Things Have Changed
Chapter 8
Project & Crushing
I couldn't believe how Oliver changed so quickly. A few months ago he was my best friend and now…now he was just this JERK!
And if things couldn't get worse, he was now hanging out with Amber and Ashley. Blah!
They were my enemies so I guess that made Oliver mine too.
I was then greeted by Lilly. "Hey Miles."
"Hey."
"If you don't mind me asking, what was that whole 'Miley Stewart I love you' thing yesterday with Oliver?"
"I have no clue! I hate him soo much!" I said with anger rising in me again.
"Really Miles, I mean I know he's being a jerk and all lately, but…"
"Lilly you heard him yesterday, obviously we aren't friends anymore, and he's friends with Amber and Ashley now, which makes him an enemy!"
"Whatever you say Miles." Lilly said while we walked into our homeroom.
"I mean it's not like I wanted this to happen, but it has, and we can't stop it."
"True." Lilly said agreeing, "Anyway, I heard we have a group project to do in health today."
"Fun." I said with no enthusiasm at all.
"yea, we have to pick a topic, like alcohol and write an essay about it."
"Can't wait for 8th period." I said sarcastically.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The day flew by. Oliver and his friends went on like they never said anything to me; Jerks!
8th period came and we were all in our assigned seats, when the teacher came in.
"Well class, I don't know if you heard but we are writing a paper." The whole class groaned.
"Glad to see you're excited about it." The teacher said then continued, "Anyway, so I will already put together the groups, so once I assign you, you and your group go ahead to the compute lab."
She told 2 groups at the moment, and Lilly was already in one.
"Kate, Rob, Chris, Samantha, Miley and Oliver…you're group 3! Now go along, get to the computer lab." The teacher said.
All I was thinking about though, was that now I hated that teacher for putting me with Oliver. I didn't want to work with Oliver, especially after what happen yesterday.
"Alright, so what are we writing about?" Oliver asked, as we settled in the computer Lab."
"How about just alcohol?" Chris suggested. Everyone nodded and we all began researching.
"Hey Kate, don't you agree that we should put this statistic in?" I asked her, pointing to my monitor screen.
"O My Gosh! Yea that's awesome, it would really bring the point home for not drinking! Hey Oliver…" O no, what is she doing! "Listen to Miley, she's smart!" thanks Kate! I was so embarrassed, but I don't even think he paid much attention to her.
"should I tell him?" I asked Kate.
"YEA!" So I guess I should.
I tried to open my mouth to call his name, but I just couldn't. His name was so foreign now, and had so much hate behind it for me. Finally I called his name and he looked at me. "I think at the end we should put this statistic in the paper." I told him showing the statistic.
He nodded, and said, "yea okay, you're in out group though? O yea, you are!" He said and laughed at himself, with Chris, Rob, and Jamie laughing with him.
I steamed up again, and sat down. I was now mad at him even more!
"How about everyone just write their own paper and we will just edit it all later, alright?" Oliver suggested, and we began to write.
I wrote an introduction, and my conclusion idea, and decided to stop, since I didn't feel like writing anymore.
"I know that this might take sometime but, Thursday…this is due." The teacher reminded us.
"Everybody e-mail me what you wrote just now and I'll edit everything for Thursday." Oliver said and we all did it.
It was weird seeing Oliver being so responsible, but I'm not complaining because I don't want to write the thing.
The bell rang and me and Kate were walking to the buses. "Urghh, I hate our health teacher!"
"Why?"
"Because, she just had to partner me up with Oliver; I hate him!"
"Why, Oliver is so funny, he's in all my classes and he's such a nice guy!" I guess she hasn't seen the jerk side of him yet!
"Whatever, I just don't like him!"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How can anyone still have a crush on someone after a situation like me and Oliver's? I can tell you…me! That's right I for some odd strange reason like him. I don't know how someone can make fun of me and suddenly a few days later I'm crushing on the jerk still.
It started just an hour ago when I came into the school. I went the staircase to get to my locker. When I reached to the second floor he was right there, and he looked over at me, and I looked at him, for that split second it all seemed slow-mo.
I drew myself away from the gaze and walked to my locker. My heart was beating so rapidly, I thought my heart was going to explode. I placed my hand over my heart and tried to control my heavy breathing.
I couldn't believe I was still crushing on him! I went over to where Lilly's locker was, which, was a couple of way from Lilly's. "hey Lil!"
"Hey Miles!" She said putting her stuff away. I looked over and saw Oliver at his locker, he looked over at us and started to come over.
I quickly started talking to Lilly about a TV show I saw last night when, "Um…M-Miley." He said, almost as he was nervous.
I looked at him; my mouth wouldn't let my words escape.
"I um, finished the health paper, and I was um…wondering…if you could…you know…look over it." I nodded and he handed me the paper.
"When you're done, just tell me how it is." Then he walked off.
During homeroom, I decided to take a look at the paper, and Oliver used my whole introduction and conclusion paragraphs. I know someone else's had to be better than mines, but I'll take it as it is. The paper actually seemed A material.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was science class and we had a sub.
He gave us a worksheet to do, but me and Lilly were done in 10 minutes.
"What should we do?" Lilly asked.
"I don't know, have you ever had a crush on someone, and you just wondered why?"
"O yea, I mean when I was in 2nd grade, I liked…Dandruff Danny, of course back then he was just Danny."
"Eww, Lilly!" we exchanged some of our old crushes, and then Lilly asked, "Who was your first crush when you came here?"
Great, it was Oliver!
"I'd rather not say, it's kind of embarrassing."
"Well was it Johnny…Ryan…Andrew…um…" she went on and on and on, but she forgot him! I laughed at her, since she was trying so hard, and yet failing miserably.
"Can you give me a hint, like maybe his initials?"
"If I gave you his initials, then you would definitely know."
"o come on Miley!"
"Fine, OO."
"Who has those initials?" Lilly asked. She most of had a real mental block today.
"Only one person in our grade has those initials, I bet if you saw him, you would just be, 'OHHHHH'"
Just then like it was right on cue, Oliver turned the corner and Lilly blurted out, "OHHHHHH!"
I laughed, "Didn't I tell you?"
"Wow, you liked Oliver?"
"yea… I thought he was…cute then, but that was before I knew him!" Truth is even after I knew him I like him, but then when it came to the Hannah Montana thing, it ended. But now I liked Oliver…again! And my feelings for him were stronger than 4 years ago.
Me and Lilly entered the lunch room and I went immediately in line. I felt someone tap my shoulder and it was…
