Thank you, you guys gave such nice reviews.

13 February – 12 pm
I only woke up now, man, yesterday was a weird night. I was awake till 2 thinking about Mia and what Lilly said. She really likes me? Really? If she does, than why didn't I see it? And why didn't Mia say anything…it can't have been fear of rejection, I mean, I tried hard not to hurt Judith Greshner's feelings…and I don't even like her!
Wait, I think I hear Lilly outside…
……
13 February – 12:34 pm
It was Lilly, as she was walking past; I grabbed her and dragged her into my room. I pushed her (gently) onto my computer chair and sat on the bed facing her.
Lilly just rubbed her arm and glared at me "Michael, what is your problem?...I have to go and meet Boris and I'm late and this better be important-"
I ignored her complaining "Shut up Lilly, and just tell me what exactly Mia said about me?"
"She said you're a psycho freak" and started to get up.
I pushed her down again "Lilly…" I said warningly (You don't wanna mess with me…really)
Lilly sighed "Michael, she likes you…it's disgusting…that's it"
"How do you know? Did she tell you?"
"Yes! She told me…remember that day when I came in acting a bit…unlike myself? She told me then, I had suspected that hypothesis, and what Mia said just confirmed it…I truly am a genius!"
I shook my head "Get over yourself…so what did she say exactly?"
Lilly shrugged "You know Mia, it involved a lot of muttering and changing topics and after about an hour, she finally admitted that she liked you…'I love your brother' is an exact quote, and thereafter, she apologized-"
"Why did she apologise?" I asked quickly
"Because she knew that the idea of you and her would horrify me beyond belief."
"Ha!" I declared triumphantly "So it's your fault that Mia didn't tell me…"
"No Michael, it's your fault" Lilly rolled her eyes "If you hadn't wandered off with Judith Greshner, than maybe you would have given Mia more of an incentive to break up with Kenny 'lets do it' Showalter."
"Maybe if Mia had broken up with Kenny sooner, than nothing would have happened with Judith!" I argued
"Whatever Michael" Lilly stood up "I'm going" she walked out of the room.
I just sat on my bed thinking, and after a few moments, Lilly poked her head back in "Michael, if you have to tell Mia, please don't be such a loser when you do it…"

I know exactly how I'm gonna tell Mia! I'm not gonna go into details, but it involves Me, Mia, the Valentine Day Dance presentation and a whole load of luck!
I tried to call her on her cell to ask her, but all I got was the voicemail…
I guess I got to do it the hard way…
……
13 February – 4 pm
Yup, I did it! I hope Mia doesn't suspect anything.
Anyways, I went to see Mia…
She seemed a bit surprised to see me, but smiled and invited me in.
"How are you feeling?" I asked her
She laughed "Michael, it wasn't as if I was sick…"
"PMS?" I teased
She blushed slightly, oops, I forgot girls had all these weird hang-ups
"Sorry" I said hurriedly
She shook her head "No, I actually did feel like crap yesterday, but I'm better now…mainly because of you." She finished quietly
I raised my eyebrow "Me? What did I do?"
Mia shrugged "You know…it's good to have support from friends…thanks."
"No problem"
Mia started to walk around the loft; I think she was trying to clean up. I saw her grab a bra off a radiator and stuff it behind it. She turned to me, her face a bit red again "Do you want anything to drink?"
"If you're having"
She went into the kitchen and appeared a few moments later with two cans of soda, she handed one to me.
She sat next to me on the sofa (keeping a bit of distance)
"Um, Michael, why are you here exactly?"
"Well, I finished our presentation"
She blinked "Oh…I guess I forgot about it."
"Don't worry about it; the main thing is that it's done and ready for tomorrows dance."
Mia nodded "Um, Michael…Are you even allowed to come to the dance? I mean, aren't you still suspended?"
I grinned at her "Well, they said I couldn't go to school during school-hours…They didn't mention after-hours and extra-curricular activities."
Mia looked at me skeptically "So you actually want to go to the dance?"
"Only if you come with me." I said as Mia took a sip of her soda.
Mia coughed and choked.
"What!" She asked hoarsely once I had patted her a few times on the back.
I looked at her, come on, Lilly said she liked me, why didn't she just say 'yes'?
"Yeah, I guess you're not going with Kenny…"
She laughed humourlessly "Duh"
"Remember on the 8th-" I coughed "-um, you remember that day I said I'd be your date if things didn't work out with Kenny…so here I am, at your service, Princess." And I mock-bowed.
"Are you sure?" Mia asked
"Yeah, I mean, we both worked on this presentation, it would make sense for us to go together…"
Mia had a weird look on her face, like happy, but kinda disappointed
"And because I really do want to go with you." I finished quickly
Mia smiled "Are you really sure?" she asked again
I gently shook Mia by the shoulders "Yes Mia, I'm sure, so you'll go with me?"
"Uh-huh…" Mia replied in a daze
I got up "Listen, I gotta go, I'll pick you up at 7…if that's okay with you."
She nodded silently and followed me to the door.
I grinned at her as she opened the door for me "See you tomorrow!"
Ok, so that's the hard part done. Now just a few minor technicalities left, I'm gonna concentrate on those now and tomorrow, I'll write about how things went. Whoohoo, Mia is my date to the dance!
COMPUTER SHUTDOWN
