Daydreamer-022 - Here is your chapter, as per ordered. I updated as quick as possible. Hehe. I know what you mean about Mia's stupidness. She's more clueless than anyone. But then again, its a story, so yeah. :) Also, still skank free.
Sarahamanda: Thanks yet again. Hope you like this chapter.
robtaymattlouned: I'm glad your liking it, and hopefully this chapter will answer your questions. :)
Chapter 7: Conciliation.
Still angry at Lilly and fuming at Mia, I headed outside to walk to school. I was late already, and wouldn't make it on time. Mia was waiting next to the limo. I looked at her, and she looked upset. Deserves her right. Not even speaking to her, I started walking off when she called me.
"Michael!" she yelled. "Wait."
I stopped slightly, and then continued on.
"Michael," she said again, and I could hear in her voice that she was near crying. "Please don't walk away from me."
I turned slowly and she started to walk up to me.
"I'm so sorry Michael," she said.
"And?" I said back, expressionless.
"And," said Mia. "I know I screwed up. All I can do is ask for your forgiveness."
I looked to her, and was quite. I turned and started walking towards school.
"At least get a lift. You'll be late," she said, distressing.
"I'm fine," I said back, continuing walking, not looking back..
I heard Mia sigh, and then Lilly arrive.
"Just leave him," she said.
****
Well an afternoon detention for being late is great isn't it! Gupta caught me sneaking into school. Stupid old bat. But I would've been caught anyway. The roll teacher would have said something.
"Michael!" called a voice, and I turned to see Victoria walking towards me.
"How are you?" I asked, concerned about her.
"Should be more how are you?"
I looked at her oddly, and she explained.
"Mia and Lilly called me last night. They told me everything."
"Everything eh?" I repeated. "Weren't you angry?"
"Sure was," she said. "And don't worry, I sorted them out."
"And what'd they say?" I asked.
What was their excuse? It better be something good.
"Well, Lilly, she was just being an annoying sister, but she's sorry Michael. She really is."
"I'm sure," I scoffed.
"Really, she is. And Mia, well she has a reason, but I can't really tell you."
"Can't tell me? Why?"
"Girl's business," she replied, a smile upon her face.
I shuddered. Okay, that was something I didn't need to know.
"Right," I said, smiling grimly.
"Yeah," she said. "So are you going to talk to them? You can't avoid them."
"I'll talk to them when I'm ready."

I watched as Victoria practised "Seven Nation Army" on the keyboard in G&T. Her music was good enough to listen to, not like Boris, so it wasn't warranted that we lock her in the cupboard too. I'd just finished work on my webzine, and usually would be helping Mia study Algebra. I looked over to her, and Kenny was sitting next to her. He keeps on smiling at her. What's up with that?
"Are you going to talk to her?" whispered Victoria.
"Yeah," I sighed. "Later."
"Do it now, and save her from Kenny!"
I laughed slightly. Suppose now was better than never. I stood up and walked over to Mia.
"Can I talk to you?" I asked her, and she looked at me, half surprised, half grateful.
"Sure," she said, standing, and we walked to the corner of the room. Kenny looked thoroughly annoyed.
"Look Mia, sorry about this morning. I was being a prick."
"No," said Mia. "I'm the one who should be apologising. And you were right. I was being a bitch."
"You're never a bitch Mia," I said, looking straight into her eyes.
We both smiled.
"Friends?" I said, holding out my hand.
"Friends," she replied smiling, but instead gave me a hug.
"Don't expect a hug from me," said Lilly. "But I am sorry Michael."
"That's okay squirt," I laughed.
"Shut your face," said Lilly, but grinning.
At last, everything was back to normal. Or so I thought.
"So are you going to tell Michael the news?" said Lilly, to Mia.
"What news?" I said, looking to Mia.
"She has a boyfriend!" giggled Lilly.
"Who?" I said, stunned, but dieing on the inside.
"Me," said a gruff voice, slipping his arm around Mia. It was Kenny.
