Author's note and disclaimer: Don't own Hanna Montana or it's characters. Don't sue. Well this is another chapter that is short and basically done too. It also doesn't require too much editing so I figure I'll upload it quickly. I have one more completed chapter and I'll maybe upload that one soon too. By the way on a side note I've actually never bought a Hanna Montana CD before but her movie soundtrack is awesome. When I have some time I'm really going to be playing that in the background in my head to see if I can get some inspiration for this story and some of my other one's too. Well enough of me blathering on here is chapter 7.
Chapter 7: She's Here!
Jake had gone on the Internet and after downloading what he needed he had what he wanted. His I-pod was filled with what he needed. He was off to school again.
2 years and 353 days left:
Cafeteria:
"He's still staring at you."
"It doesn't matter Lilly." "He'll look but he's going to stay over there." "Nothing is going to change that." "So, stop it already!"
"Well, he did stop." "Looks like he's talking to another girl, Miley!" "I guess he's moving on now too."
"Lilly say what?"
Jake had his new ritual down. He would basically listen to all of her songs. Feel whatever warmth he could muster from the metallic synthesized sounds and harmonies. He cursed as the backup singers drowned out her lovely voice. And than someone did something that hadn't happened since he'd gone to this stupid school.
"Is this seat taken?"
"Oh, no it's not," he mumbled grumpily.
"Hi, my name is Isabel." "Isabel Evans." "What's your name?"
Jake kept hoping this annoying blond would just go away. But she still stared at him waiting. With those green eyes of hers. And he had a funny feeling. He and Miley weren't the only people here who weren't who they appeared to be.
"Your one of us right?" She broke the silence with a silent mental projection.
He heard her mental thought drowning out the Hanna theme song. "Damn it!"
"I heard that." "What's a matter?" "I'm not human enough for you." She projected her thoughts at him.
He put down the I-pod frustratedly. "How, is that any of your business," he projected back at her?
"Well who else am I supposed to talk to?" "These village idiots will never do." "I swear I have no idea why we have to do this stupid rite of passage when we turn 15 years old." "Well as soon as this is over I can't wait to go back." "How, about you?"
Jake, cursed and gave in. "Yeah, I wish I had never left the ship." "I can't wait to go back either."
"So, what's your name? "I mean I could read it out of your mind." "I mean I already know your real name." "But I want to hear your earth name from you."
"It's Jake." "Jake Ryan." "I think it comes from some movie or something."
"Yeah, my name comes from some ironic TV show."
"Yeah, I guess we're both stuck here," Jake commiserated.
"But we can at least be stuck here together, right Jake?" "I mean I swear we were on this Earth first." "And we left when the environment changed and than these stupid humans took over before we could resettle." "Now, we always offer this stupid choice." "Pretend to be a human." "Or live like true Atlntnns for short anyway." "I mean saying the name of our planet would take longer than the 15 minutes we have left for lunch if you know what I mean."
Jake listened and he figured what the hell. I at least have something in common with her. It's not like I have anything better to do. He had almost forgotten how to do it but he smiled finally.
She smiled too.
Jake did feel a little bit weird. Like someone was actually staring at him for a change.
Miley was horrified. She didn't know why it bothered her that Jake was talking to another girl. I mean she was kind of maybe almost in the right light with the right angle almost kinda sort of pretty. But still. That girl had the same perplection as Jake. Their skin was the same pearly white like they had never seen the light of the sun before. She had noticed she had green eyes too. What is that all about? I swear I've never seen so many green eyed people in my life. But it was bugging her. That's the first girl she'd ever seen him with. The first girl that wasn't........me!
Jake once again headed to the Chevy, but this time it was with Isabel. He opened the door.
"Hey you got room for one more," she said aloud for all to hear. Even the pretty brunette trying to hide her staring from the distance.
"Jake, didn't we tell you not to bring anyone else into this?"
"It's OK, she's one of us."
As they got in Jake's finger glowed. Isabel's finger glowed in acknowledgement. And than the lights went out and on again repeatedly like Morse code.
"I'm just visiting." "I have handlers too." "I just don't have anyone my age to talk with." "So, I figured two's company right?" Isabel gave them a smile.
"Well, welcome aboard." "I'm glad you found someone you can actually talk with Jake," Grace threw in sympathetically.
"Me too," Will threw in.
Isabel grabbed Jake's arm and gave it a firm hug and squeeze. "See, isn't this great?"
Miley who had just been walking by pretending not to pay attention saw something worse than a display of powers. She saw the girl hugging Jake, and that was all she needed to see as she tried to quick step away as quickly as possible. It doesn't bother me at all. It's not like he was my boyfriend or anything. So, what if he, well I mean we were never anything to begin with for him to exactly move on, but still. We had, umm. Well it was something. I think. She felt like she had been floating on air as she didn't remember how she got home until she was in her room with the sound of her door slamming with her head face down on the pillow. Why does this hurt so much? I don't even know him. He's bad news and I know it. He's a fixer upper. And he's dangerous. And sexy...Whoops how did that thought get in there. I need to control+alt+delete that thought with the quickness. He is bad news. Bad news, she repeated! That ugly almost barely borderline might have been pretty girl with 5 pounds of makeup in a 45 degree angle and the right light is doing me a favor. Good riddance. Good riddance. Than why does it hurt so bad?
--To Be Continued--
Author's Preview: Well actually even though the chapter is finished I haven't named chapter 8 yet. But it's basically just some aftermath stuff now that the new girl has been thrown into the mix.
