Chapter 1
"God, he is just gorgeous."
"Miley, you are so guy-crazy, I mean how good looking can he-" Lilly's tirade broke off as she joined me in gazing dreamily at the new boy in school. He was tall, tanned, and good-looking. His name was Justin, or Jerry, or John… something along those lines anyway.
In short he was boring. But it didn't matter. I dated boring guys all the time. Hot, mind you, but boring. But maybe I'm not being fair, maybe they just all seem boring to me compared to the guy I've been crushing on for like forever. Not that it matters, he'll never see me like that. I mean here I was sitting right next to him, practically drooling over this new kid, and he was just eating.
Not a hint of irritation or jealousy or anything. Nothing. And why would there be? I'm just his "one of his two best gal-pals" as he so often puts it.
Then he glanced up from his food tray and I saw a look of disgust play across his features, although I was pretending not to look at him. As weird as it is, that scowl made my heart leap. That is until the donut had to open his mouth and speak.
"This cafeteria lasagna is disgusting."
"Shut up Oliver, I'm concentrating here," snapped Lilly.
I just sighed sadly, although he probably interpreted it as exasperation. The truth is, its probably a good thing that he doesn't think of me as anything more than a friend, because I would never ever admit how I feel about him.
I don't understand why I let it bother me so much. I mean, its just another lie right?
