Mia—Where’s your journal????
I don’t want to talk about it.
Oh. Okay. I’m sorry!
No, I’m sorry. That was rude. It’s just—Principal Gupta took it away. Because my grades are slipping.
Oh, Mia! That’s terrible!
No, it’s not. It’s my own fault. I’m not supposed to be passing notes, either. All of the teachers are supposed to take away anything they see me writing on that’s not class-related. So look out.
We’ll be careful,, then. Anyway, I wanted to say—that was kind of weird yesterday at lunch, huh? I didn’t know you and Lana had become such good friends! When did that happen? I mean, if you don’t mind me asking?
No, it’s okay. I should have told you. I just felt weird about it. I know she’s been really mean to you in the past, and I didn’t—well, I just didn’t want you to hate me.
Mia! I could never hate you! You know that!
Thanks, Tina. But you’re the only one.
What are you talking about? No one could ever hate you!
Uh…A lot of people hate me, actually. And Lilly REALLY hates me.
Oh. Well. LILLY. You know why she hates you.
Right. Your J.P. theory. Which is wrong. Anyway, I’m supposed to give this speech at the end of the week for this charity function Lana’s mother’s in charge of, and one thing led to another, and…she really isn’t that bad, you know. I mean, she’s BAD. But not AS BAD as we previously thought. I think. Do you know what I mean?
I think so. At least, when she says snarky things, it seems like she just doesn’t know better rather than, like, that she means to be hurtful.
I know. Kind of like Lindsay Lohan.
Exactly! Still. I don’t think Lilly’s too happy about it.
What do you mean? Did she say something about me?
Well, she doesn’t speak to ME anymore, either, since I’m friends with you, so no, she didn’t say anything to me. But I saw her giving you dirty looks across the caf.
Oh, yeah. I saw those, too. I—
