Sorry for taking so long to update but this chapter is much longer than the other chapter and it is hard to keep the book up to copy it. Thank you all so much for reviewing my story. I LOVE you all (Not really but I'm very thankful). And to those of you that didn't review I can forgive you... someday. It'll just take some time. And if you want me to update then I will need to get at least 5 reviews, sorry, but I need to feel like I'm writing for someone besides myself (not that that's not fun). Anyway please read on.
Ch. 2 The fight
2:56am Sunday, September 28, home
Today was another boring day. I mean, yesterday was another boring day. Lily and Mia were gone all day, shooting an episode for Lilly's public access show Lilly tells it like it is.
At like 2:00 I went to Number one noodle Son with Felix, and you'll never guess who we saw there. Lauren. But Lauren wasn't alone, oh no she was on a date. With some guy that's in our French class. But don't think I'm jealous, because I'm totally not. I only think of Lauren as a friend, but you should have seen Felix.
He dragged me over there and acted like he didn't mean to break up the date, and then practically invited himself to sit with them. I had no choice, but to go with him, and I try to stop him from acting like a total idiot, but even I (who is supposedly this genius) couldn't stop him. He was a jerk to Derrick, (yea I think that's his name) and kept embarrassing Lauren.
Finally, after what seemed like forever Derrick told Lauren he had to go. And Felix had this look of triumph on his face.
But it completely vanished when Derrick leaned in and gave Lauren a french kiss. Which I totally DID NOT need to see by the way, because I think of Lauren as a sister that I actually get along with.
Anyway after Derrick left Lauren and Felix got in this huge fight and Lauren stormed out. So now my two best friends are fighting. And after Lauren left Felix was all "What's her problem." Oh god I hate my life.
G&T Monday, September 29
Well, Lauren and Felix are still not talking to each other, which is really annoying because they are both using me to transfer messages to each other.
"Michael, will you please tell your friend, that I totally did not appreciate him ruining my date with Derrick."
"Michael, will you please mention to Lauren that I wasn't trying to ruin the date, but I simply wanted to talk, and that if we were supposedly as good of friends as she is making us out to be then she should have told us about the date."
"Oh, will you please just let that go! You never told Michael and me about Maria, Alice, Julie, Lana, Marie, Claire, Judith, or any other of those blonde bimbo's that you dated!"
"One, Judith Gersher was not blond, and neither was Maria she's from Mexico. Two, I mentioned that I was going out with each and every one of those girls before we actually went out. Three, it's none of your business who I go out with anyway!"
"Saying, I'm sorry guys, I can't go with you because I have a family emergency, is not telling us shit, and you are the one who ruined my date in the first place!!!!"
"You're just never gonna let that go are you?"
After that Lauren stormed out of the cafeteria and I was left with Felix, again. Funny how this keeps happening isn' it? I wonder if Mia ever has this trouble with Lilly?
French Tuesday, September 30
Well, they still haven't forgiven each other, and Lauren has been telling me all these things about Felix all day.
Luckily, today we don't have to stay with our partners so I am sitting with Paul, this really tall guy, while Lauren is partnered with Derrick.
I can tell that she is still talking about Felix from here. And she says I'm obsessed.
G&T Wednesday, October 1
I had to deal with another day with Lauren and Felix fighting. And I think Lauren and Derrick broke up, because today in French, she kept shooting him dirty looks (We had to stay with our partners today).
Mrs. Hill is in here today because they're shampooing the carpet in the teachers lounge so Mia and Lilly are passing notes. I wish I knew what it said.
Oh shit, I just say Boris's name on the paper. BORIS PELKOWSKI! Maybe Mia has a thing for musical geniuses.
I taught myself how to play guitar. I'm even writing a song. It's called Tall Drink of Water.
It's about a very tall pretty girl, and this guy who is in love with her but doesn't want to tell her. Hmm, sounds familiar doesn't it?
I am so pathetic.
Homeroom Friday, October 3
Mia looks really sick today. Like she swallowed a sock.
I heard Lilly say that to Mia once. I think it's because of this one time, when Mia's cat, Fat Louie swallowed a sock and he had this weird look on his face.
Anyway Lauren and Felix aren't fighting anymore, anyway that's what Lauren keeps saying. They are talking to each other, but not very nicely.
Just a few brief words now and then. But at least They aren't yelling. Right?
9:46 pm Friday, October 3
Mia is spending the night. And Lauren just instant massaged me. Here's our conversation.
HolaAmigo2600: Hey!
CracKing: What?
HolaAmigo2600: Jesus, sorry to disturb you.
CracKing: Sorry. Have you and Felix made up yet?
HolaAmigo2600: Yes, remember we made up yesterday.
CracKing: You guys did not make up. You only said that to make me shut up.
HolaAmigo2600: We did to make up, and we have both promised to stop butting into each others lives.
CracKing: Yea, whatever you say.
HolaAmigo2600: Look, I'm bored want to go to Number One Noodle Son?
CracKing: Sorry, I can't, something very important is going on over here.
That was not a total and complete lie, something important was going on here. Lilly and Mia are in the next room, and I had been planning on walking in there shirtless, and maybe pretending to be interested in watching what they were watching. I can hear the tv from here.
HolaAmigo2600: What?
I guess I took too long to answer because Lauren said next
HolaAmigo2600: Ohhh. I get it, is Mia there? You should go talk to her, here's your chance. Go.
CracKing: Mia isn't here, what would give you that idea?
HolaAmigo2600: Oh come on Michael, you never were a good liar even online. Go, just make conversation.
CracKing: Lilly and Mia are watching a movie, I don't want to disturb them.
HolaAmigo2600:Michael, just pretend you need something, and then stay in, pretend you like the movie. That's all I'm asking.
CracKing: No thanks.
HolaAmigo2600: GO!
CracKing: Fine. Fine. I'll instant message you when I'm back.
HolaAmigo2600: Okay. I'll be here.
Okay, fine I lied, I'm not going to talk to her. No, instead I'm going to stay in my room, and answer my fan mail. I get a lot of perverted one's.
3:32 am Saturday morning, October 4
I am so glad that I listened to Lauren. I am eternally grateful.
I didn't listen to her right away. I answered some of my fanmail and then my computer froze so I had to reset it.
Anyway, while I had it turned off the phone rang and I thought it was Lauren calling to ask why I had signed off but it wasn't it was Mr. Renaldo. Mia's dad. I had never spoken to him before and only knew a little about him because Mia seldom talks about him.
Me: Hello? Moscovitz residence?
Mia's dad: Hello is Mia Thermopolis there? I need to speak to her.
Me: Ummm.... Yea, Mia's here. Who is this?
Mia's Dad: Mia's father. Please let me speak with her, I've been trying to get through for hours, but the phone line was busy so..
Me (Kinda guiltily): Yea I'll get Mia right now.
So I went and found Lilly and Mia in mom and dad's bed with a huge vat of popcorn laughing.
"Mia your dad's on the phone."
She looked ready to throw up so I told her, "Okay, don't worry about it, Thermopolis. I'll tell him you and Lilly already went to bed"
So I went out, and told her dad this and expected him not to buy it, but he did, and apologized for calling so late, (it was like eleven) and said he would speak to Mia in the morning.
Anyway, I went and told Mia the good news, but she still looked about ready to throw up so I called Pavlov, and told him to get in bed with them. Then Pavlov started licking Mia's face (Man that dog is lucky), and I was about to leave when I remembered what Lauren had wrote, so I took a chance, and sat down to watch the movie with them.
To my immense surprise Lilly didn't object, but in fact asked me this question. "Michael, who do you find more attractive, the blondes James Bond always needs to save, or the brunettes who are always pulling the gun on him?"
I told them both that I couldn't resist a woman with a weapon, (which is true I mean my two favorite shows are Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Xena: Warrior Princess) which is maybe the reason why Mia asked me next, if I had to choose one life mate to repopulate the world, who would it be Xena or Buffy.
First, I told Mia how weird she was for thinking up something like that, and then told her Buffy.
Then that got us started on asking each other that question over and over again only with different people.
Lilly asked Mia if she would choose George Clooney or Harrison Ford, and Mia choose Harrison Ford, even though he's kind of old. But even so the Harrison Ford from Indiana Jones not Star Wars. And Lilly said Harrison Ford from those Tom Clancy movies, which I haven't seen yet.
Then I asked more Mia than Lilly, if they had to choose, who would it be Leonardo DiCaprio or Harrison Ford, and they both choose Harrison because apparently Leonardo is so Passe.
Then I went Harrison Ford or Josh Ritcher. Lilly choose Harrison Ford for some weird reason that I can't remember, because Mia said Josh Ritcher, she said because Josh was younger and he would live longest, and she would need help with the kids, but I knew it was because she is in love with him. Which means I totally don't have a chance. Right?
Well, I got really jealous and started saying all this stuff a bout Josh. Like he would show cowardice in the face of a nuclear Armageddon (which is so true it's not even funny).
But Lilly said that "fear of new things is not an accurate measure of one's potential for growth," (which I saw on a pamphlet on mom's desk in her office last week) and I said that Mia and Lilly were both idiots, if they thought Josh would ever notice them, because Josh only dated girls who put out (Lana Weinberger is a perfect example). Then Lilly said she would put out for Josh only if he would bath in antibacterial solution beforehand, and wear three condoms coated in spermicidal fluid during the act, in case one slipped and broke off. To which I have to say, thanks a lot Lilly, thanks a whole lot, I am now thinking about Josh Ritcher and my baby sister having sex. That is so disturbing.
Then I asked Mia if I would put out for Josh, and she had to think. Then she made this list.
1. We'd been dating for at least a year
2. He'd pledged his undying love to me.
3. He took me to see Beauty and the Beast and didn't make fun of it.
I thought the first two were alright. but if Mia were to get a boyfriend who could do the third thing on the list (I definitely couldn't no matter how much I love Mia) then she would be a virgin for a long time. The only men who could see that show without projectile vomiting didn't have an ounce of testosterone.
Then Lilly asked me Lana Weinberger or Mia, and I chose Mia kind of quickly, but I don't think they noticed. Then Lilly asked Madonna or Mia, and I chose Mia again kind of quickly, and I noticed Lilly smiling, so I chose Buffy over Mia so they wouldn't get too suspicious.
And then Lilly asked Mia Josh Ritcher or me, and I expected Mia to say Josh Ritcher right away but she didn't she looked like she was really thinking it over, but before she could answer mom and dad came in and started yelling at us for having Pavlov in their bed and getting popcorn all over. Then Mia and Lilly went back to Lilly's room and I would bet anything that Lilly asked Mia who she would choose again. And maybe Mia said me. Hey, a guy can dream can't he? Even if it is about his little sisters best friend.
