The Things I Do For Love

That Look

The next day:

Sometimes, a person gets a look on their face that can't be described. A look…that's so in love that…like I said, I can't explain. But you don't have that look if you already have what you love. The look only comes on your face if you see someone you are so in love with and so desperately want, but can't have. Well, can't isn't exactly the right word. Won't. Doesn't. You can let your stupid selfish pride get ahead of you. You think, 'I can't like him, he doesn't like me.' Or, vise versa. But, your heart won't let that get in the way of your everlasting feelings or that look on your face. Right now, that look was on four faces in this little group we have here (the HM and HSM gang). The look was on the faces of Gabriella and Troy. You know who they are looking at.

Everybody else knew they were looking like that and didn't say anything. Then, Miley got an idea in her head. "Jake, can I talk to you upstairs real quick?" she asked.

"Uh huh."

They head up the elevator and she quickly pulls him inside her hotel room.

"Oh my god!" she nearly yelled.

"What?"

"Those kids from New Mexico are like so in love!"

"I know!"

"And Lily and Oliver seem to be liking each other too."

"Yeah, but they're kind of less obvious."

"We need to do something about Troy and Gabi."

"What'd you have in mind?"

"Well…"

Back with the gang, Lily, and Oliver:

"So," Taylor began. "How did Jake Ryan and that Miley girl get together, I mean I've seen pictures of Jake Ryan with girls before, but he has never looked that happy, and Miley seems really sweet."

"Well," Lily began. "It's a funny story."

"Go on."

"Miley…um…how do I put this,… she… uhh, hated his guts."

"What!" everybody in the HSM gang said.

"Yeah," Lily explained. "You see, she thought he was a jerk egomaniac who took his celebrity powers for granted."

"Yeah, but then, she found out, he liked her because of the fact that she was the only one who didn't swoon over the sight of him."

"Because of that?" Sharpay asks, shocked.

"Yeah, we think he though it was kind of annoying how girls crowded around him like they did."

"Oh."

"So, like I said, he liked her, she found out. Things changed. She started actually noticing how sweet he was to her, and had always been."

"Continue, I'm missing my soaps for this," Sharpay said.

"It became official that she did like him when he asked me to the 70s dance. She got all kinds of jealous and well… things got kind of crazy, but after that, they still stuck to flirting, you know, giving each other those looks that these to keep giving each other the looks these two are," she finished, pointing at Troy and Gabriella, who are blushing.

"Oh, asking the best friend out, classic."

Lily whispers to Oliver, "Let's not go over the whole Aunt Dolly tape thing." He nods. She continues talking

"So, she asks out this guy to make him jealous, and it turns out the guys 11, and then they go arguing about liking each other, because neither of them are actually admitting they like each other. In the middle of all this arguing, he kisses her, but then, he has to go to Romania for four months, he comes back, and they're happy and blah blah blah!"

"Why'd you end it like that?" Oliver asked. "You skipped so much of the good and juicy stuff!"

"Well, because of my loyalty and honesty to my best friend, and because I'm tired."

"Um, it might also have something to do with the fact that Jake and Miley are standing behind Oliver looking pretty pissed that you're talking about them behind their backs," Taylor laughs.

"Yeah, that too."

"You guys! Some of that stuff is kind of embarrassing and I would appreciate it if you didn't recite it to the whole freakin' world!"

"Geez, Miley."

"Well, please don't!"

"Why?"

She gave Jake, Oliver, and Lily a look and they understood completely.

Did you get the last part? Cookies for whoever understands it, that is if there are cookies in your house. Yeah, definitely a filler. I realize nothing's really happening in this story yet, but it will soon, I promise.

On another note…. I was just listening to Hilary Duff's Come Clean! I'm such a dork!
