I woke up with a gnawing ache in my molars the day after my date party. Shane had continuously apologized for ruining the date. Actually, it was quite fun with everybody there. Hannah sang her song, 'Let's Chill'. She again asked me to sing with her. I happily obliged. Anyway, I got up from my bed and saw that it was empty except Hannah. She was staring at her laptop screen looking scared. I said, "Good morning" but she didn't hear that. I checked my watch and saw that it was 10 minutes to 8:30. That meant breakfast was already served. "Dang it!" I cursed as I rushed to the bathroom took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, put on my lip gloss and slipped into a blue sleeve-less top and a white ankle-length summer skirt. I was just going out of the cabin when I saw what Hannah was looking at in the screen. It was the picture of the brunette girl.

"It was her!" I called out nodding towards the screen.

Hannah looked startled. She turned to me and sighed. "I cannot keep this darn secret any longer! I cannot keep it from my cabin-mates at least." I gave her a quizzical look. What the heck was she talking about? She grabbed a strand of her hair and pulled it. It fell on the floor. Hannah looked like the girl who was in the cabin yesterday. Hannah was the mysterious girl.

"Hannah ..." I said incredulously.

"My name is Miley Stewart. I'm from Crowley Corners, Tenessee. I moved to Malibu with my dad and brother when I got a record deal and became an overnight pop star. But, I decided to live as Hannah and Miley so that I don't get chased by paparazzi in my everyday life. I admit I like the stardom but I also wanna be normal teenage girl." Hannah or Miley explained. I was dumbstruck. Hannah/Miley had just dropped a bombshell. But her story seemed ridiculous.

"That's crazy ..." I began but Hannah/Miley cut me off. "You cannot say anything about this conversation to anyone! My life depends on this secret." My view shifted to the laptop screen where the picture of Miley was still there.

"But that picture. Somebody took it. They must know that your ... uh ... secret too, I guess." I said as I sat down on Tess' bed.

Hannah sat beside me. She said, "It's Mikayla. Her favorite show is Gossip Girl and I'm pretty sure she's playing the Gossip Girl here." Mikayla, a gossip monger? That did make sense. She does she seem like that kind of a person. I rubbed Miley's shoulder. No way was I going to let Mikayla ruin my summer or my friends'. If Mikayla likes playing Gossip Girl, she'll get gossip that'll make her go down the drain. I grinned evilly.

"What?" Miley asked.

"Nothing. I'm just trying to figure out ways to get back at our little Gossip Girl." I answered. Miley laughed. Then she got up and sang a few lines from her song, 'Nobody's Perfect".

"What was that for?" I asked confusedly.

"Oh, I did that to prove it to you that I am also Hannah Montana if you were doubting the fact that I was her."

I smiled at her. I put my arm around her shoulder as she put her wig back on and left the cabin to get some delicious toast, bacon and eggs. Little did I know that a flash went off when I was talking to Miley when she hadn't put her wig on.


It was still hard to adjust to Hannah/Miley's secret. I didn't know what name I would use when I say something to her. Hannah or Miley? Tess found out that I knew at the mess hall. Hannah said, "She knows ..." but Tess seemed to not know anything and pretended to be unfamiliar with the secret. So, I asked Hannah to pass me the bowl of fruits addressing her as Miley. Tess choked on her orange juice.

"You told her?" She asked exasperatedly. Hannah nodded.

"No worries, Tess," I assured her, "I'm not gonna tell anybody." As if anybody would actually believe me.

"So, Mitchie, how's Nate?" Hannah asked me. I looked at her blankly, then I got the question. I nodded in he's fine way though I found it odd that Hannah was interested in Nate. But, that was none of my business. But, Tess thought it was her business.

"Why do you ask?" She asked with a crooked smile.

"No reason." Hannah answered. I saw that her face was growing pink.

"Then why are you going pink?" I asked inspecting her. She was trying to hide as much as possible.

She replied, "Uh, that's my new blush ..." Then she stood up and marched away from the table. She met Nate on the way. He looked at her concernedly, but she ran away from him. He looked at me and made a what's up face. I shrugged my shoulders at him. No way, I was telling him Hannah was developing a crush on him.


Okay, so this was short and stupid. I couldn't think of anything more to write. I'll put up a better chapter, next time.

Reviews please. I have 9. One more required for making it 10. Please please please review.
