The Things I Do For Love

Drawing Them In

"I have a brilliant beyond brilliant idea!" Miley exclaims to Jake. (going on while Sharpay and Taylor are talking)

"What?" he asks.

"Let's mess with them," she says.

"What do you mean?" he asks.

"Well, I can ask completely fine with this whole situation at one time, but then, completely…not fine at other times," she answers.

"Oh, yeah, and maybe sometime I can act like I like Hannah, and then, at other times act like I like you."

"Exactly," she says. "It'll be fun."

"Yeah, and maybe we can get Oliver, Lily, Troy, and Gabi to act weird like that sometimes too," Jake suggests.

"Get us to act weird like what?" Oliver asks, as the four of them walk into the room. (If I hadn't mentioned it before, they all had become really good friends over these last, 3 or 4 days.)

"Oh," Miley starts. She explains the whole Hannah/Jake/Miley triangle to Oliver and Lily who didn't know about the whole 'Jake and Hannah kiss' that the group had witnessed. "So now, we're thinking about playing some games with those who don't know what's really going on."

"That sounds kind of mean," Lily states. "But, I'll so do it." Everybody laughs.

"So," Miley begins. "Just think of some ways to act, I dunno, weird or confused about everything, but now on to other matters, what's going on with you two?" she asks turning to Troy and Gabriella. "Ever since that whole, 'I kept your secret, why couldn't you keep mine?' thing, you seem even more flirty than usual." They blush. They hadn't really told anyone they were together, actually, they hadn't told anyone. They just kept sneaking off.

"Umm…" Troy says. "Well, you see, we're…"

"You're going out!" Lily nearly yells. They nod. Miley and Lily squeal as everybody else rolls their eyes. "That's so great!" Miley says. "Wait, you're keeping it a secret?"

"Yeah."

"Well, the six of us just love to torture people, don't we?" Jake asks and they all laugh.

Oliver's POV: Man, why do I have these sudden feelings for Lily, I don't think these are normal to have for your best friend, but…I do. I know I love her, but I know she doesn't feel the same way.

Lily's POV: Oliver, Oliver, Oliver. That's all I can ever think about lately. Why do I all of the sudden, ok, before that, love him? Groan.

The six of them want down to the lobby and talked about what they were going to do. Then, Sharpay and Taylor came down. "What were you guys doing?" Gabriella asks.

"Oh, we were just listening to some Hannah Montana stuff, she has very interesting lyrics," Taylor answers. They hadn't really talked about the lyrics, they agreed to do it laster. Gabriella gave Miley a look and Miley nodded.

"Hannah Montana this, Hannah Montana that, that's all anybody talks about anymore, isn't it? Well, I'm sick of it!" Miley says, as she gets up to walk away. Taylor and shrpay looked confused. Aren't they together, even though we're not supposed to know that? Doesn't she know he's cheating on her?

Miley goes up to her hotel room and gets a text from Jake.

Jake: Nice Work

Miley: I know

"That was…strange. She told us she was completely fine with whatever is going on, because, I really don't know anymore," Taylor says, truly confused.

"What was strange?" Chad asks as him, Jason, and Zeke walk up to their little group.

"Well, you know how we told you that Miley and Jake had broken up before this little star studded meaningless kiss, and Miley was fine with it?" Sharpay asks.

Jake: they're calling it a 'star studded meaningless kiss' now

Miley: rolls eyes

"Yeah," Chad says.

"Well, she just stormed out of here, mad about Hannah Montana, I'm very confused, because, I thought…never mind," Taylor said, not wanting Jake to know about her thoughts on what is going on.

"You know, Jake's right here, why don't you just ask him?" Troy says, giving Jake a look.

"Jake, do you know what's goin' on?"

"Uhh, maybe she's just upset about…" he didn't get to finish his sentence because…

"Oh my god!" Lily yells, catching the whole lobby's attention. "I…umm…heard that the hotel offers discounts to people over 50," Lily covers up. Everybody goes back to whatever they were doing, thinking Lily is just another crazy teenager. "I'll be right back," Lily says to the group as she heads up to hers' and Miley's room. When she gets there, she slaps a magazine down on Miley's bed. Miley, who was reading, looks up.

"What's with the magazine, Lil?" she asks.

"Read this article," she says, pointing to an article.

Miley starts reading. "After the infamous Jake Ryan/Hannah Montana interview on the Jackie Hendericks Show a couple of days ago, nobody was still quite positive that his mystery girlfriend truly existed. Friends of Ryan and Montana claimed that she was real, and that her name was Miley. Yet something about the fact that no information has been given on her and that no pictures have been seen was still a bit fishy. Well, think again! Miley, whos surname has yet to be given, and Jake Ryan have been spotted! A picture was taken about two weeks ago of the two of them on, what we're assuming is a date. Although, this is no ordinary date photo as you can see above. Who we're assuming is 'Miley' was covered in what looks like a strawberry smoothie. Why? Jake Ryan is very admired, for lack of a better word, by the female population of his school, Seaview High. "Some fan girls who were jealous spilled it on her, most likely," says a source. "I doubt this was an accident." David Martinez, the cashier at the restaurant they were at that night, recalls Ryan calling this girl Miley, so, we're assuming this is her. Martinez says, "You can't really see this while she was covered in smoothie, but, this was a pretty cute brunette chick. She had a slight, very slight, you can barely even hear it, but it's there, southern drawl to her voice." On the status of this relationship, if there even is one, we do not know. All we know is 'Miley' is definitely not a lie. What the heck? What is this?" Miley yells.

"Well, it looks like an article about you and Jake and a picture of you two, with you covered in smoothie," Lily answers.

"Well, I got that part! I'm asking how they got this!"

"I don't know, when was this anyway?" Lily asks.

"Uhh, our first date, Amber and Ashley did it," Miley says. Lily giggles at the last part of the sentence. "Oh Lily, you know what I mean, this is no time for jokes!"

"Sorry."

"Yeah, well, what am I gonna' do now?"

"Tell Jake, it's his publicity, not Hannah's," Lily answers logically.

"Right."

Miley: grrr…

Jake: that time of month again?

Miley: no

Jake: then what

Miley: I swear, if I ever look at another smoothie again, I'll hurl

Jake???

Miley: Us Weekly (I know they usually don't do people that age, but, I don't usually read the mags that do) has a picture and an article about our 1st date

Jake: crap

Miley: ya

Jake: well, there's nothing we can do about it

Miley: that's the worst part
