Chapter 8

The Homecoming Court

"Good morning class, the student government would like to show a broadcast of the winners for the homecoming court, as usual." Mr. Grayson rolled his eyes and rolled the TV in the middle of the classroom.

The class laughed and then Mr. Grayson turned on the TV for the announcements today. Two students known as Jayse Leong and Kristy Johnson were on and they started to talk.

"Today's special broadcast is because of the homecoming court and boy do we have a surprise for you." Jayse said. "Now announcing the 6th grade Princess and Prince are Justin Neilson and Kayla Lee."

"7th grade Prince and Princess are Michael Jenson and Lori Platt." Kristy announced.

"8th grade Prince and Princess are Mark Miranda and Katie Kaiue" Jayse said.

"9th grade Prince and Princess are Oliver Oken and Lilly Truscott." Kristy said. I turned around and looked at Lilly. She was ecstatic, smiling brightly and turned to Oliver planting a big kiss on him which caused everyone in class gasp.

"Congrats you guys!" I said and hugged Lilly.

"You guys deserve it." Jake said and slapped hands with Oliver.

"Now, Seaview Middle School, here are your Homecoming King and Queen, famous Zombie Slayer Jake Ryan and Miley Stewart!" Jayse said, "Now, I guess that they wowed everyone when they performed "Don't Go Breakin My Heart" at the talent show which caused them to have a bigger chance in winning." (Wow isn't that shocking :P)

'No!!! No!! Noooo!!!' I screamed in my head. 'I shouldn't have voted for myself dammit!' I slapped my forehead.

"Oh my gosh Miley, congrats!" Lilly threw her arms around my neck and hugged me.

"Yes man, we got it." Oliver said and patted Jakes shoulder.

Jake looked at me and he had a slight disappointed look on his face. It was obvious that he was going to win since he is the famous Jake Ryan, but why did I win? There are so many other good looking girls out there and they chose me!

"Hey Miley, congrats, I voted for you." Jarren turned around and smiled.

"Uhh, thanks." I frowned. I knew he voted for me, but who else?

"Thanks to all the people out there who participated in this. Well that's all that we have to say. Homecoming court meeting after school in the gym." Katie said and Mr. Grayson turned off the TV.

"Congratulations you guys! Wow, four of my students are in my class. Everyone give them a round of applause." Mr. Grayson said and clapped.

"Ugh, Mr. Grayson, I still don't see why Stewart and Truscott won." Amber said.

Lilly and I turned around and glared at her. She always has to ask the stupid questions. I rolled my eyes and turned back around looking at Mr. Grayson.

"Well, like they said, everyone really enjoyed seeing Jake and Miley perform which might have boost up Miley chances on winning, as for Lilly, you heard her and she was great and Oliver… I don't know why he won, but he won." Mr. Grayson smiled at the four of us.

"But it isn't fair! Miley didn't even want to be in it!" Ashley whined.

"Well Ashley, if you two aren't always mean, maybe someone would've actually voted for you!" Jarren snapped.

"Whoa…" I said. I was kind of shocked that Jarren actually did that to back me up.

"Ugh, we nominated you Jarren, so you should be happy." Amber said and I turned back around to see what Amber was doing. She crossed her arms and stared at us looking very pissed off.

"I didn't ask you to." Jarren said and then the bell rang.

"Good to know that you won." Jarren said as everyone started to leave the class.

"But I didn't really want to win. I don't even know how I won." I said.

"Well, let's just say that I know a few people that really really wanted you to win." He smirked and touched my hand before leaving.

I shivered and my heart pounded hard against my chest. 'And again, why does he always make me feel like this?' I asked myself. I walked out of the class room and caught up with Lilly, Oliver and Jake.

"What took you so long?" Lilly asked.

"Jarren had to tell me something and he didn't do anything, I promise." I said before they go after Jarren.

"He better not have. He yelled at Amber and Ashley, you never saw someone yell at them like that." Jake said.

"That was awkward." Oliver laughed.

"You could say that again. Scary Beautiful has guts yelling at them." Lilly said and they walked off holding hands.

"They're so cute. I wish we could do that too." I whispered to Jake as we walked off to our first period.

"We could, but then people would think I was cheating on Hannah." Jake frowned.

"Yeah I know. Sometimes I feel so selfish because you have to cope with me and hide our relationship." I said and he put his hand on my shoulder.

"Miley, it's totally okay, I really don't mind it so don't worry about it. We'll just go though this until you're ready to tell the whole world who you are."

----------------------------

After school Jake, Lilly, Oliver and I walked to the gym for the homecoming meeting. It was already starting when we got there which made us look stupid for being late.

"Okay, now that we have everyone here, congratulations on winning. Its good to see that you four again, after the talent show I would've thought that you all would think this was stupid." Ms. Allen said and pointed to us as we sat down. She was the coordinator of the talent show and homecoming.

"We wanted to end this school year by having fun Ms." Lilly said happily.

"That's good to know. Anyway, back to what we're supposed to talk about, for you 6th graders and other students that have never been to a homecoming before, we decided to make homecoming available for intermediate schools just as a preview from how it really is at high schools. High schools have really big things going on like football games, but I know that you will have a lot of fun with this."

"Ms. Allen, what do we have to do?" Jake asked.

"Good question. The boys will have to put together a dance for the ladies and the ladies will do the same. Both boys and girls will end up dancing together in the end though. It's like putting on a show for the students. Oh, but I have something I want you, Mr. Ryan, to do."

"And that is?" He asked.

"To sing to Ms. Stewart, any song you want since you are the King and she the Queen."

"Sure, that will be fun." He smiled.

"Oh my god this is so exciting!" Lilly whispered to me.

"Not for me, thanks to you I have to be in this stupid thing." I rolled my eyes.

"It was Jarren's fault! At least Jake is going to sing to you." She smiled.

"Whatever." I wasn't up for today. I hate that I'm the stupid queen and I hate that I have to do this. This is going to be a long slow meeting. I watched Ms. Allen talk about what we are supposed to do.

----------------------------

After the meeting we all walked to my house to look for songs to suggest that we would dance to, which was our only homework for homecoming.

"Don't you find it weird that Ms. Allen wants Hannah to come back and sing at the dance?" Lilly said.

"Yeah, it means more work for me if my dad says yes and I wouldn't be able to dance with Jake while I sing." I frowned.

"I can always go on stage with you and sing." He suggested.

"Maybe, if they let you sing, which they'll most likely let you do." Oliver said and put his arm around Lilly.

"Well, what are we going to do at your house today Miley?" Lilly asked.

"I don't know, you guys I still don't understand why you always have to come to my house now." I said and they laughed.

"Well, it's really simple. We don't want anyone to mob you and then do something bad to you." Lilly said as we entered my house.

"Who's going to mob who?" My dad asked. He was on the couch playing on his guitar trying to write a new song.

I started to laugh. "No one daddy, we were just joking around." I said and started to walk upstairs.

"Before ya'll go upstairs, Jarren stopped by. He said there was something important he wanted to tell you guys."

We stopped and turned around. "Do you know what he wanted to say?" Jake asked.

"No, but he said it was really important and that you call him right away." Dad said.

"Oooookay. We'll be upstairs, see you later dad." I said and we went upstairs.

"What do you think he wanted?" Lilly asked as we entered my room.

"I have no clue, but it might be important." Oliver said and sat on my chair at my desk.

"Or it could be a trap." Jake said sitting on my flower bean bag chair.

"I don't know. It could be about the whole blackmailing stuff. I'll just ignore him for the rest of the week just incase anything happens." I replied feeling a little worried about it.

A/N UGH I seriously have a huge case of writers block for this story and my We're only friends story.

Anyway, how do you feel about changing the point of view to a third person point of view in the last few chapters, but when it comes to Miley's part it will still be her own point of view, you get me? Like I'll put it to third person point of view just to make it more dramatic… but then when Miley is there it will be her own point of view…
