CHAPTER SEVEN: ONE ORIGINAL THING
Holy Smokes. Look at 'em…obviously Oliver
Lilly and Mile came walking down in their new dresses and boy did they look good. Miley in a light blue dress and Lilly in and medium green halter dress. But they had jeans on underneath…which was odd.
"FINALLY!" Jackson said, "C'mon let's go before all the girls miss us too much and decideee to move on."
"Pfft. Jackson, what girls would miss you?" Miley said
"The girls who actually get to the party on time. Ahduh. By the time we get there, we'll be at least 15 minutes late not accounting for traffic of course."
"Oh shoot Jackson you're right" Lilly said
"Well kids let's head on out," Robbie Ray said
Half an hour later…
"You kids have fun. Just not too much. I'll be back here around one o'clock and your parents can pick you kids up from there later on in the day."
"Kay dad," Miley said
"Thanks for the ride Mr. Stewart," they all said.
In Ben's crazy mind…
"Hey guys…why do you have jeans on?" I asked
"Ben It's like ten degrees out here, heck no Miley and I are gunna freeze to death for Jake," Lilly said
We walked into this big building and the music was crazy loud. The decorations were amazing and the room was basically filled with everyone from Seaview. All of a sudden Miley jumped on my back and Lilly jumped on his.
"No which one of you guys will be able to push through this crowd over to the food the fastest?" Miley asked
"On your MARKS, Get SET…GO!" Lilly exclaimed
And off we were, carrying Miley and Lilly, racing for…food.
I gasped, "Holy…"
"CAKE WITH A CHOCOLATE PUDDING MOAT," Oliver finished
We dropped Lilly and Miley and they started laughing so hard. We gave them some cake and continued pigging out. When Miley and Lilly came back later, we saw they had given pants to the coat checker to hold onto instead of a coat. It was funny, but I kind of felt bad for the guy because he didn't know what to do with the pants… it looked like he was going to do something, then he folded them instead, then he unfolded them, and then overall he just hung them up.
"You guys are crazy," I said
"Yeah well you aren't Mr. Let's drop everything for a chocolate pudding moat?" Lilly asked teasingly
I dabbed a small piece of cake and dabbed it on her nose, "Nope. Chocolate pudding moat is very important. It's be like… missing out on this party."
Then a group of girls came over and actually wanted to dance with me and Oliver. So off we were.
Lilly likes someone…
"Well there they go," I said
"Yeah, but look who's coming," Miley said hinting to the right
Johnny Collins and a bunch of his followers were heading towards them
"Hey Lilly. Miley. 'Sup?" he asked
"Eh not much. Just eating, talking…" I said trying to avoid eye contact with Matt
"So-uh you wanna… dance?" Johnny asked
Me and Miles both saw the death glare on Matt's face. Oh boy, what a night it's going to be
"Sure!"
I felt bad leaving Miley but I saw Rina had come to talk to her
Back to Miley…
"And youu must be Miley Stewart," Rina said
"Hey Rina, I heard you were here in Malibu, it's so great to meet you," I said while giving her a hug
"Yeah, Malibu is amazing. I love it here and so does my dad… so we're moving to California…the only thing is our new house won't be in Malibu."
"Aww where will it be?" I asked
"Los Angeles. I mean it's not that far, but I won't be going to Seaview with you guys…" she said
It's crazy because I just met Rina and she seemed to be so close to me already
"The reason why Jake and I were thinking of breaking up was because of the distance. And even though I'm living in the same state, I don't think it'll work out… do you?" she asked me
"Well if you really love him you know you'll always have each other and be able to trust each other"
"Okay then I'm breaking up with him," she said right after I finished talking
"What?!? You just got together like a couple days ago"
"I know it's just… Jake doesn't seem to like me. On our dates he always cuts it short because he's got a headache, he left something important at home, he has an important meeting with some agent when CLEARLY he doesn't since I talked to his manager right before and he said Jake was free for the whole day just for me… and then when my parents and I went to check out the new house… I met this guy… next door to us in LA…and I feel like we have-a connection with him…more than with Jake…you know?" she said after finishing her story in almost one breath, "Look I'm sorry I'm spilling this all on you, but back at the set when I first met Jake, he'd always talk about 'Miley' and you sounded like his best friend…so that's why I was wondering what you thought of me breaking up with Jake."
"Well if that's how you really feel. Don't let my advice mess up you and Jake," I said
"Hey guys," Jake said as he put his arm around Rina's shoulders. Lilly and Johnny were talking and Ben and Oliver were heading back to Miley.
"So what do you think of the party?" he asked
"Jake it's incredible," I said as someone's hands went over my eyes.
"Guess who," Oliver said
"Oliver."
"Nope," someone else said while flicking my head. I realize it was Ben and Oliver just said 'guess who' to throw me off. I slapped Ben on the shoulders back.
"So," Jake said...looking kind of uncomfortable, "Let's spice things up. Miley, truth or dare"
"Dare"
"Hmm let's see… what could be embarrassing," he thought and saw some people doing karaoke on the stage. And man were they horrible, "Why don't you go up there and sing something for us"
Oh no… what if… oh boy. Please don't make me sing something from Hannah. Please don't, pleeease don't.
"Ooo I love Hannah Montana. Sing something of hers!" Rina said. Stupid stupid stupid… well she doesn't know so I can't blame herr… aww man
"NO" Lilly, Ben and Oliver said at the same time. Lilly had joined the conversation
"I-uh I…I wanted to choose the song…how bout… One Original Thing! I heard it when Miley and I watched Aquamarine the other night." Amen for Lilly. Bless that girl
"Oh dude," Ben said, "Can I play guitar?"
So off me and Ben were. I played regular guitar and Ben played the electric.
Watch you got, what you got what you got, what you got
I'm lookin' around tryin to find me one original thing
Cause I've been walkin' so long I feel like just like the sails are gunna break
(You can find lyrics online I'm sure. If I post all the words it would take too long)
Everyone loved the song, obviously…but Jake looked kind of mad that it wasn't at all embarrassing. When I got off the stage Lilly was there and so was Josh
The next song was playing This I Promise You by NSYNC. Wow I haven't heard them in forever, but Josh asked me dance and Ben asked Lilly
As we danced I could See Rina breaking up with Jake. He seemed okay with it, but that was the problem. Rina saw he wasn't upset and it looked like she got madder. But then they were calm and gave each other a hug and danced… but they were smiling… so I'm guessing they didn't break up. And at that moment, Jake looked over and saw Miley with Josh and looked over to Lilly and Ben. That's when he had a huge smile beginning to plaster on his face.
