Chapter 5: Spastic spiders
Some hotel
I'm stuck somewhere in Europe (too bad it's not Iceland).
How did I get here? Well, we all went to the airport this morning and met up with everyone. I said goodbye to my mom (everyone was starring at her, it must have been pretty weird to see a mutant princess with a huge suitcase following an enormous pregnant woman who kept saying 'Now Mia, stay out of trouble, and don't forget, this is going to be FUN'). I have never been so embrassed in my whole life. I felt like shit. I think it might be compared to what my mom felt when she saw what she had pushed out of her uterus. a mutant princess. she must have thought 'what on earth have I got myself into??' Now my mom has never actually admitted she felt this way, but she must have, since I was the result of all the hard work. Anyway, I'm getting off topic. So we were all standing there, thank god for Tina, I would have been all alone if she hadn't been there. There were all these cheerleaders and some 10th graders I didn't know. They seemed pretty nice though, I might talk to them later. But Tina and I were sitting there, talking about this new romance novel Tina had read the night before and then all of a sudden Tina went 'So how do you feel about the fact that Michael is on this trip." Trying to get away with not answering the question I said 'Tina, you sound like Lilly's dad' 'No Mia,' Tina said. 'He wouldn't ask you about Michael, considering that Michael's his son and all.' This was so totally true but now ay was I going to admit that she was right. I just went 'well. I don't have any feelings about this matter Tina.' I could ffel my nostrils flare WAY out and I was totally mortivied when Tina said, 'Mia, you're lying, you're nostrils are flaring Way out.' So now Tina knows too. How am I ever going to get through life without lying? I need to learn how I can keep my nostrils under control, maybe they also sell books about nostril control, like the anger management one I got my dad. But I ended up telling Tina EVERYTHING and then she just laughed. LAUGHED!!! I mean, hello Tina, I thought you were the one that would be supportive about this whole issue. No she just laughs. But when she saw the look on my face she stopped. 'Mia, don't look so depressed, I was only laughing because you have nothing to worry about. You and Michael are perfect for eachother. And you'll find out all about it on this trip, belief me.' She then left to search for food. It might be because I believed her, or maybe the fact that I hadn't had any breakfast his mornign due to the fact that I was so nervous, but I followed her. It was good that I did because we had just stocked up on Mars bars and chips when one of the supervisors walked over. 'hey girls, there's a little problem. look out of the window.' Which we did, and all we saw was this insane white fog. 'So,' the supervisor went on. 'I think it's pretty obvious we can't take off in this weather.'
We waited for about five hours, I talked to Tina, did some Algebra with Michael ~I don't remember the Algebra, but who cares, No school for two weeks!!~ and had a debate with Lana, she must have gotten bored when she walked over to us. We finally landed on some weird European airport, but it turned out we had missed our flight to Ghana. They put us up in some hotel, which is where I am writing this now. It sucks!!!
Oh, I got to go have some dinner.
Later:
Well, dinner was good, I sat at a table wih Tina, this girl Marina (who's really pretty and nice, I'm sure Michael will fall in love with her on this trip.) We were talking about guys nailing their balls to a piece of board I think, when all of a sudden Tina went, 'Wow, check out that spider!!' At which we all looked over to where she was pointing. There was this really spastic spider on the wall doing this weird dance. We all burst out laughing. It wasn't that funny actually but it must have been the nerves. I glanced up at Michael and he looked at me and for a moment it was like. Like something was there, but that's probably just me. My mental instability is really getting to me now. Oh g2g, someones knocking on the door.
Right, that was just the group of 10th graders, these three guys and three girls, who were wondering if Tina and I wanted to go swimming with them. Well, NO, since our bags were still at the airport. I am so not going swimming in my underwear. I mean, what will Michael think then??
The pool sounds really inviting though.
Arghh, I hate these mental arguments, maybe I do have a borderline personality.
No, I'm not going, I have to write about the disorganization of European hotels first.. you see, I'm sharing a room with Tina, so after dinner we all got our rooms assigned. Tina and I walked up to our room and opened the door. Guess what we found there, a pair of red/blue boxers!!! And of course some suitcases and stuff like that. They had given us a room that was already taken. This was too much for both Tina and myself that we ran out of the room screaming, thank god there was noone in there at the moment. We stormed down the stairs and finally told our story to the reception. They were really nice about it though and now we have a different room, right next to Michael and this other guy Chris, who's alsos part of the super smart people group. So yeah, it was acually kind of funny, but I'm really tired so I'm going to go to sleep now. I wonder what will happen next.
A/N: hope you liked it, r/r please!!!
