Okay, so sorry that I haven't updated in forever! I have been doing some major testing in school, and I have just been under a lot of pressure. Now that it is mostly done, I can get back to writing. I also just started a new story that I hope you read. It took me a while to figure out what I should do in this chapter. I hope this chapter is good enough to have waited so long for. Oh and by the way, this takes place a week after the big party! And one more thing... this is in Miley's POV. Enjoy:)

Chapter 12 (finally)

I tied my bathrobe, and walked sleepily out the front door to collect the mail and the newspaper.

I walked back inside, sat at the kitchen table, and handed the newspaper and the mail to her wide awake father. At least, he seemed wide awake. He was able to do that with a little magic called coffee.

When I picked up a plate full of food from the counter, I heard my dad say, "NO! NO! THAT'S BAD!" I quickly dropped the plate of food, thinking that it had gone bad or something.

"Not that, miles. Everyone knows you're Hannah Montana!" he shouted loudly at me. "This is terrible!"

"Oh good," I said, glad that the food had not gone bad, because I was quite hungry.

It took me a minute to realize what my dad had just told me, and that's when I said "Oh no!"

I ran upstairs, threw on some sweat pants and a tank top, and ran back downstairs. I jogged out the door, planning to go to Lilly's house, only to find Lilly standing there with a newspaper in one hand, and her other hand up in the air to knock on the door.

"Oh my gosh! Did you see what was not only in the newspaper this morning, but on the front cover?" Lilly asked excitedly. "Amber and Ashley will never be mean to us again!" She laughed, and then her smile faded when she noticed the not-so-excited look on my face.

"It's really, really bad. I've lost the trust of a really good friend, now," I said while beginning to frown quite a bit.

"You haven't lost my trust," Lilly said, thinking that I was talking about her. "And if it wasn't me, who could it possibly have been?" She put her finger on her chin as if she was thinking really hard, and then stopped. "I can't think of anyone."

"Not you, ya donut," I said rolling my eyes at my best friend. And yes, I do call people other than Oliver donuts. "I've lost the trust of Traci. She is the only one other than Jake that knows about me being Hannah Montana, and Jake would never tell." I sighed, not knowing what to do.

"Why don't we just go talk to her?" Lilly suggested. "Maybe we can straighten this whole thing out. I know that Traci would not do a thing like that."

"C'mon then, let's go!" I said as I began to run off in the direction of Traci's "castle". I grabbed Lilly be the arm, and started dragging her behind me until she started following me on her own free will.

By the time we reached Traci's mansion, we were panting like dogs. We walked slowly up the stairs because we had no breath.

We found her still sleeping peacefully in her bedroom on the fourth story.

I patted her gently on the shoulder in order to wake her up, but she continued to snore quietly. Then, I shook her a little bit, and she started waking up.

"Isabella? Is that you?" Traci asked in a sleepy tone of voice, thinking that I was her maid, Isabella. As she opened her eyes wider, she saw that I was not her maid, but someone that she hardly recognized.

"It's me, Miley... Also known as Hannah Montana," I said with kindness in my voice. She gave me a funny look, and I just smiled sweetly in response.

"Yes, you. I remember you," She said in her nasal voice. "What are you doing here so early in the morning?"

I looked at my watch. "First of all, it is not early in the morning... It's already 1:00 PM." I started saying. "And secondly, what's this?" I held up today's newspaper with two pictures of me on the front page. One was me with my wig on, and the other was without my wig on.

"Whoa! Who did that? I know it wasn't me, if that's what you're thinking. I've been sick all week and haven't left the house," Traci reminded me. "I'll bet someone sold those pictures to the newspaper just to get money. Those pictures must have gotten that person a fortune."

"Ashley!" my best friend and I shouted at the same time. "It couldn't be anyone else!" We looked at each other with faces that said "I am so brilliant!"

Okay, so how was that chapter? I am soooooo sorry that i haven't updated in forever. I will try to update more often now. Part of the reason I have not been updating is that I have been getting into a few minor fights with my friends, and I had to resolve them before I did anything else. Can I please get 10 reviews before I update? I'm going to stop writing if I realize that not many people like my story, unless the people that like my story REVIEW! Remember to take a look at all of my stories!!!!
