Disclaimer: I hate this. I don't own Hannah Montana, really! I'm just a lonely sophomore... pun intended. Thanks.

AN: I know. I should be updating my other stories, but this idea won't go away and it's hindering my ability to write the next chapters. This is a one-shot... for now.

Summary: Just a silly idea I thought about, that I just had to get out of my system. What if Jake had done something in A New Kid in School to get away from his mobs of fans?

Warning: extended conversation. But I am gonna to just write their lines without being detailed like I am usually. I just want to build up the suspense before I just write the point of the story. Again, I reiterate: ONE-SHOT!!!!!!!!

Her Scent

'Okay, it's not that bad – she's over there… you can just go talk to her. The worse that could happen is that she rejects your apology and your fan club will go do their thing. But you can do this! You're strong, you're hot, and you're Jake Ryan! Okay? Go!'

Jake, who had a hat that covered his blond hair and sunglasses that covered his eyes, made his way to Miley and Lilly. They were chatting in a slightly hushed manner. He was careful to not spray them with sand as he went from the wooden docks to the sand.

"Hey, Miley! It's me, Jake. I'm in disguise."

Lilly dreamily sighed.

Miley said, "As what? An Ego Maniac TV Star in a Hat?"

Jake chuckled, this girl was really funny, sarcastic and cute. Okay, so she didn't like him and was openly hostile but he liked her anyway! "You're lucky, if my ego wasn't so big, that would have hurt."

She rolled her eyes while Lilly kept staring.

"Look, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute."

"Suuuure!"

"Uhhh I'm sorry, Lilly, I meant Miley?" Jake said.

"No problem!" She turned to Miley, who was looking at her with open disbelief, and squealed, "He knows my name!" Then she got up and left.

Jake moved closer to Miley and even squatted to make the conversation more private. He barely heard her say something for he suddenly caught a whiff of her scent.

He thought, 'Nice. She smells like honeysuckle, the beach and something else I can't name.'

She was standing up, and as he took off his glasses, he stood up as well. "Uhhh actually, I was just coming over to apologize for everything." Then he thought. 'Wow, she's pretty tall. And her eyes are nice. She's really cute.' As he thought that, he continued what he was saying, "I'm really not a bad guy, and I hope I get the chance to show you that."

She was slowly wearing down, he could tell. He just hoped that nothing bad will happen. He couldn't explain it... well maybe he could. He really liked this girl. Why, how and when - at first sight, he would guess. It helped that she was different from the others.

"Why do you care what I think?"

Oh boy. He knew that look. He had to tell the truth... or as much of it without scaring her off. "Well, to be honest - you're the only one at school who hasn't been falling all over me and I kinda like that. Plus, you're cute." 'Okay... that wasn't supposed to come out.' Then he started to feel a tingling sensation like something was going to happen. Call it an ominous feeling.

"Really? You think I'm cute... not that I care!" She sounded truly happy and shocked when he said that.

'Too late, the cat was out of the bag.' He was just about to reply when they heard, "Dude! You're Jake Ryan!"

Oh boy, here they go. "Uhhh, yeah... I guess my disguise didn't work."

Miley said in a, slightly petulant and mostly wry manner, "Wow! What a shocker."

Jake was really impressed by her wittiness and sarcasm. Everything about her impressed him, really. Her lips formed into this cute shape, and it brought them to his attention; it was like they were calling out to him, "Kiss me!" 'The next time we get interrupted, I'm just going to plant one on her. This is getting a little ridiculous.'

With that silly thought, he turned to his rabid fan.

"Do the line! Do the line!"

He wanted nothing more than to be rude right back, and just leave then follow Miley. They were having a conversation and it was starting to get good! But… he really couldn't do that when his budding career will be put on the line. So, he said, "I would but I'm kinda..." He was trying to politely decline, but he couldn't.

"Do. The. Line." Man, he was insistent.

Jake breathed in and just said dispassionately, "Dude, I slayed you once - don't make me slay you again."

"Yeah, you're better on TV." The impudent fan left.

"Miley, wait up!" Jake followed Miley who was walking away after that rude fan interrupted them. He didn't know why he had to set things right with her immediately - just the urge to do so. "Look... I'm sorry it's just... well, most of the time this star thing is cool; but sometimes, I just wish I could turn it off. You know? Just be a normal kid."

Miley looked at him in surprise, her eyes really softening and drowning him. "Really? You do?"

"OH MY GOSH!" Someone started screaming. It was an Asian girl who was drawing attention to herself, and in due time – them.

Jake just knew they were going to be interrupted again. Oh well. Looks like he gets to fulfill that thing he told himself he would do if there was ONE more interruption. Besides, he wanted to do it anyway!

Just before a crowd swarmed and separated them, he moved to take Miley into his arms. "Jake! Wha-!" He quickly silenced her with a kiss.

'Honeysuckle, the sea and freshly laundered clothes.' That was her scent.
