Yay! Keep up the reviews and I'll keep up updating people! It's a two way
street. : )
And just a reminder, like I said a few chapters ago, I've toned down the stuff that happened in the books because I didn't want to be repeating everything that you already know, so that's why I've skimmed over stuff like the modelling pictures.

Mia's POV
My English and Algebra Finals are over. Phew. And I think I did ok in Algebra. I mean, I don't think I would have gotten an A or anything, but I don't think I failed.
Only three Finals to go!
People are still taunting me about the whole modelling thing. Especially Lana. Why can't she just get a life and stop interfering in mine? I mean, really! Sheesh.
Lilly was acting really weird this morning. I bet it has something to do with her brother. I bet she knows who his mystery girl is, but she doesn't want to tell me because she knows that I like him! Ah! I certainly hope not! I'd die if Lilly ever found out about how I feel about Michael.
No, that can't be it. My life has enough problems in it right now, without adding romantic problems, or lack thereof.
Michael's POV
I hate Finals. It's not because I don't do well under pressure or anything, it's just that I hate the atmosphere it brings.
Teachers for one, are all, "Be positive and it will bring positive results!" Students are more like either, "I don't care, I'm going to fail anyway," or, "Oh my God, aargh! Stress, stress, stress!"
It's an absolute nightmare, I tell you.
People here are so much tenser than back in California. It must be the smog.
Mia had her Algebra Final today, I hope it went ok, I might ask her about it later. If I work up the courage.
God, I'm so pathetic, I can't even ask the girl I'm tutoring how she went in her Final without freaking out. I'm just going to do it. I'll just ask her.
And maybe, I'll ask her to the dance too. Lilly is right, she should get to go, even if it isn't with her perfect dream-date Prince. Hmm, I'll have to think about it.
Mia's POV
I'm trying to study for my Finals tomorrow, but Tina just IM'ed me.
ILuvRomance: Hey, Mia, who are you going to the dance with?
Great. I knew my not having a date was not going to go undetected.
FtLouie: Um, no one. I don't think I want to go actually.
ILuvRomance: Liar. You want to go. Admit it. And you can't not go. You have to.
FtLouie: Why? Why can't I just stay home?
ILuvRomance: Because. because you just have to. It won't be the same without you.
FtLouie: I can't go by myself, Tina. I've already embarrassed myself enough this week, thanks.
ILuvRomance: I know! Why don't you go with Michael! Lilly said he didn't have a date.
Michael doesn't have a date! But he wouldn't want to go with a freshman, especially not me anyway. Ha! I wish!
FtLouie: Yeah, I don't think so.
ILuvRomance: Why not? Just ask him!
FtLouie: I will do no such thing. I'd rather just not go.
ILuvRomance: Oh, Mia, you're such a spoilsport.
Someone with a screen name I didn't recognise interrupted us:
CracKing: Hey, Thermopolis.
CracKing? Who do I know with the screen name CracKing? And who calls me Thermopolis?
I didn't want to be rude, so I decided on a neutral response.
FtLouie: Hey.
Then I returned to Tina.
FtLouie: Hey, do you know anyone with the screen name CracKing?
ILuvRomance: Don't change the subject, Mia.
FtLouie: I'm not. Whoever it is just IM'ed me and I don't know who it is. Do you know?
Whoever it is, they just replied.
CracKing: What are you doing?
FtLouie: Um, talking to Tina and trying to study for my finals tomorrow.
Who is this? I really have no idea. I don't think Tina knows either.
ILuvRomance: Oh, I don't know. But whoever it is, ask them if they have a date to the dance!
FtLouie: Haha, I'll let you know who it is when I find out. Bye.
Back to CracKing.
CracKing: How did your Final for Algebra go?
FtLouie: Oh, um, I think I did ok.
CracKing: Good, I'm glad my help helped.
Help? The only people who have helped me in Algebra is Mr. G and. Michael! Is this Michael?
My heart skipped a beat. Why is Michael chatting to me? Aargh! What should I do?
FtLouie: Michael?
I felt stupid asking, and I didn't want to be rude, but I had to know.
Michael's POV
I'm such an idiot. I finally work up the courage to ask Mia about her Final (over the Internet no less), and I don't even tell her who I am! Of course she didn't recognise my screen name! I stole hers from Lilly's buddy list.
What a fool I am.
I contemplated signing off, but that would just be rude.
CracKing: Yeah, sorry, I forgot I hadn't told you who I was.
FtLouie: That's ok, I was just worried for a second. I didn't know who you were.
CracKing: How's Tina?
I didn't know what else to say! I didn't want to bring up the whole modelling thing, because I get the feeling she wouldn't have believed me if I told her I thought she looked great, which she did! And I didn't want to stop talking to her. So I didn't know what else to say.
FtLouie: She's fine. She's just hassling me about going to the dance.
So she still doesn't have a date. Hmm, should I make a move?
CracKing: You don't want to go? Why not?
FtLouie: Well, it's not so much that I don't want to go, I just don't think I will.
What did that mean? Does it mean if I asked her to go she would say no? Should I ask?
CracKing: Well if you don't go you'll upset your date.
I just thought I'd subtly push the date part, so maybe I could work in my asking her.
FtLouie: Oh, um, that's not going to be a problem. Look, I have to go. I have heaps of study to do. I'll talk to you later. Bye.
FtLouie has signed out
What??? She signed off just as I was working up the guts to ask her! Damn.
Maybe she knew what I was getting at and wanted to avoid the whole situation where she says no and breaks my heart.
Fine, I guess I'll just stay home on Friday night like usual then.
Mia's POV
Oh my God, CracKing was Michael!
Michael actually IM'ed me! Aargh! And what did I do? I freaked out about having to admit about not having a date, and signed off!
What kind of a loser am I? I know he would have figured out that I don't have a date himself. Great, I bet he thinks I'm such a freak!
