Princess Diaries

"Me no own you no sue"

Chapter 3: Home sweet home

As Mia stepped onto the bus she hollered to Lily, "save me a seat," but of course someone was just about to take the spot next to her. Mia was forced to sit with Mandy, the most popular girl in the school, also the rudest. But, lately she was being nicer, this was their last year of high school and although Mia didn't really realize this, she was a princess.

Mandy: Are you going to sit here??

Mia: Yep…

Mandy: Ughh

Mia: Umm listen, just because we are not best friends and you think that you are the most…

Mandy: Uhh know!!!

Mia: popular thing in this school I can still sit here ok…

Mia takes out a bottle of water and spills it all over Mandy's hair and goes to sit somewhere else. There was someone named Chester Sylvester on the bus (sitting next to Michael) who was way more willing to sit with Mandy. So they switched seats.

Mia: I cant believe that Lars refuses (along with the limo driver) to come pick us up if we get detention!

Michael: I cant believe that they try to fit all the people who have received detention on the same late bus. All the intramurals get there own bus and there only like 18 of 'em!!

Mia: Yeah…….

The rest of the ride home is silent between them since Mia falls right asleep on his shoulder. Michael wakes her up as the are only a stop away from theirs and Mia just nods her head and steps off the bus with her eyelids shut tight. She then waves goodbye to Michael and Lily and opens her eyes to the cloudy sky's, brisk air and can feel the whipping wind on her back. She knows it is late fall but she is freezing. Michael is only steps away from his house and when he sees Mia he throws her his jacket. Mia can barely catch it but she manages and then quickly bundles herself up. She walks with a slow pace to her house looking down at the sidewalk with its cracks so deep into the ground it looked like scars. There were patches of brown stains and dogs foot prints and children's marks from where they had traced themselves with chalk. Mia boots the pebbles up the sidewalk with her torn ratty boots and then opens her house door to the smell of coffee and the feeling of a warm and welcome home. She slams the door quickly so the heat wont escape. As she stands on the welcome mat wiping her feet she looks around. Her mom had started to put up Christmas charms, reefs, and little trinkets all over the house. That's when it hit her. THIS FRIDAY WAS CHRISTMAS EVE!!! She started to jump up and down and screamed!! She quickly ran over to the phone to call her Grandmother.

Mia: Hi, is Grandmere there?

Butler: One minute please.

Grandmere: Huloo

Mia: Hi, its me.

Grandmere: Uhh huh

Mia: Well, Michael asked me to go on a date this Friday evening and well, I was wondering if that was alright.

Grandmere: Quite alright dear.

Mia just hung right up on her Grandmere and ran to her room to change.

Lily called and asked her to go eat out with her and she said diffidently. She would be by to pick her up in about an hour.
