**Chapter 5**
Previously...
"Hello?"
Lars's voice talks on the other line, "Well, ready for princess lessons?"
GROAN.
***********
Mia's POV
I HATE Princess Lessons. With a passion. I swear Grandmere specializes in making my life miserable. And she's really good at it.
I'm walking back to my apartment. Lars is following closely behind me, knowing that I hate to draw attention to the fact that I have an enormous bodyguard and therefore not following immediately behind me.
I'm really lucky that Lars is my bodyguard and not someone who lurches around and interrupts all my private moments.
Not that Lars doesn't lurch. He's very good at lurching, in fact. Oh, Nevermind.
Oh my God. Kenny's here. He's walking towards me! What's going on?
Uh-oh. He looks upset. This can't be good. I cast a look over my shoulder at Lars who is glaring at Kenny. He never liked him that much. Too much Japanese anime, I suppose.
Michael's POV
Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.
My yellow tennis ball makes a soft thud as it comes in contact with my bedroom wall. I have so much that I could be doing right now.
I have an English paper due Tuesday, and I have a AP Physics test on Wednesday. I could even finish up work on Crackhead. I just don't feel like it.
Mia left four hours ago. Or about four hours ago, I mean who's counting?
....me....
I really need to stop doing that.
I mean, all reliable sources are saying that Mia and Andrew...are together now.
**Flashback**
Nathalie smiled at me. I had run into her on the way to get some milk. I really had a craving for a good bowl of cereal.
She was talking. I guess I need to listen.
"But anyways, wasn't it so funny how obvious that Andrew and Mia were into each other?"
Holy Crap. Oh no.
"I mean, I'm surprised they didn't start kissing right there."
Stop! Now!
I stutter as I try to form a coherent response, "Uhh...M-Mia has a b- boyfriend. Kenny."
Nathalie smiles knowingly. "Well I know my brother! He likes Mia! And she'll break up with Kenny."
I avert my eyes and stare at the cardboard sign on the lampost thats advertising a free concert. I should have figured. I need to get out of here. Now.
I shout a quick goodbye at Nathalie who waves, dissapointed. As I run off, the cold milk carton cooling my leg, I keep thinking one thing.
I should've figured.
*End of Flashback*
Mia's POV
Oh my God. Kenny is...ugh. I don't even know!
Here's what happened:
So Kenny is practically livid and he comes up to me and says, "Hello Mia."
So I know that somethings wrong because he always says "Hey sweetie" or something along those lines. So, for starters, he is completely hostile in greeting.
That should have been my first clue.
Then he says, "We need to talk."
I'm so clueless, so I just nod my head, waiting for him to continue.
And he does. "Mia, I don't think we should see each other anymore."
WHAT??!?!?!
Kenny is breaking up with me? How did this happen? Not that I'm extremely upset, but what brought this on?
I stare blankly at him and he goes on, "I understand that we've been going out for awhile, so naturally you would start to look at other guys."
Oh my God. He knows about Michael. He knows about the dare, about the ice cube. About the...almost-kiss.
I start babbling, "Oh Kenny, I'm sorry, I can explain..." He cuts me off, "and I can see why you would like Andrew Kelley. But you should've told me before you...before you did anything."
I stare. What was he talking about? Andrew Kelley? Nathalie's brother? Before i did WHAT?
"Kenny, I have no idea what you're talking about. I just met Andrew this morning. I don't like him like that."
I like Michael Moscovitz...stop Mia! But before I can lose myself in my dreams, Kenny goes on.
"There's no need to keep the cover up. I know you guys...got together last night at Lilly's house. And although I am sad that our relationship must end, I don't feel as though I can continue."
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?!
I mean, I am flabbergasted! Where is this coming from?
"Kenny, I honestly have NO idea what you're talking about! Where did you hear this from! What's going on?! How could you think that I would do that! Especially with someone I hardly know!"
Kenny shakes his head, "Mia. I heard all about it. I overheard Nathalie talking to Michael about it today."
W-H-A-T!!!!!
Nathalie said what? TO MICHAEL?! Oh my God. This is bad. Very bad.
I turn to my boyfri---well my ex-boyfriend now, I guess, "Kenny. I did nothing with Andrew. I have never cheated on you. I met Andrew this morning and I talked to him for maybe ten minutes. But you're right, I don't think we should see each other anymore."
He stared at me. I could see the disbelief etched on his face. He doesn't believe me, nor trust me. I shake my head muttering, "believe what you want" before stalking off, my bitter mood augmented.
I can hear Lars quicken his pace behind me as he tries to keep up. Why would Nathalie say something like that? To Michael? And how would she ever get that idea? Oh God, I am in such a mess.
Usually, in times like this, I go and see Lilly. But I can't. Not with Michael there. I don't know where to go.
I walk around and around. Lars quietly follows me. He can tell that I don't want to be disturbed. I am lucky that he is so cool.
Still wandering. For about fifteen minutes. Finally I stop and look up. It's Tina's apartment building.
I slowly, almost lethargically walk up to the door and smile at the doorman. He's seen me before and lets me into the lobby.
Tina's apartment building is huge. And it has so much security. Seriously. Getting past the doorman is the first step. Then there's the lobby, which is just a wall with buttons on it. You have to press the right apartment building and enter a code to even get to the speaker.
Once you reach the speaker, you have to indentify yourself and get buzzed up. Then the door opens and you walk into the atrium. There, they take ID.
I am so serious. They TAKE ID. I guess a lot of important people live there. If you don't have ID they take your picture on some fancy photo device. It's insane.
But anyways, it takes about fifteen minutes just to get that done and then finally, I am at Tina's door. Her bodyguard answers and looks at me suspiciously for a minute. Then Tina comes in and waves him away.
I walk into her elaborately decorated apartment and just stare around for a minute. I don't even know where to start!
Tina looks at me for a minute before speaking, "What's up? You look upset..."
I turn and face her. Upset. Yes. Very upset.
I nod slowly, "Nathalie Kelley has messed up some things."
Tina's confused, "what do you mean?"
So I start talking.
Michael's POV
Thud. Thud. Thud.
Same tennis ball. Same wall.
Same thoughts of Mia.
And Andrew.
I really can't win. I mean, first she's with Kenny. Then that almost ends but of course Andrew's there first. I mean, maybe I should just move on. Everything is too upsetting when it comes to Mia.
Except that I know that isn't true. Mia is great. She's seriously perfect. And the only reason I get so upset is because I like her so much. I'm just trying to protect myself. But it isn't working. I'm so confused.
I walk over to my computer and click the "sign on" button. Maybe the internet will distract me.
Buddy List: I_luv_romance.
Hey. Isn't that Tina?
Mia's POV
Tina's staring at me.
I just told her what Kenny told me.
"Why would Nathalie tell Michael that?"
I sighed and shook my head, "I don't know. 'Cause she likes Michael?"
For the first time in the somber conversation, the edges of Tina's lips curved up in a tiny smile, "just like you?"
I rolled my eyes. I had to tell Tina about my unrequited love for Michael. Her response? "Well Duh!"
I hope I wasn't this transparent all the time!
I should go though. I can't stay here, I should go home and think of a way to figure this whole mess out.
"Tina, I should leave you alone..."
Tina shook her head firmly, "No way Thermopolis."
Thermopolis. Michael calls me that...Ugh! Snap out of it!
I nod tiredly, "I should go soon."
Tina nods, "Sure, sure. What do you wanna do?"
Her inquiry was punctuated by a small, cheery "ding!" sound from her computer.
I turned and saw...
Omg. CracKing.
Michael just Im'd her.
Tina rushed over to the computer, tossing me a look over her shoulder.
Sitting down at the computer, she quickly typed, her still-pink nails tapping furiously on the keys.
I_luv_romance: Hi
CracKing: Hey, what's up?
I_luv_romance: Not much, Mia's here and we're just hanging out.
CracKing: Oh. That's cool. Tell her I said Hi.
I_luv_romance: I will.
CracKing: Well, I should go! Bye!
::CracKing has signed off::
Well, obviously the subject of me makes him sign off .
What a mess!
Michael's POV
Right. So I could've just straightened things out with Mia, but of course, instead I just sign off like a wuss.
I piss myself off a lot.
Forget this. I'm going out. I wonder if Mia's coming home from Tina's. Maybe I'll see her on the way...
But that's not the reason I'm going out, of course. I need some fresh air. Besides, I think we need some more milk...or something.
