ok, here it is! Chapter 2! I started writing it while waiting to be able to put up the first part. Tell me how you like it! And i'll write in part 3! Oh, and I do not own any Princess Diaries Charectes. Those all belong to meg Cabot. And due to some of the reviews, I had gotton a few questons (Thanks for pointing these out to me! Really helps!). Sorry, I forgot that she wore only combat boots. HAHA! Its been awhile since i've read the books. And it does take place in October(Obviously) while she is still a Freshmen at AEHS and Michael is a senior. Oh an one more quick thing, my computer oddly doesn't have spell check, so if there is a mistake I am sorry sorry sorry!
"Mia? Mia! Hello! Earth to Mia! Come in! Are you alright? You were quiet the whole trip....." Lillys words echoed threw my ear as everyone got out of the car. I was completly outta it. Judy and Michael flirting kinda hit me hard. Lynn and Brian were walking into the Dennys holding hands, Boris was holding the door open and Judy was walking in, very mannish I might add. Michael just followed behind her, his hands tucked into the pockets of his khakis. He looked so cute. So scruffy. My gaze stayed with him, until he was out of sight. I slowly looked to Lilly.
"Uh...yeah I'm fine. Just kind of tired, and hungry, ya know?" I shrugged. So much for dressing up today. Looks to me as if it may have been a waist of time. I could have came in footie pajamas, glasses and my hair a big frizzy mess and more then likely, he still wouldn't see me any different as usual.
"Oh good. Casue Michael invited a friend from Computer Club for you, that way you don't seem to alone!" Lilly began to laugh hysterically, walking into Dennys with Boris.
I just stood, froze, terrified. A blind date? Me? While everyone was having fun with the loves of their lives, I was stuck with a guy I didn't even know! Great, I wonder what kind of dork he could be. I just rolled my eyes, following in right after her.
To my surprise, there was a slight wait. People were crowding in, sitting on benches, and some arguing with waitresses that they were hungary. I ignored it tho, my mind was still focused on that one person. Brian and Lynn were up front, telling them they needed a booth for eight. Lilly and Boris gazing into the crane machine with Judy right at the side glass. But where did Michael go?
"You look really good tonight Mia." I heard Michael whisper into my ear. I thought he was joking, making it more like, 'You look like shit, don't wear any makeup please! It doesn't help!'. But as I slowly turned to look at him, letting my gaze drift up his body before meeting his beautiful chocolate colored hughs, he winked to me. And not a joking wink. A wink that said 'I want you Princess'.
I let out a small laugh to show my appreciation, tucking the long stray strand of my hair back behind my ear. I could feel my cheeks turning pink. "Thanks Michael." And I nodded, turning away. Thats all I could do. Nodd, and turn. Hopefully he woudln't take that bad.
I couldn't help but let those famous words run threw my head. 'You look good.' Michael Moscovits just complimented me! On how I looked!
I completely forgot abought my date. Who cared who it was, Michael had made my day.
We had to wait a good 20 mins until we were finally seated. We sat at one of those booths in the corner that curved all the way around. I love those!
"So, You guys excited abought the big Halloween dance?" Brian smiled, taking a sip of his root beer. Brian was an attractive guy, like Michael. Shaggy blonde hair the curled out just above his eyes. The rest just a nice shag in the back. He had eyes like the sky. A cloudy sky. Blue, mixed with some gray. His lips were a little on the thin side tho, and unlike Michael, he was not in the computer club.
"I can't wait! I've had my costume picked out for ages!" Lynn was beautiful too. The kind of girl you wondered why she was hanging out with us losers. Long brownish red hair, curling inwards at her shoulder. Swept bangs that shined in the light, like a movie stars. Her eyes were thin, which gave her that natural sexy look. I can never tell what color they are. Green maybe?
"Lilly, I was thinking we could dress as a couple for Halloween. Like, I could dress as John Sebastian Bach, and you can dress as his wife, Maria Barbara Bach. What do you think?" My gaze turned to Boris. Poor, poor sweater tucking, retainer wearing Boris. Him and Lilly really were a mystery. Why did she like him? He was into his music, and she had a passion for politics. Most of all, why did she french him?
"Not now Boris! Can't you see I'm trying to figure out what to eat! And if we go as anyone together, it will be George and Barbara bush!" Oh Lilly, my best friend since kindergarten. We were truly opposite and yet, such a perfect match of best friends. I really admired her ambition and determination. She knew how to get it her way. At home, at school and with her friends.
"Hey Mia, are you going to go to the dance?" And then there was Michael. Oh sweet Michael! I wanted him so bad right now! More then anyone could know, or ever shall know! His shaggy dark hair, just barely covering up his beautiful eyes. His smile....I never really looked at it before. His pink tiers tugged at the corners of his mouth, forming a friendly smile, and showing of his perfect pearly white teeth. My mind went blank when I saw that. I was discovering something new abought him ever minuet.
"Well I....." I began to stutter out, but unfortunately, I was interrupted, again.
"Mia?"
I felt my body stiffen. I know that voice. Id know that voice if it slapped me in the face from 20 miles away. Please please please don't let that be my blind date!
"Kenny!" Michael stood up from his seat, holding out his arms. "So glad you could come! We were just abought to order to!"
Oh gawd! It was! Kenny! Why was Kenny here? Who thought it would be fun to hook Mia up with Kenny!? Why Why WHY! This was one of those moments I wished I did have to pee!
I felt Kenny slide in next to me. I just glanced over from my menu quickly to say hi, but I probly shouldn't have. I could feel his eyes starring at me. Burning into me like he was searching my soal! I glanced over once again, rasing an eyebrow.
"Yes?" I tried not to sound too snotty. But it was hard not too. Kenny was my friend. I hope he didn't like me.
"I don't have a menu, Can I look with you?" He had this....pleading look in his eye which made me feel bad of corse. I slide the menu over to him.
"Sure, here." I didn't know what I was getting, but I let him have it anyway. He looked disappointed that we couldn't look together. But I didn't wanna be holding one end, and him the other with both our faces crammed into the middle. It might look like we...well..like were kissing!
I was a little upset my date didn't turn out to be a cute senior. I was hoping for it to be Kevin, in the computer club. That guys is decent, just didn't know I existed, like Michael. Judy was whispering something into Michaels ear again, and I could see him smiling.
That set me off! Why didn't Michael tell me he had a girlfriend! Why did he have to lead me on like this!? I needed to get out of here! This couldn't have gotten any worse!
"Will you excuse me?" I said suddenly, standing up and walking away from the non-smoking section of the restrunt to the bathrooms. I stomped into the girls bathrom with mixed emotions. Angary, sad, frustrated. I sat myself on the counter top. There was no one in the bathroom, thank god, I didn't want anyone to see me so stressed out in tears. That would be tomarrows news paper header probly too. 'Princess in Tears'
"Mia? Mia you can't hide in the bathroom!" Lilly yelled from outside, then pushed the door open, walking over to me. She just folded her arms over her chest, shaking her head at me. Her black hair was up in a ponytail, bobby pins holding the small twists in her hair. "Mia, whats wrong? You practically pushed Kenny to the floor trying to get out! Hes really worried abought you."
"Kenny worrying abought me is the last thing I need right now Lil! I'm just so...frustrated! Why didn't you tell me my blind date was Kenny!" I had never really yelled at Lilly before. It took me a moment to realize this wasn't all really her fault. She didn't know I got annoyed of Kenny, quiet quickly.
"I'm sorry. He was all I could think of, and I really didn't think you wanted to be alone."
"I know, I'm sorry Lil. I'm just so stressed out with school, and my mom and her secret boyfriend and no date to the dance..."
I began to space out. Wow, I was stressed out. I needed a long vacation. Maybe to Genovia. Grandmere always says the white sandy beaches would relax me on my long hard days as a princess. Wait don't say that! Grr!I really don't want to think abought my royal heritage right now tho. It just makes matters worse.
"Mia. I know just what you need. A sleep over at my house so we can eat Mint Chocolate chip ice cream, and watch Dirty Dancing. Ya know? Like the day you found out you were a princess?"
I couldn't help but laugh beneath my tears. Lilly really did know how to help. "Sounds great. Right after we eat?"
"Hell Yeah! Now lets go get some pancakes!"
As soon as I returned to the table, everyone looked at me. I fixed my mascara so it wasn't running down my face, and my skin was only a little blotchy. Boris was chatting Judys ear off abought his up coming concerto, but Michael and Kenny looked at me concerned. Kenny stood quickly, letting me slide in next to him. Id rather it be Michael standing at my entrance then Kenny.
"Gee Mia, are you ok?" Kenny leaned into my ear. I could feel his breath and it made me cringe.
"I'm fine. I just want to eat...."
"I ordered you Pancakes and Scrambled Eggs, that ok?" Michael asked me, sounding sincere. He always knew what I wanted. Maybe the last 9 years of being around him has rubbed off.
"Sounds perfect Michael, thanks."
He smiled to me, nodding to see I was ok.
The rest of the night was actually fun. No, there was no flirty smiling, or footsies with Michael under the table (Altho I felt his foot brush across my leg once during dessert). Brian cracked Jokes, Kenny and Michael were talking abought a game they were making for Mr.Schwartz and Mrs.Lindices up coming wedding. Something abought her beinging bridezilla and you had to fetch everything she wanted in a certain amount of time.
The car ride home was even more fun. We sang loudly to Phantom Planets 'Hey Now Girl' and even to the classic song by Jimmy Hendrix 'Purple haze'. But the night was gonna get even better. Can't wait to go to Lillys place tonight. Maybe I would see Michael with out his shirt!
Well, there it is. Chapter two. I know I know its short! Eek! They'll start getting longer, and more edgy just you wait. But these things need to start off slow. And I think I'll add some songs in there to, like I see the other authors do. Makes it more...imaginable. I love movie soundtracks!
