AN: IN THE LAST CHAPTER, THE TEACHER WAS MR CORELLI. I DONT KNOW WHY, BUT IT ERASED EVERY TIME I SAID HIS NAME. ANYWAY, JUST WANTED TO LET YOU GUYS KNOW!
Oliver's POV:
Stupid drama class. Stupid Jake Ryan. Stupid Romeo and Juliet. Stupid.
Miley's POV:
Jake and I are on our way to my house right now. We have been walking for about 5 minutes, and it usually is a 10 minute walk. Jake and I finally stopped blushing from what happened. I mean, it was so embarressing, but I hate to admit that I liked it. There was just something there that wasn't there with Oliver. Jake decided to start a conversation.
"So... I haven't seen your dad in a while. How is he?" Jake asked me.
"Eh, fine, I guess. You can tell he gets lonely sometimes, but Jackson and I try to be there for him when he is alone. We are actually hopeing that his new girlfriend, Carrie, will get to a serious point in their relashionship. They have been together for about 4 months now, and she is really nice." I told Jake.
"I hope she is the right one, aside from your mom of course." Jake added quickly.
"Yeah, me too. So, here we are. Remember any of it?" I asked Jake. He smiled looking at the house.
"All of it. How could I forget? Now, lets go and get our homework started." Jake said. I put the key into the key hole and opened the door.
"My dad is at work. He should be home at around 6. So, you can stay here with Lily and Dex, if they want to, until then." I said, walking over the the refrigerator.
"Cool. My parents are away on a buisness trip for the week, so I would just be alone with my big brother anyways." Jake said sitting down on the couch.
"Okay. Do you want a drink? We have Diet Coke, Mt. Dew, Red Bull, and Gatorade." I asked Jake, looking at our choices.
"I'll take a Red Bull, please." Jake said to me, smiling.
"So, your a Red Bull kind of guy, huh? Personally, I am a Gatorade girl." I said grabbing a Red Bull and Gatorade, sitting down next to Jake.
"Yep. I got to have my energy drink. Gatorade, huh? Well, that's interesting." Jake said before taking a sip of his Red Bull.
"Interesting...? Okay, then. If you say so." I said shrugging and smiling. Just then, Lily and Dex walked through the door.
"Hey Miles, hey Jake." Lily said to me, while going to the refrigerator herself, with Dex right behin her.
"Hey Lils. Hey Dex. Ready to get this play thingy over with?" I asked Lily and Dex. Lily nodded.
"Yes. Please, lets hurry." Lily said. Dex raised an eyebrow. I knew Lily wanted to get this done with before Jackson came home.
"Geeze, Lily. Don't be too excited." Dex said sarcastically. Lily rolled her eyes.
"Okay, lets just get started. From the top!" Jake said to me. Lily and Dex looked at each other for a minute, then I heard them talking. Lily and Dex were the first couple to reach the kissing part.
"I love you, Juliet." Dex said to Lily. Lily didn't waste time to get the kiss done and over with. She went straight to Dex, and gave him a quick 3 second kiss on the lips. And, of course, knowing our luck, Jackson walked in right before they broke apart. Of course he saw it. You know we NEVER get THAT lucky.
"Lily, what's up?" Jackson asked, walking over to Dex and Lily. His eyes narrowed at Dex. Lily panicked.
"Oh, uh, hey Jackson!" Lily said nervously hugging him, wondering if he saw anything. Jackson pushed her off of him.
"Lily, who is HE?" Jackson asked, pointing to Dex. Dex stood up.
"I'm Dex. And, who might you be?" Dex asked, giving no impression that the kiss wasn't real. Jake and I didn't know what to do.
"I am Jackson, Lily's BOYFRIEND." Jackson said, taking another step closer to Dex. Dex just smiled.
"Man, you are LUCKY! Lily is like, the BEST kisser ever!" Dex said smiling at Lily. Lily's mouth hung open. Her eyes were wide, and it was apparent she was frozen in the spotlight. Jackson turned to her.
"Lily, WHY were you kissing him!" Jackson asked Lily, obviously angered. Lily quickly responded.
"Jackson, it was nothing! Really! We just-" Lily said frantically before Dex interrupted. What was he doing?
"We just met at school, and we came over here to hang out." Dex said walking over to Lily. Lily backed away from him. Jake stood up.
"Dex, WHAT are you doing?" Jake asked Dex. Jackson spoke up again.
"You two just hooked up! At school! Today! What Lily!" Jackson yelled at Lily.
"We didn't hook up, Jackson! We were at school and we were in class together-" Lily started. Jackson just didn't give her time to finish. Oh boy.
"So it WAS at school! Lily, we are done! How could you do this sort of thing?" Jackson asked running up to his room. Lily yelled after him, but it was no use. I finally decided I should say something.
"Lils, I'll talk to him and tell him everything. Don't worry, it will be okay." I said, going over to a weeping Lily. Jake was staring coldly at Dex.
"Dude, why were you saying those stuff! You know they aren't true! What is wrong with you!" Jake angrily asked Dex. Dex shrugged.
"I don't know. It may not be true we hooked up, but I wish it was." Dex answered. Right after Dex said this, Lily's head snapped towards him. She quickly walked over to him and slapped him hard. Dex stumbled back.
"Don't you DARE say that! Get away from me, NOW!" Lily yelled angrily at him. Dex turned around slowly, and walked out the door. I heard Jake mumble "Jerk" under his breath. I went back over to Lily.
"Dex is such a jerk. Don't worry, Lils. I know Jackson will understand after I tell him what really happened." I said comforting her.
"Thanks Miley. I hope he will. I think I am going to leave. I'll see you two at school tomorrow." Lily said grabbing her bag. I waved her goodbye as she went out the door.
"Jerk. I really need to talk to Jackson." I said turning towards Jake.
"I think right now, he just needs to cool off. He'll be good in a few hours. Trust me. Guys ALWAYS need at least 2 hours to cool off after a fight before we can talk to ANYONE." Jake said. He sat back down on the couch. I sat next to him.
"Okay. I know Jackson will understand. He can be understanding. Now, we better finish this scene before you have to get going." I said picking up a script. Jake nodded.
"Okay. You start right here." Jake said, pointing to a line where we left off. I started back again, and it was once again the kissing part.
"I love you, Juliet." Jake said to me. This time, he said he differently. I am not sure what made it different... maybe softer, or deeper. We leaned in. We kissed once again. There were those fireworks. Man, it just seems like there is more fireworks each time. This time, the kiss lasted a good 30 seconds. We finally broke apart, both of us smiling.
"Wow." Jake said quietly, still smiling.
"Yeah, wow." I said back to him. We just looked at each other for a minute. Just then, my daddy walked in. Of course once again, perfect timing in my oh so perfect life.
"Hey Miles-Oh. Hello Jake. Haven't seem you in a long time. How have you been?" My dad asked Jake. He walked over to where Jake was sitting and shook hands with him. Jake grinned at him.
"I have been good, Mr. Stewart. Thanks. Yes, I know. It has been a long time. How have you been these days?" Jake asked politely. It is so sute how he can be such a gentleman. My dad smiled. Good sign.
"Doing well, doing well. Would you like to stay for dinner, Jake?" My dad asked him. I was surprised at how easily he accepted Jake. Espeacially since he came in when we were sitting pretty close together on a couch.
"I'd love to stay. Thank you." Jake said. My dad nodded.
"Anytime. How does speaghetti sound?" My dad asked us. We told him that was good, and he went to start the noodels. I looked over at Jake.
"Wow. I'm surprised at how quickly my dad has taken a liking to you, Jake. You must really impress him." I said to Jake, smiling. He smiled.
"Me too. I guess he just... I don't know. I don't seem why he would accept me that quickly. But, Okay. So, uh, how about we take a break on the homework for a while and just watch some TV?" Jake asked. He must have just remebered what happened. I nodded. He turned on the TV to MTV and we watched some music videos. Within an hour, dinner was finally ready.
"Miley, can you go get Jackson for me?" my dad asked. I nodded. This would be a good time to explain what happened with Lily to him. I went up to his room and knocked on his door. I heard a mumbling sound, so I took that as a 'come in'. I walk in.
"Jackson, dinner is ready." I told him. He was lying on his bed watching TV. He nodded.
"Sure. Whatever." Jackson said quietly. He sighed. I sat on the edge of his bed and looked at him.
"Jackson. This is what happened with Lily. We were assigned partners in drama class for Romeo and Juliet. Obviously, I iwas with Jake, and Lily and Dex were together. We decided to practice over here, and you just came in at the point in the skit where Romeo and Juliet have to kiss. It meant nothing to Lily! When you left after Dex told those LIES to you about him and Lily, he said he was just hopeing to hook up with her. She got really mad and hit him. She still likes you, Jackson. A lot. Please, just call her." I explained to Jackson. He looked at me.
"Miley, swear that is the truth?" Jackson asked me, sitting up. I nodded.
"I totally swear on my life." I said, putting my hand over my heart. Jackson stood up.
"Okay. I will call Lily. But first, we need to eat that SPEAGHETTI before it gets lonely!" Jackson said, rushing out of the room, downstairs into the kitchen. I knew Jackson was okay. Now, I just have to figure out what is going on between me and Jake.
