Homeroom
Why does my mother constantly try to ruin my life? Why? It is evidently not enough that I spend all my time at princess lessons, school or doing anything else that I have to do that I also have to look after my bitchy cousin from California.
Okay, so Madison wasn't always like this super bitch but when I was like seven she turned so nasty, probably due to the billions her dad made from his stupid company. Anyway, we don't talk. At least, until her mom thought she could do with a lesson on the real world and sent her straight to New York.
So now I have to go straight from school tomorrow to the airport to pick up said cousin. Great.
I told Lilly and she was all for going to the UN and declare I was being held against my will but my mom overheard is talking and said that if I did such a thing there would be no Lifetime Movie Channel for Women for a month which I think is a complete travesty of justice so I told Lilly to shut up.
It's not like we have anything in common. She's this rich valley girl with princess tattooed across her forehead and I'm like this real princess who is the furthest thing from what an actual princess should be. It really sucks. I know that once Grandmere takes one look at her she will fall in love with her and Genovia will have a new honorary princess that everyone will adore and I'll just be Queen Mia the old hag who never has any fun because she's too busy stressing about serious stuff.
She's like a miniature Paris Hilton. She is, I swear. When I went to visit her one year she had this huge big crowd of people hanging around her. She's like teen royalty and what's worse is that she knows it. Her dad gave her a personal credit card when she was thirteen and ever since then she's been spending enough money in one month to clear an entire third world country of their debt problems, I swear. She just shops, like all the time. And she has this really annoying best friend called Shelley who is the stupidest person I think I have ever met in my life. She says her hair can predict the next big trend (I am so sure) and that her parents called her Shelley after reading about the powers of healing children with names relating to the sea have. Seriously deluded people obviously.
And worse still, she'll be coming to my school. Albert Einstein High School, where I am notorious for being a freak, a nerd and anything else Lana Weinberger can come up with to make me even more of a social disaster.
I had to go into this really embarrassing meeting with Principal Gupta who was wondering about my cousin. She practically died when I told her she was from California; apparently she has this huge big admiration thing going on for anyone from California.
And then Lana found out. She was all 'Hey Mia is your cousin a freak like you?' and I was all 'Shut up Lana' and Lilly was all 'Lana, you're a...' and then Mr G stopped her and gave her a punishment for swearing in school. To which Lilly set down an hour's worth of reading about how she never actually swore and nobody could prove she was going to; she could just have been calling Lana an idiot. Mr G told her to go away and let her off the punishment, probably for an easy life.
Anyway, I have Bio next which completely bombs and then I have to go to see Mrs Harris, who is the schools guidance tutor or something. Whatever, it sucks anyway.
