Miley and Nick have been best friends since fourth grade. They've been through everything together. In fifth grade, when Miley was sick with the flu, Nick sat beside her and did everything she asked him to do. A week after that when Nick had the flu, Miley did the same.
In seventh grade, when Miley's dad cheated on her mom and left their family for his mistress, Nick was her shoulder to cry on.
In eighth grade, when Nick's mom and dad got in a car accident and died, Miley sat beside him and never left.
Ninth grade (freshman Year)
Miley is forced to start High School all alone. Nick had to move to the other side of the country to live with his aunt, so she doesn't have any real friends because Nick was always there so she didn't think she needed anyone else anymore. She was sadly awakened.
Across the country in New York, Nick has to learn to cope without Miley by his side. He makes new friends at his new school, but he still missed Miley.
Tenth grade (sophomore year)
Miley had become a cheerleader, something she'd been dying to try out for, she's popular, and everyone loves her. She's living the life, if only Nick were there to make it even better.
Back in New York, Nick's life is slightly similar, he's on the football team and he's on student council. He has a bunch of new friends, even more then he had freshman year, and he's happy, if only Miley were there to cheer for him (LOL).
Eleventh Grade (junior year)
Miley is still cheering, she has a boyfriend and she's ecstatic. She has so many friends and couldn't be happier. She hasn't forgotten about Nick, but she doesn't feel as if her whole world has crashed down every time she thinks of him. It's now just an 'I miss him' thought.
Nick is happy. He's single, but happy. He plays football, baseball, and soccer. He keeps his life busy so he doesn't have time to think about a certain girl that he misses. Yeah, that's right; Nick misses her so much that he crowds his schedule with plans and never has a free second. He's frustrated with himself.
Twelfth Grade (senior year)
Miley is captain of the cheerleading squad, and everyone loves her. She's single but happy. She has perfect grades. She was homecoming queen and Prom queen. She can't wait for college. She applied to UCLA, NYU, Stanford and Tulane (school in Louisiana if you've never heard of it) but is attending UCLA. She graduates in a week, she's valedictorian and her dad has a big surprise for her.
Nick was the captain of the football team and Class President. He graduated a few days ago. He was valedictorian and he gave a wonderful speech. His aunt and brothers were all so proud. He applied to UCLA, Julliard, Yale, and LSU(another Louisiana school if you haven't heard of it and god bless you if you live in United states and haven't, sorry but it's a University, most people have heard of it, I hope, this is where I'm going, once again, I hope…). He's leaving for Los Angeles in a few days to go see UCLA's campus and to do some other things that he plans to keep a secret.
Graduation Day (for Miley)
The principal says a few words then calls out the names of the graduates. But in the crowd of graduating students, Miley, who is trying hard to pay attention to her classmates walking across the stage, but remembers that she is the last to go up on stage since she is the valedictorian of a very large class, is looking around and spots her mom, dad, step-mom, 2-year-old half-(little) brother, Tyler, and… her heart stops and tears come to her eyes as she spots the person she'd missed so much but never realized how much till this very day.
She hears her name and quickly tears her eyes away from him and walks onto the stage. The principal hands her, her diploma and she approaches the podium with a smile on her face.
"During my past four years here, I think I have lived a dream. I was a cheerleader. I was Homecoming queen and Prom queen. I gave blood. I helped raise money for a charity. I was voted most likely to max out a credit card (everyone laughs) but I also had a really hard time when I first started here. You see (she looks directly at Nick) my friend lost his parents in a car accident in eighth grade and we'd been through thick and thin together, but after eighth grade, he was forced to move to New York with his aunt and brothers. He was my world and I thought I would die without him. I've been knowing some of my classmates since I was a baby, but in fourth grade when my friend came here, they all disappeared, I had no other friends and I thought that was okay but it wasn't and I figured that out when I started high school, so I joined cheerleading and I made friends. I got through four years of high school without him and yet, I'm fine. I guess what I'm trying to say is that starting high school, I thought that without him, I would be an outcast or someone who gets laughed at but I wasn't and I was happy again. This school changed me. I have memories here, memories that I'll never forget. It was nice knowing you Mr. Olsen. You've been an awesome principal. Thank You." And she walked off the stage and back to her seat.
After the whole thing was over and done with, Miley took pictures with all of her friends and her mom and dad. Tyler wanted to take pictures all day but he couldn't…someone spoke up before he could finish.
"Can I have a few pictures, please?" She smiled big with the sound of his voice. She turned around facing him after setting Tyler down for him to fun to his mom (her step-mom).
He opened his arms and she ran into them. He picked her up and she hugged him tight "I missed you so much! I can't believe you're actually here."
"Your dad called and told me he wanted to get you a present you'd love, and when I heard his plan I looked into it and my Aunt Tara said that I could come as long as it's after graduation and it was, so here I am." He set her down.
"I still can't believe you're here!"
"You want to know another surprise?"
"There's more?"
"Well, you mom and dad don't know about this one, but a little birdie told me that you were going to UCLA."
"Yeah, and?"
He leaned down to her ear and whispered, "So am I."
She screamed and hugged him again. "I'm going to college with you? This day can't get any better!"
Her mom stepped in, "Says who?" she lifted up two plane tickets.
Miley took them and read them "I'm going to Paris?"
Nick smiled at her "with me." Her eyes widened and her smile got even bigger.
"This is the best day ever! I graduated, I'm going to the college of my dreams with my best friend who I haven't seen in like four years, and I'm going to Paris with my best friend who I haven't seen in like four years! Thank you so much mom!"
"You're father flew Nick out here."
"Daddy?" she looked around the other parents for her father.
"He's meeting us at the house, he has yet another surprise for you."
"Really?" her mom nods and she smiles. "Just let me go return my robe and I'll meet you at the car in like 10 minutes, okay?"
"Actually, take Nick's car and you can meet us there. I still have to let your father inside." She kisses Miley's cheek. "See you at home." And she left.
"Okay, well let's go return your robe so we can get going."
"Okay"
About twenty minutes later, they are in the car on their way back to her house.
"So, are you ready for Paris?"
"I guess, are you ready for UCLA?"
"I guess."
They pull up to the house.
Inside
"I'm home!" She walked into the house and into the living room, Nick following her.
"Hey, Miley, come with me, please?"
"Uh, sure." She follows her father outside and into the driveway.
"Congratulations!" He handed her the keys to her brand new Convertible Volkswagen Beetle.

"Oh my gosh! Thank you so much Dad! This is the best present ever, you know right after Nick and the Paris tickets." She hugged him. "Thank you."
He hugged her back "No problem bud."
Back in the house a while later
Everyone is eating dinner, still at Miley's house…
She looks up at everyone. "Uh, I just wanted to tell you guys thank you. This has been the best day ever. I can't wait to go to Paris, mom. Dad and Sarah, I can't wait to drive to UCLA in my new car. Everything is perfect, thanks."
