Chapter 5

Miley left the room again. And Lilly whispered, "Yes! It's working. She totally thinks we hate each other!"

I know. Lilly you're genius!" Just then Oliver left the room. Miley walked in. Then she asked, "What's with you and Oliver? Last night you guys were practically inseparable and now you hate each other."

"Well he got all offended because I told him that the idea of dating him is disgusting and that kissing him was a nightmare. It's not because he wants me to like him or anything. He just got sensitive." lied Lilly

"Oh wow. Well Lilly did you ever think that maybe you were a little too harsh?"

"Helloooo. Miley. Whose side are you on anyway? Wait a minute. I see. You like him!"

"What! Lilly, that's ridiculous."

"Miley. I know you. I can tell when you like someone. You were totally obvious last night."

"Okay I confess. I think I love him. He's so cute and sensitive. He's funny and caring." Lilly inwardly cringed at this. Oliver was her guy.

"Wow Miley. I knew it! It's totally cute! I mean if you like that type of guy." Lily pretended to be happy for her friend. That's right. All a part of the plan.

"Lilly I wish I could tell him. But I don't want to embarrass myself. And it's awkward being that he's my friend and all."

"Well Miley regardless of my attitude towards him right now, I really think you should talk to him and um say how you really feel. I mean, you're friends and all. But that can also hold you back to. Think about it. Two friends? Best friends at that. It seems a little awkward to me. But I mean…if you're cool with doing that then…

"Wow Lilly. You really freaked me out just now."

"No Miles. Don't let me hinder you. You do you!"

"Mkay. Oh and Lilly thanks for being so supportive. I thought you would've totally flipped on me."

"It's okay Miley. What are friends for?

Miley smiled and Lilly left the room to go find Oliver. He was on his way to the beach. Once again. Part of the plan. So Lilly informed Miley that she needed to be alone for a little and she would be on the beach. She walked about ten minutes and found Oliver under a tree. Oh he looked so cute far away and up close and when he was pretending to be angry with her. Lilly just hoped he'd never get mad at her like that in real life. It would kill her. Finally Lilly reached the tree and Oliver acknowledged her.

"Hey, cutie. So how'd things go with Operation Confession?"

Well she certainly confessed. And everything we heard her say in the bathroom this morning. It's so true. She's mad about you, Oliver. But so am I. I mean whenever she said she loved and adored you I wanted to beat her down.

"Wow. She'd be so surprised to hear that. Even I was."

"Yeah I guess so. Well I told her to talk to you about it. So when she does, you are going to let her down easy and that way, the message is clear and no one gets hurt too badly."

"Right. Then that concludes our short and sweet Operation Confession. But what if it doesn't work. What if she breaks down in tears. I couldn't handle that. Or what if she's one of those persistent ones and she pursues me? What would I do then?"

"Looks like it's time for a plan B. If she breaks down then we need to be honest and tell her the truth about us. She'll be mad that we didn't tell her sooner and let her think it was okay to have you. But then we will just explain that we did it to spare her feelings. She should understand after that. And if she pursues you, we will still tell her the truth. Either way she'll back off. She might be mad but she'll back off. And she will eventually get used to seeing us together and we'll be back to normal."

"You and your genius plans, baby." Said Oliver, wrapping his arms around Lilly's waist, and indulging in a passionate kiss. Little did the new couple know, that someone was watching them and that someone was livid.
