Alright, here's my new story. Miley and Jake, Destiny Hope and Leslie, live on farms just outside of Nashville, Tennessee. They grew up as the best of friends, but when Middle School gets thrown at them, and rumors of them being more, will things start to change?
Disclaimer: Ok, like, not to brag, but I totally have the hook up on this show about a teen girl that lives a double-life as a world famous popstar, and- WHAT?! Someone already has this idea?! Not for long…
6-year-old Destiny Hope Stewart sprinted across the pasture to a neighboring farm, where a blue truck was pulling into an unpaved drive-way. As she saw him getting out of the backseat, her speed increased, desperate to greet her best friend.
They had been neighbors their whole lives, and it had killed her to be away from him nearly the whole summer. He had managed to get a minor role in a movie that spring, and after their school year had ended, his family had taken a trip to California so he could be in it.
It had been the most boring summer of her short life; with only her brother and brat-cousin to play with. And since her brother had other friends, that left her to be pushed down a well by her evil identical cousin, Luann.
Destiny had always been a fast runner, but her friend was faster. And when he heard her feet kicking up dirt and sand faster than stampeding cows, he had taken off like lightening to greet her.
"Leslie!" She shouted happily as he reached, and tackled, her to the ground.
"Dessie!" He mimicked, using his nickname for her since Destiny was pretty long. When he was two, and started talking, that's all he could say of her name.
He stood up and extended his hand, to which she accepted, before yanking him into a hug. Not caring that they were both covered in dirt, he squeezed her so hard that she started coughing.
"Sorry." He said, pulling away. She smiled, and he noticed a tooth missing. His jaw dropped. "You lost your first tooth?!" Her head went up and down really fast for a brief moment. "Cool, how much'd ya get?"
"$5!" She exclaimed jubilantly. He looked impressed. "How was… Calforna?" She asked, saying the name slowly to try and get it right.
"It was fun. There were beaches, and dolphins, and lots of nice people. But it wasn't as much fun as playing with you." He answered, sadness in his last words. She smiled at this, knowing he had missed her too.
After helping the Ryans unload their car, she and Leslie, who of course won, raced back to her house. When they arrived, he was surprised to see her entire family there, celebrating his return.
He looked around, surprised to see them all there shouting, 'Welcome back, Leslie!" He turned to Destiny, who had a guilty/happy look.
"You did this?" She nodded, and he pulled her back into a tight embrace. He went around saying hi to everyone, which consisted of both his family and hers. The Stewarts and the Ryans had been family friends for a long time.
Later that afternoon, Destiny and Leslie were walking around the field together, savoring their last few days of summer break. Jackson had used one of his rare nice moments to tell Miley what school really gets like, and they weren't as excited to go to first grade as they had been about kindergarten.
Teachers started giving out school work to do at home, which really dampened their spirits. That would mean less play-time for them.
The two friends returned to the house. "Hey, mommy?! Is there any cake left?!" She called upstairs to her mother.
"Yeah, we saved two extra pieces for you and Leslie! They're on the counter!" Susan answered. They eagerly dug in.
"Ok, now if anyone gives either of you any trouble, just come find me." Jackson instructed as he, Destiny, and Leslie walked through the hallways of Farmer Elementary School.
"Relax, Jackson. We'll be fine." She assured her older brother. He took off in the direction of the third grade hallway, leaving the two first graders to go to Ms. Shepard's classroom.
When they walked in, Destiny was relieved to not see her cousin anywhere. They sat across from eachother at a table and silently observed the other kids. Soon, however, the bell rang and everyone found seats. The teacher, a kindly looking, younger woman with blonde hair curled at the ends, stood in front of the chalkboard.
Just as she was about to start talking, a girl with light brown hair and heavily tanned skin walked into the room, corn-rows taking up half of her head.
"Um, hi. My name's Breanna. I just moved here from Florida. Is this Ms. Shep-" she struggled pronouncing the teacher's name.
"Ms. Shepard, and yes. Why don't you take a seat over here." She gestured towards Leslie and Destiny's table. The girl smiled and walked over taking the seat next to Destiny.
"Hi, I'm Destiny." She held out her hand to the new girl, who shook it. "And this is my best friend, Leslie." She indicated towards the boy across from her.
"Leslie. Isn't that a girl's name?" Brianna asked curiously.
"It's both." He defended. Her mouth formed an O shape. Destiny could tell that the three of them were gonna get along just fine.
Their day went by fast, and soon Destiny, Jackson, and Leslie were walking home. When they arrived, the smell of chocolate chips cookies filled the house.
"Mommy, we're home!" Destiny shouted.
"Hey sweet pea, how was your first day of first grade?" Susan asked, wiping her sticky hands on a towel.
"It was alright." She said, taking a seat at the kitchen table. "There's this new girl and she seems pretty nice." She explained.
"That's great, honey." Susan said as she pulled the cookies out of the oven. As soon as they were cool enough, she gave one to each of the kids.
Kinda boring, I know, but it'll get better. Oh, and after this I'm doing one about Lilly and Oliver growing up in Malibu together, and if anyone wants to give me an idea, just tell me. No mushy romance stuff, though. I mean, they're kids!
