Title: Expectations
Author: Odintsova
Rating: K+-T(depends on where I go with the story)
Summary: This doesn't really follow any of the books. It is set in Mia's freshman year and is MM. Mia already knows she is a princess, but she and Michael aren't together yet. This story is done from Michael's POV(I'm a girl, so if Michael starts to sound too girly, please let me know). This is my first non-Alias fanfic, so let me know what you think. Thanks.
Chapter 1
Entry: December 18th, 11:29pm
I am not a macho guy, but a diary has always seemed like more a girl thing. Plus I write painfully slow, so it would take me forever to actually write anything down. I type about ten times faster than I write, but I wouldn't want to just have my diary saved in a document file. I mean, neither my parents are snoops, but certain other members of my family (read: Lily) are, and if certain parts of my life became public knowledge, it would be very embarrassing.
So when my grandparents gave me this software for Chanukah, I was so excited. It is a journal software, where you have a password. Which means I can type my entries without fear of someone (Lily) reading them. The password had to be at least eight characters, and it couldn't be all letters. So I chose mia+michael, I am insane, you don't need to tell me.
So, since I feel like I am writing to someone, I want to explain a little bit about myself.
My name is Michael Moscovitz and I will be eighteen this January, making me, as Lily is always so quick to point out, still seventeen. My family consists of my parents, both psychoanalysts, and Lily, my neurotic fourteen year old sister. I also have a dog, whose name is Pavlov.
I am kind of a computer geek, and I like to think of myself as a musician, I play the guitar and piano. I have never had a girlfriend because, ever since I was about fourteen I have been in love with, or at least have had a major crush on, the same girl. Why don't I ask her out, you ask? Here's a list:
Top Five Reasons Why She Won't Go Out With Me
1. I am a science geek and sometimes musician, she is a brilliant and caring social activist(not insane like Lily) and writer.
2. We run in different circles, and have none of the same friends.
3. We only have one class(if you could even call it that) together, G&T.
4. I am three years older than her, making her a freshman. And what parents in their right minds would let a freshman go out with a senior?
5. There are two reasons that tie for first:
a. She is my little sister's best friend(um, awkward?)
b. She is a princess, no I am not kidding, a princess. Which means she
will probably have to marry Prince William or whatever. (Even though she
swears that could never happen because they belong to different churches,
or something like that).
So can you kind of see my problem?
I am in love with Mia Thermopolis and the only thing she will ever think of me of is her best friends brother. I think I am being way too over dramatic, and am starting to depress myself, so I'm going to sign off now and go to sleep.
