Lilly POV
As soon as the bell rings I jump up out of my seat and leave the room. That teacher, Mrs. Jardon, decided it was necessary to make sure we all read 1984 by giving us a quiz. I did not read 1984 this summer. I see Sam standing by my locker and I walk over.
"Hey, Lils, how was your day?" Sam says, leaning back on my locker.
"Mrs. Jardon, my English teacher, decided to give us a project. And then a quiz on 1984." I say, while leaning my head on her shoulder. She starts to laugh at me.
"Ew, that sucks. How'd you do on the quiz?" She asks, still laughing. I pick my head up and glare at her.
"It's not funny, I bombed that quiz. The first grade of the year, and it's an F." I say, shaking my head and putting on my sunglasses. She laughs at me and puts her glasses on, too.
"How do you know you bombed it? I mean, sometimes when you b.s a quiz, you end up doing really good." Sam says, waving Oliver over to us.
"I know I bombed it because it was a 15 question quiz and I only answered 5 questions." Sam starts cracking up and I hear her say something that sounds a lot like "your so stupid".
"Wow, Lilly, sounds like you failed magnificently. Congrats." Oliver says, leaning against the locker, too. I shove him into the person behind him. I feel a light tap on my shoulder, and I spin around and see Miley.
"Uh, excuse me, I think you're in front of my locker." She says. She's looking at the floor, so I don't think she realizes it's me.
"Oh, I'm sorry. So, we doing that project tonight?" I ask her. She looks up, realizes that it's just me, and smiles.
"Yeah, sure, do you want to walk back to my house?" She asks.
"Yeah, that's fine. I'll just wait here with you." I hear Sam and Oliver behind me start laughing at something, most likely me. Miley turns to open her locker, and turn around to glare at Sam and Oliver, who just start laughing harder. Sam leans over to me to whisper something in my ear.
"My god, you hardly know her and you're already whipped. What is this?" Sam whispers in my ear and then starts laughing. I shove her back into the lockers and turn around to face Miley, who's staring at us. Sam and Oliver start laughing and turn to leave.
"Are you guys ok?" Miley asks, looking confused.
"Yeah, we're fine, Sam and Oliver are just being idiots." I say, turning around to look at them. They just laugh harder and keep walking.
"Whatever you say. So you ready to go?" She asks, smiling at me. I smile back and nod. The walk back to her house was not very long, and it turns out that she lives a street over from me. We walk up her driveway and suddenly I stop walking.
"I love your house!" I exclaim as soon as I see her house. Her house is huge and, literally, right next to the beach.
"Oh, uh, thanks." She says, slightly embarrassed. She opens the door and we walk inside. It's nice on the inside, her deck leads right onto the beach.
"Do you want anything to drink?" She asks me, walking into the kitchen.
"Uhh, no thanks, I'm alright." I say. I sit down on the couch and she comes back in and sits next to me.
"So what do you want to do for this project?" She asks.
"I have no idea. I didn't actually read the book." I say, a little embarrassed.
"Oh, that's fine. I didn't actually read the book until last night." She says smiling at me. I smile back.
"So, what should we do now? I'll read the book tonight if you want." I say.
"Just read the summary online, that's what I did. Do you really want to work on this project right now?" She asks, looking out the window at the beach.
"No, it's so nice out, I'd rather be out there. Want to go?" I say, waving my hand towards the beach.
"Yeah, let's go to the beach." She says, nodding.
"Ok, well I need to grab a bathing suit. My house is like 30 seconds away, I'll run home and get it." I say. She nods and I leave. I run the entire way home and cut through, like, 5 people's yards. It took me maybe 1 minute tops. I sprint to my room and find my favorite bikini and my favorite sunglass. I toss a pair of shorts and a t-shirt on and fix my hair in its messy bun. Once I'm satisfied with my appearance, I run back to Miley's house.
"Hey, Lilly. Wow, you were fast." She says when she answers the door. She's wearing jean shorts and a t-shirt.
"Well, I told you I lived, like, 30 seconds away." I say, smiling at her. She nods and lets me in.
"You ready to go?" She says, grabbing a towel.
"Oh, I forgot a towel." I say, shaking my head. She laughs and hands me a towel. We walk out the back door into the heat.
"Man, it's hot out here. I might actually have to hop in the water for a little bit." Miley says, fanning herself.
"I know, seriously. I'll probably have to go in with you." I say with a laugh. We find a good spot and lay our towels down. I pull my shorts, shirt and glasses off and lay down. She does the same and I had to try my best not to stare as she pulled her clothes off. I turn my iPod on and close my eyes. About 2 minutes later I feel somebody standing above me, dripping water all over me. I open my eyes to see who it is and find Sam and Oliver standing above me.
"Lilly! Thanks for inviting us to the beach." Sam says, sarcastically, with a smile on her face.
"It was a last minute decision when we found out that it's hard to do a project on a book that only 1 of us read." I say, looking up at her.
"I'm sorry, Lilly, but that excuse just won't cut it. You know how much I hate to do this to you, but…" She says with an evil smile on her face. I look at Oliver and see him looking at me the same way. Then I realize what they're going to do.
"Oh no you don't!" I say, trying to get away from them. They pick me up and carry me towards the water. I feel them drop me and suddenly I am immersed in freezing cold water. I come up sputtering and look for Sam and Oliver, who ran back up the beach and would standing near Miley. I look at Miley and see her laughing at my friends antics.
"I hate you both!" I yell at Sam and Oliver and run after them. I chase Sam and tackle her, sending us both into the sand, laughing hysterically. We look and see Miley and Oliver laughing at us. Me and Sam look at each other and nod. We both stand up and walk towards Miley.
"Oh, Miley, who do you think you're laughing at?" I say, grinning.
"Yeah, Miley, I'm pretty sure that, of the 4 of us, you're the only one still dry. We can't have that, now, can we?" Sam says, smiling that evil smile again. Miley stops laughing and her eyes widen when she realizes what me and Sam are planning. She jumps up and starts to run away.
"Get back here, Miley!" Me and Sam yell, and run after her. We grab her and run to the ocean, dropping her in, too. She comes up and me and Sam start cracking up. She grabs my arm and pulls me back into the water. Me, Sam, Oliver, and Miley spend the rest of the afternoon playing in the water.
"Ok, guys, I think I'm gona head home. I'll see you all tomorrow." Oliver says, giving us all hugs.
"Yeah, I think I'm gona head out, too." Sam says. She gives us all hugs and her and Oliver wave and walk away. I look at Miley.
"Do you want to leave yet?" I ask. She shakes her head and we go back to our towels.
"So, Lilly, how do you know my cousin?" Miley asks, staring out at the water.
"Jake? Well, when I was a freshman and he was a junior, we kind of dated for a little bit. About a month, I'd say. It didn't really work out, I felt like we were just friends and he felt the same way so we gave up on the whole dating thing. We've stayed good friends, even though he graduated, and I still hang out with him some times. And he still throws some of the craziest parties, so I always see him there, too." I say with a laugh. She laughs, too, and nods.
"Yeah, my cousin always was the crazy party animal." She says, laughing. I laugh with her, because it's so true.
"So what made you move here?" I ask her. She suddenly looks sad and I wonder if I asked the wrong question.
"A couple months ago, my mother was hit by a drunk driver. The driver survived, but my mother did not. My father decided that it was too hard to live in that house because everywhere he went he was reminded of her. So, me, my dad, and my brother all decided that moving far away would help, in the long run at least. My dad's sister, Jake's mom, said that this was a nice area and she offered to help us out with anything we needed. So, we moved here." She said, trying to hold back tears. I sat there in shock, not sure of what to do or say.
"I'm so sorry." I say, as I put my hand on her shoulder. She leaned against me and started to cry. I wrapped my arms around her and let her cry. She stopped crying about 5 minutes later.
"I'm sorry. I mean you hardly know me and I'm sitting here crying all over you. I'm really sorry, I feel so stupid." She said, pulling back and wiping her eyes off.
"No, Miley, don't feel stupid. I mean, I don't know about you, but I consider you one of my friends now. And I take care of my friends when their feeling sad." I say. She smiles at me and gives me a hug.
"I consider you one of my friends, too, Lilly." She says, smiling at me.
"Good. Well, it's like 6, maybe we should head home now." I say. She nods and we pick our stuff up.
"I had fun today, Miley. I'll read that book tonight so we can start working on the project. You wana hang out after school tomorrow?" I ask.
"Yeah, sure. We can just go back to my house again after school tomorrow." She says. I nod and start to walk home, thinking to myself.
"The more time I spend with her, the more time I want to spend with her. I'm starting to like her a lot. I hope I don't get myself in too deep…"
yeah so those italics would be Lilly's thoughts, in case anybody was wondering. Again sorry about the long wait ill try to update faster now that my computer is all fixed. Tell me what your thinking :)
