"Whoa, Miley, what's up with you?" Oliver asks as they sit for science.
"I am so tired, I haven't slept for two days, I'm afraid I might sleep walk again."
"Miley... you can't keep doing this. You need to sleep sometime, babe...uh... bee... sleep like a baby?... yeah." Lilly sighed as Oliver gives her a quizzical look.
"Yeah Lilly, but if I sleep at home I could tell dad his song stinks and if I sleep anywhere else I end up blabbing secrets. Ugghh," Miley slams her head on the table and mumbles, "it's hopeless."
"Not exactly. You could just sleep over at my house, right Miley?"
Miley lifts her head off the table, give out a nervous laugh, and whispers, "I'd rather take my chances with dad."
"What was that, Miley?" Lilly asks.
"Nothin'"
"Okay, well... It's perfect , I mean I know all your secrets already so you don't need to worry about that."
"Heh, yeah... no worries."
"Okay class settle down...and...SHUT UP!!!" Ms. Kunkle yells.
"Miley," Lilly whispers to the desk behind her, "are you okay? You aren't keeping something from me, are you?"
"Well, actu-"
"Miss Truscott! Miss Stewart! Do you have something you want to share with the class?"
"No Ma'am." the duo says in unison.
"Okay then... who can tell me the equation for photosynthesis...Miss Truscott?"
"Uh... you take a picture and you get it developed?" Lilly says and the class laughs at her answer.
"No, I am sorry. That's wrong... anyone else?" she asks and Oliver's hand shoots up. "Yes, Mr. Oaken?"
"That would be six carbon dioxide molecules plus six water molecules yields, along with sunlight, one glucose molecule plus six oxygen molecules."
After a few seconds for the shock to wear off and a few of the many gaping mouths to close, one of which including the teacher's, Ms. Kunkle says, " ye...yes, Mr. Oaken. Bravo."
"Doughnut say what?" Miley says and leans forward to Lilly, "what happened to Oliver? Something's terribly wrong in the world."
After the teacher explains the meaning behind the equation, the bell rings and all the students are released to lunch.
"Miley, we need to talk" Lilly says as she pulls said girl aside.
"To Oliver? You got that right. There's something wrong with that boy."
"No, I mea-" Lilly says while Miley walks away towards Oliver. "-n. I need to tell you the truth." she whispers very softly, but not soft enough as the 'ooh-tsss' twins walk by and over hear her.
"What do you think she was talking about?" Ashley asks Amber.
"Duh! I don't think, I gossip."
"Right, so we can gossip about this right?"
"What? That skater girl is keeping a big secret from hil-miley." Suddenly Amber gets a huge grin on her face. "We can pull those two apart like-"
"- a ring on a dead person's finger when you are really desperate for the dance? Oooh-" Ashley puts up her index finger.
"Uh... eww. No, I don't think so." Amber walks away from Ashley and up to a group of people to start spreading the gossip.
Ashley deflates and joins Amber.

"Oliver what the heck was that?" Miley asks while walking up to the boy.
"What was what, Miley? What Lilly said, or- ?"
"-no I mean the whole 'being smart' thing, when did that happen?"
"Well, you see-"
"Wait. What do you mean 'what Lilly said'?"
"You know, what she said last period, plus the look she was giving you looked like she was-" The bell rings, cutting off their conversation.
"Sorry Ollie, I got to get to my next class, I'll call you later and we WILL talk." she pointed at him in a threatening manner.
"Oliver grabbed his collar with one finger and tugged nervously, "uh huh, sure."

In Miley's next class Sarah came up to her before the bell rang.
"Hey Miley, sorry to hear about Lilly."
Miley's pulse quickened and she panicked, "What? What about Lilly, what happened?"
"How she's lying to you."
Miley looked visibly taken aback and said, "say what? You must be crazy. Lilly would never lie to me, where did you hear that?"
"Well, I overheard some people talking, they said Lilly told them that."
"Why would my best friend lie to me?" Miley looked depressed and sank into her chair.
"I'm sorry, Miley. I thought you knew." Sarah put on a sympathetic hand on Miley's shoulder before taking her seat for class.
'I don't get it' Miley thought ' I tell her everything - well, almost everything - I thought I could trust her.' she sighs, 'it's not fair, I loved her... still do.' she stared out the window and thought of things to say to Lilly until the bell rang for the end of school. She ran straight home.

"Hey there bud. You look tired and upset. What's wrong and have you been up all night looking for hungry owls like your old uncle earl used to? We had to replace the back porch twenty times that year." Miley's dad, Robbie Ray, says, shaking his head.
"No dad, it's worse. Lilly's lying to me."
"About what?"
"That's the thing. I have no idea."
"Well bud I'm sure that-" the phone rings "hold on a sec, bud. Hello? Oh no... okay... just take as long as you need to fix her... a hundred bucks? You'll get the money when I pick her up. Okay... alright... bye." he puts the phone down and turns towards Miley. "Bad news bud. Lulu's gonna need to stay in the shop awhile. But the song's so great we can wait for it." he pats her on the shoulder.
"Oh... great." Miley says as she puts on her sarcastic face and tries to keep herself awake. She nearly falls asleep when the phone rings again. Her father answers it.
"Mile...Lilly landing in 10."
"Oh great..." she starts running upstairs, "I'm not here." she yells to her dad right before the door swings open to Lilly on a skateboard.
"Hey there Mr. S. is Miley in her room?" She asks making her way towards the stairs.
"Uhh...no she's not here right now, sorry."
"But I just saw her run up there."
"Oh...well you can't see her, she's grounded."
"Wow... I guess she told you about the song then."
"What song?"
"Eeep. Nothing."
"Look, Lilly I'm sorry but Miley doesn't want to talk right now."
Lilly looked instantly heartbroken, picked up her board and slowly headed toward the door. "Okay fine... here I go... the one person who could make your daughter feel better... halfway there.." she says in slow low tones. She looks back at Robbie Ray and gives him the puppy dog pout.
"Fine, Lilly, go talk to her. But if she asks, tell her I sent you home and you came back in when I wasn't looking."
Lilly looks at him weird and says, "okay, don't know what that's gonna do." she heads upstairs and stops in front of Miley's closed door. She reached for the doorknob when she hears Miley strum her guitar.
"Your problem's not the lack of tryin' cuz you do
its just that your at your best when your lyin'(which she sings venomously)
Ooh ohh ooo oo.
Now you're standing here and saying things you think I wanted to hear
But you got it all wrong I've already moved on, my dear.
You're my type of girl I guess... if..."
She sang, her voice breaking at the last part. "Arrrgh. Lilly!" She breaks down and Lilly walks in.
"Whoa, how did you know I was there... and sorry I didn't mean to eaves drop on your song... is it new?"
"Sweet niblits, Lilly, you scared me half to death. I didn't know you were out there."
"Oh... okay, why'd you say my name then?"
"Oh I don't know... maybe because I'm mad at you for lying to me!"
"What? Where did that come from? Since when have I lied to you Miley?"
"Since the whole school is talking about you lying to me."
"So what? You take their word before mine? I thought you would at least come to me before you decide you're mad at me."
"But Oliver said you were giving me a look in science and you said something."
"What did I say?"
"Uh... I was gonna call Ollie about that."
"Then call him. I'll wait." She crosses her arms and stares Miley down.
Miley sighs, "I'm sorry. I guess I ... I took things way out of proportion and I should have come to you when I heard you were lying to me."
"It's okay, but who would start a rumor like that?"
"I'll give you one guess."
"Amber?" Lilly looks at Miley.
"And Ashley. But why? Why try to ruin our friendship?" Miley gets up and wraps Lilly in a hug. "I'm really sorry, Lils, and..."
Lilly waits for Miley to finish her sentence but then pulls away from the hug to find Miley asleep. Lilly smiles at the sight of her slumbering friend and thinks 'god, she is so cute when she's sleeping. It's too bad I have to wake her.' "Miley! Wake up!" She shakes her and Miley's eyes slowly open.
"Huh? What? Did I fall asleep again?"
"Yep."
"Darn it. I didn't say anything did I?"
"Nope. Do you want to sleep over at my house tonight Miley?"
"As long as you wear earplugs and don't pay attention to anything I'm saying."
"Why?"
"Uh..." Miley looked around nervously. "I... should ask my dad if I can sleep over."
"Doubt it."
"Why's that?"
"You're grounded, remember?"
"I am?" Miley gave a confused look but a second later looked amused, "huh. I'll be right back Lils."
"Okay. I'll be Right here, Mile"
