Surprises

Lilly's POV

When I sat down beside Oliver, I saw Miley begin to talk to Jake. I sure hope that goes well. But now I just need to make Oliver crack.

"Oliver, you didn't skip breakfast, I know you better then that. Why did you-"

"Ok ok, I was just nervous because I realized how I sounded." He said, looking down at his food. Wow, that was easier then I thought.

"Yeah, it sounded like you were…jealous." I paused for a moment waiting to see if he would look at me; he didn't. "Are you?"

"No, that's just the thing, I'm not. But knew I must have come across that way so I ran off to lunch."

"Well then…what's wrong?" I asked a little concerned. He was still acting a bit strange.

"When she said that she and Jake had a fight, I guess I just felt some "brotherly" feelings kick in, you know?" he put air quotes around brotherly. Then he finally looked up from his food and at me. We locked eyes.

"Yeah I get it, but why didn't you just tell her right then?" I said quietly. Oliver scooted closer to me so he could hear me better.

"I don't know; like I said before, it just felt a little awkward." He said quietly. Even though the lunch room was filled with noises, it was drowned out because he was still staring me down and I didn't look away, I didn't want to look away.

"So she's more like a sister to you?" I asked quietly, just wanting to confirm it. He scooted closer yet again, because I was still to quiet.

"Exactly! I only felt a bit protective."

At this last explanation, he knew and I knew each others feelings because we were gradually getting closer to each other. I had hardly noticed until he put a hand on my cheek and our lips gently touched. It was for only a few seconds. It was in the lunch room, so we didn't want to make a big scene. I wouldn't have minded, but Oliver pulled away first.

"H-how was…do, do you feel the…I mean I would understand if-" he began stuttering; his voice getting high at a few points. I couldn't help but giggle a little.

"Yeah Oliver, I do. I feel the same way." I said smiling and blushing at the same time. Now I was finally relieved knowing that he felt the same.

Miley's POV

As I walked over to Jakes table he put on a small welcoming smile and nodded, letting me know that I could sit down. There was a seat right next to him. I sat there, and then I scooted closer. He was surprised, but didn't mind one bit. I just didn't want our conversation to be overheard. Although it really couldn't be- everyone else in the room talking just made it harder.

"Listen Jake, I shouldn't have said that. I just wasn't thinking. You heard me first, I do like you. But I still want to say that I'm so-"

"No Miley, I'm sorry." he said quietly.

"What, why?" I asked confused. More people began talking and so everything became louder. I leaned closer to hear him.

"Well you were right, eavesdropping isn't nice. I shouldn't have done that. You and Lilly were having a private conversation, so I'm sorry too." He still spoke quietly.

"Really? Thanks Jake. But you know I really am sorry. And I…I do like you." I smiled at him. He finally smiled back.

"Thanks Miley, that means a lot." He said and put an arm around my shoulder.

It was nice- nice to drown out the sounds around us and stare into each others eyes. I was very unaware that we were slowly moving closer. Then just as we were about to kiss I accidentally broke eye contact and noticed Lilly and Oliver out of the corner of my eye. Oliver! I had completely forgotten about him. Now that this thought came into my head, I couldn't get it out until I found out why he acted the way he did.

I suddenly pulled out of the line of fire because my thoughts couldn't concentrate on it right now.

"Jake I-I'm sorry, but I gotta go. Another time?" I asked as I gathered up my book bag and stood up. I hope he didn't get the wrong idea, or his feelings hurt.

"Oh yeah, you can count on it." He said very excited, and then smiled and gave a small wave as I left to the other table.

When I arrived at their table I sat next to Lilly. They were both silent for some reason.

"So Oliver, what's up?" I said in a sarcastic tone. Hoping he would get the hint of what I wanted to talk about.

"Not much. You?" he answered simply, like there was nothing to hide.

"Oh come on Oliver, I-"

"I need to use the bathroom Miley! How about you?" Lilly suddenly cut in.

"Oh no thanks I'm fine." I said simply and completely clueless. But Lilly just gave me a look as if what she was trying to say was so obvious. I couldn't believe I was so slow on her hint. "Buut I'm sure I'll need to go once I see it, let's go." I picked up my book bag and Lilly got up at the same time.

"We'll be right back Oliver." Lilly said to him as we were walking away. He just rolled his eyes in frustration, and then began practically shoving his whole hot dog into his mouth. It looked like he was in a hurry for something.

Lilly and I went just outside of the doors; not in the bathroom. She spoke to me quickly about Oliver.

"Geese, you think Oliver is slow on hints? Well who's the doughnut now?" Lilly said to me.

"Gosh I'm sorry, can you just let it go? Ok, so what did Oliver say?" I said very annoyed.

"Wellll…" she said with a small smile on her face. Then she looked up toward the ceiling and was deep in thought until I snapped her back to reality.

"Lilly, snap out of it!" I snapped my fingers in front of her face. She shook her head from the slight shock, and then looked at me.

"What? Oh s-sorry, alright what was the question?"

"Ok Lilly, focus!" I said and put my hands on her shoulders. "What did Oliver say?" I asked slowly.

"Alright alright, sorry." she said, moving my hands off her shoulders and finally coming back to earth. "He just…w-well we kind of…ok he kissed me." Lilly said quickly.

"Wait what? B-but I thought he…he sounded…wasn't he jealous?" I couldn't find the words to say, so I stumbled over them. My thoughts were on the two of them kissing.

A/N Still working out? Thanks for the reviews. I'll keep writing if I keep getting lot's on just one chapter. You're awesome.
