AN: Your getting another update from me....wow :)...Well, I felt bad for neglecting this story and frankly I kinda forgot about it until nicolasdes told me I should work on I did and now I have an idea on where I'm going with this story, ..So this story is dedicated to Marissa (drummer8907) for being the first reviewer, my Loliver buddy and the first one to say I shoudl continue it. Anyway, here you go all you amazing reviewers who said I should continue :D

We're at lunch. Everyone stares. We're used to it now.

She leans her head on my shoulder and sighs, "Do you ever think it will ever go back to normal?" I hear a slight crack in her voice at the word normal.

Normal was having friends, normal was when teachers gave us their respect. Normal was…not how it was now!

I smile as her head rests upon my shoulder. The circumstances were terrible, but having her with me almost made everything disappear.

"Ollie, what exactly did we do?" she asks.

"Nothing, baby." I soothe and run my fingers through her hair.

"It sure feels like we did something!" she said glancing behind us, where eyes

were doing the whole 'if looks could kill' thing.

"We did nothing. It's all rumors, Lilly." I remind her.

I can tell she's replaying everything in her mind looking for hidden clues…I know because I'm doing the same thing.

WHAT THEY ARE THINKING:

We were out getting pizza together at a booth. Lilly and I were sitting together and Miley was on the other side.

"

So, what's up?" Miley asked quietly after the waiter took our order.

"Not much. You?" Lilly answered looking around nervously.

"Lilly, I'm gonna go get all of us drinks." I said trying to get away from the awkward convo. It usually wasn't like this when all of us were together, we could talk about anything. It would just flow out…not today I guessed.

I got our drinks and carried them to the table and handed Miley her coke, Lilly her sprite and I sipped on some of Lilly's Sprite. So what? I like spending money on other things.

"Oliver, what a cheapskate." Miley laughed lightening the mood.

As I sat next to Lilly I either had my arm around her, she was leaning on me, we were looking at each other or all of the above. Miley seemed a little taken aback every time we switched positions.

"Guys, seriously; are ya'll just gonna act all couply with each other while I'm here?" she asked.

"We are a couple." I told her.

"Yeah, but I thought we talked about not letting our 'significant others' get in the way of our friendship?" Miley asked slightly mad.

"We aren't getting in the way of our friendship. We are still your friends." Lilly said.

"You guys don't get it! I want friends that will hang out at my house with me all the time. I want friends who keep my secrets. I want friends who are equally friendly with each other." she ranted, "In other words IM TIRED OF BEING THE THRID WHEEL!"

"Sorry, Miley, but if you don't approve of us dating, then maybe we shouldn't be friends anymore." Lilly said. I looked at Lilly like she had lost her mind. We'd all been friends since 6th grade, inseparable.

"That's fine with me. Nice knowing ya'll." she told us. She grabbed her purse and left way before the meal was even out.

Lilly looked up at me with sad eyes and began to cry into my chest. She was doing the crying for the both of us, I felt like I'd been stabbed not behind my back but straight into the heart. I had lost my best friend.

We went to school the first day and we lost Todd and Sarah in one fail swoop. I won't go into details, it hurts too much. Pretty much, Miley got to them and told them 'what we did'. We did nothing.

And day by day our friends would slip away by the end of the week it was just us two. Soon enough the rumors got around to everyone…our parents, our teachers, the mail-man. I don't know how it got all throughout Malibu, but I have a feeling it was Miley's doing. No, I'm positive it was Miley's doing.

END OF WHAT THEY ARE THINKING

"Oliver, I miss them." she tells me and I can hear the sadness in her voice.

"I know, Lils. I do too." I reply trying to hide the misery in my voice.

"So you guys…did you two really do all those awful things?" a nerdy looking guy at our table says. This is the first time I've heard him speak since we began to sit at the 'Awkward table.'

"We didn't. I swear." Lilly and I sigh in unison.

"Well, if you didn't then what did you do?" he asked us and the other nerds began to ask us too.

"We acted like we were a couple, and maybe spent too much time together…I thought it was reasonable. We made time for our friends, we made time with each other and we made time for our friends and us to hang out, together." I told him.

"You too, are attached at the hip aren't you?" asked a goth girl a couple seats down.

We smiled at each other, and she turned away, "I guess that answers my question." she said and grimaced.

I smiled down at Lilly and she reached up placed a small kiss on my lips.

The sensation she sent through me, was always the same…sparks, unimaginably strong waves of sparks.

"Do you guys believe that we did any of those things?" Lilly asked.

Everyone at our table shook their heads 'no'. Lilly and I smiled widely.

"Ya see Lils. We still have some friends." I smiled at the people at our table and held her close to me.

She looked behind her and I watched her eyes trail over to the spot where Miley, Sarah, Joannie, Matt and all of our ex-friends were.

"Babe, I miss them too, but I have you." I told her and kissed her cheek lightly.

"Ollie, I love you." she began, "but can we at least try to get them back?"

"How?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure, but I have an idea that could work." she said as the wheels in her head began to turn.

"You and your schemes." I chuckled lightly. She grinned up at me.

The school bell then rang and everyone started to stand up to go to their next block. I hugged Lil and didn't want to let go, but we pulled away anyway. I gave her a quick kiss and told her I'd meet her where I always do. She smiled at me as she always does and then we go off on our long walk to our next classes without one another and take on the woes of high school.

AN: So? REVIEW!!!!

GOD BLESS
