Sweet Girlfriend of mine, chapter 8

Thor, Jackson's new friend, was standing in the room, surprised by the three friends' question...

''What are you talking about?'' He asked confused.

''Why did do that?'' Lilly asked.

''Why did I do what?'' He repeated, even more confused. ''Hi Miley!'' he said, suddenly recognizing her.

''Hey...'' she responded, cold.

''The poster of us... All over school...'' Lilly said.

''I didn't do that...''

''Yeah, right. You've got the motive... you've been crushing on Miley since you've been here!''

Miley gasped. What was Lilly talking about?

''And you're the only one to have access to the copying machine.'' Lilly added.

''That's not true...''

''Mrs Flesh doesn't count...'' Oliver said.

''I'm not talking about her...''

Miley, Lilly, and Oliver stayed silent, confused. Miley and Oliver glanced at Lilly, wondering what to do...

''I...erm, let's just say, that I kinda like someone... ''

Lilly was going to repeat that they knew it was Miley, but Thor made her stopped.

''And no, it's not Miley. I mean, come on, it's Jackson's sister! I'm not that stupid!'' He exclaimed with a dorky laugh. ''He would kill me!''

''So who it is?'' Miley asked, relieved it wasn't her.

''It's a girl who needed to use the machine. She asked me to help her one day, but I told I couldn't let her in. But she was so beautiful...I thought, maybe if I helped her sneaking in, she could maybe like me...''

''Boys'' Miley sighed.

''I guess she'll be here in a few minutes. She's coming every night these last few days.''

''How can we be sure you're not lying.'' Lilly frowned.

''You can check on the computer. She entered her ID and alln everytime she came. And I bet you can even see what she printed out. Not a lot persons know that, even if you throw away your files, you can still find them...'' Thor proudly explained.

Lilly went to the computer. ''What's her name?''

''erm, I don't know...'' Thor confessed, blushing.

''How come you like her and you don't know her name!'' Oliver exclaimed.

''I was too shy to ask her...I barely even talked to her while she was there. I always found something to do and left her alone...''

''Wow, I don't know how you could even think you could get the girl.'' Oliver mocked.

''Ok, Thor, I need you to do that for me, I don't know how to use it.'' They heard Lilly say.

''Oh yeah, sure,'' he quickly said.

He entered some information in the computer, selected a few things.

''Here you go,'' he said, while a window appeared on the screen. ''It's an historic of all the entries. These numbers are the student Ids. OK, now, the girl I'm talking about is... there. Her first time here was Monday.''

''45845'' Lilly read. ''Do you know who that is?'' She asked to Miley and Oliver.

''Nope,'' Miley said.

''I think I do...'' Oliver slowly replied.

''Hey Thor, I...'' They heard a girl say, but she froze.

Miley, Lilly, Oliver and Thor turned around.

''Oh my god!'' Miley let out.

Lilly gasped. ''What are you doing here?!'' she asked.

''I told you, she's the girl!'' Thor exclaimed.

''Are you sure? I mean...'' Miley started. She was completely stunned.

''45845.'' He said lovingly. ''That's her. I'm positive.''

''Yeah, that's her.'' Oliver said quietly.

Lilly and Miley looked at him. Poor Oliver.

''Becca, how... why...?'' He asked.

Becca was stunned. She didn't expect a committee to welcome her.

''I... Erm... I...'' She babbled. She couldn't find her words.

They stayed silent for a while.

''Wow, that's uncomfortable,'' Thor said.

Lilly shrugged.

''So Becca, what's gotten into you?''

''I was...upset. I mean, Oliver wouldn't stop looking up to you, always saying 'look at Lilly and Miley how happy they are' or 'look at what they're doing right now' or 'maybe we should do like Miley and Lilly'...I just wanted one thing. I wanted it to stop and finally have a relationship, just the two of us, Oliver.'' Becca was shaking. Oliver was confused.

''When I saw you in that room, I totally lost it. Oliver and I will never be as close as you are guys. What you told each other, it was so... real, so beautiful.''

Lilly and Miley exchanged a look. What they said that day seemed like it was a thousand years ago...

''There is no rational explanation for what I did.'' Becca continued. ''I just took the picture, and... I guess I thought about Jane...maybe if I did the same thing.''

''So you thought that by destroying our lives, by breaking us up...'' Lilly started.

''...I didn't want you to break up at first.'' Becca cut her. ''I couldn't even iamgine it. It seemed impossible! But then, I saw how Miley was reacting, and that your relationship was in danger. So, I thought that I could go for the gold. Thus, I kept putting posters everywhere till one of you burned out...''

''I can't believe you did that.'' Oliver whispered.

''We were supposed to be friends...'' Miley added.

''I know, I'm sorry.'' Becca said, looking down.

They stayed silent, everyone looking at Becca who wanted to disappear. Lilly was too stunned to say something. She would have never thought Becca could do such a thing.

''So, where do we go from here?'' Miley asked, more to herself than anyone else.

Lilly and Miley watched Oliver and Becca leaving for the Principal's office. Lilly wouldn't handle it. Maybe Becca deserved more than a meeting with the principal, but the thought of what Oliver was going through stopped her in planning anything against Becca.

''I hope Oliver will be ok...'' Miley sighed.

''It's gonna take some time...I still can't believe it! Becca...''

''Yeah I know. It's strange. You think you know someone, but one day, they completely show a different side, leaving you wondering who this person you had in front of you all this time really was...''

''Yeah, I know what you mean.'' Lilly let out.

Lilly and Miley glanced at each other.

''So, how're you feeling now that everything's over?'' Lilly asked.

''I don't know... the same I guess. I mean, nothing has changed...''

''Yeah...Maybe we could try to be friends now?''

''Like before?''

''Well, we could try... I don't want you out of my life, Miley. Right now, I'd take anything from you...'' Lilly confessed.

Miley smiled. ''Kay. One step at a time...'' Miley softly said. And maybe one step towards a new beginning... some day. ''So you wanna hang out at the beach?'' She asked.

Lilly smiled. Miley in a bathsuit. Yeah, that was fine for her... for now at least!
