Michael's POV

"Michael Moscovitz, why are you SUCH a PIG!!"

My, ahem, lovely little sister Lilly was presently stomping around the room and flinging my garments of clothing towards me.

Oh crap, I had managed to enrage her again. I should have really gotten an award or something by now.

"Problem, little sis?"

Whoa. If looks could kill, I would never make it to my eighteenth birthday. Ouch. The look that Lilly shot me was made of pure venom.

"Ha Ha. You are SO humorous. Now will you kindly take all your crap and move it to the cave you call a bedroom?!"

I looked around. My "crap" consisted of two t-shirts and a pair of pants that were slung casually over the maroon couch. And my notebook that was sitting underneath the chair. Well, that's where they were, until Lilly deftly threw them all at me in a mad rush to tidy up the apartment.

"Where's the fire, Lilly? Why all the cleaning?"

Lilly muttered under her breath. From her furious conversation with herself, I managed to grasp a few phrases including, "I knew YOU would forget" and "you better not screw this up"

What had I forgotten? Oh was this a weekend broadcast of Lilly Tells It Like It Is or something? My parents had gone to some party tonight. Maybe Lilly was taking advantage of the empty house by doing a special report on subliminal messages of male supremacy in toothpaste ads or something.

Okay, so that was a little harsh. Seriously, Lilly's show is pretty cool. Sometimes.

"So Lilly, enlighten me. What have I forgotten?"

Lilly snarled. Wow, she was sure in a bad mood. Tonight's broadcast would be a bitter one indeed.

"Do you remember when Mom and Dad decided that I never did anything remotely "teenage-girl" and that I wasn't "being myself and living up to my full potential"?"

I nodded and rolled my eyes. Of course my psychoanalyst parents would say something like that.

She took a deep breath and rattled on, "And that they thought, Oh wouldn't it be nice if I had some friends over?"

Ohhh. I remember now. She was supposed to have some friends over tonight to give facials and gossip about boys and whatever else teenage girls do best.

Wait. Friends over...would that mean...?

I tried to sound casual, but my heart was pounding in my chest, "Oh, right. So some of your friends are coming over? Who's coming?"

Lilly cast her eyes upward and counted on her fingers, "Umm....well Mia, of course, and Tina, Shameeka and this girl from my Bio class, Nathalie."

Holy crap. Mia was coming over tonight. To sleep. Lilly looked at me strangely so I choked up a strangled reply, "Oh that's...nice. When are they getting here?"

Lilly glanced at the clock, "well Mia should be here any minute. But Tina, Shameeka and Nathalie shouldn't be here for another half hour."

Any minute? Dammit!

"So are you going out tonight, by any chance?" Lily inquired hopefully of me.

I grinned, I am SO glad that I decided to stay in tonight to work on Crackhead. "No sis, I am here to stay. But maybe you're right. Wouldn't want to get in your way. Might as well go to my room." I walked off, resisting the urge to jump in the air and whoop.

I could feel Lilly watching me leave. I'm sure that if I turned around, her face would be contorted in a look of confusion and disgust. That's why I don't think I'm gonna turn around.

Mia's POV

Okay. So tonight I'm going over to Lilly's to spend the night. Lars is going to escort me there, obviously, but I badgered him and Grandmere enough to just let me stay there by myself and for him to pick me up bright and early tomorrow morning for princess lessons.

Groan. I hate princess lessons.

But that's not for another 15 hours. Right now I have to concentrate on getting my stuff ready for the night. Hmmm....PJs, toothbrush, toothpaste and...

Rrrrinnnggg!

The phone rang so loudly and shrilly that I jumped. I reached for the purple receiver and held it to my ear, "Hello?"

I was greeted with the anxious voice of my best friend, Lilly Moscovitz, "Mia! Where are you? You are still coming right? You are late! You BETTER be coming!"

I had to laugh. Lilly would never admit that she was nervous about the sleepover tonight, but it was so obvious. She wasn't used to doing this whole group party-type thing and I could tell that she was totally spazzing about it.

"Chill Lilly, I'm coming! Just getting my stuff together! What's up?"

I held the phone to my ear, raising my shoulder to support it from the bottom and used my newly free hand to zip up my duffel bag as Lilly spoke.

"...and I just found that Michael's going to be here and he's totally acting psycho...I think he may be doing drugs in his room or something..."

I dropped the duffel bag. Michael was going to be there? I figured he had some hot date or something. Oh. My. God. This was major. I bent over and picked up the duffel bag and spoke hurriedly to Lilly, "That's nice Lills, well I'm going to finish packing and I'll be right over, 'kay? See you in a few!"

I hung up the phone and my heart was beating so loudly that I was sure that Lilly could hear over in her apartment. I unzipped my duffel bag. If Michael was going to be there I had to make sure I had picked out the right clothes! Oh my God and...

...wait. Stop Mia! You have a boyfriend! Remember Kenny? Oh man. I need to stop thinking about Michael!

*SIGH*

I zipped up my bag again and tossed it over my shoulder. It's not that it matters that I have a boyfriend. It's not like Michael Moscovitz would EVER look at me THAT way. I'm just his kid sister's best friend.

No, I'm just his kid sister's tall, awkward, flat-chested, babyish best friend.

Who am I kidding?

Michaels POV

Man, Who am I kidding?

Mia has a boyfriend. A BOYFRIEND! And not only that, it's KENNY. Computer Club Kenny. Man he is such a PRICK. Always talking about Mia. His date with Mia. He kissed Mia. He put his arm around Mia.

I flopped down on my bed and started tossing a tennis ball up in the air. I watched the neon yellow ball go up and down.

It doesn't even matter that Mia has a boyfriend. Even if she didn't, she wouldn't look twice at him. He was just Lilly's big brother.

Man. That SUCKS.

**Ding Dong**

"MICHAEL! Can you PLEASE make yourself useful and answer the door! It's Mia"

I heard Lilly's shout from the next room and my heart skipped a beat. Mia was here. I jumped up and looked at myself in the mirror. I wore my crumpled gray t-shirt and black PJ pants. I swept my hair away from my face in a rugged, "windswept" looked and then mentally kicked myself. Man I'm such an idiot.

Walking to the front door, I steadied myself with a few breaths. I ran my hand through my hair one last time and flung open the door.

My breath caught in my throat.

Mia was standing there, a red duffel bag gracefully slung over her shoulder. She was wearing ordinary jeans and a dark blue turtleneck. Her hair was swept up in a ponytail and a few wavy locks fell freely around her face.

On anybody else, the clothes, the hairdo would have looked ordinary, but on her, WOW.

Mia was looking at me quizzically. Dammit, I was probably staring. I cleared my throat and mentally shook myself, "Hey Mia...C'mon in. Lilly is having some sort of emergency in her room and so I'm playing doorman."

She walked in and smiled, "Hey Michael, how's it going?"

God, she's beautiful.

"I'm okay. Bracing myself for Lilly's sleepover tonight." I grimaced.

She laughed. She has the most gorgeous laugh in the world.

I really wanted to just reach out and stroke her hair. Or just grab her in my arms and kiss her until the end of my days. But of course, I couldn't. She wasn't mine.

She was Kenny's. God he's so lucky. And I am SO bitter.

I really have to stop taking this Mia-breaks when I'm talking to her. She must think I'm going crazy because I keep staring at her and not talking. She must think I'm some sort of freak! AHH!

Mia's POV

Okay, Michael must think I'm such a FREAK! He keeps looking at me. I bet he's repulsed. I didn't have time to do anything special with my hair or clothes. Lars and Grandmere were yelling that I had to hurry up and get out of the apartment.

He is so gorgeous.

His hair always looks like he was just standing out in a storm. But in a good way. In a "I'm-so-handsome-but-I-don't-try" kinda way.

So not like Josh Richter, who was hot in a "I-spend-more-money-on-my-hair-than-most-spend-on-their-house" kinda way.

And Kenny, who wasn't all that handsome in any kinda way...

Wait! Stop! Bad Mia!

I am officially the WORST girlfriend in the world.

He just said that he was dreading the sleepover. Or something like that. Oh my God! He hates that I'm here!

Ok, chill Mia. He's just joking.

Laugh, Mia, laugh.

I laughed. Michael looks relieved. He probably thought I was going to faint or something. Probably from my freakishness.

Okay. Why is Kenny my boyfriend? All he does is try to kiss me, it's getting annoying. I should have never said yes...

I've always liked Michael. Always. He's just so...Michael. There is no way to describe him. He's smart and nice and funny. And not to mention, he has awesome abs.

But that's not even the point! Oh, it'll never happen though! I should stop obsessing!

Oh God. I need to say something. Fast. Now I'm staring!

"Oh, we won't be that bad!" Michael laughed.

Oh, I like him SO much more than Kenny...

Michael's POV

I hate Kenny.

He's such an idiot. I mean, he's a nice guy and everything, and he's pretty good with computers.

But, aside from that, he's a jerk.

And he doesn't deserve Mia.

"MICHAEL! What did you do with my best friend!?!!?!"

I flinched at Lilly's shrill call.

"Well Mia, I think that my darling sister is requesting your presence."

Mia nodded and smiled, "see you later Michael."

I nodded toward her and smiled. "Bye!"

I watched her walk away and sigh.

That had to be the most awkward conversation in the world.

I picked up the yellow tennis ball that I had been throwing around earlier and walked back to my room.

Wait a minute. What was that I heard coming from Lilly's room? What was Mia saying?

Holy crap.

Mia's POV

I walked into Lilly's room and my best friend had a reprimand ready.

"Okay. So you know that this is probably the most stressful day ever and you decide to be late! And THEN, you decide to chat it up with my doofus brother in the living room for ten minutes!"

She was fuming. "Calm down Lilly! I'm here, what do you need?"

"New parents."

She sighed and fell down into her beanbag chair. I laughed. She sighed.

"How was your date with Kenny?"

I cringed. I knew she was going to ask and I was dreading it.

"Well, we went to a movie that I couldn't care less about and he shoved his tongue to my throat when I didn't want him to."

Lily laughed, "I don't know why you don't break up with him."

I didn't know either. I sighed.

"I really should. I mean, I would so rather date...someone else."

Whoa. I almost told Lilly that I practically loved her older brother. That would totally freak her out.

Lilly's eyebrows rose. Unfortunately, nothing got by her, "Like who? For example..."

I rolled my eyes, "...just not Kenny. I really just don't think it's working out. I think I'll break up with him soon. I mean he's a perfectly nice guy, it's just that we're not...compatible."

Lilly laughed, "I'll get it out of you soon. But, that's fine for now. Because now, my friend, we have to open the chips and dip that my parents say is 'essential for every party.'"

I laughed and followed my best friend out of her room to her kitchen. I saw Michael retreating to his room and wave of disappointment washed over me.

Michael's POV

"...I think I'll break up with him soon. I mean he's a perfectly nice guy, it's just that we're not...compatible."

Holy crap. Mia didn't want to go out with Kenny anymore.

She wanted to go out with "someone else."

Someone else?

I'm someone else. Not her 'someone else' but, I was someone else.

God, I'm making my own head hurt.

It's not she likes me or anything. But at least she won't be going out with Kenny anymore.

"...we have to open the chips and dip that my parents say is 'essential for every party'"

Oh, crap, they were coming out. I dashed back to my room and caught one last glance at Mia, who was heading toward the kitchen with Lilly.

God I want her so badly.
