Miley POV

I snapped my head back to the front of the room when the teacher, Ms...Ms... Oh yeah Ms. Ashley, walked into the class room and walked to the front of the room to take roll. As she read the list she glanced up at every student. As she reached Emily's name she looked up at me, with this having been Emily's seat before she looked at me for a second before smiling. "Hi! You must be the 'New Girl' everyone's been talking about since eight this morning! Why don't you come tell us a little about yourself then we'll start lesson?" I smiled standing up. I like her she's nice. I walked to up to the front of the room confidently and smiled."Hey guys! I'm Miley...Which most of you already know," I said waving to my new friends and shooting a glance at Nick who turned bright red. "I'm from Tennessee, grew up a country girl. Uhm... well I guess that's really all I could say without embarassing myself." I said and I heard some people chuckle. I started walking back to my seat when one of the guys raised his hand to catch my attention before talking.

"You're hott! You goin' to the party tonight?" I looked at Emily contemplating and she shot me an approving look and nod before looking back at the guy smiling.

"Wouldn't miss it!" He grinned one of those boyish grins,

"Be my date?" he asked and I shook my head looking at Nick.

"I don't do party dates. Besides I already got my eye on someone, but save me a dance." I stated before coolly sitting in my seat. Ms. Ashley listened to the whole thing chuckling a little when I rejected the guy.

"Okay class, Time to start. Today I'm assigning partner projects," As she said that people started looking around eyeing who they wanted as a partner and I looked back at Nick, throwing him a wink as he lowered his head. "And your job is to observe how they act, their personality, and their likes/dislikes. You have one month to complete the project and this time I will allow you to choose your partners and you may use the rest of class to figure out how you will work on this project. And GO!" She exclaimed and everyone started talking at once.

Most people crowded around mine and Emily's desk choosing their partners. "So, who's turn is it to partner with the dork?" Demi asked. The group got real quiet and several of us turned to look at him, no one speaking up. "I will." I said boldly. "It can't be that bad. Besides you all know each other and probably know who will hook up with who so I'll take him." I volunteered.

Emily smiled. "Showing leadership potential. Good Alpha status Miles!" I grinned and emerged from the group and headed over to Nick, sitting at the desk in front of him. He looked up at me before blushing. "Hey wanna be partners?" I asked as he looked up slowly.

"So you're the one they sent to partner up with me this time?" He asked, spitting the "they" in his sentence . I shook my head.

"I volunteered because I wanted to be partners with you." I said and Nick looked at me suspiciously."You don't have to lie you know. It's okay. The always pick one unlucky person to partner with me." He said almost in a whisper as he folded his arms on the desk.

I stared at him, then reached out and touched his arm making tingles shoot through me. "Nick. I promise I was the one who wanted to partner with you, it's fine. You can trust me." I saw him slightly cringe at the word trust before staring me in the eye

"Prove... it." He stated with newfound confidence and I smirked.

"MS. ASHLEY! I WANT TO BE NICK'S PARTNER!" I yelled over everyone elses noises. I paused hoping, and knowing they all heard me. Soon the class became dead silent and everyone turned to stare at me and Nick. I sat up and smiled and Nick turned bright red looking down.

Ms. Ashley briefly paused then looked at me her smile beaming. "Okay Ms. Stewart Great choice in a partner! I'll be right back class" She said walking out of the room smiling.

I noticed, even after Ms. Ashley had walked out, and I would expect the tension to cool down, everyone was still staring. Soon I even heard a few snickers of people who were already starting to judge me. I opened my mouth to speak but was cut off before anything could come out.

"Enough! I think it's amazing that Miley had the courage to say that out loud." Emily stated walking towards us. "Anyone who can say they're not afraid of a challenge is definitely alpha material, and that," She spat pointing to Nick. "Is totally a challenge." The class laughed and Nick put his head on his desk.

I noticed my hand was still on his arm, so I rubbed it soothingly, trying to send him the message that I'm supporting him. He slowly moved his arms from my reach and looked up at me sending me a shy smile telling me thanks and I nodded as the bell rang indicating class was over.

I was on my way to the cafe as someone approached me. "Hey. You're Selena right?" I asked and she nodded.

"I just wanted to apologize for the way Emily acted earlier," She said "She can be really mean sometimes. I just want you to know that I don't think Nick's really that bad." She said honestly, while I looked at her confused.

"If he's not that bad then why do people pick on him?" I asked, and Selena sighed sadly.

"Nick wasn't always a nerd, but he wasn't one of us. I mean, from time to time he would hang with us but not everyday. When we were about twelve/thirteen Emily used to have a big crush on him and when he rejected her she started looking for ways to bring his social status down. Summer came and went and when school started the next year, Nick had totally changed. He was real quiet and shy, he didn't talk to anyone at all, and he brought his B average in school to an A average. This was perfect for Emily, she told everyone he spent the whole summer doing schoolwork and going to science conventions etc. and everyone started picking on him." I nodded silently, already feeling bad for whatever it was Nick hand endured.

As we entered the cafe. I looked around and saw Emily and everyone at the center table and Nick sitting by himself at another. Emily motioned for me to come sit next to her but I ignored her and grabbed Selena's arm.

"Come on we're going to do something totally different." I said with an excited smile, while Selena looked at me questioningly as we grabbed our food. I walked over to Nick's table and sat down next to him. He looked up from his food glancing from me to Selena and back confused.

"Can we sit with you?" I asked and he scrunched his eyebrows together before nodding slowly. I smiled, "So Selena what are you wearing to the party tonight?" Selena thought for a moment before explaining her outfit to me and I explained mine to her.I looked over at Nick who was sitting quietly and looking at his food. "Nick are you going to the party tonight?" Nick looked at me,

"Only because Joe's making me. He thinks I should be more social." I smiled before biting my bottom lip.

"You don't like parties?" I asked as Nick shook his head.

"I never do anything but stand against the wall and watch.

"Well than," I said with a flirty smile. "I'll hang out with you! Save me a dance?" asked trying to make him more comfortable.

His eyes widened and he continually opened and closed his mouth. "Miley you don't have to be nice to me, no one ever is and I'm fine with that. Besides Emily will probably want you to hang with her tonight." He said and I just rolled my eyes.

"First off," I said. " I want to be nice to you, you intrigue me," I said, and noticed his small blush. "And second of all, I don't belong to Emily, I can hang with whoever I want and if she doesn't like it too bad." I ranted and Nick's eyes widened.

"Great speech Miley. Way to show leadership." I turned to Emily.

"Thanks." I said half-heartedly Emily smirked.

"You just mastered the number one rule. Don't allow anyone to tell you what to do. You are the one who makes decisions. Your definitely amazing. You can totally hang with us whenever you want. You have my permission," she said with a smirk, then walking off.

I watched her walk away and only one thing was on my mind, did I need her Permission? What is she, a queen? And her whole "alpha" thing is way weird.

"You almost ready Miley?" I herd a voice call from my dorms entry way. I turned to see Demi staring at me.

"Yep," I smiled "Just looking for my left shoe," I said pointing to my one foot that held a black high-heal, and the other that was completely bare. Except the French pedicure held on my toes.

"Um," Demi said walking into my room and helping me find my shoe. "Here it is!" She exclaimed from somewhere under my bed.

"Oh thank god," I laughed putting the shoe on.

"You know Miley," Demi said. "You better close the door before your escort gets here, we don't want him to see how dirty this place is," She laughed.

"Escort?" I asked confused.

"Yeah, we always have to have one," She laughed. "C'mon your hanging with us now," She said obviously indicating herself, Emily and that whole crew. "And we cant go anywhere without a guy," She said with what seemed like a very fake laugh. Something told me Demi was really into this "boy-toy" stuff.

"So who's mine?" I asked Demi as we walked out of my dorm and I locked the door.

"Right there," She whispered to me. I turned my head and saw myself staring at the boy from English class, who asked me to save him a dance.

"Hey," He said from the other side of the hall.

"His names Jake, He's into football, and partying," She said giving me the fill in before I got the chance to make a fool of myself. "He's a total keeper," She laughed before walking a head of us.

"Hey Jake," I said giving my best flirty smile.

"Hey," He repeated. "You look great," He said looking up and down at me. I murmured a quick thank you and we made our way to the dance hall Emily booked, where the party was being thrown.

I walked silently with Jakes words in my head "you look great," I was wearing a black halter dress that came slightly bellow my knees. It was a pretty simple dresses, but at the same time fit my body perfectly and I felt really comfortable in it. It was the sort of dress I would where at the dance competitions I used to go to. Shows skin, but not slutty. Still, I couldn't help wondering if the other girls followed the same dress code.

I was surprised to see that Emily, had arranged for basically the whole school to be here. Girls everywhere in frilly party dresses and heals, and boys in fancy suits. It was actually funny. Most parties at my old school weren't like this, they were full of booze, and hard core grinding. While right now no one was on the dance floor. For a school specializing in dance, this was lame.

An hour or so passed and I felt like screaming. This couldn't get any worse. The first hour of the party and all I did was walk around with my arms link with Jakes. Jake took the initiative and brought me around the whole room introducing me to everyone. I felt like one of those annoying trophy wives, just stand there and smile while their husbands brag about their lives. The worst part is I'm not Jakes wife, I'm not even his girlfriend

"Jake," I said as he introduced me to some of the other guys on the football team. "I'm going to grab a drink okay," I said finally breaking free from his grasp.

"Sure," He said. As if I needed his permission.

I walked away throwing one glance back at Jake. He was smiling, and laughing with the football boys. Hardcore partier my ass. I finally made my way to the drinks, and grabbed a fruit punch. I stood there silently for what felt like hours. I let my eyes scan the dance hall. Secretly hoping I would find Nick. He promised he would be here, but I hadn't seen him all night.

I continued scanning the room, when I noticed the change in song. Unlike that freak music they were playing before, I automatically recognized this one. It was a song . Sonny Munroe's new album The song, Falling Over Me was actually one of my favourite right now.

I'm Standing in the centre of the room,
I'm watching boys fallow girls perfume.
All is as it should be I assume,
Except for the distance between me and you

Your standing as a flower on a wall
The room is still, but were about to fall
And all the names that brought us here,
Simply fade away…

I listened silently and just absorbed the meaning. Sonny's music always had a way of speaking to me. I stood still, continuing to search the room for him. Until I found him. He was standing beside himself and the other side of the room. His arms were crossed over his chest, awkwardly swaying to the music. I smiled, it was as if the song was written for this occasion. I tried to look away, but my mind was set on watching him standing their, like a flower on a wall

Who you are is falling over me
(Who you are is falling over me )
Who you are is everything I need
(Who you are is everything I need )

I'm hoping,
I'm waiting,
I'm praying you are the one.
I'm hoping,
I'm waiting,
I'm praying you are the one.

I was surprised to find myself singing, but even more surprised to find the lyrics fit my mood perfectly. I'm hoping, I'm waiting, I'm praying, he would notice me and come and speak to me.

I cant believe that night turned into today,
I used the line you were supposed to say…
And all the names that brought us here
Now we have to thank,

I made up my mind. I would go to him. And with that, my feet made their way to the curly haired boy, standing on the other side of the hall.

"Hey," I breathed to him, and laughed as he turned around shocked. "You came," I said trying to hold back my smile.

"I said I would," He said blushing slightly.

"You look great," I said. Staring over his black suit and dark purple dress shirt. Yes, I'm completely aware that the guys are supposed to be the ones saying this, but Sonny's words stuck to me, I used the line you were supposed to say. So instead I broke the ice.

"Not compared to you," Nick said. Finally, he brought his eyes to mine, and as blue met brown my heart fluttered. "You look beautiful," He said.

Who you are is falling over me
(Who you are is falling over me )
Who you are has got me on my knees
(Who you are has got me on my knees)

I'm hoping,
I'm waiting,
I'm praying you are the one.
I'm hoping,
I'm waiting,
I'm praying you are the one.

The lyrics came to me, but this time not with Sonny's voice. This time Nick was breathing the lyrics into my ear. I noticed something different about him right now, he had a new confidence that I hadn't seen before, and it was majorly sexy. But lets pretend I never said that.

If you wait, I will wait,
I will follow
I'm here to stay,
As long as we promise tomorrow
Promise you, today
I'll wait
I'll wait.

"God I love this song," I said out loud.

"Me too," Nick said. And I couldn't help but blush. I was surprised, nobody ever makes me blush. No one has that kind of power of me. I, make guys blush. Not the other way around.

Who you are is falling over
(Who you are is falling over me)
And who you are has got me on my knees
(Who you are is everything to me)

I'm hoping,
I'm waiting,
I'm praying you are the one.
I'm hoping,
I'm waiting
I'm praying you are the one.

I was trying to not make anymore eye contact with Nick. Just stand here and enjoy his presence, but that was to hard with him being so beautiful, and me needing to steal a glance at him every second. And sadly he would catch me.

I listened as the songs ending instrumental played. Slightly tapping my foot to match the beat. "You are the one," I breathed out as the song finished. I blushed as the words left my mouth, and I realized I was staring directly into Nicks eyes.

"Alright everyone!" Emily's voice over the intercom interrupting our awkward moment. "Are you ready to dance East Northumberland High style?" She asked as everyone cheered. "Okay, let's see who our first couple to dance is," she said as a spotlight started shinning across the room.

"Think its gonna land on you?" I whispered into his ear.

"Hell no," He laughed. "It's a couple's dance, and I don't have a partner," He said. I made a noise to show I agreed, but silently I wouldn't mind It landing on Nick. I'd love to see him dance.

Suddenly I felt a bright light blind my eyes. "Looks like we have our paring!" I herd Emily exclaim.

"Does she mean us?" I herd Nick ask.

"Looks like you have a partner now," I said trying to sound cocky, but honestly scared. I didn't want my first dance at East Northumberland High to come out like this. In front of many trained dancer who would critic me.

"Alright then," He said stuttering nervously. "Lets get this over with," He said leading me to the dance floor.

"Fancy a Tango?" I herd Emily's voice say.

"Is that okay with you?" He asked. I gave a modest nod.

"Bring it on," I laughed.

"Alright!" Emily's voice yelled out. "Lets get this started,"

Emily voice was soon drowned at with a dance I automatically recognized. "Valentine's Dance Tango," Nick whispered to me.

"I know Nicholas," I said rolling my eyes.

"Just checking," He laughed before we started silently swaying our hips to the sound of the music. I could hear the crowed getting bored, and I already knew Nick would try and keep it safe. So I made a quick decision, and slid my left leg across the floor in a half circle.

"What was that?" He asked.

"Guess the music just speaks to me," I said. "Or maybe I'm trying to keep the crown alive," I said, as he gave a small chuckle. We continued to sway until the music hit a beat, and Nick pulled me in closer to him. He took a step back, and I did my job following him. He then stepped out and back in.

"Having fun?" He whispered.

I rolled my body back, then kicked my leg up. "Let's just say this night got a lot more interesting," I smiled.

We then dance in silence as I made another small circle with my leg, and he pulled me in close. He took a step back, before coming in close again. With our noses touching. I rolled my shoulders, then my hips as he then spun me around.

We stepped to the music, making a perfect square, before I kicked my legs around mine, then his. "Nice flare," He said before continuing to lead my in different directions.

He stuck he leg out, and I went with it, into an almost splits before he pulled me back up and spun me around. He paused as I wrapped one leg around his waist, and lifted the other into the air.

We continued to dance around the room, both doing quick work with our feet that cause many Oh's and Ah's. I continued to do the floor work with my legs, this time though Nick put his foot right under mine, allowing my to push off of them and he lifted me into the air.

Nick and I continued in a bow step, then he lifted me in the air and I wrapped my legs around his waist. He then put me down and spun me. He let go of me, as we both moved into a solo. Finally he pulled me into him again, and he held me there, our faces inches away as the song finished.

"Your amazing," He breathed to me.

"Your not so bad yourself," I said smiling.

We walked out off the centre stage as the crowed cheered and other pairs made their way to the centre of the dance floor.
