Miley walked through the halls trying to figure out what she should do next. She had already gone to the girls room to you know, 'go to the bathroom,' but to her disappointment, nobody else was in there. Okay, truth be told, she was disappointed that Lilly was not in the bathroom. The mysterious blonde was, after all, the only reason she went in there. Miley was unsure what she'd say to the girl, but she was sure that something had to be done on her part.

After the whole lunch fiasco, Miley narrowed the situations down to two conclusions. One, Lilly was a tease and was only messing with Miley to get back at her, or two, Lilly was a tease but had good intentions and was flirting with Miley because she really liked her.

After contemplating it a little longer while walking still, she realized that these were horrible conclusions and either way Lilly was a tease. Miley did not know what else to make of it. She couldn't just let it go, though, that was for sure. This girl was driving her crazy and she needed answers.

As Miley rounded a corner in the hallway, she noticed Lilly inside of what was presumably her locker. She stopped walking immediately and felt as if she were in a crossroads. Should she turn around and walk away, pretending that nothing ever happened, or should Miley confront the girl and get some answers? She didn't have a chance to choose though as Lilly closed her locker and turned around in her direction.

Now it was Lilly's turn to take a step back, seeing as she was surprised to see Miley. Lilly was actually standing at her locker for about ten minutes with hopes that Miley would walk by, but she had finally given up and decided to go back to lunch. But there Miley is, standing with the expression of a deer caught in headlights. Lilly is a little better at hiding her emotions though, and clearly far better at this game.

After the tiny mishap of taking a step back, she just glanced at the other girl, nodded, and turned to walk away. Lilly was feeling very confident at this point. She had left the ball in Miley's court so it was her turn to make the move. She wasn't entirely sure why she knew the other girl would, but somehow, something inside her told her so and she just knew.

Miley, on the other hand, knew nothing at all anymore as she stood there so confused and wondering why Lilly was walking away. Of all the things to do, she just walked away. She wondered if she had cake in her teeth and scared the girl off, but then quickly crossed out the idea as dumb, seeing as Lilly was never within a clear range of seeing her teeth. Besides, it is not like she smiled to even give the girl a chance to take notice of her mouth.

Miley then looked and realized the gap between them was getting too big for comfort, and acted on instinct. "Lilly, wait," She said while jogging over towards her.

Lilly smiled to herself with a feeling of accomplishment as she came to a halt and turned around.

"Yes?" she asked coolly.

Miley had arrived in front of her, but did not exactly know what to say. She wasn't entirely sure which direction to take this about to be conversation. 'Get answers before you make any confessions, dummy,' Miley thought subconsciously. Happy with her conclusion, she consciously smiled and nodded like a kid who had just received approval from an adult.

Lilly's words broke her from her thoughts. "Umm, you have something in your teeth."

Miley immediately stopped and closed her eyes, and mouth of course, in embarrassment. Miley cursed herself for not checking her teeth when she had originally thought of the idea before. She tried to act cool and play it off as she felt around for the pieces.

"Yeah, I know. Devil dogs, yum," Miley said as she licked her lips and smoothly was able to remove the pieces with her tongue. "I was just saving some for later," Miley grinned as she spoke.

To most people that probably sounded so disgusting, which it was, but Lilly thought it was pretty hot the way Miley was licking her lips and couldn't help but laugh at the other girls goofiness. She let it be known without thinking.

"You are such a goofball," Lilly spoke, still amused by her.

"And you're a tease."

"I'm sorry had I know you were so sensitive I would have never made fun of you. You know you put up the whole tough girl act pretty well but I can see right through you."

"Oh yeah? What do you see?"

Lilly didn't know what to say. She had spoken without thinking and now she had no idea what to say in return. She looked past Miley in thought and was relieved to see somebody approaching them.

"Crap. There's a teacher behind you. Coming our way."

"Get out of here," was all Miley said.

"What?" Lilly responded confused.

"We're in the hall without a pass and bound to get detention and I, being the lucky girl I am, already having it for the rest of the week so leave. I'll take it from here."

Lilly didn't question the girl again. Bringing home a detention slip to her mom, no matter how stupid the reason is, would only end badly. It is, after all, only her first week at a new school. She realized it was kind of selfish, but figured Miley owed her anyway. Or at this point, did she owe Miley?

She began to walk away but Miley's voice stopped her.

"Oh, and Lilly, sometimes people put up walls not to keep others out, but to see who cares enough to break them down."

Lilly turned around and faced the girl, not caring how close the teacher was now. The statement was not original; she had heard it many times before. But never has Lilly heard anyone say it so sincerely with such vulnerability.

She wasn't sure what to do now with Miley standing there looking like a wounded puppy. Lilly took a few steps towards the girl, embraced her gingerly, and whispered thank you in her ear. She was not trying to tease her this time but instead attempted to match the other girl's honesty with her voice.

Miley smiled really liking what had just happened as she watched Lilly turn around and walk away. She didn't have time to think about it though as she heard her favorite teachers' ear piercing voice yelling out behind her.

"Excuse me! Come back here right this instance and let me see your pass!"

Miley turned around to face the teacher and prevent her from pursuing Lilly.

"Miss Stewart. I'm not surprised to see you wandering around. What mischief are you up to now? You better have a pass."

"Sure do," Miley said while opening up her backpack. She stuck her hand inside and pulled out the first piece of paper she felt.

"A movie ticket is not a pass! Come now, to the principal's office. And who was that other girl?"

"Your mom," Miley replied. It was rude and disrespectful even for her to say, but she had to get the teachers mind off of Lilly.

Miley immediately felt bad though as Mrs. Grisbol's face turned from angry and pissed off to almost sad looking.

"Really Miss Stewart, why must you be so juvenile?" was all she had to say. The teacher then began pulling Miley along to the principal's office, not giving the girl a chance to make a comeback. Even if the teacher had given her opportunity to, she would not have said anything smart in response.

As Miley was being pulled along, she softly whispered to herself, "I'm just waiting for somebody to break me down."
