Hey, what do you think of when people say february? Valentines, love, red, pink, roses, boyfriend, girlfriend.. chocolate? Well, when they say February I think of a lot more things than that. I love Valentines and this year my Valentines was REALLY interesting... Let's just say that a lot of things can happen in two weeks.
Hi, my name's Miley Ray Stewart and i'm in first year of high school (9th grade) I'm not the popularest girl in the school but i'm not the nerdyest either.. I'm just a normal girl who has friends, is smart, studies and parties.. i'm basicly a nobody in my class but little did I know that that was going to change in just 14 days.
I woke up this morning and just threw on an over-used green tshirt. Today's friday so i'm finally getting out of school for two days. I went downstairs, grabbed my bag and got in the car, mom was already waiting for me so she just turned on the care and we went to school. When i got there every girl was wearing a red or pink shirt, today's February first! How could I forget? well, too bad. I went to my locker and a few minutes later my locker neighboor and my best friend for life, Selena, appeared next to me. "Hey"
I looked to my right and said to her "hey, sel" she looked at me with this weird expression
"why aren't you wearing a red or pink shirt?" she asked me raising and eyebrow
I sighed "I forgot. Plus, it's a whole month, what's the hurry?" she's my best friend and I adore her but she's not like me, she likes to get involve in every school activity, in every party, every fundraiser, everything. And me.. well, I could just lay in my couch and do nothing school-like on a saturday or sunday.. hell, any day. I'm not the most socializing person there is but I just don't like it
"are you kidding? I told you yesterday! We were supposed to be twinsies" I said sorry an she smiled "it's ok, let's do it on monday. pink shirt?" oh, I am not wearing a pink shirt! .. but I need to do it for her, I mean.. I could wear a jacket, right? "fine, a pink shirt on monday. let's head to class now"
We left the lockers and went to class. The day was passing really fast and we were in lunch already. We grabbed our food and made our way to a table in the middle of the cafeteria.
"so are you going to Sea High vs. Wrigley High football game?" she asked me as soon as we sat down
"after school?" I asked stupidly. I grabbed a french fry, dipped it on ketchup and ate it. Yum!
"no, on 3rd period!" she said sarcasticly "you know who's gonna be there?" she asked me a few seconds later with a smile on her face.
I wriggled my eyebrows and asked "who?"
"Nick"
She pushed my shoulder and laughed at me while I rolled my eyes "he plays football?" I raised my eyebrow
"no, Miles. Joe does. He's gonna go cause they are like brothers so.." she said as she ate her salad. See what I mean? I'm eating junk and she's eating healthy. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a fat, wart-filled ugly girl. I'm really skinny, with brown long wavy hair and big blue eyes and as much as I like to do nothing, I can't stay put one second.
"fine. we'll go to Wrigley after school" I sighed, ate another fry and smiled to myself without selena noticing.
You see, until last year I studied on another school and then when my class entered ninth grade we had to leave the other school because that one was until eight grade only. So my class got divided and half of it went to Sea High (mostly the girls) and the other 90% boys whet to Wrigley High but we still see each other. And Nick, he's a boy I like but he wasn't much of a friend of mine and when we studied togeher I was a really nerdy kid that sat behind everyone in class and didn't eat lunch in the cafeteria, I also didn't talk on class or of class so I was basicly invisable exept Selena of course, she knew me and Demi too but Demi went to Wrigley. And this summer I decided I was gonna talk more, I wasn't gonna seat on the end of the classroom and I was gonna socialize more (trying to work on that!). But that's not the point.. what i'm trying to tell you is that until this september he didn't notice me. Since I ldecided to change, i've been going to parties and things but only in a few occations. One time I was in this party at Tess's house, she's like.. the popularest girl in all of or class and she has the biggest house and as big as the house sounds, as big as her personality is. And it's not a good big personality... she's a total bitch! she's blonde, skinny and it's always gettin the boys.. she's probably already had a make out session. So I was at the party and I was with demi and selena and we were dancing and as the night got older I had to go to the bathroom so I told te girls and went to the house bathroom, on my way i saw nick.. and he was staring at me. not like a creeper stalkish stare.. it wad a cute and at the same time hot. We were looking at each other for like 5 seconds until he noticed I caught him staring and it felt like an eternity! I went to the bathroom and when I looked at myself in the mirror I was blushing like crazy and my smile was plastered in my face. No way of hiding it!
Then anoter time was in a fundraiser for Wrigley at a fast food place I was going to order and behind me was Nick. I felt someone and I looked back and there he was. I smiled at him and he grinned back, I immeadeatly turned around because I didn't want to seem like a total stalker and because the lady was asking me what I wanted. ok, so I have a crush on him.. alright fine i'm in love with nick.. i'll just hide it... ugh, i can't hide it! i love nicholas gray! i got out of my thought because of selena waving her hand on my face.
"huh?" I said confused
"you weren't paying attention were you? i've been talking to you for the past 10 minutes and suddenly you get all smiley" she said opening her eyes at me
I quickly stopped smiling "i'm sorry, Sel. I just got on board on my train of thoughts and left the table. What were you saying?" I smiled at her apollogitically
She smirked at me "I wonder what you were thinking about" and raised and eyebrow
"don't get me on my bad mood, or I won't go" I said. I knew she was gonna stop because she's always said to me that Nick and Iwere made for each other. She's always been friends with him, that's how she knows.. says her.
"no! you're going!" she stopped. "shall I repeat what I was telling you earlier before the bell rings?" she said acting like some english royalty or something. "yes, you shall" I awnsered smiling and imitating her
"I was telling you that my mom can drive us and pick us up there. Wanna come with me?" she asked as she finished her salad
"oh, sure. i'm just gonna let my mom know" I said and she nodded. "can you come with me to the bathroom?" she nodded again knowing what I meant. My school has this strict rule about no cellphones from 8:30 in the morning to 3:00 in the afternoon (class time). We went to te bathroom and I texted my mom. She replyed ok and just as planned that bell rang. My mom's pretty cool, she doesn't care if I text or use my phone as long as i'm good in class. Also she doesn't really care about what I do with my friends, but if I get in trouble.. let's not go there.
When school finished Selena's mom got there at least 5 minutes later. Selena got in the frontseat and I got on the backseat. "hey mom" Selena said as she buckled her seatbelt
"hi sweety" she looked at me by the little mirror "hi, Miles" I smiled and replyed to her "hey Mandy". Mandy, Selena's mom, is like mine but at the same time she's different.. like Selena and me. Since both pf us have grown together she's like my second mom and I love her. I don't call her mrs. Russo. I call her Mandy, she's my friend. "You guys ready to go to Wrigley?" se said and smiled
"YES!" Selena nodded and smiled. She turned up the music and "Pursuit of Happisness" by Kid Cudi came on. Selena knew I liked my music loud so when I told her to turn it up she followed my rule. We smiled as we sang and when we got there we said bye to Mandy and got off the car.
We went to the football field and saw Demi sitting on the highest bleacher so we walked up the stairs of them and sat next to her "hey girlies" she said and smiled a us "haven't seen you in a while" she kissed out cheeks as a nice welcoming gesture "I know, right?" Selena said. I smiled and said hi to her
A few minutes went by and we were talkin like we always do. Until demi said "hey, looks who's there Miles." she said as she winked at me.
"looks like the games starting" Selena said as I looked a few bleachers where Nick was sittin down. that means the game's gonna start in like five minutes.
"good. so, how's joe?" I asked trying to avoid te fact that tey were probably going to start talking to me about Nick.
"oh, come on Miles. Don't change the subject. Tell us, do you plan on talking to him?" I sighed
"i don't know Demi.. why are you suddenly bringing up this talk?" I asked and raised my eyebrow.
"oh, come on! you go talk to him, look he's staring at us" she smiled and waved at him. I looked down and he was waving to Demi back. He turned around and watched the game starting. I could hear Selena whispering something like 15 minutes after the game had started to Demi and I knew what she was saying exactly after Demi laughed and pushed me a few steps down where I landed right next to Nick.
I cursed her in between breaths and Nick looked at me when I sat on the bleacher
"hey" he said and smiled.. oh that smile was so amazing!
"hey" I said back and I could feel myself embarrasing me with my own thoughts.
"how are you?" he said being polite.
"i'm really good! thanks and you?" I asked as I felt the minutes pass like nascar racing cars.
"pretty good" he said and grinned. I don't know if he was being nice but I could feel myself get hotter and hotter and I was practicly sweating, and O don't know why.
"so, are you here to watch someone?" he asked trying to make a conversation.
"um.. yeah, the teams. I don't know which one I like more but Ii like them both and I come to see joe.. you know, as a friend. Selena and Demi are up there.. I don't know if they'll come down, though" I was talking so fast and I was getting tongue twisted, I never get tongue twisted! get your act together, Miley!
"woah, slow down, tiger" he chuckled "what'd you say? I didn't undersatand you very much" he looked at me. ugh, Miley, he's just a boy! why are you going so crazy all of the sudden? You used to see him every freaking day until last year! At least he didn't understand what I said so I have a chance at being cool.
"i'm sorry, i'm just sweaty" first lie to him
"and i start to talk when i'm under the sun" I smiled "I was saying that I came here with Selena to meet up with Demi because our schools play together and well.. we don't see each other that much so.. and to support, I guess" I shrugged nicely. he smiled
"I think that sounds cool. Are you sure you don't hang out with Demi so much? Cause she's always talking about you.. two. You and Selena, sorry I forgot what iIwas going to say" he chuckled a bit as I smiled and he touched his neck and moved his han up and down a bit. Nervous habbit.
"Um.. we do see each other but we take any excuse to see us every once in a while" i laughed.
"oh" he said and laughed a bit with me. Then he asked me "so did you suddenly wound up here?" he said it in a nice tone. wow, was that boy smart! he knew that I just sat there and I didn't have an excuse. I knew he knew what Demi and Selena tried to do. but I couldn't tell him that I liked him, I just talked to him for the first time! Since I knew he didn't see if someone was infront of me or anything I took that chance and said to him
"oh, no. there was this girl in front of me that was going to go up so i just sat here to let her and her group pass but i'm going to go so you can see the game" I smiled and started walking
"NO!" he shouted as soon as my butt let the seat "you can stay, if you want. I mean, this talk has been more interesting than the game"
Oh my gosh, i was literally going to scream! Nick Gray wanted me to sit next to him and keep talking?! I smiled and giggled inside of me
"ok" then I sat down again. "so, what's up?" I asked him.
He shrugged "i'm really bored right now" he chuckled
"me too" and a few seconds later he said
"wanna get out of here?" he raised his lip a little making a side smile
"what?" I asked confused and he replyed
"let's leave. We'll go to anywhere you want" he winked.. I was dying inside!
"well, ok" I paused as I thought about a place "mm.. I don't know.. Let's just walk around the school? You could show me around" I shrugged. I didn't know what to do but I wanted to be with him.. I'd even go to the library if I had too, and that's a lot coming from me.
"ok, let' do that" he said and we stood up a few minutes later when the players were on break. We entered the yet opened, empty school and started walking.
"it's so quiet over here" I said looking around.
"yeah, tha's cause it's a friday and there's a game. Come back next friday at 3:00 exactly.. if you want to be somewhere that's like a zoo" he laughed and i did too. his laugh is so contagious and so.. I can't discribe it. You just fall in love with him. "i can imagine."
We turned around and went to the lobby of the school, reception. There was a door to the principals office, to the secretary's ffice, to the nurse's office.. everythin was inside that door. But outside that door, there was a little lobby with seats, that's were we were sitting, looking at where the parents pick up their kids.
"so, how's school over there at Sea High?" He asked tryng to make a new conversation...again. I sighed
"I don't know what to call it" he looked at me confused "It's horrible." I rolled my eyes
"why is it horrible? it must be better than here" he asked me. I looked at him
"better than here? I don't think so. Here you don't have to see your worst enemy, which on my school I see Tess every freaking day".
he chuckled "you hate Tess?" he asked me in a tone I couldn't find out if it was good or not.
"yeah, a lot. i'm sorry it she's your friend" I opened my eyes because I didn't want to ruin this moment and I was not gonna risk getting in Tess's mouth.
He laughed a bit and told me "no, i hate her. she's a stuck up kid who thinks she's better than anyone" I nodded
"exactly!" I smiled becase we had something in common "she's a total bitch, and once she starts talking about you, you're in the head of everyone"
he moved his mouth in a weird expression "wow, that sounds tough. I guess you're rigt, it's better here" he paused "you should change schools" he smiled.
"are you crazy?" I raised my eyebrow "my mom graduated from there and i'm doing the same. tess or no tess" he nodded
"ok. sounds like you have a plan for your future" I nodded and smiled
"yes, I do"
And within minutes we started talking about each other and he knew my birthday date, my favorite color, my entire name, what I like, my favotite artsts, everything you can talk about to a person for the first time. And I also knew some things about him until Demi and Selena came and said we were leaving. I stood up from the seat I was sitting for about two or three hours and turned around and saw him standing.
"Eell, I guess this is goodbye" he smiled.
"i'll see you later?" i asked him.
he touched his neck, nervious tick.. said by him. "of course! hey, can i have your numer?" he asked shyly.
I said sure to him and started patting my pockets but didn't feel my phone. Demi, who was a frw feet away saw me panicking inside of me (she knows me so se knows everything even when i'm not showing it) and walked to me
"excuse me" she said as she tapped my shoulder "looking for this?" she asked in a smirk and handed me my phone.
"yeah, thanks" I said and turned around as soon as she left. "sorry." I apologized to nick "I think I left this when I was going down to the bathroom" I laughed a bit to not make the situation ackward between us.
"don't worry, here write your number and i'll write mine" we switched celphones and wrote each numbers in them. Then I said goodbye cause selena's mom, selena and demi were waiting for me. He kissed my cheek and said "talk to you later" then left quickly. I blushed as soon as he was gone and went to the car
"Oh my gosh! he gave you a kiss in the cheek?" Demi whispered in my ears "you've got to tell us!".
"shh!" I said to her. I didn't want selena's mom to know that I was with a boy, she would probably ask what we were doing. I mean if me and Nick got closer of course I was gonna tell mom and Mandy although they know about my crush and I knew she was gonna ask.
"so, who was that boy?" she asked me and raised a eyebrow while smiling
"a boy" I said and looked to the floor smiling. I knew she knew what I was doing!
"hm.." she said "...is that the famous nick?" she said to me.
"oh, I love this song. don't you guys?" Selena turned the music up and looked at us as we smiled thanking her for making her mom shut up.
"yeah, we love it" Demi said as she and Selena started singin and soon I joined them.
We reached Selena's house who leaves like 20 minutes away from me and we got of ad made ourselves some sandwiches. Mandy said that if we wanted we could stay the night and I didn't have to think twice. I texted my mom and said to her my plans and she replyed ok that that she would pick me up tomorrow. Demi, o the other side went to call her mother and about 35 "pretty please" her mother said yes.
It was about 9:30 and we were already in our pajamas.. yeah, me and Demi have our own little wardrobe in Selena's room. That's how much we stayed here. And we were in her bed, with our legs crossed eating ice crem which was located in each of our laps. Selena, who was eating Strawberry ice cream, asked me what haplened all day between me and Nick and Demi told me that I needed to tell them before she dumped her ice cream on my face.
"well, when.." I started after like 5 minutes of laughing "..you pushed me I sat down next to him and he started talkin to me like we were forever friends. Then he asked me if I wanted to leave cause the game was boring and we could talk somewhere else" I paused and smiled
"come on, miles! continue!" said Selena wit a smile
"then he gave me a 'tour' of his school but it was so obvious he didn't care about it and neiter did I so we went to the lobby and he asked me how school was for me and I told him it was horrible because every day I had to see Tess and he asked me if I hated her and I said yes and he stayed quiet for a few seconds" and I stopped because demi talked
"please, don't tell me he likes her!" she exclaimed.
"oh god no, he hates her" I told her back
"That's right. He's always told me that" Selena said quickly and I knew she said it because she was starting to get left out
"really? and you didn't bother to tell me?" I said to her trying to make her feel good and she smiled back so I continued
"so then we stared talking about everything! i told him my birthday and he told me his, i told him my favorite food and he told me his, I told him my favorite color and he told me his.."
"ok, I think we get what you're trying to say! you guys said the basic things to get to know you" said Demi and we laughed a bit
"yeah, exactly."
"how did it feel?" Selena asked "you know, talking to him, the boy you've got a crush on?" she asked me sincerely
"really?" I said as a question but it wasn't one, I was just trying to find the right words and when I did I continued "at first I felt so bad, I thought I was goonna puke from the nerves but then he told me he wanted to keep talking so we did and it became more relaxing and by the time you guys came I felt like I could be myself around him" I smiled remebering the amzaing day i've had.
"aw, I want that!" Seelena said in a cute yet im-jealous-of-you tone.
"you'll find it.. with Justin" I smiled again and winked at her. Demi laughed
"you guys don't talk about him. I don't know if he likes me or not" she said and hid her face as much as she could in between her shoulders.
"he likes you, Sel" I said to her reassuring her.
"how do you know? should I belive you? you din't believ me when I told you that Nick likes you" she said and raised her head again.
"that's another story.. I haven't, never in my life unti ltoday talked to Nick and you have talked to him. I didn't believ you cause i'v never fallen for a guy or anything. but with you.. you've been friends with Justin since what, 6th grade? 3 years?" I asked her
"no, since 3rd grade. 6 years." she said to me.
"well, I messed up the numbers, whatever. The thing is that you guys know each other for years. And you can easily see that he likes you cause he goes all gaga over you when you too are togeter." i said to her and she nodde saying i was inventing this to make her feel good.
"look Sels" Demi told her "Miley's right. I'm not always with you guys, but when I am.. it's clearly that he wants to date you and let's just say.. a friend knows you better than yourself, right?" she smiled.
"i guess" she said to Demi.
"do you believe me now?" I aksed. She just shrugged and I got an idea.
"you know what?" she looked at me
"what?" I smiled
"lets call him" I said to her and she started freaking out
"what? are you crazy?! he's going to think that i'm some stalker!" i interrupted her
"did I say I was gonna tell him you were here?" she stayed quiet. "exactly, now my okan is that i'm going to call him and start to casually talk to him and then i'll somehow mention you, ok? i'm gonna say Demi's with me in my house and we're bored, is that ok Demi?" she nodded
"yeah, whatever. Just call him!" she smiled and Selena pouted saying please don't but I just presse call and put my fingernin my mouth indicating her to shut up
just after a few rings justin picked up "hello?" he said casually
"hey justin." I said and Selena started hitting her head on a pillow but Demi grabbed the pillow and she stoped.
"what's up, miles?" he asked me
"nothing i'm just here in my room with Demi cause she's staying over but she's showering and there isn't anything to do" the lies were escaping my mouth as if I was telling a story but i'm like that.. i'm a very good liar.
"oh, well sounds cool?" he asked confused
"not at all. i'm bored. what are you doing?"
"nothing. i'm just tired. but i can talk" I could hear him yawn.. it was 11 on a friday night and we've had exams every freaking day.
"really? you can to to sleep" I saw Selena praying that he would go to sleep as soon as I said that
"no, it's ok. so.. oh, I heard you two were in the game at Wrigley?" he asked not feeling sure if what he had read in facebook was right
"um, yeah. how do you know?" I asked him curiously
"facebook. Jacob's status: just left the game at Wrigley. i saw Tess, Jason, Rachel, Amanda, Corbin, Miley, Selena and much more from our class. glad to know we support our team!" he told me the status and I nodded
"oh, Ihaven't checked it out. I need to log on facebook. I'll do it later. and yeah, I went with Selena an we met with Demi there. Why didn't you go?" I asked him
"I want to study for next week. Hey, how's Selena?" he asked and Selena widened her eyes
"she's fine. why you ask?" I said like I knew nothing
"just wondering. I mean, she isn't there with you, right?" he asked a little bit paranoid
"um, no. she couldn't come. family things." I lied again
"oh, well that's sad"
"what? that she couldn't come? she can come nect wek" I said as I kept saying words randomly
"yeah, but is she alright?" he asked weirdly
"yeah, she is. it's just a meetiing. why'd you chane the whole convo to her?" I asked trying to get him to tell why
"cause you know I like her." he said and Selena widened her eyes and smiled. Yes! my plan had worked!
"yeah, I do. You've told me billions of times"
he laughed "yeah"
"you should ask her out" I said to him an she put her head on the bed, smiling because of what he said
"you think she'll say yes?" he asked like the millionth wuestion in this phoen call
"I know she'll say yes" I smiled
"well.." he next thing I heard are some weird sounds coming from his phone and an "I can hear you" and the line went dead
Selena raised her head blushing like crazy an screamed "he likes me!" she smiled and kept blusing.
"your blushing!" demi told her "but keep it down caus eyour mom might be sleeping" she sat back down.
Selena was a teen pregnancy and as soon as she was born her dad left her mom in charge of hislittle aby girl. "oh right" she replyed and tocuhed her cheeks "i'm actually hot" she said touching her cheeks more. we laughed and she said "i'm goin to sleep. to much exitement on one day" she said an put her ice cream plate on her nightstand and so did we an Demi. Then she laid down on her bed an me an Demi went to our already prepared air beds. Just as I put my head on the pillow and Selena shut the lights off I closed my eyes and a few minutes later I recieved a text. and I thank god I was awake after I saw the text.

I left my iphone on and just locked the screen, then I held it with my hands in my chest. I was gonna sleep with it near me, it was like having Nick near me and I liked it. I wasn't planning on erasing this conversation.
