Chapter 7: Proof

My eyes lit up, but luckily in the darkness of the night she didn't notice.

"You know what I was thinking about when we were dancing?" Lilly asked.

"What?"

"Pre-school. Is that totally lame?"

I smiled. "Nah, Lil, I was thinking the same thing."

"Lilly! Oliver!" We heard a voice calling from behind us. We turned around to find Miley running in our direction. "Sweet niblets it's hard to run in heels!" Miley stopped when she caught up, breathing heavily.

"Miley, what are you doing here? Where's Jake?" Lilly asked.

"I just wanted to see if you were mad at me or not…Are you?"

Lilly sighed. "Miley, can we talk about this later?"

"Lilly please, we're talking about it now. Will you excuse us, Oliver?"

"Uh, yeah, I'll just be right over here." I said, sitting on the nearest bench. The girls walked a few feet away. I was out of ear shot, and wasn't the best at reading lips. But I know I saw Lilly say 'I don't like Jake'. It looked like Miley understood and she said something…wait a minute. Was that my name? I think she just said 'Oliver'. Why are they talking about me? I could tell Lilly was getting angry again, but she didn't say anything. Miley smiled now, but Lilly didn't look any happier. Then, I could hear this part, Miley squealed. Lilly shook her head, and then Miley looked confused. Lilly began talking and Miley had a 'yeah right' look on her face. I noticed Jake walking towards them. When he reached them, he put his arms around each of the girls. I decided their talk was over and I wanted to know what was going on, so I walked over too.

"Discussing me?" Jake asked, smiling cockily.

Lilly shrugged his arm off her shoulder and stepped away. "I don't like you, Ok? Now I understand why Miley didn't like you in the first place! You are self-centered and cocky, and not every girl likes you!" Lilly yelled.

"Lilly!" Miley hissed.

"Come on, Lilly, you know you like me!" Jake laughed, like she was just kidding.

"No, I don't!" Lilly crossed her arms.

"Prove it." Jake crossed his too.

Lilly glared at him with cold eyes. "I don't have to prove anything to you."

"Alright you guys, enough is enough." Miley said.

"Just admit you like me, Lilly!"

"Jake, stop!" Miley tried.

Lilly was about to slap him, I knew it, but I held her back. "Chill, Lil." I whispered in her ear as I held her arms so she wouldn't slap Jake.

"You want me to prove it?" Lilly asked, like she had a plan.

Jake nodded, and Miley seemed curious too. Before I knew what was going on, Lilly turned around, grabbed my collar, and pulled me in for a kiss. I was so shocked. When she pulled away, my eyes were huge, and both Miley and Jake's jaws had dropped.

"How's that for proof?" Lilly proudly smiled and walked away fast.

I started stuttering. "I-she-me" I pointed to myself and then to Lilly, who was already way up the street. "Me…she! I-she…what?" I was a babbling fool.

Jake and Miley still had there mouths hanging open. They kept looking from me to Lilly (who was now almost out of sight).

Finally, I snapped out of it. "Ok, someone tell me if what I think just happened actually just happened."

Miley's dropped draw slowly turned into a smile. "It did!" she squealed.

"What did I tell you, man? What did I tell you?" Jake grinned, proud of himself.

"Oliver, what are you waiting for? Go talk to her!" Miley urged. "We're gonna go back and dance, but you go get your girl!"

"Good luck, man." Jake said as he and Miley walked back to the club.

I smiled bright as I walked back to my neighborhood. It took me a while, and it was kind of cold out, but I didn't care. I just got kissed by the girl of my dreams! It was the best day of my life!

I walked up to the side of Lilly's house and looked up. There was a thing attached to the side of the house that looked like it would break if I climbed on it, but it led all the way to her window. Not caring about falling, I climbed up slowly so I could talk to Lilly. There was barely anything to stand on, but I did it. Struggling, I knocked lightly on the window.

The curtains opened and Lilly appeared. "Oliver!" she said, opening the window. She grabbed my hands and helped me in. "What are you doing? You could hurt yourself!"

Not answering her I sat on her bed. "So you want to explain to me what that was about?"

"Oh! You must think I'm nuts!" she laughed and sat down next to me. She was now in plaid pajama pants and a black tank top. "I'm so sorry I kissed you, don't worry it didn't mean anything. I was just proving that I didn't like Jake."

I knew there was a catch. She really didn't like me. I pretended not to care. "Oh…yeah, I was wondering." I put on a fake smile.

"So we're cool, right?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah," I said, trying so hard not to sound disappointed. "We're cool." We hugged, and I turned to leave.

"Oh, you probably want your jacket back. Let me just find it." Lilly looked around her messy room.

"Nah, it's cool. Keep it." I told her, crawling back out of the window.

"You can use the front door, Oliver." Lilly smiled.

"It's fine," I replied, climbing out and down. I fell towards the end, but I didn't care. I stormed into my house and slammed the door behind me.

"How was-" my mom started but that's all I heard.

I ran up the stairs and slammed my door shut. I took out my walkie-talkie, and threw it into the closet, causing the batteries to fly out. I fell onto my bed and thought for a while. My window was open, and I swore I could hear faint sobs, but I dismissed the thought immediately.
