Mia's POV
Lunch wasn't so bad after all. Lilly seemed fascinated by my royal status, even though she did mumble something about not believing in Monarchy or something.
I actually even invited her to come out with Tina and me this Friday. Shameeka and Ling Su are busy. We're probably only going to see a movie, but she said she'd love to come, and that we can stay the night at her apartment afterwards if we wanted. I almost died when she said that! Sleeping that close to someone as hot as her brother? Yes please!
Of course, being a Friday night he will probably be out partying with his new friends.
I could see him from where I was sitting at lunch. He is with all of the Jocks and Cheerleaders, but he actually looks uncomfortable. I'm sure he will get used to them though, and then he'll forget all about lil' old me.
It's now time for G&T. Apparently Lilly has been put into this class also, so I'm waiting for her at my locker so I can walk with her there.
I leaned back against my locker and looked down the hall to see if I could see her coming, the bell was going to go in a minute, she'd better hurry up. Despite not having teacher supervision in the class, I still didn't want to be late. I didn't see her, but I did see Michael! He was walking straight down the hall towards me! Well, obviously not straight towards me, but he was going to be coming past me.
Aargh! Stay calm, keep it cool, he's just a guy.
Yeah, just the hottest, nicest guy you've ever met!
Michael's POV
I now have a class called Gifted and Talented. But I don't really know what it is though.
Principal Gupta said it was like a study period, where students get extra time to hone their artistic or special abilities.
But when I asked Josh and a few of the other guys about it, they looked at me like I was crazy. I guess none of those guys are in that class. It doesn't surprise me that they don't fall under the Gifted or Talented category.
I'm just walking down the hall in the direction I was told the G&T room is in, and in front of me is Mia. She's just leaning up against her locker. At least no one is pressing her up against it! She's just seen me and has turned bright red. Does she do that around all new people?
As I walked past her I smiled at her, but she wasn't really looking, so I don't know if she noticed. Damn.
I walked into the room, but I couldn't see any teachers around. There also weren't many students in the room, at least not yet. Was I just supposed to sit anywhere?
I chose a seat by the window, everyone was starring at me. Am I sitting in someone's seat? Oh well, too bad.
It looks as if this class is not just for seniors. It looks as if it is for students of all year levels. I bet that means that Lilly will be in this class too. Great.
Oh well, at least that will mean I won't be the only new kid in this class for people to stare at.
Speak of the devil, Lilly just walked in. And right behind her is Mia!
I know I only met her today, but there's just something about her. It's like I knew her in another life or something. And she's not like any of the other girls I've met so far, most of whom have thrown themselves at me. She's totally different, which is a good thing.
I pretended not to notice they'd just walked in and opened my English books. I figured I might as well use this period to catch up on everything I'm behind in. We were actually ahead in most classes in my last school, but not English. Here they are studying completely different books than we did in California. So now, instead of being up to date and even ahead of everyone, I'm actually behind.
Out of the corner of my eye I can see Lilly and Mia putting their books down at some desks. Now they are coming over here.
"Hey, Michael." Lilly said. "This is Mia."
I looked up at Mia and said, "Yeah, um, we already kinda met. Hi again."
Mia smiled quickly and looked back at the ground.
I looked past them at the desks they had just set their stuff down at. That big burly guy who had been with Mia earlier was sitting in the row behind them. He was looking over at her protectively.
"Hey, who's that guy who follows you around?" I asked Mia.
She looked uncomfortable, like she didn't want to have to explain, as if she was going to admit that he was her Sugar Daddy or something. Oh god, I hope not.
She opened her mouth to answer but Lilly beat her to it.
"He's her bodyguard," she informed me. "Mia is the Princess of a small European country called Genovia."
She's the Princess? But she seems so normal, so down to earth. If I thought I had a chance with her before, I've certainly changed my mind now.
Mia's POV
Great, Michael knows I'm a princess now. Lilly took me over to meet him, even though we'd already met, and then she just blurted out that I'm a princess.
Not that I thought I'd had a shot with him before hand or anything. But I definitely don't now.
As soon as Lilly blurted it out, his jaw dropped to the floor.
"You're the Princess?" he asked, using the same tone of voice most people use when they first meet me. Like I'm not princess material or something. Which I'm not, but I hate to think that other people think that when they first meet me too.
"Um, yeah, unfortunately I am." I said. What else was I supposed to say? "Bow down before me,"? I don't think so.
"Sorry for acting so surprised," he said, looking embarrassed. "It's just, I thought you were… normal."
Thanks. Thanks a lot!
"I am normal," I said defensively.
"No, I didn't mean it like that," he said quickly.
Then just what did he mean?
Great, now he thinks I'm a weirdo.
Michael's POV
Smooth moves Moscovitz.
Lilly brings Mia over for a chat and you tell her she's not normal! What kind of a freak am I?
She must think I'm as conceited as Josh and those other guys. Great!
