A/N : I have enjoyed writing my trilogy of PD stories and you might be pleased to hear that I do plan to write a fourth one soon, but before that I wanted to try something different. The film version of the Princess Diaries became available to buy on video in the UK, last week and as I watched it (again) I decided there was a fic I wanted to write based on the movie. People have written many Michael POV's of different parts of the books, so I thought I would try and write a Michael POV based on the movie. I'm not sure how well this is going to work, but I'm going to give it my best shot. I don't know how easy it will be for me to write a male POV, or how easy it will be to turn Michael's movie role into a proper story, but like I said, I'm going to do my best and I hope you enjoy reading it.
I would like to say a quick thanx to all the people who reviewed any or all of the chapters of the three fics in my trilogy and I hope you don't mind waiting for the fourth story. I also hope you enjoy reading this fic as much as you enjoyed my others.
(Btw, I have made up the days that the events happen unless they are specified).

Dear Diary......Yeah right, like I'm really the kind of guy who keeps a diary!
It's all my parents idea, because they're psychoanalysts, and they think I don't 'share my emotions' enough (their words not mine) and they think I should write them down if I'm going to refuse to talk about them.
So, here goes. Right now, I'm thinking, 'Thank God I'm a senior!' One more year of Grove High School and then I am gone! Of course there's a down side to that. I mean, I do have some friends there that I'll miss when I'm at college, friends like Mia. Well, actually, Mia is my little sister Lilly's best friend, but I hang out with them sometimes and she's pretty cool (Mia that is, not my sister). I guess I sort of like Mia. Okay, okay I admit it, I really like her, probably more than I should, but hey, it's not a crime is it?!
Unfortunately this beautiful, smart, funny, wonderful girl that I am head over heels for is far more interested in Josh Bryant. What a jerk! He's tall, he's blond and apparently he's every young girls dream guy - I don't see the attraction! Okay, so maybe I'm a little jealous, but Mia doesn't know what he's like. I do, and he is far from perfect.
Anyway enough about that, I've got to get to school. (I still can't believe my parents talked me in to this whole diary thing. Has it escaped their notice that I'm not a twelve year old girl!)
Later, at school...
Mia looked great this morning, she always does, and I just don't understand why no-one else can see it. I over heard her telling Lilly that some guy sat on her today because he didn't even notice she was there. The guy must have been blind!
I was just leaning on my locker watching her this morning, while she completely ignored the rest of the world and kept her eyes fixed on Josh 'my-hair-is-the-most- important-thing-in-the-world-to-me' Bryant. Seeing him and his ditzy girlfriend Lana, doing what they do, is enough to make anybody feel sick, especially when you know they are only going out with each other to keep themselves popular.
Anyway, Jeremiah, this guy who likes Lilly, was trying to show me his latest magic trick and I really wasn't paying attention. Not that I feel guilty about it, I mean come on, we're talking Mia Thermopolis here! She is like the most incredible girl in our school! I can't understand why I'm the only one who see's it.
Later, after school...
Lilly is totally hacked off about Mia. Apparently they had this debate class today and Mia had to make a speech. Now, don't get me wrong, I love the girl, but making speeches is not her thing. She gets so nervous, it's really kind of cute but unfortunately it goes beyond cute nervousness and she ended up puking before she even started talking. Lilly's mad that their argument wasn't heard but, let's face it, no-one would've listened anyway. Not when the other side of the argument was being voiced by, yep, you've guessed it, Josh. That guy is the centre of all that is wrong with High School, and no, I am not just saying that because Mia likes him better than me, well, maybe a little, but he is such a jerk. Apparently as well as being the only guy who can see all the good in Mia I am also the only one to see all the bad in Josh. Never mind, Lilly will get over her being mad and make up with Mia which is good for me because once they are getting along again, Lilly will invite Mia over to our place and I'll get to spend some time with her. I know, it's sad that I'm excited at the prospect of spending a few hours in the same room as my sister's friend but what can I say, love does strange things to you.
A/N : I hope that wasn't too awful. Please review and tell me what you thought and if I get enough positive comments I will post more soon.
