A/N: I own nothing but Sk8rBoi.

SilverSerpent: I LOVE Avril Lavigne, and her song IS the inspiration to my stalker's screen name.

Molly The Day Dreaming Abhorsen: Thank you! It means a lot to me! Is Abhorsen from Sabriel or Librael? It sounds really familiar… Oh, and I'm very sorry I haven't updated lately. I've been on vakay with my dad in a place where I was sans computer.

Thanx for all the reviews!!!!!! It makes me so happy, it does! Thank you for all the praise for the WRONG PERSON sketch in the fourth chapter…… I've never done it, but I've had it done many times to me.

I'll be talking to someone (R u goin to the party tonite?) and they'll be like (NO! The spider belongs to me! It's mine! Not my fault it bit you!) and I'm like (What?!) and they'll be like (Wrong person.) So I'm like (What're u wearin on the 1 day of skool?) and they'll be like (DIE RABID MONKEY DIE!) So I'm like (WTF?!?) and they'll be like (O, sry. I was talking 2 some1 else.)

I really don't want to know who she was talking to! I have a feeling it would just disturb and traumatize me.

Thank you for listening to my rant! And now……………… The FEATURE PRESENTATION! DUHDUHDUHDAH!

Chapter 5

September 22, 2002- Home

If there's something in between complete and utter BOREDOM, complete and utter TERROR, and complete and utter HUMILIATION that's where I am right now.

I'm (a) bored because, hello, there's nothing to do but (b) wallow in my complete terror and think about my IM last night which ( c) Michael hasn't stopped talking about all day even in front of LILLY and the rest of the G&T class to my humiliation. Remember when I said I wasn't going to tell anyone in fear of them being chopped up? Yeah, I cracked.

Here's the conversation:

Michael: Come on, Thermopolis, tell me who you were talking to!

Me: I wasn't talking to anyone!

Michael: You were too! And from what you were saying it was someone who doesn't like you.

Me: Na ah!

Lilly: What are you guys talking about?

Michael: None of your business.

Lilly: It is my business.

Me: It's neither of your businesses!

Lilly: What's not our business?

Me: Nothing!

Michael: Thermopolis!!!!!

Lilly: MIA!

Me: What?

Lilly: What's not my business, Michael?

Michael: Nothing. (To me) Mia, who were you talking to? What note?

Lilly: Who was she talking to when? About what note?

Me: No one! No note!

Lilly: MICHAEL!

Michael: Lilly, butt out.

Lilly: I WILL NOT BUTT OUT!

Me: Um.

Michael: Mia………Please?

Me: Why?

Michael: Because it sounded as if you really didn't like the guy.

Lilly: What guy?!
Me: Welllllllllll……..

Michael: And on the IM you said something was wrong.

Me: I did?

Michael: And then you said "nothing" when I asked what it was.

Lilly: The mystery unfolds……..

Michael: Shut up Lil.

Me: Maybe it is nothing.

Michael/Lilly: Maybe it's not.

Lilly/Michael: Shut up!

(This is where I completely crack.)

Me: Well someguykeepsIM-ingmeandIkeepfindingweirdnotesfromhim.

Michael: Wait, what?

Lilly: What kind of notes?

Lars: Princess? What notes?

Me: Well…… I found two notes in my jacket/sweater thingy's pocket. I dunno how they got there……

Lars/Lilly/Michael: Let me see!

(I'm shaking now as I take the notes from my binder)

Michael: Who's Sk8rBoi?

Lilly: "Future happiness"?

Lars: Looks like a prank.

Me: Sk8erBoi is his screen name. No clue. Hope so.

Lilly: The handwriting looks familiar……. I can't place it….

Michael: What does he mean 'pretty pretty princess'? Is he like in love with you?!

Me: No! I think he's mad at me. On the IM he said I hurt his feelings.

Lilly: Who have you been mean to lately?

Michael/Me: No one!

Lilly: (Looks at Michael)

Michael: (Blushing) Well, she's never mean to anyone!

Lilly: Ah huh.

The bell rang right then.

Needlessly to say I sprinted to my next class. Yes, I sprinted. Knocked over a few people on the way, too.

But before I sprinted away, Michael said something weird under his breath. I barely heard it over the noise of people gathering their stuff. He said: I'll find this b@st@rd, princess if it's the last thing I do.
