So I got another love-card today.

It was actually a bit more of a shock than the first one. I mean, yeah, I didn't know if and when I would get another, but I certainly didn't expect one the next day!

But hey, you don't see me complaining.

This one read:

Roses are red

But cherries are redder

Maybe she can clone fruit flies

But I like you better.

How many times does it need to be said? Judith and I are not a couple!

(Sigh)

Oh well.

I think I'm going to start a band.

Once all this craziness is over with, I think I'm going to start a band.

Because of Mia's great reaction (or lack-of-laughing reaction), I think I've grown a lot more confident with the idea of playing for others.

I discussed the idea with Felix and he took to it (as Felix does) merely saying, "Sounds cool. I'm in."

Apparently, Felix is an in-the-closed bass player.

S'pose there's a bit of a musician in all of us, eh?

But back to the chaos at hand.

Because of Judith's far-fetched idea of winning Mia's heart, I'm hardly ever home anymore, either at her house or the library (perhaps I can see where my secret admirer got the idea that Judith and I were seeing each other...)

Judith even convinced me to skip G&T.

Okay, fine, whatever, that class is a waste of time anyway...

But that's my class with Mia.

So I'm walking toward the library, praying that Mia will forgive me and that I won't get caught by some administrator.

Love pain is all Judith said.

Girls.

"So, Michael?"

Yes?

"What's new?"

What's new, you say?

"Yes."

Nothing really. Just the girl I'm in love with got suspended today.

Yeah. Mia Thermopolis, ahem, Princess Mia Thermopolis... got suspended today.

For what, you inquire?

For crushing Lana Weinberger's phone.

While I was a bit shocked, the phrase that ran through my mind was... Well... Lilly wanted Mia to be more assertive.

I wonder, though... what pissed Mia off so badly that she ruined Lana's phone?

I didn't get a card today.

I was a bit disappointed at that, but perhaps my admirer didn't think I'd get it, with all my runnings around with...

Oh, god.

What if my secret admirer thinks that Judith and I are really something and that there's no hope and they should just go crawl in a hole and die?

(Okay, okay, unlikely. But that's what I felt like when I found out about Mia and Kenny...)

My parents are worried, and they said so at dinner (when I was actually home for dinner).

Mom: Michael, we haven't seen you lately.

Dad: Yes, Michael. What have you been up to lately?

Me: (chew chew)

Lilly: (glare towards me) Well, I know one thing he's not doing.

Me: (rolls eyes)

Mom: And what's that, Lilly?

Lilly: Supporting the Students Against the Corporatization of Albert Einstein High School.

Dad: So what have you been up to, Michael?

Me: Dad... 'don't ask, don't tell'... remember?

Mom: (sighs) Yes, yes, I forgot... But remember, Michael...

Me: 'If you ever need guidance'... I know, Mom. I'll come to you.

Mom: (satisfied, albeit grudgingly) Okay.

Lilly: I need to go and call Mia.

Dad: Why?

Lilly: The administration is trying to keep her down. And I need to tell her that I sympathize with her suspension and to stay frim in her refusal to back down against her stand against the administration. Mia's act of courage is not unlike Mary, Queen of Scots, who was imprisoned and then beheaded by the genius yet oppressing Elizabeth I.

Me: All she did was destroy a cell phone. That hardly has anything to do with 'the administration'.

Lilly: (glare) I didn't think you would understand.

Me: Whatever. (stands up). Thanks for dinner, Maya. See you guys later.

(Parents look helplessly at each other)

Really, if there's anyone they should be worrying about, it should be Lilly, not me.

Today, though, was a good day. I got to talk to Mia (even though I missed G&T).

Noticing she was online, I typed:

CracKing: Hey, Thermopolis, what's this I hear about you getting suspended?

FtLouie: Just for one day.

CracKing: (playing dumb) What'd you do?

FtLouie: Crushed a cheerleader's cell phone.

I grinned at that. Man, I love this girl.

CracKing: You parents must be so proud.

FtLouie: If so, they've done a pretty good job of disguising it so far.

CracKing: So are you grounded?

FtLouie: Surprisingly, no. The attack on the cell phone was provoked.

CracKing: So you'll still be going to the Carnival next week?

Please please please please...

FtLouie: As secretary to the Students Against the Corporization of Albert Einstein High Shool, I believe my attendance is required. Your sister is planning us to have a booth.

CracKing: That Lilly. She's always looking out for the good of mankind.

You know... in her own delusional, psycho sort of way.

FtLouie: That's one way of putting it.

Apparently Mia thought so as well... yes, I knew there was a reason why I love her.

I wish we could've talked longer but Mia then wrote,

FtLouie: I gotta go. Mom wants the phone.

CracKing: Kay. See you tomorrow.

... That was the second time I asked about the Winter Carnival. I wonder if she's suspicious?

Notes: I'm on a roll this weekend! I've posted four chapters for my respective stories! Whoo-hoo!

All right, I highly recommend reading along with your copy of "Princess in Love" if you own it. It makes the story cooler because I added little things that Michael's wondering that correspondes to Mia's entries. So, yeah... it just makes the story much better, in my opinion. Because I'm re-reading the book as I'm writing the chapter.

Okay, so next update... hmmm. Um. Hopefully before November. But if not, within a month.

Please review—I want to know what you guys think! Don't be a ghost reader!

Thanks!
