"Lily, you've got to totally dump Nick."
"Oliver. What are you talking about? Lily was just telling me about how great her date was going. What's wrong with you?" Miley asked.
"I.. I can't breathe. But I heard Nick talking. He said he was going out with you to get Miley. I don't know the details, but he told me to keep you warmed up for him, just in case he'd want to get back together with you. Like a back up."
"What a total loser!" Lily said standing up, "I'm gonna go to his face and tell him off like Lily Truscott has never done before to a hot boy!"
I pushed her back down, "Wait, Lily. I think we need to teach this guy a lesson. Miley will go out with him, and then dump him in front of everybody."
"Good idea. Great idea! I love it!" said Miley.
"Me too!" Lily chimed in.
"There he goes. Come on, Lily. Let's hide," I said before dragging Lily to the bush.
"Hey Miley."
"Hey Nick!"
"I was wondering if you'd like to go out with me tonight."
"Of course, I would. Pick me up at 7?"
"Perfect!" I held my breath as he leaned in to kiss her.
"Oops. Bell! Gotta run!"
"Wait! I didn't hear a bell!"
"Gotta get those ears checked! See you tonight!" Phew. Thank god for Miley.

Miley's POV.
"Hey Nick. Right on time!"
"Didn't want to waste time being late. Come on! I've got the perfect spot"
-------
"Wow, Nick. It was a good idea to get take out and eat it on the beach. This is great!" I said while stuffing my face with a burger.
"Would you mind if I kissed you?"
"Um. Yes."
"How about on the cheek?"
"Uh. Okay, I guess." I turned my head slightly.
"Wait, can we switch spots. Please? It's kind of this phobia of mine."
"Oh. Okay. Whatever." We switched spots and I turned my head again. Only to catch a horrible view, "Oh my god! Is that Oliver over there with Amber?" I stood up and marched to them, "Is this your game, Oliver? Were you sick of me? Was this your plan? Got me to go out with Nick tonight, so you can go out with her?"
"MILEY! This isn't what you think! Amber dragged me her. I had no idea this was going to happen!"
"Oliver. We're over!"
Nick put his arm around Miley, "I was going to tell you, but I didn't know how. I knew Oliver and you were so close. You wouldn't have believed me."
"No, I wouldn't have. I'm glad I found out this way. Nick, walk me home"
------
"Daddy! I'm going to the beach! I need to.. sort stuff.. think about.. I need to swim!"
--------
Why would Oliver do this? Did he want to get rid of me and he had no way how? Maybe I was too clingy? Or maybe not clingy enough? But I was just trying not to act so much like we were going out so that Lily wouldn't feel left out. Did he feel like he wasn't important? Because he is! He means so much to me. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost hi--
"Miley?"
