A/N I know I know- really short. But I just wanted to post a little bit so I wasn't forgotten. I am writing the next chapter right now though. So keep reading even though this one may have been short. Personally, I don't think my last chapter was the best, but they will get better. But for now, I'm still writing the next chapter and it should be up soon. And definitely longer then this one. Don't you worry about that!
Which Way Now?
Miley's POV
We watched Oliver walk through the lunch room doors. Then we turned back to each other.
"Lilly you don't think-"
"Oliver might be-"
"Jealous?" I looked at her for a moment, searching for any other answer. But her returned look just confirmed the worst. "No, n-no Lilly, this cannot happen now. I mean why Oliver? Why me? Me and Oliver? That just sounds weird…" I went rambling on as I paced up and down a few lockers. "I mean I always thought that you and Ol-" I stopped in mid-sentence, realizing what I was saying out loud. Then I stopped pacing because I noticed that Lilly was now blushing. "Y-you, you like him, don't you?" I asked quietly as I stepped up a little closer to her.
"W-well…so what if I do? I guess it doesn't matter now does it?"
"Oh come on Lilly, we can't assume this can we? So maybe it sounded like he was jealous, but we're probably just being paranoid."
"Yeah…yeah you're right. I don't think he's jealous." She seemed to lighten up at what I said. "In fact I think we should go and ask him what that was about." She said, closing her locker and pulling me to the lunch room.
"What?" for some reason I was nervous now. "Are you sure you want to ask him straight out like that?"
"Sure why not? It looks like he's got nothing better to do." She said, pointing to Oliver as we entered the lunch room.
Oliver was sitting at an empty table and already had his food. He was eating, so he didn't notice us walk in. He was also saving us seats with his legs stretched across one chair and his backpack on another. I also noticed another table with only one occupant- Jake. He looked a little sad and lost in thought as he was looking down at his food.
"Lilly, look there's uh…" I gestured over towards Jake's table.
"Wow, I guess all this star stuff really has blown over at this school. Do you want to go talk to him now?"
"Well I don't know. What about Oliver?" It felt like I was torn between two people that I had to talk to right then. "Oh man, I feel so torn! I mean I know I need to apologize to Jake. But then Oliver's another story. I just have to find out that secret he seems to have all of the sudden."
"Listen, I'll take care of Oliver and tell you what he says. You should just go talk to Jake right now." She said as Jake looked up from his food and noticed us.
"Ok fine, thanks Lilly." We smiled at each other as a quick good bye and went to our separate tables; each of us in for a surprise.
A/N don't forget me. I will be back with longer chapters! Once again, love the reviews.
