Fanfiction is acting REALLY stupid. This is the second time I've tried to update this story today.

Secrets Are Supposed To Stay Secret
Chapter 8: Based On A Lie

Miley watched her feet create footprints in the sand as she walked to the beach to catch up with Oliver and Lilly for a day of hanging out. When she got to Rico's, she was surprised to find only Oliver sipping smoothies.

"Hey Oliver," Miley said, sitting down next to him. "Where's Lilly?"

Oliver shrugged and put his chin on the table, "I think she's mad at me."

"Ok, what'd you say to her, boy?"

"Nothing!" Oliver said, getting up and started pacing. "Well, I told her..."

"What?" Miley asked.

"Nothing. Forget it," he waved off the question and sat down next to Miley.

Miley shrugged and looked around the beach for Lilly. She was nowhere in sight. To her right, a group of skaters came onto the beach from the parking lot. Miley saw Lilly in the mass of skaters.

"There she is!" Miley shouted. She skipped over to the group, all of whom looked at her strangely. Like the rest of them, Lilly ignored her. "Lilly!" Miley called again.

Lilly gave her a disgusted look and confronted Miley, "Get away from me, loser."
The skater group walked across the bridge and toward the skatepark down the beach.

Miley frowned and walked back to Oliver, "What'd you say to her?"

"Nothing!" Oliver exclaimed.

Oliver shook his head. He was just as confused as Miley.

Hannah smiled as Drew took a seat next to her on the normal-looking couch. Hannah smiled at the way he dressed, the way he smiled, the way he...EVERYTHING. He was perfect. Drew turned and looked at her, and she blushed in return.

"We're you admiring me?" Drew asked teasingly.

"No!" Hannah laughed it off. "What in the world made you think that?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's because you were..." Drew said, acting like he was searching for the answer. "Looking at me?"

Hannah laughed innocently again, "Sure." She got up and headed for wardrobe.

As she walked down the studio hallway towards wardrobe, she heard her name being called back.

"Hannah!"

She turned around to see Drew calling her to come back. She smirked and walked back to him, "Yeah, Drew?"

Drew sighed and put his hand on his neck. "I was just wondering, if, I don't know, you'd like to go out sometime?"

Hannah felt her heat skip a beat. Drew Evans, is asking, ME out. Me. Miley. I mean...Hannah out!

Hannah sighed happily and smiled, "Sure. That'd be nice." Hannah turned around and started down the hallway again and silently celebrated.

But...Drew had asked out Hannah. Not Miley. Hannah sighed and came to a decision.

I'm going to tell Drew my secret. I have to. It's not right to have a relationship based on a lie. No hiding anything from him. I just have to put all of my cards on the table.

"Drew, the truth is...I..no.." Miley sighed into her mirror. How was she going to tell Drew her secret? What if he didn't like her anymore after she told him? Miley looked into the mirror again and sighed, "Drew, you see, I have a secret. I have another identity. No, that's stupid!" Miley kicked the sink and sulked to her room. She slumped into the bed and groaned into the pillow. She longed for her best friend to tell her that it would be okay. But Lilly was mad at her for unknown reasons.

Miley felt her phone vibrate in her pocket. She picked up her phone and answered, "Hello?"

"Hey, Miley," Oliver's voice came into her ear. "What's up?"

Miley sighed, "Trying to figure out how I'm going to tell Drew my secret."

"You're going to tell him?" Oliver asked.

"Yeah," Miley said. "I have to. If someone's going to like me, they have to like me for all of me, not just Hannah."

Miley heard Oliver sigh. "Miley," he said. "There's something I have to tell you."

Suddenly, Miley heard her dad calling her, "Miles! Dinner!"

Miley sighed, "Oliver, I'm going to have to call you back. Okay?"

Oliver sighed again, "Okay, Miley. Later."
