[Righto, chappie numero 2 is here! *cheers* thanks for the reviews! Much appreciated! They also help to get more of the story up quicker, as they help to drag me away from my revision (not that it takes a lot to get me away from my revision, but hey!) Hope you enjoy, and let me know what you think!]
The rest of the week was spent with me slumping around Lilly's apartment by day and going out for an hour or two in the evening to catch a movie or something. However on our Thursday excursion to the screening room to see dirty dancing (my all time favourite movie) Lilly broke some devastating news to me.
'Look Mia, tomorrow, I'm going out with some people from college, and I was thinking maybe you should……' she began.
'O, Lilly, that'll be so cool! I'd love to meet your friends! Anyone I know?'
'No!' Lilly said a little too quickly. 'I mean, no there isn't any one you know. What I was going to say was that maybe it would be better if you just stayed in tomorrow. You know, you wouldn't to be…to be recognised or anything, would you?' She was right of course. I was pretty sure that she was trying to hide something from me though. But I was too upset about not being able to go out again the next evening I didn't mention it. This just goes to show how truly bored I was stuck at Lilly's all day. Even so, it was a definite improvement from being dragged from one public function to another in Genovia, but still.
The next day I formulated my plan. The might before as we were making our way back to the apartment I asked Lilly casually where she was going, and how long she thought she was going to be. She said she was just going round to one of her college friends' apartments to hangout, and tat she'd probably be there most of the evening. So I just planned to wait until she left, and then go out myself, making sure I was back well within the available time.
So at quarter past eight that evening I waved Lilly off from the comfort of my own 'bed', while watching yet another Lifetime movie (how have I lived for so long without these things, they are pure gold!) and assuring her that I would stay put. I made sure to find a cunning way cover my nostrils at that point.
As soon as she was safely out of the building I leapt out of bed and got dressed again in record time! I quickly combed my hair (which I had dyed back to my original highly attractive dishwasher blonde colour) and sprinted out of the apartment, congratulating myself on my clever plan and trying to figure out what to do with my new found freedom.
I wondered the streets for a while, before deciding on a small pancake house which I had hung out at a lot while I had lived here before going to Genovia. It was pretty full, but I managed to get a table by the window, which gave me a good view of the people walking past on the street outside, and those coming and going from the club across the road.
Having devoured my huge stack of pancakes I checked my watch. 10:35 already. I hurriedly asked for the bill and was just waiting for the waitress to bring it back when a couple entered the round the clock pancake house. The girl looked vaguely familiar, possibly from school, I wasn't sure, but the guy, the guy who followed her in I recognised straight away as….
'MICHAEL!' I cried as I leapt out of my seat. I don't even know why I did it. Because as soon as I had, I knew. Lilly was soooo going to hear about this……
[Wow, she saw Michael again! But what will happen now? Does he recognise her? Oo the possibilities! Anyways, tell what you think and I will send you money :o) Possibly. If they are nice reviews……]
