a/n: YAY for foggy day delays. xD For some reason, I don't like this part. I wrote it while watching Spongebob and he really isn't good inspiration but I wrote out the third part and it's pretty decent better than this one ;D REVIEW!
Disclaimer: I don't own the characters. Just the Plot.
Shy; Part Two.
"So…" Jenn said, noticing my glance down to my shoes. "What do you think of the school so far?" She asked.
"It's cool, I guess." I said quietly and the bell rang.
"Seen any cute boys yet?" She asked, smiling.
"Uhm, no.." I replied blushing then looked up. "Where are we going?" I asked.
"Its break time, we get ten minutes to ourselves before heading to class." She told me.
"Oh." I replied, looking around. I found the cafeteria. A couple seconds later Joe walked up beside Jenn.
"Hey squirt." Joe said, ruffling Jenn's hair in the process.
"Joe!" Jenn said annoyed and started fixing her hair again.
"Hey new kid." He said to me.
"She has a name you know." Jenn said, still mad at Joe for messing up her hair.
"I know. Milly right?" He asked. I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
"Miley." I said.
"I knew that." He replied, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. He really didn't know my name.
"Right…" Jenn said as we continued walking to wherever we were going.
"What do you guys do at break?" I asked, curious.
"Eat." Joe said simply.
Jenn rolled her eyes, "He eats, everyone else just talks and hang out. Which means I'll be introducing you to everyone." She told me, looking away from my reaction.
"What?" I asked, my heart racing.
"See, first day isn't so bad. You're going to make like fifty new friends." Joe said.
I gulped. "If you say so." I said.
"Okay…" Jenn said as we approached a mass of people. I should've figured they were in the 'popular' crowd. Not the whole jocks and cheerleaders popular but the group of people that were known by everyone in the school. I was now more nervous than I had been the whole day.
"Hey everyone!" Jenn yelled, everyone turned to see who was calling them. All eyes were on me, a familiar pair of eyes looked at Jenn confusingly to see what she was going to say next. I looked down flustered, I hated being the center of attention.
"This is Miley." She told everyone. There were a couple nods and hellos from the crowd. Most had turned back around to their conversations, not caring about meeting me.
"Who does your sister think she is?" I heard someone mumble to the guy that I had bumped into. He was dressed in a graphic T and wearing dark jeans with Nikes. This group knew what was in and what was out. I looked down at my outfit. I'm guessing I'm out.
Nick shrugged and turned back around.
"Forget them" Jenn said and turned to a group of girls that had crowded around me.
"Uhm, hi." I mumbled and played with my fingers as they eyed me. Joe had walked off to the crowd of the boys when Jenn started to introduce the girls.
"This is Meg, Angie, Melissa and—hey where's Yanny?" She asked the girls.
"Uhm, I think she went over there." Angie, said pointing to the left.
"No, she went that way." Meg pointed to the right.
"How do you know? You never pay attention." Angie retorted.
"I do so pay attention. You're just all googly-eyed at your crush." Meg replied.
"That was supposed to stay between us!" Angie exclaimed.
Jenn laughed nervously. "Yeah… they do that on a daily basis. Let's go introduce you to the guys." Jenn said, pulling me away from the bickering girls.
"Jenn, don't leave me with them." Melissa whined but Jenn just waved and we made our way to the group of boys. There were all in a circle surrounding the kid that had mumbled the question earlier. People threw in words in hopes of adding to the rap that they were making.
"Ahem." Jenn said, clearing her throat, causing all the boys to stop what they were doing and turn to her.
"We were kind of in the middle of something." One of the guys told her, irritated that she had interrupted their break again.
"You guys always do that. Take a break and say hi to Miley."
"Hey." They all mumbled except for three boys.
"Hi." I said back shyly.
Noticing Nick's glance at Miley, "Why don't you say hi instead of staring Nick." Jenn said.
I looked at him and saw him eyeing what I was wearing, feeling more nervous I looked down not looking at Jenn or Nick.
The first bell rang and I heard Jenn mutter a finally as Nick walked away, not saying a word to me. Everyone shuffled into class. Jenn took a seat in the back next to Meg and they started their own little conversation as I walked up to the teacher's desk. He was writing on the white board. Holocaust. My favorite subject. I thought sarcastically to myself.
"Uhmm…" I said, making him turn around.
"Can I help you?" He asked, pushing his glasses up.
"I'm a new student." I said, handing him my schedule.
Mr. Arnold." He said. "Nice to meet you. You can take a seat next to Mr. Gray." He told me and turned around and continued writing down notes on the board.
Joe's in Sophomore history? I thought and turned around. The only empty seat in the class was next to Nick. My mouth dried up as I walked towards my seat and sat down. Jenn didn't tell me they were related.
"Great." I heard him mumble quietly. Did I do something?
"Okay class, I want to introduce you guys to the new student." Mr. Arnold said and I got more nervous. Please don't make me talk in front of the class.
"Why don't you introduce yourself to the class." He said, sitting down at his desk now. I sat there as everyone turned to look at me. I got up slowly, my chair bumping into the desk behind me.
"Not a word." The teacher told the student behind me then nodding for me to start.
"I'm.. M.. Miley." I stuttered.
"Hurry up." The kid behind me said, causing the teacher to give him a look and he got quiet.
"Is there anything else you want to share?" Mr. Arnold asked me. I shook my head and sat down quickly. My heart was still racing like I had just ran a marathon.
"Well then." Mr. Arnold said, standing up. "Let's get all of you guys started on the lesson."

I kept my attention down on my paper, writing vigorously. I knew all of this stuff. I didn't dare to look up from my paper, afraid that someone would be staring at me. My left hand was on my thigh as I continued writing. He shifted in his seat, his knee bumping into mine causing a tingle to run through my leg. He didn't move his knee away from mine. I shifted in my seat uncomfortably, moving my knee away. He looked at me, probably wondering why I was moving so much.
"I know we just finished a project, but we're about to start a new one." Mr. Arnold said, passing out the rubric. "You'll need to get into teams of 2 or 3. The project will require your group to prepare a skit and perform it to class." He said and I slumped down into my seat. I hate presentations.
"It will need to be a minimum of 5 minutes. Each person has to say at least 4 lines…" He said, continuing reading the instructions to everyone. "As an added challenge, the team with the best skit will earn 25 extra credit points." This caused the whole class to start talking.
I looked back at Jenn to see her whispering to Meg. I sighed. "Will we get to choose our partners?" Nick asked. This was the first time I had him talk.
Mr. Arnold pondered the question for a bit before answering. "No." He said and the class groaned. "I think it'll be a great idea for me to choose your partners." He said, looking at his role sheet now. Please pair me up with Meg and Jenn.
He looked at me and then around the class. "Hmm, Miley Stewart, Jenn Gray, and Meg Lovato.
I looked up at the teacher and he smiled at me reassuringly, continuing reading off the groups. I turned around and saw Jenn giving me two thumbs up while Meg laughed at Jenn. The bell rang and I stuffed everything into my backpack. Two classes down, four more to go.
"I can't wait until we start the project." Jenn said to me, excitedly.
"I hate presentations." I said.
"What? Why? I love them!" She said.
"You like talking in front of the class, while everyone's undivided attention's on you?" I asked her.
"Yes, I love talking." She told and we walked into the math class.
"Do we have assigned seats in here?" I asked, changing the subject.
"No, Miss Lopez is laid back. She doesn't care where you sit." Jenn said.
"Cool." I said and walked up to the teacher's desk.
"Hey sweetheart." Miss Lopez said and I smiled a little.
"I'm new." I said and she looked at my schedule.
"Take a seat anywhere you want, I'm Miss Lopez." She told me.
I nodded and walked back over to Jenn, taking a seat next to her.
"Okay, let's start the lesson--" Miss Lopez started before she got cut off.
"Wow, your hair looks amazing." Angie said.
"Why, thank you. I just got a hair cut." Miss Lopez told Angie smiling.
"You did? Well it looks really nice." Angie said, trying to get Miss Lopez distracted from the lesson.
"Remind me to thank Angie later." Jenn whispered to me and I nodded.
"So uhm.. Nick's your bother too?" I asked.
"Half brother. We have the same dad but different moms." She told me.
"Oh." I said.
"Don't take his silence and constant mutterings as a bad thing. He does that to all the new people he judges." Jenn said, writing in her notebook.
"Do you have any other siblings?" I asked.
"Yeah, Yanny. I jut don't know where she went…" She said, laughing a little.
"Can't wait to meet her." I said.
--
My stomach growled and Jenn looked at me weird. "Is it lunch time yet?" I asked, trying to stop my stomach from growling. It was extremely quiet in English and everyone had turned around at us to see what the noise was.
The bell rang, answering my question. "Yeah, now." She said and we walked out and I bumped into someone again, this time dropping all of my things onto the floor.
"Dude, she must like you. That's her third time today." The kid in the graphic T said laughing. Nick shook his head and continued walking down the hall, getting glances from many girls. He stopped and gave a couple of them hugs.
I stared at him while I kneeled down and picked up my belongings from the floor before standing up again.
"What are you doing?" Jenn asked, seeing me stare at Nick.
"Nothing." I said quickly. She arched her eyebrows suspiciously ready to say something when Joe came up behind her, poking her on her sides causing her to scream. Thank you Joe.
a/n: There's part two ;D What do you guys think of the story so far? Yes, Nick seems jerkish and quiet.. he sounds like Edward at the beginning of Twilight but no he isn't a vampire… or is he? I don't know I haven't written that far xD REVIEW! (:
