Girlfriend--- Second Best:

Chapter 1 Jealousy

"There he goes again." I said as I rolled my eyes. I leaned against the lockers, talking to Miley, as I watched Oliver shamelessly flirt with a girl.

It irritated me that Oliver would flirt with every single girl in this school, even Miley, and not be ashamed. He hasn't even flirted with me! I mean, it's not like I want him to flirt with me, because I don't. It just confuses me and makes me feel weird. Then again, I shouldn't feel this bad because he tries too hard and always gets slapped by girls.

"If you're that jealous, Lilly, why not go over there and flirt with him?" Miley suggested with a wicked grin on her face.

"Ew! Miley, you should think about what you say before you actually say it." I crossed my arms over my chest and glared at her. "It's not like I want to flirt with him, it just pisses me off. He needs to get a clue that not all girls like those idiotic pick up lines he uses."

Although I don't want to flirt with him, the thing is I cant. I have never flirted with anyone before, and I don't even know what the difference between flirting is and talking with a boy is. Some people say that when you laugh and push them jokingly, that's flirting. Then again, to me it's just joking around.

"Mhmm, and yet that girl he's with right now, she seems to really enjoy those pick up lines." Miley said and my attention went back to Oliver. He was making the girl laugh and blush.

I felt weird once I saw this. Like I wanted to go and slap the girl for laughing, and then tell her to leave Oliver alone.

"Who cares, it's not like they're going to actually go out." I said and in an instant, the girl laced her hands with his and kissed him on the cheek. "Or I could be wrong?"

A pang of emotion hit me, making my chest hurt a bit. Why was I feeling this? It's not like I care about it. He could see that girl all he wants if he wants to. I wonder what they're talking about.

"Wow, that's a big difference." Miley said as her eyes went wide.

"Did that just happen?" I asked her as I continued to watch Oliver and the girl talk.

"Is someone jealous?" Miley asked and I frantically shook my head.

"You would actually think I would get jealous over a nerd like him?" I forced myself to laugh and Miley eyed me carefully.

"I bet you're completely jealous, but you're just hiding it." Miley smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Never in my life would I ever get jealous over that." I said, and yet the pain in my chest hadn't subsided and I tried to look away, but couldn't keep my eyes off of them. It just got me interested in how much that girl kept on giggling as Oliver continued his flirtatious actions.

"Mhmm, then why can't you stop looking over there?" Miley asked. I looked at Miley and put my hands on my hips.

"There, you happy now?" I asked and she laughed.

"You want to meet Oliver's little victim?" Miley asked and I shook my head.

"Nah, we'll eventually meet her, if they keep it up that is. You know the whole approval thing he goes through when he tries to get a girl." I rubbed my temples and closed my eyes for a second. Why cant this feeling just lower a bit?

"Hey look, here they come." Miley said and I looked at Oliver and the girl coming toward us, hand in hand.

"Hey guys." Oliver said as soon as he reached us.

"Hi." Miley and I said at the same time.

"Who is that?" I asked and he grinned.

"Well, this is Candace. She's a sophomore here." He said and slightly moved her in front of him.

"Hey." She blushed and looked down.

"Hey, I'm Miley and this is Lilly." Miley said as she stuck her hand out to shake her hand.

Oliver always did this when it came to approving the girls he somewhat liked. He would bring them to us and meet her and then we'd talk to her just to find out more stuff about her. They were all never good enough, well to me. There was one girl who Miley picked out for Oliver. She was pretty, but I didn't like her. I don't know why I kept on denying each of the girls. To me, none of them was perfect enough.

"I've never seen you around here, considering that we're all sophomores here as well." I said and she sighed.

"I just moved here from New York last month. I started coming here two weeks ago and Oliver here has been nice enough to show me around." She smiled and Oliver laughed.

"Oh you, I just like to help people out, you know." He slightly blushed.

"Really? That's nice of him; he doesn't usually help out the new students." I said knowing that Oliver only did that to get her.

"Oh really? He's been really helpful toward me. We've even gone out a few times." She said, slightly shrugging.

I shot Oliver a dirty look and he looked away, ashamed.

"Hmm… Well may-" I started, but Miley cut me off.

"Well anyway, it's nice to meet you. I'm happy that you got to know Oliver like that, we'll be going now." Miley laughed and gripped on my wrist, pulling me away from Oliver and Candace.

"What was that about?" She hissed as soon as we got into a class room. She threw my hand down and shook her head.

"He's only being nice to her just to pick her up! They've gone out already!" I exclaimed feeling this irritating feeling at the pit of my stomach become stronger.

"Well maybe this could be the actual time that Oliver gets a girl that actually likes him? You know how he is already Lilly." Miley said and I shook my head.

"I have a bad feeling for this girl, I mean look at Becca! She liked him and then moved the next week. He liked Sarah, but then they didn't work out either. Now it's "Candace". He's just desperate for a girl!" I exclaimed and dropped my bag next to my desk.

Miley showed a knowing grin. "You are so jealous."

"I am not!" I said and threw my hands in the air. "I'm just watching his back! We don't even know anything about her and I just don't want to him to get hurt."

"Well, she might be a good girl you know. We should give her a chance." Miley took my arm and gave me a reassuring look.

"Okay, but still, I am not jealous." I said and she laughed.

"Mhmm yeah, I believe you." She rolled her eyes and took her seat at the desk.

"I'm really not!" I sat next to her and she turned to me.

"I really believe you! Now quiet down before you hurt yourself." She stuck her tongue at me and I rolled my own eyes.

"Yeah right." I sighed deeply.

I knew I couldn't trust Candace. She seemed too fake for me to believe her, but whatever, I'm going to have to watch out for her. I don't like her at all. Not one bit.
