CHAPTER ONE
Must-Have
Miley's Point of View
"Just one kiss with Jake Ryan and my life is complete," I said dreamily, rolling over on my bed.
My best friend, Lilly Truscott, switched the channel from Disney to MTV. "Really?" she asked, looking up to me from my carpet. "I thought you hated that guy."
Oh, no, I thought. Did I say that out loud? "Who? Jake? I do!" I replied. "I hate his guts."
"But you said that just one kiss with him would complete your life," my other best friend, Oliver Oscar Oken, pointed out. He was sitting on a bean bag chair, reading a comic book.
"The silly boy's got a point," Lilly added.
"Yeah..." Oliver trailed off, realizing Lilly's words. "Hey!"
"What?" Lilly said.
"Okay," I said, defeated. "So maybe I do like Jake Ryan, a little."
Lilly and Oliver looked at me.
"A lot," I admitted. "And I've been dreaming about that kiss ever since that shoot for Zombie High. It's a must-have, you know?"
Lilly stifled her giggles, and Oliver held back a laugh. "A 'must-have?'" they repeated in unison.
"Well, it's better than have you two make fun of me on a Saturday night!" I told them.
I had invited them over for a sleepover. And although it's really wierd to have Oliver over for a night in my house, it's okay. Even my dad approved it. It was the second weekend of the summer, and we were dying to have some fun. So far, summer has been really boring.
Dad knocked on the door. "Miley!" he said. "Your pizza's here!"
I ran to the door and opened it. "Thanks, Dad. I promise to bring it down when we're finished. Want a slice?"
Dad shook his head. "No thanks," he replied. "I'm fine."
I shrugged. "Okay, suit yourself."
"So, Miles," Lilly said, grabbing a slice of pizza as I opened the box. "What are you going to do to have your so-called must-have kiss?"
"I absolutely have no idea," I replied, taking a bite out of my own slice.
"Well, he's leaving in two weeks' time," Oliver said matter-of-factly. "You'd better hurry if you want that so badly."
My jaw dropped. "What? He is?"
"Yeah, you don't know?" Lilly said.
"No, I don't. How did you guys know?" I asked them.
"Jake told us by text message. You didn't check you Sidekick?" Oliver replied.
"Mine is broken, remember?" I told them.
"You haven't spoken to Jake?" Lilly asked.
"Let's just say that we've been avoiding each other," I answered.
"Then you've really got to hurry and get that kiss," Oliver said.
"How?" I mused.
"I heard they're having a small get-together at Jake's," Lilly offered. "How does that sound? I think they're having Spin the Bottle, or something."
"Great," I said. "I'll go ask Dad if we could come." I came by the door and yelled, "Dad, can we come over to Jake's house?"
"Yeah, just don't be out too late!" Dad yelled back.
Lilly, Oliver and I changed clothes (not in front of each other, of course) and prepared to go outside. Jackson offered to drive us if we let him come. We agreed; after all, it was just Jackson.
When we got to Jake's, I rang the doorbell.
"Excuse me, coming through!" I heard through the stained-glass door.
Jake opened the door. "Oh, Miley, Lilly, Oliver, Jackson," he said, looking stressed.
"Hey, Jake," I said shortly. I turned to Lilly. "Small get-together? Jake looks like he could pass out!"
Jake, who obviously hadn't heard what I'd said because of the ultra-loud music from inside, scratched his head. "Are you coming in or what?" he said in the most polite way he can.
"Uh, yeah!" Lilly replied.
We all entered through the door.
"Sure is a big party you're having," I commented.
"What?" Jake asked. He still couldn't hear because of the music.
"Sure is a big party you're having!" I repeated, practically shouting in his ears.
Jake turned the music down. "Yeah, I guess. I was only planning on a few people, but it sort of got out of hand."
"We can help you with settling them down," I offered.
"That's great. Thanks, Miley." Jake took my hand. I flushed all over at the thought of having Jake's hand over mine. "Alright, party's over," he said. "Everybody out."
A sudden realization came to me. The party is over. No party, no Spin the Bottle. No Spin the Bottle, no kiss with Jake. No kiss with Jake... No. That could not happen.
Everyone groaned at the announcement. Soon, the place, which was packed with people, was now empty. And there was a huge mess. I sighed forlornly while cleaning up.
Lilly walked up to my side. "Still didn't get that kiss."
"Well, we were a little bit too late," I replied.
Oliver shrugged, throwing a pile of half-eaten pigs in a blanket on plate in the trash. "There's still thirteen days."
When we were done, Jake led us to the door. "Thanks for helping," he said.
"No problem," I replied, grinning.
Lilly and Oliver jumped onto Jackson's car. I was just about to do it myself when Jake took me by the arm. "Hey, Miley."
I turned to him, and our noses touched. "Yeah?"
"Thanks again. Maybe we could get together sometime. Like, our own get-together, with Lilly and Oliver?" Jake asked.
"You mean, like a date?" I asked back.
Jake's ears turned red. "N-not really."
We stared at each other's eyes for what seemed like forever. Finally, Jake leaned in. I did, too. We were about to kiss when-
"Miley! It's getting late!" Jackson called.
I pulled away, all of a sudden. Way to interrupt, Jackson, I thought glumly, already planning how to kill my big brother when I get home. Instead, I shouted, "Coming!" I turned to Jake. "Bye, Jake."
Jake waved and nodded.
I got in the car, and saw at the corner of my eye that Jake's gaze was still on me.

In the works are the first chapter of the sequel of Happy Campers, called Island Getaway, the latest chapter of Seven Minutes in Heaven, the second chapter of My Stepbrother the Zombie Slayer, the second chapter of Underdog, and the second chapter of this story.
