"Miley I swear I didn't do it," she said putting her arms up to chest level.
That was the last words she got out before I curled up my fist, pulled it back, and lunged, only moments to be pulled to the ground, with Lilly still flinching. I was in panic. Why was I on the ground? Who does Lilly think that she is? I looked up to see Jake, holding my wrists so that he could stop me from punching Lillys lights out.
"Jake?!" I screamed.
"Miley you have to calm down. Let Lilly explain first," he said.
"No! I can't believe that I spent so much time being friends with her, when she can't even be a good friend back! Why would you want us broken up? Do you want Jake?" I asked.
"No! Miley I didn't do it!" Lilly objected.
"Well than who did?" I asked.
"Miley I don't know!" she screamed. She was getting horribly upset. "But I swear that it wasn't me!"
"You can drop off all of my stuff I've ever given to you on my door step. I'll do the same tonight," I said walking away.
"Miley, I swear, I would never do this to you," she called. I could tell that she looked at Oliver and Jake for help. Jake looked around awkwardly, and I'm pretty sure Oliver had his I-want-to-go-crawl-under-a-rock-right-now face. I couldn't be sure though, so I just guessed.
When I got home I took a shower, did my homework, ate some dinner, and laid out my clothes for the next day. It was sure going to be a long one. sszzzzhechchchchccccchhhhhh. lovely sound to wake up to isn't it? Well, I did. I turned it off, and got ready for school. I didn't bother returning anything that was Lillys, because she never left her stuff off at my house either. When I got to school the next morning, Oliver was the first to approach me.
"Hey Miley, so you and Lilly wanna-"
"Sorry, can't. Lilly and I aren't anywhere near speaking terms anymore," I said.
"When are you going to make up? I need someone to go with me to visit my brother in clown college," Oliver complained.
"Oliver, I'm sorry. Lilly and I will never be friends again. She destroyed my life," I said.
"Destroyed? Isn't that just a bit dramatic?" he asked.
"No! She took away the love of my life," I said.
"But you know that he didn't say anything bad, so why don't you just go back out with him?" Oliver asked.
"Because he probably hates me now that we got into this whole thing," I said.
"Wanna bet?" he asked me. I turned away from my difficult locker that I was trying to open, and looked at him.
"Hi Miley," someone said behind me.
I turned to see Jake.
"Oh hi Jake," I said not knowing if I should be peppy or, snotty.
"Well, I was just wondering, if you know, we were okay, like things where still okay between us," Jake said.
Huh?
"Um... I guess if you're okay with everything that's going on, than I have no reason to be mad at you," I said.
"Good. Does this mean that we're back together?" he asked.
I hugged him. Boy ain't getting no kisses out of me! Hugs will be fine for now. He returned it, and I walked to my first period class. But, while I was rounding the corner I bumped into someone and both of our books went flying everywhere. I bent down to pick them up without seeing who it was.
"Sorry about that," I apologized. I reached out for my book, just as the other person reached for their book right next to mine. That's when I reallized our identical blue green and red string friendship bracelets that we were wearing on our left hands. Lilly alert. She looked up at the same time I did, so I'm guessing she saw my bracelet.
"Look, Miley, I-"
"It's okay. I should've known you would do something like that anyway," I said pretending to blame me.
"Miley you know me, and you know that I wouldn't do that to you!" she said.
"How can you prove it?" I asked. She sighed as she thought. Than she took out her phone.
"Let's just check the time and day that it was sent," she said. She flipped through her messages until she got to that one. I looked over her shoulder at it.
"Thirty seconds to get to class!" someone shouted down the hall.
"Gotta go!" Lilly and I both said sprinting down the halls with everyone else, and Lilly closing the phone.
Mystery persons P O V
No, no, they can't look at the time and date of that message! I thought to myself. They'll find out more than they are supposed to know.
"Thirty seconds to get to class!" someone yelled. Miley and Lilly said something to each other, and than went their separate ways, just as I was going to go dive after that phone.
Phew, they aren't going to figure it out. yet. If I really don't want them to know, I really gotta steal her phone again, and delete that message so that they can't read it. But when? I'll steal it just like last time. When she's in her tutoring sessions on Wednesdays after school. Wait, isn't today Wednesday? Yes, it is. Today after school, I'm going to steal it, delete the message, and than put it back in her backpack.
The school day went just like I expected. Lilly and Miley ignore each other, I hang out with my people, and then the day ends. Eventually. When the last bell rang, I snuck off to Lillys locker to see when Miley and her were planning on looking at the message, and if I was unlucky, they'd have enough time to do that now.
"Hey Lilly," Miley said flattly coming up to her locker. I took a mental picture of the look on both of their faces.
"You ready to look at the message? It's not going to prove to me that you didn't do it," Miley said.
Lilly rolled her eyes. "Whatever Miley. Look, I have to go to tutoring sessions, so you can wait if you want, or I can go over to your house after school to show you," Lilly said.
"Figures," Miley sighed.
Lilly closed her locker.
"I can't be late again," she said taking off. Good, my plan was still capable of happening. I basically stalked Lilly to her tutoring sessions outside of the mini gym, and watched as she placed her backpack down at the wall, and allowed herself in to get it over with. Now was my time to go. I pretended like I was going over to the wall, looking for something. People where still filling the halls to leave.
"Hey what's up man?" someone asked.
I was startled, gave them a friendly greeting back, and went back to business. The hall was getting less crowded with every few seconds. It soon became minimally bare. I waited until the last little sixth grader left the corner from getting a drink. Than, I snook into Lilly's cell phone pocket on her backpack, and started to flip through the buttons, looking for where I could get to that text. The text I so badly needed to delete.
Where in the world could it be? Here it is! I found an option called messages and clicked okay, than went through them, looking for the one I had sent myself four months ago. I deleted it, put it back, and walked away, proud of what I had accomplished.
Another mysery persons p o v.
I was only trying to get a drink, after some little sixth grader did. I didn't mean to see what I saw. It was Jake, and he was flipping through Lillys phone looking through the messages. He than deleted the one 'Lilly' sent him. I know the truth now though. Jake was a total liar. He sent himself the message, but used Lilly's phone to do it. Jake put the phone back, and made sure noone could see him (I was hiding behind the corner) and than he left.
I Oliver Oken had the power to tell Lilly what's going on, and than Miley will be her friend again, and Lilly will love me. I had the power to make Lilly love me. I'm definatly using it to my advantage.
