Miley and Jeannie both entered the compartment in the way back of the train and were greeted with squeals, giggles, and compliments.
"Oh Miley, I love you're hair!"
"Hey girls!"
"You both are looking fabulous!"
"Love the new hairdo Miles!"
Miley grinned from ear to ear, she loved all of the attention and Jeannie happily clicked her gum. The compartment was pretty cramped. It had seemed so much bigger when they were younger.
On one side there was a Hufflepuff boy named Colby Custer, who was chatting with a Slytherin girl, named Audrey Cox. The two students both had dark skin, dark black hair, and brown eyes. Audrey didn't seem to be interested in what Colby was saying and was filing her nails. She would occasionally tuck her side swept bangs, which happened to be dyed a dark red, behind her ears. Audrey had on a lot of dark and heavy makeup. Her green and silver colored uniform was also a bit short but it appeared that she had done it on purpose. Her skirt was very short and her button down shirt was unbuttoned so that some of her black bra was showing. On her feet were black ankle socks and black vans.
Two more people occupied that side and they were whispering animatedly to one another. One girl was Zac's girlfriend, Kari. The other was a girl in a Hufflepuff uniform whose name was Tessa Ramirez. Tessa had big brown eyes, tan skin, and brown hair, which was styled into a perfect bob.
The other side of the compartment contained another boy whom was wearing a Hufflepuff uniform.
"Hey Corbin." Jeannie said as her and Miley took a seat next to him. Corbin Mendoza had neat, shaggy red hair and small brown eyes. Corbin and Colby were just as snotty and evil as the rest of the crew, which is why they were in it. Most of the girls in the crew had dated Corbin and Colby, which had caused a big mess, but now everyone was single, except for Kari.
"Hey ladies." Corbin replied and then joined Kari and Tessa's whispering.
"How was your summer beautiful?" Audrey said to Miley, cutting off Colby and not caring in the least.
"It was like visiting hell as usual." Miley replied, "Thank God Jeannie lives close to me."
"Well you're away from the devil and here with your angels now." Audrey made a pretend halo with her hands and put it above her head. All three girls and Colby burst out laughing.
Kari then got up from whispering with Tessa and made her way for the door.
"Where are you going?" Miley asked, rather rudely.
"I was going to go visit with Zac."
"Oh, I promised Cole I'd come see him, so I'll go with you." Miley quickly got up and walked out of the compartment with Kari.
"Miles saw Cole before you guys came in here? What did he say?" Audrey asked Jeannie, and everyone remaining in the compartment looked at Jeannie.
"Miley decided it was time for her to make a move and asked if she could see him in his compartment later and he said yes." Jeannie stated, "But that stupid Wendy girl is always around him. Miley wants her gone."
"Whatever Miles wants, she gets." Audrey smirked, "Now everybody listen, I have an idea."
"Hey sweetie." Zac said as Kari entered the compartment, followed by Miley. Kari sat down next to Zac, who immediately put his arm around her and gave her a peck on the lips. On the other side of Zac sat Cole and across from him was Wendy.
Miley sat on the other side of Cole because there was no way she was going to sit next to Wendy.
"Hey Cole." Miley said and wrapped her arm around his. Cole looked at Zac who then winked at him. Wendy bit her tongue and looked back down at the book in her hands.
"I missed you during the summer." Miley said as she began stroking his arm.
"Really?" Cole replied, his cheeks turning a like shade of pink.
"Mmhmm," Miley replied as she rested her head on his shoulder and smiled at Wendy who had looked up from her book. "What are you reading?"
Wendy shut her book and glared at Miley, "It's getting a bit crowded in here." She said calmly, "I'm going to go take a walk." And with that she left.
Once she was out in the hallway she sighed. Where was she going to go? She didn't have any other friends besides Zac and Cole.
"Wendy?" Someone called behind her and she spun around. It was Colby.
"Um, hi Colby." She said, wondering why on earth he wanted to talk to her.
"You look great!" He said and gave her a wink. "I'll see you around OK?"
"Uhm, yeah, yes, yes." Wendy stumbled on all of her words. Had a boy just said she looked 'great'? Colby was one of the most popular boys in school! She found an empty compartment not to far from Zac and Cole and decided to read her book in there.
"Dude, she couldn't even talk!" Colby replayed the whole incident with Wendy to the crew.
"That wasn't the plan!" Audrey hissed.
"But it was so perfect! Think about it, if I pretend to be her boyfriend I can make her go anywhere and do anything! And she won't want to hang around with Cole anymore."
"You're a genius!" Jeannie said after popping her gum. "Miley is going to be so happy."
"So, I think I should ask you now, before anyone else does…" Miley started, "I was wondering if you'd like to escort me to the Halloween dance?"
"I have to be honest Miley, I never thought you liked me that way." Cole said.
"Are you kidding me? I've had a crush on you for the longest time!" Miley found Cole's hand and held it. "So what do you say?"
"I've liked you for the longest time!" He replied, "It's a yes!" Cole couldn't believe that the most popular and attractive girl in school liked him!
