CHAPTER ONE:

It was a hot afternoon in Malibu and Miley Stewart just got to the beach to meet up with her two best friends- Lilly and Oliver. Miley was wearing cute denim caprice and a fuchsia pink tank top, with a cute pair of new sandals. She sat down next to them at a table near Rico's.

"Hey, guys," Miley said smiling.

"Hey, Miley," Lilly replied. "How'd it go at the recording studio earlier?"

Miley sighed, "It went alright. Pretty much the same as usual."

Oliver looked up, "Were there, uh…any other singer's there?" He looked at her with the most hopeful smile she's ever seen, which made her laugh a little.

"Oh, Oliver. You never give up, do you?"

"Why would I?" he looked around to make sure no one else was close enough to hear him. "You're Hannah Montana. You have access to talk to other singers. Especially Kelly Clarkson."

"Hold on, lover boy. Do you know how hard it is to get a hold of Kelly Clarkson? Even as Hannah Montana?"

Oliver looked doubtful, "Rats. I really, really want to meet her."

"Believe me, so do I."

"Yea, Kelly Clarkson is one of Miley's favorite artists, Oliver," Lilly added.

"Yea, I know."

Miley smiled, "I almost met her once…but I felt so guilty that I lied to Lilly about the party…" she looked over at her, "Which I'm still really, really sorry about."

"Miley, its okay. We worked that out already. And it was sweet that you left because you missed me."

"I missed you like crazy. It wasn't the same without my best friend with me."

Lilly tried not to blush and smile at the same time, "I would've done the same."

Just then, a girl walked by their table, which totally made Oliver zone out of their conversation. Then he quickly said, "Hey, uh…I'll be over there with that girl," he said with a big smile.

"You do that," said Lilly.

Oliver jumped up and ran to catch up with the girl. Miley laughed.

"I swear, Oliver's the biggest flirt in the whole school."

"What about Jackson?" Lilly questioned.

"You have a point… Oliver's the second biggest flirt in the whole school."

Lilly smiled, "Whatever keeps him happy."

"True."

Just then, Jake Ryan came walking towards them. Lilly frowned.

"Oh great…"

Miley turned around and saw him, then looked back at her.

"I thought you liked Jake."

"Well…uh…he just wasn't what I thought he'd be…yea."

"I see."

Jake sat down next to Miley. "Hey, Miley."

"Hi, Jake. How's the Zombie Slayer doin'?"

"Well…not so good. I was wondering if I could talk to you…alone."

She didn't know what to say. "Uh…I'll be right back. Do you guys want something from Rico's?"

Lilly shook her head 'no', Jake looked at Miley. "I'm fine, I don't need anything."

Miley quickly got up and headed towards Rico's. Jake nearly slammed his head on the table and gave a big sigh. Lilly glared down at him.

"What's wrong with you?"

He lifted his head back up. "I can't stop thinking about Miley. I mean, one minute she doesn't like me, then she does, then she doesn't. What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't she like me?"

"Look, Jake, you're probably just not what she's looking for. There are so many girls that are crazy about you. Why not try dating them?"

"I've thought about it…but my mind always goes back to Miley. I've never felt this way about anyone before."

"I know it's hard, but you should try at least."

Jake noticed that Miley was coming back to the table. "Shh…she's coming back."

Miley sat down and started drinking her water, trying to avoid Jake. He looked at her.

"Miley?"

"Hmm?" she looked over nervously.

"Can you?"

"Can I what?"

"Talk to me in private?"

"Oh…oh yea. Um…sure. But, not for too long because…uh…me and Lilly were going to go shopping…right Lilly?"

"We were?"

Miley looked at her in a way that said 'Just play along'.

"Oh…oh yea. We were. It totally slipped my mind."

"Okay," Jake said, "I guess this could be quick."

Jake led Miley over to a quieter spot over by a palm tree near the table they were just at. He looked her in the eyes and sighed.

"Miley…"

"Yes, Jake?"

"Look…I know I've asked you this before…but…why won't you go out with me? I really, really like you…"

Miley looked down at the ground, not too sure what she was going to say. "Jake…I just don't know if I really feel that way about you."

"What about last time when we dated?…It felt so right."

"I'm sorry, Jake, but my feelings faded. I'd really like it if we could be good friends though."

He looked down, "I know I act self-centered a lot…and if that's the problem, then I'll try my hardest to change. I want to be with you, Miley…please…"

"Jake…" she sat down in the sand. He was really starting to make her feel bad. He sat down next to her.

"Please, Miley…I promise I'll do anything to make you happy. I'd quit my job if that's what it takes…"

"I doubt that."

"I'm serious, Miley," he took her hands and stared into her eyes. "I…I love you…and I'd do anything for you…I'd die for you…"

Tears were forming in Jake's eyes as he said that to her. Miley felt tears form in her eyes as well and she smiled a little.

"Jake…that was so sweet…"

"And I mean every word of it…It's not some dumb line or anything. I love you…"

Before he knew it, Miley was kissing him. He held her close as he kissed her back.

Back at the table, Lilly could see everything. She saw them kissing and she could feel her heart stop. That's when Oliver came back.

"Alright, check it out. The Olly Trolley got a phone number. I'm still Smokin' Oken," he smiled. But Lilly said nothing; she was still watching Miley and Jake kissing. "Lilly?"

Lilly slowly looked up at Oliver, trying so hard not to cry. "…Sorry…I…I didn't hear you…"

"Lilly…are you okay?"

"Yea…I just…" she looked back at Miley. She was still kissing Jake. Oliver looked over to where Lilly was sadly staring.

"Whoa! Since when did she start liking Jake again?"

A tear slid down Lilly's cheek; she quickly wiped it off. "I…I don't know…"

He looked over at Lilly again. "Lilly, you don't look okay…" then a thought came to his head, "Oh…do you still like Jake?"

Lilly buried her face in her arms as she laid her head on the table. Tears came pouring down her face. Oliver quickly put his arm around Lilly to comfort her. She wanted to tell him- tell him everything. But she couldn't, he wouldn't understand.

"Lilly…it's going to be okay. But…I thought you were over him."

"I…I am…" she tried saying through tears.

"Are you sure?"

She physically couldn't say anything else, she was crying so hard. Oliver didn't know what else to do besides keep his arm around her for support.
