A/N: Glad I did good on that last one. Although hardly any reviews on that, so I'm a bit skeptical...should I continue?
I stayed silent, still astounded by what I just said. What I just told Lilly was something inside me that I don't normally say. Personal feelings. I finally found my voice after about a minute. "I-I can't believe I said that, I-I don't usually say that stuff to anyone. How, how come I said that?" I babbled and stuttered real quick.
"Remember at the very beginning of the day, when you said you don't have any friends?"
"Yeah, well more like you got it out of me. Why?" I asked slowly.
"Well that's your reason right there. You need a friend Miley, everyone does. You're stressed to a point that you need too let things out and just say what's on your mind."
"Ha, yeah we covered that." I said jokingly. But what was her deal now? No jokes?
"I mean what you just said is normally something you'd tell a friend. Since you don't have one, it seems as though you're taking your feelings out on other kids by being mean to them when they talk back."
"Well that's kinda part of my rep." Hello, can't you remember a thing.
"Oh and these other feelings you didn't think you had, well you obviously do and you just told me what was on your mind. Your feelings are really bottled up inside. I mean it's no wonder you burst and didn't know it. Oh but I have to say, it's really cool to know that you feel that way about me. I'm honored." Lilly finished with a smile.
"Wow, since when did you become some sort of 'psychology doctor' about feelings?" I air quoted sarcastically.
"That's not what I was saying and not exactly the right doctor either." she slightly chuckled.
"Fine then, your point." I said.
"Really? I said it straight out. You didn't forget everything I just said did you?"
"Well you kinda talk fast. No I didn't forget anything. But that thought may have gotten jumbled."
"In other words you did forget." She stated dully.
"Yeah maybe." I said casually.
"So you want me to repeat it again?"
"Yeah."
"Because you wanna hear more of my sweet voice too."
"Yeah...what?" what the hell?
"Oh nothing. Maybe it's just me, but you kind of show a likeness towards me. I think it's because I'm the only person you've talked to, like this."
"Ugh, would you stop manipulating me?" I was more frustrated now.
"I'm just saying a simple fact that happened." She put her hands up in defense.
"K you know what, I've lost my appetite and I'm done eating with you." with the final word, I picked up my bag of food and threw it in the trash as I walked out of the lunch area. I had only drank my soda, but I had too say something in order to leave her.
I walked out of the school, through the parking lot and sat in my car. I still had a good 10 minutes left before lunch was over. So I turned the AC on and my music up. Then I rested my head back on my seat, waiting until I heard the bell ring.
The last 2 classes with Lilly weren't so bad. I actually fixed them in the best way I could, by sitting far in the back and away from her. As well as going to my locker when she wasn't at hers. When the final bell rang, I darted to my locker to switch my books for the day. Although the rest of the day didn't matter much, as it was just the first day of school and there was hardly any homework. Then I saw Lilly walking my way, but on the phone thank god. When I shut my locker, she shut her phone off and stopped me before I left.
"Hey Miley, wait a minute!"
"What now?" I groaned.
"Well first, why have you been avoiding me?"
"I just, I just don't want to keep saying things that aren't normal for me. You know like, like-"
"Personal stuff?"
"Uh right, that's the word."
"See I told you the reason, well my theory anyway, is because you met me and obviously feel comfortable enough around me to talk." she shrugged casually.
"Yeah I get it. And I don't want to start up again, because it makes me feel vulnerable and soft and just regular." I slightly smiled, looking to the floor. "Not so much of a tough girl you know... and oh my god I'm doing it again! Look I gotta go." I turned around to walk out of the school, but I heard her call after me and run over to my side as well.
"Oh yeah, about that, look I got a ride here and they just called and canceled, obviously thinking someone from school could help me out. So would you mind?" Lilly asked softly.
I turned to her. "You won't stop will you?" I let out a deep sigh. "Fine, just this once, but get a car or something." I said, picking up the pace and she hurried along side me.
"Oh I have one, it's just getting fixed. Some part broke, I forgot what."
Good to know, but what do I have to say about it? Nothing. When we got in my car and I started driving out of the lot, I asked her for her address. After that, the rest of the drive was silent. Thank god. I dropped her off without a word then sped away. It wasn't until I pulled into my driveway that I realized she lived about 4 short blocks away.
"Shit." I said to myself, then turned off the engine and walked inside.
The next morning I dressed the same way, pretty much like I always do, except for my short t-shirts. I love logo T's and have lots of them. Today I picked one with a giant peace sign on the front. The shirt was black and the peace sign was white. It also had a few zig zag marks along the sides of the circle. Giving it the effect of a broken peace sign. This is a cool shirt and short and tight as always. I clipped my hair up today. Then I quickly took off for school early, wanting to get a close parking spot and possibly avoid Lilly.
I pulled up to the school and into a space a few cars down from the front. Sweet. And it looks like a Mustang is pulling in the empty space next to my car. Even sweeter. I stopped my car and looked over to see who had the sweeter ride than mine. Damn, it's Lilly. My day had started out good, then suddenly jumped down to a bad start. I sunk in my seat, but I knew it wouldn't help.
"Hey Miley! My cars fixed." Lilly said as she got out.
No really? I didn't even notice that bright red vehicle you just drove up next to me. "Yes, yes I see. So that's what you had in the shop huh? It's real cool." I got out of my car too, then got my backpack from the back seat.
"Yeah it was only like a day, but I missed it so much. I love this car."
"I really like mine too, can hardly go a day without it." I nodded. Her shiny red car next to my black car, they looked pretty good together. Maybe making conversation with her isn't such a bad idea. Just as long as I can control what I say.
"So, you want peace now do you?" she said and gestured toward my shirt.
"In case you didn't notice it's shattered around the edges, so no actually, I'm not a fan." I told Lilly, then started walking and of course she walked right next to my side.
"Ok then, so why are you here early?" Lilly asked with excitement.
"Same reason as you, I wanted a good spot."
"Yeah that's right, geez this school gets pretty crowded."
"That's usually how most schools are Lilly." I couldn't help but smirk a little at her comment. Then I opened a door as we walked up to them. Inside there were a few other kids roaming the halls here and there. Hm, this is kind of cool.
"Are you laughing at me?" Lilly suddenly said.
"Huh?" it was the smallest smirk, how did she notice? "No I...well ok it was kinda funny, that wasn't exactly a smart remark you know." I said as I found myself walking to a nearby bench to sit down. It was long enough for me to lay down on, but once I sat down, Lilly made herself comfortable about a foot away from me.
"I know, I said it on purpose."
"Well what the hell for?"
"To try and get a smile out of you and it worked."
I paused for several seconds before speaking. "I really don't smile that much?"
"When we first me you did, but then you started saying stuff you didn't want to say and didn't smile after that."
"So why are you getting me to smile?" I was confused.
"Because I like it, I think it's cute."
"Um ok..." Yet again I was at a loss for words. What was with her? I always know what to say. "...what's with that anyway? I don't get it."
"Get what, what are you talking about?" she asked, completely clueless.
"I have always had an answer to what I'm going to say to a person, but you leave me speechless at moments. Then of course there are the things I say to you and I don't know why. Probably what you said makes the most sense. Plus I never usually talk this long with anyone." I sighed and let her talk. Now I was anxious to hear her.
"Ok I get it. Basically what it comes down to is your issue of not having a friend. Like you said, you can't help telling me stuff that you never would have thought of, and you're finding yourself talking to me more then anyone else. It seems to me, now that you have a friend, you just don't know how to deal with it right away."
"I know right?" I sighed deeply and leaned forward to rest my face in my hands. Then I thought about what Lilly just barely said and it suddenly clicked. I lifted my face out of my hands. "Wait, what?"
"You heard me." Lilly said with a smile and crossed her arms.
A/N: Review! Peace!
