"I can't believe that prom is in a week, and we still don't know who our dates are going to be." Miley complained to her best friend, Lilly.
"I'm okay, just as long as Oliver isn't my date." Lilly said, looking at Oliver Oken as her stuffed the last three inches of a peanut butter sandwich into his already fill mouth, giving him the appearance of a chipmunk.
Oliver swallowed and tried to look offended. "Thanks, Lilly."
"Well, I don't. You can't blame me either, after what happened last time we went to a dance together."
Lilly remembered when she tried going out with Oliver. They went to homecoming, and Oliver was so nervous about being with a girl, that he drank almost a gallon of punch. Unfortunately, some skater punk had spiked the punch, and Oliver was a babbling drunk for the rest of the night. On the car ride home, he puked on Lilly's borrowed Hannah dress. Ever since then, Miley had been hesitant to let Lilly borrow Hannah things.
Lilly was pulled back into the real world by some piercing feedback from an old school microphone.
"Hello, students. This is Amber, your junior class president. I am here to announce that the couples are now posted on the school's website."
Frantically, the students either rushed to the computer lab or the library, but Miley just whipped out her cell phone and checked the website on the Internet.

Oliver Oken and Amber Addison

Miley Stewart and Jackson Stewart
"What??" Miley groaned. "I know that Jackson was telling people at school that we're not related, but I always thought he was such a horrible liar."
Her friends met Miley with silence.
"Um, hello? Some sympathy?" Miley prompted.
"I'm sorry, Miley. But, look, I'M GOING TO PROM WITH JAKE RYAN!!" Lilly squealed. "Oh, wait. I'm sorry, is this going to be weird for you? I mean, he is your ex-boyfriend."
"No, no. I'm very happy for you." Miley said, obviously lying.
"Yay! Jake and I are going to have so much fun!" Lilly said, delight dripping from her words like honey.
"Just not too much fun." Oliver reminded.
"Oliver, you are so gross!" Lilly reprimanded. "Besides, Jake's not like that. He'll think that it's enough just to sit and talk with me." Lilly heaved a dreamy sigh. "Prom will be so magical."
"Speak for yourself." Miley groaned, rolling her eyes.
