I know, I should be shot. That's all I have to say about not updating in so long, oh and school's a bitch.
Thank you to all the people who still reviewed my fanfic even when I hadn't updated in so long! And also thank you to the people who reviewed chap 7.
This is for all you reviewers out there :).
This chapter takes place a little under two month later than the last.
11pm, June 10 The Loft
holy crap... I'm officially a high school graduate. Yes, I have endured the three and a half hour graduation ceremony. It was painful, they had a whole slide show of my time at Albert Eienstein H.S.
After 10 minutes of showing pictures that I would rather die than have my own mother look at, it said in gigantic pink wavy letters:
"We will miss our very own Princess Amelia."
I felt like jumping off The Manhattan Bridge. But it made my mom happy, so what could I do?
So after the graduation, I went over to Lilly's house.
Mr and Mrs Moscovitz left town right after our graduation and about a thousand pictures, so they could attend a psychology lunch-in in Chicago the next day.
Lilly and I had a party under the works. I was really excited, this party had been in the making since Lilly and I realized how much we both hated school in the 7th grade.
When we found out her parents were leaving for the night, we about jumped for joy.
We had all the necessary goodies: chips, pretzels, beer, and music. Lilly and I locked all the bedrooms and her parents office, we also hid all the valuables in her room. Basically the plan was fool proof.
People started showing up around 7.
About half of the graduating class showed up, and a lot of underclassmen.
Even Michael was there...
I saw him in the kitchen looking at a bag of chips. He didn't see me, but he called out to Lilly, "Hey Lil, you know these chips expired 6 days ago?"
Lilly looked annoyed then said,
"Well then don't eat them."
Michael shrugged then shoved a handful in his mouth.
He turned around to leave the kitchen then saw me filling the cooler with ice.
He said with a mouth full of chips,
"Hey... wanna beer?"
I said sure, and then he left in search for the keg.
It had bad idea written all over it, but I figured a beer couldn't hurt too much.
Then I felt someone tap my shoulder, I turned around to see Jackson standing there looking really uneasy, I could tell he was a tad drunk.
"Hey." he said, "do you know where another bathroom is? Someone's been in that one fur like ever and there's a huge line."
I thought for a second then said, "Um, well I guess I could take you to her parents bathroom."
"That'd be great."
"Okay, just let me go grab the key."
I went in search for the key, which isn't easy when there's an apartment full of drunk teenagers. Finally I found it on top of the fridge, then I ran into Michael, he handed me a beer and said with his award winning smile,
"That'd be $8.95."
"Haha very funny. Thank you. Excuse me for a minutes I need to show someone to the bathroom."
I went and found Jackson then said,
"Okay padawan, come follow me."
I took him to Lilly's parents room, and waited for him to get done (I didn't want him getting lost in there).
He came out and said with a giant smirk,
"I feel a billion times better."
He came and sat next to me on the bed.
He leaned over and kissed my cheek, then said, "Thanks Mia."
Even though he was a little drunk, when he said my name my heart flipped a little.
I said, "Well let's go back to the party, we don't want people wondering where we are."
"Why? Would that be bad?" he said with a grin.
"Well, not exactly, but I'm helping Lilly host this party, so I don't um, want her to fly it solo."
He whispered in my ear,
"I don't think she'll mind."
Then he leaned over to kiss me, but before he could get to that, Michael walked in.
"Showing someone to the bathroom, huh?" he said.
I got up off of the bed and said,
"Well I'm going to go um, help, uh Lilly fill the chip bowl..."
Then I left before I could say anything stupider.
Lilly and I ended up doing karaoke.
We sang the song Brandy by Looking Glass. We knew all the words since we have a thing for one hit wonders... it was quiet interesting.
We received a standing ovation, but only because everyone was already standing up.
Still, it was really fun.
Jackson came up to me and said,
"That was brilliant."
"Thank you, I've been waiting my whole life to be able to sing that song in front of everyone. It was my secret ambition."
He laughed then said,
"Hey, well, uh, tomorrow I'm going to Long Island to get a car part from my uncle. Would you like to come with me? We'll be back before midnight."
"Hmmmm..."
"Come on, it will be fun, I'll buy you a souvenir."
I looked at him for a minute then said,
"Well that's an offer I can't refuse. I just need to ask my mom in the morning."
"Great. Well I'm gonna go, I'll call you in the morning."
Then he left...
I don't get that man. Why does he so much not want us to be together, but then act like he wants us to?
Ugh.
Before I left I kind of had a moment with Michael.
I was leaning against the wall in Lilly's living room, looking at my watch waiting for Tina to get out of the bathroom so we could leave together. Anyways, I saw Michael looking at me from across the room, he was also leaning against the wall.
He waved to me, and I waved back, then he smiled at me... and I couldn't help but blush a little and smile back.
He looked really good looking and not like the guy I caught having sex in the shower. He was only there because Lilly asked him to make sure nothing bad happened. I thought it was kind of sweet how he came and helped out his little sister.
Finally Tina came out of the bathroom a little tipsy and gave me a ride home.
All in all, it was a very eventful night.
And that was chapter 8 :)
