Chapter 10

Planning

I got to school pretty early in the morning and felt exhausted. I didn't sleep so good last night, I just couldn't forget about what Oliver said and it's driving me crazy!

"Just forget it Truscott, its stupid." I slammed my locker shut. I closed my eyes and hit my forehead against the door.

God, I'm so stupid! Ahh!

I continuously hit my head against the locker.

How can I be so blind? Oliver's just there because he's my friend and he's right it would be weird if we did end up dating, but seriously, did he have to make it sound so bad last night?

I shook my head trying to forget about this stupid situation. I need something to distract me.

"Lilly?"

I stopped everything I was doing and turned my head to the voice seeing Matt Marshall. He was near the lockers, working his way toward me with a smile on his face.

"Oh hey Matt." I smiled at him and turned around to lean against the door.

"What's wrong?" He said as he got closer to me.

I shrugged. "Nothing really."

He leaned against the locker next to me and looked at me.

"Tell me your story." He said.

I smiled. Matt knows I can tell him anything even if it's personal. He's like a big brother I wished I had; he's such a good friend. He's someone I end up going to when I need help so it would be alright if I told him. He sort of knows I like Oliver, I did mention to him about the forever talk the last time I talked to him and I told him about detention so he knows about that, except the part about the kiss and he doesn't know about the pool incident. Boy, so much to tell him.

"Okay." I said and told him everything. I started from the forever talk and told him how Oliver mentions something about Forever all the time. Then I told him about the pool incident and what there to what happened last night. It just felt so good to tell him this, I feel completely relieved.

"Wow." He said and his eyes widened.

"Yeah." I sighed. "His kisses are amazing. It feels weird now after what he said. I'm nothing more than a friend to him and it sucks really badly and he confuses me."

"Just because he's kissing you now? I thought you liked him." He smiled and I blushed.

"No!" I rolled my eyes. "Okay, like he sends me different messages at times. Sometimes it's like he wants to kiss me, sometimes I feel like he just wants to tease me, and sometimes it's like nothing happened between us. You're a guy, what does it mean?"

I curiously watched him as he thought about what I said. I wonder what I saw in him when I liked him. If I think about it, I liked Oliver because his talk just made me feel so weird. What would happen if I actually hadn't changed to be all girlified and prettified just for him? Would we actually have dated?

"Lilly, you okay up there?" Matt tapped my forehead and I shook my head.

"Huh?" I asked him and he laughed.

"You and your mind." He shook his head. "You got it bad for Oliver huh?" He asked.

"Shut up." I said and changed the subject; he doesn't need to know how much I like Oliver just yet. "What does it mean? Even my parent's conversation is irritating me."

"Well, your parents were ones who asked if there was something going between you. You shouldn't think too much of it. He could be your typical teenage boy who covers up to impress the parents." Matt said.

"Yeah, I thought of that, but it couldn't be it. He sounded serious when he said it."

Matt moved in front of me and opened his arms.

"Don't worry about it okay?"

I hugged him tightly and he patted my back. "Thanks for listening to me." I said and let him go.

With one last wave, he left me alone and I was going to get to my first period class. I needed to think about it. Thinking hurts, but it's the only think I can do nowadays because of stupid Oliver. I sighed and was about to leave when I hear someone talking.

"Nice hug."

I turned to the voice and saw Oliver holding his things in his arms. "Yeah." I crossed my arms over my chest and stared at Oliver. He walked to me and raised his eyebrows.

"Why are you with him? I thought you were over him." Oliver said and I rolled my eyes.

"What?" We're friends and I needed help about something." I said to him and started to fiddle with the trap of my bag. Yeah, I'm definitely uncomfortable being next to Oliver.

"We're friends, why didn't you come to me?" He asked and I stared at him. He looked a little pissed off and it kind of looked like he didn't approve of me talking to Matt. Gosh, can't he get over something that happened over two years ago?

"He was here first and he asked me what's wrong." I shrugged. I didn't want to start an argument with him after what happened last night. I just wanted to come clean about everything and just forget about it.

"I thought we could tell each other everything!" Oliver exclaimed had a disgusted look on his face.

"Relax Oliver!" I couldn't believe how Oliver's acting right now. He's acting like he has to be the center of my whole life and it's stupid. "You're not my only friend!" I raised my voice and he rolled his eyes.

"Whatever." He said and turned around, walking away.

"Gosh!" I threw my hands up in the air and started to walk away. Boys are such idiots, seriously.

During lunch I hung out with Miley since I didn't feel like being with my other friends. If I hung out with the skater dudes, Oliver would probably think I'm a slut or something after what happened in the morning. If I hung out with the cheerleaders, he'd probably come and just try and flirt with them like every other time I hung out with them.

I'm seriously confused and irritated by Oliver. I didn't even know that Oliver was the jealous type after what happened today.

Miley and I sat at one of the lunch tables and I dug into my lunch. Today is spaghetti day and I wasn't up for eating.

"So what's up Lilly?" Miley said as soon as I dug my fork into the food.

"Well, nothing." I said and looked up at Miley as she raised her eyebrows at me as if she didn't believe me.

I sighed and twirled my fork in my plate. I just wanted to go home, but if I went this early, my parents would know that something's wrong with me. I don't want anyone else to know that I'm in a bad mood. Matt had an exception to knowing, I needed a hug, or a friend and he was there.

"You're lying. You usually ask to hang out when something is wrong or you're angry." She scooted closer to me and nudged my arm. "Tell me Lilly, I know you want to."

I shook my head. "It's nothing serious." I dropped my fork and rubbed my eye. "Okay, last night Oliver came over and during dinner my parents asked us if we were dating." I groaned and pushed my plate forward so that I could put my forehead on the table. "I got upset last night and now I'm just a mess."

"Aww, Lilly." Miley put her hand on my back and rubbed it. "I feel your pain. My dad did that to me when I brought Dex home with me one day."

I chuckled and pushed her shoulder. "I'm serious though. It really made me feel different. Oliver made sure that we weren't dating, but it was weird." I shook my head.

"Maybe you have a little thing for our little friend?" She said and stuck her fork in her noodles and took a small bite out of it.

"No, never. He's been my best friend since preschool!" I shook my head and turned away while biting my lip. I just can't get myself to tell Miley about my crush on Oliver, but I can to Matt. Man, I am messed up.

"Yeah, I believe you." Miley sarcastically said and I turned to her pretending I hadn't heard her.

"Anyway, what are we doing this weekend? We have a four day weekend and I have nothing to do except for babysitting Eric." I rolled my eyes and pulled my lunch plate back in front of me. I took a bite of my food while waiting for Miley's response.

"Well, Friday I have a Hannah thing, but on Saturday and Sunday I'm definitely free." She tapped her finger lightly against the table. Then she smiled and clasped her hands together. "How about we camp out at the beach? We haven't done that for a really long time. Maybe it would be fun, we could go back home on Monday just in time for anything important."

Camping out at the beach for a night and two days. Sounds like a lot of fun, I mean last time I did that with Miley, Oliver and Jackson was there. The two of us would be even more fun, hmm.

"Camping at the beach sounds like a good idea, we're in."

Two lunch trays appeared in front of me Oliver sat down across of me with Jake beside him.

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat and stared down at my tray. Man Oliver had to be here while Miley and I were talking about it. Guess it wont be a girls night like I was somewhat hoping it would be.

"Yup, I haven't done that before." Jake said and Miley giggled.

"Okay, let's do it!" Miley said and hit her fists against the table.

"No, I can't." I replied softly and suddenly, Miley took me from my shoulders and forced me to look at her.

"Yes you can, please! We can talk, have some time together, it would be awesome." Miley exclaimed and I shrugged.

I didn't want to go and be alone with Oliver again. Last time I did, we were almost caught kissing by my mom and he clearly stated that we're friends and being together is weird. Gosh, he makes it like we aren't weird now. He kissed me almost kissed me four times together. I'm the one who started the kisses and now he just freely kissing me. Ugh, again with me thinking about the kisses!

I found myself growing irritated once again and quickly glanced at Oliver as he stuffed his face with a piece of bread. I looked back at Miley and closed my eyes for a second.

"I'll do it."

A/N Okay finally! Haha. I was having trouble with this chapter. Wrote it during summer school because my work was getting me all frustrated. Haha. Anyway hope you liked it and sorry if it didnt make much sense. I sense a lot of things happening when they go camping...
