All My Venom: Part 2:
The next day, at school…
Miley and Lilly decided to give Oliver some space, until lunch…when Oliver went up to them. He wondered, "why are you ignoring me?"
Miley thought out loud, "I'm sorry. I thought you didn't want to talk to me yet."
Oliver wondered, "what do you mean by…yet?"
Lilly pointed out, "well, yesterday, we saw you in Rico's surf shop…"
Miley finished the sentence, "calling out "stay away! You can't know." Can't know what?"
Oliver, more confused than ever before, said, "what are you guys talking about? I was swimming at the beach, expecting you to show up!"
Miley was trying to patch up the situation, "Oliver, we know what's been bugging you." Meanwhile, Rico was watching them.
Oliver said with some relief, "you do?"
Lilly added, "but Miley needs some more time…to think things out."
Oliver pointed out, "but if it was that simple, you could've just called me. I would've understood."
Miley concluded nervously, "maybe all too well."
Oliver muttered, "oh, so now you decide to not trust me?"
Lilly urged, "Oliver, it's not like that. Honest."
Oliver sighed, "why are you defending her, Lilly?"
Lilly insisted, "because we know about your crush."
Oliver muttered, "you know what? Stop making excuses for her. She doesn't deserve them." He then stormed off, leaving behind a confused and hurt Miley and Lilly. Miley had tears running down her face.
She asked between tears, "what…just happened?"
Lilly tried to assure her, "maybe he's just having a bad week."
Miley then started getting mad, "or maybe…Rico."
Lilly concluded, "but it sounded and looked like Oliver. Clearly, he's either being a jerk…or Rico blackmailed him."
Miley sighed, "let's just see if Jackson got anything on Rico."
After school, at Miley's house…
Miley was sitting on the couch, trying to get her mind off of Oliver for a little while by watching television. Then Jackson came down, jumping for joy.
He said, "I got what you wanted, Miles."
Miley slightly lit up after a sniffle, "really?"
Jackson concluded, "apparently, Rico has been buying chemicals from several foreign countries. Don't know what they make, but he's definitely up to something."
Miley concluded with a smile, "chemicals. That's it! I got to call Lilly."
Jackson concluded, "uh…you're welcome?"
Miley added, "right. Thank you."
Jackson concluded, "that's better."
