Tuesday, after school

The most beautiful thing has just happened to Grove High School. His name? Dylan McCarthy. Yes, yes, I know what you are saying. I am supposed to love Michael, right? I do! But oh God, he is sooo totally CUTE!

But of course, I have to make A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FOOL OUT OF MYSELF! WHY ME? Why was I cursed with such freakishness?!

Okay, here's the scoop:

I was walking down the hall to my locker thinking about the seals that my dad's money is saving for me getting Princess lessons(which by the way I don't have to take for a whole MONTH! Grandmere is visiting some cousin, or something), and I felt someone's eyes on me. Which is weird, because no one ever looks at me! Who wants to look at a flat-chested freak? I turned my head, and he was so totally staring me. Dylan, I mean.

His hotness kind of swayed my mind, and (Poor Boris) I didn't even see the person that was on the ground (tying his shoes I learned later) and I kind of…slipped and tripped over him. My head smacked right into Lilly's open locker.

It was terrible! Everyone started laughing at me like I was some kind of freak show! Which I suppose is true. I really AM a freak, but geez, they don't have to be so rude about it!

So anyway, there I was, lying on the ground with a big bruise on my head. Lilly and Boris loomed over me, asking repeatedly if I was okay. Which, of course, I was. Well, physically, but MENTALLY? My life was just RUINED! A total babe is watching me, and what do I do? TRIP AND RUN INTO A LOCKER.

Great just, GREAT.

But apparently, it was. I throw caution to the wind and looked over in his direction. He was talking to Josh Richter (He's friends with Josh Richter!?) and I saw him ask Josh something. I couldn't quite hear, and I sooo didn't want anyone to think I was staring OR eavesdropping so I turned away.

As I was turning I heard Josh say: "Who her? Oh that's Mia Thermopolis. You don't want to hang around her, she's a freak."

Gee, thanks Josh.

That just made me so mad. I mean, why would Josh say that to someone? I didn't do anything to him! Well, except ditch him in front of the whole school. But, let's be reasonable, he DID deserve it. You don't just go up to someone and kiss him or her in front of the PRESS. Does anyone do that? Anyone at all!?!?

I didn't think so.

Well, so anyway, he wanted to know my name. The gorgeous boy wanted to know my name! So I did the next sensible thing: I asked Lilly to figure out his name.

She was good at doing that, I remember one time, there was this boy that kept staring at Shameeka every time she crossed his path. One time he even winked! Well, she didn't know his name, and Lilly was sick of her going on and on about how he was nameless, so she took action. Lilly got his name- AND his phone number, AND address. Shameeka was so excited she almost peed her pants (I am not kidding) Lilly never did tell us how she got the information, but every time Bobby (that was his name) saw Lilly, he ran. Maybe I shouldn't have asked Lilly…

And I realized that, YES I shouldn't have asked! I couldn't believe she would do this to me. SHE TOLD MICHAEL.

When I had gotten home, I went to check my mail, and someone Instant Messaged me.

CracKing: Hey.

FtLouie: Hey, Michael!

It was Michael! MICHEAL! I can't breath!!! Why CAN'T I BREATHE?!?!?!

CracKing: His name is Dylan McCarthy.

FtLouie: whose name?

CracKing: The guy that was staring at you.

I almost died! What?! WHAT?! Lilly had told him?! It was the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to me. I can't believe it! I don't know who she thinks she is, but she is defiantly NOT my friend.

I pretended to play it cool.

FtLouie: What guy?

CracKing: Don't pretend like you don't know what I am talking about. The guy that you are obviously wanting to know. He asked me about you. He said he looked at you, and you smacked into a locker. Ha! Ha! Ha! Good job, Thermopolis!

So Lilly hadn't told. Good. But why would he talk to Josh AND Michael? They were both so totally different.

CracKing: Hey, did you hear about the Murder?

Murder? What Murder? Where did THAT come from?

FtLouie: Murder? What Murder?

CracKing: Some girl. Amy Molivack.

FtLouie: Oh no, I haven't heard. How terrible!

CracKing: Yeah. It's in the Newspaper. I can't talk, Thermopolis, Sontanna just got here. Bye.

Grrrr!

FtLouie: Okay, bye.

KILLINGS?! IN MY TOWN?! He was right, it was in the Newspaper. Turns out it was a serial killer. Read! I cut it out and pasted it into this book.

Serial Killer Strikes again!

You think you're safe in your own home,

but so did Amy Molivack. She was the next

victim of the serial killings that have been

struck all over the world, and she

Didn't know it! Now they hit

here! Lock your doors and windows folks,

you never know who could be next.

That's pretty freaky. Who writes things like that?! Why would you want to scare us all to DEATH!?
