CHAPTER 1
Miley's POV
Today had to be one of the worst days of my life. You see, when I turned on the TV this morning, I was surprised to see that my school had been burnt down to a crisp. I wasn't really paying much attention, but it sounded like the reporter either said that King Kong was walking by with a huge torch in his hands or that the cafeteria worker left the stove unattended while talking on her cell phone. I think we both know which one is the real reason. I was really worried, though, because it was the middle of the school year. Where am I supposed to go to school now!!! Not that I like school, but it's the only place that I could see Jake! You know, Jake Ryan from Zombie High. That dude who says, "Dude! I slayed you once, don't make me slay you again!" Anyway, what am I supposed to do now! I mean yeah, he's going away to Romania for four months to film a movie, but what about when he comes back!
Just then, someone just had to knock on the door snapping me away from my thoughts about Jake and back to reality. My Dad, Robbie Ray Stewart, got the door and in came my two best friends Lilly and Oliver.
"Hey Miley! Did you here the news?" Lilly asked me while she and Oliver took a seat on either side of me.
"You mean that horrible news that I will probably never be able to see Jake again? Why yes, I did," I replied bitterly.
"What do you mean? He's in Romania for four months. When he gets back he may not even remember who you are," Oliver said. When he had finished, Lilly and I were looking at him with dagger eyes as if we were ready to attack him, but he had no clue what we were mad about.
"Way to make me feel better Oliver. It's bad enough I don't get to see him for four months, but if he forgets who I am, I might as well die," I said sadly.
"Oh come on Miley. Oliver is just being stupid. You should know by now that you can't believe anything he says."
"Yeah Miley…Wait. Hey you tricked me." I giggled a bit at this. No matter how tough the situation, my friends never failed to make her laugh.
"I guess you guys are right. I'm just going to have to move on. I can't spend my time mopping around about Jake. Who knows! Maybe where we go to school there may be hotter guys then Jake. We will just have to wait and see," I get up and go to the kitchen area and my two friends follow suit. "Hey, Dad?"
"Yeah Bud?"
"Did you ever find a place that I could go to school?"
"Actually Bud, yes I did. It's a place that's not too far away from here. It's called Pacific Coast Academy and it's a boarding school, but don't go jumping to conclusions."
"A Boarding school! Are you serious?!?"
"Sorry Miles, but yes I am. I also believe I said don't jump to conclusions. Let me tell you some of the many things PCA has to offer. It's right by a beach, they just recently allowed girls to attend, there are plenty of sports, and they even have their own sushi restaurant!"
"But I hate sushi…" I give him a blank expression.
"Yeah, but I love it!" He started chuckling at this.
"Come on Dad. It's not like you're going to be going to school there. Anyway, Lilly, Oliver, do you have any idea where you're going?"
"No." they both say in unison.
"But I'll try and see if I can go to PCA!" Lilly said. Oliver nodded. They were really good friends and were always there for me.
Later on that night
While I was in the middle of thinking about Jake, Lilly called. Boy does she know how to pick a time to distract me from my thoughts or what!
"Hello?"
"Hey Miley! It's me Lilly and Oliver! Guess what!"
"What?" I say unenthusiastically. I really didn't feel like playing a guessing game right now.
"Oliver and I—"but she got cut off.
"Lilly, let me tell her." Oliver said in a babyish way.
"Just tell me already!" I said in a pretty harsh way. I wasn't really trying to be mean; it's just that I wanted to get back to my thoughts.
"Well. Seems like someone's not in such a great mood." Oliver said trying to act offended.
"Sorry. It's just that you guys distracted me from my thoughts again."
"Oh. I see. You would rather think about Jake than talk to your friends. Ok. Well then I guess our news will have to wait," Lilly said, pretending to be hurt.
"NO! It's not like that."
"Oh whatever. Anyway, the news is that we can go to PCA too!" Oliver said happily.
"YEA!!! Hold on a minute guys." I put down the phone and started to dance around the room. Just then Jackson walked into the doorway and said, "You won't be dancing for long sis. I'm going to PCA too, you know."
"NOOO!!!" I scream. My Dad comes running into the room asking what's the matter.
"Jackson's going to PCA too?"
"Sorry bud."
"Ahh!" and with that my Dad and Jackson leave the room. I pick up my phone and tell my friends what all the commotion was about. They were both upset, but said that they would deal.
