The Things I Do For Love

You're Kidding, Right?

Miley awoke the next morning to loud banging on her door. She groaned and got up, knowing exactly who it was. She put on a robe and went to the door. "Hey guys," she said to Sharpay and Taylor opening the door for them. "What's up?"

"Jake was cheating on you!" Sharpay blurted out.

"What? What do you mean?"

"Last night, we saw him kissing Hannah Montana at her concert, we had to tell you."

She sighs, hoping she was a good lier. "Listen guys, he wasn't cheating on me."

"What do you mean?"

"I broke up with Jake after the Jackie Show yesterday. We're on good terms, it just wasn't working out," she completely lies. Sharpay and Taylor's jaws drop. (Thx for the idea, laughXoutXloud)

"What? How could you not tell us?"

"I guess I didn't want you guys to make a big deal out of it."

"But, you kissed him good bye yesterday when we went to the concert."

"I guess…" she tries to think of an excuse. "Old habits die hard."

"That boy rebounds fast!" Taylor exclaims.

"Nah, he called me last night and told me about the kiss, so you guys wouldn't tell me first, he told me that him and Hannah were talking, and it just sort of happened, he doesn't have any feelings for her."

"Oh."

"So, you guys are still friends, no awkward feelings?"

"Yeah, we're fine."

"Ok, well, that's good."

Then, they heard a voice. "Miley!" But it wasn't Taylor or Sharpay. It sounded like it was coming from down the hall.

"You have to be kidding me!" Miley said, recognizing the voice.

"There, you are, Miley, I found you," said a girl, coming to the door.

"What are you doing here, Lue?" Miley asked her. Yeas, Luanne was there. But not a skimpy Luanne, an overall wearing, curly haired Luanne. (you'll understand if you read "He's Back!")

Luanne winced at the nick name. "I came to see my dear, dear cousin."

"But…but…you just left my house like 3 weeks ago."

"So?"

"Miley, who's this?" Taylor asks.

"Oh, this is my cousin, Luanne."

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Hi."

"Now, that we've said hi, my question, Luanne, what are you doing here?"

"Can't a girl visit her cousin?"

"Yes, a girl can. But, you, well, no."

She rolled her eyes.

"Why are you he…" Miley yelled, but then she realized. "You're trying to break me and Jake up again, aren't you?" Taylor and Sharpay shot her confused glances. "I mean, you would be, if we hadn't broken up!" she tried to recover.

"You and Zombie Boy broke up? I figured he would dump you sooner or later."

That made Miley's blood boil. "You know what Luanne! Shut up! Just shut up! All you ever do is talk. Shut up!" That was kind of random, but, Miley went with it anyway.

"Whatever, so, Uncle Robbie said you have a pull out couch, I'll be staying with you."

Miley groaned. "We'll be leaving now," Sharpay said, as her and Taylor left.
