a/n: Here is chapter two of Listen to the Music oh and I realized that I don't do the disclaimer. I don't get it, but here it is:
Disclaimer: I don't own Hannah Montana or Edgar Allen Poe's stories or poems.
When she walked passed Miley she couldn't help but keep looking. Sure she was straight, but there was something about Miley that just caught Katie's attention. She took her eyes off Miley for a second and looked over at Adam. Once again there was something that caught her attention. But what was it?
Back in her hometown Katie was known to over think things, but sometimes that came in handy. She never did something without planning things out first and everything she did was always neat. She also had a tendency to rewrite her notes if they got sloppy. During her study period all of her friends would watch in amazement, as she would write and rewrite her study notes over and over again. They couldn't understand why she did it, her handwriting was one of the best out of the whole grade and yet one little mistake and she would write them over again. Her friends learned to ignore it and two weeks before she moved most of them had picked up her habit. But one good thing came out of it, rewriting the notes was a great help when it came time for tests. Katie had straight A's ever since the beginning of junior high.
Katie took her seat and not a minute later the bell rang. All the kids piled out of the room. Katie walked out of the room and stopped outside the doorway. She looked down at her schedule a little unsure of where to go. "Hey Katie, you look like you need some help," Miley said when she got out of the classroom.
"Yeah, I guess I do, thank you so much Miley," Katie said.
"Its no problem. Here let me see your schedule." Katie handed Miley the piece of paper. "Well it looks like you're in all of my classes." Miley turned around and started walking. Katie caught up and soon the girls were at their next destination; English class. "Ok, just to give you a heads up, this is one of the most boring classes. Even more now that we have to study Edgar Allen Poe, we have been reading some of his short stories and poems for weeks now."
"Oh ok that sounds like fun," Katie said trying her hardest to keep a straight face.
"You've got to be kidding me." Katie burst out laughing
"You seriously thought I was serious." Miley glared at her shook her head and walked into the classroom. Katie followed behind. Miley sat down in her seat while Katie walked up to the teacher. The only seat that was available was right next to the cutest guy in the ninth grade.
"Hey my name is Ryan. Are you new here?" Ryan asked. Ryan is a tanned dirty blonde haired guy. He usually wears khaki shorts and a polo shirt or sometimes blue jeans with a polo shirt. Either way he's always in a polo shirt. His eyes are a hazel color and when he smiles dimples form on his cheeks. Not to mention he is pretty buff for a fifteen year old.
"Yeah, just moved here from Pennsylvania," Katie said. Ryan smiled at her and she bit down on her lip.
"That's cool. So what's your name?"
"Mr. Mainstay, how many times do I have to tell you? No talking. Miss Matson since it is your first day here I'll let you both off with a warning," the teacher, Mrs. Cranes, said.
"Katie," she whispered when Mrs. Cranes turned around to write notes down on the board. She took out her notebook and started to write down the things that were on the board. Man, Miley was right this class is boring. Katie thought. Katie just finished copying down the notes when Mrs. Cranes was introducing the next activity that they would be doing. "Ok class I want you to take out your Poe packets and pick a group of four…" Katie raised her hand. "Yes Miss Matson."
"Um…yeah can I have a packet since I'm new here and all," she said.
"Here," the teacher held out the packet and Katie got out of her seat to get it. "As I was saying, you are going to read The Tell-Tale Heart. So go ahead and pick your partners. Katie looked over at Miley and mouthed the word "group?" Miley nodded her head and pointed at Adam. Now all Katie needed to do was find someone else. Katie walked over to Miley and Adam.
"Do you guys have room for one more?" Ryan asked smiling at Katie.
"Um yeah. Here pull up a seat." Miley said. She was going to have to talk with Katie after class.
"I'll start," Katie said, "True! -Nervous-very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses-not destroyed- not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute…" Miley took her eyes off her packet and looked up to see Ryan practically staring at Katie while she read. He looked over at Miley and instantly turn red at the sight of him being caught staring. Oh yeah she definitely going to have to talk with her. "I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye forever." Katie said finishing off the second paragraph. They spent the rest of class finishing The Tell-Tale Heart.
The bell rang and everyone gathered their stuff and made their way out of the classroom. Miley was standing outside the doorway waiting for Katie to come out so she could show her to their next class. She looked inside just as Ryan was handing Katie a note. He said some sort of good-bye and walked towards the door with her following. As soon as Katie walked out of the door the girls were off to their next class, which happened to be Math.
"So how many classes do we have with Ryan?" Katie casually asked.
"Why do you like him?" Miley taunted. Katie gave her a look. Miley just let out a laugh and answered. "The only class we don't have with him is Math, which is right now and we're going to be late if we don't hurry up. The girls quickly made their way to the math room and got in just as the late bell rung. The teacher gave them a look and Miley pointed to Katie. He nodded his head and pointed to an empty seat. They sat down and after what seemed like hours of note taking the bell finally rung again.
Soon it was time for lunch. Miley stopped at her locker and it just so happens that Katie's was just a few down from hers. They put their books, grabbed their lunches and Miley showed Katie the way to the lunchroom. Miley maneuvered her way to her usual table where Oliver, Lilly and Adam were already seated. Miley sat down next to Adam and Katie appeared at the table. "Hey Miley do you mind if I sit here with you?" she asked.
"No, I don't mind." Katie took a seat next to Lilly. "Guys this is Katie, you should know her from homeroom."
"Hey Katie what's up?" Lilly said "I'm Lilly." Lilly turned to look at Oliver who, along with Adam, was staring at Katie just like in homeroom. Lilly shook her head, looked over at Miley who just gave a little nod of her head. She held up three fingers and started to count down. When they got to one both Adam and Oliver got a slap on the back of their heads.
"Hey, what was that for?" Oliver said.
"Can you guys stop staring for like a minute and introduce yourselves?" Miley said.
"Yeah," Lilly agreed.
"Fine, I'm Oliver."
"And I'm Adam."
A few minutes passed and the guys had actually stopped staring at Katie and started to eat their lunches. "Hey is this seat taken?" everyone looked up to find the one the only…Ryan Mainstay standing at their table. Miley leaned across the table and whispered to Katie, "looks like your boyfriend is here."
"Oh shut up," she replied.
Miley leaned back into her seat and looked up at Ryan. "No go ahead." Ryan sat down next to Miley and started eating his food.
Everyone except Miley and Katie were staring at Ryan. He looked up and noticed this. "Why is everyone staring at me?"
Miley let out a small laugh. "Um well your popular and your sitting at the 'loser' table," Miley said putting quotation marks around the word loser.
"Hey can't a guy sit at a new table for once?" he said defensively.
Miley leaned over and whispered "or you just want to sit with Katie," into his ear. Ryan looked down at his food
"What's with all the whispering?" Lilly said.
"Oh nothing, it's just that Ryan here just wants to sit with Katie," Miley said with a smile on her face.
Katie hadn't been paying attention; she was to caught up in her thoughts. There is definitely something familiar about Miley. What is it? Think. She looks so familiar, but where have I seen her before. I mean sure I haven't seen her exactly, but those eyes and that face. It's the same thing for Adam too; they both look so, so…familiar. Oh. My. Gosh. Katie thought. "I got it," she yelled. No one else but the people at the table heard her. Everyone was already staring at her, but now after her little outburst, they were all staring at her with confused looks on their faces. "What are y'all staring at?"
"Nothing, or the fact that you just randomly yell out 'I got it'," Lilly said.
"Right." Katie started to blush a little bit.
"Oh and because it seems that Ryan here wanted to sit with you," Miley added.
"Really?" Katie asked looking over at Ryan. He nodded his head.
"I also came over here to ask you a question. Do you think you would like to go out with me sometime?" he asked shyly.
"Aww," Lilly and Miley both said.
"Yes, I would love to go out with you," she replied before giving Miley and Lilly a death stare.
"Man I wish Jake was still here. I don't think we should've ever broken up," Miley said. Adam started coughing and he couldn't stop. Everyone looked at him weird. He pointed to his water.
"Yeah, but Miles, he was a jerk. He stole water from a little girl."
"I know, I know but he could be so sweet at times and I don't think I've ever stopped loving him." This time Adam spit out all of the water that was in his mouth and it got all over Oliver.
"What was that for, Man?" he said.
"Sorry dude," Adam said.
The bell rang and everyone got up from the table and threw away the rest of their lunches. Miley and Katie got their books and met up with Lilly and Ryan just outside their history class.
a/n: What is going on with Adam? What did Katie get? Should Miley still miss Jake? Review and tell me what you think is going on.
