Chapter One

Tuesday, 8:24 PM.

(Oliver)

When I heard from Lilly that Jake was back from Romania, I choked on my drink. I caught myself before I gave anything away and feigned happiness in front of Lilly.

"Isn't that great?! He literally fell out of the sky wearing a tuxedo with chocolates and a rose. How romantic is that?" Lilly fawned over Jake.

"Yeah, real great." I plastered on a fake smile.

Lilly couldn't get a clue if it slapped her in the face. At the moment, anyway. She was too busy squealing over how awesome and romantic Jake Ryan is.

For the time while Miley went out with him, which was only about a week, I laid low. I didn't want to be in the middle of their stupid relationship or be there to experience any of it. Sure, I went with them to eat but that was short-lived seeing as how Jake had not even a single inkling as to how to act like a normal person. I know this all sounds like I'm being a horrible friend to Miley but I couldn't take watching someone go out with the girl I've liked from the moment I met her.

That's why I distracted myself with the little shack Jackson opened up on the beach. The cheese jerky was a real hit but unfortunately all our money had to go to pay for all the equipment we used. That made me really bummed. At least by the time I was no longer distracted, I found out from Lilly that Miley wanted to break up with Jake because he was really obnoxious. I bit my tongue and restrained from jumping up and down and dancing. I kept a cool demeanor and replied: "Oh, that sucks, I guess." Lilly nodded but told me she agreed with Miley's decision. I know I sure did, too.

I still couldn't believe she trusted him enough to tell him her secret, though. I felt kind of special knowing that only me and Lilly, her best friends, knew. I remember Lilly telling me that Jake had acted disgusted at the fact that Miley liked being a normal kid and not being famous all the time. I knew he was a total joke and I was more than relieved knowing that they weren't going to be together anymore.

Now, the Trio, (known as me, Miley, and Lilly) were sitting on Miley's couch watching some TV when Jake stupid Ryan showed up on the screen. I looked over and saw Miley smile widely. I almost gagged.

She turned up the volume in time to hear the reporter Jake was talking to ask him something. "Where's your not-famous girlfriend Millie?"

Jake corrected him. "It's Miley and we broke up."

The reporter seemed confused. "But you don't seem depressed, are you happy to be rid of someone who isn't your status?"

Jake shook his head. "I'm not happy, I'm just at peace with her and we're both going separate ways..." Jake sort of trailed off as if he had more to say but left the sentence hanging and the reporter looking more confused than before as he walked away and down the red carpet of his premiere.

Tuesday, 8:24 PM.

(Miley)

Sure, I was sad that me and Jake had to break up, but I think it was for the best. Plus it wasn't a bitter kind of sad. It's like a I even trusted him enough to tell him my secret and it was somewhat relieving to tell someone new about it. I know Jake isn't a horrible person and that he won't tell my secret to anyone. At least I finally got through his fat head and made him understand that I like being a normal kid and living a normal life. He obviously had a problem with that. The boy didn't even know HOW to ACT normal. That's just a little sad if you ask me.

Having a boyfriend felt really good, though. I'm going to miss having a boy with me all the time. And someone who cares about me besides family. I guess Jake just wasn't the boy I'm looking for. Now I know how Lilly felt when she was going out with that Lucas guy. But I know that through all of this boy drama stuff, I still have my family and Lilly and Oliver. Speaking of Oliver, he seems alot more content than the last time I saw him. Which was a while ago, come to think of it. He tends to act really weird whenever something has to do with Jake.

I look over to Oliver and see him joking around with Lilly. He was awfully adorable looking. WOAH! What am I saying.. Oliver is my best friend.. a doughnut.. a goof-ball. I can't possibly like him. But we have known each other for a while now and he's always been there for me when I needed him. Especially that one time I forgot the words to my own song on Top of the Pops. He helped me out. Even when he overheard me planning to bail on him for the Romeo and Juliet scene for Drama class. If that isn't a good friend, I don't know what is..

I caught myself still staring because his eyes were on mine and I quickly blinked and turned back to the TV. After that weird encounter, we all spent the rest of the night watching a movie that Lilly had brought.

Tell me what you think. To continue, or not continue.. that is the question. :)
