Chapter 1- School Daze

Miley Stewart took one last look in her mirror after applying her pink lip gloss to her plump lips. Today was the first day of her Junior year of High School. With a smile, Miley grabbed her favorite pair of knee-high brown leather boots and slipped them on. Miley's hair, as requested by her girlfriend, Lilly, was in loose curls. She slipped her favorite sweatshirt on – the one Lilly had given her over the summer – over her dark blue t-shirt. With her distressed skinny jeans on, she looked absolutely stunning. Miley double checked her makeup before heading downstairs.

Robbie finished making his well loved chocolate chip pancakes when Miley entered the kitchen. "Hey bud," he smiled. "Is Lilly coming by for breakfast?"

Miley plopped down at the dining table. "Yea, I think so," she replied. "What's for breakfast anyways?"

"Buttermilk pancakes with chocolate chips along with bacon and toast," he answered.

"Yes!" Miley beamed. "My favorite."

"What can I say? I know my little girl." Robbie then placed the pancakes on a plate and put them on the table with the rest of the food.

Just then, Miley's phone rang out with Lilly's ring tone; 'Amazed' by Lonestar. Miley quickly flipped her phone open with a full smile on her face. "Hey sweetie," she answered lovingly.

"Hey cutie," Lilly replied sweetly. "Meet me on your deck." With that, Lilly hung up, leaving Miley quite curious.

Excusing herself from the table, Miley stood up and made her way outside. Her smile only grew when she saw Lilly walking up the steps. Lilly was wearing skinny jeans, blue high-top Converse shoes, and a tight black Aeropostael t-shirt over a white long sleeved shirt. 'Miley likely…' "Hey, Lils." They shared a sweet smile before pressing their lips together in a quick kiss. "Why'd you want to meet me out here?"

Lilly slid her hands into the back pockets of Miley's jeans, smirking. "So I can make out with you without your Dad seeing us."

"Sounds good to me." Their smiles never faltered as they leaned in for a heated, sensual kiss. Miley let out a low growl at the feeling of Lilly sweeping her tongue over her bottom lip. Her hands slid under the back of Lilly's shirt, causing the blonde's grip on her rear to tighten. After about a couple of seconds Miley pulled back ever so slowly, finally remembering that breakfast was waiting for them. "We should probably go inside and eat before daddy comes out to get us."

"I suppose," Lilly sighed. "He'd probably kill me anyways if he saw where my hands are."

"Don't worry," Miley said while taking Lilly's hand into her own once they were out of her pockets. "Dad already knows you violate me." She smirked.

Lilly groaned, following Miley into the house. The smell of pancakes filled the house, taking away her previous worries.

"Mornin' Lilly," Robbie greeted. "Have you eaten yet? I have plenty of pancakes."

Grinning, Lilly took a seat at the table next to Miley. "I think I'll be able to help eat them." From the corner of her eye, Lilly could see Miley's smirk forming. "Not a word, Stewart," she teased.

"How'd you know I'd say something?" Miley batted her eyelashes.

"Gee, I wonder…" Lilly laced her fingers with Miley's underneath the table. "So," she started while cutting up her pancakes. "You ready for all the freshmen that will jump at you today?"

Miley's face fell. "Ah dang, I forgot about freshmen…"

"And new students," Robbie added. He smiled after getting a playful glare from his daughter. "Just sayin'…"

For the next few minutes the three of them continued eating and made small talk. Much to their disliking, it was time for the girls to head off to school. They wanted to get there a little early since it was the first day. Robbie grabbed his car keys and they all headed out.

-----

"Good luck girls. Have fun today." Robbie smiled.

"Thanks Dad. We'll see you later." Miley smiled in return. They watched as he drove off before turning their attention to the building in front of them. "This is gonna suck…" Miley sighed.

"It won't be so bad," Lilly comforted. "I'll fight them all off. I am your knight in shining armor after all." She smiled proudly.

Miley laughed, getting a glare from Lilly. "Sorry, I just thought it was funny that you actually said that." She linked her hand with the blonde's for reassurance.

"You made fun of me," Lilly pouted.

"Did not," Miley replied. They both smiled at each other, knowing they were both just kidding around, and entered the school. They hardly made it into the doorway when a group of freshmen girls squealed in excitement. Miley braced herself for what was to come.

"Oh my gosh!! It's true!" a young girl with light brown hair yelled happily. "Y-Y-You're here!"

"Er…well, yea," Miley smiled out of kindness.

One girl with blonde hair and light pink streaks in it started shaking. "C-Can we, um, have uh…autographs?" she shyly asked, feeling faint.

"Of course." This time her smile was real. As she started signing various items, she noticed one girl – black hair – was stone still. Her skin was pale and she hardly blinked. Miley smiled again. "No need to be nervous."

The young girl blushed; looking away. "I kn-know…" she stuttered softly.

"At least none of you fainted…" Miley's head turned towards Lilly with a smirk.

"You're never going to let that die, are you?" laughed Lilly.

"Nope." Miley looked back over at the small group. "Sorry to cut this short, but we need to go to the office." Waving goodbye, Lilly and Miley walked to the office, smiling as they heard the excited girls gush about Miley.

Their journey to the office consisted of more new comers and a few guys begging the girls to make out in front of them; no being their answer. Finally, they got into the office and retrieved their schedules and locker numbers. Miley was thrilled to see she and Lilly only had one class where they weren't together in. "Hmm… Do you think they did this on purpose?" she smiled.

"Who knows. I'm just glad it's the way it is." Lilly smiled back. "You just have Music when I have Gym."

"Thank God… I'm horrible at sports."

Lilly snickered; both of them standing up from the office chairs. "I say this with love… I agree."

"Hey!" whined Miley. "We beat Jackson at volleyball. I wasn't too horrible at that."

Lilly started walking faster to get a head start on escaping her girlfriend. "Yea, that one time." A shriek escaped her when Miley darted after her down the hallway.

Oliver, who was in the location of their new lockers, looked ahead when he heard two familiar laughs. His eyebrows scrunched when Lilly fled towards him; hiding behind him. Miley stopped right in front of him, panting. "What are you two doing?" he questioned.

"Hiding so she won't kill me," replied Lilly.

"I wouldn't…" Miley paused, finally noticing something different about Oliver. "Whoa! Major hair cut!"

Lilly's head shot up to look. "Holy crap…" Her eyes were wide in shock.

"You like?" Oliver grinned, running his hands through his now short hair. It added more of a rocker look to him; making him look older.

"It's awesome!" Miley ran her own hand through his hair. "What brought this on?"

"I just got sick of it being so long. So I chopped it off."

Lilly blinked. "It hasn't been short since the eighth grade. This will take some getting used to, but," she smiled, "I like it."

"Sweet… Okay, now that you guys approve of my haircut, let me see your schedules." They each gave him their slips of paper and after a little while he smiled. "Cool, a few classes with both of you, Gym with Lilly, and one alone. Not so bad."

From the corner of her eye, Lilly could see two boys glancing at them, smiling and nudging each other. She recognized them from her class. "What are you two looking at?" She glared.

When the boys realized they had been caught checking them out, their faces fell. "Uh… Nothing?"

Oliver rolled his eyes. "Get lost, Gabe, before I beat the hell out of you."

"Hey, I can't help it if your little friends are Hollywood's hottest young couple." Gabe winked at Miley before heading off in a different direction with his friend.

"I suppose we'll need to get used to that." Miley sighed.

"Probably…" Oliver scanned the hallways once more to make sure nobody else was eyeing down his friends when a girl he's never seen before caught his attention. At that moment he forgot where he was. She had medium-length dark brown, almost black, hair and was simply stunning.

Lilly eyed Oliver suspiciously. Miley was busy signing a few more autographs to notice his odd behavior, so she took matters into her own hands. "Helloooo?" she said, waving her hand in front of his face.

"What?" Oliver snapped out of his gaze. "Oh, uh sorry, Lilly. That girl over there…wow…"

"Ohh…" Lilly nudged Miley, who just finished signing autographs. "Ollie's got a crush."

"Really? On who??" Miley started looking in the direction Oliver was staring into.

"Brunette organizing her locker," he dreamily informed.

"I have a simple solution." Miley smirked. "Go talk to her."

"Yea," Lilly stepped in. "Go ask if she needs help or something."

"Or that'd be totally weird." He gave her an odd look.

"Fine, then follow my lead." Miley placed her hands onto his shoulders from behind, pushing him towards the girl he'd been drooling over.

"Miley, what are you doing??" ha panicked.

"Helping you!" she whispered. Then, she gently shoved him towards the girl and hurried back over to Lilly.

Lilly wrapped her arms around Miley's waist. "You're so evil sometimes. I like it." She smiled seductively.

"Is that so?" Miley, in return, loosely wrapped her arms around Lilly's neck.

"Mhmm…" Instead of kissing the brunette like she really wanted to do, she leaned in and buried her nose into the crook of Miley's neck.

A sudden squeal brought the two lovers back with the rest of the world. Miley turned to see the girl who she just sent Oliver over to talk to rush over towards them. "I can't believe it's actually you!" she practically yelled.

Oliver, being right behind her, looked annoyed. "Yea… It's her. Miley, this is Allison. Apparently she's a huge fan of yours."

The sound of the bell interrupted the short conversation. A hurt look spread across Miley's features when Oliver rolled his eyes and walked away. "Um… Mind if we talk during lunch?" she asked Allison.

"Sure!" she beamed. "I hope I'm in some more of your classes!"

"All right," Miley forced out a smile. "See ya, Allison."

Miley's sadness didn't go unnoticed to Lilly as they made their way to their first class of the new school year. She made a mental note to slap Oliver later.

-----

Since it was the first day of school, classes were shorter than they normally would have been. By this time it was lunch break and all the students gathered outside for a school barbeque. Miley and Lilly were bombarded with questions and remarks from several students. Suddenly, Amber and Ashley popped out of the crowd. "Please tell me you're only doing this for publicity," Amber pleaded to Miley.

"What are you talking about?" Miley questioned.

"The thing about you and Truscott!"

"I'm right here ya know," Lilly deadpanned.

"Yea, yea," Amber waved her off. "Miley, you could date anyone. Why date the biggest loser?"

Right as Miley was about to rip Amber's head off, Matt, another guy from their class, laughed. "If she was the biggest loser, then she wouldn't be listed in the tabloids as Miley Stewart's hot girlfriend."

"What?!" Amber yelled.

"Hot??" Lilly asked, scrunching her face up in confusion.

"Take a look yourself." Matt dug into his backpack, pulling out the tabloid, and handed it over to Amber. The cover had a picture of Lilly at the beach with Miley; both clad in their bikinis.

"Ew, like I wanted to see that!" Amber shoved it back at Matt.

Lilly snatched it right out of his hands. "I don't want anyone to see this." She blushed when she got a better look at the picture and read more of the cover.

"Trust me," Matt smiled. "You shouldn't be embarrassed.

"Hey," Miley snapped. "I'm right here."

"Okay," he shrugged. "You shouldn't be either."

Lilly stood up from her previous position on top of the table they were at. "Alright, everyone go eat your food. We want to eat too." Her jealous matter was noticed by Miley, along with a few other kids. Soon enough, everyone fanned out to get their food, leaving Miley and Lilly alone- as alone as they could get at least.

Miley kept her eyes on Lilly. "Somebody's getting jealous," she sang.

"You were too." Lilly shoved the tabloid into her bad. "I still can't believe I'm listed everywhere as your hot girlfriend…"

"Well, that's because you are my hot girlfriend." Miley gave her a smile, getting one in return.

"If you ask me, I say they should leave you two alone and give you your privacy," Allison spoke up out of nowhere, startling the couple.

After catching her breath, Miley looked over at the newcomer. "Thanks… At least someone thinks so."

At that moment Oliver walked by the three of them, sending a hard glare over in Miley's direction, and kept walking towards the food.

"That's it, I'll be right back," Lilly mumbled angrily. She then stomped off to straighten this whole thing out. When she approached Oliver, she grabbed his left arm and spun him around to face her. "What the hell is you problem, Oken?" she snapped.

"It doesn't matter," Oliver replied through gritted teeth.

"Obviously it does! Miley's upset. She doesn't know why you're so upset with her. I'd like to know as well." Lilly crossed her arms, waiting for a better answer.

Oliver sighed; dropping his arms to his sides. "Allison totally ignored me once I mentioned Miley. It's always about Miley and sometimes it gets kind of old."

"No, it's your attitude that gets old. I'm not putting up with this again, Oliver. It's not Miley's fault people like her music, or think she's pretty, or whatever. But it is your fault that she's bummed out right now. I suggest you talk to her and get over it!" With one last glare, she turned to go back over to her girlfriend.

Oliver's features softened when guilt settled into his gut. Sighing, he picked up a plate, got his food, sat down, and decided he would talk to Miley about this after lunch was over. Everyone would be going home then so it would give them plenty of time to themselves to talk. He was still upset, but Lilly was right- it wasn't like Miley did this on purpose…

-----

After school ended for the day, most of the students had found Miley before she had a chance to leave. It took her and Lilly nearly a half hour to escape off to Miley's house. Miley loved how much her fans loved her, but when it interfered with alone time with Lilly, it kind of got on her nerves. Once she was in the safety of her home, Miley shut and locked the doors. "Seriously," she huffed. "What part of 'we need to get going' don't people understand?"

"Relax, Miles. They just love you so much." Lilly took Miley by the hand and led her over to the couch. "We're alone now, so does that make up for it?"

Miley matched the blonde's radiant smile. "I know something else that could make up for it."

"I think I know where this is going…" Smirking, Lilly leaned in and kissed Miley with everything she had. She pushed against Miley with ease until the brunette was lying on her back and she settled herself on top of her. Lilly momentarily broke the kiss. "Let's see if we can take our minds off it all together."

"God yesss…" Miley moaned. Lilly licked and sucked on the pulse point of her neck, driving her absolutely wild. Her nails dug into the blonde's back when their hips started grinding together in a very pleasurable rhythm. The girls' moans increased when Lilly's hand crept up Miley's shirt; cupping her breast. Miley had just unbuttoned Lilly's jeans when a knock at the door interrupted their intentions. "You have got to be kidding me…"

Propping herself up with her hands, Lilly turned to see Oliver standing on the other side of the door looking quite sheepish. "It's Oliver," she breathed out. "He actually showed up."

They each got off the couch, adjusting their askew clothes. "What exactly did you say to him earlier?"

"Pretty much told him to stop acting like a baby and talk to you." Lilly stepped closer to the gorgeous brunette. "I'll let you two be. I'll be upstairs warming up for you," she said with a wink.

A high pitched squeak was Miley's only response. Her gaze followed Lilly as she made her way to the stairs and slowly walked up to Miley's bedroom. Another knock brought her back from erotic thoughts. She quickly made her way to the door, unlocked it, and opened it for him. "Hi, Oliver…" she greeted uncertainly.

"Hey…" He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly. "Mind if I, um… come in?"

"Sure…" Miley closed the door after he came in and then sat down on the couch next to him.

Oliver clasped his hands together. "Look, um… I wanted to apologize for earlier."

"Okay," she nodded. "I just don't understand what I did wrong…"

"You didn't do anything wrong… I was just being stupid. It's just, I thought maybe I had a chance at asking Allison to hang out or something, but then I brought up the fact that you were my friend and I turned invisible."

"I'm sorry, Oliver…" Miley's eyes softened. "I'm sure she'll get over it soon and realize what a great guy you are."

"Yea, well what if she doesn't? She looks like a really cool girl. I really want to get to know her." He looked down, sadly, at his hands.

"It'll happen," she assured. "I could help too. I'll tell her how great you are and stuff; talk you up."

"She's probably not interested anyways. It wouldn't be the first time a girl I really liked didn't like me back…" His voice was heavy with hurt, which made Miley feel horrible.

"Oliver…"

He quickly stood up. "It's fine, Miley. I'll just…see you later, okay?" His eyes were pleading her to let this go.

Miley just nodded her head, watching her male best friend walk out the door. She leaned back against the couch, closing her eyes as a sigh escaped her.

"Miley!" Lilly called from the bedroom. "I need your help with something…" she continued suggestively.

Just from the tone of Lilly's voice, Miley momentarily forgot about what Oliver just said. While rushing upstairs though, she decided that the next day at school she would help Oliver get the girl. But right now she needed her girl. Badly. Miley opened her door, smiling. "Somebody call saying they needed some help?"

"Mhmm, soooo much…" Lilly waved Miley over with her pointer finger, giving her a look she knew drove Miley wild. Miley crawled her way on top of her and without saying anything else, they kissed each other deeply. They had the whole house to themselves for a few hours and they were definitely going to make the most of it.

TA-DA! So, this is of course a set up chapter. Hope you liked it. Hopefully it wasn't too rushed, but with first day of school stuff there's not a while lot to write about. I just wanted to get the Oliver issue in there now, cos it will definately keep showing up ;) I know there was one reviewer of the last story that was not pleased that Oliver never found anyone, but I was waiting for that to happen for this story. So I hope this will be more to your liking. Thanks again for reading, can't wait to see who all reviews. Hopefully I'll see a lot of people who read the last one :) I will try very hard to update this as soon as I can. With school and my other story going on, it may take a lil while, but I will try. Once again, thank you!
