Mia's POV
May 2nd. The Loft When I called Lilly to tell her that I could go, she's all, "yesss! Now I won't have to listen to Michael go on and on about his Crackhead webzine!" I personally could listen to Michael talk all day! I heard him in the background yelling at Lilly.
"hey, Lil, get off the phone! I need to work on my webzine!"
"you hog the phone lines most of the time anyway, Michael! I should be able to peacefully converse with my friends for more than a New York minute!"
"it's ok, I have to go anyway. Mom's cheating on her diet again." So I got off the phone and waited five minutes before I got online. Michael was on! I IMed him.
FtLouie – hey, what's up?
CracKing – not much, what about you, Thermopolis? FtLouie – I'm looking forward to Maine! Where exactly in Maine are we going? Two weeks, right? CracKing – yup. Lilly won't shut up about it. I'm looking forward to it, too, Thermopolis. Could he mean what I think he means?!? FtLouie – well, I've gotta get offline. Mom's yelling. CracKing – see you in G&T tomorrow. Bye FtLouie – bye. HE'S LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING WITH ME!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it!!!! MICHAEL MOSCOVITZ MIGHT LOVE ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michael's POV
Mia's coming with us to Maine! I can't believe my good luck. Two weeks, in the woods, alone with Mia and her Grandmere not hanging over her, no Lana to make her upset...who am I kidding?!? Why would a girl as great as Princess Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldo like me, Michael Moscovitz? Even her NAME sounds more important. I guess it's hopeless. She could never like me. I'm just her best friend's big brother. You'd think she'd notice I like her, though. I walk around shirtless, I get any excuse to touch her, I help her with her homework, and even though I can drive, I ride the limo with her and Lilly to school.
I wonder if Mia writes about me in her diary. She's always scratching in that thing. I'll walk by and be all, "hi, Mia."
She'll barely look up and say, "oh, hi, Michael."
Mia, lilly, and I were hanging out in G&T and Mia walks up to me and says, "can I have some help on the FOIL method? I think I'm beginning to get it, but I need practice."
"Sure," I said.
It breaks my heart the way Lana and her cronies are always teasing Mia. She doesn't deserve that. Just yesterday, I watched her go into Algebra (after she let me walk her there!) and as she walked to her seat, Lana stuck out her foot and tripped her. That girl always seems like she has to do SOMETHING to get in good with the popular kids. Whether it's smoking (I saw her smoking once, and I could tell plain as day she hated it) or teasing girls like Mia. It's disgusting.
Mom, dad, and lilly are starting to complain. They're saying that my being on the computer all of the time ties up the phone lines too much. Mom wanted to put another line in, but to do that, we'd have to have another area code, and mom put her foot down at having two area codes in the same apartment.
Our band is coming along great! Flypaper is going to have a HUGE gig shortly. Mia was excited when I told her in G&T yesterday. She said she might come.... I'm getting carried away. I'll probably screw up with her watching me.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR MAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lilly's POV
Michael disgusts me. He WILL NOT shut up about Mia coming to Maine. And he thinks that I do not know! It's pathetic, really. I can tell Mia likes him too. Every time he gets in the limo to go to school, she gets all starry- eyed and spacey. I guess it's comprehensible that I would not see how Mia can love my older brother, but I'm going to have to get used to it. Although, I just might have to do something on this vacation......
Lana's POV
I feel terrible. I just don't understand why I have to pick on Mia so much. She's really a great girl. I'd love to get to know her, but all of my friends think she's drippy. I need to be popular. My mother would be so disappointed in me. She was prom queen her senior year, and she's determined for me to have the same. It's quite tiring, really. Why can't I have a normal mother who worries about your grades instead of how you look and how popular you are? I wish I could just be who I want to be instead of who my mother wants me to be.
