REUNITED

*****Two Months Later*****

My alarm clock started to ring, pulling me away from a good dream. I swung my arm at it and missed. I still felt a little jet lagged seeing as how we had only gotten home from England the day before yesterday. It had been an exhausting two months in Europe. We were always doing something. I never had personal time to enjoy any of the places we were in. I even hardly had time to think but that was probably a good thing. All the sudden I heard pounding on my door.

"Shut that thing up Miles! Some of us don't have to get up early for high school anymore." Jackson yelled from behind the door. I tried to mumble, fuck off, but it came out more like, truck loft. I opened my eyes completely and managed to turn off my alarm clock. I swung my feet off the bed and managed to stand up. I shuffled over to the bathroom and took a shower.

After showering and getting dressed, I got all my stuff together in a backpack and headed down for breakfast. I could smell the bacon as soon as I got to the bottom of the stairs. When I walked in to the kitchen I noticed plates of eggs, bacon, toast and sausage.

"You better hurry up Bud, You're gonna be late for you're last first day of school." I groaned and rolled my eyes.

"What about when I start college? I'll have first days of school there too."

"Well you know what I meant. Now come on, you should be excited for your senior year." I groaned again. I don't understand why I should be so happy, high school never ends. I quickly ate my breakfast and rushed up the stairs to get my back pack, phone and my car keys. I rushed back downstairs and out the front door. I stood on the porch taking in the sun shine. It was a beautiful summer day, and I wanted nothing more then to be on the beach. I heard the front door open.

"Miley, get to school." My dad said before shutting the door. I sighed and walked out to my car. As I drove to school I noticed how empty the roads seemed since I left. I sighed yet again. I was going to be off on another tour by the end of this week. Another punishment brought down by my father. Though this punishment was rather different.

When I pulled in to the parking lot of the school, I noticed how semi-full it was. Suddenly something caught my eye. It was a flash of blond hair, gleaming in the summer sun. I watched as Lilly walked through the parking lot and up to the school building. Then a honking noise came from behind me making me jump. I eased forward and let the person pass. I decided to park next to the car I saw Lilly get out of. Maybe I could finally muster up the courage to talk to her. I slowly got out of my car and slugged my way up to the school. I was immediately swarmed by two girls, Amber and Ashley, who had never liked me till I came out as Miley.

"I can't believe you came back from England so soon." Amber stated.

"Yeah if I were you I wouldn't have came back to save my life." Ashley said.

"Was the shopping to die for in Europe?" Amber asked

"I bet you have like a billion new outfits." Ashley gushed.

"Though it doesn't look like you're wearing anything new." Amber remarked. I looked down at my clothing. I was wearing a pair of green sweat pants and a white camisole. "Well we need to get off to class. Lots of people to make jealous. See ya Miley." Amber and Ashley waved goodbye and headed upstairs. I walked down the hallway until I found the counselor's office. I sighed before knocking.

"Come in." He called. I opened the door and walked in. Mr. Penn was sitting at his computer. "Ah Miley. Your father said I might be expecting you today. So what can I do for you?"

"Well I just needed to check that the school knew I was going to be gone for awhile."

"Of course. I figured you would be here longer than a week though but everything will be handled just the same. We will send your school work and you will send it back when you finish."

"Thank you Mr. Penn. This will be the last time."

"Well now Miley, don't expect me to believe that. I know your Hannah schedule is probably packed." I shook my head and he looked at me confused.

"After this Friday, there will be no more Hannah. Just... Miley." I sighed as I walked out of his office.

Lunch had come a lot sooner then I thought. I hadn't really paid much attention to what was going around me. Of course there was always someone who wanted to bug me about my summer. A few were genuine, asking me the same; how was Europe? How many cute guys were there? Did you have fun?. And then there were a few that hassled me about the pictures from Lilly's party. I barely talked to any one. Though when I entered the lunch room I was joined yet again by Amber and Ashley. We were standing by the lunch line when I could feel eyes on me. I mean it was normal for people to stare at me but this time it felt different, so I turned to look. There I saw Lilly, she was staring at me but turned quickly away when I looked back. I watched as she grabbed a hamburger then put it back for a salad.

"So Miley will you do it?" Amber asked.

"Um do what?" I asked back.

"Sing at prom. We don't want those stupid rejects to do it. It's bad enough they're playing at the dance this Friday." Amber explained.

"Well I really don't know if I'll be available that night."

"Well when you do know, let us know. Come on let's go outside, it looks so nice." I followed Amber and Ashley outside to a table that was crowded by other people who had never talked to me till I got famous. "Wow looks like we're going to have two famous people here this year." I looked at Amber confused. Then I followed her gaze. There, at the table we were about to sit down at, was none other then Mikayla. I could feel my eyes grow wide with disbelief. She noticed me and smiled.

"Hey Mi, how's it going?" I glared at her before going up to her and grabbing her arm. I pulled her up and dragged her over to a move secluded area.

"What the hell are you doing here Mik?"

"Oh I'm doing just fine Mi, thanks for asking." Mikayla said sarcastically.

"Seriously Mik, are you following me or something?"

"No! I have awhile before I'm off on another tour, so I decided I needed to make new friends seeing as how my only friend turned out to be a phony."

"Oh god, Mik. When are you going to get over that?"

"Probably whenever you get over what ever it is that you're holding on to. You know I tried talking to you all summer."

"I was on tour."

"Okay, so. What you can't talk on tour?"

"I was being punished. Look I'm going to head to class. I don't want to be late."

"Can we talk after school?"

"Um not today. Maybe some other time." Mikayla nodded and I walked off. I still had a few minutes to get to class but since it was all the way up stairs I figured I should get a head start. When I reached the top of the stairs I heard the bell for class, ring. I sighed and headed off towards my class. The next thing I know I'm walking in to some one and papers are flying everywhere. The person I hit was on the floor.

"Oh my gosh! I am so sorr..." I looked down. It was Lilly. I had knocked down Lilly. "Oh Lilly... um hey." She looked up at me and then got up. Lilly began to pick up the paper that had flown out of her hand. I began to help her and handed her the last few. I kept one for my self. They looked like fliers.

"Thanks." She mumbled. It didn't look like she wanted to talk so I began to walk off. "I'M REALLY SORRY!" She shouted. I stopped mid stride then turned to look at her. "I STILL LOVE YOU!" Lilly shouted again.
