I'm actually really excited for this story. I'll try to update In The Dark as soon as possible

"Miss Truscott, I know teenage life is hard and exhausting, but please pay attention to this class. So if I see you yawning one more time, you can leave this classroom, got that?" Ms. Kunkle said with a fake smile plastered on her face, her eyes boring into Lilly's.

"Yes, Ms. Kunkle," Lilly answered. She couldn't help it. Her best friend and boyfriend for almost two months, Oliver, called her last night. They talked on the phone for hours. Lilly eventually hung up when she felt it was finally time to go to bed. Way too late, of course.

Just then, the bell rang, indicating it was time for their lunchbreak. Saved by the bell, she thought. She got out off her seat and walked out of the classroom. Once she was in the lunchroom, she walked over to the table where she usually sat with Oliver and Sarah, her only friends her at school. She was kind of an outsider.

But, being her clumsy self, she didn't see a girl stopping in front of her. She bumped into her her, not too softly. The girl barely managed to keep her lunchtray upright. Lilly then looked at the girl, shocked to find out that it was Miley Stewart, probably one of the most popular girls at Seaview High.

Miley looked at her. She didn't make a nasty remark because of Lilly's clumsiness, although she didn't really had the chance to do that. Lilly had already quickly walked away, mentally cursing herself for her stupidity. She sat down at her table, where Oliver and Sarah were already sitting.

"Oh my God. I almost knocked over Miley Stewart. How stupid," Lilly said.

"So? She's just a gay teenager who just happens to be popular," Oliver said while he swallowed a bite from his burger. Yes, Miley Stewart was a lesbian, and she wasn't even bullied because of it. No, in fact, Lilly thought it had only made her more popular. Girls looked up to her, and guys just thought she was sexy. The only people who made fun of her were Amber and Ashley and their friends, who were also popular. They were sworn enemies from the moment they met.

Lilly shook her head. Oliver didn't understand. She kinda admired Miley for her openness.

"It's not that bad, Lilly," Sarah said, "she sure isn't going to give you a hard time because of that. Leave that to Amber and Ashley."

Somewhat convinced, Lilly started on her lunch. After a few minutes of eating in silence, Oliver spoke up.

"So, are you going to Ricky Sanchez' party tonight?"

"Who's Ricky Sanchez?" Lilly asked.

"I don't know. Does it matter? All I know is that everyone's going."

Sarah shook her head. "I can't. I already have plans to do something with my mother."

Oliver turned to Lilly. "You are coming with me, right?"

Lilly wasn't certain. "Uhm..."

"Come on, Lilly," Oliver pushed, "It's a friday. You never go out."

Lilly sighed. "Okay, fine. I'm going," she agreed.

Oliver smiled. "Good choice, Lilly. You won't regret it."

Miley was sitting at her usual lunchtable with her best friends, Mikayla and Joannie. She watched the girl that had almost knocked her over. She then turned to face her friends.

"Who's that girl?" she asked.

"Who?"

"That girl who just bumped into me."

"I've no idea," Mikayla answered.

Miley looked at her, surprised. "What? But you know everyone in this school."

Mikayla shrugged. "Well, not her."

Miley looked at the girl again, who was currently laughing with a shaggy haired boy next to her. "Find out who she is," she said a bit absently.

Mikayla nodded. "Will do."

"You two are going to Ricky's party tonight, right?" Joannie asked

"Do you even have to ask?" Miley said with a smile. "We haven't been to a party in quite some time."

"I know, that's why I'm so excited. And his house really is huge. You know how rich he is."

Mikayla grinned. "Yeah, we know that, golddigger."

"I'm just sayin'!" Joannie said while she held her hands up. "As long as you don't get drunk again like at that party a few weeks ago," she shot back.

Miley grinned, enjoying the little argument between her two best friends. Yeah, she was also excited for tonight. It was going to be fun.

Okay, so this was really short, but it was kind of a set-up chapter. Please review. It gets better, I promise
