"Thank you everybody!" Hannah yelled as she exited the stage. The blonde rush past everyone backstage and went straight to her dressing room. She was excited that her tour was finally over and tonight was going to be spent with her friends.

Miley entered the local IHOP and scanned the restaurant for the waiting party. She spotted the four seventeen year olds in a corner booth. As she approached the table, her best friend gave her a smile.

"Hey Miley! What took you so long? We've been waiting for about thirty minutes now.

"Oh Leslie, you know how California traffic can be." Miley lied. She'd clearly got caught up trying to leave the concert.

"Hey babe I saved you a seat right next to me." Miley's boyfriend, Jake, said as he patted the spot to his left.

She let out a quiet groan as she sat down. Not that she minded Jake, just sometimes he could be a bit annoying.

Miley acknowledged the other two people at the table with a small nod and a quick hello. Amber and Ashley were the stuck up bitches in the school, and the ONLY reason Miley put up with them was because they were Leslies' friends. She was glad the waitress came to take their orders because the awkwardness was too much. Miley stared at the waitress, she was hot, not that Miley was gay or anything, all the girls had those thoughts.

"Hello?" Leslie waved her hand in Miley's face.

"What?" The brunette snapped out of her daze.

"The waitress asked you what you wanted sweetie." Jake gave her a look.

"Oh!" Miley blushed "Uh, a guess just a burger and fries."

"I'll be right back with that" The waitress said, throwing Miley a wink.

"Is everything alright honey?" Jake asked while placing a kiss on Miley's forehead.

"I'm fine, I just had a long day and guess I zoned out. I'm gonna go to the restroom." She excused herself from the table and hid in the bathroom as long as she could.

When she came back, the food was already there. Amber, Ashley, and Leslie were discussing a movie they had seen earlier that day.

"Isn't he just delicious?" Amber said as she sat back down at the table. The two other girls agreed. Ashley gave Miley a look.

"So what do YOU think of Hayden Christensen?" she said with a small grin.

"I don't know, he's not really all that cute to me." Miley replied.

Jake gave her a little hug "Good answer, it's cause she thinks I'm the cutest boy in the world. Isn't that right?"

Miley gave a weak smile. Amber and Ashley giggled deviously.

After Miley was halfway done with her food, she decided she really wasn't all that hungry.

"You know y'all I think I'm gonna head home, I got a big test tomorrow and I need some sleep." she yawned.

Jake gave her a long kiss good-bye and the others waved as she left the restaurant.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As she entered the house, she heard her father yell from the kitchen.

"Hey Bud, you back already?" he came out of the kitchen.

She gave him a hug "Yeah I'm kinda tired, and I just wanna get to bed."

"Well okay" he kissed the top of her head "goodnight"

"Goodnight" she ran up the stairs into her room.

Finally in her room, Miley put some Kelly Clarkson on and slipped into her pajamas. She danced around her room along to the music. Kelly was her favorite singer, it showed with all the posters she had on the walls. Miley climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miley awoke to her cell phone ringing. She looked at the name on the screen. Jake. She answered with a sleepy hello.

"Hey babe, I was just wondering if I could take you to school today. We don't get to spend a

lot of time together." he said.

"Jake we hang out all the time." she said rubbing her eyes.

"Don't argue, I'm coming over in a bit… be ready." With that he hung up.

Annoyed, Miley got out of bed and picked out her clothes for the day. After she was ready, she headed downstairs. She saw Jake and her father talking about something, but stopped when she entered the room.

"What's going on?" she asked

"Nothing sweetheart, you have a nice day at school and good luck on your test." her father gave her a hug.

She left the house and got into Jake's car. Robbie Ray watched them drive off, wondering if he was making the right decision.
