Well hello. Thanks for clickin :P. I'm still working on my other stuff, I just wanted to get this out there. There's one more story that I want to get the first chapter up for. So please tell me if you want me to update this, the Christmas, or the other one (put up tomorrow) first.

Do enjoy!

"Dangflabit! Learn to drive!" I yelled at the car who just cut me off. Seriously, Californians can't drive. Whatever. Relaxin a bit, I stuff some chips in my mouth and tap my fingers on the steering wheel to the music.

My sophomore year of college is done. Over. Finito! Officially a junior. So now I'm on my way to Malibu to spend the summer. Miley's graduating on Friday. She'll be coming to UCLA with me in the fall. So will Lilly. Ow. My stomach turns at the thought of seeing her again. Is she still mad? I wouldn't blame her. I mean I had what, 3 months to call and talk to her? Really, who just kisses a girl, says nothing, and leaves? A coward. And she's mad. So is Miley. Everytime on the phone "Call Lilly! Just do it!" I'm sick of it. Granted, it would stop if I just called, but that ain't happening. So I guess I'll see her soon. Unless I can avoid her. I'll be busy, after all. Workin back at Rico's. Anyway…

My cell rings. A stupid factory ringtone. What can I say, I'm a poor college student! I know, my family has money. Miley's offered me money time and again but I won't take it. I want to do it on my own, you know? It's Lilly calling. That's weird. Before I can change my mind, I answer.

"Hello?" I force my voice to sound calm.

"Hey." She paused. I heard her take a deep breath. "it's Lilly." No duh it's Lilly. My phone does have caller ID.

I'm not really sure what to say. Why would she be calling. Not that I particularly mind. I haven't heard her voice in so long. "What's up Lils?"

"Do you have time to talk?"

"No I'm driving as we speak." Drats. Last thing I need is to become so enthralled in the conversation that I crash. Besides, I'm guessing I know what she wants to talk about. And that should be talked about in person.

"Oh." There was a short silence. "Can we talk later then?"

"Yeah. I'll talk to you tonight."

"Ok. When can I call?"

I frowned. "Call? Why don't you just come over?"

"What do you mean come over? Are you in Malibu?"

"Yeah…" I said slowly. Confused. "You know I'm staying for the summer right?"

Lilly gasped. "What! No, since when!"

I laughed. She was clearly excited. What that meant, I don't know. "I don't know, a while? I'll be there in about an hour. So I'll see you later, I gotta drive…" I had already had to swerve a couple times from not paying attention to the road. It was definitely time to hang up.

"K. Drive careful." She hung up.

I can't help but think more and more about her. I mean, I've talked to her ont eh phone before, sure, but those were always for less important reasons. Calling to talk to Miley. Could she have a ride to school. Me calling to see where Miley was. Boring stuff, really. This was the first time she called to really talk to me.

And now I'm unnerved. She didn't know I 'm coming? Why hasn't Miley told her? How had that little tidbit not come up in conversation? Yeah, Miley isn't the brightest crayon in the box, but she isn't stupid. I can only assume this isn't an accident.

After a ridiculously long amount on time, I pull up on the driveway. Miley's Cooper is wet and all soaped up. Great… Cringing, I park the car and turn off the engine. Getting out, I see Miley's head pop up from behind her car. She grins at me. "Why hello brother! Gosh, I didn't expect you for hours." She says in a sweet, obviously sarcastic voice.

Trying to seem like I don't notice the sarcasm, I shut the door. "Really? Well, I guess you're just lucky then." Hearing the front door shut, I whip my head towards it, hoping it isn't who I think it is. My breath catches in my throat as Lilly turns the corner onto the sidewalk by the driveway. Lilly looks at me and blushes ever so slightly, then picks up her head and seemingly regains confidence.

Sweet niblets! I know I'm being played with. I've seen this bikini before. It's Miley's. But good God, it looks like it was made for Lilly. It's small, sure, but it covers enough that I'm not surprised she would wear it. She looks like a present waiting to be opened, with a top shaped like a bow. I can't believe that Miley is doing this to me.

Realizing I have been standing here for a bit too long with my mouth hung open, I snap it shut. I figure there's no reason to even pretend I'm not freakin out.

Lilly rubs her arm and smiles. "Hey Jackson. Long time no see."

Matching her grin, I give her a hug. Sweet holy niblets her skin feels soft against my hands. I breathe in deep the smell of her hair. I have missed the sweet smell of her shampoo so much. I let her go. "Hey Lils."

So that's chapter uno. i hope you liked it. reviews love :)
