My legs froze, I couldn't move

My legs froze, I couldn't move. My jaw dropped further than it was suppose to. Is that her? It can't be her, after four years here she was. Principle, no longer a math teacher. She was reading a paper and she didn't look to happy.

"People these days, suing the school because some dope walked into a door…" She said trailing off as she saw me. We stared at each other for a couple of minutes as though we didn't believe one another were real. Her eyes suddenly closed, I ran over to her. She seemed to have passed out.

"Miley, Miley. Wake up." I said lightly tapping her face. I watched her eyes slowly open. She jumped away of me as though I was a plague. I backed off near the door not knowing if I should leave or not. I watched her sit back down in her seat. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm just fine. I was feeling light headed all day. I watched her take a sip of her coffee. I turned away and decided to look around at her office. It was pretty big and was organized. There were loads of file cabinets labeled. I decided to speak up after the long period of awkward silence.

"Um, so about the job interview…" I said quietly. I felt nervous and shy. I felt as I was back in high school. She still wouldn't answer me, at this point I had a feeling I wouldn't get the job until she finally spoke up.

"Lilly Truscott?" She said sounding unsure. I slowly nodded. "It's been so long have a seat." I awkwardly walked over to the seat in front of her desk. I was surprised by her mood change. She seemed to of have recovered quickly. I handed her my resume and I watched her look it over. "Didn't you want to be a doctor or something?"

"Um well I wanted to be a nurse but things didn't go right so I decided to be a teacher." I said slightly hurt that she didn't remember. I always talked to her about being a nurse back in the day. She still looked exactly the same, well it has only been four years.

"This is a great resume Lilly." She said smiling. I watched her place it back on her desk.

"You're pretty much guaranteed the job, the rest of the candidates seem pretty off." I watched her take a sip of her coffee. "Why don't you look happy?"

"No, I am. I'm just a little surprised." I answered truthfully. This was not supposed to happen. She shouldn't be here, I didn't expect her to. After almost getting over her she comes back in my life.

"Oh, well it is a little awkward seeing each other after everything..." She said. "I have fiancé now you know." If possible I felt my heart shatter even more at these words.

"Oh well I'm happy for you." I said mostly lying. Of course I was happy she found that "special someone" but I wish I was that special someone. I shook these thoughts from my head. I was over her, I had to stop thinking about her like this. I pretended to be happy and interested. "So who's the lucky man's name?"

"Tom Quigley." She said returning her attention back to some papers. I tried to hide my laughter. "Miley Quigley, that's cute I guess." I watched her frown turn into a grin.

"Truscott you want this job right? That's no way to treat your boss." She said playfully. I smiled. "So you know what that means?"

"That I'm going have to call you Mrs. Quigley?" I said.

"No, you have the job." She said smiling. "I'll see you in two weeks." I thanked her as I was about to leave I heard her call my name I turned back to face her.

"Lilly, you know I'm getting married." She said seriously. I nodded at this. "You and I are no more." I nodded once more. She was still staring at me. For a second I thought she looked hurt but she quickly changed her expression. "Get going Truscott."

I was now waiting at a local coffee store for Jackson. He called and said he would be here in 20 minutes. He was taking me out for coffee and cake to celebrate my new job. I never told Jackson about Miley and Me. I wasn't sure how he would react. The only person I told was Jake. I decided to look at the menu to decide on a cake that Jackson and I both liked. I heard the door open and I looked up. It was Kim, I haven't seen her since sophomore year in high school. I couldn't believe she was here. Her hair was still brown and thin. She had beautiful eyes, eyes that you could get easily lost in. She had a few freckles, but was hardly noticeable. She came in and took the table next to mine. I couldn't help but stare at her, finally she looked over. She had a confused expression on but then smiled.

"Lillian Truscott?" She asked smiling.

"Kim Mathews?" I said mocking her. She came over to my table and sat across from me. "It's been awhile."

"I know, how have you been?" She asked.

"Pretty good, I went to Umass Amherst and now I'm a teacher. How about you?" I asked noticing she still looked amazing.

"I'm doing great, I'm a lawyer now." She said the waiter came over and asked what we wanted. "I'll have an ice coffee please."

"I'll have the same as her." I said.

"Okay, are you ready to order that cake Miss?" The waiter asked me.

"Oh no I'm still waiting." I said. The waiter nodded and walked off. Kim's expression saddened a bit.

"Do you have a boyfriend or something?" She asked looking hurt. "I'll leave if you want."

"No, no stay. He's not my boyfriend, just my friend. He's actually gay." I said. She seemed to be relieved.

"Oh who Jake? I always knew he was. He seemed to enjoy football practice a little too much." She said smiling.

"No, Jackson. Jake's old boyfriend. Jake actually died a few years ago." I said. The waiter brought our coffee's over.

"Oh I'm sorry." She said looking embarrassed. "I shouldn't have said anything."

"No, it's fine. Jake wouldn't want us to be sad all the time." I said smiling. She smiled and took a sip of her coffee. After sitting in silence she suddenly spoke up.

"You know I missed you a lot...I'm so sorry for how I treated you." She said looking guilty. "I shouldn't have used you like that, I was just scared." I didn't even have to ask what she was talking about.

"Scared of what?" I asked.

"Of loving you." She said shyly. I wasn't sure what to say. I loved her, and maybe I still do.

"I loved you too." I said slowly.

"Loved? Do you still?" She asked. "I never stopped loving you, I always thought of you." I paused for a moment. I thought of Kim too, at times.

"Yeah I think I do." I said smiling a bit. She had a beautiful smile.

"I need to go I have a case to get to, why don't you call me?" She said checking her watch. "I'm living in Malibu now."

"Of course I'd love to call you." I said smiling. I watched her look through her purse. I shivered when she touched my hand. I felt my face go red. She scribbled down her phone number. "Thanks."

"No problem." She said looking happy. She finished the rest of her coffee. "Call me tomorrow?"

"Of course, bye." I said. I was surprised when she leant across the table and gave me peck on the cheek. Once again I felt my face go red. She smiled and I watched her walk out. I put my hand on the spot that she kissed me. I was smiling goofily now.

"What was that all about?" Jackson asked taking the seat in front of me.

"Huh? When did you get here?" I asked. I hadn't seen Jackson walk inside. I was too dazed by Kim's kiss.

"Well I walked in to find some lady kissing your cheek and you smiling like you had strawberry cake, which we're getting by the way." Jackson said smiling. I playfully punched his arm.

"I thought we were here to celebrate for me not you? But I do love my strawberry cake." I said happily.

"So are you, you know?" Jackson said looking surprised.

"What? You can say it you know. Yes I like girls." I said smiling. "Sorry I never told you."

"Nah it's cool. So when are you seeing her again?" Jackson asked.

"Soon." I said smiling.

Once agian sorry for the long wait. Once summer comes I'll update a lot more. And I had a few people ask how many chapters are left. I'd say it goes up to chapters 35-40, I'm not 100 because I need to add more in and sometimes I combine chapters. Well leave your thoughts..
