I could barely make out her voice over the bass pumping through the speakers, "I cant hear you lets go outside" I shouted to her grabbing her hand and leading her out of the door. The gentle night breeze greeted us as we stood on the driveway of Oliver's house, his parents were out of town hence the slightly out of control party going on inside. "Ah fresh air" I smiled, "okay so what were you trying to tell me in there?"
"I was trying to ask you to dance with me" she laughed, "fresh air's good too though". "Sorry bout' that, but you were doing a pretty good job of dancing by yourself" I chuckled. She smiled that dazzling 100 watt smile and I felt a smile spread across my own face, "yeah but its always better dancing with you..probably would of caused a riot among the guys too" she joked.
"Oh pfft you were doing that yourself miss thang" I quipped giving her a slight nudge, I registered the slight pink blush covering her cheeks. "Miley Stewart aka Hannah Montana blushing from a friend's comment, somebody alert the paps" I teased sticking my tongue out. She rolled her eyes and retorted sticking her own tongue out, "hey look the stars are out" she said gently gesturing into the night sky.
They don't compare to the sparkle in your eyes I thought to myself. "Lilly did you just say something?" Miley asked with a confused look on her face, shoot! At least I thought I'd said it in my head not aloud. I mentally slapped myself. "Really? Oh well then I guess I wont say not a million stars could shine as bright as you," she responded staring back up into the sky faking a look of disinterest.
I felt my skin tingle, did she actually mean that or was she just trying to say something nice back? Ugh I really shouldn't be having such a reaction to my best friend making comments I thought as I stared at the ground. As always she noticed that I'd gone quiet, she casually draped an arm around my shoulder. "What's so interesting down there Lils?" she asked gently pushing my hair back trying to see my face. "N-nothing, the party's boring me now. Wanna go grab something to eat?" I asked trying to be my regular chirpy self, and thinking of my stomach too of course.
She nodded slightly, "stay here I'll go get our jackets". As soon as she was through Oliver's door I started cursing and talking to myself out loud. "Oh way to freakin' go Lilly talk about making it obvious that you like her as in LIKE her like her. Stupid stupid stupid!"
I was just about hit my forehead again but Miley turned up with our jackets, she handed me mine with a puzzled expression on her face. "You sure your okay Lilly? Your awfully different tonight". Dangit should've known that girl can read me like a book by now. I smiled trying to convince her I was fine, "just a little hungry" I reassured her patting my stomach. "Come on Miles fries and shakes at the diner on me" I offered linking my arm through hers as we walked away from Oliver's headed into the night.
