Dedication: Jenny - this is for you. I know it's short, but I hope you like it anyway.
Jealous
Chapter Two: At School
"Ok," Lilly said as they went to school the next morning. "Why did we let those guys ask us out?"
Oliver said, "Because you said yes."
Miley rolled her eyes.
Then Lilly started panicking. "But we can't go out with these guys! We start going to the movies with seniors... next you know... we'll be going to basketball games with college guys. It's madness!"
Miley started laughing. "Hey - you were there too. Who sprinkled Drama Queen in your oatmeal this morning?"
Oliver quipped, "Ya know she's got a point."
Becca came up to the group. "Who's got a point? Hey, babe!" She kissed Oliver. "Sorry I couldn't come to the beach yesterday. Anything happen?"
Oliver waved to the two. "Ask them."
Lilly said, "Miley and I got asked out by a couple of seniors to go to the movies."
Becca's jaw dropped. "Oh my God, don't tell me. Wait, did one of them get some ice cream spilled down his shirt?"
They looked at her. "Not the guys who asked us out." Lilly said. "Kyle threw my ice cream on this guy... what's his name?"
Miley started but then Becca said, "Adam Parker?"
The two girls nodded. Since Oliver wasn't paying attention before; he didn't really know the other guys, just that they were good at sports. And girls.
Becca said, "Ryan's my cousin and he lives with me. We live next door to Adam - yesterday I asked what happened and Ryan said that Scott likes this girl but Adam got too close for comfort and since Kyle was a hothead, he threw an ice cream cone at Adam. And oh my God!"
"What?" All three chorused.
"Nothing... but it's just that... Scott Summers and Kyle Towers are like... okay - Scott is like Troy Bolton, and Kyle is like Chad; except they're A students too and Scott's dad is a doctor, not a gym teacher."
Oliver said, "And they're seniors."
"That too. You' guys are not seriously considering going out with the two, are you?"
Miley and Lilly exchanged looks, "We already said yes. Tonight, Westlake Theaters."
Becca shook her head. "If I were you, I'd call them ASAP and tell them I can't go."
Miley said, "Hey, relax. I wasn't really planning to go out with Scott... I just said it to make Jake jealous."
Oliver said, "So how are you going to get out of this date?"
"I'll just call him and tell the truth; that I totally forgot that don't like any of the movies out right now. PERFECT!"
Lilly hit Miley. "I can't use that reason too! Besides, I actually like Kyle..." She started daydreaming.
Becca said, "Not going to work; unless you guys want to go over to one of their houses to watch something in their movie collection. Besides, why are you trying to make Jake jealous?"
Oliver said, "'Cause apparently he has a new girlfriend."
"But, -" Jake interrupted her when he tapped Miley and said, "Hey guys!"
"Hi."
"Dude!"
"'Sup?"
"Hey, Jake!"
Jake smirked at Miley. "So, I guess I'll, uhh, see you at Westlake Theaters tonight."
Miley said, "Yeah! That sounds like a good plan... what?!"
She was about to follow him when Becca caught her wrist. Becca hissed out, "Whoever that girl was, is not his girlfriend, just remember that!" Then she pushed Miley toward Jake who wasn't paying attention.
Miley ended up tripping and crashed into Jake. "Whoa!"
It was a miracle that nobody but Lilly, Oliver and Becca were paying attention to the scene.
"Oops." Becca said. Lilly and Oliver started cracking up as silently as they could as to not draw a crowd.
Miley lifted her head. For some reason, the collision ended up with her on top of Jake. "Uhm, hey."
"Hey."
Realizing the time and place, she scrambled to get up. "Okay. So what do you mean, you're going to uhhh... see me at the movies tonight?"
Jake slowly got up himself. "Well, I just thought that Holly and I would have a good time seeing a movie too, so we might bump into you there."
"Yeah, but why Westlake? There's a theater in Agoura Hills." Suddenly pieces started to fall into place for Miley.
For some reason, the collision knocked some sense into her instead of make her lose brain cells.
Jake was dumbfounded. How could he explain this? "I... -uhh."
Miley decided to pounce on his speechlessness. "Wait a minute! Were you trying to increase the chances of us bumping into each other?"
He gulped. "Well -uhh."
Oliver produced three bags of mini-popcorn (popped, of course) from his bag and shared it with Lilly, and Becca.
"You broke up with Rachel... but you never said Holly was your girlfriend when you introduced us. Gasp Jake Ryan you were trying to make me jealous!" Miley crossed her arms, a triumphant smile on her face.
They started drawing a crowd. Chad the Chomper was even munching on popcorn from Oliver, who actually let him nick a few pieces from his bag. Lilly and Becca were chowing down, protecting their bags from Amber and Ashley.
"Was not!"
"Was too! Just fess up."
"What about you? Did you just agree to go out with that senior guy so you would make me jealous?"
"Nuh-uh I asked first. Admit it, Jake you like me!"
"No, you like me - just say it!" He moved closer.
Miley uncrossed her arms and moved closer. "No, you say it!"
And he moved closer. "No, you!"
Then she moved closer. "No, you!"
He couldn't take it. He took her face in his hands and planted one on her.
The girls and gay guys fainted. The guys' jaws dropped.
Oliver said, "Well smack me in the head and call me a donut."
Chad did.
