Summary: Miley and Lily are determined to befriend the new boy when they feel he's hiding something. R&R
Chapter 5
Normal POV
The next morning, Oliver was awakened by both his parents. He had visible bruises and they didn't want anyone suspecting anything. He waited patiently for his mom to put some skin tone make-up on him.
He hated the thought of guys wearing make-up, but he'd be in deep trouble if anyone found out what his dad did to him. After his mom was finished he quickly got dressed in a long sleeve under a short sleeve Blink182 shirt and some jeans.
As he went to his locker he saw Miley and Lily standing there waiting. He had forgotten they had class together so they'd want to walk with him. "Hey Oliver, what's new?" Lily asked.
"Um nothing... we should go," he simply stated grabbing his books and shutting his locker. He didn't feel like talking that morning. Miley noticed the hostility in his voice but decided not to ask about it.
"I wonder what's wrong with Oliver. I mean he wasn't completely talkative yesterday but he's just completely dazed today," Miley thought taking quick glances at the boy next to her. He had his head down playing with some crumpled up paper.
"He probably had a rough morning... yeah that's it he had a rough morning. I mean not everyone's mornings are bright right?"
Lily noticed Miley was thinking about Oliver so she wrote a quick note. She managed to throw the note over by the other girls' foot. Miley looked down at the folded paper and back at Lily who was motioning for her to read it.
"Hey, are you thinkin bout Oliver Miles?" Miley nodded and wrote back. She waited 'til Ms. Zuniga had her head turned to throw the note back to Lily.
"Well yeah I am actually. Don't you think he seems upset?" Lily looked at Miley who had worried eyes. She then looked at Oliver. She shrugged her shoulders and pretended to be sleepy as a guess that that was what was wrong with Oliver.
"Ms. Stewart... Ms. Truscott? Is everything okay ladies?" Ms. Zuniga asked. The two simply nodded not knowing what to say. The class turned their attention back to Ms. Zuniga.
XXXXXX
Miley's POV
After psychology, Lily and I decided to wait for Oliver in the lunchroom instead of by the history room. We figured he knew his way here. He came over to us and sat down without saying anything.
"Hey Oliver, man am I glad to get out of that boring Spanish class," Lily said trying to start a conversation. Oliver didn't seem to acknowledge her or anyone really. I put my hand on his shoulder but moved it when I felt him flinch.
"I-I'm sorry Oliver I didn't mean to scare you I just-"
"No it's okay Miley I'm just... a bit out of it today. We um we should get our lunch,'' he said and got up from the table. I looked at Lily who looked confused. I shrugged my shoulders and went to catch up.
As we ate our lunch we listened to Lily rant on and on about how Mrs. Sanchez, her Spanish teacher, only picks on her because she "hates her". But Lily sucks at Spanish so I didn't blame Mrs. Sanchez if she was tough on Lils.
"So um Oliver didn't you just hate how long Ms. Zuniga took explaining geometry to us. It's like come on we know the stuff already right?" I asked him. He laughed a bit and ate some more peas to keep from having to respond.
"Huh okay you know what, what's the matter Oliver huh? You seem so quiet today as if you're not even trying to acknowledge us at all. What's wrong?" Lily asked. I punched her in the arm and glanced at Oliver who looked pretty upset.
"Look it's nothing I'm just... tired alright. I had a lot of work to do yesterday. I guess I'm a little worn out," he replied rolling his eyes. Lily could be a jerk sometimes but why'd she have to pick now to be one.
"Oh well we understand it's no biggy. Hey how about we take all that tiredness away and go to the beach after school," I quickly suggested.
"I-I don't know". That's when the bright idea hit me.
"Well... instead of the beach maybe you wouldn't mind hanging at my place after school. Lils are you in?" Lily looked just as stunned as Oliver.
"Uhh yeah I guess... Oliver?" Oliver was biting his lip nervously. What could be so bad about hanging at my place? Then again he was probably nervous because he just met us yesterday. I'd think it was weird too!
"Um yeah why not, maybe I can get my homework done on time," he stated and then the bell rung. This will be awesome. Oliver's coming over my house after school. This will probably give me a chance to actually get to know the boy.
I mean all I know is he has a little brother named Leo but that's it. He looked like the type of boy who had more to his life and I was gonna find out what! Does that make me nosy?
A/N Hope you liked it guys XD well... that's all I have to say lol not really an author's note type lol R&R :p
