Changing Directions
Miley's POV
It was actually the last day of 11th grade. I couldn't believe it. Now here I am, sitting at lunch with Lilly and waiting in anticipation for school to get out.
"Miles can you believe we're about to be seniors? This is going to be so exciting!" Lilly said and then began to eat.
"I know it will be really…exciting." I started to say slowly.
Lilly just let her hair loose from the hat she was wearing and then shook it a bit. Her hair lay gently and smoothly on her shoulders now. I always told her she would attract a guy's attention with her hair down. But why am I staring? She shouldn't look cute to me. I can't be attracted to her. I quickly pushed the thought aside as I heard my name.
"Miley what are you staring at?"
"I was staring? Why would I stare? How long could I have been staring?" oh no, I just thought out loud again. I slapped a hand to my mouth. Lilly just gave me a weird look.
"Uh yeah, you've kinda been staring at me for the past minute. Do I have a big zit again?" she wined.
"No no no, you're fine, really fine. I-I mean I was just deep in thought and I just happen to be looking in your direction." I tried to look innocent, hoping she would buy my answer. She did.
"Oh ok, thanks. So what are you doing after school?"
Lilly's POV
I didn't believe Miley for a minute. Something was seriously up with her lately. She's been acting so weird around me. Oh no… does she know? Oh I hope she doesn't know that would just ruin everything.
But look at her. How could I not think what I'm thinking? Her hair is so shining, her skin so flawless, and those lips are just made for kissing. Wait do I wanna kiss my best friend? No that can't be possible. I'm just admiring her the way any friend would. Right?
"Lilly."
"Hmm, what?" I muttered coming out of my trance. But still watching those kissable lips let words flow between them.
"You asked me a question and I answered. Now who's the one staring?"
Oh man I am so busted. How are you gonna lie your way out of this one Truscott? "I was uh… just trying to figure out if you looked better as a blonde or a brunette. I think brunette, definitely a brunette. After all, no blonde could look as good as me right?"
Let's hope she believes me better than I believe her. Judging by the look on her face I'm betting not.
"Lilly, are you…"
Oliver suddenly walked up and sat down. "Hey girls! What are you up to?"
"Nothing!" we both said in unison. Ok, she is definitely hiding something, but so am I. She couldn't be hiding anything compared to what I'm hiding so maybe I should just keep my mouth shut.
"Yeah, sure. Well we've only got another couple hours, you guys excited?" Oliver asked as he began eating.
"Oh yeah! And then we are so out of here." Miley sighed.
Then Miley looked at a guy walking past our table. He gave her a small nod and a smile, she did the same back. I slightly glared at her, but then my eyes came across Oliver's face for a second. He was just smirking in the slyest way as he chewed on his burrito. Oh no, there is no way he could.
Miley's POV
I have no idea where these feelings for Lilly suddenly came from. For some reason I want her, but I just don't think it's right. It doesn't make sense. Feelings can't just change like that either, can they?
Luckily a cute guy walked by and we exchanged some flirtatious smiles. He was cute in a way, but not as cute as he normally would have been for some reason. Once he passed I looked back at Lilly. She was just wiping a dirty look off her face. I only saw it for a second.
"Lilly, what's wrong?" I asked then she blushed very lightly. Blushed?
"Oh I was just thinking about our summer reading."
"We don't have anything to do over…"
Suddenly the lunch bell rang and cut me off. And so did Lilly. "Ok we better get to class. Let's go."
Lilly was about to grab my hand and pull me to class with her, but she just started walking away instead. I followed quickly behind.
