Friday, October 10 Mood: confused Music: Faint – Linkin Park
Today I was leaving Computer Club.
And I ran into Mia, who was coming out of the girls' room.
No, really, I ran into her.
And all her stuff fell out onto the floor. Only it wasn't just books and pens.
Her high tops, socks, and some LIPSTICK were all on the floor. Along with other things. I helped her pick them up. I mean, it's the nice thing to do.
I asked her what was up and she said, "Nothing. Don't tell Lilly."
That is the second time I have been considered untrustworthy by this girl. I was still helping her pick up stuff when she stood up.
She was wearing pantyhose.
And no girl who goes to AEHS wears pantyhose without good reason. No girl at all.
Then I got this feeling that she was going to go out with a guy. Like, magically Josh asked her out, and then she would of course say yes. So I asked her.
And she said she had to meet her grandmother.
And after another question, she just told me again not to tell Lilly, and ran away.
She has to meet her grandmother. Uh huh.
She's doing something. But it's so not like her, to wear pantyhose and lipstick. That's not her.
So I'm not going to tell Lilly.
I'm very trustworthy.
I just have to show her that.
Saturday, October 11 Mood: REALLY confused Music: Lilly fuming
Forget yesterday as being the weirdest thing ever.
Today, I walked in on Lilly and Mia fighting.
And then I stopped right in my tracks and said, "Whoa."
Because Mia had a whole new look.
And because she told Lilly to shut up.
But, I mean, her hair was TOTALLY blonde.
And she had fake fingernails.
She looked nice, but almost a little like Lana.
I don't think I can take this. If she's just trying to look like Lana because she wants Josh to notice her, I don't think I can take that.
She's always been her own person. That's why I like her.
Did I mention I wasn't wearing a shirt? Did I mention she didn't even look at me?
Maybe she just doesn't even want to be friends with us anymore. Josh wouldn't like her to have us as friends.
I just noticed most of my entries are about Mia.
I must sound pretty pathetic. Mia, Mia, Mia. I should just dedicate this journal to her.

I had this conversation with Mia online.
Told you all of my entries are about her.
Anyway, here's the convo. It went better than I hoped.
CracKing: Hey, Thermopolis. What happened to you last night? It's like you went mental or something.
FtLouie: For your information, I did not go mental. I just got tired of your sister always telling me what to do. Not that it's any of your business.
It's never any of my business, is it? No need to be rude, Mia. I'm just trying to un-confuse myself is all.
CracKing: What are you being so snotty about? Of course it's my business. I have to live with her, don't I?
FtLouie: Why? Is she talking about me?
CracKing: You could say that.
FtLouie: What's she saying?
CracKing: I thought it wasn't any of my business.
FtLouie: It isn't. What's she saying about me?
I read that and laughed. It's Mia for sure. Maybe she's not turning into a complete sellout after all.
CracKing: That she doesn't know what's with you these days, but ever since your dad came to visit you've been acting like a head case.
FtLouie: Me? A head case? What about her? She's the one who's always criticizing me. I'm so sick of it!! If she wants to be my friend, why can't she just accept me the way I am???
Maybe she is changing. I'm so confused.
CracKing: You're using excessive amounts of punctuation, and on-line, that's like yelling. Besides, she's not the only one criticizing. She says you won't support her boycott of Ho's Deli.
FtLouie: Well, she's right. I won't. It's stupid. Don't you think it's stupid?
I should probably just move away from the subject of Lilly.
CracKing: Sure it's stupid. Are you still flunking Algebra?
FtLouie: I guess so. But considering the fact that Mr. G slept over last night, I'll probably scrape by with a D. Why? You poor, poor soul.
CracKing: What? Mr. G slept over? At your place? What was that like?
FtLouie: It was pretty awful. But then he kind of joked around, and made it okay. I don't know. I should probably be more mad, but my mom's so happy, it's hard.
CracKing: Your mom could do a lot worse than Mr. G. Imagine if she was going out with Mr. Stuart.
Mr. Stuart feels up all girls who come close enough. Not exactly the best future stepfather for Mia.
FtLouie: Ha ha ha. Why'd you want to know whether or not I'm flunking Algebra?
CracKing: Oh, because I'm done with this month's issue of Crackhead, and I thought if you wanted, I could tutor you during G & T. If you wanted.
Here's me hoping.
FtLouie: Wow, that would be great! Thanks!
And she seems genuinely grateful. Maybe she feels bad that I have to live with Lilly or something.
CracKing: Don't mention it. Hang in there, Thermopolis.
Maybe now she'll think I'm actually nice. Or that I'm only nice to her when she and Lilly fight.
If you didn't read Chapter One – go and read it. This is chapter two. or part 2. whatever. story time!
