What's Up With Oliver?
"I actually left my skateboard here the other day, so I'll get it when I leave. And yeah, I ran part of the way. I was actually trying to run away from Oliver. I saw him on my way home from school. He walked right up close to me, so we kissed and then he said…" she started to smile and stare off into space, apparently thinking of something that had just happened between her and Oliver. Then she looked at me and realized what she was saying. "…w-well we can just talk about that later." She said quickly.
"Mhmm, you bet we will. If this other news wasn't so big, then we'd talk now. As a matter of fact I have been meaning to ask you how you and Oliver have been doing lately." I said suspiciously. "Anyway, back to the first subject. What did your Mom say?"
"Oh yeah, she said yes! But of course I have to be with you and your Dad the whole time and blah, blah, blah. Anyway what's this all about? Why are you touring in Romania of all places?"
"Well, Jake got a part in a movie and it is going to be filmed in Romania. He will have to be there for four months."
"Whoa, what a koinky dink, we'll be there too. Do you think we'll see him there?" She said as we went over to the couch and sat down. I just rolled my eyes.
"Lilly, you're missing the point. This was Jakes idea in the first place, this way we won't have to be away from each other for so long. So what do you think?"
"Oohh ok, I get. That is so cool. So I'm gonna come as Lola. But Miley, what about Oliver?"
"Yeah I know that's what I was going to say next. I can't believe I forgot about him. Do you think he'll get permission?"
"Oh definitely" Lilly said, like it was no problem. "I mean this is going to be a really fun trip. He has to come."
"Oh yeah Lilly" I said slowly and suspiciously. "A few minutes ago you started telling me that you kissed Oliver and then ran away because of something he said, remember that? So what did he say?" She didn't answer; instead she looked around the room for something to do. She was clearly trying to avoid the subject. She saw the remote for the TV, sitting next to her. And just as soon as she grabbed it, I took it right back. "You can't avoid this subject forever."
Even though she was glaring at me, I just smiled at her and stared her down until she gave in. Only for about five seconds...she sure caved fast.
"Oh alright, fine! He just...well remember what I told you a few days ago, about Oliver?"
"That he's giving you two another try. Yeah I remember, but that still doesn't answer my question. What did he say?" I kept trying to persuade her.
"Ok, well we walked home from school together, and he kissed me as we turned to go to our houses. Then a little while later, just after you called, he happened to be walking up to my house just as I was walking out."
"So then what'd Oliver say?" I tried not to be, but I was getting a little impatient.
"Hold on, I'm getting there. Anyway, he walked with me part of the way, to your house and I thought I would ask him if he could come on the trip too. I figured you wouldn't mind. So just as I was about to ask him, he kissed me again."
"Ok, I think I'm missing the point."
"Well we were just standing there and making out for like a minute."
"What's wrong with that? Jake and I have...I mean I'm glad you two are moving along." Lilly gave me a strange look for a moment after I said this. Should I tell her that Jake and I go a lot longer then a minute? Yeah, I'll get to that later.
"That's just the thing Miley, we're moving along in kissing. But Oliver hardly talks to me anymore. Ok, maybe it was nice at first but I pulled away and told him I really needed to go."
"Well what did he say after that?"
"I actually don't know." she said with a sigh and some disappointment in her voice. "I don't know why, but I ran off before I heard him finish his sentence. And he didn't even run after me. What am I going to do Miles?" Lilly said as she turned around to lie on the couch.
"Gosh Lilly I'm sorry. Well what was the first part that you heard him say?"
"All he said was "Lilly I want…", and then I turned the corner to your house. He's getting kind of frustrating now. I just want to talk to him, not make out all the time."
"Maybe he wants to talk too; Why don't you just ask him what's going on? Plus, you two should really talk if he ends up coming on this trip with us."
"I know we should, but how am I supposed to ask him anything when he is always all over me? It's becoming so annoying. Oh great there he is now."
Lilly looked over my shoulder towards the door and folded her arms. This was getting weird; I have never seen her act like this about Oliver before. She saw Oliver in the window just before he walked through the door. I stood up as he came inside. He seemed calm, like he had taken his time to walk here.
"Hey Miles." He nodded at me and walked over to Lilly. "Listen Lilly, I just wanted to tell you that I want to feel-"
"Oliver I'm sorry, but I just don't want to hear it right now." Lilly said without looking at him.
She suddenly got up from the couch, ran up the stairs into my room and shut the door. Why my room? Oh well, now maybe I can talk some sense into Oliver.
"What's up with her?" he asked completely clueless.
"Well Oliver…" I said as I put my arm around him and moved him to the couch to sit down. "…have you guys been hanging out lately? Have you talked at all?"
"I guess we don't talk very much, but we do hang out?"
"And what do you do when you hang out with her?"
"I kiss her a lot. I guess I just want to kiss."
"Why do you want to do that all the time? Have you ever told her?"
"Yeah I've tried. What I've been trying to say is that I want to feel the same way, so do you think kissing will spark something?"
He was looking right into my eyes. I couldn't believe he was doing this again. He told me he only liked me as a sister before.
"Oliver, you're talking about Lilly aren't you…" I turned away from his gaze and looked at the floor. "…you aren't talking about me right?" I asked slowly and was afraid to hear the answer.
"Well maybe, I don't know Miles." He said as he got up from the couch and began pacing. "I really don't know what I'm doing now."
"Why are you doing this again? After I told you I realized you were more like a brother to me, you said you felt the same way remember?" he stopped pacing and nodded his head yes. "Well then why are you saying this stuff again? Did you…lie to me?"
"Not really, I mean no, no I didn't. But it feels different now because I don't feel much when I kiss Lilly all the time."
"Well you need to get to know her more. Don't just kiss all the time. Hang out and talk more, because that's what she really wants. Once you guys do that then I'm sure you will feel something." I said as Oliver sat next to me again.
"Ok, you're right. We should do something together, just the two of us. I mean like a date. That way we can really talk, rather then just kiss."
I just realized they can be alone backstage when I'm doing a concert.
"Great. Now Oliver I need to ask you something. Can you come on a Hannah Montana tour to Romania? We leave in a few days and Lilly is coming too."
"That sounds awesome. But I'll need to ask for permission first. How long will we be gone?"
"Four months"
"Wow, that's a long tour. Why are you staying that long anyway?"
"Oh yeah, Jake is doing a movie there and my Dad said we could tour there for two months. Then we'll turn the rest into a vacation."
"Cool, but what about school?"
"Well we're just going to ask the school for our school work."
"Sounds good to me" Oliver said as he was walking towards the door. "Oh, isn't Lilly still upstairs?"
"Oh yeah, I'll go talk to her. So can you go ask right now and come back over later?"
"Yeah no problem, I'll see you later then."
"Ok, bye Oliver" I said as he walked out the door.
I went up to my room as soon as Oliver left. I'll just say that he's going to talk more. He is going to hang out with you and talk more. Yeah, that's all she needs to know. Oliver doesn't really like me anymore; he just said so didn't he? Oh no, he just said he would talk to Lilly. Great now what am I supposed to do?
"Lilly I really think you…" I walked into my room and Lilly wasn't there. Then I looked at my closet and the doors to the Hannah closet were part way open. "Lilly I really think you should talk to Oliver again."
I walked into the closet and saw Lilly looking at some purses.
"Why would he want to talk?"
