The Things I Do For Love
A New Plan
"Oh my god!" they all shouted, except for Gabi, at what they saw in there. There were actually only two people in the room, Jake Ryan, and Hannah Montana, making out.
Miley and Jake immediately pulled apart with horror written all over their faces.
Sharpay went up to Jake and slapped him. "Jake Ryan, how could you do this to Miley?"
"Yeah, if you think for one second that we're not gonna' tell her, then think again!" Taylor exclaimed.
"Dude, how stupid do you gotta' be?" Troy asked.
"Yeah, man, Miley will kick your ass," Chad said.
"You guys!" Gabi jumped in. "Are you sure Miley needs to know?"
"Of course she does, Gabi, we would think you of all people would think that," Kelsi said, clearly shocked.
"Yeah, well…"
"How would you feel if your boyfriend was cheating on you and your friends didn't tell you?"
"Well, I would be pretty mad at them, but, I think we're dealing with a slightly different situation here."
"How is it different?"
"Well, um," Gabi tried to think of an excuse. "Because they're Jake ryan and Hannah Montana!"
"Yeah, well, we didn't say we were gonna run to Us Weekly with it, we're just gonna tell her so she can dump him."
"I'm right here you know," Jake said.
"Yes, we know, and we're leaving, because we're not about to listen to a little home wrecker's concert about stupid boys and stupid movies, wait, I bet that song really is about Jake and he has been deliberately cheating on Miley, come on, we're leaving!" Sharpay loudly said, walking out of the room.
Everybody gave Zeke a weird look, considering he was her boyfriend, and might know what the outburst was about. "When did the ice queen get back?"
"I think she's on her period.
"Eew, dude, did not need to know that!"
"Yeah, whatever!" Taylor snaps. "Come on, guys, let's go."
Everybody except Gabi followed her out of the room. "Gabs, let's go," Troy said.
"Wait for me, I'm gonna stick back here for a sec."
"Ok," he pretends to leave, but he hides behind the door so he could find out why she wants to stay. He can both see and hear what's going on.
"Miley, what are you gonna' do?" Gabriella asks. Miley?
Hannah sighs. "I really don't know." She leans against Jake's shoulders.
"Well, the way I see it, you have two choices," Gabriella says.
"What?"
"1. Tell everybody what's really going on. 2. Pretend to break up with Jake, then, when you go back to Malibu, act like none of it ever happened."
"We could do option 2," Hannah says, not happy about it.
"Yeah," Jake sighs. "But, it seems like they'll figure it out eventually."
"I don't know, sometimes they can be pretty stupid," Gabi says, half joking.
"I suppose," Hannah says. "Jake, I'm not ready to share my secret with them, I might be, eventually, but not right now, can we try option 2?"
"I guess."
"So, we're gonna pretend to break up?"
"Yeah," he sighs. "But you, you as in Miley, have to tell them not to go to the press, I can take the world calling me a cheating jerk, but I don't want you to expose your secret."
"Thanks."
"Don't you think it would be easier," Troy starts, stepping into the room. "If you just told all of us, considering, now, 2 out of 8 of us know."
Miley gasps. "How much did you hear?"
"Enough."
"Oh god."
"Listen, I won't tell anybody, but, I think no matter what you do, or how stupid they are, they're gonna figure it out."
"Yeah, so you think I should tell them?"
"Well, you could, but, I think there is a much more interesting way of going about this."
"Gabs, Troy, let's go!" Sharpay said, walking into the room, giving Hannah and Jake dirty looks.
"You know what, Shar, I think we're just gonna stay for the concert."
"Whatever," she says leaving.
She walked down the hall to where the others were. They started to walk toward the parking lot. "Where are they?" Ryan asked.
"They're staying."
"What why? That's not like Gabi at all."
"I know, you think they know something we don't?"
Taylor thought for a second. "You remember when Gabriella said 'I kept your secret, why couldn't you keep mine'? We never did think about that."
"You're right, and when I was coming in there, I heard, 'much more interesting way of going about this' from Troy," Sharpay remembers.
"I think there's definitely something they know that we don't."
Backstage:
Troy finished telling them what he thinks they should do (no, I'm not gonna tell you, although, that might be because I'm not sure yet) They agreed on it, and Hannah did the concert. (yeah, no point in the lyrics there)
They went back to the hotel (Lily and Oliver included), prepared for what they would do tomorrow.

Ok, any ideas? PLEASE tell me if you do have some, cuz I seriously have no idea where I'm going with this. But, I'll figure something out. On the plus side, I passed a really really important math test. Yay me! (I'm not London Tipton-ish, I promise.)
