Okay, this is my first FanFic, so try not to flame me too bad please :). This is all told in Mia's Diary. Hope you like it! Hopefully as the chapters go on, the story will get better.

August 29 The Loft
I woke up today, the first day of my senior year, feeling horrible. My stomach made a gurgling sound then I quickly ran to bathroom and threw up. Aaaaggggghhhhh, just my luck, I'm going to miss the first day of my senior year.
I went downstairs to the kitchen and found my mom and Mr. G making out. Ew. Though they've been married a few years, I still can't get used to calling him Frank or to seeing them frenching.
I started to tell my mom about how crappy I was feeling when my stomach made the sound again and I had to run to the bathroom to puke, again. My mom came in and rubbed my back. She said it would be good for me to stay home today, (Like I would go to school and take the chance of up-chucking all over someone. Well, unless it was Lana.) and that she would ask Frank to pick up my schedule and any assignments. Ughh, assignments.
Noon-ish The Loft
A few hours later and a lifetime movie I was feeling a tad better, not enough to eat yet though. While I was watching Awake To Danger with Tori Spelling, I had to throw-up again. I think it might have been the Chinese food last night; we just had to try the new place. Ah the joys of food poisoning. Michael called later on to see what my classes were. I told him that unfortunately I wasn't able to go, due to puking up everything I've ever eaten. He said he would bring me some vegetable soup when he could. That's so sweet of him! Even if I probably won't be able to eat it.
I love Michael so much, but sometimes I wonder if the spark is still there. I mean when we first started going out it was absolutely great and I loved every second of it, but now when we're together my mind wonders to other things. All Michael talks about is computer engineering, which is his major in college. Computer engineering just isn't all that exciting for me. He used to be in a band, but it didn't work out.
He's become kind of square, if that makes sense. He never wants to do anything fun. It's like all we do is go to his apartment or to this cyber café… which is not my kind of place. All the people there do is drink coffee and talk about how good their computers are. I always end up saying something stupid that makes all of them look at me like I'm computer illiterate, which I am... Example, the other day a girl who totally has the hotts for Michael, I think her name is Paige, asked me, "What kind of processor do you like better, AMD or Intel." I was fed up with them, so I gave a sarcastic answer, "I prefer AMD because it's quicker to spell." Everyone laughed… The café girl looked at Michael than winked at him. He blushed a little; I was kind of pissed off. Stuff like that happens a lot with his café people. Ooooh, Golden Girls is on.
8PM The Loft
Well I think the vomit is out of my system. I still feel a little light headed, but loads better than before. Michael brought me some soup around dinner time and I managed to eat some. We talked a little then he had to go, he told me we'd do something this weekend. Uggh please no more of the cyber café…
Mr. G brought home my schedule, it's not too bad. Lilly called to compare, just like we do every year. We have the same lunch and we're in Gifted and Talented together. I'm kind of excited to go tomorrow. Since I missed the first day, I don't have to deal with all the jocks saying "Oh my god, dude you will not believe how many chicks I scored with!", the talk about crazy parties, and the scared freshman. I decided that maybe the food poisoning was good luck, (but it's still gross…) and that now I'm going to have a great year. After all, it is my senior year.
August 30 Science Class
Well I'm here in my science class; so far the day hasn't been too bad. This is my last class of the day, then I'm home free… I've been assigned a lab partner, Jackson Taft, he is surprisingly good looking. He is really tall, even taller than me which is hard to believe. He has dark brown hair and light blue eyes, which suits him really well. Also he puts the messy hair look to good use.
The teacher talked for like ever, and now he is passing around chemicals so we can get a feel for what the year has in store for us. The Jackson guy next to me seems to be kind of . Uh oh the teacher is looking.
Detention
Yes, I'm in detention. During class while I was filling out an information card, Jackson handed me this test tube and asked me to hold it, I thought he was trying to get something out of his pocket or something. I wasn't really paying any attention, like usual. He said, "watch this" I made a grunting noise, because I thought he was going to do something guy-ish like throw a spit wad at a nerdy guy. He poured a different test tube in the one I was holding, and then it started fizzing. It got all over my school uniform and left a yellow stain… The teacher looked over and saw me holding it and Jackson's empty test tube and then said, "Thermopolis, Taft, detention the rest of the week, no complaints."
So now I'm here still sitting next to Jackson who has a smirk on his face. We had a conversation that went something like this:
"Amelia Thermopolis, I'm sorry I got you in trouble."
"You better be" I said
"Admit it though, it was kind of funny."
"Not in the least."
"You're so up-tight, loosen up."
"What the heck is your problem? You get me in detention and now you insult me. Jeez,
you're such an ass."
"Ah, I'm happy you like me so much. Ya know, we still have three more days of detention together, and a whole year of science."
"Oh, I can't wait."
I can't believe this guy, he thinks he is so cool. Ugh… I'm going to put my time in here to good use and try to get some sleep.
15 minutes later
Jackson started humming, so I lightly threw a pen at his head, the teacher looked up from his magazine, (the magazine was hidden behind a book, but It was totally visible) and said, "Jackson Taft stop screwing around or it's another week of detention. I laughed then the teacher said, "Same goes to you Thermopolis." Jackson looked at me and smiled.
September 1
Michael came over today and we talked about me going to the same College as him. I want to, but than again I don't. It's already hard enough making up excuses to not have sex with him when we're alone in his dorm room, but imagine when we both have our own dorm rooms and no one around to interrupt.
It's not that I don't want to have sex with Michael, I'm just waiting for the right moment. Practically four years and we still haven't had that moment, but if we're meant to be than we'll get it. Losing my virginity is big to me, I just don't want to lose it to please my boyfriend. I do feel bad though, I know he wants to but I would rather wait than regret it.
School has gotten intense and it's only the fourth day. Detention with Jackson the past two days has been interesting. Today he made two origami swans and made them have a conversation, it was actually really funny, but I didn't laugh out loud, because he would think I liked having detention with him and I definitely do not.
September 2
Well I have another week of detention on my shoulders. I don't regret it though, it was actually kind of funny. What happened was Mr. Gibson said, "Alright I have to go to the teachers lounge to make some copies. If when I come back and I hear so much as a peep, or if any of you have moved at all, that's another week of detention."
When the teacher left, Jackson took out a piece of paper and made a paper airplane, though it wasn't just any paper airplane. I've never seen a paper airplane look that cool. He said, "Come here, watch this." With that we got up and went over to the window. He opened it and sent the airplane gently gliding. It flew pretty far, until it hit some kid in the head. He pulled me down, so we were both crouching underneath the window. I started laughing hysterically, then he joined in.
We started talking about ourselves, school, music, and a lot of other things. It was really fun, I haven't been able to talk to someone so freely in a long time. He just moved here from Las Vegas about two months ago, his girlfriend didn't like the idea of a long distance relationship, so she broke up with him. I told him about Michael and how he's been being a jerk lately, Jackson said I should talk to him about it. Which I I know I should, it's just I know Michael will blow it off.
I took out my ipod and we listened to it, I was surprised that Jackson knew a lot of the songs, we started to sing Another One Bites the Dust. I was beginning to think the teacher left for the weekend or something, when he came in with a coffee in his hands and no papers… He said, "Alright, you guys knew the rules. That's another week of detention for you both."
So I started on my math homework, and Jackson started drawing in his notebook. And, as weird as it seems, I'm actually looking forward to next week's detention with Jackson Taft.
So that was the first chapter of Ruined Relations. I hope you liked it! And don't forget to review :).
Special thanks to Melissa!
Much love,
