Chapter 8 JustA Friend

Mia's POV

I went to Michael's room and picked up the phone. Nervous, I dialed Tina's phone number. After 5 beeps, she still didn't pick up the phone and her voice on the said:" Hi it's Tina. I'm not home right now. Please leave a message and your phone number and I'll call you back ASAP."

Looks like she's still ignoring me. "Hi Tina. It's me Mia. Look, don't delete this, this is important. I'm really really sorry for all the trouble I caused between us. I really want us to make up. I need your support now more than ever Tina. I really do. We really shouldn't let a guy get between us. Well I'm at the Michael's and I think you know his phone number."

I hanged up and at that exact moment, the door opened up. Michael came in and asked," So, how'd it go?"

"Bad."

"She didn't talk to you?"

"No. She's ignoring me. But I left a message."

"Well that's better than nothing."

"Where's your sister Lilly?"

"Apparently, she's still not home yet. Go figure, and she was supposed to be the responsible one."

I covered my mouth and yawned.

"Oh you must be tired. After all that you been through and all. Here, you can sleep on my bed until dinner time."

I nodded and muttered thanks and went straight to sleep. The last thing I remembered was Michael covering me with a blanket and said," You're welcome Mia, you deserved it. Sweet dreams."

I woke up to a pleasant voice calling to me," Mia? Mia! Mia, wake up. Dinners ready."

Michael...

Oh my god! Michael!

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and said," Already?"

He chuckled and said," Yes, did you have a good sleep?"

"Yes, it was awesome. Especially when your bed feels so soft... oh my god!" I quickly covered my mouth.

"Well thanks for the compliment," He replied sarcastically.

"Your welcome good sir."

"Well, madam," He cleared his throat and said with a bow," Dinner is served," and offered his hand. I took it and try to walk graciously but obviously failed and tripping right in front of this girl.

"Lilly!" Michael all of a sudden squeaked - he looked so cute when he squeaked! - ,"What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing here? Excuse me, but I live in this house too you know. Who is this? Your new girlfriend?"

"No no no, I have no idea what you are talking about. She's just my friend."

"Hi, I'm Lilly. Nice to meet you. What's your name?"

"M-Mia," I finally managed to squeaked out.

"Mia? The Mia?" I saw Michael rolled his eyes.

"Um..."I saidnot paying any attention to her as she kept talking.

"... he has a crush on you..." Michael at that point seemed very nervous and quickly covered his sister's mouth. I don't know what he didn't want me to know about his crush-

HIS CRUSH ON ME? Could this possibly be true?

But then I remembered that I'm just a friend. Just a friend. That's what I mean to him. Just a friend. I can't believe I actually thought he might like me for a second. Just thinking about this makes my head hurt. I don't think I can take this.

Then, as if my invisible self took over, I quickly got up and ran out the door to the subway. I heard Michael call, "Mia! Wait up!"

But unfortunately, it's closed due to some repairing and would be opened tomorrow. Oh great. Of all the times I can figure out that I'm a princess and that Michael hates me, it just had to be today. I can't go home and Tina's not talking to me.

This is going to be a long night.

Thanks for all the great reviews you guys. Sorry this took so long and it's so short. But I'm pretty busy lately with HP coming out and you know, volunteering...
