An early Valentine's present for y'all! I didn't feel like waiting till tomorrow to post it, so here it is!
Secret Admirer
"Today is going to be bad, I just know it." Miley grumbled as she walked through the doors of Seaview High.
"For you maybe, but the Okenator has a little lady that he must go and impress." Oliver said as he walked away from his two best friends.
"See? It's already looking bad if this girl is even impressed by him." Miley said as she turned around and headed for the lockers.
"Hey, you never know, there could be a Valentine's Card in your locker, just waiting for you, saying 'Open me! Open Me!'" Lilly said, making her voice go higher.
"I worry about you sometimes." Miley said as she opened her locker. Nothing. "Oh great."
"Hey, it's not like I'm going to get anything either." Lilly said as she opened her locker. She then turned to look back at Miley and didn't see the red card fall to the floor.
"But you did!" Miley said, opening the card. She read it while Lilly took her books out, not really interested in the card. "Ooh, looks like someone has a secret admirer!"
"What?" Lilly asked, grabbing the card out of Miley's hands. "'Roses are red, violets are blue. You may not know it, but someone likes you.' Oh, I'd never have guessed that." She said, being sarcastic.
"But who could it be? It's printed off the computer." Miley said, trying to take the card out of her hands. Lilly pulled it away from her friend, looking back down at the card.
"Who would send me a card with a poem in it?" Lilly asked out loud and looked around at the boys that were passing by. "Hhm… Matt?"
"Didn't he dump you?" Miley asked.
"Please, my relationship with that guy was rough. Uh… Lucas?"
"Do we need to go into details about that relationship?"
"You're right." Lilly said, looking back at the card. This person had to know her locker number. Who knew where her locker was? "Oh gross, it's Oliver!"
"I doubt it, he managed to get a girl." Miley said. Lilly turned around and saw Oliver walking with a girl she didn't recognize.
"Great, now it could be some weird guy I don't know who stalks me and knows my every move." Lilly said, stuffing the card into her bag. She shut her locker and then turned around to walk towards class, but found Jackson standing in her way.
"Er… Hey Lilly." He said, giving her a small smile.
"Hi Jackson." Lilly said, trying to side step him, but he just moved in her way. "Uh, is there something you want?"
"Uhm… did you get a card?" He asked.
"Yeah." Lilly said and sighed. He opened his mouth to say something, but the bell went and Miley dragged Lilly away. Jackson then looked at Lilly's locker and then down at the present in his hand. He closed his hand around it and walked away.

"Danny Dandruff?"
"I doubt it."
"Donny?"
"He's still here?"
"Dex?"
"Hey, back off!"
"Ok, then… who else is there?" Lilly asked, looking around the cafeteria. Then she saw Rico. "Oh please, not him!"
"What?" Miley asked, looking around to see who could possibly have Lilly living in fear.
"Rico…" Lilly said, eyes going wide.
"I doubt it, I got a card from him." Miley said.
"Oh good. But then… who is it?"
-----
"Maybe a junior?"
"Maybe."
"Nah, that's not right. A sophomore?"
"Maybe."
"A senior?"
"Maybe."
"You're no help, you know that." Lilly said, glaring at Miley as they walked home.
"Maybe." Miley said. Lilly saw the headphones in Miley's ears and shook her head. She put her skateboard down on the ground and skated ahead of Miley.
"Hey! Where are you going?"
"To find my secret admirer!" Lilly shouted back as she skated towards the skate park, a great place to sit and think or just to skate.
"So he's basically not in my grade." Lilly said as she skated towards the park. "Then who is he?"
She stopped outside and sat down on the bench, putting her bag down next to her. She opened it and saw a bar of chocolate on top. Lilly frowned and took it out. There was a sticker on the wrapping that just said it was from her Valentine.
Ok, who is this guy? Lilly thought. She turned the bar over and saw it was white chocolate with M&Ms mixed in… her favourite! But no one knows that except for Miley, Oliver and Jackson… could Miley know who the guy is???
"Uh, hey Lilly." Lilly looked up and saw Jackson standing in front of her.
"Hey Jackson." She said and then looked back at the chocolate in her hands.
"You, uh, have a nice day?" he asked as he started to fidget with his hands.
"Uh, yeah." Lilly said as she opened the chocolate bar.
"Where'd you get that from?"
"A secret admirer. He left me a note in my locker and now my favourite chocolate bar! But I have no idea who this guys is and I really want to know!"
Jackson took a seat next to her, a nervous look on his face, but Lilly didn't pick up on it. "You think you'll like this guy if you find out who it is?"
"Maybe…" Lilly said, shrugging. "I'm not one to judge a person I don't know."
"What if you do know him?"
"Miley and I have gone through all the guys I know and we've come up with nothing."
"What about me?"
Lilly turned to look at him. Jackson? Did it ever cross her mind that it could be Jackson? No, it hadn't. He wasn't one to do something… write a poem? Ha, yeah right, the day Jackson Stewart writes a poem is the day Lilly Truscott falls in love… so not going to happen…
"Well, no, but we know that you wouldn't actually do anything like this." Lilly said and laughed. But he didn't join in with her and she stopped. "Why aren't you… Oh… you're… you're… huh?"
Jackson looked over at Lilly and it seemed she finally got it. "Jackson… you wrote a poem?! Well, tried to."
"Sort of… I got my dad to help me try and think of a nice and simple poem." Jackson admitted.
"So… you like me?"
"If it's weird for you, I understand. But I heard you and Miley talking and you were pretty upset because you knew you wouldn't get anything today."
"But I built a bridge and got over it." Lilly said happily and smiled, but it slowly faded. "Until I got the card and I was trying to figure out who it was. Well, thanks then."
"I also got you something else." Jackson said and showed her a small flat box in his hands. Lilly's eye went wide as he opened it to reveal and sliver necklace with a charm.
"Jackson…" Lilly said, picking it up. The charm was a skateboard. "What… where… how…"
"You just have to say thank you." He said, getting up. "See you around Lilly."

Jackson lay on his bed, his earphones in his ears. There was a guitar solo in the song and he started to play air guitar, closing his eyes tight as he did so. He didn't hear a person enter his room and start to laugh.
He then jumped up on his bed and opened his eyes to see Lilly standing in front of him. He let out a yelp as he fell off the bed and onto the floor. He didn't hurt himself; he landed on a pile of washing that he hadn't taken out yet.
"Lilly, what are you doing here?" He asked, taking his headphones out. He got up and looked at her.
"I wanted to say thank you and give you something." She said. Jackson then noticed that she was wearing the necklace he gave her.
"Sure." He said. Lilly smiled at him and walked towards him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks." She said.
"So then what's my present?" Jackson asked, grinning.
"This." Lilly said. She then leaned in and kissed him.
"That was a nice present." He said, grinning wider. Lilly laughed as he pulled her closer for another kiss.
-----
"Hey Lills?"
"Yes Jackson?"
"How about next year, you'll be my secret admirer."
"But you'll know it's me."
"All the better." He said, kissing her forehead. Lilly shook her head and snuggled closer to him as they lay on the beach, looking up at the stars.
The two had ditched the Stewart household because they didn't want to be stuck at the house with only Mr. Stewart. Turned out, Miley did get a date, but it somehow involved Rico…
"You know, everyday can be Valentine's Day." Lilly said.
"You want a secret admirer everyday?" Jackson asked.
"No silly." Lilly said. "I mean, you don't have to wait for February the 14th to give me stuff."
"Oh, I know that." Jackson said, grinning. "It's Oliver who you should tell that to."
Ok, that was weird. Don't ask me why I ended it like that, I just felt like it. Hope y'all likes it. I'm writing a lot of one-shots for tomorrow now... for various pairings and fandoms. So, yeah, I'll be pretty active tomorrow then. So keep a look out for a one-shot with a pairing you like...
