Prologue

Blake Anderson, the newest kid in the Freshman class, was mad.

No, mad was an understatement . . .He was pissed

He stared up at Seaview High School, a look of pure hatred on his face. He brushed his blond/white hair out of his eyes and shoved his hands into his jeans pockets.

"My life turned to living hell as soon as I came here" he muttered, his blue eyes cold. "One more day here is one less day I have to come back."

He looked around at all of the people that passed him.

Goths.

Jocks.

Preps.

Braniacs.

They all thought they were too good for him. No one liked him. Well, except for three people. Miley Stewart, Oliver Oaken, and Lilly Truscott. They befriended him the firs day he went to Seaview. Even when he was labeled a loser, did they stay.

They didn't know how much that hurt. Being called a loser. It hurt so bad he wished he could die right then. But, it didn't hurt as bad as seeing the look on his dad's face when he was getting beat up outside the front of his school. His dad knew. His dad knew how big of a loser he was.

"They're all going to pay" Blake whispered pulling his black sweatshirt over the pockets of his jeans. He didn't want anybody to see the gun. . .

Chapter One-Miley Stewart

"I'll see you later, dad!" I called as I grabbed my back pack from by the front door. "I'll be heading to the beach right after school, so I'll be home by around 6:30!"

I smiled as the California air blew across my face, making the air around me feel just a little cooler. I tucked a lock of brown hair behind my ear and rushed down to the end of my driveway where my two best friends were waiting.

Oliver Oaken and Lilly Truscott. As usual, Lilly had a skateboard under her foot.

"It's about time. Come on, let's go. High school isn't going to wait for us" Lilly said rolling her eyes, although a smile was on her face.

"Sorry about that, guys. Jackson took forever in the shower this morning" I replied, rolling my eyes.

"Jackson" Oliver said in a sympathetic way slowly shaking his head like a concerned parent.

I laughed and the three of us started the ten minute walk to Seaview High School. We're Freshman and loving it!

My name is Miley Stewart. I'm fourteen years old and I'm a Freshman at Seaview High School. I moved to Malibu when I was six years old. I love my life and I love my alternate life. I'm Hannah Montana you know.

We arrived at Seaview High and immediately spotted Amber and Ashley, the most popular girls in our class, laughing about something. The kids around them snickered. I motioned to Lilly and Oliver to follow me. We walked over and looked over the shoulders of the by standers.

"Not again" I moaned. Oliver and Lilly noticed too.

We immediately rushed over to the group of kids and saw that they were beating some kid up. I recognized him. He was my newest friend, Blake Anderson.

"Stop it! Get off him!" Oliver cried as he, Lilly and I grabbed onto the three boy sand pulled them off of Blake.

"Geek! We'll get you later" one of the boys spat. "You'll pay for asking out my girl." The boy was Miles Johnson. His girlfriend was Ashley.

"You asked out, Ashley?! Sweet nibblets, she's like one of the most popular girls in High School" I cried, grabbing a hold of one of Blake's arms.

Lilly grabbed his other arm and we helped him to his feet. His blond/white hair was falling into his blue eyes. He had a scratch across his left cheek and his lip was split.

"Don't rub it in" he said bitterly, spitting blood onto the floor. Oliver winced and grabbed his books and stuff. When he straightened, he noticed the dent in the row of lockers behind Blake.

"Ouch, that looked like it hurt" he commented. Lilly and I looked to where his eyes were fixed and we gasped in shock at the bent locker door.

"It feels worse" Blake replied in a dark tone as Oliver handed him his books. "Thanks. I'll be a little late to class. I'm going to the nurse."

"Ok, we'll tell the teacher for you" I replied with a nod. He gave me a warm smile. I could see the gratitude in his eyes.

"Thanks, Miles" he said quietly.

I nodded and Oliver, Lilly, and I hurried to our class. I got the feeling that Blake was watching us. I looked over my shoulder and noticed that he was. He was staring after us with an unrecognizable look on his face. But, his eyes were so piercing, that I had to look away.

"Lunch time. Why couldn't it be taco day?" Oliver complained as we sat down at our 'usual table.' I stared at the brown mush on my plate that was supposed to be meatloaf.

"I wish it was" I whined, pouting. I stabbed at the hunk of meat and made a face.

"Hey, guys, sorry I'm late" Lilly said breathlessly, rushing up to our table. Oliver smiled warmly at her.

"Yay! My life has meaning" he cried in a desperate tone. Lilly laughed and shook her head.

"Glad to hear it O gift from god!" she replied.

I covered my mouth with my hand and tried my hardest not to laugh out loud. It was obvious that Oliver and Lilly liked each other.

"Hey, Miley"

I turned with a smile on my face, but my smile faded immediately when I saw who it was.

"Jake Ryan" I replied with a nod.

"I can't wait for our English class. I heard we're going to be acting out Romeo and Juliet. Guess who Romeo is?" Jake said with a smile.

"Guess who'd rather kiss a frog?" I shot back with a smile.

OK, the thing here is I really, really like Jake. But, I didn't want to admit it to him because I heard that he liked some other girl. So, why try on a lost cause?

I raised an eyebrow as Jake winced and clutched his heart. He made a face of pain and leaned against the table. He looked at me through one eye.

"I'm not sure if you heard it, but you just broke my heart" Jake said, taking in deep breaths.

"And I don't care. Buh bi now" I replied, giving a small wave. Jake shook his head and walked off. I turned back to my lunch and noticed the look on Lilly and Oliver's face.

"What?" I asked innocently.

"When are you going to tell Jake you like him?" Lilly asked.

"When you tell Oliver you like him" I replied, amused. Oliver and Lilly blushed.

"I don't like Oliver that way. He's my best bud. It'd be too weird if we started dating" Lilly replied.

"Right" I said rolling my eyes. I started into my meatloaf. But, I had to force myself to swallow it; it was so bad. "Have any of you seen Blake?"

"Not since this morning" Oliver replied.

"I wonder how he's doing?" Lilly added.

The three of us turned at the sound of laughter. My heart sank when I took in what happened. Blake was lying on the floor, his face in his tray of food. Some of the jocks were dumping what was left of their lunch onto his back.

"Oh, Blake" I whispered.

Blake lifted his head from his tray and sent the jocks a death glare. They just laughed harder and left the cafeteria as the bell rang. Blake got up and rushed out of the cafeteria, using the doors on the other side of the room.

"Come on, we don't want to be late to class" Lilly said quietly.

Oliver and I nodded and followed her out of the cafeteria. We went our separate ways, Oliver and Lilly in one, me in the other. I got my books from my locker and headed towards the English room when some kids ran by me, knocking my books out of my arms.

"Jerks" I mumbled bending down to pick them up.

"Don't do it, man. Don't do it."

I turned around and saw some kid, backing down the hallway from around the corner. He had his hands up defensively and had a scared look on his face. I jumped at a loud cracking sound. I watched the boy fall to the floor, his hand covering his right arm. Kids ran by me, screaming. One word came to my mind then:

Gunshot.
