Here is chapter 2...don't worry Miley's cousin is comming soon. :)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day
"So, how was decorating?"
" Good, I guess. So, what are you doing today?"
"Lily, I already told you! My cousin is coming in today!"
" oh, yeah! Why is she coming again?"
"Lily! Do you have short term dementia or something? She's coming to
live with us cause my Aunt Bree and Uncle Sam died, remember?"
" Oh yeah! I'm so sorry about that!''
'' It's okay. I've gotta go pick her up tonight so I can't do anything
after school today. My stupid brother is freaked out because he has to put
up with two teenage girls. He is so stupid and insensitive! UGH! Why
couldn't he be, like, mute or something?" Lily laughed as she led Miley to
the ''Losers'' table.
" So, enough of my life. How was decorating with Clay Aiken's cousin?''
Miley inquired teasingly.
'' It was great! And don't make fun of me! He is SO cute! And he's nicer
than you guys make him out to be! He even gave me Clay's Cd! For free!''
'' Oh yeah, and what did you do in exchange for that?''
'' Nothing!''
'' Oh, really?''
'' Okay, okay! get off my case! So I did his snowflakes for him! Big
deal! Let me tell you, I was so busy with those, I hardly got any time to to
talk to him!"
'' Tragedy!''
'' Miley...''
'' Okay okay! Whatever! Where is Oliver, anyway?''
'' Oh, I heard that he was having lunch with Tanya and Jenna Smith.''
'' Yeah, right! Who'd you hear that from?''
'' Oliver.''
'' yeah, that is what I thought. That was more of wish than a true
statement!'' As if he knew that he was being talked about, Oliver came over,
slid into a seat, and plopped his lunch bag onto the table.
'' So, what happened to Tanya and Jenna Smith?'' Miley threw Lily an 'I
told you so' look.
'' Yeah, her overprotective brother, Ian came over and refused to let me
sit there. What a freak!'' Miley laughed and rolled her eyes. She finished
her lunch, threw out the plate, and went to her next class.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miley glanced at her watch again. She loved drama class- when it was
only twice a week! Since the new principal, Mr. Darbus, had taken over, they
had drama class each day. She didn't know how she would survive another half
a year like this!
BRRING! it finally ended! Miley shot out of the class, grabbed her books
from her locker, waved to Lily and Oliver, then almost ran to her dad's car.
The mere sight of Jackson sitting in the front seat, HER seat, with a smug
look on his face was enough to grate on her nerves.
'' Now ya'll need ta remeber that Kayla just lost her parents and she is
likely to be sensitive and quiet.'' Robbie Ray reminded the teens as they
drove towards the airport.
''Yeah, yeah! we've heard it all before, Dad! She is just gonna be like
Miles, just another ditzy teenager!'' Miley flicked Jackson on the back of
the head and protested,
'' Oh, and what are you supposed to be, Captian Hormone! Remember, this
ditzy teen sitting back here is the one who got you that mini ipod for our
birthday!'' Before the bickering could continue, Robbie Ray stepped in.
''Hey, hey! You don't want poor Kay to have to come to home to this, do
you!'' On that note, they all completed the trip in silence.
