have a boyfriend? How come everybody I know has a boyfriend but me? When am I going to get a boyfriend?” but now you've got one, you aren't the least bit appreciative of him.'
    Even though what she was saying was true, I acted offended because I have been trying really hard not to let the fact that I
    am not in love with Kenny show.
    'That is so false,' I said. 'I completely appreciate Kenny.'
    'Oh, yeah? I think the truth of the matter is, you, Mia, simply aren't ready to have a boyfriend.'
    Boy did I see red after that remark.
    'Me?
    
    Not ready to have a boyfriend? Are you kidding? I've been waiting my whole life to have a boyfriend!'
    'Well, if that's true' — Lilly was looking very superior — 'why won't you let him kiss you on the lips?'
    'Where did you hear that?' I demanded.
    'Kenny told Boris, of course, who told me.'
    'Oh, great,' I said, trying to remain calm. 'So now our boyfriends are talking about us behind our backs. And you're
    condoning this?'
    'Of course not,' Lilly said. 'But I do find it intriguing, from a psychological point of view.'
    This is the problem with being best friends with someone whose parents, are psychiatrists. Everything you do is interesting to them from a psychological point of view.
    'Where I let anybody kiss me,' I exploded, 'is my business! Not yours, and not Boris's, either.'
    'Well,' Lilly said. 'I'm just saying, if Kenny did say what you say he said - you know, the L word - then maybe he said it because he can't express the depths of his feelings any other way. You know. Other than verbally. Since you won't let him, physically.'
    So I suppose that, technically, I should be thankful that Kenny chose merely to say the words 'I love you', rather than enacting them physically, which, God knows, might have actually have involved his tongue.
    Oh, God, I don't even want to think about it any more.
     
     
    Monday, December 7, Still Homeroom
    They just passed out the Final Exam schedules. Here is mine:
     
    FINAL EXAM SCHEDULE
    December 14 - Reading Day
    December 15 — Periods One and Two
    For me, that means the Algebra and English finals will be on the same day. But that's OK. I'm doing pretty good in English. Well, except for that sentence diagramming thing. As if I'll ever need to do that in my future role as princess of the smallest nation in Europe.
    Algebra, unfortunately, I am told I will probably need to know. DAMN!
     
    December 16 - Periods Three and Four
    World Civic. easy. I mean, Grandmere has told me enough stories about post-World War Two Europe for me to pass any test. I probably know more about it than the teacher. And PE? How can you give a Final in PE? We already had the Presidential Fitness Test (I passed everything but chin-ups).
     
    December 17 - Periods Five, Six, and Seven
    Gifted and Talented? No exam there. They don't give finals in classes that are basically study hall. That will be a snap. I have French seventh period. I do OK in oral, not so great in written. Fortunately Tina's in the same class. Maybe we can study together.
    But I have Bio. sixth period. That won't be so easy. The only reason I'm not flunking Bio. is because of Kenny. He slips me most of the answers.
    And if I break up with him, that will be the end of that.
    December 18 - Non-Denominational Winter Carnival and Dance
    The Winter Carnival should be fun. All the different school clubs and stuff are going to have booths, with traditional winter
    fare, like hot cider. This will be followed in the evening by the dance I am supposed to go to with Kenny. If he ever asks me
    to it, I mean.
    Unless, of course, I do the right thing and break up with him.
    In which case, I won't be able to go at all, because you can't go without a date.
    I wish Sebastiano would just hurry up and kill me already.
     
     
     
    Monday, December 7, Algebra

    FIRST - Evaluate exponents
