Chapter 9: Cheesy Omelet Man

"Still think I can't live a double life?" he asks.

"Jacob?" I whisper. As an answer, he pulled my into a short sweet kiss. Usually I'm against PDA, but hey, it's been two weeks!

"Actually, it's Jared now," Jake said.

"Well Jared, were you really filming in New Zealand?" I ask.

"Yeah, but I got the idea on the plane ride there. Since I was going to be gone for two weeks, I thought it was the perfect opportunity."

"You did all this for me?" I asked.

"I did this for us," Jake replied. I was about to kiss him, but Lilly got my attention by clearing her throat. Jake and I turned to her. She was giving me a look, the kind of look that said: what do you think you're doing?'

I turned back to Jake, who was doing so at the same time. Now, we were only an inch apart. I couldn't help but back away laughing. I found it funny that we turned at the same time. Jake did too, because he did the same thing. Lilly and Oliver were probably looking at us like we are crazy, but I don't care at the moment. Man, that was a long two weeks.

"Okay class, you will begin you finally exam now, it will count as twenty percent of your final grade," Ms. Kunkle said as she passed out the test papers the next day. "You may begin."

"Done," Rico said, almost immediately. "Sorry I took so long teach. I wanted to recheck my answers."

Finally, it's almost time for summer vacation, just three more weeks. No more Kunkle and her prison warden voice. Well, better work on this final, if I don't pass this, I'll end up in summer school. That means more of Kunkle and her prison warden voice.

I was walking over to me and Jake's- excuse me, me and Jared's locker. Hopefully, that won't raise any suspicion. When I was almost there, I saw a girl talking to him. By the looks of it, she was trying to flirt with him, but he was just putting his books away, not really paying attention to her.

I got closer, and listened to what the girl was saying.

"-And so me and some friends are going to the beach after school. Wanna come?" she said.

Jake turned to her with a bored expression on his face, but when he saw me, his expression changed to a bright smile. I love the fact that I can make him smile. I walked over to them and stood next to him.

"Actually, I have plans this afternoon," Jake said, taking my hand. The girl, rejected, walked away. "Man, even as Jared I still get girls asking me to hang out."

"Aw, too bad you're taken," I said.

"Yeah, you're right, come on my beautiful girlfriend," Jake said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and walking me towards the lunchroom.

"You're so cheesy," I said.

After school, Lilly and Oliver joined Jake and me as we walked to my house. Jackson had to go to work straight after school, so he couldn't drive us. Dad surprised us by saying he had a new song. I got Lucky Lulu and we all sat down and listened to dad sing the song.

"We all wanna believe in love. We all believe in something… bigger than just us…" dad finished.

"Dad, that song is awesome! It might be the best song you have ever written!" I exclaimed before realizing something. There was no 'Cheesy Omelet Man,' eggs, bacon, and cinnamon toast. This meant that there was bad news. "What's the bad news?"

"What are you talking-," dad said, trying to play innocent.

"Oh, please. Just tell me the bad news, dad," I said.

"Alright… your cousin Luann's coming to visit- who wants pie?" dad said.

"Again?!" Lilly and I shout in unison.

"I hope it's not cherry," Oliver says. "I was never able to get that stain out."

"It's apple," dad said. Oliver jumped up and ran to the kitchen. Jake sat there confused.

"Who's Luann?" Jake asked.

"She's my evil witch of a cousin that you were lucky enough not to meet in Tennessee."

"Listen to Miley on this one, Jake," Lilly says. "She looks just like Miley. She almost revealed Miley's secret at a Halloween party last year."

"Dad, what if she tries to reveal my secret again," I ask in panic

"Don't worry Mile, your Uncle Bobby said she'll behave herself this time," dad said.

"Aw man!" Oliver cried, taking a seat next to Lilly with a big pie stain on his shirt. We all laughed. The doorbell rang. Hmm, wonder who that is. I walked over and opened the door.

"Howdy cuz," Luann greeted.

"Hey Luann," I said, putting on a fake smile.

"And who is this," Luann said, seeing a new face. She walked over to Jake.

"Uh… Jared," Jake said.

"Well, nice to meet ya." She walked over to dad and gave him a hug. "Hey there Uncle Robbie."

"Hi Luann," dad replied. She then went to where Lilly and Oliver were sitting.

"Hey Lulu."

"It's Lilly," Lilly said, annoyed already.

"Right…" Luann said, turning to Oliver and smiling. "Oliver, right?"

"Yeah," he replied, grinning like an idiot. Was it my imagination, or was Lilly glaring at Luann now?

"Well, I'll see ya'll later, I'm gonna go unpack," Luann said before going upstairs.

"Okay… Lilly, Oliver, me and Jake are going to the beach. Wanna come?" I ask.

"We are?" Jake asked me.

"Yes, we are."

"Actually, Oliver and I have to go, bye," Lilly said before dragging Oliver out of the house.

"Bye daddy," I said as I hurried Jake out of the house. I rather not have to take Luann with us.

"Lilly was right, she does look just like you," Jake says as we walk to the beach.

"Yeah, so be careful, okay? She can look just like me if she wants to."

"Alright," Jake says. "She kinda dresses like you did in the sixth grade."

"Kinda," I say. "And please, like you didn't dress anything like that."

A/N: I wanted to get this up asap. Credit for the idea of bringing Luann back goes to wolfwhisperer.
