::Two Years Later::

"Oh my gosh, we're juniors," squealed Lily as she and Miley walked through the doors of their school.

Miley laughed. "I know. Only one more year until we're at the top of the school."

Lily squealed again and ran off down the hallway. Miley rolled her eyes at how eager she was and kept on walking down the hallway, when she felt an arm go around her shoulders.

"'Sup Miles?" asked Joe.

Miley smiled up at him. "Oh my gosh, we're juniors. Do you have, like, and idea how, like, exciting that is?"

Joe looked at her weirdly. "Huh?"

Miley laughed. "Sorry Lily's really excited, and I walked all the way to school with her talking like that."

Joe laughed. "Where is she anyway?"

Miley shrugged. "Somewhere. She literally ran down the hallway. Where's Nick?"

"Eh, I left him home."

Miley smacked his arm. "Why?"

Joe winced. "He was taking too long."

Miley rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Do you have your schedule?"

Joe nodded taking a crumpled up paper out of his pocket, and handing it to her.

"You're so neat," she said sarcastically. Joe smirked at her.

Miley looked at his classes and smiled. "All the same classes, as always."

"Hey Stewart, you look hot," yelled a guy standing by his locker looking at Miley. Joe glared at him and slowly brought his arm down to rest around her waist.

Miley looked up at him. "Do you always have to do that?"

"Do guys always have to call you hot?" he muttered.

She rolled her eyes at him. "I love you Joe, but what are you going to do when I get a boyfriend?"

Joe narrowed his eyes. "Search him, question him. Anything I possibly can."

Miley smiled slightly. "Well to be honest, I don't mind. I could use the protecting one day."

"You're always going to have it for as long as we're best friends."

"Which is forever," she reminded him.

Joe nodded. "Of course."

Miley stopped when they made it to her locker. "What about you Joe? No new girls?"

He shook his head. "Naw. No one ever really catches my attention."

Miley rolled her eyes leaning back against her locker. "Please. You're a teenage boy."

"I mean there's some really hot girls. But I don't really…like anyone."

"You're going to find someone sooner or later," she told him.

He shrugged. "Maybe. But enough about that stuff. We're going to the movies after school right?"

She nodded. "Definitely. Who's going?" she asked even though she knew the answer already.

"Just you and me."

"As always."

Joe grinned at her putting his arm around her shoulders again as they walked off to class.


So, not too much in this chapter.

I just wanted to show how close they still were.

And…I've typed up another 2 chapters for this story. So, so far I guess there's about 7 chapters. There's definitely more than that, but that's just how much I have typed up.

REVIEWS PLEASE?
