Loving Hannah, Not Miley
Chapter 16: I Can't Believe We Survived
Miley's POV"I can't believe it's the last day of school!" Lilly exclaimed.
"I know! I'm going to be a senior! It will be my last year of school, and then off to college!" Sasha said back in excitement.
To be honest, I wasn't very excited; I was still thinking about Oliver and being over. I had to stop thinking about it, it mad me sad and there is nothing to do about getting together with him again so there's no point me standing here and feeling sorry for myself. On the Brightside, Oliver and me are friends again.
"Oh come on Miley! Get excited! We know why your not happy and you just need to forget about it." Lilly told me.
"I know, I know." I responded.
"Miley, cheer up! We made it through 9th grade – I really don't know how – after today it will be the holidays, then Christmas will be soon, then New Years. We'll have a New Years party! And we can do a whole lot of exciting things during the holidays!" Lilly tried to make me happy.
"Yeah, and you need to be happy tonight, it the end of year "I can't believe we survived" party tonight!"
"I'll make sure I'll cheer up! All my friends will be there so I know I'll be happy."
"Good." Sasha and Lilly said in unison.
"But…is Summer going to be there?"
"Unfortunately."
"Any other people I hate?" I asked curiously.
"I don't think so. There will be us guys of course, Oliver, Jackson, Dean, Ashlea, Jordan, Summer – gag -, Chase, Becca, Steph and Emily!" Lilly replied grinning.
"Cool."
The bell rung and we walked to class.
It was still kind of awkward between Lilly and Sasha, we all noticed it, same with Oliver and me, but I'm sure it won't be for long…hopefully.
Lilly, Oliver and me arrived to history class and sat down beside Becca, Steph and Emily.
Summer was sitting over with Amber and Ashley most likely plotting a plan, but none of cared at all – she was leaving today! Yay! The only one of us that wasn't excited about that was Chase which was – obviously – because he'll still be living with her.
The teacher started rambling on about who knows what, I think some ancient Greece thing.
Why are we doing work on the last day of school?
None of us were listening anyway we were just passing notes to each other about Sasha's end of year party tonight.
Summer started talking a bit louder and I was able to hear her a bit, seeing she was only a couple of rows back.
"Sasha is having a party tonight."
I heard her saying.
"I'm going to it."
Unfortunately.
"It's my last day here."
Thank god!
"That I got to do one last thing before I go."
What is she planning to do?!
They started talking quieter so I could only here a few words.
"Gonna gatecrash." … "Wreck their last day."
My eyes widened. What are they going to do?
I jumped up out of my seat and turned to Summer.
"Your gonna do what now?!"
"Sit down Miley!"
I realized everyone was staring at me wondering what I was talking about and the three of them started smirking.
I gave them the evil eye and sat back down.
"Stewart, what are you doing?" Ms. Kunkle asked.
"Uhh…nothing?"
She rolled her eyes, "what I was saying is that…" was what I heard and then started to go into a daydream.
"Miley what was that about?" Oliver whispered to me.
"I think those 2," I pointed to Amber and Ashley, "are going to gatecrash the party tonight and I think them and Summer are going to make some evil scheme to wreck the party." I responded just as quiet.
"Oh damn, I thought all the madness was over, I guess not."
Lilly's POV
I sat on my chair, swinging back and forth like usual. I was super bored, but when am I not in history class?
There was a knock at the door and the principal walked in. I wonder why he's here this time.
"Could I see Lilly Truscott?" Me?
I got up out of my seat and glanced at my friends.
"What's this about?" Miley mouthed to me and I just shrugged.
I walked out of the room followed by the principal.
"I heard about the incident that happened with Sasha Collins."
I looked at him confused.
"The prank you played on her, remember?"
That was ages ago.
"Uhh…what about it?"
"Detention after school today till 4:30."
It's the last day of school! And I have to help with setting up the party tonight!
"Say what?"
"That you have det-"
"No I heard what you said but it's the last day of school, how do I get to detention? And I have something on tonight."
"Well your just going to have to miss that."
More like miss detention! This principal is really strict!
"But what about Summer, it was mainly her who did it!"
"She doesn't officially go to this school so I can't give her a detention."
I rolled my eyes.
Yeah right! You just want to blame everything on me!
"Uh-huh. Yep." I replied sarcastically. "You do realize this happened ages ago? Why didn't you do anything about it before? You just want to give me a detention on the last day, don't you?"
He ignored what I said. "Now don't forget it."
He then walked off and I walked back into the classroom and sat down.
"What was that about?" Steph whispered to me.
"I got detention." I whispered back.
"Why?" Emily asked.
"That whole "getting Sasha back" thing."
"Wasn't that ages ago?" Becca added in.
"Yep." I answered. "We have a really strict principal or he just hates me."
"I say he hates you." Oliver said.
"Thanks." I said sarcastically.
"Just telling you what I think, that is how he acts."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chase's POV
"What happened about detention?" I asked Lilly.
"Didn't go. Did you expect me to on the last day of school?" Lilly said. "I don't think so!"
"That principal hates you." I told her.
"Gee, thanks." She replied. "Oh by the way, Amber and Ashley are planning to crash the end of year party tonight and Summer's planning to ruin it."
"Great." I responded sarcastically.
I thought for a second and then remembered something. It was like a light bulb popped up over top of my head.
I jumped onto the computer and logged on.
"What are you doing?"
"You'll see."
I got into my emails and clicked 'compose'. I got the picture of Summer and pasted it into the email and started to write the email I was going to send yesterday.
I finished the email and Lilly started to read it.
She laughed. "What's with the picture?"
"Don't ask."
I put in the email addresses and then called out to Summer.
"Hey Sum, can you come down here?"
She walked downstairs. "What was important enough to disturb me while I was thing of a plan…about something…to do with someone…people."
Lilly glanced at me and smirked and then looked back at Summer.
"Yeah, about that…" Lilly said.
"Come over here." I told her and she walked over, looking at the computer screen.
"The emails back up."
"You did what now?!" She screeched.
Lilly and me laughed.
"This is not funny!" Summer shouted.
"Yes it is." Lilly replied.
"What's it about this time?" She asked madly.
"Well…" I started.
"We know about your plans. We know that you got Amber and Ashley to gatecrash the party and the three of you are going to try and ruin it." Lilly continued.
"You will make sure Amber and Ashley don't come to the party, and you will not ruin the party. You will either not go to the party or you will come and do nothing. You will talk to no one, not say anything at all, you will just be quiet and stand in the corner."
She looked at me weirdly. "Why would I bother to come to the party if that's all I get to do. Nothing."
"Because we don't want you there." Lilly told Summer. "Break the rules and this email will be sent to your whole class back in Florida."
Summer shuddered at the thought of it. "Fine."
"Good." Lilly and me said in unison.
Summer walked back upstairs. She stopped and glared at us and continued her way up.
I walked back over to the computer and saved the email and then logged off.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miley's POV
Not everyone going to the party came to Sasha's early to set up, just a few of us. It was Sasha (well she was already here but of course she was going to help set up – it's at her house), Lilly, Oliver, Jackson, Dean and me.
I looked over at what Sasha was doing.
I laughed. It was a banner saying, "I can't believe we survived!" in capitals.
Lilly, Jackson and Dean were burning CDs with bunches of upbeat house songs. Sasha put up the sign and then her, Oliver and me started putting up streamers.
We were having the party in her garage (Sasha's parents moved the cars), which was really big and we all were a bit tired from taking at all the stuff.
Soon there were streamers that were our school colours all around each wall.
I grabbed out some photos that Sasha had from this year. I sat down and flicked through them. There were photos of Lilly, Oliver and me, photos of Sasha and Jackson when they were dating, photos of Lilly and Jackson. I stopped when I got to one of the photos. It was the photograph of Oliver and Hannah just before our first date that Lilly took.
I remember that date. It was really fun.
I continued flicking through them. A photo of Becca, Steph and Emily, a photo of every single one of us and many more.
I grabbed some blue-tack and started sticking up the photos.
About half an hour later the garage looked awesome. The were streamers stuck up all around the room, photos from this year stuck up all around the room as well, some helium and some not balloons floating around in the room, the awesome banner Sasha made. There was also a jukebox that we hired, a few strobe lights and a disco ball, which looked awesome.
I grabbed one of the helium balloons and undid it; I sucked in the air from it and started to speak.
The others started to laugh when they heard my squeaky voice.
Lilly got a thin paintbrush and dipped it in the red. She pulled it out and started to paint stripes on her face.
"What are you doing?" Sasha asked.
Lilly grinned. "What do you think?" And she flicked that paintbrush at Sasha.
"Lilly!" She shouted when she got red paint all over her.
We were all in a hyper mood which made it was a good time to have party. It was 8:00 and the party started at 8:30.
All six of us ended up running around flicking paint at each other. After about 5 minutes I already had blue, red and yellow paint in my hair, red and blue paint on my top and green and yellow all down my shorts and legs.
We realized we hadn't had anything to eat so we ordered some pizza and walked inside Sasha's house. We sat down eating and chatting, not caring we were staining the carpet with the paint.
Just before the party started I walked over to Lilly and Oliver and pulled out two presents.
"Here, I got you guys Christmas/End of year presents." I handed them over to Lilly and Oliver.
"Thanks!" They both replied and opened them
Lilly pulled out two wigs. One purple and the other blue.
"Uhh, thanks?"
Oliver got out a black wig and a blonde wig.
They looked at me strangely and then put on a fake smile. "Great…"
"Is there something wrong with my hair?" Lilly asked.
I laughed, "There is nothing wrong with either of you guys' hair. I thought I've got another identity so you guys can to for when you're out with Hannah."
"Oh, I get it!" Oliver exclaimed.
"Hmm…" Lilly said, thinking. "I will be Lola…Lola Luftnagle, actually no, Lola Lafonda."
"Rightio, then."
"And I am Oscar Owen, but known as Double O."
I grinned. "Hannah, Lola and Oscar!"
"Double O." Oliver corrected me.
"Right. Double O."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was 8:30 and everyone started to arrive. And if you were wondering, yes Summer did come.
The music was blasting, people were dancing, some looking at the photos and others playing volleyball with the balloons.
I walked over to Summer, "You're not standing in the corner."
Lilly and Chase told me all about the email and everything.
I breathed in and out a couple of times, glaring at me, trying not to go and do something stupid. Summer really didn't want that email sent, especially when it was going to be sent to Michael, and her arch nemesis.
At the moment one of the CDs Lilly, Jackson and Dean made was on.
Lilly walked over. "Wow! I don't think she's done anything yet." Lilly said to me talking about Summer.
"Yeah, but I'm sure there will be something that she'll do which will make us have to send that email."
Summer continued looking at us madly.
"Like not standing in the corner." I said. "March over there."
Summer rolled her eyes and walked off, but didn't go to the corner.
"Tsk, tsk. We might just have to send the email because of that." Lilly told me.
"Let's dance!" I heard Jackson shout over the music.
"Later!" Lilly yelled and ran over to Jackson.
I saw Summer talking on the phone. I pulled it off her,
"No talking." I reminded her.
It was so fun to make Summer mad! I put the phone to my ear. It was Amber and Ashley.
"Your such a wuss!" Amber yelled. "You couldn't do this one little thing."
"Yeah, and it was your idea!" Ashley yelled.
Jordan and Ashlea walked over.
"Who are you talking to?" Jordan asked.
I put the phone to her ear. She started to laugh and handed it over to Ashlea. Soon she was laughing too.
Jordan and Ashlea knew about the whole "Summer" thing as well, actually I think everyone here did.
Jordan pulled the phone off Ashlea.
"Listen here, Amber and Ashlea, It's Jordan her!" Jordan yelled into the phone. "Summer couldn't come to the phone, she has to stand in a corner and be quiet and alone!" I pulled the phone off Jordan.
"Actually, Summer wanted to! It's her idea of fun!" Then Ashlea took it off me.
"Summer is such a goody, goody two shoes! Except for this one photo she took…"
We all laughed and hung up the phone.
The three of us turned around seeing Summer watching us angrily, grinding her teeth together.
"Hey Miley?" Oliver walked up to me.
"Yeah?"
"Wanna dance?" He asked.
"Do I even need to answer?" I replied and grinned at Jordan and Ashlea.
We started to dance and I noticed Summer standing in the corner and started to laugh in my mind.
Lilly saw us dancing and she grinned evily.
Oh no! What is she going to do?
I watched her searching through the songs on the jukebox. Soon the song we were dancing to stopped.
Thanks Lilly, not!
Another song started to play, but this time it was a slow song.
Oliver and me looked at each other awkwardly.
I started to walk away when I Oliver grabbed my hand and pulled me back over to him.
No one was dancing anymore they were just watching the two of us.
He started to dance slowly still holding onto me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he had his arms around my waist.
Everyone was still watching us, which was a bit nerve-wracking, but as we continued to dance all I could see was the two of us and all I could hear was the music.
And then I noticed Oliver do something.
He started to lean into me and in less than a second I realized our lips were touching. We were kissing!
When we broke apart Oliver was grinning. I smiled and rested my head on his shoulder.

Dear Diary,
Yesterday night was so fun! Oliver and me got back together! It was the best party I've been to in ages! And Summer has finally left so no more dealing with her. The only downside was Jordan and Ashlea have left. It was a really fun week with them. And Chase has left he was really cool. So everything is back to normal, everyone is friends again; the year has ended up perfectly. Hopefully it will stay like that, but who knows what will end up happening, it might all change, but I won't think of that. Everything may change in the future but I'll just take it as it comes.
Love Miley
