A/N And again, this chapter contains some parts that happened in New Kid in School.
Chapter 3
Does He Remember?
I sat at Rico's with Lilly eating a soft pretzel.
"Hey Jackson, can I have an ice cream please?" Lilly asked and Jackson nodded.
"Tips are very welcomed." He laughed and handed her the ice cream cone.
"Ugh you wish!" She licked her cone and continued to talk. "I can't believe Jake Ryan is at my school!"
"Do you always have to talk about Jake Ryan? He's so stupid." I said irritably.
Today Jake Ryan came into my homeroom class and everyone seems to be so in love with him and it's so irritating! I thought he was going to be different, but I guess not. I still cant believe that he is the same person at that party, he acted so different and I still can't believe I kissed him!
I dropped my soft pretzel on my plate and Lilly stared at it. "Can I have it?" She asked and I pushed it toward her. She broke off a piece of the pretzel and dipped it in her ice cream shoving it in her mouth. "Yum."
"That is disgusting!" I replied and she continued to eat it like that.
"Oh my gosh, it's Jake Ryan!" someone shouted and we turned around finding Jake being mobbed by tons of people.
"People, people, there's enough Jake for everyone!" He said and everyone shrieked.
'Oh gosh he's seriously taking advantage of this!' I glared at him. 'He thinks he's all that just because he's famous, gosh. He's not the only famous one at that school you know.' I said to myself. Right then I felt like I wanted to tell people who I was, but of course I didn't, that would be too stupid of me. I don't want people to think that the only reason why I would say that is because Jake is there and I needed to feel loved like him. That would be low.
----------------------------------------------
I was heading to my locker when I saw Mr. Bram the janitor doing something with my locker. 'What the heck is he doing to my locker?
"Uhh, excuse me Mr. Bram; is there something wrong with my locker?" I asked quite confused as he polished a yellow star magnet that hung on the locker.
"No, no." He said and opened the locker. "I just thought Jakey needed more room."
The locker wasn't just one small locker then, it became one big locker, four of the locker doors connected each other. He removed the shelves that divided the top and bottom lockers and changed color of the inside from plain gray to purple with a type of fabric that looked like it was glued to the walls and the back of the locker door. It had a tiny bulletin board that hung against the top locker doors and on the inside was completely different. There was a tiny plasma TV that hung against the back of the locker with a speaker that you could connect your MP3 to. There was a mirror with a light on it and on the bottom shelf; there was a rack of Jake's jackets hanging.
"What?!" I was pissed off. Where the heck is my locker going to be now that Jake took over my locker and a whole bunch of other students lockers? This is totally un-cool. I stared at Mr. Bram in disbelief. How can he do that to a student? Isn't that some type of, like, rule against favoritism?
"Oh, Tony!" I hear a voice that had been haunting me since yesterday. I turned to see Jake walking this way with his fan club walking into the cafeteria probably saving him a seat. 'I should report "Tony" the janitor. He shouldn't do this to normal regular students like me. I mean, come on!' I shook my head at them, close to throwing a fit at them, but I held in my anger and I watch them start to some sort of weird hand shake.
"You the man!"
"No you the man!"
"No you the man!"
"No you the man!"
I couldn't take it anymore. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah! Great! Now who the man who knows where my locker is!"
"Oh wow, is this your…" Jake started and pointed at my locker giving me a sympathetic look.
"Yeah it's my locker!" I glared at them. I want my locker back!
"Don't sweat it Millie." "Tony" the janitor said and shook his head.
'Oh no he didn't just call me Millie!' I felt my anger level rise even more. "Miley!" I corrected him.
"Like it matters." He added bitterly.
"Hey man, don't need to be mean to her, I'd be happy to share the locker with her, if she wants to. I only asked you to get the squeak out, but instead you make it into a huge really cool locker. I really appreciate it, but if she wants her locker back, I'd be happy to give it back." Jake said and smiled at me.
'He's actually being… nice to me.' I was completely shocked. 'Why is he being nice to me… unless he…' I felt my cheeks warm up a bit. 'He probably remembered what happened at the party.' I turned away from his gaze on me before he noticed that I was blushing because of him.
"So, are you going to share lockers?" Mr. Bram asked me.
"No, I wouldn't want any of Jake's fans to irritate me with their questions on "How my life is sharing a locker with a famous person." I would rather share lockers with Dandruff Danny than with you!" I used air quotes and took the garbage bag which lay on the floor which I assume is my things and I left the place to put my things into Lilly and Oliver's locker.
My head started to throb. "I think I'm getting a head ache." I said to myself as my eyes grew heavy trying to block the pain from my headache away.
"Ooooh, looks like someone doesn't want to share lockers with the new celebrity classmate." I turned and then popped up Bree Young Zhusden Takahashi Samuels out of no where.
"Ugh! Whatever, you're not worth my time." I pushed pass her and headed toward the lockers. 'I am so not in the mood right now.'
----------------------------------------------
Here Lilly and I are at the beach sitting at our favorite part of the beach. I was dusting sand off of me when I told Lilly what happened during school today.
"Are you out of your head? You can't tell Bree Young Zhusden Takahashi Samuels off like that! That's like saying that shopping is for losers and you'd rather have a day volunteering and washing dishes at the kitchen place!" Lilly said completely shocked.
"Why should I even tell her my business? She's just another person wanting gossip just to get her name even more known. Anyway, why should I tell her my reason why I wanted to share lockers with Jake? It's not like he's all that anyway." I put my hands out on the beach towel and leaned back.
"You're just jealous because Jake is getting all the attention and you're not." Lilly joked and I snapped my head at her.
"No, why would I be jealous? I'd rather have a normal life rather than a life like him with everyone knowing who I am!" I said and shook my head.
"Hey, Miley! It's me Jake."
Both Lilly and I looked up at Jake and Lilly stared at Jake dreamily as he smiled down at us.
"I'm in disguise." He said with him only wearing a hat and sunglasses as disguise.
'Wow, you can tell that he tried hard to hide who he really is.' I shook my head. "As what, an ego maniac TV star in a hat?" I rolled my eyes and turned away.
He laughed. "You're lucky, if my ego wasn't big that would've hurt." He smirked then he looked serious. "Look, I was wondering if I could talk to you for a minute." He said.
"Sure." Lilly replied and continued to stare at him with a dreamy look.
"Umm… Sorry Lilly, but I meant Miley."
"No problem." She turned to me and with an excited voice, she said. "He knows my name!" then got up and left.
He crouched down beside me and I was getting ready to stand up. "Let me guess, you need me to move because I'm in your favorite tan spot right?" I got up and he got up as well.
"No, that's not it." He sighed. "I wanted to talk to you because… I wanted to see if you remembered anything that happened last week."
'Oh my gosh, he's going to ask me about last week Saturday at the party!' I then felt my cheeks warm up once again, like what happened when Jake offered to share his locker with me. "What do you mean?" I asked and looked down. 'I was ashamed of what happened, well, because of that one kiss. I still can't believe I kissed a total stranger who happens to be the famous Jake Ryan!'
"Well, what I mean is, do you remember what happened at the party at Amber and Ashley's house?" He asked and pulled me aside so that no one would hear us.
Before I could answer, a boy walked up to Jake. "Dude, you're Jake Ryan!"
"Uhh, yeah I guess my "disguise" didn't work" He glanced at me before giving the boy his full attention.
"Wow, shocker." I replied shaking my head and walked down the hill. 'What do I say to him? That yeah I remember kissing him, but not him? That I remembered him saying that his name was Aaron, not Jake Ryan? How did he even hear about Amber and Ashley's party anyway? Shouldn't he be at home or even out with his famous celebrity friends? Then again, I don't even go out with my friends.' I shrugged it off and then Jake caught up to me.
"Sorry about that." He said and then we stopped walking and looked at each other. "I just wanted to know if you remembered that night. When I saved you from that guy that was drunk… and then we danced… and then we…" He paused for a second and then sighed.
"Oh my gosh! AHH! Its' Jake Ryan!!!" someone screamed.
Just before the crowd of people drew us apart, Jake shoved his hand into his pocked and took out a piece of paper. He then slipped it into my hand. "Call me tonight!"
I walked out of the crowd and watch as Jake walked into the bathroom. I then looked at the piece of paper. 'Should I call him?' I asked myself as Lilly came up behind me.
"What you looking at?" She asked me and then I put the piece of paper into my pocket.
"Nothing. Lets go home Lilly." I said and we left. 'I have a lot of things to think about tonight. For example, should I call him or leave him hanging?' I sighed as we walked toward my house.
A/N I know it took me forever to update this. I'll try update this on Friday as well. So hope you liked it.
