Disclaimer: I own no one except the character of Victoria. Don't sue :)
A/N: Victoria is not out of the books or movie, she is simply fictional to create a storyline. I've only read the first Princess Diaries book, so forgive if I misquote the facts; I'm getting some of them from other stories eg Kenny, Mia's b/f. So tell me if anything's wrong with it, I'd be glad to know and then I can fix it up. Thanks. Please review.
Chapter 1: A Bad Start.
This afternoon was weird. It was more than weird actually. It was awkward. Victoria, (my new best friend as Lily puts it), was coming over for the night. She is a senior like me, and she is fairly new to school - she's been there for about 8 months now. We hit if off surprisingly well considering my group of friends equates to a pathetic answer.
She was going to fix something on my computer, and then we were going to watch some movies in the lounge room. Lily had to go and stuff it up though by inviting Mia over. Mum and Dad are away for the weekend so Lily decided they could a have a little girl's night slash slumber party. Please! But no, Lily doesn't decide to tell me this either, and I open the door thinking it was Vic and Mia's standing there.
"Mia?" I say stupidly. "What are you doing here?"
"Hi to you too Michael," she laughs, beautifully mind you. "Didn't Lily tell you I was coming over?"
"No she didn't" I replied, now irritated at Lily.
"We're just watching some movies," she said coming in. "I guess you could join us," she adds after a pause.
"Sorry," I say, braving it. After all, Mia does have a boyfriend. "I've got Vic coming over."
"Vic?" said Mia quickly.
"Yeah," I say. "She's staying the night I think."
"Oh," said Mia, and then we talked for a bit more, and then she said it.
I looked to Vic and watched as she typed away at my computer. She was fixing something that I couldn't. Trust her to know more than I do.
"Thanks for this," I said, from my bed.
"That's alright," she said turning and smiling, still typing away though. "Anything for a friend."
Friend. Oh how I hate that word. It was Mia telling me how much she loves having me as a friend. I love her more than a friend. But no, she has a boyfriend.
"So what are you going to do about Mia?" asked Victoria, seeming to read my mind. " I can tell you are thinking about her."
"How?" I asked, raising my eyebrows.
"Because your face went all solemn when I said friend, and then you started smiling. What else would make you smile except Mia?"
"Bitch," I laughed.
"Oh how dare you?!" she said, in a mock horrified tone.
We laughed for a moment, but then she spoke, again about Mia. Why couldn't she drop it?
"I'm serious Michael. You should tell her."
"No," I said grumpily, crossing my arms stupidly.
"Are you 5?" she protested. "Come on! Be a man! You're 18 for crying out loud!"
"And she's 15!"
"It's not paedophilia you know!"
"I know," I said, resigning to the fact that I just didn't have the guts to say it straight to Mia's face. "I guess I just don't have the nerves."
"Well I'll tell her then!" she said, standing. "She's in Lily's room now isn't she?"
"Oh no no!" I said, getting up quickly.
"Why not?" she asked, pushing past me. "Mia!" she yelled.
She ran down the hallway to Lily's room and I followed her. Lucky the door was closed.
"Victoria!" I yelled, half laughing, catching up to her and grabbing her. "Don't! Please don't!"
It could not have looked worse. I had my arms wrapped tightly around Victoria, and she was laughing when Mia opened Lily's door. I dropped my hands from Vic instantly, but by the look on Mia's face, I could tell she thought something was going on between us.
"Uh, hi guys. What'd you want?" she said, her voice quavering slightly. Maybe there was something between Mia and I?
"I've got something to tell you," said Victoria, before I could speak.
I sighed heavily and grabbed Victoria again.
"No, she doesn't," I said looking straight at Mia, trying to pull Vic back to my room.
"Yes, I do," she said, getting away from me again. "Either you tell her Michael, or I will."
Victoria looked straight at me, with seriousness about her face. I looked from her to Mia, and Mia looked confused.
"What's going on?" she asked.
"I'll tell her," I said, cutting in on Vic who was just starting to talk.
"Good," she said happily. "I'll be at your computer."
I watched as Vic made her way back to my room, and waited till she closed the door.
"Michael?" said Lily, in her whiny voice. "What are you doing?"
"Come here," I said to Mia, taking her hand. I took her outside.
"Michael, this isn't funny. What's going on?"
It wasn't funny for me either.
"Mia," I began. "There's something that I've been wanting to say for a long time, but I just don't know how to say it."
I looked up at her, and she looked so beautiful in the moonlight.
"You don't have to Michael. I've already figured it out," said Mia, and I noticed a tear rolling down her face.
"You have?" I said astounded. Was she that happy that she was crying, or was I missing something?
"Yeah, I have," she said softly.
I sighed with relief. "Oh Mia.. I'm so glad you know now."
Nothing else seemed like the right thing to do, and so I leaned in and went to kiss her.
"Michael!" she said loudly pulling away. "What are you doing? I have a boyfriend!"
Those words stung, and everything seemed to come crashing down.
"And you've got a new girlfriend," she said. "I hope you and Victoria are happy together!"
What?! Before I could say or do anything Mia ran back inside. I followed her and caught up to her a lot easier that Victoria.
"Mia," I said grabbing her arm just as she got to Lily's. "You don't understand."
"I think I understand perfectly well!" she roared, as Lily came out.
"Michael!" she yelled.
Oh god, not now!
"Get your hand's off her!" yelled Lily.
"I'm trying to tell her something," I yelled back at Lily as Mia grabbed her stuff.
"I gotta go," she said to Lily, and started to leave.
"What did you do to her?" yelled Lily, grabbing me as Mia went down stairs.
Wouldn't she just shut up?!
"Lily," I yelled. "For once in your life, just please SHUT UP. I'm trying to tell Mia that I love her!"
Oh my god. I just said it. The only person I ever told was Victoria. Now my younger sister knows that I love her best friend.
"What?!" said Lily, still angry from me yelling at her.
"I'm in love with Mia."
I went after Mia, but as I reached downstairs I saw the door shut. She just must have left. I ran after her, running down the driveway.
"Mia!" I yelled as I saw the limousine door shut and then drive off. "Mia!"
Great. Everything was totally screwed up. I love Mia, but she's going out with Kenny. Mia likes me, but she thinks I'm going out with Victoria.
