--------------------------------
Chapter One: Meet Nicole
A 14-year-old blonde girl stands in front of an impressive Malibu beach house, a skateboard under her arm. Tapping her foot, she yells, "MILEY! Come on!"
A girl with long, brown hair comes through the doorway. "God, Lilly, can't a girl spend a bit more time getting ready?"
Lilly rolls her eyes as they start walking. "Getting ready for the beach? Where all your makeup will wash off in the water? Oh, right, Jake will be there!"
Miley blushes a light pink. "That's not the case, Lilly! I just…wanted to find my best bikini."
"For Jake."
Miley punches Lilly in the arm. "Shut up."
Lilly is in the water while Miley is tanning, reading a magazine about Hannah Montana. Miley laughs as she reads the article. "Hannah Montana? Unnaturally blonde? You guys have no idea."
A girl with long brown hair and black sunglasses stands next to Miley. "Umm, is anybody sitting here?"
Miley shakes her head. She looks over at the girl. "Are you new here? I've never seen you before."
"Uh, yeah, I just moved here Friday," the girl says, spreading a towel on the sand.
"Well, I'm Miley Stewart. Nice to meet you."
"I'm Nicole. Nicole Bozich. Likewise." A pause wafted through the air. Then Nicole said, "Are you reading about Hannah Montana?"
"Yeah. You like her?" Miley scoots closer to Nicole.
"Yeah! I cannot get enough to her song, 'If We Were a Movie.' It's amazing!" Nicole gushed.
Miley smiles just as Lilly comes out of the water. "Miley, you gotta--" Lilly stops, noticing Nicole. "Hi."
"Hi," Nicole says coldly. "I'm Nicole."
"Lilly." Just as the silence was about to reach excruciating, Lilly's cell phone rang. She flipped it open and said, "Hello?…hey Mom…yeah…sure, just give me, like, ten minutes…okay…bye." Lilly flipped closed her phone and turned to Miley and Nicole, who were giggling over something.
"Uh, I gotta go, Miley. Call me later?" Lilly said.
"Uh huh, sure Lilly," Miley said, waving her away. "See ya later."
"See ya," Lilly starts to walk away. She looks back, seeing Nicole look at her as if Lilly was just some bug she wanted to crush. Lilly turns back around.
Lilly waits all night but never gets a call.
"Miley probably just forgot…she'll call tomorrow. Saturday is our mall day," Lilly says, falling asleep peacefully.
That morning, Lilly calls Miley's house. Miley's dad picks up.
"Hi, Mr. Stewart. Is Miley up yet?"
"Yah. She went to the mall about half an hour ago. I thought she was going with you," Miley's dad says.
"Oh. Okay. Thanks." Lilly hangs up the phone. Then she decides to call Oliver.
Oliver picks up his phone. "Oliver here."
"Oliver," Lilly says, "have you seen Miley?"
"Nope. Sorry, Lills."
"No prob. Thanks, anyway." Lilly hangs up the phone and flops onto her bed. She's at the mall with Nicole, Lilly thinks sadly. Oh well, she probably just wanted to get to know her better.
Lilly jolts up. "What am I doing? I'm not going to waste this beautiful Saturday!" Lilly grabs her skateboard and decides to go to the skate park.
