"Ughhhhh" Miley groaned as she woke up with sunlight shining happily in her eyes. Happy was the last thing she was feeling right now. Miley was still not used to getting up early in the morning. Ever since school started she's been having trouble waking up. She flung her arm up to shield her eyes, and it was then she realized that she wasn't alone…
"What are you doing here?" Miley asked tiredly.
"Did you forget?"
"Forget what?"
"It's Monday. The weekend is over" Elena replied with a smile.
Ever since they become friends, Elena used to be the one who woke Miley up every morning. This has been going on for years, and now it's kind of a routine for Elena.
Miley started to rub her eyes as she slipped off the bed. She was wearing a silky white gown with colorful flower patterns on it. Miley looked over at her friend as she groaned once more, "You don't need to wake me up anymore, you know? I'm 16 for god sake!"
Miley was always grumpy after waking up.
"Oh really?" Elena raised one of her eyebrows at her.
"Really"
Elena looked up and down at the girl standing in front of her, Miley was a mess, "Well my sources tell me otherwise" she laughed. She gave Elena the 'evil eye' as she continued to walk towards the bathroom.
Miley locked the door behind her as she pressed her back against the door. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was suppose to do something important today, but what was it? She turned on the shower as she waited for hot water. Miley stripped herself naked and entered the shower. She squeezed a drop of coconut shampoo into her hand and started to rub the soap into her hair. Miley loved the smell of coconut.
After her shower she dried herself off and pulled the towel around her body to cover up the private parts. Miley walked back into her bedroom to find some clothes to wear. She pulled out a pair of dark jeans and a white shirt with a silver bow. The bow was made out of silk and was placed right above the chest. She slipped in a pair of silver heels to match the outfit.
"Are you done now? We're going to be late if we don't leave soon!" Elena asked annoyed.
"Yeah, Yeah" she waved her hand lazily in front of Elena as she looked for a pair of earrings.
After 10 minutes they left the house and headed towards the school. Miley still couldn't shake the feeling for her missing out on something important. She groaned at herself as she tried to remember. Elena looked worried at Miley.
"You OK?" she asked curious.
"Yeah I'm fine. It's nothing" Miley replied with a sudden smile.
Elena could tell there was something bothering Miley, but she knew that if it were something serious, she'd tell her. That's why Elena didn't ask more questions, at least for now…
They continued walking without saying anything to each other. And before they knew it, they reached the schoolyard. Miley & Elena still had some time left before class started, so they decided to sit down by the tree. The sun was shining, the sky was cloud-free and the birds were singing. It was just like a perfect sunny day. Miley carefully sat down on the grass while leaning her back against the big tree. Elena opened her purse, searching for something.
"What are you looking for?" Miley asked curious.
Elena pulled out her wallet, "Just money. I thought I'd buy some juice, want some?"
"Sure!"
"Okay, I'll be right back"
Elena quickly disappeared towards the store that was located right beside the schoolyard. Miley groaned in boredom as she sat there looking up at the blue sky above her. She closed her eyes as she listened to the birds sing, "this is nice," she thought to herself. You know that feeling when you're so relaxed and nothing else matters? That's what Miley was feeling. But all of the sudden, the sunlight was blocked by a person standing in front of her. And the peaceful moment was over.
"Move, will ya?" she ordered angrily.
The person in front of her chuckled and sat down beside her. Miley slowly opened her eyes and looked over at the person beside her. To her surprise, it was Nick. That's when Miley realized what she was supposed to remember today!
FLASHBACK
"I take this game seriously Damon, I'm not in it for the hook ups" Nick replied seriously.
The guy now known as 'Damon' smirked at Nick. "Yeah, whatever. I'm just excited to see who your next girl friend is going to be like"
"I guess we'll find out on Monday" Nick replied charmingly.
Miley stopped follow them, she slowly turned directions and headed home. She couldn't believe that Nick was the one who was playing the 'game'. "And here I was, thinking that he was a nice guy. What a waste!" She thought to herself angry. She cursed herself for thinking he was attractive. Miley really hated guys who played around with girls. She knew that they would never stop either… Unless…
Miley stopped walking; she tiled her head to the side in a thinking position. "…Unless I can beat him at his own game" a smirk developed on her face. She started to walk again, as she continued to smirk. "Watch out Nick, I'm going to be the girl who asks you out on Monday"
FLASHBACK OVER
Miley looked at Nick with a blank expression on her face. He chucked again, "Are you all right?" he asked. Miley shut her eyes for a second and then smiled, "Yes! I'm great". Nick smiled back at her as he leaned his back against the tree and looked up at the sky. His brown eyes were shining like glitter against the sunlight hitting them. Miley continued to stare at him as she bit her bottom lip softly, "What if someone already asked him?" He turned his head towards her as their eyes met. She froze for a second before looking away with a slight blush. "What are you doing Miley? Pull yourself together god damn it!" she thought annoyed. He smiled charmingly at her as he continued to look up at the blue sky.
"Soo… has anyone asked you out yet?" she asked nervously.
"Huh?... Oh I'm guessing you heard about the game, eh?" he asked with a sudden wink.
Miley nodded.
"Nah not yet. I'm still waiting"
"….."
'STILL WAITING?' ugh he's so full of himself! – Miley thought. She took a deep breath as she turned herself towards Nick. He had a blank look on his face as he watched Miley's sudden movement. She slowly tugged on her bow with her fingertips as she nervously looked up at him.
"What about… me, would you like to go out with me?" Miley asked.
Nick was shocked by her question, but quickly tried to hide it with a smirk.
XOXOX
Elena tilted her head to the side in thinking 'position', as she tried to decide on which juice to buy. She didn't know whenever to buy apple, orange, grape or pineapple juice. She groaned frustratingly. All of the sudden she heard a chuckle behind her. She quickly turned around to see a handsome guy standing behind her.
"What are you looking at?" she asked annoyed.
"You" he chuckled again.
She rolled her eyes as she turned back to focus on which juice to buy. 'Apple, orange, grape or pineapple juice….' She mumbled. Elena felt a sudden hand brush against her shoulder as she looked over at the same person standing beside her.
"What now?" she asked even more annoyed.
"Nothing" he replied with a cheesy smile.
Elena groaned. He looked over her shoulder to find her carrying the juice bottles in her hand. He smiled once more.
"I'd go with the orange juice"
"Why?" she asked curiously with a confused expression.
"Because they've got the best orange juice here" he replied.
Elena picked up two bottles of orange juice and smiled to herself, 'I'll get the orange juice then.'
She turned towards the handsome boy beside her, as he looked down at the two bottles she picked out.
"Two, eh? A boyfriend maybe?" he asked curious with a smirk.
"Maybe" she replied as she walked pass him.
He chuckled once more as he turned around to look at her as she made her way towards the cashier. "I'm Damon btw!" he yelled after her. "Like I care…" she mumbled and waved lazily at him. He smiled at her and walked out of the store.
Damon spotted Nick sitting alone under the tree as he waved at him. He walked over and sat down beside him. Nick had his eyes closed, back against the tree and sunlight shining on his beautiful face. It was really un-normal to see Nick sitting alone.
"Hey lonely boy" Damon teased.
Nick groaned as he heard Damon's voice, "Hey yourself".
"Why are you sitting alone?"
"I'm alone?" Nick looked around as he saw no one sitting beside him, except Damon, "I wasn't alone 1 minute ago" he replied.
"Oh so you've already found yourself a girlfriend, eh?"
"Yeah, I guess so" Nick replied carelessly.
"Why so disappointed?" Damon asked confused.
He had never seen Nick looking so disappointed in his life. He was always so happy whenever he had a new girlfriend, even if it was just for a week. What was so different about this girl?
"I'm not disappointed. It's just that…" Nick paused, "It's just that this girl is different. I can't explain it but…" Nick didn't know what to tell Damon. No matter how many times he tried to repeat it in his head, he could never get the words out. Damon smirked hopelessly at Nick as he gazed up at the sky, "Well let's hope you found the right girl this time".
XOXOX
It was already lunch break, and everyone was sitting in the cafeteria eating sandwiches. Miley and Elena sat down at a table in the back row. The cafeteria was packed with students. There was one table where the cheerleaders sat, one table with the sport jocks, one table with musicians and so on. Since Miley & Elena hadn't joined any club activities yet they didn't know where to sit.
"I feel like an outsider," Elena groaned as she started to chew on her sandwich.
"That's because we are outsiders…"
"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CONFIRM IT!"
Miley smiled hopelessly at Elena as she patted her back, "Don't be like that. We'll join a club soon and get lots of friends".
Elena nodded in agreement as she continued to chew.
After eating their sandwiches they decided to head back to class. Miley was suddenly stopped by someone grabbing her hand and pulling her backwards. She widened her eyes in surprise as she was forced to turn around. She saw Nick standing behind her, smiling charmingly as always. She blushed, but tried to hide it.
"Oh Uhm. Hey Nick, you surprised me"
"Sorry about that. I saw you and I just kind of did it without thinking" he laughed.
"Ahh, that's alright." she giggled.
She found herself disgusting, as she had to put on this 'innocent' act. Her plan was to beat him at his own game after all; she had to make him fall for her, but how? Miley tried to think of a great idea as she was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts.
"Want to do something after school today?" he asked with a smile.
"Sure"
"Great, It's a date then" he winked.
Elena hadn't even noticed that Miley was gone as she continued her way towards the classroom. As she continued to talk but got no response she turned around to find no one beside her. "Eh, she turned directions without telling me?" she thought to herself annoyed. To be honest, Elena wasn't surprised. Miley was like a 5 year old girl who followed everything that sparkled with lots of colors. Whenever they went out shopping she'd always end up looking for Miley at the strangest places. 'If I didn't know any better, I'd say her head was filled with rainbows and unicorns' Elena giggled as she sat down beside her desk.
"Sorry," Miley said as she came towards Elena.
"Where were you?" Elena asked curious.
"Oh I just bumped into someone, nothing to worry about" Miley giggled innocently.
Elena lifted her eyebrow in suspicion, "She's been acting weird ever since this morning" she thought to herself.
Miley picked up her textbooks as the teacher entered the classroom. "Only two more hours left of school," Miley mumbled with excitement she remembered her date with Nick. They had agreed on going to a café not too far from Miley's house. She knew which café it was, which only made her more excited. It was the most popular café in town, but it was so expensive and that's why Miley never went there, but since he's paying – why not?
XOXOXOX
Those two hours felt like the longest hours in world history. But now they were finally over and Miley was standing outside the school building waiting for Nick. She leaned her back against the brick wall as she gazed up at the sky. Miley heard footsteps coming closer towards her as she turned her head to the side.
"Did you wait long?" Nick asked.
"Just a little bit. Not too long"
"Okay that's good" he smiled.
She giggled.
They started walking towards the café, which felt like the longest walk ever. Nick looked over at Miley and could tell she was feeling a bit nervous; he slowly patted her back and smiled at her. She nervously smiled back as they continued walking. "Pull yourself together!" Miley yelled at herself (only in her mind of course. Or else she'd look like a psycho).
When they finally reached the café they sat down under a shining red umbrella. The café was covered in the colors black and red. The furniture was made out of dark wood and silky red pillows. Miley looked around in amazement.
"I'm guessing this is your first time here?" Nick asked.
"Yeah. This is an expensive café. Only snobby rich people come here often" Miley replied.
Before Nick could respond, the lady was there to take their order.
"Hey Nick, great to see you back so soon" the lady in red smiled.
Miley gaped nervously at the woman's words, 'so soon? Does he come here often?' She mumbled to herself. 'That means…. I called him a snobby rich jerk…' she groaned. 'I'm such an idiot'. Miley was quickly snapped out of her thoughts as the lady asked what she would like to drink. Miley looked over the menu as she pointed at the cheapest coffee they had. "Very well then. I'll be back with both of your coffee's soon!" The lady smiled charmingly at them as she made her way towards the kitchen.
Miley looked over at the girl sitting across the table, in a leather seat. She was clearly looking at Nick. Now that you mention it, everyone in the café was looking at him. Miley felt uncomfortable having people staring at them. Was it because she was ugly, and he wasn't? or? She looked over at Nick who had his eyes focused on her. She blushed. Out of nowhere his phone started to ring but continued to look at her.
"Uhm… Are you going to take that?" she asked.
Nick looked down at the phone display as he put it back in his pocket, "Nope".
"Why?"
"Because it's a number that is no longer in my address book"
"So you don't pick up calls from others that isn't in your address book?"
"Correct" he smirked.
"But what if it's something important?" Miley asked worriedly.
"Nah, It's probably some of my ex girlfriends"
"Ex girlfriends?"
"Yeah. After dating a person for a week I delete their number"
"Isn't that kind of harsh?"
"I don't know. You tell me" he smirked again.
The waiter interrupted their intense conversation. She sat down the two cups of coffee as she smiled at them, "Hope you enjoy!". Miley smiled back as they both mumbled thanks you to her. The red haired lady walked away as Miley watched her disappear. They both sat there, drinking their coffee in silence.
The sun was already setting and the sky was getting darker by the minute. Nick paid for both the coffees as they headed home. Miley tugged on her shoulder as she felt the cold freeze. Nick noticed this and took off his jacket.
"Here, take this" he handed her his grey sports jacket.
"Thanks" she pulled the jacket over her shoulders, as she felt much better.
They continued to walk for a few more minutes until Miley suddenly stopped. "My house isn't far from here, so I'll just head home. Okay?" she smiled. Nick stood there, with a blank expression as he slowly smiled back. "Sure. I'll see you at school". Miley was about to pull off the jacket when he stopped her, "Don't. Just keep it," he added. Miley was surprised by his sudden kindness. He leaned closer to her and placed a small kiss on her cheek.
XOXOXOX
Sorry that this chapter was sort of bad.. haha I was in a rush to finish it and I probably ended up having a lot of spelling mistakes (especially at the end). I hope you thought this chapter was alright. Hopefully next chapter will also have a bit more Damon + Elena & more romance : ) we'll see. Please drop off a comment to let me know what you think, thank you!
