Chapter 5 –January entries
January 1st
Wow, new years here in Athens! This is pretty cool. I wonder how Michael's feeling, not being able to spend new years with me? I wonder what he's up to right now.
I also want to know what mom and Mr.G are up to. Hehe. I'm so glad I'm not showing yet! Maybe I should go to the palace of Genovia a few days before the birth. But what if I'm in Russia? That would be too much, I think. Damn. I wonder what everyone's reactions will be when they find out.
Oh sorry, I gotta go. We're all going to dinner now at this restaurant close to the hotel.
Bye for now!
January 2nd
Whoa, last night was the BOMB! Had a great time hanging and pigging out, and going completely psycho. Had to also be careful of what I ate, of course. I just ordered what I thought was good for me and the baby, and THEN I pigged out. Hahaha. It was new years, so everyone in the place just had a lot of fun. It was a huge restaurant, and they played upbeat Greek music, which was cool. After that, we went back to the hotel and had fun hanging out and chatting. I wish I could call Michael, but I think he's on holiday.
January 5th
Now we're in Crete. This island is where most of my mom's family comes from. It's a very beautiful island, and we're in ANOTHER hotel by the beach. Friggen awesome!
LATER
Wow, I'm having a
blast here! We went to three different towns and went shopping! I
bought Michael a CD of Greek guitar music. I think he'd like that.
I also bought mom and Mr.G some Greek souvenirs. Mom's family comes
from Crete, so I bought her some stuff from this island, just
because.
LATER, BACK AT HOTEL
Stupid Boris. I don't
even know why they LET him bring his stupid violin along! He's been
practicing Bartok for an HOUR now! Grrr. I don't know how Lilly
can stand going out with a violin nerd. I sure couldn't. Lilly says
Michael isn't any better, because he's a "band geek". I
laughed pretty hard. Michael is NOT a "band geek" because A, he's
totally hot, B, he's dating a real princess, C, he's extremely
talented and can write his own songs, D, he can play a lot of
instruments, E, he's going to Columbia, and F, he's romantic,
loyal, funny, and caring. So he is perfect in almost every way. In MY
opinion.
And okay, Lilly just laughed. Just because Michael is her
brother, that doesn't mean she can put him down all the time. I
actually think she's jealous of him, because he's perfect and
talented and all.
Maybe I should call Michael when we're in
England, because I know the time difference there. We're going
there in about two weeks, actually. I don't understand why we
didn't go there first, because we had to land in their airport
first thing. Oh well. I guess I can wait two weeks.
January 7th
Oh man, I can't
believe I've forgotten to write in Michael's journal! And mom's,
too!
Yikes.
This afternoon, I came up with the most
perfect names. For a girl, I thought of
Alexandra Helen Marie.
For a boy I thought of Jordan Alexander. Of course I'll have to ask
Michael to see what he thinks. I added the Helen in the girl's name
because I love my mom and she's done a lot for me (I love my dad
too, I just don't think his name fits in with my idea for the boy)
and Helen sounds good with Alexandra and Marie. Of course, my mom
will be extremely happy. I don't think Grandmere would like it
though, because
she doesn't like my mom, and SHE isn't being named after, or anything. She deserves it, though, because she's a bitch, and I don't want my daughter being named after one of those.
January 10th
Yikes, I haven't written in here for three whole days! Right now I'm in the island called Cyprus. We left on the 8th and we're in this nice hotel called Athena's temple. Right now I've got about 50 pictures.
Sorry, I gotta go because we're all going out to lunch now, and then to the beach!
January 10th
Michael,
How is everything
going? I hope you had fun on the holidays. I miss you so much! Guess
what, I thought of names for our baby. I'm thinking of Alexandra
Helen Marie (for a girl) and Jordan Alexander (for a boy). We're
in the island of Cyprus right now, and before we were in Crete. We've
been touring around the towns and all of that. I bought you a
souvenir, too. I can't believe no one has noticed that I'm a
princess around here! That's kind of funny. Well, I guess nobody
looks real hard because I'm with a group of other kids.
I'm
doing okay and so is Lilly and everyone else!
Love you lots,
Mia
xoxo
January 12th
Sorry for not writing
yesterday. We've been touring all afternoon, and when we came back
I went straight to my hotel room and slept.
Thankfully no one has
seen my journal(s)! I'll try to keep them un-noticeable, so nobody
will find out I'm pregnant, for a while.
I'll probably start
to show next month. Well, I've already got a bump, but it's not
very noticeable, I think. Actually it isn't, because so far no one
has suspected me of being pregnant (thank god!) not even
Lilly!
Right now I'm in bed (it's night time) and I'm
writing this while Lilly, Tina, and Shameeka are hanging out and
chatting. Boris just came in to see Lilly. Oh great.
It's not
that I hate or don't like Boris, it's just that he gets VERY
annoying every so often, and especially when he practices his funny
violin tunes like Bartok. Ugh.
I think I'm going to stop writing, and join my friends. Bye for now!
January 14th
Our time in Greece is
almost over! In two days we're going to Italy for a week, and then
heading to England! Wow. I might have to get a new memory card soon
for my camera.
Not much is happening right now. I'm just
hanging out in my hotel room with Tina and Shameeka. Lilly's out
somewhere with Boris. Ew. Oh well.
Tina and Shameeka are
looking at each other's pictures on their digital cameras (I let
them look at mine too).
God, it's so boring right now! Jeez…I
really wish Michael were here!
January 17th
Here in Italy! Wow, it's really, really hot! We're staying in ROME right now! I'm still Tina, Shameeka and Lilly's room mates of course. So far nothing much has happened except arriving here. I'm so hot I can barely move…I don't know how people can stand living in the intense heat! My friends are heading straight over to the pool in a few seconds, so I should stop now and go with them! I need it!
January 19th
OH MY GOD, I can't
believe what an IDIOT I am! I left my travel journal for Michael
ON MY BED, like right on my bed, and Lilly was looking for an extra
piece of paper, (my journal is like a really thick notebook) and she
opened it, and saw the FIRST ENTRY! And you know what's in the
first entry? I told him I would keep him updated on EVERYTHING,
including the baby! Why am I such a pathetic, careless
idiot?
Lilly was steaming mad.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!"
She shouted. "YOU NEVER EVEN BOTHERED TO TELL ME, YOUR BEST
FRIEND!" (I am SO glad Tina and Shameeka weren't in the room
at the time!) "HOW CAN YOU BE SO STUPID? YOU HAVEN'T EVEN
BEEN CROWNED QUEEN, MORON!"
"SHUT UP, LILLY!" I
yelled back.
"NO, I WON'T SHUT
UP!" She screamed. "YOU-YOU- DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS HAS DONE
TO ME?"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, TO YOU, LILLY ELENA
MOSCOVITZ? YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WITH A-YOU KNOW!"
"I DON'T
CARE! YOU KNOW WHAT IT'LL DO TO MICHAEL?"
"NOTHING!
HE'S HAPPY!"
"HAPPY? HAPPY? HE'S GOING TO BE A
FRIGGEN KING!"
"LILLY, SHUT UP!" I shouted so
loudly, that the people across the room knocked on the door and
scolded us for screaming. Only we couldn't understand it, because
it was in German. Lana came over and said, "what the fuck is going
on, idiots? Can't you see some people are trying to chill, without
you making such a friggen racket? Like, god. You're like so
rude!"
I closed the door in her face, and turned to face Lilly.
"Lilly," I said slowly, "I am a princess. And if you
tell a single soul, I will make sure to punish you when Michael is
living in the palace with me!"
That made her
shut up.
"Fine," she said, "but everyone will find out
sooner or later!"
Oh my god. Now I feel
even worse! I can't believe it. Poor Genovia has an idiot for a
princess! Jeez.
Now I don't even know what to say, or write!
January 20th
Well, last night was a complete disaster. Lana told Miss. Sanchez about our yelling scene and we got punished. So instead of going touring tomorrow with everyone else, Lilly and I have to stay in our hotel rooms. For the WHOLE DAY. Thanks a lot, Lilly Moscovitz.
AN: review and I'll write more! xx
