A/N: Thanks so much for the reviews!
Here in the shell of a sun
we echo on
Left alone forever
All alone together
—Vertical Horizon, Won't Go Away
Monday, September 7, in the limo on the way to the Plaza
This day keeps getting worse. Lars refused to tell me what is going on at least three dozen times, I failed a pretest in American Government, and I don't even know why they're making me take that class in the first place. And now Lilly is forcing me to come over to her place after princess lessons and help her tape a segment on her show—Why Should Celebrities Be The Center Of Attention While Millions Of People Are Starving To Death?—while her brother is in the apartment. Quite possibly, I will have to walk by him and even say hi.
And I don't know how I will be able to without jumping him.
Or smelling his neck.
Or breaking down and begging to be forgiven and promising to be his love slave, like that woman in the made-for-television movie about a waitress who kissed her boyfriend's brother at their mother's wedding.
Lilly says he'll be visiting some friends, but I don't believe her. She lies when it comes to things like this. I think she's trying to torture me endlessly while taping it and calling it "In Which Princess Mia of Genovia's Heart Gets Ripped into a Million Pieces While Being Forced to Share an Apartment with My Brother."
I'm just saying that's something she would do.
Anyway, I'm intending to find out what Lars is planning. If my grandmother is involved, I will seriously kill myself. Ugh, we're here.
