Wednesday, December 23rd, 2 days till Xmas
I had another encounter with the Ethan kind today. I was quietly minding my own business in the library. Actually, I was checking my e-mail, secretly hoping that Michael sent me a letter. Oh well, I couldn't expect him to forgive me for breaking his heart so fast. Instead, I got one from Lily with the usual how are yous and I'm doing wells. I guess she found out about me and her brother, because she wasn't usually his distant. And then the all-mighty Ethan decided that his presence was much needed:
ET: Why good afternoon princess Mia. How do you fare on this wonderful sun-filled day?
Sarcasm was leaking out of his words. He finds new ways to irk me every time. Just look at his evil smile, bbrrr.
Me: Um, good? You?
ET: I'm doing VERY well thank you.
What was his problem?
Me: Yes?
ET: Yes...
Me: Do you need me or something?
ET: No, of course not. I merely came to see if you've rested well after all that physical activity yesterday.
Me: Thanks...I'm fine.
Et: And it was awfully kind of you to teach William how to skate.
Me: It was my pleasure. We had a lot of fun.
At the mention of WE and FUN, he dropped his smile and glared at me head-on.
ET: I didn't think you would be so very gracious and polite after ONLY being a princess for 3 or so months. It takes much work for simpletons to be so poised. You've done a very good job indeed. I've often heard about New Yorkers being vulgar barbarians. Your grandmother must be very proud of your achievements.
Was he insulting me or complementing me??? Simpleton???? BARBARIAN???
Me: Thank you... I think.
ET: You are very welcome... indeed.
He sauntered away and the room became warm again.
