Chapter 11

Ring! Ring! The Stewart's phone was ringing.

"Hello?" Jackson said. "Yes she's right here. MILEY!" Jackson said calling to her. "It's your boyfriend!"

"Is it Jake?" Miley said sticking her head out from behind the wall.

"No some kid named Danny." Jackson replied.

Miley's face sank.

"So Danny how long have you been dating my sister?" Jackson said into the phone trying to annoy Miley.

"Jackson gimmie the phone!" Miley screeched as she grabbed the phone from Jackson. "Hello Miley Stewart here." Miley said calmly into the phone.

"Hey Miley its Danny...from your Spanish class." Danny said.

"Hey Danny you need the Spanish homework...I have it right here." Miley said grabbing her book.

"Well actually I called to see if you wanted to go to the dance...with me." Danny said nervously.

"Yeah sure that sounds great!" Miley said happily.

"Great" He sighed. "I'll pick you up around 7 okay?" He asked.

"Okay." She replied. "Uh...bye." Miley said into the phone.

"Bye." Danny said sounding relived.

Miley hung up the phone and flopped herself on her bed. I go at date for the dance. She thought for herself. I moved on.

Miley placed her books down on her desk in Spanish class. Jake was also in this class but so was Danny. She gave a shy wave to Danny as she sat down. He smiled back. Jake looked confused.

"Hey pumpkin." Alexa said to Jake as she gave him a peck on the lips and sat down in her seat.

"Pumpkin?" Jake said.

"Yes it's your pet name, all the latest couples have one." Alexa said flattering herself because she knew all the latest trends.

Miley never gave me a stupid pet name. Jake thought to himself. He slumped back in his chair and took out a sheet of paper. He glanced over at Miley who was laughing and fooling around with Danny. He pulled over Kyle to ask what was going on.

"Hey Kyle." Whispered Jake.

"Yeah?" Kyle replied.

"What's the deal with Miley and Danny?" Jake asked.

"He asked her to the dance last night, why? Do you still have feelings for her dude?" Kyle asked raising his eyebrow.

"No dude, no." Jake said slumping back in his seat.

"Hola everyone!" Senorita said taking her stage in the front of the room.

"Hola Senorita." The class responded unenthusiastic.

The teacher wandered off on conjugating verbs but Jake was in his own dream world. Jake thought about Miley a lot now. More than he should. He thought about how much more fun he had with Miley than Alexa. Although she was pretty and popular, Miley was...special she was beautiful and popular and amazing in his own world. She was everything. But he had Alexa now and Miley was obviously moved on. So he should too. He gave up.

"Hey Jake." Amber said as Senorita left the room to make a copy of something.

"What oh what? Sorry hi." Jake said obviously very preoccupied.

"Hey I was about to say that!" Ashley whined back at Amber.

"But I said it first!" Amber said sticking her tongue out like a 6 year old.

"But I thought it first!" Ashley shot back.

The girls got into a major cat fight on who said hi to Jake first. Jake just stared blankly at the two being too lazy to stop the fight.

"That is enough ladies!" Senorita returned with a stack of papers.

"Sorry Senorita." The girls said in unison.

Jake sunk back in his seat just pursuing a little smile. Miley looked at him and gently smiled back and returned to her conversation with Danny. It was then that Jake finally realized it was over and he had made it this way. He realized without Miley in his life he was miserable and empty and just felt like another celebrity in the crowd.

Jackson had set up the perfect payback, but he was alone without any backup but he could do it.

"Hey Jackson, what are you doing home for Luch?" Robby asked setting his keys down on the table.

"Oh me nothing just wanted to see my favorite dad in the whole wide world." Jackson said opening his arms wide for a hug.

"What are you up to boy? Robby said pushing Jackson out of his arms.

"Oh nothing Dad." Jackson said moving his eyes back and forth.

"I know that face what are you up-" Before Robby was able to finish he was clobbered in all the contents of the Stewart's garbage. Robby stood there staring at Jackson.

"I'm a gunna get you!" Robby said chasing after Jackson.

"I really am glad that you asked me to the dance." Miley said to Danny linking their hands together. They were sitting on a sand dune watching the sun set into the water.

"Me too." Danny said smiling at her.

Jake had finally decided they needed each other in their lives and had come to apologize he ran all the way to the beach. Running, running and never stopping for anything.

"I really, really do like you Miley." Danny said to her leaning in for a kiss.

They kissed. While Jake watched from the back heartbroken then realizing it was a definite they we never meant to be but he wouldn't give up ever.
