Mia Thermpolis- PRIVATE DIARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November 10th, Home with Fat Louie
Lord help me, I've been transferred to an alternate universe.
Today was SO WEIRD.
First of all, Kenny acted different around me, but that's understandable. I did just break up with the kid, although I seriously don't see how he didn't see it coming.
Oh wait, this is Kenny. Duh.
So, he actually got switched out of my biology class. Or, I should say, he switched himself out. Into a different teacher's class. Boy, he did that quick. He must have some connections or something. Anyway, so I have a new lab partner-some guy who's always high, and has no clue what's going on. Today, he was playing with the cotton swab, like "God, this thing is amazing."
Yeah, I made sure to keep the matches for the bunson burner away from him.
So that was weird. Then, I go to lunch, expecting everything to be normal. Most of it was. Tina, Shameeka, her boyfriend, the bodyguards, they were all being normal. But not Lilly or Michael. Well, I don't know for sure if Michael was being weird, because he wasn't sitting with us. He went back to sitting with the computer club, which made me really disappointed. I also noticed that Kenny wasn't with them-he was sitting with the Japanese anime club instead.
Anyway, Michael was a few tables over, but I guess I could tell that he looked a little different. His shirt was wrinkled, and it looked like he hadn't brushed his hair that morning. I figured he must've just stayed up late.
I felt really…weird about what had happened with him yesterday. I wasn't sure if I'd done the right thing by pretending the idea of Michael liking me was ridiculous. I mean, what if, heaven forbid, he kind of…likes me, and now he thinks I'm not interested? But on the other hand, it's more likely that he doesn't like me, and I did the right thing. If I had let on that I didn't mind the idea of him liking me and he didn't, and said that in front of all of our friends, I would be mortified.
Okay, I'm confusing myself.
Anyway, Lilly was acting the weirdest out of all of them. She kept giving me this weird look, and every now and then, she'd look over at Michael. And she hardly said a word the entire lunch period.
Very, very uncharacteristic for Lilly.
Oh God…what if she knows that I like Michael?
No, she can't. That's not possible. I haven't told anyone, there's no way that she knows that I like him.
Anyway, so then, in G&T, I had gotten my Algebra test back-a C, thank you very much!!- and I was ecstatic, and I wanted to tell Michael, so I came up to him by his computer.
Me: Hey, Michael, guess what.
Michael: What?
He barely looked up from his computer. I pulled up a chair beside him.
M: I got my Algebra test back today. Guess what I got.
He didn't say anything.
M: I got a C! Isn't that great? It's the best that I've ever gotten on an Algebra test!!
MM: That's great, Thermopolis.
Once again, he didn't even look at me. Plus, he hasn't called me Thermopolis since…well, for a long time. I used to think it was cool when he called me that, because it was a cute nickname…or something. But then, once we became better friends, he started calling me Mia, and that was much better. Now that he's back to Thermopolis, it's…weird. Like he doesn't even want to be friends with me anymore.
I really hope that's not the case.

Well, today was pretty bad too. I was trying my best to make myself stop liking Mia, but she was making it really hard. Just…her being there, and being beautiful, and wonderful, and nice, and smart, and funny…
So it was bad enough that she was just there, but when she came and sat next to me, it was even worse. I could smell her shampoo-that familiar fruity scent that I'd grown to love when I'd slow danced with her at the dance- and I was in constantly in a state of hyper-awareness of her. I always knew exactly how far her knee was from mine, how far her hand on the desk was from my hand on the mouse. I had to force myself to stare at the computer screen so I wouldn't melt when I saw her smile.
This is going to be hard, but I've got to make myself stop liking her. If I don't, I'll go crazy.
Lilly was right. It would just be too weird if Mia and I were ever together. And if we ever broke up, Lilly would be mad at me for breaking her best friend's heart, or mad at Mia for being cruel to her brother. Plus, I'm a senior, and she's a freshman, so that would be kinda weird for me…
Oh, yeah, and the whole princess thing might be a factor…
