"Dad do you know where I put my black cardigan?" I shouted as I went trough my closet, trying to find something decent to wear for the next day. It was the beginning of my senior year of high school and I couldn't get more excited. Except I didn't have anything to wear. I was going to go to my first day of being senior with the same clothes I wore last year.
I looked at the clock, it was two pm already, so Demi should be back home by now. I ran downstairs and glanced at my dad who was trying to do my little sister's hair.
"Okay dad, I know you are forced to be our mom as well as our dad, but you seriously can't deal with Noah's hair. Let me help you, we don't want her friends laughing at her hair, right?" I laughed at the two of them. It was a really funny view, my dad trying to get Noah's curly hair settled while Noah was wearing her tutu and doing her little ballet moves.
My mom left us when I was ten years old and Noah was just born. For years it was just me, dad and Noah until my dad found a new girlfriend, younger one than my mother. I hated Olive from the second I saw her, she didn't fit our family. She worked with my dad for a few years as assistant in my dad's small studio and then one day dad just expected us to call her mom.
"Thank you very much Miley, but I have to learn how to do this. You will not be living here forever, helping me, so I need to learn to do things on my own." He smiled and kissed my forehead. "Oh and by the way, Demetria called so you might want to call her back." I looked at him with offended face and ran to the phone.
"Dad! Why didn't you tell me earlier! Argh, I hate you so much!" He just kept laughing at me as I dialed Demi's number in the phone.
"So, do you want to hear everything about my amazing summer?" Demi laughed at the phone and I jumped from happiness as I heard her voice.
"Well what do you think? Of course I want to hear everything! How about we meet at Joe's Pizza?" I offered. Joe's Pizza was a pizzeria next to our school. It was very cosy and cheep so that's why it was the place where everyone spent their spare time. It was owned by a guy named Joe, he was way over his twenties, but every girl had their eyes on him. He was like a friend.
"Sure thing Smiles, see ya there!" She closed the phone and I jumped from joy.
Demi and I were best friends, we had known each other forever. She was the most amazing person I had ever known. She was beautiful, like crazy beautiful, well you know she had that Hollywood type of beauty in her. She was intelligent too, straight A's only. And her parent's were outrageously rich so she could buy almost everything she wanted. She basically had everything. She had happily married parents, three siblings, a huge house and beautifully decorated room. She spent her summers in France with her aunt and now she was back from there.
"Oh and dad, could you please, please, please, please take Mate out today? Cause I'm seeing Demi in twenty and I have so much to talk with her." I looked at dad with my puppy dog eyes that I knew he couldn't say no to.
"Fine, I know you girls have lot of boy drama to talk about." I rolled my eyes at his comment. "But remember to come home early enough!" He shouted as I was half way out of the door already.
I looked inside of the Joe's from a window before walking in. I saw a lot of my friends there. In one table sat some boys from my class like Logan and Mike. They had grown up a lot this past summer. They were on the soccer team so I guessed they had spent their summer training only.
In another table I saw a few girls from my class. They were gossiping about something, you knew just by looking at them. They were whispering and looking at the boys, so most likely someone had a crush on someone and now they were wondering if that someone liked the other someone back.
I opened the door and walked in saying hi to everyone I knew. I wasn't necessarily the popular one, because Demi was. But everyone knew me as Demi's best friend so they were kind of forced to like me, because they knew that spending time with Demi meant spending time with me.
I ordered a hot chocolate, because I seriously hated coffee and walked to an empty corner table. The good thing about Joe's was that Joe never got angry if we didn't actually eat his pizza. IThe corner table was our table, me and Demi's. If Demi and I didn't sit there, no one did. Or if they did they moved away from it when we walked in to the coffee shop. It was the best table in the whole place because you were able too see everyone from it and still had privacy for conversations you didn't want anyone else to hear. I sat down and waited for Demi to arrive, I was a few minutes early and Demi was, as usual, late.
I stared at the window wishing I'd see Demi walking in, but then someone interrupted my staring.
"Hi Miley, how are you?" Logan smiled at me and sat next to me. Logan was a nice kid from my class, he had gone from annoying to bearable last year and now I was able to have a normal conversations with him, well sometimes.
"I'm alright, just waiting for Demi." I made a hint, that he should leave as I didn't need any one's company right now, beside Demi's. I didn't have time for this boy who would anyway end up insulting me in some way.
"I'm alright too, how was your summer? Mine was awesome, but too bad school starts tomorrow already. When is Demi coming?" He asked me, his eyes sparkling. I knew he had some kind of ulterior motive here. Of course he liked Demi and I was his way to get to her. Thankfully Demi walked in right then and I motioned her to join me. But instead of coming to our table she sat next to the other girls of my class and I felt disappointed. I would've liked to talk to her alone, just the two of us.
"Oh she's here already.." Logan muttered and I heard disappointment in his voice too.
"Look, you are wasting your time, I doubt Demi wants to date you. And I'll even save you from the embarrassment and I won't tell her that you came to me, okay?" I smiled at Logan who looked confused.
"Oh well yeah, I'll just go.." He kept muttering, he got up and walked a few steps before turning. "No wait, I mean, this wasn't about Demi. I wanted to know if you would like to go out with me sometime?" He asked and I froze. No one had ever asked me out and I had no idea how to react to a situation like this. I didn't even know if I wanted to go out with him.
"I.. I'll have to think about that.." I stuttered and he looked kind of sad, but it might have been just annoyance. Maybe it was just a joke that he and his friends would be laughing at in a few minutes.
"Okay, well I'll be waiting." He tried to smile but failed. I avoided his eye contact and he soon walked away from my table. Demi waited until he reached his table and then walked to me.
"Miley, what was that about? What did he want?" Demi asked, excited.
"I think Logan just asked me out." I still stuttered because I didn't understand what had happened. I looked at him, kind of waiting to see him laughing with his friends, but he didn't.
"And? What did you say?" Demi couldn't stay still, she was clearly annoyed that I didn't tell her everything right away.
"I said that I have to think about it." Demi looked at me like I was crazy so I felt I needed to explain myself to her. "First of all I don't know the guy at all, you know how he used to be annoying and all. And it just came from nowhere, so I can't just say yes." I knew that it sounded stupid, but I just couldn't say yes to him. I was the kind of girl who was raised to wait for her Prince Charming, the one that you loved from the second you laid your eyes on him.
"Well at least you didn't say no.. Miles, the guy is freaking hot, look at his body!" Demi threw her hands up in the air. "Why would you say no to him, and you don't need to know him, you'll get to know him when you are dating."She said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world. "So want to know about my summer?" She smiled and started to tell stories about french guys and the beach and how everything was so amazing in France. I laughed at her stories, complimented her new shoes and asked about the boys but deep inside I still felt jealous. I would never say it to her, but it did feel bad, knowing how she always got everything and I got nothing. But having her as a friend, made it much easier to deal with.
"I got you a little souvenir, do you want it?" Demi asked at me after hours of talking.
"You did? What is it?" I smiled at my best friend and hugged her, yes I was jealous sometimes but she was still the best friend in the whole wide world. She started to search her bag and soon found what she was looking for. She put a box on the table and motioned me to open it. As I opened the blue box I saw a beautiful necklace in it.
"It's beautiful! Thank you!" I hugged her and looked at the beautiful necklace. It was teardrop-shaped blue crystal in a silver chain. Demi took it and started to hang the necklace on my neck.
"And do you know the best part? I bought me one just like it!" I glanced over to her neck but saw her usual necklace, it was the dolphin shaped jewel that she got from her aunt three years ago.
"Oh I don't have it right now, because I didn't want to ruin the surprise, but we can both wear these tomorrow and they can be like our best friend necklaces." I laughed at her, we weren't twelve anymore. But I really liked the idea or us having the same kind of necklaces.
"I think I should go home, it's getting llate." I said and Demi agreed. We didn't want to be late when it was our first day of school the next day.
When I got home I took a long warm shower and thought about the next day. It would be nice to see everyone again. They'd probably all look so different though. I would be the only one without any change.
My hair was long and curly. Everyone always told me how they wanted to have hair just like mine, but in reality it was a hell to live with it. It was hard to brush and wash and it always got shaggy. I had brown eyes but I usually wore blue or green contacts for the change. My look was kind of natural, I didn't like to use too much makeup and I didn't dye my hair. Part of me was afraid of the change, I wasn't like Demi who would change her hair colour every two months. I was comfortable with the hairstyle I had now and didn't see any reason to change it.
As I went to sleep I thought about the upcoming year, we would be the oldest ones in high school. I'd have the pressure of getting to a college, but still it would be a lot of fun.
The next day I woke up to my alarm. I wasn't a morning person but the first day of school year always seemed easy for me. I went to bathroom and did my morning routines. This time I also added some makeup, to make this day special. Nothing much, just some mascara and lip gloss.
I walked downstairs and saw dad making breakfast, which immediately made my day better.
"Are you making french toast? I love you so so so much!" I shouted and hugged him. Noah laughed at us and I tousled her hair. "So whats up?" I asked as I sat dawn to the table.
"Me and daddy are going to the zoo today!" Noah smiled at me and I laughed at her, she was so excited.
"Yeah that we are. Miley I was supposed to talk to you about something.." My dad started and i could tell from his tone that it was important.
"Yeah what is it?" I took a bite from my toast and looked at the time. "Oh shit, gotta go, see ya later and you can tell me later, kay?" I gave both my dad and Noah a kiss to cheek and ran. I couldn't believe I was late from school and it was the first day of school.
Thankfully the bus was a bit late so I made it to school in time. As I walked to the school yard I saw all seniors in different groups and started to look for mine. Soon I saw Demi who was surrounded by a few girls. I made my way there and greeted everyone. Then hugged Demi and made a little happy dance with her.
"Have you seen anyone new? I think it's the same class as every year." Demi asked with a disappointed tone.
"No, I haven't, why?" I laughed as we walked away from the others just the two of us.
"Well I thought about my life the other day and I realized that my life is missing something, I seriously need a boyfriend. But then when I started to think about it and there's really not boyfriend material boys in this school. So my options are either try to find someone from another school or hope that someone has changed a lot this summer, or then the best option would be if there was some new student I could fall in love with." She explained with her hands and I hugged her.
"Keep wishing bestie, but I doubt there will be any new students." I smiled and started to drag her towards the front door where teachers were announcing where our homeroom was. "So did you hear any juicy gossips?" I knew that only thing keeping Demi from thinking about boys was gossip.
"Oh my god, you don't believe me but do you know what Sarah did during the summer, she dated Josh! Can you believe it? But apparently Josh has changed a lot, so I guess I still have hope of finding a boyfriend?" And back to the boys I thought and laughed at my best friend.
As we got to our homeroom and sat to our seats next to the window. Soon everyone else started to come in there too and sat around the class. I saw Logan walking in and smiling at me I smiled back, just to be polite. I saw his eyes light up as soon as he saw my smile and instantly regretted smiling at him. Sarah walked in with Josh and I smiled, they really did date. I also noticed Sarah's new hair style which was short. It was the same kind of hair Demi had the year before, and the style didn't fit Sarah at all.
After the students had all settled down to their seats our teacher Mr. Blair walked in. We usually called him Peter, because he was really nice and felt more like a friend than teacher.
"How is everyone, had a good summer? Good, then let's start with the unpleasant school related announcements. First of all, you are all seniors now, so congratulations! Second of all, as seniors you have to do twice as much work as you did last year, so good luck! And then the last part we have a great group here and we are mostly with this group the whole year so, let's have some fun!" He smiled at us and sat down to his desk. He was young for teacher and compared to other teachers he actually enjoyed teaching. I think every student in our class liked him, which made our class work so much better as a group.
"So I'm just going to give you few of these flayers and then we can start.." He said, but was interrupted buy a knock on the door, which Mr Blair opened.
And that's when he walked inside of the classroom, the most beautiful boy I had ever set my eyes on. His hair was brown and curly, he had chocolate brown eyes and he was smiling shyly. He was carrying a guitar case and he looked a bit lost, just like a puppy. He handed a note for Mr. Blair who read it.
"So apparently, we have a new student in our class, would you like to introduce yourself Mr?" He asked from the new student, expecting him to tell his name, but he was running a little late.
"Oh, it's Jonas, my name is Nick Jonas."
