Miley's POV
I stared at the two options, should I choose the black or the red.
"Which one should I pick Lilly?" I asked as I held the two dresses up to face her.
"The black one makes you look skinny but the other make you pop out. Don't you have one that's both?"
"No. But the red just says something to me." I cling onto the red dress as I dropped the black one onto my bed.
Memories flowed back into my head as I remembered the thoughts of the guy that had changed my world.
"That guy you keep talking about is going to be blown away Mi," Lilly said. Lilly has been my best friend since we started college together.
"It's been ten years Lil," I reminded her as I thought of him, "he's probably dating someone or married."
"Or gay," she asked as I glanced over to look at her.
"Lillian Truscott, this is no time to joke about that matter."
I met Nick during my junior year in high school. I was the new girl in town and Nick was the football jock. We weren't at all friends even though I've just move next door to his home.
One science project changed it all. One month after becoming a Sea View high school sophomore I became his science project partner.
"Everybody settle down now," Mr. Corelli announced as he pulled a list from his desk.
"I'm going to tell you who your partner is, so be quiet until I finish," he continues in his unusually deep booming voice.
"Johnny you're with Sarah." As he continues the list narrows down and I was secretly wishing that I don't end up with Mr. Jake Ryan.
"Miley you're with Nick." That was not the end of it. Nick and I have barely ever had a talk with one another until that fateful day.
We soon became close friends, and he convinced me try out for the cheer leading squad. "You should try out for the team Miley you're wasting too much of your time smiling. You should try out for the team."
That was the first time me gave me advice and the first time that I felt connected with him. I eventually did will a little push from him and I made it.
That was just the start of it all. Jake Ryan, the so-called zombie slayer, started trying to ask me out; along with a group of other guys that I thought was cute.
Nick soon became like an older brother to me. We were always together after the science project has ended and he became the person that protected me from the guys trying to ask me out. Soon every guy that I was in contact with avoided me once I came in near distance of them.
I never found out had happen to them but I grew suspicion that somehow Nick was involved.
Once junior year had ended my relationship with Nick ended. Senior year passed by with exams and the next big step: COLLEGE.
Although most of my senior year involved applications and a pen my relationship with Nick evolved.
Since the day Nick became my best friend I've always felt that we had something more with each other.
As graduation day nears the secret crush had turned into an undying flame of impatience.
Those memories end when Lilly shook me back into reality. "Miley let's go the reunion is about to start in an hour."
As I drove down the road I haven't been through in 10 years more memories started flashing back. The good times I enjoyed with Nick were probably the best memories of my life. I enjoyed every single moment I had with Nick and I will never forget how important he was in my life
"So this is your new car, huh," I said as Nick took me to his driveway to show me his new Mustang. Nick once had told me that if he had straight As on his report card that his parents would get him the new Shelby Mustang. You would think that Nick was the typical dumb jock but he wasn't. He maintain a great GPA and played a great football season.
"She's beautiful isn't she, just like you," he said making me blush a little. Nick always knew just what to say to make me smile, and although he kept teasing me about it, I was secretly happy that he did.
"So do you want to take this from a spin Nick?"
"Hell yeah," he replied, quickly bolting to the other side to open the door for me.
As he got in and buckled his seatbelt I asked him where we were going. The last place I thought he would drove us too was back to school.
"Driving us back to school, I forgot something. After that it'll be a surprise."
"What next, the library?" I added, thinking of the worst possible place after school.
"You should know by now I'm not a bookworm."
I stopped the car in front of Sea View High and parked it in the front entrance parking lot.
We entered the decorated gym that suddenly reminded me of senior prom.
Nick and I were always together but we were not always alone. We were always with his football buddies who became mine, or we would be with his family or with my father. I spent a lot of the free time I had with his family which made me realized how lucky I was to have Nick in my life. I didn't want to lose that.
I kept telling myself that senior prom was going to me the night that I told him how I felt about him. Whether he was going to accept or reject me I knew our relationship would never be the same once I told him about how I've always felt about him. Senior Prom was just how I imagined it to be when Nick led me into the gym. I was suppose to bring a date to the dance but I ended up going with Nick once I realized the couple of guys that asked me out started avoiding me since the day I told Nick about them.
That night start out as fine until the DJ announced it was time to reveal the prom King and Queen.
As I was about to blurt out my inner feelings to Nick I heard his name announced. "Nick Gray is our Prom King everybody."
He ran up to the stage and every guy started chanting his name. "Now for our Prom Queen is… Miley Stewart."
I gave up after that night although the flame within me only grew once we danced together.
Lilly stayed close by my side as I introduced her to some of the people I befriended ten years back.
"Wow Miley how many people do you know? You've introduced me to like half of the 2010 graduating class."
I looked over at her and saw she was looking around for awhile until her eyes stop for well over five seconds. "You should have introduced me to that cute guy over there."
I looked in the direction she was pointing at and immediately knew who it was. "Joey!"
He turned his head until he was directly looking at me. He walked over and unfolded his arms and placed them over my waist. "My little sister is back in town." After about fifteen seconds of hugging he released me from the hug that has always comforted me when I was down. . "What are you doing here? You're not a Class of 2010."
"That is no way to speak to your big brother," he chuckled. I started laughing when I started to remember he was always the joker.
"The school wanted me to come and do some of my comedy. I mean I was the class clown."
His eyes glanced over and faced Lilly. "And you are?" he said in a mannered and mild tone.
"Lilly this is Joe. Joe this is my best friend."
"Well hello Lilly. Miles Nick isn't going to be happy that you found yourself a new best friend."
I blinked as Joe mentioned Nick's name. "Where is he by the way?"
Joe turned over and pointed in the direction I was facing. As people were walking in different directions I saw able to see the back of the head of the man of my dreams.
He turned over and our eyes were connected. I walked over to him slowly. I didn't want to seem too anxious, but he saw me coming and his whole face lit up.
"Miley," he smirked, revealing the smile that I was oh so familiar with.
Remember the NJK Awards has started and so has the Next Biggest Star Competition.
