LOSING TO MIA

Disclaimer: I do not own "Princess Diaries"

A/N. I normally don't write fanfiction in anything except for Harry Potter. So I've decided to get a new account and write other types of Fan Fiction too. Hope you like this one! Oh, and the italics depict thoughts..

Plot: Lana Weinberger, the pretty blonde cheerleader who's the most popular and an expert in getting boys has everything under her control. Or so she thought. Just after Mia and Michael have broken up, a new boy arrives. He's Tanner Love, a gorgeous football player. Lana is determined to make him hers, only he's more interested in Mia than her.

CHAPTER ONE: THE NEW BOY

"Check him out," said Trisha Hayes, a pretty brunette and Lana's best friend pointing to a dark haired boy, a senior, Lana presumed.

He was worth a glance alright. He had midnight black hair and cobalt blue eyes, his pale face and hard jawline made him even more gorgeous. He was breathtaking, every girl so far had stopped to glance at him. The way he walked and behaved shouted "arrogant" but Lana didn't mind that. It only made him more of a challenge.

"I'll give him a 10/10," said Lana with a smile.

Josh was a major dissapointment, he just didn't get it while he broke up with her. The darkhaired guy looked like The One now.

"He's Mine," said Lana confidently to Trisha as she gave her blond hair a flick and walked towards him.

"Hey," said Lana as she caught up with him.

"Hello," he said, looking at her at an almost bored manner.

"He's just used to the attention," Lana consoled herself.

"New here?" she enquired as he nodded.

"Any idea where the History classroom is?" he asked her as she rewarded him with a smile. That was better.

"Yes. I have History too.. I'll show you," she told him, restraining herself from being too eager.

"Great!" he said now a little more enthusiastic.

"So how do you find it here so far?" she asked him as they climbed upstairs to the first floor.

"Its okay, I need a place in the football team, I can't stand it without football,"

An athlete..Brilliant!

"There is a free spot you know...The Quarterback. I could introduce you to Gerald! He's one of the team. I'm a cheerleader by the way," she added.

"That would be nice! A cheerleader? Don't tell me you waste your sweat jumping along the sidelines.. A gorgeous face like you could do something more worthwhile," he said as Lana was between annoyed and impressed.

"I hate cheerleading, my sister forced me into it," she lied as he gave a sigh of relief.

"Thought so. You seem far too sophisticated for a perky cheerleader," he said as she smiled. Sophisticated. She liked that.

"Who is your sister by the way?" he asked her as they reached the History classroom. They entered the room as he bagged a seat at the back and Lana bagged one next to him.

Inside, her heart was hammering. She had no sister, why couldn't she have said, parents?

"Yeah, who's your sister?" he asked as she laughed.

"Lila's in college. UCLA you know, in California. She rarely shows her face here," she lied again as he finally gave her his full attention.

"Really? I have a sister there too. Nina, she's a senior," he said. "Maybe they know each other?"

Uh-Oh. Messed up. Bigtime.

"Lila's a sophomore. She's a total nerd, she wants to do journalism and is a part of the chess club."

"Then why did she force you into cheerleading?"

A string of lies...There goes another..

"She doesn't want me to be an outcast like she was and stuff. I can't understand her, she's wierd," said Lana as he laughed.

"Mine too. She comes home once a year and brings these giggling friends of her's who treat me like a kid or something. She even tried to set one up with me..Yuck!" he said as she laughed.

"I'm Lana Weinberger by the way,"

"Tanner Love,"

He's Cute!

Mia Thermopolis along with Lilly Mascovitz and Tina entered the History classroom. Being the Student Council president paid off. She made sure there were less dances and more Animal Rights stuff. She twisted a strand of her dark brown hair nervously as she sat down behind Lana and some cute guy she was sucking up to.

"Can't she get a life?" Lilly asked Mia as she nodded.

"I know, she is so horrible,"

"Not that. She has every cute guy under her nose," Tina chimed.

"I thought you liked Boris?" said Mia in surprise.

"That doesn't make me stop appreciating a cute guy," said Tina as the three prepared to listen to the lecture.

"Who's that girl?" asked Tanner as Lana frowned.

"Which girl?" asked Lana as he pointed at Mia who was sitting in front of them.

"Oh Mia. She's such a freak. She's into Animal Rights and stuff and is like, the outcast," said Lana still frowning.

"Oh, Great! I like an intense girl," he said, his eyes lighting up. "Could you speak to her or something and set us up or something?" he asked.

Oh my god! He likes Mia Thermopolis.. Tanner Love LIKES Mia? What the hell do I do now.

"Sure. But I'm warning you, she's a total freak," said Lana as he only laughed.

"I like freaks," he said.

I thought he was flirting with me..Ugh!

"Oh, and why don't we meet up in The Coffee Bean, and discuss how I'll get her," he offered grinning.

Why not? You could fall for me then..

"Sure," she said putting on a false cheery voice.

His eyes lit up. "Thanks, you're a pal!" he said as she wanted to scream.

A pal? A PAL?
