Miley and Lily sat at one of the benches eating their lunch not talking. Both had something on their mind, something that they thought the other would not understand. "So," Miley said, chewing a fry. "So," Lily copied. The silence came over them again. "Hey guys did you hear what the schools new fundraiser is?" Oliver asked squeezing his way in between the two. Miley just lookd at him her expression showing how little she cared. "Okay, someone's a little cranky." He turned to Lily. "They are gonna throw a concert, it's gonna have Sam McKay. It's being held at the park and there's gonna be rides and stuff, it's going to be awesome!" Oliver said slamming his palms on the table, causing a spoonful of peas to fly up and hit him in the face. Lily smiled at him as he spit out a few that landed in his mouth. "That's great, I'm gonna go." Miley said standing up. "What's her problem?" Oliver asked. Lily shrugged. "I don't know, she just seems kinda upset about something today." Lily said. Oliver nodded and fiddled with his fingers. "So uh Lily," He started. Lily turned to him her heart beating quickly. "You uh are gonna go to the concert right?" He asked his voice shaking. Lily nodded her heart beating more rapidly. "So you uh, maybe wanna go with me?"
"Like a date?" Lily said her eyebrows raised. She had been waiting to hear those words come from Oliver for a long time.
"Only if you want to and if not it's fine I'd be fine with just being your friend and," Lily cut him off with a simple peck on the lips. "I'd love to Oliver." She said with a smile. Oliver returned the smile and took Lily's hand.
In fourth hour Miley still had not spoken to Lily or Oliver. She didn't know how to talk to them anymore, she didn't know how to deal with everything that was going on. She continued to stare off into space as the teacher went on about some project due at the end of the week. This was when Miley was fully aware of her surroundings because at that moment Lily had turned to face her. "Hey Miley," Lily started.
"Lily don't even bother to ask, you know we're always partners." Miley told Lily reassuringly. What Lily said next both hurt and confused the brunette. "Actually, I wanted to know if you were okay, if Oliver and I worked together." Lily said unsure of Miley's reaction. "What, but who am I supposed to work with?" Miley said. She felt so betrayed by Lily, they had always been partners for every school project. "I'm sorry, it's just, me and Oliver, we're kinda dating." Lily said. Miley's mouth dropped.
"Best friend say what?" Lily gave her an apologetic face and turned back around. Miley sighed and put her head down on her folded arms. So far this day sucked. "Hey, Miley, you uh, mind if I was your partner?" A voice asked from behind Miley. She turned to find out who was asking and was met with some of the deepest brown eyes ever. "Uh, um sure yeah of course, you're the new girl right?"
The brown eyed brunette smiled. "Yeah, I'm Stephanie, you can call me Steph though." The brunette told her shaking her hand. Miley smiled at the girls friendlyness. "Ok, well um, you want to exchange numbers? That way we can call and plan and things." Miley nearly kicked herself for being so stupid. Call and plan and things what was I thinking? Stephanie giggled "Yeah that'd be great." Se said taking out a piece of paper. Miley couldn't help but notice the huge Hannah Montana design on her notebook. "You like Hannah Montana?" She asked. Again she wanted to kick herself. What a dumb question! "Oh yeah, do you?" Steph asked.
"Um yeah," Miley replied her eyes not looking at the brunette. Stephanie smiled at the quirkyness of Miley. She found it endearing. "Ok well here's my number and my cell, just call me whenever ok." She said before the bell rang. Miley smiled and nodded as she got up, tripping over her own bag. "Aw sweet niblets," Miley mumbled. "Oh my gosh are you ok?" Stephanie squeaked kneeling down next to Miley. She placed a comforting hand on Miley's shoulder and Miley thought she would faint. "Miley are you ok?" Lily asked unwrapping her feet that were tangled in the book bag strap. "Yeah I'm fine." Miley said getting up angrily embarrassed at herself. "Are you sure?" Stephanie said looking at her up and down checking for injuries. Miley smiled. "Yeah I'm fine." Miley reasuered. She stood back up and grabbed her things walking out of the classroom. "Miley, Miely slow down!" Lily called. Miley was just ready to get out of school. She hated block scheduling. Sure yay four classes but they were almost two hours long. She hated that, plus Lily betrayed her by dating Oliver, so Miley wasn't going to stop for her. She was yanked back and nearly fell backwards.
"Miley what is the big deal, you're still my best friend." Lily said. She didn't think Miley had any right t act this way. "But Lily, now whenever I wanna hang out with just you Oliver will always be there." Miley explained, Lily sighed. "Miley that's not gonna happen. I won't let it." Lily said. Miley smiled and nodded. "Ok, fine." She said. The two hugged and went there separate ways to get picked up.
When Miley reached her house Jackson was already there, watching some basketball game. "Jackson, leave I need to practice." She said. Jckson didn't move. "Jackson!"
"What?!" He asked.
"Go elsewhere, I have to practice!" Miley yelled, she had put up with too much today.
"No."
"You have a tv in you're room!"
"You have a guitar in yours! Besides the plasma's down here." Jackson replied. Miley groaned in frustration and stomped upstairs to her room. She was tired of having to battle with everyone. She fell back on her bed and grabbed her acoustic that lay next to it.
Why couldn't you have told me before
Now I just want to run out that door
Escape this lie Im giving myself
Face the truth
Cus its too scary not too
What if you never find out
How much you mean to me
What if you end up spending you life
With him unhappy
Miley stopped strumming and sighed. Although she didn't know what to make of these feelings towards her best friend she understood them. She knew she had fallen for a girl but facing it was too scary, it was so new and frightening. She put her guitar on the floor and searched through her pockets for Stephanie's number. At least she could take her mind off Lily by working.
"Hello?" Someone asked over the phone.
"Hey is uh Stephanie there?"
"This is." Miley smiled.
"Oh hey it's Miley, you wanna come over? We could talk about the project, or if you want we could hang out." Miley said. She heard something in the background, it was almost like screaming. "Oh yeah um I can et over there in maybe about an hour or so. I'll just call you when I'm on my way ok?"
"Ok, I'll be here. What's that noise?" Miley asked.
"Ok," Stephaine said away from the phone. Miley knew she was talking to someone else. "Um oh it's just a uh movie, I have to go though bye!" Miley went to say something but Stephanie had hung up before she got the chance. "Okay." Miley said giving the phone a confused look, like it would give her an answer. She put the phone down and walked down the stairs feeling cooled off and grabbed an apple.
