Chapter Three: Pretty New Boy

"So, he doesn't like me?" Miley asked.

"Just as a friend, Miley." Lilly replied.

That wasn't the first thing she wanted to hear on a Tuesday morning.

"Are you sure?" Miley asked again.

Lilly nodded, while looking at her.

"I'm sure, Miles. He said it pretty well." she said.

Miley sighed, and entered the classroom, without looking at Oliver.

"Maybe you should talk to him."

"No, Lilly! If I do, all we are going to do is fight."

"Well, you have to have talk to him, and say how you feel! Otherwise, he'll--"

The bell rang, cutting Lilly off, and Mrs. Espinosa came into the classroom, following her was a guy around their age.

Miley and Lilly smiled at each other, and then turned to face the front.

Mrs. Espinosa instructed the boy to stand infront of the classroom, and when he finally looked up, he seemed to have been looking at Miley, and he smiled, making Miley blush, and she smiled back.

"Okay, class. This is Chad Ferris, and he'll be joining us today. Chad, why don't you tell us some things about yourself." Mrs. Espinosa.

"Well, I came from Orlando, Flordia, and I love to surf, so it's good to come to a state where waves crash."

Chad had the classical surfer look: flippy, blonde hair with hints of brown, and bright, green eyes, the type of eyes that Miley found herself being sucked into.

"Good, Chad. You'll sit next to Miss Stewart." Mrs. Espinosa said, and Chad sluntered over to the empty seat that was next to Miley's desk, and Miley just looked at him.

Chad just looked like a movie star. Like a Jake-Ryan wannabe, except he surfed, and...he just seemed different.

After the bell had rang, Miley, Lilly, and Oliver walked out of the classroom.

"So--" Oliver started to say, but a voice called out, "Miley!"

Miley brighten when she realized it was Chad, coming up to them.

"Hey, Chad. What's up?" Miley asked.

"Do you know where room 202 is?" Chad asked.

"Oh, yeah, sure. It's where me and Lilly are going. Come on." Miley said, but Oliver pulled her back.

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Oliver asked.

"Okay..." Miley said, and Oliver led her away from Lilly and Chad.

Once they were alone, Oliver said, "What is up with you? Usually you don't like boys like Chad."

Miley's eyes narrowed.

"Well, maybe I do now! You know, people change, Oliver." Miley replied.

"No, you don't get it. What if Chad is a player, and you fall into his trap? I've seen it before, Miley, and I don't--"

Miley cutted him off, a frown on her face.

"Oliver, please. I get that from my daddy, and I certainly don't need it from you. I need to show Chad where the room is."

She walked away, leaving Oliver standing there by the lockers.

As she walked back to Lilly and Chad, she wondered if Oliver said was true.

Was Chad a player? He didn't seem like it, but she could be wrong also.

When she came back to Lilly and Chad, Lilly asked, "What did Oliver want?"

Miley smiled as she linked arms with Chad and Lilly.

She wasn't going to tell them that Oliver thought Chad was a player.

"Oh, nothing."
