Whoa...who told me to stop posting? Well my laptop kinda sorta broke so I had to wait until I got a new one because I hate typing my stories on other people's! Well FINALLY here's chapter 18! Excited about my new laptop so I should post a bunch!
"Shut up Russo." she told me,
"Make me Stephens." I said as I got up.
She scoffed and walked away.
"Oooh. Cat fight! Rawr!" I heard a familiar voice say behind me.
"Shut up Jacob." I said and laughed.
"How are you Alex?" he asked with a smile.
"Good. Good." I said and smiled.
"Good to hear." he told me and I smiled.
We kept the conversation going, even when Mitch, Miles, Nate, and Shane came. That is until the bell signaling the beginning of school rang. We went to our lockers and grabbed our books. Then we all headed to 1st period. It was all the same until some new blonde walked in.
"Hi my name is Jake Ryan. I'm new here."
Miley attempted to muffle a gasp but I still heard it. I reminded myself to ask her about it later.
"Please have a seat by Mr. Gray...wait there are two. Uuum...by Nathani-" the teacher began.
"NATE!" Nate corrected her once again.
About half way into the period, Miley was called on to answer a question. Probably because she sat in the back corner and looked preoccupied.
Everyone turned to look at her and a few chuckles and giggles escaped because she was a tad bit confused. When the new blonde, Jack I think, followed everyone else's gazes, he gasped when he layed eyes on Miley.
"MILEY?" he exclaimed, eyes wide.
She gave a timid smile and small wave but turned to the teacher and finally answered he question, suprisingly correctly.
The teacher ignored the exchange between Miles and that John kid and continued teaching. Mitch, Shane, Nate, and I shot Miley inquiring looks and she responded by smiling, showing that she'd tell us ALL about it later.
We turned our attention back to our teacher then because she'd began a new lesson.
The bell signifying the end of first period finally rang, which meant STORYTIME! We all rushed out of the classroom and over to Miley who'd scurried out as soon as the bell rung.
"So who exactly was that?" Shane finally asked after a few minutes of just roaming the halls.
"There's not enough time...I'll tell you guys later!" she said and ran off to her next class before we could say anything else.
We didn't see Miley until lunch because she didn't meet us in the halls or wait for us by the doors of our classes. Most of the classes I shared with her were in the afternoon. Finally the lunch bell rang and we raced to our usual table in search of Miley.
There she was...sitting all alone. Waiting shyly.
"Well hello to you too Ms. I'm gonna run away from Shane rudely when he asked a simple frickin question that could've been answered if I weren't such a poop fart faced girl..." Shane said.
Miley stared at him and then looked away.
"Ok. So basically Jake Ryan is my ex-boyfriend from Malibu..." she trailed off.
"Uum...that's not a long story...at all." I stated.
"Ha..guess not." she said with a small smile.
"And why does that matter? Why are you making such a big deal about that?" Nate asked her.
"We were in love...but I'm over him!" Miley said, not meeting Nate's eyes.
There was an awkward silence.
"So what about those Mets!" Shane said.
We all looked at him. Nate rolled his eyes with a slight smile, Mitch and I giggled and gently hit him on both sides of his arms, but Miley seemed to be in her own little world. Thinking about something else I guess…
"Hi…I'm Jake." The blonde guy appeared out of thin air.
"Hi!" Shane chirped.
"Aren't you that guy from that toothpaste commercial?" Mitchie asked.
"Uum..Yeah. I also have a TV show." He replied, slightly arrogantly.
"Well that's…cool?" I said…well asked.
"Can I talk to you? Alone?" he asked Miley.
"You can say it all right here!" Nate said, glaring at Jack. Or Jake I mean.
"Of course." Mitchie said shooting Nate a look.
Miley and Jake walked away.
"I don't like that guy." Nate said slowly.
"Sucks for you then doesn't it?" I asked with a playful smirk but the tension was too strong for my attempt to make him laugh.
Miley walked back over, with a slight smile on her face. The smiled disappeared under Nate's glare though.
"What?" she asked worriedly.
"Nothing…nothing at all." Nate said and stormed out.
"I'll go and get him." Miley and I said at the same time.
"He's upset with you. I'll handle it." I told Miley and began to walk.
"He's MY boyfriend so I'll handle it!" Miley shocked me by grabbing my arm.
"He's my BEST friend so I'm gonna him feel better. He's already mad at you Ms. I still OBVIOUSLY have feelings for my EX!" I yelled, getting annoyed.
"Well I don't feel comfortable with you going out there while he's mad at me Ms. I LOVE Nate Gray."
"What…?" I said, my heart pounding. "Nate and I are just friends and that's all we'll ever be!" I then yelled, recovering from the moment of shock.
"EXACTLY!" Miley yelled back and dumped her tray on me.
"Wow…you think you know a person." I said and stormed out of the cafeteria. Upset, and in my own little world, I went to the place I always go when I'm upset.
Surprise Surprise…there was Nate.
"What happened Allie?" he asked referring to my ruined clothes.
"Miley happened. Ughh…I thought we were friends." I said.
He hugged me, food and everything.
"Come one let's go get you changed." He said leading me back into the school.
He handed me his gym clothes, baggy sweats and a hoodie.
I slipped into the girl's bathroom and changed really quickly.
"Thank's Natey." I said and hugged him.
"THERE you are sweetheart!" Miley said to Nate but stopped when she said me…in his clothes. "With her...get away from him you little wannabe girlfriend! I'm his girlfriend and you never will be! Just leave him alone! That fantasy that he'll EVER love you back is just that. A FANTASY!"
Was this really happening? Was Miley really doing this?
I ran away from the two of them, tears threatening to come out, but I wouldn't cry. I would NOT cry!
Faintly, very faintly, I heard the 3 words I'd wanted to for so long.
"Miley. It's over!"
