Mia Thermopolis-PRIVATE DIARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

November 11-G&T

Well, I guess I didn't realize that I dumped Kenny right before the fall dance. Shoot. At least if I were still with Kenny, I could go and ignore him all night, and dance with Michael instead. (Man, I have gotten cruel since Kenny asked me out!!) I guess I'll have to go stag.

Wait, I can hear Michael talking. I'm going to eavesdrop for a minute. He's talking with Lilly.

Oh my God. Maybe I won't go to the dance at all! Listen to what I just heard:

Lilly: So…did you find a date to the dance?

Michael: Unfortunately.

L: What does that mean?

MM: Well, I had planned on asking…that person…to the dance, but since you "forbid" me from liking her, I can't.

L: Oh, shut up. It is not even my fault. You know it would be weird for you to date one of my friends.

Okay, at this point, I was hyperventilating.

L: Not to mention the fact that she does have a guy who's head over heels in love with her, and would be heartbroken if you dated her…

MM: I know, I know, just be quiet.

L: So…who are you taking to the dance?

MM: That girl from my calc class.

L: Who's that?

MM: Taryn Bloom

I stopped listening at this point.

Okay, first of all, that whole "liking Lilly's friend thing"…I have to figure out who they were talking about! One of Lilly's friends with a guy who's head over heels for her…

Oh my God.

Shameeka!!!!

That has to be it. I mean, Tina broke up with that guy she was seeing from a different school, and I broke up with Kenny, and I've never seen Michael with any of Lilly's other friends.

I can't believe he likes Shameeka.

Well, I guess it's not ridiculous, seeing as how Shameeka is tall, but not freakishly so, like I am, and she's pretty, unlike me, and she has breasts, definitely unlike me. And I guess the whole "she's got a boyfriend, you can't have her thing." You always want the things you can't have.

God, that's like my mantra.

So, he likes Shameeka. Hmmm. Suddenly I'm incredibly jealous of her. But she would never go out with him. He's not her type. Her boyfriend is her type-buff, killer smile, a slacker in school. No offense to her boyfriend, but he's kind of a slouch in the academics department.

And Lilly "forbade" Michael from liking her. That's totally Lilly. But for Michael to just accept it…that's kind of weird. I would've thought he would've stood up to her. Well, maybe he doesn't really like her that much, he just thinks she's hot or something.

Moving on…Taryn Bloom!!! God, I can't believe he's going to the dance with her. What could he possibly see in her?

Well, that's not being fair. To be completely honest, she's perfect. She's skinny, pretty, smart, with the perfect sized breasts for her body, perfect hair, perfect skin, perfect teeth, perfect…everything. You get the idea. Plus, she's really really nice. You know…so you really want to hate her, I mean, REALLY want to hate her, but you can't, because she's so freaking nice. It makes you wonder if she has any flaws whatsoever. I mean, even her NAME is perfect-Taryn Bloom. It sounds like a flower or…a…plant or…something. ??

And now she's going to the dance with him.

I think that's one school event that I can skip.

I wanted to go with Mia.

Enough said.
