Chapter Seven...
Mia's POV
I'm at the Plaza doing homework, or at least trying to. But I keep thinking about what happened with Lilly earlier. What was all that about Michael?
Well I guess I'll find out now, he just IMed me.
CracKing: Hey, Thermopolis.
FtLouie: Hey, did you sort everything out this afternoon? You seemed pretty anxious about something.
CracKing: Um, I'm still trying to figure it all out. How's Kenny?
Great. Lilly must have told him. Thanks Lilly.
FtLouie: Did Lilly tell you?
CracKing: Yeah, sort of. So do you really like him?
What business is it of his anyway?
FtLouie: Well, it's not as if there's a bunch of guys lining up to ask me out or anything.
There's no point in trying to hide the truth now.
CracKing: That's not true.
FtLouie: Oh yeah? Who do you know who would want to date a freak like me?
CracKing: You're not a freak, Mia.
Huh. He called me Mia, he never does that.
FtLouie: Oh yeah? Would you wanna go out with me?
It just slipped out. I can't believe I wrote that. I wasn't actually asking him out or anything. Aargh! Can I take it back? How do you delete these things?
CracKing: Yes.
Wait a minute. WHAT??? Did he just say what I think he did? He must be joking.
Michael's POV
Whoa! What did I just say to her? Did I just tell her I wanted to go out with her?
I couldn't help it. I read what she said, my heart answered yes, and so did my fingers. I had no control over them.
Oh great, how am I going to explain my way out of this one?
FtLouie: What?
So I did the only thing I could think of in my panicked state.
I logged off.
Mia's POV
He logged off! Even if he was only joking, which he must have been, he shouldn't have just logged off! How rude.
Now what am I supposed to think?
Michael's POV
Everything is so messed up. Mia is going out with Kenny, Lilly knows how I feel about Mia and is angry with me, now Mia proberly knows how I feel too and will never speak to me again.
I didn't exactly want to face Mia in the limo this morning, not after what happened last night. So I got up a little earlier and got the subway to school.
At least I wont have to see her till lunch, and even then I can still avoid her, it's not like we sit together at the same table or anything.
God, I am so pathetic.
Mia's POV
Michael didn't catch a ride with us this morning.
Lilly says he got up extra early and rushed out of the apartment. He didn't even say anything to her.
But I'm not disappointed, I'm actually a little relieved. I mean, I want to talk to him about what happened last night, but not in front of Lilly.
So seeing him, but not saying anything would have just been uncomfortable.
Here comes Kenny.
"Hi, Mia!" He said enthusiastically.
"Hi, Kenny." I said, with much less enthusiasm.
"Can I walk you to your locker? Here, let me take your bag."
"Ok." What else could I say? "Sorry, Kenny, I don't like you that way. I'm actually in love with my best friends brother, but apparently he thinks the idea of dating me is a joke." No. I do not think so.
So I let him walk me to my locker. It was no big deal, it's not like I let him press me up against the locker, like Josh was doing to Lana when we got there.
Michael's POV
G&T, I'm sitting against the window, I know Mia has seen me, but I am just pretending to be busy on my computer. But I'm too confused and stressed to do any work, so I'm playing Solitair, only I can't concentrate so I'm not doing very well. I don't think she want's to talk in front of Lilly either.
Lilly isn't too happy. I don't really see what business it is of hers though. But she sure is acting like it's her business. She is talking to Mia, and I can see from over the top of my laptop that they are talking about something Mia is not very happy about discussing. Oh God, please don't let them be talking about me! Please no!
Mia's POV
Lilly is badgering me about Kenny. She is under the impression that I am using him to make someone else jealous, but when I ask her who, she shuts up. She doesn't know anything. I'm not using Kenny to make anyone jealous. I mean, really, who would be jealous of Kenny?
Michael hasn't spoken to me all day. He is sitting by the window, pretending to be working on his computer. Or maybe he really is working, I can't tell. All I know, is he hasn't made any attempt to speak to me today.
Maybe he has grown a conscience and feels bad about what he said last night. But if that's true, why hasn't he apologised yet?
