Chapter 2

I'm Back

Oliver got out of his car and looked at the school he used to go to. It was his first day of school and it was exciting for him, he gets to see everyone he missed and in return, they'll meet a whole new Oliver.

He locked the door to his car and put on his backpack. He cleared his throat and looked at the school.

"Show time." He sighed and took the sunglasses he brought with himself from his bag and put them on.

There were ups and downs of this being his first day of school. One, he was a new student again; two people might not remember him, and three he has to go through introductions all over again. As for the good points, it had to be because he was seeing Lilly again and it has been a long time.

He walked into the school and noticed a familiar looking brunette standing near the entrance of the school. She was staring right at him and he shrugged. He was used to looks like that, but it wasn't the fact that she was staring at him; it was the fact that she looked familiar.

Who is she, ex girlfriend maybe? He pondered as he entered the school. He shook his head and headed for the office for his school schedule.

"I hope I have classes with her." He grinned as he walked up to the registration office.

----

Well, Oliver's first day sucked. He had to stay in the office for half the day, stuck with the principal telling him things he already knew of the school, and the policy. It was a boring morning and made it to only his last two last classes, plus lunch of course… He didn't know if he was in any of Lilly's classes, however, he did get to find out that he was in a few classes with people he used to hang out with.

He has yet to see Miley as well. He hasn't seen her in a long time, but has caught up with news about her, or Hannah Montana, from the TV and internet.

Oliver walked around campus, heading for his old locker. He asked to have that locker back and he got it, apparently, no one wanted that locker and it was fine to him. He left a huge mess in it when he moved to Seattle anyway.

While walking there, he passed a girl who was talking to a teacher. When he looked at her, she caught his gaze and smiled at him. She had brown hair, about his height, a little shorter of course, and was a very pretty person. Fit, tall, and beautiful. Maybe she was a friend or something, but it didn't register to him in who it might've been.

"Same girl from this morning. Hmm, why is she looking at me?" He asked himself as he looked away from her and walked ahead.

I haven't seen Lilly either; maybe she still has her old locker? He shrugged. He was hoping to see Lilly today, but if she wasn't here then maybe she'd be at home right? It kinda disappointed him, but he had to be happy. At least he's in California now.

While in Seattle, Oliver had been depressed just because of how his relationship with Lilly ended. She was his first and only love and he didn't want to let that go. He never felt so close with a girl before and now that he has, he never wanted to lose the feeling. The only reason why he didn't talk to Lilly was to surprise her with a visit. Of course it was his choice to move here and when he first asked his parents, he said he wanted to graduate with his friends.

His parents didn't allow it, but then when he told the real reason to his mom, which was to be with Lilly, she felt happy. His mom always wanted him to date Lilly and now that she knows how much Oliver liked Lilly, she'd do anything to make him happy. After a long talk with Oliver's dad, Oliver ended up moving back to Malibu, last month of the first semester, to his aunt's house, which was just a block away from his old house.

So much can happen in these months he and Lilly hadn't been together and he's, well, excited only because he gets to see Lilly. Ah, he sounded obsessed, but it's only now when he could only think of Lilly.

He turned into the hallway his old locker was and saw a blonde girl, looking dazed, staring at the other direction. As he walked closer to the girl, he heard her muttering to herself and then he could see half her face.

He gasped and smiled. "Lilly." He whispered and walked up to her, putting her hands on her shoulders.

She turned her body and said, "Matt, will you just go to-" She started, but Oliver ignored that once he saw that she finally realized it wasn't Matt, whoever she meant.

"Hey Lilz." He walked closer to Lilly. "I'm back"

Oliver put his arms around Lilly and held her close to him. That's all he wanted, was just to hold her. He missed this so much, just having her there with him and he always thought this was so girly, but it didn't matter. He could be a girlyboy for all he cared, he's with Lilly now and that's what matters.

----

"Oliver?" Lilly asked with confusion in her voice.

It happened too fast, Oliver's back, but she didn't know why he was back. She never thought she'd see him; she made big deal with forgetting about him as the New Year started and how here he is, hugging her.

She pulled away and looked at him in the eye. He looked, well, happy. He didn't tell her that he was visiting or… back, whatever that meant.

She found herself gazing back into those same big brown eyes she'd looked at so many times during the summer and felt something. She just really missed him and now that he was here with her, she didn't know how to react.

She put her hands on his shoulders and ran her fingers up his neck to cup his cheeks. She suddenly blushed and retracted her hands from his face.

"Sorry, I shouldn't-" Lilly started, but Oliver caught her hands.

"What's wrong? Come on; don't make it like you don't remember me." He smiled and put her hands on his shoulders.

"You're back?" She questioned and Oliver chucked.

"Yes I'm back, is it hard to believe?" He raised his hands to cup her cheeks.

Lilly shrugged. The only thing that ran through her head was that Oliver's back and she didn't know what to do with the Matt problem she has. She knew at that moment that Matt was only on rebound just because she never forgot about Oliver. She still wore Oliver's necklace for goodness sakes and she never bothered to take it off.

Oliver moved close to Lilly's face and caressed her cheek with his thumb. "I missed you." He replied and Lilly felt her cheeks head up.

"I-I m-missed you too." She stammered.

It just felt weird to say it. It was so sudden and so much was going through her head at the moment; she just wanted to sit down and relax, but right outside the school was her boyfriend waiting for her and that didn't help at all.

Oliver gazed at Lilly's eyes and noticed how uneasy she was feeling. He took a deep breath and placed a hand behind her neck, with his fingers lightly brushing against the sides.

Lilly slightly shivered, but she had to forget about that feeling he was giving her. She had to know why he was here and why he lost contact. She could just leave him or yell at him, but she didn't. She just wanted to know why, just like how it was in Seattle.

"What's wrong?" He questioned as he furrowed his brows.

Lilly took a deep breath. "Why are you here? You didn't call, you didn't tell me anything and you acted like nothing was happening-" Lilly started. She had a whole bunch of questions she wanted to ask, but Oliver pressed a finger against her lips.

"I'll explain later, but for now-" Oliver said, but soon was caught off by someone practically screaming at Lilly.

"Lilly, sorry I'm late I had to talk to Mrs. McCartney about this project I'm doing."

Lilly and Oliver parted and Lilly looked over Oliver's shoulder, seeing Miley walking toward them. Oliver moved to the side and Lilly stared at Miley. She knew Miley was staring at Oliver. She was fine with it; she had a lot worse to think of.

"Oh, well, umm…" Lilly started, she didn't want to say Matt's name in front of Oliver, but as Miley grew closer, she had to say something.

Miley stared at Oliver as she stood in front of them. She gave Lilly a knowing look and grinned. She nodded to Oliver and looked at Lilly. Lilly shrugged and dropped her gaze.

"Hey Miley." Oliver finally said, breaking the silence and waved.

Miley glanced at Oliver and gave him a weird look as she raised her eyebrows. "And you might be…"

Oliver chuckled. "Oliver Oken at your service." He winked and bowed.

Miley's eyes widened and instantly, she moved to hug him. "Oh my gosh, Oliver!" Miley exclaimed and hugged him tightly.

"I'm back to graduate with you guys, like I promised." He grinned and Miley pulled away.

"Oh my gosh, it's been a long time, wow." Miley eyed him up and down.

Lilly took this cautiously and stared at Miley. Oliver was back, but still, she had to watch out for what Oliver might say. Miley doesn't exactly know anything about her and Oliver during the summer. Plus, Miley doesn't even know Lilly's not 'pure' either.

"Isn't it awesome that he's back?" Lilly said in an excited voice.

She didn't want Miley to know she was a bit worried and confused for what she put herself through. She has Matt and now with Oliver back, she had to watch out for herself and she knew that it was going to get even more confusing.

"Yeah, haha." He cleared his throat. "How about we finish this reunion at Sally's or something, you know, sorta like a welcome home, we miss Oliver party?" Oliver said.

"Sure, it would be fun." Miley replied, only for Lilly to stop.

"I have things to do." Lilly replied and thought of Matt.

Matt is right outside waiting for me and I'm here with an ex boyfriend, afraid that I'm going to fall all over him again and I'm not stopping it. She shook her head and started walking for the entrance of the school.

The two followed behind her and watched her as she walked quickly. Oliver felt confused in why Lilly rejected his offer and suddenly started to feel far away. It wasn't like him to feel it, but it finally hit him that maybe it would've been better to call instead of avoid him. He already noticed a few differences in Lilly that he didn't like already.

"Why?" Oliver asked as he took a hold of her arm.

"It's complicated." Lilly replied only to shake her arm free from him.

"How is it complicated?"

Miley watched the two and was slightly shocked to see that Lilly wouldn't bring up the fact that she's seeing Matt.

"I'll just call you, or you call me, you have my number right?" Lilly asked and slowed down as they reached the door.

"Of course I do."

Oliver pushed the door open and was the first to step out. She eyed him and walked through with Miley trailing behind her, with Miley feeling utterly confused.

Oliver grinned as he let the door close and walked toward the sidewalk of the school. Just then a car pulled up in front of them and out came Matt Marshall.

"Finally." Matt said and walked around the door.

He eyed Oliver and walked in front of Lilly, who stood between Oliver and Miley. He planted a quick kiss upon Lilly's lips and grinned.

"Ready to go?"

Lilly bit her lip and nodded. "Yeah."

She pushed Matt back so that she could go to the car. Matt looked back at Miley and Oliver, waved at them, and walked to his car with Lilly. He shrugged off the fact that his girlfriend was talking to another boy, and went into his car.

Oliver and Miley stood there, watching as Matt drove off in his car.

"So Lilly's with Matt?" Oliver asked, sounding a bit confused.

"Well, you know of their on and off relationship right? Or is that after you stop keeping in contact." With that, Miley lightly punched Oliver's shoulder.

"Ouch." Oliver said as he put his hand over his shoulder and scrunched his face.

"Haha. Let's go to Sally's then, that's the least I can do since Lilly just ditched us." Miley said and hooked her arms with him.

"Yeah, let's" He sighed and looked over at Matt's car, which was now exiting the parking lot.

He sighed. So much changed while he was gone and Lilly didn't wait for him. Maybe it was possible that she got over him, but why would she get over him so fast? He wanted o talk to her, or needed to at least. It's what he could to just to find out what's going on with the two of them.

A/N Okay, here comes chapter two Lol. Sorry if it was a little off and I hope it didn't confuse you. Well, now that Oliver knows of Lilly and Matt's relationship, what do you think will happen next? Happy New year :)
