Thanx for the reviews all...

8 February – 7 am
That was very weird situation yesterday; I guess it's an incentive to break up with Judith as soon as possible, so I don't have to face a situation like that again!
I hope I get to work with Mia on that project…I hate it that she's so distant and cold towards me…its not like we're the closest friends but no friendship at all? Nuh-uh, I have to at least talk to her.
……
8 February – 7:15 am
But one thing that I totally don't understand is why Mia and Lilly have been so upset with me since I started "dating" Judith.
I mean, even though me and Lilly live in the same house, she mostly stays out of my business and even though I haven't dated much, Lilly didn't care much about the few girls that I've been out with…so what's her problem now?
And Mia? I could very optimistically say that Mia is jealous about me going out with another girl, or pessimistically say that Mia just doesn't like me…but that wouldn't make sense, Mia likes everyone! I wish she and Lilly would fight again, whenever that happens, Mia is a lot friendlier.
Reasons
why Mia would be madly in love with me:
-I
am devastatingly handsome (",)
-I'm
a nice guy (really!)
-I
treat her with the greatest respect (If she actually notices)
-I
don't make a big deal about her being a princess
Reasons
why Mia would hate my guts and/or be less than friendly towards me:
-I'm
a pushover
-She
could think that I'm a stuck-up senior
-She
thinks I like narrow-minded people like JG
-Lilly
could have told her about the time I sniffled when watching Titanic
for the first time (seriously, it was a cold…having Leo thrown in
the drink is actually quite amusing…maybe Mia thinks I'm a wuss)
-I
don't make a big deal about her being a princess (Maybe she likes
the attention…doubtful, but it could be)
Oh crap, I'm late…Mia wouldn't mind giving me a lift, would she?
……
8 February – 3 pm
She didn't mind giving me a lift…well, she didn't say no.
Today was actually quite a good day…I (over)heard a conversation between Mia and some of her friends…and then I got to work with Mia in G & T…more about that later.
Yeah, anyways, the CC lunch table is right across the room away from Mia and Lilly's table, so usually I can just gaze across at Mia. Today though, there were a bunch of visiting students from Trinity who were apparently here for a Model UN debate or something like that, anyways, those guys had no idea about which tables belonged to which group, so they just sat anywhere. So I ended up on the table behind Mia's, sitting with Judith (yep, she's still convinced that we're in a slow-moving relationship, at least she wasn't grabbing onto me so often anymore).
Kenny was sitting with Mia, Tina and Shameeka were also there. They were all talking about last night's episode of Charmed, until Shameeka asked Kenny if he would get them some sodas. Kenny quite amiably agreed and got up to join the long queue at the tuck-shop.
Then Tina looked suspiciously to both sides of her (to make sure that no-one was listening?), but she didn't look back to where I was sitting (all three of them had their backs to me). Tina and Shameeka then kinda ducked their heads around her and Tina stage-whispered "Mia, when are you going to break up with him?"
Mia is gonna break up with Kenny, Yes!
Mia just shook her head "I can't, it's so mean, especially so close to the dance"
A snort came from Shameeka "Oh, come on Mia, you don't even like the guy-"
Mia cut in "Shameeka! This is the only boy in the world who actually likes me for myself! God knows if I'll ever find another boyfriend!"
"Yes you will, who's that senior you have a crush on?" Shameeka asked
Senior? I'm a senior, please let it be me!
Mia started "Tina, you told!"
Tina just shrugged "Er, not exactly, it's kind of obvious that you don't care that much about Kenny and I didn't tell her the name, it just slipped out that he's a senior."
Mia seemed to bury her face in her hands "What? It's obvious? Oh my God, so why is Kenny still hanging around me when he knows I don't like him in that way?"
Shameeka laughed "Ok, it's obvious to everyone besides Kenny…so who's this senior?"
Mia just shook her head again "It's pointless anyway, he doesn't like me and he already has a girlfriend."
"Please tell me it's not Josh Richter again…"
"God no!" Mia sounded horrified, "Okay, okay…it's-"
"Here Mia, your soda" Kenny was back
Oh man, if there was a time that I really hated Kenny Showalter, it was then. I could have found out who Mia liked! Dumb kid!
Mia and her friends obviously changed the subject, so listening to them was pointless. I had to listen to Judith now, she was telling me about her family's holiday home in the south of France…despite Judith's exaggeration's, it sounds like a cool place.
Well, the lunch bell rang soon after that, I had G & T then, but Judith wanted me to walk her to her Study Hall, but before I did that, I think I gave Mia a bit of a shock. She was getting up from her table, and as she slung her bag over her shoulder, she turned around. When she caught sight of me, her eyes became bigger than they already were. She grabbed Tina's arm and practically dragged her out of the lunchroom.
Once I dropped Judith outside her class, I decided to try the classroom that Mia had been using. I opened the door of the classroom and peeked in, Mia was sitting near the front, she looked up when I entered. "Hi" she smiled.
"Hi" I replied
Uncomfortable silence.
Mia fidgeted with her Save the Whales key ring, I just stood there like an idiot, then I said "Hey, I saw you in the lunchroom, I would've said 'hi' but you left in a hurry."
Mia blushed "Er, you didn't hear what I was talking to Tina and Shameeka about, did you?"
She looked so cute "Not if you didn't want me to…"
Mia laughed then looked uncomfortable again "Michael, promise you won't tell Kenny what you heard."
I acted confused "What did I hear?"
Mia just gave me this exasperated look "Seriously Michael"
"Ok, ok, I won't…I didn't tell him before, so why would I now?"
Mia smiled "Thanks"
"No problem…" I started to get some paper out of my bag "…but do want my opinion?"
Mia looked up at me "Yeah, sure."
"I don't think you should carry on with Kenny, especially since you don't like him…If he ever found out, he'd think you're leading him on." Talk about hypocrisy, I was doing the same thing (kind-of).
"I guess you're right, but what can I do? He's my bio partner and my date to the VD dance…having him around makes my life a bit more stable." She looked a bit sad "My life is pretty unstable right now."
"Yeah, I suppose it is really tough for you right now" I agreed
"Uh-huh, at least when I'm with Kenny, I don't have much chance of being dumped slash dumping my date at the dance…unlike what happened at the Cultural Diversity Dance"
I remembered that Josh Richter tried to use Mia to get his 15 minutes of fame at that dance and the fact that once she ditched him, she and me slow danced to all the slow songs, I smiled at the memory "Oh, come on, that didn't turn out that bad."
Mia smiled too "Yeah, I forgot to thank you for being there that night."
I dunno what I was thinking but this just popped out "Hey, you know, worse comes to worst; I'll be your date if it doesn't work out with Kenny…"
Mia just looked up at me, I realized how stupid I must've sounded "I mean, not that think it shouldn't work out between you guys, but you know, just in case coz I don't really have a date-"
Mia interrupted me "I thought you were going with Judith."
"Oh, I…am, but you know, I'm sure she'd understand if something happened."
Mia shrugged "Michael, it's really sweet of you…" she put her hand on my arm "but you should go with Judith, she is your girlfriend."
Now that's the part where I should've shouted "No, Mia, she isn't, I love you!" but the typical MM syndrome comes out and I say…nothing.
So me and Mia worked on the project for the rest of the lesson, we talked but we kept away from topics like boyfriends, girlfriends etc. Mia was being nice again, which was cool…my sister is a bad influence on everyone. There were so many messages by then, I don't know how we're gonna fit them all in. We tossed out the lewd ones, kept the best ones for the start of the presentation and left the rest to be flashed randomly throughout the dance.
Yep, and that was my day…not a bad day either.
