Unlucky Girl

The Accident

Lilly really gets on my nerves sometimes. I know we're best friends, but sometimes she doesn't treat me like a friend. Like today at school. She's having this strike on the making of leather products. She hates it when animals are hurt, and I do too, but leather products? I mean, come one! They've been around forever, and no one's done anything about it yet because no one cares. I didn't agree with her on this one, so now she's mad at me. I guess she'll still let me stay at her house tonight. My mom is going to visit some of her relatives that are out of state, so I have to stay with someone. Oh, here Lilly comes now. She actually looks happy. I hope that's a good sign.

"Mia, you'll never guess what just happened! Just guess!" Great! I hate it when people ask that question. Why do they expect us to guess the right answer anyway? I guess I'll give it a whirl.

"Um...Michael was actually nice to you?" Lame, I know. She made a face that showed that that was far from the right answer.

"Yeah right! No, a teacher actually agreed with my strike! She's going to sign my petition and pass it around for the other teachers to sign it, too. Isn't this awesome!" I tried to look happy for her. I mean, at least she wasn't mad at me anymore. I put on a fake smile and tried to sound cheery.

"Oh yeah, that is great Lilly." The bell rang just then, telling us we had better hurry or we'd be late. We said goodbye to each other, and I made my way down the hall to Algebra. I have so much trouble in this class. Luckily, I have Michael to tutor me. Michael. Lilly's older brother. I used to think he was annoying, but now I love him. Literally. He doesn't think of me that way, though. I guess I'm just the annoying best friend of his younger sister. Oh well! If I think of all that, then I know I'll get depressed. Well, here's the math classroom. I can't wait.

Thank God that math went by quickly! Lana kept bugging me about Lilly's strike. I guess she thinks I agree wit hit, so that makes me a dork. It's not my fault that my best friend takes things way too seriously. Anyway, now school's over. I just have to find Lilly and Michael and then we can go to their house. I'm actually looking forward to the sleep over now, though. At least Michael will be there. I found Lilly at her locker. She saw me and walked over.

"Well, now we just have to find Michael and then we can go. It's just like him to make us wait." She looked a little angry, so I decided not to say anything. After about 10 min. Michael walked up to us. He smiled at me and Lilly.

"Sorry I'm late. I had to do some more stuff with the computers before I left." He then turned to me.

"Hey, Thermopolis. Ready to spend 2 days with us at home? I just know you'll have fun. At least, that is, if Lilly doesn't drive you crazy." Lilly smacked him over the head for saying that. This is normal for them, though. We headed outside and got into the limo. Lars is driving us to Lilly and Michael's house, but then he gets a 2 day vacation.

When we got to their house, we all piled out and headed up to the door. Michael unlocked the door and we all went in. Their parents were away right now, so the house was empty. Lilly went into the kitchen and found a note from their parents. She read it out loud.

"We went shopping for groceries and then we're going out to eat. We'll be back around 7:00, so don't worry. Love, Mom and Dad." I carried my stuff over to Lilly's room and set it down. She has such a messy room. I thought mine was bad, but at least I can see my floor! I went back into the den just as Michael was calling in a pizza.

"Yeah, I want a large cheese pizza. That's all. Thanks! Bye. The pizza should be here in about 20 min." He walked over to his room and went inside. I wish he wouldn't always disappear every time I come over, but if he didn't then Lilly would yell at him. Lilly was looking over her petition, so I just decided to sit on the couch and watch some tv until the pizza came.

After we ate, me and Lilly went into the den and pulled out Sleepless In Seattle. It's such a touching movie! I knew Michael would probably have a bad remark about it, though. He only likes Star Wars and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Don't get me wrong. I love Star Wars, too, and watch Buffy occasionally, but I also love romantic movies. So, we sat there watching it while eating some popcorn. I decided that I was very thirsty and I had a kernel stuck in my throat anyway, so I went into the kitchen. I was just about to reach the refrigerator, when all of a sudden I slid on water on the floor that I hadn't seen until I had fallen flat on my back and my left arm. Then everything went black.
