I'm back!

Just to clarify, this is a sequel to my story The Popstar and the Pauper (P&P for short.) I guess you don't have to read P&P to read this, I'm sure you could figure it out. But if you have time, just go read P&P! (Ooh, I'm on a roll with the 'P&P' thing. I'm going to start call this story LMN in stead of Love Me Not!)

Story takes place one year after P&P.

"Oh my gosh, Miley!" Lilly said, "You were so amazing in that movie!"

"Thanks, Lilly."

"Yeah, you were phenomenal," Nick added, "I didn't even know you could act."

Miley, Lilly, and Nick walked into the Stewart's house after they had returned from the movies. The three best friends sat down on the couch and continued their discussion.

"Did you read the magazine?" Lilly asked. "It said that your movie Adam and Carissa is about to break the record for ticket sales on the first week! That's amazing!"

"No way!" Miley said, "Was it really that good?"

"YES!" Nick and Lilly both shouted.

Adam and Carissa was the movie that Miley shot with Jake Ryan when she and Hannah switched places last summer. It was really just a fun experience for Miley, she never expected the movie to turn out excellent. But apparently, it's going for some records. Who knows? Maybe an Oscar even?

"But the funniest part…" Lilly started laughing already, "…was when the girl sitting next to us…in the theater…saw Jake…sitting with us…"

Nick started laughing too, "Oh yeah. She was like one of those obsessive fan girls. She was practically bouncing up and down in her seat!"

"And it wasn't easy keeping her quiet," Miley said. "I had to keep her in a headlock so she wouldn't blow Jake's cover."

They all laughed at the memory. Ah, good times.

"Do you think the girl will tell the world that Jake Ryan is dating a girl named Miley?" Lilly asked after the laughter died down.

"I hope not," Miley groaned, "Tabloids are so annoying. There is already gossip about Jannah, the last thing I want is rumors about me and Jake."

Nick was confused, "But they wouldn't be rumors, they would be truths."

"No, I meant wild rumors. Like, we're getting engaged or something crazy like that."

Lilly sighed, "But you and Jake seem to be getting serious. Today at the movies, you were practically sitting on his lap the whole time!"

"Was not!" Miley was always defensive.

"Was too!" Lilly was always defensive too. Maybe that's why they are best friends. "Just admit it, Miley. You and Jake can't keep your hands off of each other."

Miley turned tomato red.

"Aw, little Miles is getting embarrassed," Nick laughed.

Miley hid her face in her hands, "SHUT UP!"

Lilly went and sat next to Miley, "We're just kidding. It's really sweet how you and Jake love each other. It kind of makes me jealous."

Miley suddenly looked up, "Really?"

"Totally," Lilly then turned to Nick, "And you and Hannah, too. All this love my best friends are getting kind of makes me jealous. I wish I had a boyfriend too."

"Speaking of Hannah, how come she couldn't come today?" Miley asked.

"Uh, I think she is recording songs for her new album," Nick shrugged.

Miley looked down, avoiding Nick's eyes. There was a question she wanted to ask, but Miley didn't know quite how to phrase it without sounding offensive, "Um, Nick? Can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Are you and Hannah…okay?" Miley struggled to find the right word.

Nick seemed to freeze. He turned away from his friends and stared at the wall. "Of course we're okay," he answered in a dull voice.

"Are you sure?" Miley didn't seem to believe him, "Because you and Hannah never go on double dates with me and Jake anymore. Actually, you guys never go out on any dates at all."

Nick continued to stare at the wall with no emotion on his face. "She's been busy. And when she's not busy, I've been busy. We're busy people."

Miley and Lilly looked at each other. What was going on?

"Hey, where is everyone?" Nick asked, desperately trying to change the subject. Miley decided to leave her best friend alone for the time being. If he didn't want to talk about it, then she would drop it.

"Well, my dad is out having dinner with his friends, but I don't know where Jackson is. Did he and Joe come home from college this weekend?" Miley started looking around her house.

Lilly spotted them first, "Oh, they're out back with Oliver."

Miley got up from the couch and grabbed the phone. "Since Dad is gone, I'm going to order pizza," Miley said. "Lilly, can you ask the guys if they're staying for dinner?"

"Sure." Lilly walked to the back door. She was just about to open her mouth to speak when she heard what the three guys were talking about.

"Come on, man," Jackson said.

"Yeah, Oliver, just tell us," Joe said. "You can trust us."

"Well…"

Lilly crept behind the door and listened.

"…I have this crush on Lilly…" Oliver confessed. Lilly gasped silently. What? Oliver likes me? But how...since when...but he...I...what?

"But I like Lilly!" Jackson shouted. Lilly nearly jumped out of her socks. Jackson too?! When did Jackson ever like me?

An awkward silence fell between the two guys. Lilly could almost picture Oliver and Jackson glaring at each other. Finally, Joe broke it—but what he said just about gave Lilly a heart attack.

"What?" he asked, as if he had just conprehended what Oliver and Jackson said. "But I do too."

Lilly's mouth hung open in shock and her eyes were going to pop out of her socket. Joe like me too. Great. Is there anyone here who doesn't like me? These guys are like my brothers. We're pratically family. And last time I checked, brothers don't fall in love with sisters... She slowly stepped out from her hiding spot and walked towards the three guys. All three pairs of eyes landed on Lilly in shock. It was their turn to have a heart attack.

"Lilly!…you weren't…supposed…to hear that."

She fidgeted, not sure of what to do. What's a girl to say after she accidentally overhead three of her best friends confess their love for her. Do stuff like this even happen? Lilly searched her brain for something to break the tension. "Um, Miley wants to know if you guys want pizza."

"Sure," they all answered at the same time. The three guys stared at each other. Then, they simultaneously turned to look at Lilly. She took a step back, feeling self-conscious.

Even though no one said a word, a war had just begun. Jackson, Joe, and Oliver were going to fight for Lilly, and none of them were going to back down easy. Their friendship was ruined, if not completely wrecked, in a matter of seconds. And Lilly felt guilty. Too guilty.

Be careful what you wish for.

[insert dramatic music here]

Okay, this is like the intro chapter. I promise, the later chapters will be longer. So basically, LMN will be about Lilly trying to pick a guy. I made a trailer for it on youtube, there is a link to my youtube channel on my profile. You should watch it to find out what will happen.:)

Does the story sound interesting so far? I read in a magazine that movies are usually shot a year before they go into theaters, so LMN will be about the gang's senior year. And speaking of Senior Year…

HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL 3 WAS AMAZING!!! This is Hannah Montana, so I'm not going to go on and on about it, but if you haven't seen it yet, you should. So it does cost money, big deal. It's worth it. I loved the ending and how it relates back to the first movie and....

Okay, if you want to hear more of my ramble about HSM3's awesomeness you can PM me.

Back to the actual story I'm writing…review!
