Hey everyone, thanks for the reviws. Sorry this chapter is kinda long. Enjoy !

Chapter 2

"Truscott?" A voice called.

I bolted up from my seat and rubbed my eyes. "Just resting my eyes." I replied.

He looked at me with a sorry-I-woke-you-up-but-this-is-school face. I nodded and he continued with the class.

I was so tired and hungry. My eyes were drooping and my stomach was growling. I dug through my school bag and luckily found a chocolate bar. I started taking off the wrapper until Mr. Corelli caught me. Wow, just my lucky day. Ugh, why did the wrappers have to be so noisy?! He reached out his hand and I placed the half unwrapped chocolate bar onto his palm.

"Truscott, what did I tell you about bringing food to the classroom? You should have eaten breakfast." He told me sternly.

"Well I would have if I had time" I said under my breath. Luckily, he didn't hear me.

He looked down at me with disappointment. "Are there any reasons for you being late, sleeping and eating in my classroom? This is drama class, come on."

"No, Mr. Corelli. I'm sorry." I looked down at my hands and I heard him let out a sigh. I could tell that he knew I was lying. Because there was something wrong.

"Very well. I'd like to have a few words with you after school though." He said. I nodded at him and he proceeded with the lesson about some guy named after a type of salad.

I felt a tap on my shoulder and I turned around. "You okay?" Miley asked me quietly.

"Fine, just tired is all." I answered her in a whisper tone.

The finally bell rang and I rushed out of class to go to my locker. I quickly punched in the combo and opened it. I smiled happily when I found a Twinkie lying around. My life saver! I ate it faster then Miley could sing the first line of "Nobody's Perfect." I wiped off the crumbs from my face and speed walked to my next class. I could've sworn I just heard a whole bunch of girls screaming. I shook it off and continued to make my way to class.

I'm sure Miley had seen me gobble up that Twinkie because she stopped me in the middle of the halls and handed me a granola bar.

"I owe you." I said.

She giggled. "Yes you do." I smiled at her and we departed separate ways.

When I reached my English class, I took my seat and grabbed out the granola bar Miley had just given me earlier. I finished it before the whole class came in and I was quite satisfied. I patted my belly gently and smiled at the fact that my stomach had stopped growling.

My English teacher, Ms.Roberts came in and greeted us with a big smile. She was a very tall and skinny woman. Her eyes were emerald green and her natural curly hair settled just below her stomach. She resembled a 25 year old version of Miley.

"Good afternoon class. Now, before we continue our lesson with Romeo and Juliet, I would like to welcome a new student we have in class today. Please, he is very new with all of this high school stuff. So, I want you guys to remain calm. Come on in Nicholas." She said very relaxed.

I knew who was coming. Thanks to the radio yesterday morning. Like anyone in this class is going to stay calm. There are about a dozen girls in this class, how can they just relax when there is a famous celebrity in the room? Geez, teachers these days.

"Oh my god, it's NICK JONAS!" One of the girls screamed.

A tall, curly haired teenage boy walked into the classroom slowly. I had to admit, he was very, very cute. He had a puzzled look on his face as he looked around the classroom. I felt kind of sorry for him. He was going to be facing a whole period of screaming fan girls.

"Okay everyone. This is Nick, and he'll be attending Seaview from now on. Please have a seat Nick." Ms.Roberts said, with a sympathetic smile on her face.

"Thanks Ms.Roberts." He answered shyly. He took a seat right in front of the classroom and I noticed that Amber and Ashley had made their way through the crowd of running girls who were trying to take the seats next to him. Okay, now I feel really sorry him.

"Hey there Nick! I'm Amber and this is Ashley. It's so cool that you go to our school! You can hang out with us whenever you want. We can be like, best friends!" Amber, the snobbiest girl in the school said.

"Oh my god, I can't believe I'm actually sitting next to THE NICK JONAS!!" Ashley, Amber's annoying side kick yelled.

By the time the poor boy could answer, the whole class erupted into loud chatter.

"How do you make your hair so curly like that?!"

"What's your favorite clothing brand?"

"YOU ARE SO HOT!"

"Can I get your autograph?"

"Your brothers are so CUTE!"

"Could you talk to my friend?!" The girl handed him a phone.

"WILL YOU MARRY ME AND HAVE MY CHILDREN?!"

That was it. I bursted out laughing so loud that I think I snorted. I laughed so hard that tears were actually starting to come out. Seriously, these girls were scaring him! If you just saw the look on his face, it was priceless. When I finally stopped laughing and turned to the class, they were all staring me down. I don't think they were very happy… I rolled my eyes and ignored them.

"Hey Nick, I'm Lilly. Welcome to Seaview. What's up?" I asked him with a friendly smile.

He looked relieved and smiled back. "Hi Lily, thanks. Not much, I guess."

I was just about to say something until Ashley and Amber stepped into our little conversation.

"So anyways, where did you get your necklace? Oh my god, I love your shoes! Do they have it in women sizes?" Ashley asked.

Nick looked over at me with begging eyes and I giggled. Poor guy.

"Enough everyone!" Ms.Roberts screamed. Everyone in the room stopped talking and faced her right away. She looked angrier then ever.

"Now, I will need someone to show Nick around the school. Anyone screaming will automatically get detention." She said stiffly. The whole class raised their hands.

"Um, Ms.Roberts?" A timid voice asked.

"Yes Nicholas?"

He looked really uncomfortable but continued anyways. "Can I please choose who?" He quietly asked.

"Oh, of course." Ms.Roberts answered happily.

"Uh…wo-would you mind sh-showing me around Lily?" I froze.

What the heck? Was he really asking me? Loser Lily? No, there must be another Lily in this class! I'm sure of it. Why would he ask me anyways? I turned around because he was looking at me. But, nope. No sign of any other Lily behind me. I raised my eyebrows and my heart started beating really fast. Nick Jonas was asking me to show him around the school. Wow, Miley is going to hate me so much.

"Um… sure." I said with a confused smile. He smiled back and Ms.Roberts nodded.

"Now that's settled, on to our lesson." She started talking about Romeo and Juliet but I didn't listen to her.

I was really taken back. I'm guessing it was because I didn't scare him like the other girls did. I find celebrities just like regular people. Well, since my best friend just happens to be a secret pop star!

The bell rang and I didn't notice it until I heard Ms.Roberts calling me. I walked out of class and surprisingly, Nick was waiting for me.

"Um, hey." He greeted me.

"Hi. So, how do you like Seaview so far?" I asked, trying to start a conversation.

"It's alright. Well, minus the crazy fan girls of course." He said playfully.

"You probably got it worst than Jake Ryan. But don't worry, just give everyone about 2 months and it'll get better."

"Wow, thanks for the heads up. Really helpful Lily, really." He smiled and I couldn't help but blush. We locked eyes for about 5 seconds until I turned away.

"Uh, well. I have a detention I have to go to. So, I guess I'll see you tomorrow?" I said nervously.

"Oh, yeah right. Sorry for the wait up. I'll see you tomorrow." He replied with a smile. He waved good-bye and I grinned.

I walked to classroom and sat there listening to his long lecture about how important sleeping early, eating breakfast and listening in class is. I never noticed how long he was talking for because I was a bit distracted. When he finished and I started packing up my things, I noticed it was 5:30.

"Shit." I cursed under my breath.

I started to walk faster until I bumped into someone and fell flat on my bum. I was too worried at the moment to notice who I bumped into. I started gathering all my books together when I noticed my English book was missing.

"Please god, no." I whispered to myself.

"Oh my, I'm so sorry. Here you go." I looked up to see someone that I thought was the last person I would've bumped into. Joe Jonas.

I felt my cheeks burn red as he handed me my English book. "Thanks." I replied shyly.

"Are you okay? I'm Joe, by the way." He smiled at me and I smiled back.

"Hi, I'm Lily. Nice to meet you." He reached his hand out and I shook it.

"Well hello Lily, let me help you with those." He offered.

"No it's oka-" He had already taken half of my books before I could argue.

Wow, Joe Jonas carrying my books? Today was definitely my lucky day. We stopped in front of my locker and I started to punch in my combination. I stopped and eyed Joe down.

"No peeking." I said.

"Aw man. Not fair." He whined. I giggled and finally opened my locker.

I placed my books in my locker and Joe followed suite. He looked at me with a smile and I raised my eyebrow.

"What?! Is there something on my face?" I asked, touching my cheeks.

He laughed and shook his head. "Nope, not at all…" We stared at each other for a second until we heard a voice in the hallway.

"Joe! Where are you man? Let's get going!" A familiar voice shouted. It was Nick.

"I'm coming dude!" Joe yelled back. He looked at me with apologizing eyes. I smiled and nodded.

"Guess I'll see you tomorrow then. Tell Nick I said bye too." He nodded and gave me a quick hug.

"Bye Lily!" He exclaimed as he walked off.

Did Nick and Joe Jonas actually acknowledge me today? I slapped myself on the cheek and shook my head. This definitely wasn't a dream. I snapped out of my trance when I remembered about getting home.

"Shoot. I'm in big trouble." I said to myself.

I gathered everything I needed and walked home as fast as I could. When I finally reached the front of my house, I sighed and prayed for myself. I took out my keys and tried to open the door quietly. Not much luck. Stupid creaking door.

"Where have you been?" A cold voice asked me.

"I was doing homework at school. I needed a little help on my work." I replied, my voice trembling.

He smirked. "No figure. You were always stupid anyways. But that is not a good enough excuse." He walked up to me and slapped me on my right cheek. It stung like hell.

"I-I'm s-s-sorry." I stuttered. My heart started pounding faster and faster.

"Well, sorry ain't gonna to cut it today." He stated in a rocky tone.

"Please, I'll come home early from now on. I promise, I will." I pleaded.

"You promise eh? Well, you know what young lady? Nobody keeps their promises." I could see his thin lips form into a grin.

He walked up closer to me and hit me again, a lot harder this time. I fell back and I could feel my face form a big bruise. He then moved next to me and I was scared for my life. He kicked me in the stomach countless of times and I could feel blood poor out of my mouth. Tears started streaming down my face as the pain struck through my body. After what seemed like forever, he pulled me by the hair and dragged me into my room.

"You stupid worthless piece of garbage. You better stay in this room unless I tell you otherwise. The only thing you can leave this room for is school, you heard? You step foot out of this room for anything else, and you'll wish you were never born. You won't be needing any food, you're way too fat anyways. You're the reason your mother's dead, you killed her. And I will never forgive you for that." He said stolidly.

I just sat there, crying and shaking. My own father did this to me. My own flesh and blood. Nobody knew he abused me. Not even Miley. I didn't tell anyone. I couldn't. Ever since my mom died, he had always blamed it on me. Everything I did wrong, I was abused for. He found every excuse just to beat me.

I looked in the mirror and more tears escaped from my eyes. My mascara was running down and my hair was a mess. I touched the bruise forming on my cheek and squirmed. It killed. I tried to get up but failed. My stomach was killing me and I felt like I had broken a rib. I continued sitting there crying my eyes out. I didn't understand. Why was my dad doing this to me? Was it really my fault that my mom died? I laid there thinking, until everything went black.

Oh no, poor Lily! It was hard for me to hurt her :( Well review and the next chapter will come soon! Hehe, hope you enjoyed it :) 3
