Proms Are Overrated - Part Two

Previously…

"So you still crushing on her now?" I asked, trying desperately not to care. If he wanted Hannah and not me, I knew it sounded silly, but it would be more than I could bear to hear.

"No," he answered, "I have a new crush. And I'm starting to really hope that she likes me too."

A smile came to my lips, "I see… Does this crush have a name?"

He paused for a fraction of a second and then his face came closer to mine and he whispered, "I think I can give you a pretty good idea of who she is…"

I felt his face come closer to mine, his sweet warm breath on my lips. I closed my eyes, ready to embrace him…

And then the music burst out into a rendition of the Macarena. I cringed with frustration. Nick was trying hard to suppress a smile but didn't look ready to dance to it.

Suddenly I was hit in the back of my head by one of the kids dancing. I turned around ready to give it to them, and saw Lilly and Oliver grooving to the beat.

"Hey guys," I said through gritted teeth.

"Miley!" Oliver exclaimed, "You're totally facing the wrong way!"

I realized the only way I would be able to talk to them is if I macarena-ed my way through it. I turned to Nick but he shrugged and stepped back.

"What are the odds that the boy doesn't know the Macarena?" I thought aloud.

"Miley," Lily giggled, "Why does your man-friend look exactly like Nick of Jonas?"

Oliver, catching on, stopped dancing, causing Lilly to crash into him. She started to complain but Oliver only had eyes for Nick.

"That's because he is Nick of Jonas!!!"

Lilly squealed, "JONAS BROTHER!!!!"

The music immediately stopped and the lights turned on, but even then, it still felt like there was a spotlight on Nick. I could feel the ground vibrate. I knew the signals. The mob was getting ready to charge…

"Wait - no - I can explain!" he started to say.

Suddenly, in that split second, I knew what I had to do. If it was Hannah standing there… I'd know what I want…

And so I stood right in front of him. "STOOOOOOOOOPP!!!!!" I yelled. Silence. And then - I don't know where he got it from but Oliver swiftly placed a cop hat on my head.

"A whistle would have been more appropriate," I muttered, "But thank you!"

"This man is NOT Nick of Jonas!" I said officially. "He is just a guy related in the smallest possible way to a friend of a friend… of a relative… of the family. His name is… Rick! Rick of Jonai!"

The crowd moved their eyes from me to Nick. I quickly muttered in his ear, "Your turn, Jo'Bro - They're all yours."

He paused, struggling with what to say, but it soon came to him. "Here me fellow teens… I am Jonai because me is a fan… of the war, in the stars and… may the force be. With. You."

I shut my eyes. He did not just say that. I turned to Oliver and Lilly gesturing for their support. Suddenly Oliver sniffed. Sniffed as if he was on the verge of crying and then he started clapping very loudly. Lilly swiftly caught on and started clapping too. I simply shrugged and followed suit.

Oliver came out from the crowd and held Nick's hand throwing their arms in the air as the whole grade started applauding. "NICK OF JONAI, EVERYONE! Nick of Jonai!!" Oliver yelled.

"RICK!" I corrected, "He means RICK." I fake laughed, "Okay move along, move along people, nothing to see here!"

Oliver gave me a puzzling look, "You know that is just a hat Miley. It doesn't really make you a cop - moments gone, okay?."

"Oh but it looks sooo real on me!" He wasn't buying it. I sighed and gave it back to him.

"Phew," Nick whispered, "That was soooo close."

"You mean you really are Nick of Jonas?" Lilly squealed in delight again, but much quieter this time. Nick looked to me for support, not sure whether he could admit the truth.

"It's all right. You can tell her. She's usually good at keeping other's people secret pop star identities."

She sunk her head, "Okay, sorry I ratted you out."

"Me too," apologized Oliver.

"Hey," Nick shrugged, "It's cool. I'm totally used to it. Our fans are crazy back home too." He shuddered as if remembering a rather crazy experience, "Thanks for having my back out there, Miley."

Oliver put his arm around Lilly, "Looks like they're getting ready to wrap everything up. Are you catching a ride back with us Miles?"

Before I could answer, Nick interrupted, "Wait!" he said. Then he turned to me, "Before you make up your mind to go home with your friends I was wondering if you'd like to get out of here for a while?"

"Cute Jonas say what?!"

"Miley!" Lilly insisted, "FYI. This is what one says when they usually ask someone on a date."

"Awwww, thanks Lilly but I sorta already figured that out, okay?"

She shrugged, "Whatever. Still think proms are overrated?"

"I don't know," I admitted.

Nick's cell went off and he glance towards the exit. "Er - Miley - you coming with?"

I turned to Lilly and she nodded.

"Sure," I told Nick and took his hand, "See you guys."

As I headed out of the school, hand in hand with Nick, there was something I couldn't quite comprehend. It wasn't the fact that I was with one of the most gorgeous guys ever - although that would take some getting used to. It was the fact that he didn't need a 'Hannah' to hide behind to cope with stardom.

"How do you do it?" I asked, a moment before realizing he had no idea what I was talking about. "I mean how do you manage to be in like one of the most famous bands ever and lead a normal life at the same time? Don't people treat you differently?"

He nodded, "You get the occasional enthusiasts. But mostly, kids just get used to it. You should come to my school, Horace Mantis Academy, and I could show you what I mean."

"You mean they actually get used to it? How long did that take? Years?"

He laughed, "Actually, it was more like a week or so. And with frequent class to class trips with The Big Man."

"The Big Man?" I giggled.

"He's our bodyguard," Nick said.

"I could never do that," I sighed, "Be caught with my bodyguard escorting me to classes. It would feel so weird. Everyone would treat me differently." Oh no. I slipped up! "I mean, not that I have a bodyguard or anything but if I did I would totally rather just pray for everything to be normal."

Nick sighed. Phew, that was close I thought. He placed a hand on my cheek and brought my chin up closer to his face, stroking his free fingers on his other hand through my hair.

"Now it's my turn to ask you a question. What did you mean when you said Lilly's usually good at keeping pop-stars identities? Who else does she know that's famous?"

"Hannah Montana," I blurted out, "Yeah she's really tight with Hannah. But she always good at keeping Hannah's secrets."

"Really?" Nick smiled, "How do you know that?"

"Well, I don't like to brag or anything but - you could say I'm sorta tight with Hannah too."

He seemed confused, "And yet when I mentioned that you reminded me of her, you had no idea who she was."

Uh-oh. My mouth opened and closed haphazardly as I tried to come up with an excuse but he didn't seem to mind my stuttering bewilderment.

"It's okay," he smiled, whispering softly and staring deeply into my eyes, "Your secret's safe with me… Hannah Montana."

Okay, cliffie, right? sorry it was just the right avenue for the story =)

also a super super mention to b(dot)inoriginality . She is like my favorite all-time ffic author ever. I had to write dot like that [(dot)] because her name would get cut off otherwise. (In case you didn't get it there's an actual dot in between her username). If you love Niley, you HAVE to check out her profile!! Or got to my favorites - it's in there too.

I'm currently working on another Niley ffic which I hope to have posted soon. So look out for it =)
