A/N: Eep! Don't kill me! For writing a Mikiley… I will return to Dériver, I just need time for inspiration… And OMG, I am really upset at Miley for doing that double Hannah Montana thing, where her "twin" comes out. I mean they could've put a 5 minute break in between if she needed time to get dressed. Ugh.
"What's with you two?" Lilly suspiciously eyed Mikayla and me.
"What?" I responded to her, trying to play dumb.
"Ever since she's been going to this school, you guys have been like… inseparable," Lilly huffed, staring at Mikayla with a disapproving look.
"It's nothing," I reassured Lilly, but oh it was something. She was absolutely the most amazing person I have ever met.
"If it's nothing, why are you looking at her dreamily?" Lilly pressed further.
Mikayla looked over at us quickly, and winked at me with her right eye. I felt my whole body melt underneath her gaze.
"Jeez, Miley. I'm not stupid. You've found a new best friend," Lilly breathed out, feeling defeated.
"No!" I practically screamed, "It's not that all Lilly!" I pulled Lilly's whole body close to me, "No one could ever replace you, Lilly…" I held her until I felt her arms wrap around me as well. I released her, and pushed her hair behind her ear, "You hear me, Lils, no one will ever take that spot…"
"Okay Miles," Lilly grinned, but it faded as quickly as it came, "but I really do feel like there's something going on between you and Mikayla…"
"Trust me, there's nothing."

"So what were you and Lilly talking about today in study hall?" Mikayla questioned me, while lying on my bed, chewing on some twizzlers.
"You, actually," I laughed slightly, and grabbed a twizzler from the bag next to Mikayla.
"Really?" Mikayla's eyes glinted with curiosity, "What about me? Was it about my totally hot bod?"
"Ha ha… sure!" I swiveled my chair back to the desk to continue some homework.
"Seriously Miley, what did you guys say about me?" Mikayla's voice almost seemed like she was unsure if I said anything bad about her.
"Lilly was just worried that she was losing me as a best friend to you," I felt bad, I turned Lilly down for hanging out this afternoon, and I made up some lame excuse, but the real reason was I just couldn't find the courage to tell her I already made plans with Mikayla.
"But am I your best friend?" Mikayla asked me as though she was hurt I didn't refer to her as one.
"Yes, yes, you and Lilly are my best friends," I quickly responded.
"Both?" Mikayla scuffed. She grabbed another twizzler and ripped it with her teeth, staring at me, waiting for me to deny I actually said they both were my best friends.
"Mikayla," I exasperated, "You and I have something special… and what Lilly and I have is just something different. I need both of you." No matter what I said, it just wasn't pleasing Mikayla.
I don't even know what Mikayla and I have… I know I said we have something special, but I don't even quite get what we have. In a way I wish we were something more… but I don't really know what I'm aiming for. I love being around her, and she makes me feel so comfortable, but nervous and excited at the same time.
"But you don't even hang out with her anymore," Mikayla wasn't going to stop pestering me until I told her she was the only person I need to survive.
"What do you want me to say, you're the only one for me?" Somehow that last part came out of my mouth like I was trying to seduce her… I really meant to say 'What do you want me to say, you're my only best friend?' but I guess it's a Freudian slip.
She seemed to do a double take with me; making sure those words really did just leave my lips. "W-What?" For once she's at loss with words, which never happens.
"Nothing," I said, not ever wanting to repeat those words again, "let's just start the homework, okay?"
"O-Okay."

"Miley, Oliver asked Mikayla out again, and you won't believe what she said!" Lilly was talking very fast, but the second she said Mikayla, her lips slowed down, and my heart stopped pumping. I grabbed my shirt right there, and clenched it, trying to see if I really did feel a pang there. "She said yes! Now Oliver's dating Mikayla! We can finally spend time together!"
"Excuse me Lilly," I pushed her out of the way and ran to the bathroom. I didn't want anyone to see me crying. I didn't want rumors to be spread.
I think I passed Mikayla on the way to the bathroom, I'm not quite sure though. I kept trying to tell myself just to take deep breaths, but it wasn't helping, nothing could stop me from crying. "Miley, what's wrong?" Lilly's voice echoed a bit, "I don't understand. Do you like Oliver?"
I just sobbed in response; I couldn't even explain to myself why I felt this way, so how would I be able to explain it to Lilly? "Where is she?" Mikayla asked entering the bathroom as well now.
"I've got the situation under control," Lilly said very forcefully.
"Obviously not if she's still crying," I just imagined Mikayla pushing Lilly against the wall right there.
"She's my best friend, let me handle this, get out," Lilly was sounding more and more angry by the second.
"She doesn't care about you anymore! She lied to you yesterday to hang out with me! Face it Lilly she hates you! So just leave!" Oh shit. Mikayla you did not just say that. My sobbing instantly stopped, and I think I heard Lilly actually whimper.
"Mi-Miley… is… is that true?" she sounded weak, like she would fall onto the floor any second. I opened the stall, and saw her standing there, her eyes already swelled with tears, just waiting for my confirmation, before they would fall. Mikayla stood far from her, with arms crossed, and eyebrows furrowed.
"Lils, I-I…" I walked towards Lilly, and she backed away from me.
"Just tell me Miley. Did you lie to me yesterday to hang out with Mikayla? Yes or no?"
"Yes," I said defeated, "but Lilly, you have to understand…" I didn't finish my sentence, for she already ran out of the bathroom to probably avoid me.
I didn't know what to feel at the moment. Anger? Sadness? Let me try to sort everything out. Mikayla's dating Oliver, that's sadness. Mikayla told Lilly I lied to her. That's anger. Lilly is angry with me. That's sadness. My eyes flared and I looked at Mikayla, "I can't believe you," then I walked out, not even wanting to hear her response.
