Wednesday 3rd September, English
I love this class, it seems to be the only one I enjoy and do well in. Even though I grew up in Genovia speaking French I always spoke English with mum because she never bothered learning French.
I'm going shopping with mum today to buy some clothes and were also going to buy a few things for the new apartment because it feels a bit empty with just a cooker, beds, and a fridge, which we got put into the house before we came over. Mum also wants to go to an art shop and get some materials so she can start experimenting again.
Mum was really happy for me when I told her that Lilly had invited me over on Friday night, maybe it's because she thought I'd never make any friends and she's just glad I'm not going to be at home all the time.
Wednesday, 3rd September, home
I hate being so tall. Do you know how hard it is to buy ready-made clothes to fit me? I ended up buying mostly skirts because most of the trousers were too short. The clothes over here are really nice though. We also bought quite a few things for the house; at last it's starting to feel like a home and not a hospital room!
Thursday, 4th September, bio
The class it quite interesting but then again I'm not doing the same as the rest of the class who are dissecting frogs which is really disgusting and cruel. Both myself and my partner whose name is Kenny opted out and we have to find all about frog reproduction, well at least its better than dissecting the creatures.
Kenny's really friendly, though I haven't a clue what he's talking about. Its something called anime. I haven't a clue what it is but Kenny seems to find it very interesting.
I can't wait till tomorrow evening when I go to Lilly's. I've never been so close with anyone that I've gone to her house. Even though Claude and I used go out with each other in Genovia, it was never the same. I wonder how she is; I must call everyone back at home later.
Thursday, 4th September, my very comfortable bed
I've just got off the phone. I was on it for ages. First of all I called dad and Thierry. They're both well. Thierry says it's a bit weird at home by himself. It does feel a bit weird just living with mum but were really close so that helps. Dad told me that the minister of tourism was over the other night for dinner and his kids were all asking where I was and when dad told them I'd moved to America they were all really disappointed. I never knew I had such an influence on them, I always thought they didn't like me and that's why they always ran away from me! Then I rang Claude, she says she really misses me and that she has no one to go to all the balls with any more (I must explain her dad is a minister and that's how we met, at a ball). I'm sure she'll have forgotten all about me by next week, she's so nice and friendly she'll have people lining up to be her friend and she'll forget about me because she'll have all these new friends to do new and exciting things with and I won't be there to beg her to go to all the balls with me.
Friday, 5th September, G & T
I hate algebra. I really hate algebra. Did I mention how much I mention algebra? I'm trying to do my algebra homework so I don't have to do it over the weekend and I won't be at home tonight. I'm really looking forward to going to Lilly's. I wonder will Michael be there. Actually I doubt it, he'll probably be out with his super cool friends doing something ultra cool. Why would he want to be at home by himself with his little sister's friends? But then again I will still be there tomorrow morning so maybe I might to catch a glimpse of him, even a mini-glimpse would make my day! He's so gorgeous. Anyway, I must get on with my algebra
Friday, 5th September, home
I love algebra; did I ever mention just how much I love algebra? In G & T when I was trying to finish my algebra homework I must of let out some kind of groan because Michael who was sitting in front of me turned around and asked me was I ok. I mumbled something in the lines of that I couldn't do my algebra but I'd be ok and he said he'd help me on whatever it was. So tens minutes late in heaven I'd completed my algebra homework. I haven't a clue why he offered to help me but it just really shows how nice he is. Lilly said I should come over around 7.30. It's now 5.30. I'm kind of nervous; I've never been to anything like this before. I didn't even know what to bring and I had to ask mum! She said I should bring my toothbrush, pyjamas, change of clothes and underwear. I wonder what mum is going to do while I'm not here. She seems a bit nervous herself.
Friday, 5th September, Lilly's
I'm so glad I moved to New York with mum. If I'd stayed in Genovia I'd never of made friends with Lilly, Tina or Shameeka though I don't know Tina or Shameeka as well as I know Lilly but Lilly speaks very highly of them. Also I'd never of met Michael, though I know he'll never like me he's much nicer to me than any of the guys I knew in Genovia, especially the guys I went out with who were more interested in my title than me.
When I went to Lilly's she told me we had to go to the video shop to get the videos. We got "How to Lose a Guy In 10 Days", "I Capture the Castle" and "Notting Hill". Then when we got back to her apartment she rang the pizza place and 30 minutes later the pizza was here. We than sat down with the pizza and watched "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days", I'd never seen it before but it was really good. The guy who played Ben is quite cute! We then watched "I Capture the Castle". It was really good; I'd seen this film before back in England when I was over there once. It' based on the book by Dodie Smith which I love. We were getting a bit tired so we decided to change into our pyjamas before we watched "Notting Hill". I felt really stupid in my red satin pyjamas when Lilly got into hers, which had cows jumping over moons on them. Then we watched the last film, it is really good, and I couldn't help but cry. I'm not very good when it comes to films like those when they become all soppy, I just cry and cry. I loved the character played by Hugh Grant, he is a very nice man, I had the opportunity of meeting him at the Cannes Film Festival one year.
Anyway, after we'd finished watching the videos I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and when I was coming out of the bathroom I bumped into someone. I looked up and there was Michael, with nothing on top, he smiled at me and said, "Think you're a bit lost princess, you live next door". I tried to tell him that I was staying with Lilly for the night but nothing would come out of my mouth, I just stood there, standing in front of Michael feeling so stupid. After what felt like an eternity I told him that I was staying with Lilly, he smiled at me and then went into the bathroom. When I finally got back to Lilly's room she asked me what had taken me so long in the bathroom and I told her that'd I'd bumped into Michael. She muttered something under her breath, which sounded something along the lines of "stupid ass".
We then got into bed and talked for ages about school and I told her all about what it was like in Genovia. She was quite interested in Genovia itself but I have a feeling that she doesn't agree with monarchies. Then she told me all about how she started going out with Boris, it was pretty funny how it happened. Do you know the way I mentioned the way that he is locked inside the cupboard? Well, one day Lilly protested that the class was for everyone who is talented. She then went on to say that he was one of the most talented in the class and he deserved to be allowed some fresh air while playing his violin. Even though her protest was not successful Boris was so amazed by her kindness that he asked her out. It's so cute. Maybe I could do something like that for Michael and he might realise I'm here and alive!
Saturday, 6th September, home
I've just got back from Lilly's. We didn't get up till around 12 but we'd stayed up so late last night I'm not surprised we slept so late. When we got up there was a note left in the counter from her parents saying that they'd gone out for the day to some kind of meeting. I wondered where Michael was but I didn't have to wonder for much longer. After we got our breakfast we went into the sitting room to watch tv and Michael was already in there watching some kind of sci-fi film. Lilly sighed and walked out of the room, I just followed here but as I left the room I turned back to look at Michael who had just turned at the same time and smiled at me.
I don't know what mum was up to last night but she seems to be in a very good mood. At least she's getting on with her painting; she's set one room aside to be her art room. She's already started on one painting. I'm not quite sure what its meant to be but it looks good. I know that we don't need money that because dad still pays for us to live here I have the feeling mum doesn't want to live off his money for the rest of her life.
I wonder what mum and I are going to do for the rest of the afternoon. I don't feel like doing much else.
Sunday, 7th September, home
I love Sundays. For as long as I've known Sunday is a day of rest and not quite in the original meaning. Today mum and I popped down to the supermarket and bought loads of junk food. When we got home we went straight into the sitting room and turned on the tv. About a Boy was on, Hugh Grant is really good in this film, the guy who plays Marcus kind of looks like Thierry.
I love this class, it seems to be the only one I enjoy and do well in. Even though I grew up in Genovia speaking French I always spoke English with mum because she never bothered learning French.
