A/N: Just to remind you guys, the only thing that connects my story to Hannah Montana are the names. So that means that Lilly is a brunette and Amber is blonde. ^-^ Thanks to all of you guys who reviewed and subscribed to my story!

Two months later…

Winter was approaching in the small town of Reston, New York. It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and I wasn't going to waste it inside. I took a walk around my neighbourhood and I used the quiet peace to think. One thing I was right about was that me and Derek weren't friends. We couldn't be friends. Everytime we saw each other; we never knew what to say. I spent the past two months trying to get over Derek which I've almost succeeded in doing. Of course, Miley, Nikki and Hilary helped me. And Oliver, the bestest friend a girl could ask for.

When I was with Oliver, I was never sad for long. His friends were the popular guys (including Derek), just like how my friends were the popular girls. I told him all my Derek issues and I was totally comfortable talking to him about that kind of stuff, more comfortable than talking to my girl friends about it. And he was comfortable talking to me about crushes and stuff too. We understood each other which was why we were the best of friends.

"Hey! Lilly! Wait up!"

I couldn't help but smile when I heard that voice. Speak of the devil…

Oliver's point of view

I quickly caught up to Lilly. "I knew it was you." I said, grinning. How could I not recognize her? We've been best friends for years. "So, how's life?"

"If you mean how I feel about Derek, then for the millionth time, I'm over him!" Lilly said, putting a lot of force into the last three words. But she was smiling, so I knew she was going to be ok.

"Good. You're coming over to my place tomorrow to work on our science project, right?" I asked.

"Yep. The sun. God, how boring of a topic is that?" she replied, which got us started on a long conversation about why science is so boring. We continued to talk until we reached her house.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow." Lilly said.

"Yep, bye." I replied as I headed back to my house.

That night, I couldn't stop thinking about Lilly. Her long chocolate-coloured hair, her ocean blue eyes, the way she laughed, her beautiful smile… This wasn't the first time I'd done this; I just couldn't figure out why. As I slowly drifted into a deep slumber, a thought crossed my mind. Am I in love with Lilly Truscott?

The next morning, I couldn't help but wonder if I really was in love with Lilly. She's one of my best friends, for crying out loud. But the more I thought about it, the more I realised that lately, I was wishing that I had a girlfriend. A girlfriend who was kind, pretty, smart; like Lilly. And the more I though about it, the more I realised "lately" was a couple months. No, this couldn't be happening. I wasn't falling for a girl who was practically my sister. My best friend who still isn't over her ex, an ex who was one of my best friends.

Just then, the phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Dude! Guess what?" an excited voice said. It was Jake.

"I don't know. You found out that some famous guy is your long lost brother and now you're moving to Hollywood and your family's going to be rich and you're never coming back to Reston."

"That'd be pretty awesome but no. Derek is dating Amber!"

"Are you kidding me?"

"No joke, I swear. He just told me that he and Amber went to the movies and he told her he liked her."

"Wow. That's-that's… wow."

"I know, eh? And he just broke up with Lilly two months ago."

"That's just crazy, man."

"Yeah, well, sorry to be so short but I have to study for my science test. I'll see you at school."

"Bye."

What was I going to do? Should I tell Lilly? No, it'd be too hard; I didn't want to be the one to tell her that her ex was dating her mortal enemy. Besides, she'd hear about it when she got to school tomorrow.

Around one p.m. the doorbell rang. "I got it!" I yelled. I jerked open the door and Lilly came in.

"Hey. Did you eat yet?" she said, as she took off her coat and hung it in the closet.

"Yep. How about you?" I asked as we went into the computer room to work.

"Same." She replied.

For about an hour we researched the sun, built a model of the sun and wrote a paper on the sun before I collapsed on the floor. Lilly giggled when I pretended to snore and lay down on the floor beside me.

"At least we're almost finished. That's a good thing." She said.

"Uh-huh." I grunted and sat up. "I'm hungry. Want some cake? My mom made it. You know you want some."

"How could I turn down your mom's cake?" she laughed as she followed me into the kitchen.

I pulled open the fridge and took out the cake. It was marble cake with chocolate frosting. I cut two slices and put them on plates. Then, I put one in front of Lilly.

"Bon appetit." I said in a bad French accent which made her laugh again.

We ate in silence for a few moments. I wondered again if I should tell Lilly about Derek. Again, I stuck with no.

"Do you think I'm pretty?" Lilly suddenly said.

The question caught me by surprise. Did she really mean looks or was this some kind of secret girl code for "Do you like me"? Oh god, I really do like Lilly.
