"You wish you could be someone else. Sometimes you just can't see yourself."
Lilly's POV (finally!)
I stretch my arms out as I get up and get ready to go to school. I take a shower, dry my hair, put on clothes an slowly walk down to breakfast. I sit down at the table and quickly put on a little eyeliner. I look around and see no mother doing well… whatever mothers do.
" Wow Oprah, I never thought a seal would save children from a tornado." I say, ready to see my mom run out. Shockingly nothing. So I just grab a pop tart and my bag and go.
Lillz berry ya got a text!
I check my cell phone after hearing Oliver's recording for my text ring tone.
Look behind you.
I turn around to see Oliver with a huge smile on his face.
"How long did it take you to devise this little plan?" I say smiling a bit while staring up at him. He just keeps smiling at me. "Oliver, if you don't stop smiling your face might stay that way forever." He puts his hand on my cheek.
"I love you." He says. I just stare at him.
"I love you two cuz were best friends since forever." I say thinking he meant it in that way. He just keeps staring at me and suddenly he leans down and kisses me. And…
"Goooood Morning Malibu! This is your number one radio host Derrick giving you th.."
I sit up and eep as loud as ever. Wow… creepy dream. I slowly get out of be get changed and go downstairs. I keep thinking about the dream. Me and Oliver …kissing? That's just totally weird.
"Lilly, I heard you scream this morning. I just thought you tripped or something like you always do." she says as she gives me toast. I look over at the TV and see Oprah is on. "Oh and did you know a seal actually managed to safe these kids from a twister. What are the odds?" she says as she gives me orange juice. I just sit there staring.
"M…mom… I'm ….I'm gonna go." I say as I grab my bag and run to school. There was no way I was gonna wait for Oliver after my dream.
I'm finally at my locker breathing relatively hard considering school is about a mile away.
"Lils?" I hear. I take a cleansing breath, praising the lord for this voice.
"Hey Jake." I say giving him a hug. He looks at me.
"What's with you? Your breathing pretty hard." He says putting his hand to my fore head.
"Oh, I'm' fine… I uh just decided to run extremely fast to school today." I say putting my stuff in my locker to avoid eye contact. Even though Jake is a good lie detector.
"Without Oliver?" he says raising and eyebrow.
"Gosh, are we always supposed to be together?" I say slamming my locker. He just gives me the look.
"Um, usually you are, Lils. What's up?" he says with genuine concern. He's like my second best friend in the world, it's expected. I bang my head against the locker, asking myself why I even tried to lie.
"I'll tell ya later. I need the cover of leaves an twigs." I mumble against my locker. Jake just smiles a little and pats my back. Then he just walks off into the distance. Is he for freakin real? Am I in some kind of story or something?
"Hey." Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit! Horrible timing, nitwit.
