Trying To Get Through
Chapter 2
Lilly's POV:
I noticed the new girl, Miley, glancing in our direction all throughout class. I'm not sure if she was trying to catch a peek at me or at Oliver. We've been passing notes back and forth for the last 15 minutes trying to kill time. The first day of classes are always so boring with teachers going over syllabuses and unacceptable behavior in class. I catch another glance in our direction from Miley just as another note from Oliver lands on my desk. Unfolding the note, I read what Oliver has to say. It seems my current thoughts about a new brunette is now our new topic of discussion.
Hey, so you talked to the new girl. What's she like? She's cute. She keeps looking over here. I think she likes me. Oh yeah, Smokin' Oken strikes again.
I don't even have to look over at Oliver to know that he's got a grin on his face. I can even imagine him popping his collar as he wrote the last sentence. That boy really does think he's God's gift to women. Ha. I love him, but he is seriously a doughnut sometimes.
I quickly write back my reply.
She seems nice. Did you hear her accent? It's fricking adorable. She's from Tennessee and has a southern twangy accent. She was trying to hide it at first. And yeah, she's definitely cute. I'd even go as far to say she's hot. And Oliver, not every girl likes you. She could be looking at me you know.
I toss the note back on his desk and I hear him chuckle as he reads it. It's not long before the note is back on my desk.
An accent? I gotta hear this. And for the record, ALL girls want me! I bet she doesn't even swing that way. You want to make a bet to see who gets a date with her first? Will be an easy win for me.
Oh the nerve of him sometimes. I look over at him to see that he has one eyebrow lifted in an arrogant manner. Hastily, I jot down my reply.
All Girls?! I never liked you! And a bet? You're so on. And when I win, you as the loser, have to wear a dress to school!
Folding the note up, I wait until the teacher turns back around to face the chalkboard before tossing the note back to Oliver. I picture Oliver in a dress and can't help but giggle at the picture it presents in my mind. Oh, I'm so winning this bet to see this. And the big bonus will of course be the date with Miley.
I look to my right and see that she's currently jotting notes down from the board into her notebook. I guess she's the studious type. It's kind of cute how she crinkles her brow as she writes.
Seeing the note back on my desk, I open it to read Oliver's reply.
First off, you don't count, and secondly, you're on. But, I'm gonna win, and when I do, YOU have to wear a dress to school for an entire week!
Ok, I know what you're thinking. What's the big deal about me wearing a dress? I am a girl after all. It's not that simple though. I just simply DON"T do dresses. I can't stand 'em. I pretty much look like a dork wearing them and I admit, I'm a bit of a tomboy. But ok, I think I can deal with that if I were to lose, which I'm not, so it's a moot point.
I don't bother to write down a reply as class has just ended. Instead, I just lean over slightly towards Oliver and whisper to him.
"Bet! You're on!"
Miley's POV:
As the bell rings to signal the end of class, I cast one last glance at Lilly before packing up my books. She's leaning over towards her boyfriend whispering something to him.
"Hey Miles, Miley!" Lilly calls to me as I'm heading for the door. "What's your next class? I'll show you how to get there."
I pull my schedule out of my backpack and hand it to her. A grin comes to her face as she reads over it.
"Cool, we have a lot of the same classes. I'll be able to show you to 1st, 2nd, 4th, lunch and 6th. Well, you already know where 1st period is obviously," she says with a blush as she looks back at the class we just exited. "I can show you to your other classes as well if you want me too. Anyhow, uh, what do you think of Seaview High so far?"
"I think I'm gonna like it here," I say with a sly grin on my face while glancing at her out of the corner of my eye. Oh yeah, I think I'm definitely gonna to like it here. Well as soon as I figure out how to win her from her boyfriend.
The next few classes flew by, I was too busy thinking of the blond haired wonder. Then before I knew it, it was lunch time. Lilly showed me what food was best and what she didn't recommend. Luckily I brought my own lunch as I've always hated cafeteria food.
We sat down at a table and Lilly sat next to her friend. I looked between the two of them, figuring out what I should say, but then her boyfriend spoke up. "Oh I guess I never introduced myself yet." He started to flirt…odd. "I'm Oliver Oken, also known as-" he started to pop his collar, but Lilly cut him off.
"Oh shut it Oken." She punched him on the side of the shoulder. "He thinks he's such a ladies man, so he calls himself, 'Smokin' Oken'." Lilly air quoted and rolled her eyes. Then she started eating.
I was confused for a moment, but then it clicked. "So Lilly, by the way you said that, I'm assuming you two aren't together then?"
She chuckled a bit. "No, what makes you think that?"
"Well, in first period by the way you guys were laughing with each other and passing notes all the time, I just wondered what it might be about." I shrugged my shoulders and then started eating. Then Oliver suddenly spoke up.
"Hey I really do like your accent too, by the way. Lilly told me that it's frickin adorable!" then I heard Lilly slightly gasp. Apparently Oliver wasn't supposed to say that.
I suppressed a giggle and then looked up at Lilly while eating my sandwich. She had a huge blush that began to come across her cheeks. She was bowing her head as she was eating. So I just waited for someone to speak; Lilly did, after a minute the cute blush had faded. "Pfsst, no way, we're just really good friends, ever since we were little." She nodded and so did Oliver.
"So have you made any new friends here yet?" Oliver asked me.
"Other then you guys, no I haven't."
I saw Oliver look at Lilly and give her a sly look. Lilly simply glared back at him. He turned back to me. "Have you been looking around to date? Or is it too soon for you?"
"Get off her back Oliver," Lilly said to him with another punch in the shoulder. "She doesn't need that right now. It's none of your business."
For some reason I felt comfortable around them, so I just talked with them about it. "No it's really ok guys. Well I'm not with anybody right now, so I guess you could say I'm available. But I'm also not too anxious right now." Of course that last part was a total lie, but what else was I supposed to say?
"But you're available?" Oliver asked to make sure. That boy was a total give away.
"Uh, since I'm not with anybody, I think you can do the math from there. Right Oliver?" he gave me a small glare, then Lilly smiled at me.
"Hey hey, you're doing well at talking to him when he acts like a doughnut. Almost as good as me." she put her hand up and I high-fived it. That one second…electricity! That one touch…amazing! When I put my hand back on the table I looked at her face, she was looking down, by the look on her face it looked like she had just shocked herself. She couldn't swing my way…could she? Maybe I could figure it out.
"So uh, if you guys have been such great friends for so long, have you ever thought about…dating each other?" Wow, that came out bolder then I expected.
They glanced at each other, then Oliver spoke. For just a second I glanced at a nervous looking Lilly. "Well uh, I guess you could say that, I'm not really her type. Ow! Hmm…" Oliver suddenly groaned right after I had hear a thud under the table. "You know what, I'm just gonna go to the bathroom for a minute. I'll just let you two stay here and…chat." Then he walked off into to hallway, limping slightly.
"Lilly what was-" I pointed at the limping away Oliver, then she cut me off to avoid the subject.
"So Miles, what's Tennessee like? Why'd you move to California? What kind of music do you like?" She asked all in a rush, while leaning on her arms and staring at me. I tried to figure out how to answer most of the questions.
"Oh well, Tennessee is really nice, at least I like it 'cause I'm a country girl you know. And I do like country music of course, then I kind of like pop too. I do like to play the guitar too. Anyway Lilly, if you don't mind me asking, what did Oliver mean when he said you're not his type?" there came a blush spread across her cheeks again.
"That's so cool that you play the guitar. Wait a minute you never answered why you moved-"
I wasn't sure I was ready to answer that question yet. I stopped her. "Lilly, you're pretty random you know?" I smiled, so did she. "So…do you like anyone then?"
"Oh, haha I-I guess you could say so, but it's not really-"
"Oh come on, I know I've only been here for like half a day, but you can tell me." I prodded her to keep talking.
