Mia's POV...
Today is Monday, which means it is the beginning of another week of dull classes.
Alex left yesterday afternoon. He said he probably won't be able to come down for a few weeks, because it's the start of the school year and all.
Last night I had dinner back home, at the Loft. It was the third time I'd been back, but it still felt weird being there as a 'guest', mom wouldn't even let me help with the dishes.
And of course, as soon as it was time to leave, she started to cry again, which made me cry too. I swear, I am never going to get the hang of not living at home if this keeps happening. What is she going to be like when I move to Genovia?
The rest of Saturday night was fun. The band came on after about five minutes, and they played quite a few more covers, but none of them were played with as much passion as Michael had put into 'Creep'. It was as if he'd lost his focus.
Right before they came back on stage, Holly came running out of the backstage area practically in tears. She grabbed her things and just left. I bet Michael told her the song hadn't been sung about her and it upset her.
* * *
After class I ran into Michael again, he asked me if I wanted to go grab a cup of coffee again.
He seems troubled still. He probably just needs to vent about something.
We sat down in the same table as last week and he just stared out the window.
"Michael?" I asked softly. "What's wrong?"
"Huh?" he looked up at me.
"Is there something wrong? You look troubled. Does it have something to do with Holly?"
"Oh. Um, well, I broke up with her on Saturday night." He didn't seem too upset by it, so that couldn't be what was troubling him.
"Oh, really? Why?"
"It just wasn't right. I didn't feel that way about her, so it was unfair to drag her along."
"I see, so that song on Saturday night, that song wasn't about her?" I was fairly sure it wasn't, but I wanted to know who it was about anyway.
"What song?"
"Creep."
"Oh, no. It wasn't about her at all. Despite what she thought at the time."
"So who was it about?" I dug deeper, I really wanted to know.
"No one. It wasn't about anyone." He looked out the window again.
"Ok, fine. I believe you." I paused for a few seconds. "Was it about Judith Gershner?" I couldn't help it.
"Judith? No way! Where did you get an idea like that from? It's not about anyone, Felix was just being an idiot when he said it was about someone. It's just a good song."
Oh, right. Sure it wasn't about someone! He was totally covering up. But it didn't look like he was going to give up his information. At least not today anyway.
"Yeah," I agreed. "It is a good song. Alex said the sweetest thing about it, he said that that song is how he feels about me. Isn't that just the sweetest?"
Michael tore his eyes from the window and looked at me for a minute, "Yeah, that's real sweet. I have to go. I'll see you later."
Then he just stood up and left. He didn't even finish his coffee.
Huh, I wonder what all that was about.
* * *
"Hi, Lill!" I called down the phone.
"Mia! It's so good to hear from you, I'm going insane here."
"Why?"
"Oh, just school. It's so different from High School. And no one supports my causes! I was trying to rally support for no smoking areas to be put up, because I'm sick of breathing second hand smoke, and no one wanted to support it! Not that they didn't agree with it, but they just didn't want to be bothered!"
Typical Lilly, she was always trying to garner support for one thing or another, usually it was only her friends who stood behind her; so she must be having a really hard time without everyone.
"So what's up with you?" she asked.
"Um, not much. I miss Alex though..."
"Yeah? Well how's my doofus brother?"
"Michael? He's fine."
"Have you met his girlfriend? The nutcase?"
"Holly, yeah, she is a bit of a stalker. How do you know her?"
"She called me last week. To ask me about Michael. And you."
"And me? What do you mean she asked about me? What do I have to do with anything?"
"Oh I don't know... she has this absurd idea that there's something going on between you too."
"What? That is crazy! She's so jealous, she views everyone as competition."
"Yeah... Well I straightened her out."
"What do you mean? You told her there was nothing between me and Michael right? Right?"
"Uh, sure. Listen I'd better go."
"No, wait, Lilly. What did you say exactly?" I said, but I was talking to the dial tone, Lilly had hung up.
What was that about? And what did she say to Holly about me? Not that it really matters I guess, they've broken up anyway.

Just a quick question to anyone that's reading this, is this story better than my last one, "Home Sweet California" or not? I'm just curious to know what you guys think...
