Chapter 12

The New Kid

The first thing he needed to do was to find out what her schedule was. So he got up early on Monday and drove to my sweet's house. The lights were off. Good. So now all he had to do was wait. He recheck the camera and the DVD camera. Both had full charges.

----------

The alarm went off and she reached over and turn it off. She got up and went to take a shower. After she was finished, she left the bathroom and got dress for school. Clothes on, hair combed, teeth brushed, backpack, phone, helmet, pads, and board, time to go. She headed down stairs.

"Mom, I'm going over to Miles for breakfast."

"Tell everyone I said hi, and where is my kiss."

Lilly went over to kiss her mom.

"Love you mom."

"Love you too."

Lilly went out the door, dropped her board, hopped on and headed off to Miley's house. She didn't see the car down the road or the fact that someone was taking pictures.

----------

There was my sweet. I didn't know she skateboarded. It didn't say anything about it in any of the information he read. He had to start the car to follow her. He watched her do tricks on the curb as she was going somewhere. Four minutes later, she took what looked to be a phone and called someone. Five minutes later, the door to the third house open and she skated in. He stopped the car and started taking pictures of the third house as he thought of it.

----------

The phone rang. Miley, who was just passing the phone answered it.

"Hi"

"Lilly in twenty!"

"Lilly in eighteen." Miley announced. Miley ran to the door and open it to let Lilly in. Lilly skated in five seconds later. From there, the 'Lilly for breakfast' routine settle in. When they had finished breakfast, they start for the meeting corner.

----------

Twenty minutes later, my sweet and the brown hair girl came out of the house. This time he filmed them. They were to busy talking to each other to notice the car. When they had gone around the corner, he started the car and started to follow. He knew he as going to have to park the car and soon or they might spot him. But right now, he was thinking. First she got her girl friend. So maybe, they are going to get the boy friend. They were heading in that general direction. But when they got to the corner were they needed to turn, they stopped. They were just standing there. What are they doing? Then he saw the boy coming down the sidewalk. This would be a good time to get out of the car. But he waited. When the boy got to the corner, he took more pictures. He let them get a block ahead before he got out of the car. Then he went to the other side of the road and start to follow the trio.

----------

Our three friends started off for school after Oliver met them at the meeting corner. They were busy talking about school and what they knew would be facing them there today. The only homework they had gotten done this weekend was none. They were hoping it wouldn't come back to bite them today.

"What if you say something to Mr. Aaron Miley?" Oliver tried to sound confident.

"How many times do I have to tell you Oliver, Mr. Aaron will never let me use Hannah as an excuse for not getting my homework done."

"Yeah, but I just…HUFF! What was that for Lilly."

"Drop it Oliver." She made a small movement of her head to Miley and gave Oliver a look. The rest of the walk to school was a quiet one.

----------

He stopped about a block away from the school and watched as they walked in. He checked his watch. He would have to come back after lunch to find out what time they got out of school. With that, he turned around and walked back to his car.

----------

Mr. Aaron was waiting for our trio by the door they used when they came to school. It went without saying that he was relieved when he spotted them walking up to the door. After they came through the door, Mr. Aaron turn to head back to his office and Frank West. Mr. Aaron had come in early so he could work Frank into the school computer and give him every class that Miley had. Luck was even on their side, there just happen to be an open locker four down from Miley's. Roxi was right about Frank when he met him. He did have a very boyish face. This should work. Mr. Aaron walked into his office and closed the door.

"Okay Frank, Miley and her friends Oliver and Lilly are here. Just remember, Oliver and Lilly are the only students that know she is Hannah Montana. The only teacher that knows is Miss. Mayer the choir teacher."

"No one else knows?"

"No. And trust me, I keep a very close eye on that too."

"Well right, guess I'll go and become a student again."

"Good luck."

"Thanks."

----------

Miley and Lilly were hanging out at Miley's locker. They were waiting for Oliver to go to homeroom. Miley had her back to Frank as he walked up to his locker with his arms full of textbooks and note books.

"…and then I told my mom…mom…mom…"

"Lilly! What's wrong with you?" Miley pushed her shoulder.

Lilly grabbed Miley by the shoulders and spun her around. Miley's jaw dropped. There was the cutest boy she had ever seen.

"Hi guys what's up?" Oliver asked. "Ah…guys?" Oliver stepped in front of them breaking their line of vision.

"OLIVER!" Miley and Lilly pushed him out of the way. Oliver followed their stare.

"Not another new kid!"

"Not just another new kid." Lilly started.

"A gorgeous new kid." Miley finished. Oliver just shook his head and grabbed them both by the arms.

"We have to get to homeroom." And he tore them away. After a few steps, the girls started to walk on their own and he let go of their arms.

----------

They walked into the classroom and took their seats. They were just getting settled in for the short ten minute class that they had at the start and end of the day when Amber and Ashley lost it. Miley, Lilly and Oliver turned to see what the commotion was about. Frank had walked into the room was going up to the teacher with his note from the office. What the students didn't see was what the note said.

"Class, this is Frank West. Frank you can take the seat by Miley. Miley, raise your hand." Miley quickly raised her hand. Frank start for the seat.

"Miley, it appears Frank has all the same classes you have, so could you show him around?"

"Yes." Miley looked like she won the Power Ball lottery. Amber and Ashley stared daggers at her. The bell rang and Miley turned to introduce herself to Frank.

"Hi I'm Miley and this is Lilly and Oliver."

"Hi. So what's it like here."

"About the same as any other school."

"Where you from?" Oliver asked.

"I was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. But my dad moves around a lot."

"What does he do?" Lilly asked.

"He's a computer consultant. He helps design and build systems."

"WOW!"

"I see your locker is by mine." Miley noted.

"That's great. It will make founding my classes easier. Well I'll have to do is follow you around like a lost puppy."

Miley blushed a little at that and smiled. Oliver just rolled his eyes and looked at Lilly who was eating it all up.

"Come on Lilly, we have to get to class. She you in English Miley."

Oliver went off to his next class.

"Lilly, don't you have science now?"

"What? Oh, yeah. See you in English then." And Lilly left for class too.

"Well, lets go to math. It's not really one of my better subjects. I have to work at it to get good grades." Miley explained.

"I'm pretty good at math. Maybe I can help you?"

"I like that. I mean if its not to much of a hassle for you." Miley looked away a bit. They got to class and Miley took her seat. Frank was given a seat by Amber who had class with Miley too. Amber wasted no time in hitting on Frank and trying to 'take' Frank away from Miley.

----------

At lunch time, Frank sat with our trio.

"Not the best food around, but it is normal for here." Oliver commented to Frank about the school food.

"Trust me when I say I have had worse. A lot worse." If you kids only knew. He thought about the time he was behind enemy lines in Iraq.

"Well, it's not much but it will get you through the day." Lilly added.

"What did you do at the other school?" Miley asked.

"Not much. I was in a few clubs, but other then that, nothing."

"Oooo, what type of clubs?" Lilly asked.

"Chess, skiing, yearbook. Nothing to write home about."

"Hi Frank, if you want, you could come and sit with us." Amber said as her and Ashley walked up to the table.

"Yeah, we could introduce you to more people than they could." Ashley added. Boy! Was school really this bad? Or did he just forget about the bad times?

"No, thanks. Since all my classes are with Miley, I think I'll get to know her friends first." Frank said with a 'I dare you to say anything else' look.

Amber and Ashley took the hint and left without saying anything.

"Wow, that was so cool!" Lilly said with admiration in her voice.

"By the way, what are we doing after school?" Oliver asked.

"I thought we were going to my house to do homework and hang at the beach afterwards." Miley said.

"Yep, that was the plan. After all Oliver, IT WAS your idea." Lilly said.

"Frank would you like to join us?" Miley asked not quiet looking at him.

"I don't know, I have to ask my wi…mom first." That was close. I almost said wife.

"Well do you have a phone?" Lilly asked. "Because if you don't, you can use one of yours. Although you'll have to wait until after school to call."

"Yeah, the school as a no phone rule during school hours." Miley explained.

"Well, what would it hurt to ask?" Frank answered. The warning bell for the end of lunch sounded and everyone went back to their lockers and went to choir.

The rest of the day went by with no more Amber and Ashley run ins. They all met at Miley's locker and went out side. Once outside, Frank called his "mom" to get permission to go to Miley's house to work on homework. Frank's wife was just rolling on the floor with laughter at having to get her permission to go do homework at Miley's house. He made a mental note to get even with her and followed our trio to Miley's house.

----------

He got back to the school by two o'clock. There he waited. At three-thirty, school let out. He got the camera ready. He waited about ten minutes before he spotted them coming out. He snapped off some more pictures and then get the DVD camera and shot some more footage. There was four of them now. It didn't matter. He had pictures and video. But most of all he had time. He started the car before they got to him and drove off.
