I was going to update later, but... I'm not. Kinda upset though, woke up this morning and discovered the power was off. And it was supposed to be off for 2 hours, but went on a bit longer, so I did nothing, fanfic wise. When the power came back on, I started and managed to finish one of my 3 projects that I have to do over term break. So just be happy I wrote this a couple of days ago...

Warning: Dunno why I'm doing this. Well, long chapter again(yay!) but Jake manages to upset Miley without doing anything to her. Weird, but she's not completely over him yet nor does she like the fact he's going out with Mikayla. Oh, and minor Mikayla bashing, but done by Miley. 'Nuff said.

Chapter 3

"Hey Mr. Stewart. Is Miley up yet?" Oliver asked the following morning.

"No, she's just woken up." Robby Ray said and held the door open wider for Oliver to come in.

"Do I smell… waffles?" Oliver asked and then ran to the kitchen where there was a plate of waffles, ready and waiting to be eaten.

"Had a feeling you were coming over. Dig in." Robby Ray said and then went upstairs. He walked towards Miley's room and knocked on her door.

"Mile, Oliver is here."

"Ok, I'll be down in a minute!" Miley said.

Be patient when you take forever to get ready.

"Ok, I'll tell him." Robby Ray then went back down stairs to see Oliver finishing off the last waffle that was made for him. "You should take Jackson up in an eating contest. And Miley will be a while."

"She said she was going to be down in a minute, didn't she?"

"Yeah. Listen, Oliver, I've noticed a change in Miley recently. Over the past two days, she seems happier than she's been in a while, since she learned about Jake and Mikayla. Do you have any idea what caused this?"

"Uh… nope." Oliver said and ate the last bit of waffle. Robby Ray nodded and then looked at the door as they heard a crash. The door then swung open and in came a skateboard, along with Lilly crawling on the floor.

"I couldn't stop." She said as the two looked down at her. She took her helmet off and jumped up. "So, is Miley ready yet?"

"She's going to be a while." Oliver said.

"I can't wait for her! I've got to get to school early! Miley will understand why I couldn't wait for her, won't she?"

"I'll tell her. Now go off to school Lilly."

"Ok, thanks Oliver!" Lilly said and put her helmet back on and skated out of the house.

"What's the best she's had too much sugar this morning?" Jackson asked as he came down the stairs.

"There exists that possibility." Oliver said as they heard someone running down the stairs.

"Sorry, I couldn't figure out what to wear." Miley said as she sat down at the table as Robby Ray put down a plate of waffles for her.

"It's ok, I can wait. Lilly on the other hand, couldn't. She had to get to school early or something."

"Aw, that was sweet of you Oliver." Miley said as she started eating. Oliver just shrugged and looked at the time.

"But we're going to be late." Both teens then turned to Jackson who was half way out the door.

"What?"

xXxXx

"You owe me gas money."

"Hey, you could start your own taxi company or something." Oliver joked. Jackson gave him a look while the other boy just shrugged, walking off towards the school.

"That Oken is a funny kid." Jackson muttered as Miley left him as well to follow Oliver in the school.

Be funny, but knows when to be serious.

"Hey Miley, how about we walk this way to the lockers." Oliver said, grabbing Miley's arm and dragging her away from the direction she was headed.

"Ok…" Miley said as Oliver looked over his shoulder. She looked too and saw Jake, waiting for Mikayla. She sighed, but turned to Oliver and gave him a smile.

"Don't let him bother you, he was a jerk anyway."

"Yeah, I guess. But it's just weird, I mean, usually when he's with another girl, it was to try and make me jealous. But now, it just seems…"

"That he really does care for Mikayla?" Oliver asked. Miley nodded as they finally made it to their lockers. Lilly was there, sitting on her skateboard.

"Hey guys! Glad you could finally make it!" Lilly said, jumping up.

"Too much sugar?" Miley asked Oliver as she opened her locker.

"Most probably."

"Ok, just because you guys are dating now, does not mean I'm going to take being the third wheel nicely."

"We're not dating!" Miley and Oliver said.

"Oh yeah, the trip to the pier was just as friends? And the teddy bear Ollie?" Lilly asked, looking innocent.

"Lilly, there is nothing going on. Oliver was just being a good friend and trying to get my mind off Jake."

"Keep telling yourself that. Would you look at the time? I've got to get to homeroom." Lilly said and sped off down the hallways.

"Someone must ban that girl from eating sugar." Oliver joked. Miley giggled as she got her books out and put them in her bag.

"We could do the same with Jackson." Miley said as she shut her locker. Oliver shut his and then two then slowly walked to homeroom, wasting as much time as they could.

Smile a lot.

"What's with the smile?" Miley asked. Oliver looked at her and shrugged.

"I'm just happy today."

"Oh no, you can't be serious? Oliver, we're at school. On a Monday!"

"Ha ha, very funny Miley." Oliver said, but the smile never left his face. Miley then smiled at him as she rolled her eyes and they entered their class.

Lilly, however, noticed the smiles on their faces and rolled her eyes. 'Clueless.' She thought.

xXxXx

"Let's go down to Rico's!"

"No!"

"You two are no fun." Lilly sulked as the three of them walked home after school. Well, Miley and Oliver walked; Lilly was on her board and would skate ahead of them.

"Why do you want to go down to Rico's? Didn't you have lunch?" Miley asked.

"Did you see what they were serving? Spinach on pizza, I think not." Lilly said as she skated ahead of them.

"She's right you know, that did not look like spinach to me." Oliver said.

"But you didn't eat that… did you?" Miley asked, making a disgusted face. Oliver shook his head.

"I actually brought along homemade lunch today. But I actually think that maybe going to Rico's won't be that bad."

"See, Oliver agrees with me!" Lilly said as they caught up with her.

"Ok, fine, we'll go. But I'm not paying for either of you." Miley said.

"Oh no, I'll try and con Jackson into giving me free food." Lilly said, grinning.

"How did you get power over him?"

"I've got Rico on my side." Lilly shrugged and then skated onto the boardwalk.

"I would be very afraid if I was Jackson then." Oliver said. "Rico and Lilly, teaming up? What is the world coming to?"

Miley laughed again, but stopped when she saw Jake and Mikayla sitting by the counter at Rico's. She watched as they kissed and she felt all the memories coming back to her, all the good times she had with Jake…

"Miley? Miley, are you ok? Earth to Miley." Oliver said, waving his hand in front of her face.

Realize he's being funny when he needs to be serious

Oliver then saw Jake and Mikayla. "Oh. Miley," He turned back to her, but she had run off down the beach. Oliver ran after her, calling out to her, but she didn't stop.

He finally managed to catch her, pulling her towards him. "Miley."

"Let go of me." She said and hit him on the chest.

React so cutely when you hit him and it actually hurts.

"Ouch." Oliver said, letting go of her.

"Oliver, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you." Miley said, wiping away her tears.

"Miles, it's ok." He said and pulled her in to hug her. Miley silently cried into his chest and Oliver stroked her hair, comforting her.

After a while, Miley pulled away and smiled up at him. "Thanks Oliver. You must think I'm stupid, crying over Jake. I mean, I don't like him anymore. But that was the first time I've seen him with another girl…" Miley trailed off.

"Miley, it's ok. I'll be here for you, no matter what happens."

"Thanks, you're a great friend." Miley said and looked him in the eyes. She opened her mouth to say more, but stopped. She closed her mouth and looked away.

"Uh… we should get back. Lilly…"

"Right." Miley said and started walking, but Oliver put his arm around her shoulders. Miley smiled again and the two walked back to Rico's.

And Jake wasn't even anywhere in her mind anymore. All Miley could think of was how sweet Oliver was being.

xXxXx

"Ok, so who is Jake Ryan?"

"My ex-boyfriend who I don't care for anymore."

"Good. Now Mikayla?"

"A cockroach?"

"Good enough for me. Oliver?"

Miley stopped pacing and bit her lower lip, thinking. How to define Oliver? Her best friend? But she wasn't sure she felt that way anymore.

"Miley, how do you define Oliver in your life right now?" Lilly asked from her bed.

"I don't know." Miley said, looking at her. "I mean, he's been so sweet to me these past couple of days, that I don't know how I feel about him."

"You mean… there's a possibility you like him?" Lilly asked, getting off the bed and walking towards her.

"Maybe… I guess so… I don't know! I mean, I still think of him as my best friend, but…"

"You're heart skips a beat when he smiles at you? You feel like you can't breath when he smiles?"

"Ok, have you been reading romance books again?"

"Maybe." Lilly said and shrugged. "But Miley, are you sure you don't like him? Living in denial is not good for you."

"Lilly, I said I don't know." Miley then walked over to her bed and sat down on it. "Could I get back to you on that?"

"Ok, sure. But how would you define me?"

"My best friend who should not be let near sugar."

"Ooh… Oliver said that this morning, didn't he?"

"Yeah."

"Call him Miles." Lilly said, throwing the phone to Miley. "Talk with him and find out what he's up to. Then phone me and tell me what he said."

"Who says he's up to something?"

"This is Oliver we're talking about." Lilly said and laughed. "Now I've got to leave, so phone your lover boy."

"Lilly." Miley said in a warning tone.

"Ok, fine. Second best friend. Whatever you want to call him. Now good bye, I'll see you and your donut tomorrow morning."

"Lilly!"

"Whatever Miley, you know it's true!" Lilly said and then closed the door. Miley shook her head and looked down at the phone.

"Lover boy." She said and threw the phone behind her on the bed. "My donut."

Ya know, it's true, Oliver is Miley's donut. Tee hee. Oh, some people have been asking me how Oliver is going to do the 5 hour trip and I just wanna say I've figured it out... as soon as I find out a place that is a 5 hours drive from Malibu. Help, or else I'm going to Google for answers.

Ooh, perfect Moliver, anti-Jiley song, is My Girl's Ex-Boyfriend by Relient K. I love that band and that song. I'm listening to it right now.
