The Haunting

Chapter two: jake

The next day at school, the three friends arrived to their lockers to get ready for their class. While walking in to class, Jake walked up to miley.

Jake: Hey, Can we talk?

Miley: Umm…Sure.

Miley knew what was about to happen. in her heart she still liked jake but just something inside her wouldn't let her accept that. Oh how she just wanted to come out and say 'i love you jake and i'm sorry.' but things can't always be that lucky.

Miley: What's up?

Jake: Are you still going on that trip?

Miley: Yup, I handed in my permission slip already. Are you?

Jake: (under his breath) I am now.

Miley: huh?

Jake: Nothing. I just said, I am too and I can't wait.

An awkward silence filled the two as they just stood there waiting for one of them to break it.

Miley: Is that all you wanted?

Jake: umm…No There's something else.



Miley: Yeah?

Jake: Lately I've been thinking. I mean… (Sigh) Never mind. I'll just see you there. Bye.

Miley: Bye.

Miley thought of that small conversation the whole day. by the last period, everyone reported to leo's class for another session to get ready to head to the mansion.

Leo: Okay. Since all of you brought you're permission slips, it's time to discuss the exciting details of your trip. Now, you will be leaving on Friday. Is that okay with everyone?

Everyone agreed. Throughout the whole session, Miley felt someone staring at the back of her head. She tried not looking back until she was sure. When she felt it again, She tapped lilly to look over and when she did, jake was caught staring at miley. lilly gestured with her eyes to jake telling him to stop.

Leo: Jake.

Startled jake nearly jumped out of his seat.

Jake: Huh…what?

Leo: Could you pass these out for me please?

Jake: Oh yeah, sure.

Leo: Thank you.

Passing out the papers, jake was so distracted by miley's beauty, he didn't notice that when he was passing out the papers, he was passing them right on the floor.

Leo: umm, Jake? Is everything okay?

Jake: what…Yeah. I'm fine. Why?



jake looked down and noticed his mistake.

Jake: Oh, Oops. (Smiles) I'm just super stoked about this trip. Super stoked (Looks at Miley).

the session went on for about an hour and they all confirmed that the trip would begin on friday. Since the day was over, the gang decided to vacate to miley's for the rest of the day to prepare for the next day.

Oliver: What was going on with Jake today? Talk about jumpy.

Lilly: He wasn't jumpy. He was distracted by a little someone.

miley walked over to the kitchen and pulled out drinks for everyone. the look on her face was mixed with sadness and a bit of disappointment.

Lilly: What's wrong?

Miley: You guys, I know he wanted to say it. I know that he still likes me. I think that's why he pulled me aside earlier.

Oliver: Are you sure?

Miley: (Nods)

Oliver: Well that's nothing new.

Miley: What do you mean?

lilly and oliver exchanged glances as if they knew something she didn't.

Miley: What's going on?
