Chapter 2Bad Side

I rode to school on my skate board the next day. I wasn't feeling good for a car ride with Oliver and Miley. Sometimes Oliver just gets me so angry that it's almost scary. I just don't know why Oliver gets me so pissed off like that. Yesterday I got so mad that he was flirting with that girl, and now I'm trying to avoid him. What is wrong with me?

I walked into school completely dazed. I held on my skateboard as I walked through the halls, going to my locker. As I got closer to my locker, I saw Oliver's precious Candace. Oh gosh, I hate that name. It used to be my favorite name until she ruined it.

'Don't notice me, please.' I told myself as I passed her, looking in a different direction. I almost completely passed her when I heard her close her locker.

'Hurry!' I walked quicker, but soon heard my name be called by the one and only Candace.

"Hi Lilly." Her voice sounded way too perky and happy that it disgusted me.

I took a deep breath, stopped walking, and turned around to face Candace.

She wore a brown skirt that ended at her mid thighs and a low cut v-neck shirt. Her blond hair hung down on her shoulders and she had a light shade of makeup on.

"Hi Candace." I forced myself to smile as she walked closer to me.

"Well, well… don't you look…" She eyed my outfit, which were gray capris shorts, a white tank top and blue jacket. I had my favorite black shoes and a gray beanie on. "Interesting." She rolled her eyes.

I glared at her. "Thanks you look uhh… interesting as well." I clenched my fists, watching her straighten out her outfit, looking bored.

"Well it's better than whatever you'll ever wear." She mumbled, but I heard what she said.

"What was that?" I snapped and she giggled.

"Oh nothing." She said, adjusting her purse that hung on her shoulder. She then started to walk slowly, looking back at me. "Walk with me."

"Whatever." I rolled my eyes and watched her as she walked on. She had no right to treat me like that. Gosh, I only met her yesterday.

"Why do you want me to follow you?" I asked and she stopped walking. She turned on her heel and looked at me.

"Well, I wanted to know a little more of my Oliver." She said while flashing a smile at a group of boys that passed by.

"Umm, why do you want to know about your Oliver?" I asked and rolled my eyes at her.

"Well, you see, last night he asked me out and I said yes, I mean after all, who can not resist me?" She flipped her blond hair over her shoulder and glanced to the door.

I was kind of... well, shocked. Why didn't Oliver tell me about him and Miss Queen B dating? And gosh, does she really think that highly of herself?

"You're dating him?" I asked, still not believing her.

She giggled. "Of course I am! He's cute, funny, sweet, and a great kisser-"

"Okay, I didn't need to know that little detail, but why wouldn't he tell me?" I said, practically asking myself. She looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Well I guess you don't need to know everything about his personal life. It just seems like you two aren't as close as he says, since he didn't even tell you about me until yesterday."

I felt like slapping at her right now. She seriously had no right at all to say that about me or how close my relationship with Oliver is.

"I mean, when he first mentioned him having two best friends that were girls, I was a little uncomfortable that he meant pretty girls." She turned and looked at me. "I mean look at you. Why would you want to hang out with Oliver, when it seems that you're way more interested in Miley?" She covered her mouth and laughed.

"What are you trying to say?" I asked, glaring at her. I stepped closer to her, getting ready to slap her when she looked behind me.

"Well I just think its better if you just keep-" She suddenly stopped and started to wave, pushing past me.

"Oliver!" She said. I turned around and she jumped into Oliver's arms, hugging him tightly.

Oliver and Miley were standing side by side as Candace tried to kiss him. She's seriously getting on my nerves and oh gosh, I would love to strangle her right now.

"Hey Oliver, Miley." I said as I tried to hide my anger, but I just couldn't. Candace just implied that I was… and I can not believe that she did!

"So I'm guessing Candace told you the big news." Miley said as she walked toward me. I nodded and rolled my eyes.

"She asked me if I could give her info about me and then she implied that I wasn't straight!" I whispered to Miley and her mouth dropped.

"Are you freaking serious?" She asked as she started to crack her knuckles.

"Yeah! I can't believe her!" I said and pulled Miley away from both Oliver and Candace as they started to have a deep conversation.

I took her a little far from Oliver and Candace so that they wouldn't hear what we were talking about. They really didn't need to know about what we're talking about, especially when it is about Oliver's dear Candace.

"She said that I acted like I was more interested in you and just practically told me to stay away from Oliver." I shot her a dirty look as she looked in our way. She smirked and went back to holding Oliver.

"She seemed so nice yesterday!" Miley said and I rolled my eyes.

"Whatever. I just want to tell Oliver about her, but I know he wouldn't even see it. He's going to think that we want him to break up with her just because we, or I, don't like her." I sighed and started to walk to my class.

"Well, let's just see what other stuff she does to you. She seems pretty nice; I just don't know what to think. She did call me last night to ask if you had anything to do with Oliver. It was funny because she sounded kind of afraid that you two seemed to be closer than just normal friends." Miley put her hand on my shoulder. "She's coming to the beach with us today; maybe we could peel off some information from her?"

"Maybe, but just so you know, I hate her." I said as we walked into our science class.

"Yes Lilly, I know." She rolled her eyes and sat down at her desk.

----------------------------------------------------------------

After school, Miley told me she'll meet me at the beach because she had some Hannah stuff to do. I don't even know where Candace or Oliver went. They probably went to one of the closets to make out. God, they disgust me.

I was sitting in my Spanish class, gathering my things, putting them in my bag. I was running late to the beach too since I had to make up a test I missed last week and if I didn't make it up today, then I would fail.

I got up from my chair and adjusted my bag as I pulled it on. I heard someone walk up behind me and then felt two big hands cover my eyes.

I jumped to the touch and put my hands over the hands, ready to pull them off.

"Guess who." The person whispered into my ear sending chills down my neck. I bit my lip feeling the person step closer to me.

"I-I don't know." I said and the person pulled his hand away. I turned around and saw Oliver smiling.

"I can't believe you didn't know it's me!" He said and started to laugh.

I took a step back, noticing how close we are and tried so hard not to blush.

"Sorry, gosh, I just took a test and I can't think straight!" I shook my head and walked passed him. "What brings you here?" I asked as I walked out of the classroom.

"Well, I was about to leave when I saw you here and I decided to pay you a little visit. Maybe we could go to the beach together since that's where we're going to meet Miley and Candace." Oliver walked faster until he was walking right beside me.

My stomach dropped once he said Candace's name. It still bothered me that she implied that I am a lesbian. Do I really dress that bad?

I felt his arm wrap around my shoulders, which brought me back to reality.

"What are you doing?" I asked and he laughed. We finally got out of the school and got on the sidewalk to the

"Cant a friend do this to another friend?" He asked and I sighed.

"Well, yeah, but when one friend is seeing another person, I don't think its right." I shrugged his arm off and he frowned.

"What do you think of Candace?" He asked after a few moments of silence.

I thought for a while. 'What do I think of Candace? Should I tell him that I completely think that she's the biggest bitch? Or should tell him that I think he's perfect for her. Gosh, what to do.' I bit my lip and started to pace. I really didn't want to answer the question. I mean, after just a day of meeting her, I think she's the biggest… ugh.

"So?" He asked, catching up to me. He just didn't want to let this go.

I slowed down just a little bit and then completely stopped walking. I stared at the back of his head. Maybe it wouldn't hurt to tell him how I felt about her. "You really want to know?" I asked him and he stopped to look at me.

"Well, not really. Just the usual; do we match kind of questions." He shrugged.

I rolled my eyes. These questions always irritated the hell of out me.

"Oliver, how many times am I going to have to tell you that I'm not going to respond to those questions because I hate them." I said and he laughed. We started to walk again and he threw his arm around my shoulder.

"Well, you are my best buddy." He lightly punched my shoulder. "And you would tell me if Candace had a problem with you, right?" He said.

I nodded. I do have a problem with her, but I didn't know if Candace had one on me. I hate her with all my heart, but I guess I should let him have fun in this relationship while it lasts. Still, he called me his buddy. Does it mean that he treats me more of a guy friend than a girl?

"Okay good, cuz there she is with Miley." He said as we walked nearer to them. Just before we got to them, Oliver pulled me into a light hug, making me feel funny at the pit of my stomach.

Once we pulled away, Candace and Miley popped up behind Oliver. Candace, looking completely angry, put her hands on Oliver's shoulders.

"Hi Oliver, hunny!" Candace said.

Oliver whipped around and smiled at Candace and Miley.

"Hey Ca-" just as Oliver started to say Candace's name, Candace pulled Oliver into a kiss.

I looked away, having the need to throw up. I seriously didn't need to see that.
