Author's Notes: Sorry things have been a bit hectic lately… hopefully everything will lighten up soon though. Thanks for the reviews, here's the update!
It's been a week now that Lilly and me have been going steady. I walk into the school heading to her locker, everyone watches me walk by, admiring me for once. Since that makeover Lilly gave me, I've been dressing up a lot sexier. I high-five Chad as I pass him, and he shouts to me as I continue walking, "Have fun with Lilly! If ya know what I mean," he winks.
I grin and approach Lilly, she takes my hand instantly and gives me a warm smile, I take a deep breath in and try to sustain myself from liking her too much, 'cause we'll be over in 3 weeks.
As Lilly and I walk to our first period, Oliver comes up to me, "Miles where've you been? You left me alone with Sarah and Danny Saturday night!"
"Sorry Oliver, I gotta go, I'll talk to you later," I wave goodbye politely and continue to math. I can't be seen with Oliver anymore, especially since I'm now associated with the populars.
"Hey Miley, I'm gonna get pizza with Mikayla after school, wanna come?" Oh my god. Lilly just invited me with her for once! She's never done this before, especially after her rules of no outside school dates.
"Yeah!" I reply a bit too excited I hope she doesn't notice.
When we enter the classroom Mikayla is sitting at her desk doing homework that is due today, "Hey Mikayla," I greet. Mikayla is the prettiest girl in school… well right after Lilly that is.
"Hi Miley," she winks at me, but quickly passes it off as if it were normal so Lilly doesn't get mad at her.
I think after me and Lilly are done, since she doesn't like me anyways, I'll go with Mikayla, who came out right after Amber and Ashley did. I mean she seems like she's always flirting with me, it'll be perfect.
"Mikayla, Miley's gonna join us after school, that all right?" Lilly drops my hand and places her books on her desk.
"Yeah, fine with me," Mikayla sneaks a secret glance at me while Lilly is rummaging through her stuff.

At Lunch
"Hey Miles, you comin' to our football game today?" Jesse asks while throwing a football back and forth with Lucas.
"Yeah, sure, what time?" I ask lying down in the grass, next to Lilly, who's tanning.
"Seven, and if we win we're going to celebrate after," he grunts as he catches the ball, "so it's mandatory that you go to that as well."
"Of course," I start to rub Lilly's hand with mine, and I see a smile creep onto her face.
"Look who's coming!" Lucas shouts and points to behind Jesse, glancing over I see Danny walking towards me.
I sit up, and wait for him to reach me, "Miley are you coming to the study session tonight?" he asks scratching his head a bit, causing flakes to fall off.
Before I could even respond, Jesse did for me, "She can't. She'll be at our game tonight, now get lost," he sneers at Danny.
"Miley is this really you?" Danny points to Jesse, Lucas, and Lilly before going back to his table with Sarah and Oliver.
The bell just rung, and Lilly stands up, hugging me goodbye since we don't have next period together. Lucas walks over to me, "Hey since your woman can't take you, I'll walk with you," he wraps his arm around my shoulders, and I laugh lightly enjoying being popular for once.
We pass Oliver, Danny, and Sarah and I hear them whispering about me.
"She's changed so much, I don't know if I like her anymore."
"Yeah, shh… here she comes."
I brush off what they said, and just pay attention to Lucas, "Jake isn't coming back anytime soon, right?" I just wanted to assure he wouldn't come back and find me dating Lilly.
"Nah, he's in Romania. Gonna be gone for a looooong time, you're good for a while," he pats my left shoulder with the arm that was still wrapped around me.
In a way I really wish that Lilly did like me, so maybe we could be a real couple, and not just this one that's pretending in front of everyone… but this is what I asked for. I mean I only did this so I could become popular… and I am! Hanging with Lucas, Chad, and Jesse is fun; I can't wait for their game tonight! And pizza after school with Lilly and Mikayla!

After School
"So Lilly, what made you start dating Miley anyways?" Mikayla sips some of her chocolate shake.
"I don't know," Lilly smirks, trying to think of something, looking into my eyes for a few moments, she seems to come up with an answer, "she has amazing eyes, I mean look at them, they're this blue-gray-green color, it's beyond gorgeous. And maybe her intelligence helped a little," she giggles and brushes my arm with her fingertips.
I grin, I love when Lilly talks about me… in this positive way, it really makes it seems like we're real.
"And for you, Miley?" Mikayla turns the question to me.
"Who wouldn't want to date Lilly, for one?" I glance at Lilly, and see her blush a little, "she has this luscious long blonde hair," I run my fingers through it as I said that, "and you know that no matter what you do, she isn't judging."
Mikayla nods her head, taking in everything that was said, "you guys are really cute together, I hope this lasts," Lilly and I share a quick look, because we both know this won't last.
"I'll be right back, bathroom," Lilly says and walks away.
"You know if you ever do become available, I'm waiting," Mikayla winks at me, second time now, and takes a bite out of a slice of pizza.

At the Game
"Brrr, it's cold," Lilly states, and shivers slightly, rubbing her upper arms with her hands.
"Lils, we're in Malibu, California, how are you cold?" I laugh at her state right now.
"Well it's fifty degrees out! And I'm wearing a short-sleeved shirt," she reasons on her part.
"C'mere," I motion for her to come into my arms.
She looks around before deciding to do so. I wrap my arms around her, slightly rubbing her cold limbs, and placing my cheek on the top of her head, "Better?" I whisper.
"Much," she responds, and a cheer goes through the crowd as Jesse just scored a touchdown.
Her body is now radiating heat, and I feel even hotter than when it's a hundred degrees outside, "Miles, you're so warm," she snuggles even closer, and I let out a sigh of happiness.
This is what I always wished for, snuggling with Lilly Truscott while watching a football game only to go to an after party because they won… I just wish all of this were real, and not only part of it.
Jesse just scored another touchdown, and now I knew for sure that Lilly and me would be going to the celebration party, "Lils, we're definitely going to this party, I mean the score is like a bajillion to zero."
"Mmmh," she mumbles. I glance down and notice she's half-asleep in my arms, and I just smile contently.
Maybe I'll just take her home instead, she looks pretty tired. "Tomorrow, I want to show you something," she whispers, and I almost don't hear her because of the cheers going through the crowd, "come by my house with me after school."
