Alright, cagurl. I'll listen to your advice to write longer chapters. The trouble is that everytime I write using Microsoft Word, they always seem so long. But never mind, I'll try to change. Anyway, my finals are coming in a week and I don't think I'll be able update frequently. Sigh finals sucks! Anyway, enjoy and please READ AND REVIEW!!!

P.S. I'm just taking one step at a time, so I don't know how this will turn out. Hope that it's okay!

P.P.S. Thanks for all the encouraging reviews

In the limo:

Mia:

It was Wednesday. 3 more days of school before vacation, meaning only 3 days left to be with Michael in school. We are on our way to pick Michael and Lilly up, but instead of being excited to get to see Michael again, I was dreading it. Sure, yesterday had been great. It was nice having Michael cuddling me and kissing, but on thinking that it was going to be one of the few times in the future, I feel sad immediately. Besides that, who is going to help me with my algebra in the future? Michael is going to be very busy once he goes off to college! I know, Mr Gianini is a great teacher, but let's face it. How can I bear to look at my stepfather somemore when I already have to face him everyday in school? I certainly can't. Oh god. I really don't know what to do. Alright, Lars has reached Michael's house. They are both here. Must not think about this anymore!

Michael:

After Lars pulled up in front of the house, Lilly and I both got into the limo. Once I saw Mia, I reached over to her and gave her a peck on the cheek. However, I could sense that she was stiff all over, as if she doesn't want anybody to touch her. Concerned, I asked her what was the matter, but the only reply that I got was "I'm fine." I wonder what happened. Weren't we enjoying ourselves last night?

Mia:

Michael looks as great as ever when he climbed into the limo. Being the ever-sweet guy he was, he asked me if I was fine. That's the best thing about him. He treats me as somebody he cares about and not just a babe that he was going out with. (Although I'm not really a babe!) I was really tempted to hug him and told him that I loved him, but it seems as if that there was a force preventing me from doing so. Thus, after replying and giving him a little smile, I turned back and talked to Lilly, ignoring him for the whole journey to school. God. He must wonder why am I acting like such a freak today.

In school:

Michael:

Mia was ignoring me during the whole journey to school today. Even now, as I walked her to her locker, none of us are speaking a word. As we passed Lana, who was waiting for Josh at his locker, Mia didn't even respond when Lana called her a freak. Normally, she would have at least glared back at her!

"Just shut up." I said back to Lana. She had no right to hurl abuse at my girlfriend!

Mia:

It was great to see Michael defending me when Lana called me a freak. You should have seen her face when Michael told her to shut up. I guessed that she was jealous for Josh would certainly just laugh if someone called her a freak. After taking my books from the locker, I turned back to Michael and said, " Wanna hang out after school today?"

"Okay, that's a great idea. We could hang out at my house."

"Um...actually I was thinking that we can all hang out at a pizza parlour or something. You know...with Lilly and Tina maybe?

"Oh, sure. If that's what you want." Michael replied.

After that, we said goodbye to each other and Michael gave me another kiss again before we went for lessons.

Michael:

I wonder why Mia wanted to hang out with the gang today. Normally, she would have liked to hang out with me alone and we would watch some videos or something. Well, at least I could still be with her. Let's just hope that she would be fine again after school.
