Disclaimer: Same thing as always.
A/N: Okay, so I decided to write two chapters in one day! I'm pretty sure that there are only gona be a couple of more chapters to go before I'm completely done. So, yea. Here's chapter eight!
I couldn't help but to stare at her. She was right in front of me. For a moment I though I saw her leaning in a little bit closer to my face; but I knew I was wrong.
"Oliver, why are you staring at me like that?" She asked. I snapped back into reality. I looked down at my desk.
"Like what?" Now she knows. She must have to be completely clueless to not know.
"You were looking at me funny before." She took her pointer finger and her thumb and put it under my chin. She turned my head to face her.
"No I wasn't." Okay, she knows for sure.
"Yes you were. Is there something in my teeth?" She reached into her backpack, and pulled out her mirror.
"No, you're perfect." My eyes widened. Did I just say that!? Miley turned to me. She raised her eyebrow.
"I mean n-no. You l-look f-fine. R-really, y-you l-look n-nice." Miley raised both eyebrows as if she was saying 'Did he just say I looked nice?'.
"You know what I mean Miles, right?" I felt myself growing hotter. Oh great, she defiantly knows. She shook her head.
"No Oliver, what do you mean?" Just then the bell rang. I'll tell you I think I never ran so fast in my life. Next I had lunch. Just perfect, no avoiding her there. Maybe I can stay in the bathroom or something. Yea, that's it! The bathroom! I walked, or rather sprinted to my locker, and put my things into it, and took out the things I needed for the rest of the day. Then I slammed my locker shut. I saw Miley walking down the hall towards me. Oh great. I looked around for a place to temporarily hide, and to my surprise, there was a bunch of people walking towards a bathroom. I threw myself into the crowd. Once the crowd got near the bathroom, I ran out, and through the door.
"Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! That's what you are Oliver, you're just so stupid!" I hit my head against the tiled wall. It hurt pretty bad due to the fact I already had a bump there from the locker incident. I leaned my back against it, and slid down onto the floor, despite the fact that the floor was the most horrible place on the world to sit on, but I didn't care. I continuously hit the back of my head on the wall. I sighed.
"Well, there's no going back now. Maybe I should just tell her. Maybe I should just come right out and say it." I stopped hitting myself on the wall. Yeah! I think I will! I mean it's not like she doesn't already know, so I just might as well come right out and say it. I stood up and began walking towards the door.
"Wait, no. I can't do it in front of the whole entire student population. What happens if I get nervous, or I mess up? Oh My Gosh, what am I gona say!?" I gripped the side of my head. I threw my backpack onto the floor, and fell back onto it.
"No, Oliver Oken does not fall down!" I quickly got back up, and paced the bathroom.
"Okay, so all I'm gona do is go up to Miley at the beach, and say 'Miley, I like you.' Yea! Perfect! The beach is better, cause I mean, it's close to my house so I can make a run for it if I mess up or something. Wait, no I won't mess up. I, Smokin' Oken, will not mess up!" Suddenly I slipped on a puddle of water on the fall, and fell back.
"I'm okay!" I yelled. I got back up to my feet, and picked up my backpack. I walked over towards the door. I pulled on the handle. It didn't budge.
"Uh-oh..." I pulled it harder. "That's not good." I tugged at it even harder. "Hello!?" I yelled. I tried to pull it even harder. I pulled until the tips of my fingertips became white. Finally, I heard a click. I walked out. There stood Lily, with her arms across her chest.
"Hi?" I said. Lily walked over towards me. Her face was stern. I gulped.
"How much of that did you hear?" She heard me. That meant that she would go rush off towards Miley, and tell her everything before I got to.
"Every word lover boy." She uncrossed her arms, and a grin spread across her face. She ran over to my side and started poking me on the shoulder.
"You like Miley, you like Miley, you like Miley!" She stopped and stared at me. I was confused. Why would she be happy? I mean didn't she like me? I suppose my expression said it all.
"You fell for it!" She yelled. I was getting even more confused.
"What!?" I asked.
"You fell for it! All these weeks and finally you cracked!" She let out a loud obnoxious laugh. I was still confused.
"Lily, what are you talking about?"
"You thought I was the one that liked you didn't you!?" How did she know that? "You though that I liked you! Oh my gosh, finally! I came up with this!" I raised my eyebrow.
"Lily!" I grabbed her shoulders. "What are you talking about!?"
"Okay, so a few months ago, Miley told me that she liked, you, and I, being the brilliant person that I am, knew that you liked her too, so I told her. Then I came up with a plan, because she thought you didn't like her the same way, and it would ruin your friendship ya di ya di yada. So the thing was I told her to tell you that I liked you, and then that would lead you into thinking that Miley wouldn't like you as more than a friend, because well I wouldn't want you to find out just yet. I mean I gotta respect Miley's wishes and everything; after all she is my best friend (next to you of course). So then she finally decided to tell you, but didn't know how, so then I came up with part two! That was today. She was gona act all nervous around you to give you hints, and then I knew…" She panted, and continued. "I knew that you'd wonder what was going on, and think that she did feel the same way, and then decide to tell her!"
I dropped my jaw. So all of this, was just a huge set up? This was just a plan to get me to crack!? I jumped towards Lily, and hugged her.
"Oh my gosh! Thank you Lily thank you thank you thank you thank you!" She gasped for air.
"Hey, get to your squeeze toy, not me." She said quietly. I let go.
"Sorry Lils. So you won't tell her right? Can I tell her myself?"
"Hey she's your gal, you get her yourself." I smiled.
The bell rang, which meant that there were only two more classes before I got to go to the beach. I couldn't go to Miley's house it'd be awkward walking. I'll just meet Lily and Miley at the beach then. Okay, my plan was set. I rushed to my next class, which was gym. I rushed into the locker room, and put my backpack onto a bench. All the guys looked at me like I was crazy, but I didn't care. I was going to tell Miley how I felt about her today, and it was all that mattered. Telling her was all that mattered.
A/N: Okay, so that was way shorter than my other chapters, but I kinda have to go because I need to study and do all that stuff. I'll try and update tomorrow, although I can't guarantee on it because my tests are like states. So, until then! Please read and review!
