Hey!

So, if people like this fic, I appreciate if you review it! Please!

Okay, so in last chapter, I made you all happy (if you didn't like Rita, because I admit, there might be someone that likes her), and now, well, you all know what was with Rita… the reason why she wanted Michael.

Please R&R

Anyway, I will only declare one more thing: I only own the plot…

Still Friday

Mia's POV

I finished classes right now, I'm late for my date... err… meeting with Michael.

I'm sure he'll be there already waiting for me, I'm so late!

I'm running trough the corridors, leaving everyone looking at me oddly, like I'm a freak, like Lana used to say in High School.

But I'm not a freak! I'm going on a meeting with my ex-boyfriend! How odd is that? With my ex-boyfriend... And I have a boyfriend... John won't mind, right? I'm sure not!

I just turned around the corner, and Michael is already there. What do I say? That I'm sorry for being late right?

"Mia! Thought you weren't coming." He said when I got to my door.

"Sorry, I'm a little late, I had classes, and when we finished I still had to go to the library and..."

"It's okay," he cut me off. "Are you ready?" He looked at my clothes.

"Err..." I got a little embarrassed with him staring at my clothes, they were not clothes for a meeting... "Do you mind if I change?"

"No. Go on, I'll wait outside!"

"You sure you don't want to get in?"

"Are you sure?" What was he afraid of? It's not like he's going to be eaten!

"Come on," I turned to the door and opened it getting inside. I hold on the door for him to get in and when he was inside I closed it.

"So, this is your room with Lilly..."

"Yeah, ok, I'm just going to bathroom to get dressed." I said after choosing my clothes.

I left him in our room and closed the bathroom door. I got ready and looked in the mirror, I was not bad. I grabbed some blush and put it and painted my eyes slightly. I was ready.

I got out and Michael was looking at me and grinning.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"Oh, I was just thinking about something... so, are you ready?"

"I think so. Where are we going? I don't know nothing here, except for the restaurant Lilly took me the other day."

"We're going to a good coffee shop." He said before opening the door for us to get out.

When we were outside walking Michael stopped talking, and I didn't know what to say so I did the same as him. It was an awkward silence, a thing that didn't use to happen.

I realized, even though I may like him, as a friend, it won't be the same. We will always have our past in our present. And neither I nor he can forget about it.

We got to the coffee shop and he opened the door for me, which was really sweet. Once we were set, in a table and both of us sat, the waiter came and asked what we wanted to order.

Michael asked a coffee and a muffin and asked me what I wanted. I asked for a chocolate muffin and milkshake.

The waiter said it would take 5 minutes because chocolate muffins were still in the oven.

Once he was gone Michael said that this was the best place to eat muffins.

"I was with John the first time I came here." His face stopped smiling at John's name. I needed to stop talking about my boyfriend, or I would start to feel guilty to be out with Michael without telling him.

"So, did you talk to Rita?" Stupid me, I had to question him about her. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...

"We broke up." He interrupted my thoughts.

"You broke up?" I was not expecting them to break up... maybe give some time to think or so, but I didn't think they were going to break up.

"Yeah... I mean, she lied to me, only to get my pity and it wasn't all."

"What else did she do?" Even more!

"Well, she lied about her ex-boyfriend, only to get my pity, she wanted to date me... and show that she was better than you."

"What!" I asked shocked.

"Well, she thought that by dating your ex-boyfriend, she would be better than you..."

"She ruined our relationship because of a stupidity like that! That Bitch, I'm going to kill her! She's a fucking bitch, she has to ruin everything."

"Mia, it won't change the past... We already broke up, I already dated her, you're already with John..." he stopped here making a strange face.

"I know, but she... you're right..." He's right... it won't change the fact we're not together anymore.

"Mia, I'm sorry about everything that happened... that day we were in the movie and she kissed me, the day I took her to my house. And also for not being able to avoid the kiss she gave me at school, and to avoid her hitting you... I mean, for all that ever happened that hurt you."

He drank some of his coffee. "You know I loved you, and I never meant to hurt you, you know I'm not like that, hurting people, but it was something I couldn't avoid. And you know, the day you were gone to your house after seeing Rita there?"

I nodded.

"Well, she went there to say good bye and I didn't want you to think other things, I never got the opportunity to explain this well to you, but I want you to know that I never did those things on purpose."

"This year and the last ones, I believed that I hated you, I did it because I thought I could take away the pain of not having you by my side, and having to face Rita, but I admit, I likes Rita, not in that special way like I liked you, but in a way of good friends..." He continued.

"Maybe I was confused, maybe I wanted to get a substitute of you. Both ways, I think I shouldn't have hurt you like I did." I had no answer.

He wasn't being an ass, he was being quite nice, so nice that I wanted to forget everything that ever happened and ruined what we had. I felt like he was telling the truth, and he was being as true as he could, even though I haven't talk to him in few years, he's still able to tell me what he's feeling, and I admire him for it.

He kept talking. "This year, well, I've been an ass, and I shouldn't have talked to you like I did, or ignored you the first day I saw you... It isn't correct... Mia, do you think we can start all from the beginning?"

"I do, and believe me, I was sometimes stupid too. It wasn't all about you, sometimes it was some things in my mind, even if created in my imagination, and I didn't hear you when you wanted. I think that the end of our relationship it wasn't all because of you... there was some lack of communication you know?"

"I know..." We stopped talking. I had no idea what to tell him after starting all new.

"Thanks Mia."

"For what?"

"For talking to me today and telling what you knew even if I was such a stupid person." I felt myself blushing.

Michael's POV

That moment when she blushed the waiter interrupted and asked us if we wanted something else.

After that, I asked her why she was in Columbia.

"Oh, the other college wasn't very good. The persons I mean, I didn't have any good friends, only my roommate, and she wasn't all nice, only when she was feeling happy. And I had Lilly here, and John" I stopped smiling at his name and she noticed. "Sorry, I understand if you don't want to talk about him."

"No, it's not that. How is he? I don't see him since Thursday."

"He's fine, I think, I saw him yesterday, at the party."

"So, do you like Columbia so far?"

"Much better than the old college!" She looked truly happy to be in our college.

I looked at my watch and saw that I was late for my practice with the band.

"Mia, I'm late, I booked a practice with my band for today, I need to get going."

Her face lit up. "You still play?"

"Yeah!" I said proudly of myself. "Do you want to come?"

"Where?" She asked.

"To our practice."

"Can I go?"

"Come on over!" I grabbed her jacket and left some money on the table. She grabbed her wallet and started to search for coins. "Mia, I pay it!"

"No, let me..."

"No discussions!" I interrupted her before heading towards the door with her behind me.

Hope you liked it!

Chapter for my ill friend, hope you get better, TBFFE!

Oh, it was bigger thanks to her:)
