A/N: ooooh. Michael's POV. ... I hope you guys don't dislike Mandella too much. I promise she's not evil!!! And you can't blame her now can you?!
========================================================= =========================================================
NOVEMBER 10
I was pretty upset the other day when Mia said we weren't friends. I would understand that she doesn't consider me to be a close friend or anything like that at all. But I assumed that at least she would consider me to be a friend. Not some one she's just milking for help. And I don't pity her. At all. I love her.
And she hasn't even apologized yet. But I'm sure that she realizes what she said is distressing me.
Mandella came over earlier to work on lines. The whole time she was here Lilly would do nothing but look at Mandella like she couldn't be trusted. Lilly is Lilly, so I'm not going to worry too much about it.
However Mandella did ask if I'd like to go see a movie with her sometime. Maybe Lilly knew. She can be pretty scary sometimes, except she's never cared about my love life before.
I talked to Mandella about it. She's been here about a week, and other than Mia, she's the only girl I've ever really felt connected to. Mandella is low maintenance, which is great because it means I don't have to talk to her every time I see her in the hallway. Or when I joke I don't have to worry about offending her. She and I get along really well and she as this ability always be light-hearted, but not to an annoying extant. She just knows how to make people feel better. Which with the whole Mia thing is helping me out a lot.
I told her that I loved someone else, and I didn't feel like I would be fair to her if I went out with her.
She giggled and promptly said, "Mia."
I was confused so I asked her to repeat what she said. She ensued to tell me about how obvious my affection for Mia was. Even when I wasn't talking to her. The last couple days Mandella told me she had been watching me, and she became more and more sure of it.
She admitted she liked me, but really wanted to see if I would be true to Mia. Her next surprise for me was the promise that she would help me win Mia's love.
If Mandella found it so obvious, than why hadn't Mia seen it? Oh god, what if she had, and that's why she said what she did.
I still hadn't told her very much about my feelings for Mia, but I just found myself spilling it all to her.
The first thing she told me to do was start talking to Mia again. Offer to help with Algebra, I can't think of anything else to do. So, come Monday that's what I'll do.
==================
(Mandella POV)
*sigh* It's really too bad that Michael is already in love with someone else. But I respect that. He's a good guy. So I told him I'd help him win Mia's love.
But I didn't mention that he wouldn't have to try very had. It's plain to see that he thinks so little of himself that he's missing the fact that she already loves him too.
I have to talk to Lilly... once I get past the glaring thing. She can be pretty intimidating when she wants too. I don't know what her problem is...
And if what Michael says about Mia's personality is correct, I'm going to have to do something about this Kenny Showalter kid. She obviously doesn't like him. Although, no one else seems to realize why she won't let him kiss her.
But I have to admit I'm curious why she hasn't dumped him by now. Maybe he's blackmailing her or something? Well whatever. No one else seems to notice she doesn't really want to be around him.
Am I just noticing things because I'm new? Or are people really this blind?
As Shakespeare said, "So dear I love him, all deaths I could endure. Without him, live no life."
