Chapter Five...
Mia's POV
Today is the day I am going to find out who my admirer is. I'm nervous, what if he turns out to be someone I really don't like? What if he really is the guy who doesn't like corn in his chilli?
I'm actually glad Tina is coming with me. I'm going to need all the support I can get, especially if he tries to kidnap me.
Michael spoke to me this morning, he told me he was closing in on who my "stalker" was. I told him not to bother though. Why IS he still bothering? It's not as if he likes me or anything, at least not the way I want him to.
"It's no bother," he said "I'm just looking out for you." Too bad he doesn't want to look out for me in a boyfriend way, just in his little sister's best friend way.
Michael's POV
Well Mia still doesn't know who it is. But she says it's not a problem and that I shouldn't bother. But how can I not bother? If this guy admits who he is, and asks Mia out before I do, I will be majorly pissed off. Even though the guy proberly has more of a chance with her than I do. Why didn't I ever thinkof annonymous letters? Why? Why?
Lilly just came over to me at my lunch table. It must be important, she hates letting people see she is related to me. The feeling is mutual.
"I just thought you would like to know that Mia is planning on meeting her stalker after school today, so if you were ever planning on telling her the truth, tell her before school finishes."
"What are you talking about? Tell Mia the truth about what?" I asked.
"Don't play dumb with me, Michael." She continued, lowering her voice so no one else around us could hear her. "I know you are in love with her."
I winced and opened my mouth to rebute, but there was no point lying to Lilly, she wasn't born yesterday.
"And I think you should know, as much as this pains me to say this, but... she loves you too."
WHAT??? Since when??? Is Lilly on crack? Mia can't stand me. To her, I'm just her best friends geeky older brother.
"What are you talking about Lilly?"
"Oh as if you don't know, Michael. You two are so dense, I swear. You're both in love with each other, and you are both oblivious to the facts. Just get your act together and tell her already. I'd rather see her with you than a crazy stalker."
And with that, she stood up and left.
Wow, if all this is true, I have a lot to think about.
Mia's POV
Lilly was outraged when I told her I was meeting Jo-C-Rox after school. She said I was being reckless, what if I got kidnapped? I told her I was going to have both Lars and Wahim with me. Even Lars assured her I would be safe. I don't think she believed us though. She marched over to the cafeteria to speak to Michael. I don't know what that was about though. I guess I'll find out in G&T next.

Michael isn't helping me study for algebra today, in fact he hasn't helped me all week. He looks really stressed though. He keeps looking over at me. I'm pretending not to notice though, I hope he hasn't noticed my starring.
Now he is talking to a freshman. Ha ha, the guys looks as if Michael just asked him out on a date. Well maybe that's why Michael doesn't like me, he bats for the other team!
Michael's POV
How embarassing, I just spoke to Jeremy, and no matter how I word my questions, it always sounds like I'm asking the guy to go out with me.
But I don't think it's Jeremy though. He didn't even really know who Mia was, other than "the Princess?"
So it must be Kenny then. Now that I think about it, it makes perfect sense that it's Kenny. He's a freshman, so he is in some of Mia's classes, he is even her Bio partner. And he was acting weird at 'Rocky Horror' too.
Now I just have to find him before he finds Mia to proclaim his love for her! Eek, I'm cutting it a bit close.
Mia's POV
The final bell just rang. This is it!
I grabbed Tina in the hallway and pulled her to my locker.
"Where do you think I should go? I never specified where we should meet. Should I go wait outside the front of the school? Should I stay here? I'm so nervous. What should I do, Tina?"
"Just stay here," she replied, ""Your locker is a pretty obvious place for where he can find you."
"Ok, how do I look?"
"Fine," she said.
Lars and Wahim were standing on the other side of the hallway, waiting to jump the guy if he tried anything.
Michael's POV
I can't find Kenny anywhere! I've checked his locker, I've checked the last classroom he was in, I've checked the vending machine area, I can't find him anywhere.
I'll go check by Mia's locker, to make sure I havn't missed him.
"Hey," I said as I ran down the now empty corridoor towards her. She was standing there nervously next to Tina. "Have you seen Kenny?"
"No," she replied.
"Good, ok, well if you see him, tell him I need to speak to him urgently. Bye."
I ran off in search of him again. I had to find him before he found Mia. I just had to!
Mia's POV
Michael just came rushing up to me asking if we'd seen Kenny. He sounded pretty urgent about it. There must be some kind of Computer Club emergency. Why else would he be looking for Kenny?
Ah, speak of the devil, Kenny is walking towards us now. I wonder if he has seen Michael?
"Hey, Kenny," I said. "Michael was just looking for you."
"Oh, ok, I guess I'll see him later," he said. Kenny looked kind of nervous for some reason.
"He seemed to think it was pretty important. He just ran down the hall a minute ago, you could probably still catch him." I said.
"No, that's all right. I'll see him later. I actually wanted to speak to you for a minute, Mia."
"Oh, well I'm actually waiting for someone, Kenny. Can I talk to you later?"
"Your waiting for me Mia," he said.
WHAT??? Kenny is Jo-C-Rox? Kenny???
Michael's POV
I still can't find Kenny. But at least he hasn't found Mia yet. There's still hope.
Wait, that's Mia's voice, who is she talking to? I stop and head back.
I'm just around the corner from her now, I'll see who it is in a second.
Oh no! It's Kenny! He found her! I'm too late!
I stand still and listen to the conversation. They can't hear me, but I can hear them.
"Uh, so I was wondering, Mia, do you maybe want to go out with me this weekend? There is an anime convention on Saturday, I think you would like it. What do you think?"
"Uh, sure, Kenny." I heard Mia reply.
What? So much for Lilly's theory that she liked me back.
I left the conversation there, I didn't particulary want to hear anymore.
*****************************************************************************
I know you all hate Kenny, but I had to put that in there, don't worry, it'll all work out.
