It's been almost 3 weeks: sorry about that. I just got done my mid-terms.
As promised, I did this chapter in Oliver's POV (I was planning on doing both Oliver and Miley's POV, but I think it worked out this way).
As usual I don't own Hannah Montana.
Oliver's POV
"You and Hannah Montana will never be together!" yells Hannah at me.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because…" she says as she takes off her wig and sunglasses. "I'm Hannah Montana"
…
"Let's face it Oliver, the girl you thought you loved is standing right, and the truth is…you don't love her", she says.
"You're right…" I say.
Whoa! I just had a dream about the day Miley told me that she was Hannah Montana.
This past weekend has been absolutely crazy. When it all started as pretty much a joke and simple bet. Just a couple days ago, Miley was my best girl but, but now; I don't really know what I think about her. I have this feeling in my stomach that I haven't felt in a while. I haven't felt this since …since the days I was crushing on Hannah Montana. Does that mean I have a crush on Miley? Does that mean that maybe Lilly's right and I've always had a crush on Miley? I'm really confused right now.
Wow, way too many confusing thoughts for a Monday morning. Life was so much simpler when my thoughts consisted of exclusively food and skateboarding and food.
After eating, showing, and getting dressed, I went out to catch the bus. To my surprise and (somewhat) dismay, I saw Lilly waiting for me at my bus stop. She looks like she added extra sugar to her cereal this morning because she was hopping long before she saw me.
"Hey Oliver!" she practically yelled when I got to the stop. Lilly is one of the few people who can get this perky on a Monday morning.
"Hey Lilly, what are you doing here? I though you were gonna get a ride from Jackson", I said.
"I will starting tomorrow. Today, I wanted to talk to my best donut friend", she says. "So, what happened in the limo after I left? Any kissing?"
"No", I lied.
"You know Oliver, Miley lied about the exact same thing yesterday. You both are extremely bad liars. I guess it's cute though, just another thing you two have in common", she says.
"Lilly!" I exclaim, hoping she stops.
"Don't Lilly me! Oh look the bus is coming and I bet you want to sit next to Miley today!" she exclaims.
We got onto the bus, with Lilly following. Letting Lilly get on after me was a huge mistake because once I got near Miley's seat, Lilly pushed me towards our best friend…hard. The next thing I knew, I was completely on top of Miley who looked a bit shell shocked.
"Sorry, are you okay?" I ask.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Lilly right?" she asked once she came back to reality.
"Lilly", I confirm.
"Sweet nibblets that girl", she groaned followed by a pretty large yawn.
"Didn't sleep last night?" I ask.
"No, I kept tossing and turning, but I couldn't get to sleep", she answers.
"Well, since we are two of the first stops, you have some time to try to get a nap. I'll wake you when we get to school", I say.
"No I can't!" she exclaims rather loudly causing the few people on the bus to stare at us.
"Why not, don't worry I'll stay awake", I say.
"That's okay, but thanks for the offer Oliver", she says as she smiles at me sweetly.
Wow she has the prettiest smile I've ever seen. Why is it that I feel like melting every time she looks at me recently? Miley's my best girl bud and I think that's it. Quick think Jessica Simpson!
When we arrived at school, we got off the bus and started heading into school. We weren't even halfway to the door when Lilly ran up in between us and put an arm around each of us. What is she up to now?
"Now remember you two, you're are dating. That means you have to hold hands, kiss before class, and other couple stuff", she says.
"Lilly!" we both whine.
"Don't Lilly me, it's not that big of a deal. Besides you two have kissed on more than one occasion over the past three days", she says. "Well I'll catch up with you lovebirds later. I have to meet up with Jackson before class".
After Lilly happily skipped away, I looked at Miley awkwardly. Her face was completely flushed, but mine probably was too.
"Ready?" I ask. She just nodded in response.
We went inside and then entwined our hands. It was extremely weird at first but it quickly became…nice. I felt a jolt of electricity rush through my arm. I don't think I ever felt this when I was with Becca or Joannie.
After getting books from our respective lockers, we hung out outside of our first period class (Kunkle unfortunately). Unfortunately Amber and Ashley came by before Kunkle did.
"Hey look Oli-dork and Hillbilly finally got together. I guess after getting rejected by the entire girl population, you settled for Stewart", taunted Ashley.
"Desperate, Ooo, tss", says Amber and Ashley simultaneously followed by that stupid finger thing.
"You know Oken, I think that Kunkle would have been a better choice than stinky Stewart", continues Amber.
"Yeah, Captain Crunch would have been a better choice, Ooo", says Ashley as she holds up her finger only to see Amber shaking her head.
"At least I don't have a zit the size of Tennessee on my forehead", Miley countered. "Maybe that's why Jake Ryan turned you down, again".
"Oh look I see it! It's right there!" exclaims Ashley in a very bubbly voice as she points towards Amber's massive zit.
Amber then just stormed away as Ashley obviously followed, still pointing at it.
"Nice comeback", I say.
"Thanks, Amber will be obsessing over that for a while, so we'll get some peace from her at least", she says.
"And by the way, if we were really dating, it wouldn't be because I was just settling for you. Any guy would be lucky to be dating you", I say honestly.
"Thanks, that's really sweet Oliver", she says as she pulls me into a warm embrace.
Then she kisses me on the cheek. I feel my heart speed up a bit. Think Jessica Simpson! Think Mandy Moore!
"OKEN, STEWART the late bell just rang! Get your butts in class and don't even think about flirting in my class!" yelled Ms. Kunkle using what Miley accurately describes as a warden's voice.
We then quickly ran into class and took our respective seats. My head is still buzzing from everything.
I have no idea what Ms. Kunkle talked about in class today. It's not like she cares whether or not I pay attention. She stopped calling on me a while back ago because she quickly became sick of my wrong answers. I also have no idea what happened in my other two classes before lunch.
To neither my or Miley's surprise, Lilly sat with Jackson at lunch, just leaving the two of us at our usual table. I suspect that they'll join us after this whole bet thing is over though. Lilly just wants to maximize the alone time between Miley and myself.
Today, the cafeteria served Sloppy Joe's a.k.a. last Friday's meat reserved, grounded up and served on a bun. Miley brought her lunch since she can't stomach the school's food.
"I can't believe you eat that. I swear that it'll get up and move if you sit it down for too long", says Miley giving my sandwich a disgusted look.
I merely shrug in response as I proceed to eat it. For me, food is food.
I then notice that Miley has a couple energy drinks placed on the table. This is very strange because she usually hates them (or at least what they do to her). Last time she had one, she made Lilly look almost calm. The key word is almost.
"What's with the energy drinks? You usually bring water", I ask.
"Oh because I didn't sleep at all last night, I don't want to fall asleep in class," she answers.
"It's no big deal. I sleep in class all the time", I respond causing her to chuckle and roll her eyes playfully.
"Typical Donut", she says. "Seriously Oliver, I can't afford to fall asleep".
"You know, can sleep in study hall. I'll make sure nobody sticks signs on you or anything", I offer.
"NO!" she exclaims rather loudly.
"Ok throwing that idea out there", I say as I put my hands up defensively.
"I'm sorry for snapping at you Oliver, but I can't afford to fall asleep. I really can't", she says.
She then put her arm around me in a reassuring manner. Once again there's that feeling in my stomach that I've never felt around any other girl.
After lunch, we got to study hall. As usual we sit by each other and I notice immediately that Miley is bouncing up and down in her seat. Since Miley is going to stay awake, I mind as well take this opportunity to take a nap myself. Since talking isn't allowed, it's either sleep or do homework…I choose sleep.
"You and Hannah Montana will never be together!" yells Hannah at me.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because…" she says as she takes off her wig and sunglasses. "I'm Hannah Montana"
…
"Let's face it Oliver, the girl you thought you loved is standing right, and the truth is…you don't love her", she says.
"You're right…" I say.
I then wake up and my head shoots up quickly, colliding with something hard in the process.
"OW!" exclaimed Miley as she the side of her head.
"Oh my, I'm sorry Miley. Are you okay? Do you want to go to the nurse for an icepack?" I ask.
"No thanks. You must have had some dream to cause you to jump like that", she says. "Let me guess, you were trapped in Jackson's closet again".
"Not exactly…" I say, my head spinning from both the collision with Miley and the dream.
"Ok, well we better get going to our next class. The bell just rang", she says.
That was the second time I had that dream. Why do I keep having that dream?
I got through my final class with thoughts of the dream very fresh in my mind. Luckily, it was just Mr. Corelli's class and he was so engaged in this week's class them that he didn't notice that I wasn't paying the least bit of attention.
Once school was over and I unloaded my books in my locker, I got onto the bus. It wasn't long before Miley came on and sat next to me. Of course, Lilly soon came on and sat behind us and of course had to bother us.
"You two aren't looking very coupley", she comments.
I then proceed to put my arm around Miley and she responds by resting her head on my shoulder. Both cause my stomach to churn like it has all day.
"Happy?" I hiss at Lilly and she just gives me a thumbs up in return.
"How's your head feeling?" I ask Miley.
"Fine, I'm still a little dizzy, but I think it's from the energy drinks more than getting hit by your oversized head", she says.
"Hey my head is not oversized!" I exclaim.
"You're right, it's just empty", she teases. Oh it's on!
I let go of Miley and proceed to tickle her. She burst out laughing, begging me to stop. Neither of us really seemed to care that we looked absolutely ridiculous and that we were probably getting some very strange looks from everyone on the bus.
"Take it back!" I exclaim playfully.
"Oliver!" she exclaims.
"Take it back!" I exclaim again.
"Fine, your head is not empty!" she says and I then stop. "You just have boy-brains".
I shrug in response and proceed to put my arm around her again and she places her head back on my shoulder. I then place my head on hers and get a whiff of her hair. I never realized how good her hair smells. Stop it Oliver, she's my best friend, not my real girlfriend. Think Jessica Simpson! Think Mandy Moore! Think Hannah Montana…wait that doesn't work!
When I get home, I make myself a sandwich, and proceed to watch some mind-numbing television. I turn on the TV and a Hannah Montana music video is playing. Not helping! I change the channel and there's a program about girls from Tennessee. Still not helping! I change the channel and it's another Hannah Montana music video (If we were a movie to be more specific). Really not helping! I turn off the tv and then go to my room. Maybe a nap would be good, since the previous one wasn't really a restful sleep.
"You and Hannah Montana will never be together!" yells Hannah at me.
"Why not?" I ask.
"Because…" she says as she takes off her wig and sunglasses. "I'm Hannah Montana"
…
"Let's face it Oliver, the girl you thought you loved is standing right, and the truth is…you don't love her", she says.
"But I think I do..." I say
I'm not sure how I feel about this chapter compared to the previous ones. I hope you all enjoyed it. I'm also not sure if I made what will happen in the next chapter obvious or not (there are clues).
Thanks for all the reviews so far and please keep reviewing and telling me what you think. :)
