A/n: Well, I'm kinda upset that I only got one review but hey it's a start. I hope you like my story.

"Daddy, I'm home!" Miley called out as she pulled Mel into her beach house. No answer. "Maybe I should just wait until he's home to visit." Melanie said nervously.

Miley glared at her half-heartedly. "No you're staying. I want you to stay…Please." She pleaded with her famous puppy pout.

Melanie sighed. "Alright fine. I can't resist that face…" she said as she flopped down on the couch.

Miley smirked. Works every time. She thought as she sat next to Mel. A silence fell between the two girls but it was interrupted by Robbie Ray coming in with groceries.

"Hi Miles. Oh who's your friend?" he asked politely as he put the food away.

"This is my friend, Melanie Connors. She just started today."

"Nice to meet ya, Mr. Stewart." she said absently as she turned on the T.V. Miley frowned and slapped her arm. "Ow! What was that for?!" she yelled at the brunette next to her. Robbie Ray chuckled as he left the two girls alone.

Miley just smiled innocently. "I didn't do anything."

"Oh really?" Mel asked mischievously as she inched closer to Miley slowly.

Miley's eyes widened. "What are you doing?"

"Nothing…." She moved her hand and poked Miley's side, causing Miley to squeal. Mel smirked and poked her more. Soon she had Miley lying on the couch, screaming and squirming with laughter as she tickled her. "Take it back!"

"Never!" Miley giggled out. Mel straddled her hips and continued her tickle torture. "Alright! I'm sorry!"

Instantly, Mel stopped and stared at Miley panting. "See? That wasn't so hard, now was it?"

Miley glared at her but blushed when she noticed their current situation. "Um M-Mel? You can get off me now…"

Melanie's face scrunched up in confusion but she looked down and her eyes popped out of their sockets as she jumped off Miley. "S-Sorry Miley!" She stuttered out blushing.

Miley sat up; face red from laughing and blushing. "It's alright…"

They sat in uncomfortable silence until Melanie broke it. "Well we should get to know each other better. I'll go first. I just turned 17 this last summer. I just live with my mother, I'm an only child and we moved here after I was teased for being…." She trailed off. I can't tell her…

Miley looked over at her. "Being what?"

Mel inhaled then exhaled. "For being gay. I like girls Miley." She waited for Miley to tell her to leave but Miley surprised her and smiled, causing Mel to stare at her confused. "Why are you smiling? I thought you'd be upset."

Miley shook her head. "No, I'm not upset. I've gone through this before….when Lilly told me she was gay."

Mel's jaw dropped. "Lilly's gay? Wow…that was shocking…"

Miles giggled. "Well, I'm glad you can trust me by telling me this."

"I trust you. We're friends. We are friends, right?"

Miley grabbed her hand. "Yeah, friends." But there's something about you…

The clock chimed 5 o'clock causing both girls to jump. "Oh shit. I need to get home. My mom's going to kill me." Mel said as she picked up her backpack. "Oh one minute. I'm going to give you my cell number." She got out a pen and wrote her number on Miley's hand. "There. I'll see you tomorrow, Miles!" she said as she ran out.

Miley stood at the door, watching her new friend run off and then looked at the number on her hand, smiling.

A/n: second chappie! Yay! Read and Review!
