Wow thanks so much for reviews and such! It's nice to know so many of you like my story. I got to update a little quicker than I thought, but I don't know much about updating later. Here's chappie 2!
Mileys P O V
The following Monday we were all back at school, dreading it because of our evil math teacher, Mrs. Pillykins. She isn't as evil, as she is creepy. One day she stayed home sick because her cat told her the demons where going to get her. The next day I saw her take pills. Creepy.
So anyways, of course a new day of school calls for another day of Jake. Jake. Noun. Obnoxious boy who has a big head and thinks he has a chance with me. You wouldn't believe how bad this boy is mistaking.
"Hey Miley," I heard his voice say as I shut my locker to go home.
"Oh great, I thought I actually made it a day without you," I complained.
"Yeah, I think we both know you don't really mean that," he said putting his arm around me.
"Um, ew," I said getting away from him. "And I'm sorry, but I won't go out with you this time either."
"Woah, slow down. I was just wondering if maybe you'd like to be lab partner?" he asked.
"What's the catch?" I asked.
"Nothing. Maybe you would just change your mind about me if we got to be together," he said.
"Uh, no, not going to happen," I said.
"Just think about it," he said giving me the little clicky gun thing with his fingers, and than rounding the corner.
I shuddered.
"Hey Miles," Lily said coming up to me.
"Oh hey. Jake asked me to be his lab partner!" I squealed.
"Cool!" Lily said.
"Cool? I don't think so," I said.
"Why not? He's totally cute," Lily said.
"Did you miss the part last Saturday night when I said that I liked Oliver?" I asked.
"No. Well maybe. No. It's just you and Jake would be such a cute couple," Lily said.
I shuddered again.
"Plus Oliver is all mine," she said.
We both laughed.
"Yeah right," I said.
"Hey we got measured today in gym. How tall are you?" Lily asked. "I'm a mighty 65 inches! I will rule the world with my lingering torturing muscles," she said flexing her arms.
I raised my eyebrows.
"You never know! I could be on the front of a wheaties box," Lily said.
"Remind me never to eat them then," I joked.
"You're mean! What did you get?" she asked.
"Hold on I got the slip they give you right here," I said taking it out of my pocket.
"Oh yeah me too," she said.
We took them out and exchanged them.
"Yes! A whole inch taller than you!" Lily said.
"Wow, you're a giant!" I said.
I looked back down at our notes. Than I saw something really wierd. I was ten pounds more than her. 10 pounds?
"What are you looking at?" she asked, tracing my eyes back to the papers to see what it was.
"Oh our wieghts. Hey look we're pretty close," she said.
"Yeah," I said trying to shrug it off. How could I be ten pounds more? I always thought that we were the same. Atleast we were last year.
"So you wanna come over for dinner tonight? Moms making her famous spaghetti, so the dog will be having some extra plates tonight," Lily said.
"Yeah- no. Yeah, I guess," I said changing my mind. "Wait no tonights not a good night. My dad wanted us together tonight," I lied.
"Okay. Well, Maggie is probably crossing her legs so I better get going. See ya," she waved.
"Yeah see ya," I said. I began walking. This whole wieght thing wasn't going to bother me much. I'd just shrug it off.
"Hey Miley!" someone greeted behind me. I turned to see Oliver.
"Oh hey Oliver, what's up?" I asked. so cute. Maybe now is a good time to flirt just a little bit.
"Nothin much. The final peice of peach pie ran through me at third period, and I had no warning so-"
"Stop!" I shouted. "I don't want to hear about your peach pie gas."
"It wasn't gas, it was-"
"Enough!" I said. "That'll be good enough for now, no need to go into detail."
"Okay, so what are you up to tonight?" he asked me.
"Nothin really."
"Well tomorrow I was thinking of having you guys over. I got this new movie that I think you would both like," he invited.
"Uh yeah sure," I said.
"cool. I'll call Lily later and invite her," he said.
We walked outside where it was raining hard, even pouring, when a pair of head lights came by as a car turned the corner.
"That's my ride. See ya later Miley," he said waving off.
"Bye," I called. He waved one last time and shut his car door before it zoomed off out of sight. I began waiting for Jackson, sitting on a cement handrail. I checked my watch. Any time from know and the next ten minutes he should be here.
In those minutes I had I began thinking. About Oliver, Algebra I homework, and even Jake.
Maybe I should be his lab partner and give him a chance. No, he'll think something too much of it. Well it would be fair. I checked my watch one more time. That boy had two minutes. Where was he?
I couldn't even get the question out into the open of my mind before his headlights turned the same corner that Olivers ride did, before he pulled up to the school. I put my books on my head to cover me, and ran to the car. Jackson was blasting 'Barbie Girl' and dancing to it, but just mouthing the words pretending he was singing.
"You were cutting it pretty close," I said.
"Oh be quiet. Just be happy I even pick you up on days where I have to be across town," he said. Jackson took classes a few blocks from here, which he for some reason considered across town. But it was only on Mondays.
I rolled my eyes and put my stuff down by my feet.
"So where was your posse?" he asked.
"You sound like dad," I mentioned.
"How is that?" he asked.
"Posse?" I asked.
"Whatever. You know you can always walk home," he said.
I shook my head. "That's not necessary. Oliver left earlier, and Lily left way earlier," I said.
"So where you all kissy face with Oliver?" he asked making the kissing noises.
"No! Why would you think that?" I asked him.
"Because the boy is obviously in love with you," Jackson said.
Yes! I screamed on the inside. If Jackson thinks so it must be true.
"Why do you think that?" I asked.
"I don't know. Just caught on to the little fella within time," he said pulling into the driveway. I grabbed my stuff, thanked him and ran inside the house from the rain, even though I wasn't wet in the garage.
"Hey Miles," dad greeted when I came in the door. "Any homework?"
"A little Algebra, but I'm fine," I said going upstairs to work.
"Okay dinner will be ready within an hour," he said.
"Okay!"
I got to my room and closed the door. Than I opened to my homework, but couldn't really focus, so I decided to pick out an outfit for tomorrow. I had the shirt picked out, but I was deciding between a pair of black boots with three buckles, or cordury clogs when the phone rang.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey Miley," the other voice said. I recognized it as Olivers.
"Hi Oliver. What's up?"
"Nothin. I was just bored so I was wondering what you were doing, because than I could do it too, and I wouldn't be so bored maybe," he said.
He called me?! Not Lily! Yay! No offence to my girl Lily.
"Um, talking to you," I answered.
"Huh. I'm flattered and all, but I don't think talking to myself will cure boredom. I'll just end up in the nut hut," he said.
I laughed.
"Try picking out what to wear for tomorrow," I said.
"Are you serious? Guys don't do that kind of stuff," he said.
"Sorry. Don't know what else to tell ya than," I said.
"Hold on," he told me. "Yeah, I'll take him for a walk!" he called to someone in the background.
"Okay I'm back. I gotta go though so Ginger can go out," he said. "I'll call ya later though."
"Okay, bye," I said.
I hung up and proceeded with my highly intelligent debate on which pair of shoes would go with tomorrows outfit.
The next morning when I woke up, I took a shower and got changed, making sure to put an extra spritz of perfume on, considering this is the day when lab partners are picked for the first quarter, and I wanted to be Olivers. Maybe he would pick me if I smelled better than Lily. I love her and all, but this is for Oliver. Wow, that sounded mean.
Anyways I walked downstairs and ate breakfast, and dad drove me to school.
"Okay so tell me, who's the perfume for?" he asked when we got out of the driveway.
"Noone daddy. Just wanted to smell nice," I said.
"Okay than," he said. "You'll tell me eventually."
Yeah right, I thought as I stepped out of the car. Today it looked like it would rain again, but it hadn't yet, so I figured I had better hurry as fast as my black boots with the three buckles would allow me to before mother nature changed her mind. As I got to my locker, Lily tapped me on the shoulder.
"Hey Miley! Wow, you smell nice," she said.
"thanks I-" I started, but when I turned around I saw that she was wearing make up. Like, more than eyeliner and some foundation. She was wearing mascara, and eyeshadow and everything. More surprising than that, she actually looked good. And she was wearing a mini skirt and a teeny tiny tank.
"Wow. New?" I asked.
"Yeah. Just to try it out," she said.
Bull crap. She was out to get Oliver as her lab partner, so she could steal him away from me. But I wouldn't let that happen. I just played it cool, since all fighting over Oliver, had to be sneaky.
"So, are you going over to Ollies today to watch his new movie?" I asked.
"Yeah. I'm also helping him with his homework afterwards," she said.
Was she trying to make me jealous? Yeah, she definatly was.
"that's cool," I said looking at the clock.
"Hey look it's almost time for first period so I had better go. see ya in third," I said running off. In reality we had enought time to talk for a few more minutes, but I didn't want to, because any plans she had of making where jealous where working real real good.
All through the annoncments and crap all I could think about was Oliver and Lily. Why did I call him Ollie earlier? Who knows, but why would Lily help him with his homework? Oliver is way better at homework than she is. I wonder if she asked him or he asked her for help. I know it's nothing to worry about, but I did. All morning. When third period rolled around (which seemed to take forever) I was estatic. Lily and I were the same difference apart from Oliver, so it would be fair when I beat her to him.
"Everyone take your seats," my science teacher said. His name was Dr. P. Noone knows what the P stands for, or why he's doctor. We're pretty sure he just thinks he's cool, since he's that kind of science teacher.
When everyone sat down, he went over some stuff that noone cares about our listens too. Or at least I don't. I stared out the window watching two birds fight over a worm. I felt like Oliver was the worm and Lily and I were the birds. I watched as one finally took over and got the worm. I knew I was going to be that bird. I named the worm wormie. Too bad I watched as my bird ate wormie.
"Okay, find your lab partners!" Dr. P declared. I jumped out of my seat and over to Olivers. I was the first one to get to Olivers desk. It just sucks, that even though that may be true, Oliver didn't stay there, and he didn't go in my direction. He went in Lilys.
"Hey Lily, you wanna be my lab partner?" he asked her. Lily looked at me with a mixed emotion face of pitty, and happiness at the same time. I felt tears forming in my eyes.
"Yeah, okay," she agreed.
Oliver is the worm in my life that gave all of my little birdlings food poisening.
On top of that, I got stuck with an even bigger food poisening worm. Jake.
