Mia's POV
May 1st 2004
The loft
It's my birthday today! I just turned sixteen. Mom threw me a HUGE party! All of me friends were there and I got a lot of stuff! MICHAEL WAS THERE!!!!! Let's see, I got Chanel clothes from Grandmere (no surprise there), Guide to Algebra from Mr. Gianini (I have GOT to start calling him Frank.), a bunch of cat toys from Mom (yeah, I see how it is; get something for the CAT on my birthday! No, kidding), a rose from Michael (does he know the secret language of flowers??? RED MEANS LOVE!!!!), a set of romance books from Tina Hakim Baba, and a book of baby names from Lilly. It was a great day. I woke up expecting to see a transformation now that I'm sixteen, but it was all the same. Grandmere wants to throw a ball for my birthday, and secretly, I think it'll be fun if I can bring Michael. I can't tell Lilly, though because she's say I've turned into a head case. I'll have to ask Grandmere if we can have it in the Plaza, because that's one way that Lilly would like it. She's always had a fascination with the Plaza, even though she won't admit it. I can't believe it! Lilly asked me if I wanted to go with her and her family on their camping trip for two weeks!!!! OMG! That's two weeks without Grandmere, mom and Mr. Gianini sucking face, and TWO WEEKS ALONE WITH MICHAEL!!!!! Well, sort of. Her family will be there, but we'll be in the middle of nowhere! Please, mom, say yes! We're going to be going to Maine, and that'll be several hours in a car CLOSE TO MICHAEL!!!! I usually don't like long car trips, but I think I'll like this one!
Mom's going to have her baby soon. She's as big as a whale. As moms go, though, she's totally hot. Even pregnant. I hope I have a little sister. A sister who isn't as tall as the Empire State Building and has normal body parts and feet smaller than Bigfoot would be even better.
I just asked mom if I could go to Maine. She said she'd think about it and what if she has her baby while I'm gone? I reminded her that we'd only be gone for two weeks at the beginning of June. That's a month away. Mom's not due for two and a half months. I caught her eating a pint of ice cream watching Baywatch. How many times have I told her that all of those fatty foods are bad for the developing fetus inside of her? She refuses to listen. I think I'm going to have to go through the fridge and give all of the bad stuff to Ronnie, my next-door neighbor who used to be a guy but is now a girl. She gets mad when I do that, but she doesn't realize it is for her own good. And the baby's of course. I don't want my baby brother or sister to be deformed because my mother wants to devour Hagan Daaz ice cream. After I told her about all this she's all, "ok, Mia, you can go. It's going to be very restful without you around to monitor my food intake." Oh, god, what if she totally skimps on her diet and my baby brother or sister ends up deformed? I'd feel totally guilty.
I just called Lilly and told her that I can go. She freaked. And I think I heard Michael freaking in the background. MICHAEL FREAKING BECAUSE I CAN GO WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
