Jakes POV

As I stepped out of my limo I looked at my new school. So this is what a middle school looks like. Nobody was outside of course because I was late for class. But even without the kids, it was still nice to see what a regular school looked like.

When I walked inside and through the halls to my classroom, I took in this precious moment that I had at just being by myself. Now this was something I hardly got to do. But it only lasted the length of one hallway. When I turned the corner to another hallway I saw two girls peeking out from a classroom. Oh great, here it comes again. I began to prepare myself with my signature smile, but surprisingly they didn't run up to me. Instead they ran back into the classroom. I was confused and stopped a few feet before the classroom doorway. I looked at the number on the door, and then pulled out my schedule to see which classes I had. Yep this was mine alright. I sure hope it's not full of girls.

I walked in and it had just about half girls and boys, so a good size class, then one crazy teacher who thought I rocked. I have to admit that was pretty cool. Before I sat down I asked the teacher if I could say something to the class. I tried to ask everyone if they could think of me as a normal kid. They acted like they would, although I knew it wouldn't last. But I won't forget this one girl, who wanted me to shut up and sit down. Wow, this was new. Nobody has ever treated me like this before. I usually get attention, but never get pushed away. As odd as it seems- I want more of that.

There was an empty seat next to her. I took it and smiled at her as I sat down. She didn't return the smile; instead she rolled her eyes and looked in another direction. I just have to get to know her better. It didn't look easy, but that's what I like about it, because it's the change that I've always wanted.

After class I tried to leave the room quickly so I could meet her at lunch, but all the girls flocked up to me. I was usually prepared for this, but my thoughts were still on that girl and I had to find her. I saw her standing next to her friend's locker and talking with her friend. This would be a perfect time to talk to her, except there were all these people surrounding me. A few girls were leaning on both my shoulders. I was used to this, but this was still rather uncomfortable. So I decided to ask them if they could save me a seat at lunch. Those girls, along with everyone else surrounding me, heard my request and ran off to the lunch room. Worked like a charm. I guess some of these perks come in handy when I actually need them.

She was still at her friend's locker and told her she'd be at lunch in a minute, so her friend waved to her, saying her name and walked off to lunch. Miley...wow. Luckily her friend didn't see me because I hid around a corner. Now there she was, right in front of me. Nobody to get in my way. She was looking in her school bag for something and then looked up as I slowly walked toward her, smiling the whole way. However, she put on a death glare and didn't show any sign of mercy. I didn't want to fall for it though, I knew that wasn't the real her.

"Wow…Miley, that's a really pretty name."

I saw her expression lighten up momentarily at my compliment. She turned away, hoping I wouldn't notice. Then she put on a fake smile and turned back.

"Wow, Jake Ryan that's a...really annoying name! Did you honestly think I would fall for that line?" she replied a bit loudly but obviously didn't care. Everyone was at lunch anyway. I was a little taken aback, but didn't let my smile fade.

"Well no it wasn't a line Miley, I really do like your name. And I just want to get to know you better." I said quietly.

"W-wait me? Why me?"

"Well you know what you said in class? It was different, it was new to me. I liked it and I want more of it."

"Oh uh...why would you want to get to know me more? Don't you like all that other attention you get? Cause you know you are never going to get that attention from me Jake." she tried to end the conversation there and started heading lunch. But I stepped in front of her so she unwillingly stopped. Then she continued to stare me down with that death glare.

"No wait that's just it, I'm tired of all that attention. And the way you're treating me is like a regular kid. That's what I want to be and-"

Just then I heard the janitor call my name from behind me. I turned around to see two lockers made into one. Now there was lot's of space, different gadgets, everything lit up and was that a new iPod with a speaker system? Great, after what I just said this gives Miley even more of a reason to hate me. I turned back over to her. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was part way open.

"Hello? Miley? Look, I know it's pretty sweet, but it's not that amazing."

"Gosh, I don't care about that stuff; Jake that other half is my locker!"

Oh great! Why'd it have to be her locker? Another reason for her to hate me. I could have just apologized, but would she accept it? I wasn't even thinking, so instead I just tripped over my words.

"Oh that's y-your...uh? Well I just...I didn't want...I mean I'm really-"

"Sorry?" She was becoming impatient. I couldn't blame her. I had no idea what to do about this. Unless...

"Yeah, yeah that's it. I'm really sorry about this. I'm sure the last thing you need right now, is to get your locker taken. But I was just thinking, maybe we-"

"Yeah you're right I really don't need this right now. Oh and uh, don't think too hard you might hurt yourself." she smirked at me.

"Ouch. Look I can think just fine alright? So can you just listen to what I have to say?" Oh great, that tone may have come across a bit too harsh. Why did I say that?

"Ok, ok I'm sorry. Go ahead." she said with a hint of annoyance still in her voice.

"Well I was just thinking, maybe we could share this locker. I mean it is big enough." I tried to sound hopeful, but I knew she wouldn't want to do it anyway.

"Are you serious?" she chuckled. "Me, share a locker with you?"

"Come on it might be fun. Plus we could get to know each other better." I added quickly.

"What makes you think I would want to get to know you better?"

"Look I'm really not a bad guy and I just want a chance to show you that."

"Aww that was sweet and I'm sure I'll give you that chance, hmm...never. Ok? I'm just gonna go share with my friend"

"Come on Miley, now you're just being unreasonable. You know this is two lockers put into one. So it makes sense. And you'll just be really squished in your friend's locker."

She paused for a moment thinking about what I had just said. She knew it was true, but still contemplated weather or not she should share. Her arms were crossed and she was looking in another direction, glaring as she began to speak.

"Al..." she opened her mouth, managing to make a noise and then closed it again. Then Miley looked back at me and opened it once more to give me her answer. "...alright fine, I'll do it. But on separate shelves and you will not touch any of my things, got it?" Even though she tried to look and sound frustrated about this, a smile was spreading across my face because I knew this was the beginning of her already softening. Of course I was also happy because she was sharing with me.
