Chapter 9: Gotta Go

"Well, this is awkward." I said after a minute of silence. The class laughed, making me feel a little bit better. I always like to get laughs, even if I don't mean to. But then again, who doesn't?

Finally, the bell rang and it was lunchtime. Lilly, Miley, and I began walking towards the cafeteria.

"Lilly, Jake said he has something important to ask me, and I think he might ask me out. And I will say no if you have any problem with him at all." Miley broke the silence.

"Miley, you know I'm fine with it. I don't like him, and I don't know why I ever did. So go for it, I'm really happy for you," Lilly said, and it sounded like she actually meant it. I hope she did.

Miley hugged Lilly so tight I thought she would break. "Lilly, you are the best friend a girl could ever have!"

Lilly laughed. "I've been told that!" I laughed at this because that was my line.

"So…" Miley started, and I knew that she was trying to get on the subject of Lilly and me.

So I cut in. "I'll go save us seats," I announced, walking one way.

"I gotta go buy lunch before the lines get too long." Lilly said, walking the other way, leaving Miley standing there confused and alone.

I sat at a table, waiting for Miley and Lilly, when Jake sat down across from me.

"Hey, man." Jake greeted, slamming his tray down on the table. "Cafeteria food sucks."

"That's why I bring my lunch." I laughed.

"So anyway," he started. Oh, here we go. He's gonna ask about Lilly. "How's Lilly?"

I shook my head. "Don't wanna talk about," I said, biting into my sandwich.

"Dude, what happened? I mean she kissed you, how come you're not going out?"

I chewed slowly before answering. "She was just proving a point, she doesn't like me."

"Well she sure acts like she does."

"Not really," I said.

"She flirts with you non-stop, dude!" Then he stood up dramatically. "How can you just let her play with your emotions!" he asked in the most dramatic voice I've ever heard. I gave him a strange look. Then he sat back down and began talking in a normal voice. "Episode 15: the hott blonde zombie kept sending this brunette zombie boy mixed signals, so I had to give him advice." He smiled cockily.

I just laughed and shook my head. At that moment the girls sat down. Miley sat next to Jake and Lilly's only choice was to sit next to me. "Hey boys," Miley greeted.

"Sup?" Jake asked.

"I love when you say that!" Miley flirted, twirling her hair.

"Well, I love saying it," Jake flirted right back.

"Anyway," Lilly started. "What grade did you guys get in gym?"

"She didn't tell us." Miley said, taking a sip of her drink. "But I think we were pretty good, weren't we Jake?"

"Yeah, we were great," he agreed. "Not as good as Lilly and Oliver though."

"Well I am a pretty beastly dancer," I said, trying to get over the awkwardness.

Lilly laughed. "You'd be nothing without me," she replied. Then she realized that sounded like we were 'together' so she added, "A-as your partner…y-you know for dancing."

"Right," I nodded. "Of course."

"Yeah," she nodded also.

"Alright, I have to say something." Jake stood up.

"Oh great, not another dramatic scene from 'Zombie High'." I laughed.

"No, this is serious," he said and we all listened.

"First of all, Miley, will you go out with me?"

"AHHHH!" Miley screamed. "YES! I don't even care if I sound desperate right now, this is great!" She jumped out of her seat and pulled Jake in for a kiss.

"Wow," Jake smirked once Miley pulled away and sat back down. "Now that that's taken care of, time for the second order of business."

We all looked up at him curiously. "What is it, babe?" Miley asked.

"Ooh!" Jake said. "I just got chills when you said that!"

"Will you get on with it?" Lilly asked. She was a very impatient person.

"Right, sorry. Oliver, what did I just do?"

I was confused. "You…asked Miley out?"

"Right," he nodded. "So what are you gonna do now?"

Uh-oh. He wouldn't say anything. He said he wouldn't. "Um…go get a soda?"

"Wrong. You're gonna ask Lilly to go-"

"Get me a spoon? Sure, Lil, can you get me a spoon?"

"Oliver you're done with your lunch." Miley said and I glared at her.

"What is going on?" Lilly asked, oblivious.

"Nothing!" I tried to signal Jake not to say anything.

"Lilly! Open your eyes!" Jake yelled.

"To what!" she asked, still confused as ever.

"HE LIKES YOU!" the whole cafeteria shouted.

My mouth dropped open, and Lilly looked confused. I can't believe they would all just say that! "I gotta go." I announced and ran out of the cafeteria.
