A/N: Wow! Lots and lots of reviews. I didn't realise I had so many! This website has been so screwy lately. I got the same review around 20 times. It's so stupid. Anyway, sorry this is late, but I have to write a history essay (those of you on the /r/ boards will know this) and it's due in tomorrow. Guess what? I haven't done it yet. I am the worlds biggest procrastinator – seriously.. Well, I'm off to watch 'The OC' (new to this country) and see what all the hype is about. Here's Chapter 11, thank you to all my reviewers! Please keep reviewing; it makes me happy when I get email. Enjoy!

Michael's POV:

Who the hell does he think he is? Making a move on the girl I love! Does he not realize how damaging this is to me? And Lilly! How could Lilly accept this? She knows how I felt – Still feel – about Mia.

Mia.

My dear, sweet Mia.  She now has 3 guys after her, including me. Oh that poor girl. She only accepted Tom's help to get rid of Kenny, but now she has Tom, Kenny and Me in love with her.

Well, I'm assuming Tom loves her. Or at least has a crush on her.

Nobody flirts with someone if they don't like him or her a little bit. It's not normal, and cruel to the person being flirted with. Like I said, no one does that – with the exception of Josh Richter who breaks up with Lana at least twice a week. I honestly don't know why Lana throws away all her 'I love Josh Richter' graffitied binders when they break up. They get back together within the week so she's really just throwing away money.

Eh, you'd think she would realize that by now but no. Stupid preppy cheerleader.

 Stupid Tom for making moves on my Mia.

Stupid Lilly for not stopping Tom making moves on My Mia.

Stupid me for not telling Mia how I feel about her. Damn it.

Well, what girl would pick a geeky guy who has his own webzine over a guy who is funny and pretty nice to hang around with? I guess that's what makes all the girls go for Tom. You feel comfortable around him. He's never actually gone after a girl though.

Why did he have to pick Mia? He knows perfectly well how I feel about her! It's just not like him. More like Lilly actually.

Well, the only way I'll even have a slight chance with Mia, is if I get there first. There's no point telling her I love her if she's dating Tom is there.

So, I'll do it tonight, when Mia sleeps over again. That's one of the benefits of loving your sisters' best friend. She's always round your place.

I think I'm going to be sick I'm that nervous. Wish me luck.

Mia's POV:

Oh my God! According to Lilly, Tom has a crush on me. That can't be right can it?

No. Oh why is my life so difficult? I only accepted Tom's help so I could get rid of Kenny in a nicer way then just telling him, and maybe make Michael jealous and realize his undying love for me. What do I get? Kenny's still going on with the notes even though he's basically seen proof that I'm not interested in him that way, Michael still only sees me as his little sisters' best friend, and now Tom has a crush on me.

Great. Just Great.

Well it looks like I'm going to have to tell Kenny I don't like him in that way. Then I'll only be stuck with 2 guys – one of which I only like as a very good friend. And possibly a boyfriend for Lilly. That's another thing. I was sure he liked Lilly! Maybe he's just trying to make her jealous.

Maybe, when they were in the Den, Tom was actually trying to tell Lilly how much love he has for her, but she wouldn't – no, COULDN'T – believe him so now he's flirting with me to make her jealous.

But wouldn't Lilly see through that?

Oh, there's Kenny now. I need to talk to him now before I bottle out.

^^^^^

"Uh … Hey Kenny? You got a minute?" I asked nervously.

"Huh? Oh, Hey Mia!!" he replied, his eyes lighting up at the sight of me. That's not a good thing is it? "Sure you can. Go ahead!"

Oh, poor Kenny. He seems so happy. Maybe I should just leave it.

No. I have to do this now while I still have the nerve. Besides, I don't think I can stop now without it seeming odd.

"Um … Kenny, the thing is, I know you sent me those notes." I watched his face brighten even more, and then fall.

"Yeah Mia. I'm glad you worked it out … you don't seem too happy though." He looked at me closer. "What's up?"

"Uh … yeah. You see Kenny … the thing is …" I trailed off.

Come on Mia, breath and just do it. Breathe in … and out … In … Out …

"Go on Mia." He had this little hopeful face and he looked just like a little boy; with his fingers crossed behind his back; looking up at his mom; giving her the puppy dog eyes and waiting for her to give him some ice cream. He really is a nice guy. Oh Michael, if only you knew what I do for you.

"Um … err … you see … I … I don't actually like you in that way."  … I feel so horrible.

"You don't?" Oh no, I hope he doesn't start crying.

"No I don't. Don't get me wrong, you're funny, intelligent and really nice but … I only like you as … a friend." I finished lamely.

"Oh. Well I have to … go do stuff for the Computer Club. Bye." He said sadly then walked off.

I've broken Kenny's heart! I am such a nasty girl. Grandmere would be proud. I hope he gets over me quickly though, I mean, I'm not really all that special. I'm a 5"9 princess with cotton bud, pus yellow hair and ski-like feet. Tom and Kenny must be mad!

Well, we'll see what he's like in a week. Maybe if he's still sad, I'll get Tina to set him up with someone. Well, I have a sleepover to get to. I hope Michael will be there … what am I saying? Of course he'll be there!

Score.

*^*^*^*

Lilly's POV:

"I'm sorry Boris, it's just not working out." It had to be said. I can't keep having these thoughts about Tom when I'm still dating Boris. It's unfair on him.

"But Lilly! We were so good together! Is there someone else?" he cried.

"Boris, I can't lie to you. Yes there is someone I have my eye on. His name is Tom. I'm sorry Boris but I think it's time to move on. I still care about you, but I feel you've self-actualised enough to progress in this world by yourself. I'm sure you'll find someone else soon." I said calmly. I AM sorry for hurting his feelings but I can't carry on with this when I am attracted to another man.

So after I said that, I turned around and walked away.

"Lilly! Wait!" he yelled.

"Goodbye Boris."

Now i'm a free girl. I hope Tom feels the same way about me. I wouldn't want to have broken poor Boris' heart for nothing, and I'm sure Boris would want to see me happy. Even if it happens to be in the arms of another man.
