Alright Lilly, you can do this. It's just an American History test. You spent hours studying it. Miley even made a dance for you. The dance! Focus on that, on Miley dancing around. In your room. In her underwear.
"Truscott! Eyes down!"
Stupid Kunkle. How dare she be our substitute teacher and have the nerve to stop me imagining Miley in her underwear. She's just jealous, she's never had the love of a Tennessee woman.
Neither have you, says a voice in the back of my head but I banish it by using my brain to answer the posed question.
12. Who was the 33rd President and historical significance does he have?
33rd President? Was that in the dance? I cast my mind back to the weekend. Miley's angelic voice invades my mind.
At 30, there's Coolidge, cool for a guy his age.
Then Hoover who's better than any dust mover.
My concentration cuts out as Mind-Miley does a particularly provocative dance move. Why did she have to dance? I would have been fine with her just singing. It would still be insanely distracting, but at least I could learn the words. I'd even know exactly how Miley moved her lips as she sang it, in case I ever forgot the words. That would have been nice, I'm good with remembering tunes and I could have just re-created the lip movements, put the tune with it and figured it out from there. The song! Focus Truscott! Coolidge, Hoover, someone, someone and then Kennedy at some point?
I am so failing this test.
Alright, now you're going to block her pretty body out and focus on the voice. Coolidge, Hoover, not important then Hiroshima? That can't be it. Nagasaki? Okay, I know I'm hungry but enough with the sushi! Just because yummy fishy's are named after the two Japanese cities President Truman had atom bombs dropped on-
Oh!
I quickly scribble something about Truman and two cities worth of dead people so I can continue picturing Miley's 'Old, Dead or Texan Guys' dance. I fold my arms and sigh as her arms start moving along with the tune in my head. She gets to what I assume is Truman's line and nearly falls out of her chair trying to re-create the hip gyration in the dance.
Why she needed to put in her new 'more adult' moves into a dance that only I'm going to see is beyond my comprehension. She spent hours convincing her dad that they weren't to provocative and she goes and puts them in a silly little dance for American History class? Poor girl has lost her mind.
But Mr Stewart does need to lighten up. She is only going to be doing them in front of people who have no idea who Hannah Montana really is and are probably never going to see her again.
Besides, it's not like she's going to give private proformances for any hormone-filled teenagers that daydream about her in American History tests.
A/N: Okay, this is mainly a procrastination thing. I'm considering doing this as a series of two-shots based around the events, people and places mentioned in Billy Joel's We Didn't Start the Fire. Please review, your comments are greatly appreciated.
