A/N Before you read this chapter, I would like to say sorry that the 9th chapter was like blah. I reread it and I noticed that it didn't even make sense! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and again I'm super sorry about the 9th chapter.

Chapter 10

Drama Class

I ran into the school about 20 minutes late. I missed homeroom and I was already 5 minutes late to drama just because I woke up late.

The only reason why I was late was because of the party last night. It was raging and everyone was just having fun. Jake and I stayed there really late so I wouldn't be surprised if Jake was late as well.

I walked into Mr. Corelli's class and it looked like everyone seemed to be partnering up for a drama exercise. I looked around hoping for Jake to be there so that I wouldn't be partner less, but he wasn't there so I was indeed partner less. Oliver and Lilly were there, but they were already partners. The center of the classroom had no tables or chairs because they were along the sides of the class which meant that we were going to probably perform or something today.

'Ohh well, I'll just sit on the side if everyone has a partner.' I lifted my shoulders briefly and then walked up in front of the class room to go to talk to Mr. Corelli.

"Mr. Corelli…" I tapped on his shoulder and he abruptly turned around.

"Why hello Miley, you're quite early." He said and put his hand on his belly and started scratching it.

I lifted my eyebrow at him. 'Ooookay then.' I shook my head and gave him the green slip of paper for my tardy pass.

He quickly looked at it and crumpled it. "Who here wants to be Stewart's partner." He raised his hand and looked around the class.

No one raised their hand, not even Oliver or Lilly, what nice friends. I shook my head and glared at them. They seemed to know that I would probably get mad at them so they looked away pretending to be occupied by something that hung on the window.

"No one? Okay, who here doesn't have a partner?" Mr. Corelli asked and someone raised their hand this time.

'Who is that?' I asked and found Jarren being pushed forward. 'No…' I stared at him disgustingly crossing my arms over my chest.

"Ohh, Mr. Clarkson, good to know that you are free and able to work with Stewart. Stewart, there's your partner!" Mr. Corelli said and pushed me toward him.

"Uh, its okay Mr. Corelli, I can just sit this one out, my doctor shot is making me feel a little woozy." I put the back of my hand against my forehead.

"Not taking any excuses" He said and then added. "I used that excuse all the time back in my day and now it won't work this time."

"Fine, but if I faint it's your fault." I mumbled and headed toward Jarren who was near the entrance of the classroom where a few of the chairs and tables were. 'I can't believe he's doing this to me.'(She didn't really go to the Doctors, she just said it just to make Mr. Corelli believe)

"Hi Miley." He waved at me once I reached him.

"Hey." I replied and looked back at Mr. Corelli as he called for our attention.

"I want you to turn to page 11 scene 2 on "Haunting of Hathaway House" and practice from Cynthia's entrance to page 12 at Brent's last line as he gets Cynthia a jacket and comes back finding Cynthia not there."

I looked at my paper. 'I can't believe Mr. Corelli put me with this jerk. God knows what he will try to do as we read through this script.' I thought as I flipped through the script looking for the page.

"Miley, do you think we can talk about something for a second before we read through this?" Jarren asked. "It's kind of important and we haven't really been talking for a while."

I looked up at him. Does he really think that I really want to talk to him? I shrugged. "Depends on what it's about." I replied and started to nibble on my thumbnail.

"It's just something important that I need to let out." Jarren said and looked at me with pleading eyes as if this was really something important he needed to talk about.

"I don't know…" I looked down at my lap not able to look up at him. 'What if it's about the black mailing stuff or what if he confesses that he likes me?' I shivered as all these questions ran through my mind

"Please, it will just be for a second."

"Fine, but if it's about something bad, I'm so leaving." I said bitterly and leaned back into my chair staring at him.

"Okay, I know about…" Jarren started, but as he said this, the door opened and Jake entered the class room. I smiled at him and he smiled back, but once he saw who I was with, his smile soon turned into a frown.

"Hey Jake!" Mr. Corelli said and walked up to Jake. They stood in the center of the classroom and you could hear what they were saying.

"We're just doing a drama exercise with "The Haunting of the Hathaway house." You don't need to do it." Mr. Corelli said. "You already do so much for us on Zombie High." He was fawning over Jake which was a little weird for a teacher to be doing.

'You don't even know.' I said as I stared at Mr. Corelli and shook my head.

"Thanks, I'll just go over there then." Jake said and walked over to us sitting behind me.

"Hey Miley, Jarren." Jake said and nodded at Jarren as he did the same thing.

Jarren didn't talk about what he was going to say after that. I guess it was because Jake was there.

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

After drama Jake and I walked to our next class which was music.

"Hey Miley, why were you that guys partner? Did you want to be his partner or something?" He asked.

"Why would I want to be that freaky guy's partner? Mr. Corelli put us together since he didn't have a partner." I said and slapped Jake's arm. "You actually think I would want to be his partner after all that stuff he did to me?"

"I guess not, but I just thought it was weird since, he did try to kiss you and then there you are talking to him by yourselves with not even Oliver or Lilly there to be with you." Jake said.

"Yeah, well Lilly and Oliver didn't want to be my partner. I understand that they're dating, but I just don't see why we couldn't just do a three part thing since that scene has three characters in it!" I said. Yeah I was mad at Oliver and Lilly for not wanting to be my partner and they know that Jarren might be the one that is blackmailing me and yet they just leave me there with him. They are so crazy seriously.

"I'm going to have a little talk with them during recess, but now I have to tell you what I found in your locker from... Him." Jake added dramatically and started to laugh. He reached in his bag to get I'm guessing the letter from my blackmailer.

"Not now you weirdo! After school when we go to my house. How did you get in my locker anyway?" I asked suspiciously and stopped, crossed my arms and tapped my foot on the ground waiting for him to answer.

"Well… uhh…" He looked at me and looked around.

"Jake Ryan, answer me now." I said pretending to sound mad.

"Fine, after you told me about your things, I asked Tony the janitor for your combination just incase another letter came in. I'm sorry!" He said and we started to walk again. "I was just really worried for you and look what I got now, a letter from that freako."

"I'm okay with it Jake, but next time you could be a little more considerate and ask me for it instead." I said as we walked into the class.

'I wonder what that guy wants from me now. I just hope it isn't bad.' I thought and sat down at my desk waiting for the second bell to ring.

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

After school we all were heading for the gym before I noticed that I left a CD I made just for this homecoming so I headed back to my locker telling Jake Oliver and Lilly I would meet them there. I decided to stop being a lazy ass and at least have fun while this lasted.

After I got the CD, I was quickly walking to the gym when I was being pulled into the janitor's closet. The person put their hand over my mouth and slammed me against the wall.

I was in total shock at this. I wanted to scream when the person that took me here started to talk.

"Shh Miley, I need to tell you something!"

The persons started to move from the darkness and into the light. My eyes widened seeing….

A/N What is going to happen next? I'm still completely sorry about the 9th chapter lol. Anyway I better be off then. Thanks for reading and reviewing. Ohh and sorry if there's any errors….
