Hey guys! Ana here with a new story...Don't worry...I'll still be working on "Our Great Escape" but I just came up with the concept for this today and I'm seeing what I can come up with as I go. This story's a little...colorful...But hey...I'm fifteen...My mind's supposed to be colorful. Tell me what you think by reviewing :D.

Chapter 1: Best Friends For Never

Miley stepped into the dark but familiar halls of East Northumberland High. She blew at her bangs at the stress of having to go to a land of morons and sex-obsessed demons. She was seventeen years old and going through a normal day of her senior year. She hasn't been able to do one thing since she's gotten to this place…meet a decent guy.

As she walked by the school's courtyard that stood by the Vesper River, the wind blew harshly against her hair. She sighed her brunette locks got easily messed up. She huffed and paced all the way to her locker.

She walked past Kyla Walker and Erica Wilde, two girls from her history class. They were only two reasons why she'd be anywhere but right there at the moment.

She had to pretend and forced herself to smile at Kyla. "Hey."

"Morning, Miley," Kyla said, smiling. Erica just gave her a look that said, Why are you even talking to us, you pathetic loser?!

Miley brushed her hair to the side. She was sick of her bangs all up on her face. She placed them on the side. That's better…

She stomped up the stairs to where her locker was. That's when the last person she wanted to see had noticed her…and smiled.

"Hey there, Cyrus," her "friend", Selena smirked, "Sorry to ask but I need you to do me a huge favor."

You're not sorry…You expect me to pull shit off for your flat ass. "What up?"

"I need you to help me pick out an outfit for Lynn's party tonight," Selena said, looking into the mirror in her locker. The normal-sized mirror didn't entirely reveal her gigantic stuck-up face.

"Me? I thought I didn't have any fashion sense," Miley said, rolling her eyes.

"Well, actually, your fashion sense improved a little…And Madison and Lauren are out of town anyways…So you're all that's left."

"Gee…That makes me feel special."

"Uh huh…So can you please help me, Miley? Please?" Selena tried to widen her brown eyes because she thought it made it easier for Miley not to refuse.

"Fine. Just stop giving me that look. It gives me the creeps," she said, sighing.

"No problem," Selena said, slamming her locker shut, "Tonight's the night I'm finally going to hook up with Nick…He won't be able to resist." She smiled smugly.

"Finally? Considering it's Nick…I thought you guys would've gotten together sophomore year…"

"Please, honey. Nick's just playing hard to get…Believe me, I'm not the only one whose been trying to get into his pants these past three years."

Miley cringed. "You're really gross."

Selena didn't even blink. "And you're a total prude. You're probably the only virgin in our senior class."

Miley responded to her "friend" coldly. "I'm not the only virgin at this school, who respects herself and isn't desperate to make herself feel good by being the biggest whore."

"Awww Miley…You think I'm a whore? That's…the sweetest thing you've ever said to me. It's actually a confidence booster." Selena didn't look phased at all. That pissed Miley off even more.

"Whatever floats your boat…" she said, beginning to walk away.

"Wait up a sec," Selena said, grabbing her wrist.

"What?" Miley glared at her.

"You behave yourself. Or else my mom will fire your dad from getting his chance to host the new music competition." She glared at her but her eyes were practically smiling, which made Miley cringe even more.

Miley's eyes widened. "Fine…"

"Okay," Selena said as she suddenly turned herself into her school character, the sweet, lovable, adorable, innocent (?!) Selena Gomez. "Meet me in the parking lot right after school. I'll be five minutes late…since I have business I need to attend to." She smiled, raising her eyebrows.

Business, huh? When it comes to getting into a guy's pants, she does not waste time…How pathetic…

A few hours later, Miley stepped into her AP English class. It was her second-to-last period. She sat in the middle of the crowd of desks and sat beside a lost-looking dark haired girl.

"Hey Miles," her friend Demi smiled, "How you holding up?"

Miley forced herself to smile but it turned out to be a weak smile. "Okay…So what's up?"

Demi frowned at her best friend. "What has she gotten you into now?"

"Oh, it's not the worst thing she's ever made me do…Just to help her pick out something to wear for Lynn the Lovemaker's party tonight."

"Shouldn't be too hard. Victoria's Secret lingerie will do…I mean, she always ends up in that by the end of the night…" Demi sighed.

Demi and Selena used to be the best of friends…Until one summer after the eighth grade, Selena told Demi that she liked their neighborhood paperboy. They lived in the same block so it was fun for them to hang out at the time...

Flashback:

Demi was reading her summer reading book on her front porch and she yawned. "Cripes, this has got to be the most boring book I've ever attempted to read!"

She didn't realize that the paperboy was chuckling and she put her book down to see him right in front of her.

"Oh…You weren't supposed to see that…" Demi blushed.

The paperboy laughed. "No prob…Hey…You're reading The Shack?"

Demi sighed. "Yeah…It's mandatory…Whatever that means…"

"You're going to East Northumberland?"

"Yeah…"

"I'm going there right now," he said, smiling.

"Really?" Demi smiled, "What grade are you in?"

"It's going to be my senior year, actually…"

"Whoa!" Her mouth gaped right open. "You're…you're…"

"Old?" He raised his eyebrow at her.

"I was gonna say…You seem too old to be doing this job."

"Nah…It's not my full-time job. I'm covering for my cousin Matt for two weeks till he gets back from vacation. My little bro is the right age…But he's too distracted with playing the guitar."

Demi laughed. "That's pretty cool. He plays guitar? Me, too." Her eyes brightened.

He frowned because she was more focused on his so-called little brother than him. He decided to change the subject. "I'm Joe." He extended his hand out to her.

"Demi," she said, shaking his hand.

"You're always hanging with that girl who stares at me."

"Well, yeah. She's my best friend…But don't flatter yourself too much," Demi laughed.

"Does she like me?"

"I don't think I should be the one to answer that. You should go up to her and ask." She couldn't understand what she was feeling. She felt…attracted?!…to him? Oh no, she thought, this cannot be happening.

"But I don't want to hurt her feelings."

"Why would you be-?"

"Because I don't like her that way…" He frowned, feeling bad.

She looked at him in shock. How could anyone not like Selena? She's the prettiest girl she's ever known and her best friend to leave it at that. "You're serious…"

"I'm sorry…How do you think I should tell her without making her feel bad?"

"You should just go up to her and tell her that you don't see her that way…but that you want to be friends?" Demi said, nervously.

"I guess that's the best thing," he said, his eyes brightening up a little.

"But…can I ask you something?" She motioned for him to sit next to her on the porch swing.

"What's up?" He smiled, sitting next to her.

"Why don't you like Selena? I know the age difference is…kinda huge…But you don't seem that shallow…"

He chuckled. "Shallow? Thanks…Actually, I don't like her because…I kinda like someone else…But I'm not really sure how to tell her…"

Demi sighed, pretending to be a worried best friend. Being sarcastic was her specialty. "Is she head cheerleader and you're on the bleachers?"

"Clever…" He smirked and said, "But no. She's pretty much clueless…"

"Huh…Isn't that something?" Demi laughed.

"Yeah…I've seen her everyday all summer…But the thing is, she hasn't really seen me…" He looked intensely at fourteen year old Demi…It made her feel…older…But she couldn't understand this feeling…

"I don't get what you mean…" Demi said, eyes widening as she saw the way he looked at her.

"Because you're the clueless one, you dummy," he said as inched closer to her and kissed her lightly on the lips. It was a short kiss but it constantly replayed in Demi's mind nights after that…

"Joe, I-" Demi began to say.

"You little traitor…" She heard the icy words come out of her best friend's mouth. She saw that Selena was standing outside the front porch, disappointment and…revenge…seeping through her eyes.

"Selena! I didn't-"

"This friendship is over! I hate you!" Selena said, tears in her eyes.

"Sel! Wait!" Demi said, beginning to cry. The overflowing tears made her eyesight blurry.

"Save it, slut!" A rush of anger poured out of Selena as she ran off, not looking back for one second. A new, yet evil form of confidence appeared with each step she took.

"Demi…I'm so sorry…" Joe said, putting his hand on her shoulder.

She immediately pulled away from his grasp. "I don't think we should talk anymore."

"But-"

"It's for the best, Joe. But…I'll be honest. You made me feel like…a girl…for the first time ever in my life and I really liked it…But if it includes hurting my best friend in the process…I can't do this!"

Joe was about to say something but he immediately shut his lips. "Okay." He knew that she was about to tell him to go home but he saved her the trouble and he dragged himself away from her house.

After that, Demi constantly tried to call and visit Selena but…no dice. Selena was too stubborn to listen to her. It was then that freshman year started and Selena moved on, with her new crew of whores and bimbos. But deep inside, Demi knew, Selena was still hurt. She couldn't believe that her official ex-best friend wouldn't let her explain.

End of flashback

Miley said, "I don't know how you could've been friends with her…"

"That's because she was different Miley. And 5 seconds of doing something stupid really affected her…That stubborn bitch."

"I'm really sorry, Demi…" Miley whispered.

"It's okay…Because I learned that I can move on and make better friends." Demi smiled at Miley.

Miley retuned the smile but she knew that Demi was still hurting inside for losing her life-long best friend and seeing her becoming a total…Well, you can fill in the blank.

Pshh...Well, I thought I would start with this little preview...Then work my way up to the "drama". I'm not changing the characters' original names. Copyright disclaimer. I like the idea of high school drama...And making Selena evil is just so much fun for me. :D No offense to the Selena fans out there. ;D I hope you guys liked what I came up with. D:

Questions: What do you think will happen at Lynn's party? Will Demi and Selena ever reunite? Is Demi still thinking about Joe? What do you think is up with Miley?
