No, better. Did something happen between you and my brother? Because I saw him looking all furtive in the hallway just now.
FURTIVE? Furtive like how? Like he was looking for Judith Gershner to ask her out tonight????
No, more like he was looking for a pay phone. Why would he ask out Judith Gershner? How many times do I have to tell you, he likes you, not J.G.
He used to like me, you mean. Before I was forced to cancel our date tonight due to Grandmère forcing me to go to a ball.
A ball? Really. Ugh. But excuse me. Michael isn’t going to ask some other girl to go out with him tonight just because you can’t make it. I mean, he was really looking forward to going with you. Not just for concupiscent reasons, either.
REALLY????
Yes, you loser. What did you think? I mean, you guys are going out.
But that’s just it. We haven’t. Gone out yet, I mean.
So? You’ll go out sometime when you don’t have a ball to go to instead.
You don’t think he’s going to dump me?
Uh, not unless something heavy fell on his head between now and the last time I saw him. Guys with cranial damage can’t generally be held responsible for their actions.
Why would something heavy fall on his head?
I’m being facetious. Do you want to hear about my meeting, or not?
Yes. What happened?
They told me they want to option my show.
What does that mean?
It means that they will take Lilly Tells It Like It Is around to the networks to see if anybody wants to buy it. To be a real show. On a real channel. Not like public access. Like ABC or Lifetime or VH1 or something.
Lilly!!!! THAT IS SO GREAT!!!!
Yes, I know. Oops, gotta go. Wheeton’s looking this way.
Note to self: Look up words concupiscent andfacetious .
Friday, January 23, G & T
Lunch was just one big celebration today. Everyone had something to be happy about:
Shameeka, for making the cheerleading squad and striking a blow for tall geeky girls everywhere (even though of course Shameeka looks like a supermodel and can wrap both her ankles around her head, but whatever).
Lilly, for getting her TV show optioned.
Tina, for finally deciding to give up on Dave but not on romance in general and get on with her life.
Ling Su for getting her drawing of Joe, the stone lion, into the school art fair.
And Boris for just, well, being Boris. Boris is always happy.
You will notice that I did not mention Michael. That is because I do not know what Michael’s mental state at lunch was, whether or not he was happy or sad or concupiscent or whatever. That is because Michael didn’t show up to lunch. He said, when he breezed by my locker just before fourth period, “Hey, I’ve got some things to do, I’ll see you in G and T, okay?”
Some things to do .
I should, of course, just ask him. I should just be like, “Look, are you going to break up with me over this, or what?” Because I would really like to know, one way or the other.
