"Knew where I was going,
When you left the room.
You're the kind of guy;
That makes me wanna;
Follow through to you.
I've been trying to leave here,
For the longest time.
The second that I saw you;
I just knew I found my ride by.
I like it, I like it, I like it.
I like it, I like it, I like it."

Miley sat in the public library one evening, doing some research for her science assignment. She scratched her head at all the complicated stuff in the huge dusty old book she was currently referring. She sighed in frustration and shut the book swiftly only for the dust to drift up making her sneeze.
She heard someone chuckle from behind her. She turned around to find Nick standing there, looking rather bemused. "Hi." He whispered since they were in a library, still smiling that cocky little smile of his. Miley frowned playfully, "Oh, it's you." She said teasingly, whispering too, and turned around.
Wood scraping the floor echoed across the silent room as Nick sat down next to her. "What is that supposed to mean?" he squabbled back. She turned to him, smiling, "Whatever you want it to mean." She said.
"Well, I don't want it to mean anything… and you do realize this conversation is getting extremely senseless, don't you?" he replied, chuckling. She laughed, "Alright. Mr. Everything-has-to-make-sense." He raised an eyebrow; both of them were still smiling big.
"So, what're you doing?" he asked, eyeing the stuff in front of her. "Oh, just taking a nap… what does it look like I'm doing?!" she cried sarcastically. He chuckled, "Want some help?" "I don't know… this stuff might be too much for your tiny little IQ." She teased.
He gasped, "I resent that." She laughed and stood up, picking the heavy books with her. He stood up as well and followed her to the shelves. "So, what're YOU doing here? His is kinda like a place for smart people, you know?" she teased.
He rolled his eyes, "I'm smart. And I'm here for the same reason you are." "Right," she replied. He picked a few books himself and they both returned to the tables. "Ugh. This stuff is all too much for a sixteen-year old!" she cried dramatically.
He chuckled, "Tell me about it. What do you say we study together? Like this Friday night… maybe over dinner or--" she turned to face him and tilted her head a half smile on her face. "Are you asking me out?" He shrugged nonchalantly, "What would you say if I was?" She shrugged, imitating him, "I would say, try again and better next time."
He raised his eyebrows, "What does that mean?" "I'll let you figure that out, and for now, SH! The library lady has been looking at us and let me tell you, she's shooting death glares."
He watched her for a few seconds, completely stunned by her. He smiled and shook his head at himself, and starting his work as well.
What was this girl doing to him?

"Oooh, that one's a cutie patootie!" Mitchie cried as the girls stood in the hallway, Monday morning. They were 'boy sighting'. "Totally!" Alex agreed, grinning big. Miley rolled her eyes at her new fiends, "Is this how you guys spend your time every morning?" Mitchie turned to her for a second, "Of course! It's fun!"
Miley shook her head and turned to face the front. "Tell me about it. I keep telling them this is pathetic and desperate." Lily agreed with Miley. "Hey, it's only pathetic and desperate if they knew; which they don't!" Alex explained like it was the most obvious thing ever.
Miley and Lilly rolled their eyes again in chorus. A few minutes passed by and a smile grew on Mitchie's face. Miley looked at her confused, "What're you smiling about?" she asked. "Nothing." Mitchie replied, tryin to hide her smile. Miley looked at Alex and Lilly who had matching smirks on their faces.
"What is it?!" Miley cried. "Oh, just that the guy whom our Mitchie here is crushing on just walked by." Alex explained to Miley, still smirking as Mitchie shot her a glare. "Really? Which one?!" Miley exclaimed. Lilly pointed, smugly grinning still.
"Oh he's cute. Nice choice, Mitch." Miley said smiling, "What's his name?" "Joe." Alex said. "I don't have a crush on him! And I do NOT think he is the cutest guy ever or that the way his eyes sparkle makes my heart melt and--and…" Mitchie trailed off, staring into space; sighing dreamily and totally forgetting the purpose of the sentence in the first place.
Miley giggled, "Yeah, Ok. Mitchie, you're so smitten!" "Am not." The other three just shook their heads.

"Miley!" Miley heard her mom yell that evening as she sat in her room, lying on bed and reading a book. Her head shot up and she yelled back, "Yes, mom?" "Someone's here to see you!" "Coming!" Miley yelled and stood up, putting her book down and tying her hair up in a messy bun.
Who could it be? She wondered. She didn't exactly know that many people here and those who did would have called or something before coming over. She skipped down the stairs as she heard her mom call from the kitchen, "In here!"
She walked into the kitchen and was surprised to find Nick sitting at the dining table, biting into one of her mom's chocolate chip cookies as her mom stood there with oven mitts on. She smiled confused, "Hey." Nick looked up and smiled back, "Hi." Miley looked up at her mom who was smiling then back at the boy.
"What're you doing here?" she asked, smiling confusedly. "Now Miley is that a question you ask a visitor?" her mom scolded playfully. She laughed as he chuckled along. "Sorry. What brings you here, kind sir? Better mom?" she asked playfully as they all laughed.
Nick stood up, "I just wanted to come by to show you something." Miley raised an eyebrow. "And that would be…?" "Come with me, I'll show you." "Ok…?"

"Nick, what's this?" she questioned, looking around the room (which she had no idea what kind of a room it was) incredulously. The light was dimmed and all. She looked back at him like this was crazy to find him holding a rose. "Wha--? She started confusedly.
"Remember what you said at the library?" He asked. "What?" she replied to his question with one of her own. Despite all the mystification and everything, she couldn't help but smile at how cute he looked standing in front of her with a rose in his hand with a sheepish smile on his face.
"That I should 'try again and better next time'?" his expression sheepish. "Nick, I was just kidding!" He shrugged, "I wasn't. Now, will you take this so that I can stop feeling embarrassed?" he indicated to the flower in his hand. "Oh." She muttered, "Right."
A smile grew on her face as she took it. "So, NOW will you go out with me?" he asked making her smile really big, "Hmm… I don't know. Maybe I should let you try again—" He groaned, "Oh you gotta be kidding me!" Miley laughed, "No worries; I am. I'd love to. And to be honest, nobody's ever been so sweet to me."
He smiled and breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, didn't I tell you I was the nice kind?" she shook her head playfully and rolled her eyes, "Alright, alright."
"Come on, let's go." He said, putting his hand out for her to take. She nodded and took it as he smiled at her before leading her back to his car to take her back home. And as she sat in the passenger seat, stealing glances at his gorgeous self when he wasn't looking, she smiled subconsciously thinking about what just happened.
What was this guy doing to her?
