Alright, if any of you don't already know this, I changed stuff in chapters 1, 2, 5, and 8. They're essential to the upcoming chapters, so read them! And it might help if you saw the movie 'The Swan Princess'.

Thanx BrazilianPrincess, aprilrainer15, lotsabighearts(Kristin), nysunsetangel, Princess Kazula, Fire-Chicken, and Xx.maddy.sparx.xX for reviewing my last chapter! You guys are my new besties! But if Sara is reading this, you still are too!

Disclaimer: If I owned any of this stuff, I'd be rich, and I could afford to update faster! Get it? Afford… never mind. I just don't own Hannah Montana or any of the songs I use, except one that's coming up! I'll tell you which one it is when it comes.

"Alright, class. Since it's the first day back, I'll let you all get reacquainted." Mr. Correlli announced, clearly saying that he had no lesson plan.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't my annoying neighbor. And here I was so sure that you had been left in Tennessee." Jake turned to the girl next to him and said smoothly, though on the inside he was freaking out.

'Everything I know is a lie! Miley's frickin HOT!' He shouted in his head.

"Looks like we're both at a loss." She said with her usual attitude. But this time, Jake felt different about it. He tried to swallow the tons of drool that was forming in his mouth, but the back of his throat was like sandpaper.

Oliver walked over and sat next to him. "What's up ladies?" Jake cleared his throat in annoyance and Oliver turned to him. "And Jake?"

"Nothing much." He replied simply. Than he grasped Oliver's shirt collar and dragging him to a corner.

"Ow! Dude, you just pulled out my first chest hair!" Oliver complained, rubbing his chest consolingly.

"Who cares?! We have a bigger problem!" Jake said melodramatically.

"What?" Oliver asked, genuinely concerned. Jake pointed his hand at Miley.

"THAT!" he whispered in Oliver's ear.

"What about her?"

"Look at her!"

"She looks fine."

"Exactly!" the two brain cells in Oliver's head clicked, Jake figured, because he said, "Oh. You like her now." in an all-knowing way.

Jake started stuttering. "Wha- Me? Like her- No way! You're crazy!" Oliver's eyebrow raised in skepticism. "Seriously!"

"Uh-huh. Oh, and you've had a little drool," Oliver motioned to the spot where it would be if he were Jake on his own face, "right here." Hastily, Jake whipped it away. "It's like that old story. The ugly ducklings usually turn into swans." Oliver said in a poetic way that left Jake shocked. "What? I can be deep."

The entire day, Jake was lost in a dual over his emotions. Part of him wanted to accept the fact that Miley was cute and that he liked her, and the other part was saying that he couldn't like her. They were life-long enemies.

However, the following day, he was forced to accept these new feelings for her when countless guys asked her to the 'Welcome Back' dance. She turned them down, knowing they only like her because of her new look. And idea formed in Jake's head. Well, two, but one could be dealt with later.

At the lunch table, the only thing that was talked about was what the choir and drama club were doing for the musical this year. This was Jake's perfect opportunity for an almost-date with his new kinda-crush.

"So, listen, I've been thinking." Before he could go on, Miley cut in.

"Uh oh, this can't be good."

He glared slightly before continuing. "I was thinking that maybe we should all go to the dance as a group thing."

"That's a good idea." Lilly said.

"I'll be leaving some of the ladies heartbroken, but that's what Oliver Oken does anyway." No need to say who said that.

"For once, a smart thought came out of your head, Leslie." Miley said, wanting to annoy him some way in that sentence. His face burned up. 'Hormones, you have weird taste.' He inwardly scolded his pubescent mind.

At the end of the day, Mr. Correlli announced that they'd be watching a movie the next day. It was the animated movie 'The Swan Princess'. Sneers of protest rose from the class.

"Or we could watch Romeo and Juliet." He suggested.

"Woo, Swan Princess!" They all made a miraculous change of heart. "That's what I thought. Watch closely, that's gonna be our winter play."

"I think I've seen that movie before." Lilly said as they left the room.

"I don't think I have." Miley commented, not recollecting the film.

That afternoon, Jake put his second plan into action. "Hey, Roger, I think I got an idea of who should play Zerronda. Hannah Montana. Think of how many viewers we'd get." Jake suggested.

"Good point. I'll mention it to the writers, and if they agree, I'll call her manager." They hung up. Jake cheered, knowing what'll happen if they all agree.

Over at Miley's house, she and Lilly were doing their homework when her Hannah phone rang.

"Hello?" Miley answered, not recognizing the number.

"Hi, this is the producer of Zombie High. Is Robby Ray around?" the man on the other line asked.

"Yeah, hold on. Dad!" Miley shouted as she held the phone against her shoulder. He came up.

"Yeah?"

"Here" She held the pink phone out to him.

"Hello?" He went back into the kitchen. A curious Lilly and Miley followed.

"Well, I'll ask. Hannah!" He shouted. The girls held their hands to their ears. "Oh, sorry. The producers of Zombie High were wondering if you wanted to be a special guest star on the show."

She hesitated, before thinking of the career opportunities. "I guess." She answered.

"Yes, she'll do it." He said back into the phone before hanging up. "They;'re sending Jake over with the script." He informed.

When he arrived, there was a sticky note attached to the front of it that read, in Jake's handwriting:

Miley: See page 41.

Lilly: Find some ear plugs.

As she flipped to the page, they read through the lines until one particular part. Lilly plugged her ears as hard as she could.

If you read the first version, than this isn't a cliffie. Or if you think about it enough. But, it was a good time to end it. Please review!
