Sorry for taking such a long time in updating, homework is killer! Just to let you know, the only thoughts will be from Miley's point of view, and they are italics, but I'll try to remind you. With that out of the way, here's chapter 2!

Chapter 2

First Day

Lily, Miley, and Demi drove up to Seaview High, Lily driving her pink convertible.

"I can't believe we're sophomores," Lily exclaimed, "before you know it, juniors, and then seniors, and the we're totally in college!"

"Great, by then maybe I'll have brushed the tangles out of my hair," Demi remarked, absentmindedly, looking into her small compact.

"Whatever happens, it's a whole new year, and I have a good feeling about it" Miley said optimistically.

"Maybe you're right," Lily agreed, then gasped, "Check out that parking spot!"

"See, our luck is changing," Miley said pointedly. It seemed that way until a blue Ferarri, also with three girls riding in it, quickly pulled into the spot before Lily had a chance.

Of course, Miley thought sarcastically, it would be Mikayla and her lemmings, Amber and Ashley.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Mikayla said, in a way that was definitely not sorry, " were you guys going for this spot? How awkward."

"It's for the best," Amber said loudly, "you saved her the embarrassment of parking that junk heap where people can actually see it" Mikayla sniffed.

"How nice of me"

"Hey, Mikayla!" someone called. All three girls chorused hellos and good to see yous.

"Yeah, how nice of her" Miley said.

Miley, Demi, and Lily walked down the halls of school, along the blue lockers. Demi was talking about what to wear when she ran for class president.

"So I thought if I wear my hair up, I'll have that studious presidential look, and….hey Miley, are you listening?" Demi suddenly noticed Miley had frozen in place. She looked in the direction that Miley was looking. Jake Ryan had just walked into the school. He was the captain of the football team, and basically your average primo boy of the school.

He high-five another guy on the team as he walked in, wearing his jacket in the school's colors. Miley remained frozen, wide-eyed, watching him. Lily waved her hand infront of her face, and she snapped out of it.

"Hello? Miley, crushing on Mr. hottie school jock is a cliché, and frankly, I think you're better than that!" Lily reprimanded.

"Please, you're saying she shouldn't crush on the hottest guy in school just because he's the hottest guy in school?" Demi argued.

"I'm saying there are- Lily was interrupted by Miley.

"Hi? Still here, and could you please not announce to the entire school that- as Miley watched, Jake waved at someone and started walking in their direction. "I think he just smiled at me!" Miley gasped, "shh, here he comes!" As Jake walked, Miley began to wave at him.

"Hey, Miley" Jake said as he walked by. Miley would have been excited if he hadn't headed straight for Mikayla.

"Hey, Babe! Miss me?" Jake asked his girlfriend.

"Of course I did, even though I saw you last night," Mikayla giggled.

Gag, Miley thought.

"Well, it's not so bad," Demi said optimistically, "at least he remembered your name this time"

"Demi's right, Kelly," Lily teased. The three of them watched as Jake and Mikayla walked onto the courtyard in the center of the school, where several people greeted them.

"And we lose them to the populotstie," Lily remarked.

"It's just a lawn, I don't know why the popular people are the only ones who can hang out there." Miley protested.

"See, the first thing I'm going to do when I'm elected it eliminate clique hangouts." Demi decided, "I mean, imagine a world without social boundaries, where everyone is free to hang out anywhere."

As Demi's words echoed in her mind, Miley began to daydream.

She walked out onto the popular lawn, waving at people left and right.

"Hey Miley!" everyone said as she went by. She looked straight ahead, and there was Jake.

"Good to see you" He waved at her.

Miley was suddenly jerked out of her dream.

"Staring at something?" Miley hadn't noticed when Mikayla left Jake's side and walked over to them. "Don't tell me you still have a crush on my boyfriend. Isn't that just sad for you at this point?" Mikayla walked away snootily with her sidekicks, Amber and Ashley, on either side of her, all three giggling loudly.

"Observe," Lily said with disgust in her voice, "the teenage witch in her natural habitat. I can't believe you used to be friends with her"

"Used to be" Miley said, equally disgusted, "like, back in fifth grade, before she became 'Miss I-rule-the-world'!" The bell rang.

"Okay, time to go talk to Mr. Corelli about that anchor job" Miley realized nevously.

"Good luck!" Demi told her.

"Forget luck! You rock!" Lily added.

"Thanks" Miley shouted down the hall as she walked towards the newsroom.
