Chapter 2

"Lilly…" The brunette beauty whispered to me.

"GOOOOOOODDDDD MORNING! It's 5 past the hour and you are listening to 96.7 KissFM." Ughhhhh really? I don't want to wake up! I get up out of my bed and hop in the shower and start getting ready for my first day at Marble Falls. I stood in front of my closet about ten minutes before I decided what I wanted to wear. I ended up wearing a pair of Rock Revival jeans, a black tank top, with a light blue one over it, and a pair of blue Vans. I really hope I don't stand out too much at this school. I walked into the kitchen and I grabbed a piece of toast, put grape jelly on it and sat down to eat it. It was 7:45, and the first bell rings at 8:15, so I grab my backpack, and the keys to my new car and head off without saying bye to my mom.

While I was driving I jammed out to Drake, and Lil Wayne. It took me twenty minutes to get to school. Gah this drive is really going to suck every day! I pulled into a parking spot and sat in my car for a little bit, when I decided to get out a monsterous black truck pulled up beside me. It was a black Ford F150 Badlander sitting on 38 inch tires, had a 4 inch lift, and by the sounds of it, some type of stereo system. Wow, the guy who owns this must be really popular. The passenger side door opens and a girl with dark brown, almost black hair stepped out of the truck.

"She's a hot little number in her pickup truck, daddy's sweet money done jacked it up. She's a party all-nighter from South Carolina, a bad mamma jamma from down in Alabama…" Blared from the truck. I walked around the other side of the truck to get to the main building and right before I could pass the driver's side door opened and out stepped the brunette from the lake. She had on a pair of worn cowboy boots, faded jeans with a couple of holes, and a tight fitting shirt that grabbed her all in the right places and read "Randy Rogers Band". Her hair was in lose curls, and her eyes were a hypnotizing grey-blue.

"You see something you like?" She asked me in a slight accent. Shit how long have I been staring.

"Uh.. Um yeah, your truck.. I.. It's amazing." I replied. Damn stop stuttering.

"Yeah, okay, whatever ya say.. See you later!" She chuckled and started to walk away.

"Okay.." Lilly Truscott get yourself together! You don't even like girls, what's your problem? I started walking up to the main building and started looking at the kids around me and realize that I wasn't going to stick out like I thought I was. I walked into the front office where a lady was sitting.

"Well hello, what's your name hun?" The lady asked me.

"Lillian Truscott." I say a little taken aback. No one was ever this friendly in California.

"Oh yes, you're from California aren't you dear?" She asks.

"Um, yes ma'am I am."

"Okay, well here's your schedule, if you need help finding your classes just come back up here and I'll help you out, my name is Mrs. Warren."

"Oh.. Um thank you." I smile a little bit.

"No problem dear, I hope you'll enjoy it here!" She smiles at me as I walk out of the office. I look down at my schedule;

Alright, this doesn't seem too hard but when's lunch? The first bell rings, I start walking to my first class and notice that there were a lot of different groups in this school; goths, rednecks, preps, nerds, jocks, emo's, Hispanics, and just some normal looking people with no stereotype. I got into my class, found a desk and sat down waiting for the tardy bell to ring. A boy with longish brown hair sits down beside me.

"Hey, I'm Oliver. You new here?" The boy says.

"Yeah, my name is Lilly." I reply smiling.

"Well hello Lilly, where ya from?"

"Malibu, California."

"Wow really? Why did you move to this little town… In Texas?" He asks me looking quite puzzled.

"It's kind of a long story, but basically my mom and I needed a new start." I say.

"Well that makes sense I guess, have you met anybody else here yet?"

"Nope, just you.."

"Here let me see your schedule." I gave him my schedule. "Sweet we have English and Art together, and you'll have basketball with my best friend Miley, and I think Sarah is in there too. You'll like them, they're cool."

"Oh cool. Um do you know when lunch is?"

"Hahaha, your third period teacher will let you know whether you have "A" lunch or "B" lunch."

"Alright."

"We'll have the same lunch though, so you can sit with me and my friends if you'd like."

"Thanks Oliver, that'd be great." I say genuinely. Then the second bell rang and a small lady with short brown hair walked in and took roll, then started going over the syllabus. While she was talking I started daydreaming about the brunette with the blue eyes. She is so beautiful; I've got to find out who she is! Why, what're you going to do, you're not gay remember? Yeah I know that but I still want to know who she is. Why? Because.. Wait why am I arguing with myself? Ughhh

I don't know how long I was arguing with myself for but the bell rang signaling that it was time for me to go to basketball. I said goodbye to Oliver and started walking towards the gym, which was on the complete opposite side of campus. I walked in and noticed a few girls sitting in the bleachers, so I sat a row below them and then in walked in my brunette beauty. You have got to be joking. She looked at me then smiled and sat in the chair next to mine. Really? I tried to sit as still as possible hoping she wouldn't talk to me. Then she turned and looked at me.

"You're new right? What's your name?" She asked with a smile. Great.

"I.. Uh.. I'm Lilly." I reply. What is with this stuttering!

"Lilly, huh? Well it's nice to meet you, I'm.."

"Miley!" We hear a voice say from the coaches office.

"We'll get back to this in a minute." She winks at me and gets up to go into the coaches office. So you're Miley.. Are you the same one that Oliver was talking about? I hope so!

She comes back and stands in front of the group of girls and starts talking.

"Hey y'all, I hope y'alls break was good, and you had fun, but now it's time to get to business. Coach needs y'all to write down your name, and cell phone number that she can reach ya if she needs to. And tomorrow morning we start cross country practice at 7, so be here about 6:45ish." Everyone starts groaning. "Hey now guys you know cross country is better than mountain day, plus we'll get to practice basketball during the period. Next we have a new comer named Lilly so we're gonna go around and introduce ourselves." She flashes me a smile, and walks up to me and reaches out her hand. "I'm Miley."

I reach out to grab her hand and the moment our fingers touch I felt a shockwave run through my hand and body. From the looks of it Miley felt it also.

What was that?
