Chapter 8

Miley got into English and sat near Lilly. When the teacher gave them time in their groups again, Miley turned around. "So what are we working on now?"
"Wait a minute, first off...what was with you this morning?" Lilly crossed her arms.
"Well...talking to you would make Amber mad and she might tell my secret." Miley answered.
"Look, I don't want to be secret friends with you or whatever. Let's get this assignment done." Lilly replied. She didn't say much of anything to Miley after that.
When class was over, Lilly went right to her next class, Biology. She sat by herself at a table near the back. Before class started Sarah came over to Lilly's table. "Is it true?" Sarah asked.
"Is what true?" Lilly questioned.
"Are you in love with Oliver?" Sarah responded.
"What?!" Lilly asked. "Where did you hear that?"
"I heard from Jessica, who heard from Katie, who heard from Amber and Ashley." Sarah answered.
"Are you kidding me?" Lilly questioned. "I have to go."
"Is it true?" Sarah asked.
Lilly took her bag and her books and went to her locker to drop it off. Then she started walking and ran into Miley. "Good, I was going to look for you."
"Oh really?" Miley asked.
"Yeah, why the hell did you tell Amber and Ashley what I told you?" Lilly questioned.
"Well..." Miley started to explain.
"I don't even want to hear it. Thanks a lot for humiliating me and probably costing me the only friend I have left." Lilly stormed to the office.
"Can I help you?" The secretary asked.
"I need to go home." Lilly replied. "I feel sick."
"You'll just need to call your mother, so I know you have her permission." The secretary responded.
Lilly called her mom and let her talk to the secretary and then she started walking home. Her mom called her cell phone. "Honey, why did you leave early?"
"I told you, I feel sick." Lilly answered.
"You seemed fine this morning." Heather replied.
"I'm not." Lilly snapped.
"Ok, well I'll be home around 5 or 6 this evening." Heather said. "Be sure to find some food."
"I will, bye." Lilly replied.
"Bye." Heather added before they hung up.
Lilly walked into her house and layed on the couch. She let out the tears she had been holding back on the way home. Then she fell asleep for awhile.
When Lilly woke up, it was lunchtime, so she decided to make herself a grilled cheese. She heard her phone beep and walked over to see who she had a text message from. It was Oliver. Hey lilly where are you?
Lilly decided he must not have heard yet. She hit reply. I felt sick..came home She went back to the pan and flipped her grilled cheese. Then, a minute later, put it onto a plate.
When she sat back down on the couch, her phone beeped again. Mind if i come over? Id rather not go to algebra to see brian..
Lilly sighed. She didn't know if she wanted Oliver to come over. Maybe he knew and he was coming over to tell her he didn't like her anymore. Regardless she hit reply. Sure
She finished eating pretty quickly and then she went upstairs to clean up a little. She looked into the mirror and saw her makeup smeared and her hair was messy from when she slept. She brushed her hair and washed the makeup smudges off her face. She put her hair into a ponytail. Then she went to her room and left her black tank top on and put on a pair of denim bermuda shorts.
Lilly went downstairs when she heard a knock at the door. "Hey." She said after she opened the door.
"Hey, what are you up to?" Oliver asked.
"I just ate and before that I had a nap." Lilly responded. She led him into the house. "What's going on with you?"
"Nothing really." He sat down on the couch with Lilly. "So why did you come home early?"
"I didn't feel well." Lilly pulled her knees up to her chest as she watched what was on the tv.
"That's too bad." Oliver answered. "So do you have any food?" He grinned.
Lilly smiled. "I think there might be some meatballs and potatoes in the fridge from yesterday."
"Sweet." Oliver went to the fridge and took the plate and a fork. Then he started eating it cold.
"So how were your first half of classes for today?" Lilly asked.
"Boring. I had to work with chatterbox Sarah in History." Oliver replied.
Lilly's heart dropped. "Oh...? What did she have to say?"
"A lot, I ignored most of it." Oliver answered.
"But she didn't say...you didn't hear...?" Lilly tried to ask without giving anything away.
"Well she mentioned something about you, but I didn't know if I believed it or not." Oliver replied.
"What was it?" Lilly asked, even though she was sure she already knew.
"It's kind of dumb of me to mention...but, she said that you like me." Oliver explained awkwardly.
"Oh." Lilly replied.
He didn't mention that he heard most of the school talking about it. "Is it true?"
