Miley's POV:
"Miley! Wake up!! Come on!" I felt someone poking my shoulder and was annoying me.
"Go away Jackson!" I screamed. The person threw a hand over my mouth and said,
"Shhh..." I opened my eye slightly and they widened in shock.
"Jake? What are you doing here?" I felt something poking me and turned over on my bed to see all the parts of the board game scattered everywhere.
"We fell asleep last night during the game! I just wanted to tell you goodbye before I left." Jake said quietly. I kissed his cheek and said,
"Bye-bye." before rolling over and closing my eyes.
"Um... 'Bye-bye?' please, I'm worth at least a 'Goodbye my dearest'!" I rolled my eyes and turned around.
"Goodbye my dearest Jake. Meet me at the beach tonight ok?" I asked. He nodded and said,
"I leaving the day after tomorrow...but before I go I want to show you something okay?" I nodded and said,
"Okay. See you later dearest Jake." He just smiled and quietly made his way downstairs. I smiled and shut my eyes.
I slept for about...oh lets say five minutes...before I heard a knock on my door. I groaned and said,
"Go away!"
"Its your Father!" Dad said. I sighed and said,
"Fine. Come in." He came walking in, holding Jake by the collar.
"Um hm...Look who I found sneaking downstairs a few minutes ago?" I smiled and said,
"...Well looky there! Its Jake Ryan! Hey Jake!" Dad narrowed his eyes and said,
"You wouldn't happen to know about this would you Miley?" I cleared my throat nervously and said,
"Um...No..."
"Then what was he doing here?" Dad asked.
"I...um...came to borrow The Giver we are reading it in L.A." Jake replied quickly. I glared at him as Dad said,
"Um Mr. Jake Ryan...Its summer. No school." He, being an actor, improvised. He rolled his eyes and said as though it was the most obvious thing,
"I Don't mean L.A. as in Language Arts, I mean Los Angeles, California!" I stifled my laugh and my Dad said,
"Oh I get it! You wanted to read the book while you were filming in Los Angeles!"
"Yea!" Jake said with a smile. My Dad wasn't smiling though.
"So...You can over at dinner time yesterday and stayed the night just to get The Giver? Man, it must have taken a loooong time to find that one little book." Busted. Jake started laughing and said,
"Do want to hear a really funny story Mr. Stewart sir?" Dad narrowed his eyes and said,
"Your funny is my stupid. But go ahead...I could use a laugh..."
"Okay so once upon a time there was a very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very-
I hit his elbow and whispered, "Get on with it."
"-very charming prince. And he liked a pretty princess-
I interrupted him there, "Hey, how come you get to be the very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very charming prince and all I get to be the pretty princess?" I could see a mischievous glint enter his eyes and I suddenly understood his plan. He wanted to annoy my Dad out of the room.
"Because, I am very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very fine! And your Dads in the room." he said.
"Oh okay so if my Dad wasn't what would I be?" I asked. He grinned.
"Oh in that case you would be very, very, very, very, very, very, very beautiful." he said.
"Hey! How come you had 9 'verys' and I only had eight 'verys'?"
"Ok how about this, we both are very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, extremely very, very, very, very, very, infinitive very, very, very, very-
"Oh forget it." My Dad muttered as he walked out of my room, holding his head. I started laughing like crazy and said,
"That was priceless." He laughed to and whispered to me,
"I think you're very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, extremely very beautiful. Don't let anyone else tell you any different."

OLIVER'S POV
"NO, NO, NO, NO!" Lilly screamed as she snatched the spearmint gum out of my hands. I jumped and said,
"Geez Lil, chillax." She dropped the gum back on the stand and said,
"I know...but I don't like spearmint..." I glared at her and said,
"That doesn't matter because its for me...Not you!"
"But I always end up stealing it anyway so why not get some I like?" I rolled my eyes and was about to tell her to buy her own stupid gum when she randomly jumped up in the air, screamed, and started laughing like crazy.
"Lilly, stop! People are watching!" I hissed. She was laughing as she dug her vibrating cell phone out of her pocket. She was still giggling as she opened it up and read her text message.
"Awwww..." She said.
"WHAT?" I asked as I grabbed for the phone. She rolled her eyes and handed me her phone.
Fr: Miiiiiley
OMG! Lilly guess wat? Jake just told me that I was ' very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, extremely very beautiful'...isn't that sweeet? lol I gotta find you a man...
I groaned in disgust and said, "Ew girl talk! Boooring!" She held up her hands defensively and said,
"Hey you were the one that wanted to read it." I crossed my arms across my chest and marched off to American Eagle like a 5 year old.
LILLY'S POV:
"Hey Oliver wait up!" I screamed as he ran toward American Eagle Outfitters. I finally just stopped chasing him and sat down on a bench in the middle of the Malibu mall. I sighed at all the passing couples, holding hands, kissing, and talking together. I groaned in frustration. I haven't ever really had a real boyfriend before. Well me and Oliver were sorta together for about three hours...but we were drunk so that doesn't count. I flung up my arms in defeat, finally accepting the fact that I will never have a boyfriend, when my purse flew off my arm and landed a few feet away. All my stuff was strewn across the floor. I let out a scream and jumped down to pick it up. That's when it happened. Someone's hand grabbed mine. I looked up into the face of the most unlikely person. And that was when all the rules of my life totally rewrote themselves. As I looked into his blue eyes, I knew that any feelings less than romantic were gone and replaced by feelings anything less than friendly.
"T-Thanks..." I muttered. Jackson smiled.
Maybe Miley didn't need to find me a guy. Maybe he was there all along.
