Yeah, sorry I haven't updated in a week. I've been working on this the whole time though =] I hope you like this chapter and don't get to upset about Jake and Miley. Remember, this isn't a Jiley story, it's a Shiley story ;]

Miley's POV

"Is it alright with you guys if Jake hangs out with us today?" I asked as Jake and I walked into the parking lot.

"Fine with me." Nate said.

"Me too." Alex said. I smiled and turned to Jake.

"You wanna ride with me? You can show me how to get to your house." Jake said. I smiled and nodded quickly taking the offer.

"See you guys in a minute." I said. Nate and Alex got into Nate's car and began to drive off. Jake led me to his car.

"Wow. Nice car." I said as he unlocked the door and I got in.

"Thanks. I got it for my birthday. My grandparents went all out and gave it to me." Jake said. I grinned. He pulled out of the parking lot and started driving down the road.

"So how long have you been friends with Nate and Alex?" Jake asked.

"I've been friends with Nate and his brothers forever, literally. You'll get to meet Nate's brothers today. We're neighbors. I met Alex when I was seven I think. We've all been best friends since." I said. Jake nodded. "Turn left here." I said. He did as I said. I continued giving him directions until we got to my house. He pulled into my driveway and we got out.

When we walked in Nate and Alex were already in there. Nate must've used his key. My dad had given him the key for emergencies.

"Hey." I said. I sat down on the couch and Jake sat beside me. "Where's Shane and Jason?" I asked. Alex and Nate shrugged.

"They should be over here in a minute." Nate said. I nodded.

"Hey, do you mind if I use your bathroom?" Jake asked. I laughed.

"Not at all. Upstairs, first door on the right." I said. Jake got up and ran upstairs. The doorbell rang and I went and answered it. It was Shane and Jason.

"Hey Mi." Shane and Jason said as they hugged me. They came inside and sat down.

"How was y'alls first day of school?" Jason asked.

"Good." Nate said.

"Fine." Alex said.

"Amazing." I said as I sighed. I once again got a shocked expression. Jake came downstairs right as I was about to explain. "Oh, guys this is Jake." I said. He came and sat down beside me. I looked over and smiled at him.

"Hey." Jason said. Shane didn't say anything. Did I see him....glare at Jake? Jason nudged him on the arm and he smiled.

"Hey." Shane said in a fake happy tone. I looked at him with a questioning look and he just smiled at me. I shrugged it off.

"Anybody wanna go out and eat? I'm starving." Nate asked as he rubbed his stomach. Alex, Shane, and Jason decided to go.

"I'm not really hungry." Jake said.

"Yeah, me neither. We'll just stay here I guess." I said. I wanted to spend as much time with Jake as I could. I looked over and saw Shane frown.

"Well we'll see you guys later I guess." Alex said as they all got up and walked out. Alex turned around and mouthed 'have fun' to me. I smiled and they left.

Shane's POV

I couldn't tell what was wrong with me. Miley was obviously flirting with Jake and anger and jealousy overwhelmed me. I couldn't be jealous; I shouldn't be jealous. This was what Miley needed. She needed to get over me. Didn't she?

I was beginning to think I didn't want her to get over me. I was starting to like her more and more each day and it wasn't stopping. Why do I have to realize it now? Why couldn't I have realized it two months ago? If I would've realized it we would be together and happy hopefully. Now, she's found somebody new and I'm in love with her. Whoa, in love, did I actually say that? I never though I would say that, especially about Miley. Ugh, I knew this would happen. Nothing ever goes right for me.

"Miley seems like she really likes that Jake dude." Jason said. My heart dropped. I wasn't the only one who thought that. I quietly got into Nate's car like everyone else did.

"Yeah, she does. She told us." Alex said. Oh great, it wasn't just a thought. She actually does like him.

"He seems like he's pretty into her too." Nate said. I felt the same feeling I felt when Miley was flirting with him. Pure jealousy. My clenched my fists and bit my lip as I looked out the window sighing.

"Dude, are you okay?" Jason asked. I sighed and looked over at him and shook my head.

"No." I said.

"What's wrong?" Jason asked. Nate and Alex were listening to our conversation.

"I'm so stupid!" I exclaimed hitting the back of the front passenger seat Alex was sitting in. She turned around and looked at me like I was crazy.

"What do you mean?" She asked. I ran my hands through my hair angrily.

"I think I like Miley." I said. Alex looked back at me with shocked eyes.

"What? Now, you like her? Now?" She exclaimed.

"I know, I know I'm stupid." I said. Jason put a comforting hand on my shoulder and I put my face in my hands.

Miley's POV

"So.....what do you wanna do?" I asked Jake. He shrugged. No one ever knows what they want to do. A random idea popped into my head. "Let's make cookies!" I said. Jake busted out laughing.

"Okay." He said still laughing. I grabbed his hand a pulled him into the kitchen excitedly. I grabbed a cook book to make sure we had all the ingredients. I'd never made cookies from scratch, I'd always had the pre-made cookie dough. I ooked at the recipe and grabbed the ingredients we needed out of the different places they were in.

I opened a drawer in the kitchen and pulled out two aprons. I wanted to give off the whole cooking illusion. I gave one to him. They were both pink and they both had flowers on them. He looked down at the apron in his hand and looked back up at me.

"I am so not wearing this." He said. I looked up at him with a puppy dog face and he sighed and put the apron on. I clapped my hands excitedly as I put mine on to. He looked really funny but I decided not to laugh at him. I preheated the oven like the recipe said to do.

"Okay let's do this." I said. We did everything the recipe said and placed the balls of dough, that didn't look quite right on a cookie sheet. "It says to let them bake for 8 to 10 minutes." I said as I slid the cookie sheet in the oven and set a timer. We went and sat down at the table.

We waited anxiously for 8 minutes until the timer went off. I got up and looked at the cookies, they looked done. Jake opened the oven and got them out as I grabbed a plate. We took the odd looking cookies off the cookie sheet with a spatula and placed them on the plate.

"Now, we have to let them cool." I said. Jake nodded and was about to take his apron off. "Wait!" I exclaimed. He put his hands in the air.

"Okay." He said as he laughed. I ran upstairs quickly, grabbed my camera, and ran back downstairs. Jake groaned when he saw my camera.

"We have to take pictures." I said.

"You better not blackmail me with these pictures." Jake said. I laughed and we came together. I snapped a picture of us and looked at it. It was good. "Promise me you'll never show that to anyone." He said. I nodded as I laughed.

"Promise." I said. I went over to where the cookies were cooling. I touched one to see if it was cool and it was. I grabbed the plate of cookies and took them over to the table. We sat down and grabbed a cookie. We took a bite out of our cookies at the same time.

We looked at each other, we both had a disgusted look on our faces. I picked up a napkin and spit the bite of cookie I had just taken into it. Jake did the same.

"Those are the worst cookies I have ever tasted." I said. We both started giggling, then it turned into uncontrollable laughter. I held my stomach as I took a much needed breath.

"What in the world did we do wrong?" Jake asked. I went over and looked at the recipe. Jake came over and looked at the recipe over my shoulder.

"I have no clue." I said. We started laughing uncontrollably once again. "Why...... are ......we .....laughing?" I asked trying to catch my breath and stop laughing.

"I don't know.." Jake said as he laughed. I smiled. When we finally gained control of ourselves Jake spoke up.

"Well that was fun, even if the cookies were terrible.

"Definitely fun." I said. The doorbell rang and I went over and answered it. Nate, Alex, Shane, and Jason were back. They walked in and looked at us both weirdly.

"What are you two wearing?" Nate asked. We both looked down at ourselves and started laughing. We pulled off the aprons.

"Oh, we decided to bake cookies." I said. Alex laughed.

"You guys made cookies?" Jason asked, a little too excited as he ran over to the counter. We were about to tell him that the cookies were an epic fail but he shoved one into his mouth too quickly. He spit it out just as fast.

"Ugh, those are terrible." He said. We both nodded.

"Yeah, we forgot something." Jake said. Everyone started laughing, except for Shane and Jason who was still now chugging a glass of milk to get the taste out of his mouth. Shane looked sad or something. "I have to go. My mom's probably freaking out because I'm not home." Jake said. I frowned to myself. Jake and I walked outside.

"Thanks for making my first day at school a good one and thanks for inviting me to hang out. I had a lot of fun." He said.

"You're totally welcome." I said. Jake looked around as he put his hand on the back of his neck.

"Um...I know this might be kind of rushing things and I totally understand if you say no but, do you wanna go out with me tomorrow night?" Jake asked. I felt like screaming and happy dancing.

"Of course! I'd love to." I said. Jake smiled brightly. "Hey, I need your number." I said. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and handed it to Jake. He did the same. We punched our numbers into each others phones and gave them back.

"Okay, I'll see you tomorrow at school." He said. I smiled and waved goodbye to him. He walked down the driveway and got into his car and drove away. I walked back in the house, ecstatic. I couldn't help myself, I started 'happy dancing' right there. Jason started laughing.

"What in the world are you doing?" He asked. I smiled and continued dancing.

"Happy dancing." I replied.

"Why?" He asked, laughing at me.

"Jake asked me out." I said. Alex squealed as she ran over and hugged me. She started happy dancing with me. I saw Nate and Jason roll there eyes. Shane stood up, he looked hurt. What was wrong with him today?

"I'm gonna home you guys. I've got a lot of......homework." Shane said softly. Alex and I stopped happy dancing.

"No you don't. It's your first day." Jason said. Shane looked over and glared at him.

"Yes, I do. I'll see you guys later." Shane said angrily. He walked out of the door. The room got silent and I felt I was missing something.

"What is it you guys?" I asked.

"N-nothing. Ugh, don't worry about Shane. He's just being, well, Shane." Nate said as he smiled calmly. I gave him a look and he kept the smile on his face.

"Okay? Well...I need to go to bed. Alex you wanna spend the night?" I asked. I really wanted to talk to her. She held up one finger to me and went over to the side. I heard her talking to her mom, apparently asking if she could stay.

"My mom said I could. I don't have any clothes though." She said.

"You can wear some of mine, like always." I said. She smiled and nodded. Nate came over and kissed Alex and hugged me. Jason hugged both of us. They said goodbye and walked out the door.

"Do you know what's wrong with Shane?" I asked. Alex looked around for a minute.

"Nothings wrong with him. Honest." She said. I rolled my eyes, I knew she was lying but I decided to not bug her about it. We both changed into some of my pajamas and I set up two sleeping bags in the living room.

"So when are you and Jake going out?" Alex asked. I grinned happily.

"Tomorrow." I said enthusiastically. She nodded. We both lied down and within seconds we were asleep. I woke up about ten minutes later to my cellphone ringing. I picked it up, I had one new text message. It was from Jake. My heart sped up as I flipped my phone open.

I can't wait until tomorrow. - Jake

I smiled as I text back.

Me neither. - Miley

I waited for a second until my phone rang again.

Goodnight :) - Jake

I smiled once again.

Goodnight :D - Miley

I flipped my phone shut and layed it beside my head. I lied there trying to go back to sleep but I couldn't. I kept thinking about Shane. I wondered how I felt about him. Was I still in love with him? Did I ever actually love him or was it just a huge crush? I also really wanted to know what was wrong with him. I decided to text him. I picked up my phone and started.

Are you okay? - Miley

A few second later my phone rang again. I was beginning to wonder why Alex hadn't woken up yet. I shrugged and flipped open my phone.

Dandy. Goodnight. - Shane

I sighed. Did he not want to talk me? Was he mad at me? What did I do wrong? I fell asleep after deciding not to text back.

I woke up in the morning, it was 5:30. Normally I would've rolled over and gone back to sleep but I didn't. I happily jumped out of my warm sleeping bag. I ran into the bathroom and quickly took a shower. I blow dried my hair and then came back out to wake Alex up. It was only 5:50, good thing she was a morning person.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" I said as I shook Alex. She rolled over and rubbed her eyes.

"What time is it?" She asked groggily. I bit my lip and smiled.

"Five-fifty." I said. She sighed and rolled back over, ready to go back to sleep. I shook her again. "Please get up. I need you to help me get ready." I said. She rolled back over and sat up. I smiled.

"Fine." She said. She walked into the bathroom and took a shower and blow dried her hair too. I sat on the couch and watched TV while I waited. When she came back out I jumped up excitedly and ran over to her.

"Will you help me pick out an outfit and then do my hair?" I asked. She nodded. She looked more awake and like herself then. We walked upstairs and into my room. We searched through my closet and picked out an outfit for both of us. We got dressed and went back downstairs and into the bathroom. I sat down in a chair and Alex straightened my hair. I did the same to her. We both applied our makeup and looked in the mirror.

"We look pretty darn hot." I joked. We both laughed. We grabbed our stuff and walked over to the Gray's house not even bothering to see what time it was. We rang the doorbell and Nate, who was still in his pajamas answered the door.

"Dude, it's six thirty." He said sleepily.

"Oops." I said. We walked into the house. Nate walked back upstairs to go to sleep. I sighed. Mrs. Gray, who was cooking breakfast, walked over to us and hugged us.

"You two look pretty today." She said. We both smiled and thanked her.

"What time do the boys get up?" Alex asked.

"They should be up now. You guys can go wake them up if you want." She said. We looked at each other and grinned while we walked upstairs.

"I got Shane. You wake up Nate." I said. She nodded. I opened the door and walked into Shane's room. He looked so cute sleeping. He was so peaceful. I felt the special feeling I felt when I was around him and knew I wasn't over him yet. I sighed as I went over and sat beside him on his bed. I watched his bare stomach go up and down for a minute.

"Shane? Shaney, wake up." I said as I gently shook him. He groaned and buried his head into his pillow. I continued shaking him gently. Finally he sat up. I looked at him and smiled, he did not return the gesture.

"I'm up." He said. I was a little hurt by his tone but I shrugged it off. I got up an slowly started walking out of his room.

"O-okay, see you later." I said as I smiled. He actually did smile that time. It was a weak, fake smile though. I shook my head and walked out the door. Nate and Alex were standing in the hallway. Nate walked over to Jason's door and beat on it. We heard a crash inside the room and Jason saying 'ow'. He must've fallen off the bed

"Get up." Nate said. I laughed and we walked downstairs. We said goodbye to Mrs. Gray and walked outside. We got into Nate's car once again and started driving to school.

"I swear some thing's wrong with Shane." I said. Nate sighed and Alex nudged his arm.

"No, he's fine. Really. Right, Nate?" Alex asked.

"Oh, yeah." Nate said, convincing me.

"See?" Alex asked. I nodded. We got to school and Nate parked his car. We walked in and got our books.

"I'll see you guys next period." I said. I really wanted to see Jake again. They nodded so I started walking to the computer classroom. When I got there, Jake was sitting in the same spot he was yesterday. I bit my lip and smiled as my heartbeat sped up.

"Hey." I said. He jumped and turned around smiling at me.

"Hey yourself." He said. I walked over and sat beside him. I looked at the clock. We were really early. The class didn't start for another twenty minutes. We sat there in silence for a moment until he spoke up. "So where do you wanna go today?" He asked. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled.

"It doesn't matter to me. Wherever you wanna go." I said. He nodded.

"Do you want to go out and eat or something else?" He asked.

I laughed. "I don't know." I said, looking down at the ground shyly.

"Well, we'll figure it out." He said. I nodded and he looked around the room. We sat there and talked about really random stuff until people started piling into the classroom. The class started and ended really fast. The rest of the day went by fast, too. Before I knew it the last bell rang. I went to my locker and tried to find Nate and Alex but I couldn't.

"Ready to go?" Jake asked as he came up behind me. I turned around and smiled.

"Yeah." I said. We walked outside of the school and got into his car. We decided we were going to go eat something. We got to the restaurant and sat down at a booth and ordered our food. We got our food and started eating, talking about random things once again. It felt so right, being with him. He understood me and understood him. We agreed on everything. It was perfect.

"You know you're really beautiful." Jake said. I looked down at the table and played with the fork that was in front of me.

"Thanks." I said. He smiled.

"I don't think I've ever met anyone like you." Jake said. I gave him a questioning look.

"Do you mean that in a good or bad way?" I asked. He laughed.

"Definitely good." He said and I smiled. The waitress came and got our plates when we were done eating. We payed and then walked outside and got into his car. We just sat there for a minute.

"I've never met anyone like you, either." I said.

"Do you mean that in a good or bad way?" Jake asked mocking me.

"Definitely good." I said, mocking him right back. We both started laughing. He turned on the car and started driving to my house.

"Sorry we really didn't do anything special." He said.

"It's okay. I had fun. First dates are overrated anyway." I said as I giggled. We pulled into my driveway. "You wanna stay a while?" I asked. He shook his head.

"I can't. My uh....mom wants me to....uh....come home." He said. He sounded like he was lying but I just brushed that thought off.

"Okay. Maybe some other time." I said as I smiled. He nodded.

"I'll see you later." He said. He leaned in and kissed me lightly on the lips at first, then it got deeper. My head started spinning. When we parted I smiled like an idiot. He smirked. "Uh...bye." He said. He walked off and got into his car. He waved goodbye to me before he drove off. My heart was beating extremely fast. I felt like I was on top of the world.

I opened the door to my house and walked in. No one was home so I walked right back out and over to the Gray household. I knocked on the door and Jason answered it. Alex and Nate were playing some kind of video game. She quickly ran over when she saw me.

"Oh my gosh! How'd it go? Was it fun? Where'd you go? What'd you do? Do you like him? Did you kiss? Are you going out again?" Alex asked quickly and took a much needed deep breath.

I giggled. "Alex, calm down." I said. She laughed at herself and we went over and sat down on the couch. Jason had taken Alex's place; he was playing the video game with Nate. They were really into it and weren't paying us any attention.

"Tell me everything." She said. I explained everything that had happened. "Oh my gosh! That is so cool! Is he a good kisser?" She asked. I smiled and laughed.

"Definitely." I said. She laughed once again and I looked around the room. "Where's Shane?" I asked.

"In his room." She said. I got up and walked upstairs. I knocked on his door but he didn't say anything, so I just walked in. He was lying on his bed listening to his iPod with his eyes closed. I walked over and sat on his bed. He opened his eyes and took the ear buds out of his ears.

"Hey." I said. He glared at me.

"Hey." He said angrily.

"Whoa, okay what did I do?" I asked. He shook his head.

"Nothing." He said calmly.

"Are you mad at me or something?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders. "Shane, tell me what's wrong." I said.

"Have fun with your boyfriend?" He asked icily. I gave him a confused look.

"He's not my boyfriend Shane." I said. He rolled his eyes.

"So, you kiss friends like that?" He asked. I blushed.

"How'd you see that?" I asked.

"Ugh, Never mind, Mi. Sorry I haven't been nice to you today." He said. Wow, bipolar much?

"Um....that's okay, I guess." I said. He smiled and hugged me. "What in the world is up with you?" I asked as I laughed. "This morning you hated my guts and now you're hugging me. Are you okay?" I asked.

He started laughing. "Yeah, I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm sorry." He said. I shrugged my shoulders and smiled. "So." He began as he cleared his throat. "Did you have a good time?" He asked.

"Yeah, I had a really great time." I said. He rubbed the back of his neck and nodded. "I don't know it seems like we're meant to be together. I seriously think he's the one, Shane. He's so, perfect for me." I said. That used to be what I said about Shane. What happened?

"I'm s-so happy for you." He said as he smiled. It was silent for a moment. "Um, so d-does that mean that.....you know you're....um....over me?" He asked. I gulped. Was I over him? What did being 'over' him mean anyway? I'm in love with him right? You can't un-love someone. Was I ever really in love with him?

"You know, Shane, I don't know. It seems like the more time I spend with Jake, the more I like him and I get over you." I said. Shane closed his eyes for a minute then opened them. "But, hey! That's a good thing for you! We can go back to the way things were before all this stuff happened." I said.

"Yeah." Shane said. His voice sounded sort of hurt but he had a huge smile on his face; the smile that could make me smile no matter what was happening. We continued talking like the best friends we were, until I fell asleep on his bed, like I had done so many times before.

Did you like it? Hate it? Review and tell me =] Lol :) (It's okay if you hate it, I don't really like this chapter, too much Jake and Miley =])
