A/N: This chapter is a litte short, but it is very important to the story, so bear with me here, and the first part of this chapter is not in diary format.
FYI: I wasn't trying to write like Meg Cabot. I can't do that. So for anyone who is complaining, that's too bad.
Thanks to all those who reviewed. I'm flattered, and it means a lot to me. Rosie, you suck ;P!

Mia put down her journal and looked up at Michael from her place on the floor. "Michael, go to sleep." He sighed.
"I can't."
"Michaellook, don't make this harder than it already is. Just go to sleep." She rolled over. For a minute he watched her form silhouetted in the darkness, as she drifted into sleep.
~God, I'm hopeless~ he thought, and listened to her regular, even breathing.
~Why would she even like a guy like me? She's so innocent and pure. Not like me. I can't even be in the same room as her without wanting her. Stop it Moscovitz! Or you'll really get yourself into trouble.~
He groaned and sat up. He stole a glance at Mia's sleeping form. ~God, she's beautiful.~ He sighed. ~I gotta stop this.~
He climbed out of his bed and went into the bathroom. He turned the sink faucet on full cold and stuck his head under the water.
~Well, I'm freezing and wet, but at least I won't be stupid.~
Michael's Secret Journal
Saturday, June 15, 5:03 A.M.
Well, I got no sleep last night, but at least I wasn't stupid. Well, I was stupid, but at least I didn't do something that I couldn't fix.
Mia stayed over last night, in my room.
My girlfriend spent the night, in MY room. Okay, so she slept on the floor in my old sleeping bag (she insisted), but still, there was a hot girl sleeping in my room last night.
And it was all I could to keep from taking her in my arms and laying her down on my bed. God, I'm so primitive sometimes.
I disgust myself.
The tricky thing is going to be figuring out how to keep Lilly from finding out. And how to get Mia home without being missed. I think that I've got a plan that'll work though.
