CHAPTER SEVENTEEN: Detention and Answers

"Hey, can you come over after school?" Lilly asked Miley. "I've missed you, we have SO much to talk about!"

"Sorry, Lil. I have detention." Miley groaned.

"Detention? For what?"

"No time to explain. I'll call you afterwards."

"See you."

"Bye." Miley started trudging to Mrs. Lylsenbury's room.

"May the force be with you." Lilly did the star treck hand thing.

"Wrong movies!" Miley laughed. (A/N: May the force be with you, is from star wars, and the hand thing is from, duh, star treck. Not that I like that show--back to the story!)

"I see that all of my prisoners are here." Mrs. Lylsenbury said, as Miley sat down at the only available desk, next to Jake. (A/N: Did he plan that?)

Miley couldn't believe it. She had never been to detention before and the entire room was full. Amber and Ashley were there...Miley guessed it was for chewing gum. Or giving fashion advice without a licence. Hehe.

"For those who have never been to detention, this is how it works...you sit, staring at the clock, not saying a word; and if you do, another detention! People, if you thought detention was fun, think again. This is punishment!"

"Marylynne Lylsenbury, please come to the office for a message, Mrs. Lylsenbury." The announcements said.

"Oh, drat!" Then she opened her eyes and mouth really big, like she had just said, "What the hell!" Or something worse. It was probably a swear word, in her day.

"I guess I have to get that." She grabbed her brief case and walked to the door, abruptly turning around. "And just because I'm not here, things should still go the same way, no talking, passing notes, anything." She left, her heels quickly clicking down the hall.

"Jake." Miley turned to look at him. "What's going on between you and Rachel?"

"Nothing, didn't you see her this morning? You're the only babe I love." He scooted closer to her.

"Jake don't do this." She pushed him away. "Don't lie to me."

"Rachel just broke up with Johnny, so she was upset and tried to get back with me. Friday she wasn't here, and she didn't talk to me Monday, so what you saw was the only thing that's happened between us. I don't like Rachel, I love Miley!"

Miley really wanted to believe those big, beautiful blue eyes, but she couldn't. Not yet. Especially after the kiss.

"You kissed her."

"No, she kissed me." That was the lamest excuse in the book. The book...? The Excuse Book? (A/N: Whoa, sorry. Random moment)

"Jake...I just don't know right now."

A part of her wanted to except what Jake was saying and have everything back to what they had...before...but the other half wanted to smack him upside the head and never see him again.

"Mrs. Lylsenbury's detention class can leave." The announcements called.

Everyone looked around wondering the sam question: Where is Mrs. Lylsenbury?

Miley practically ran out of the room with the rest of the herd. She pulled out her cell phone and called her dad. Five times. All she got was a headache from listening to the phone ring and ring and ring and ring!

"How am I going to get home?" She asked herself, frustrated.

"Jake to the rescue." Said a voice from behind her.

"What?"

"I'll give you a ride."

"What's the catch?" Miley asked, suspicious of her ex-boyfriend.

"Would you go to the premire with me?"

"What time is it?"

"It's at nine tonight, the movie ends at eleven, but then there's a party."

"I meant, what time is it NOW, you donut!" Jake checked his real-gold, real-expencive watch.

"It's five." A limo pulled up barley after the words were out of his mouth.

"Your carriage awaits, Madame." Jake opened the limo door.

"I'm not sure if..."

"If I give you a ride, you're not signing a contract saying you'll go to the premire." Jake coaxed her inside. "Think of this as one friend giving a ride to another friend."

That was all Miley needed to hear. That'll work. She thought. We'll be friends until I can figure out how I feel. She slid into the limo, and Jake slid in next to her. Miley dialed Lilly's number.

"Hello?"

"Lilly?"

"What is it Miley?"

"Meet me at my house in fifteen. I have a surprise."

"Okay, see you then. Lilly out."

Then, she called Oliver.

"Can you meet me at my house in 15 minutes?"

"Sure, why?"

"Don't ask, just come." She hung up and smiled at Jake. "Thanks for the ride." Miley told him as she got out of the limo.

"See you tonight?" He asked hopefully.

"Maybe. I'll call you."

"I'll wait."

Miley ran into the house, upstairs into her room, and grabbed the jewlrey box.

"So, what'd you want us over here for?"

"This." She held out the box. "Jackson, Dad! Get in here!"

Once everyone was ready, Miley opened the box, in it was...
