"Hypnotized"

Chapter 1

It was a breezy, Autumn Sunday afternoon and was actually starting to get a little chilly in Malibu. Lilly, Miley, Oliver, and Jake sat on the floor of Miley's warm bedroom working on their projects for the science fair.

"I'm bored." Said Lilly, throwing down her pencil. "I have no idea what to do for this stupid project."

Lilly glanced over at Oliver's empty notebook page. "And apparently you don't have a clue either." She said while elbowing him in the ribs.

"Well, I know what I'm going to do!" Exclaimed Miley as she stood up, "I'm going to do a project on whether hypnosis really works or not."

Everyone groaned.

"Miley, why do you have to pick something so complicated?" asked Jake while rolling his eyes.

"Yeah." Agreed Lilly. "We're only doing this for extra credit. It's not like it's for a grade or anything."

Oliver's notebook slide off his lap as he leaned back and lied down on the floor groaning. "Let's just forget it and move on with our lives." He said while rubbing his head. "It's giving me a headache."

"Oh, come on guys! It'll be fun. Oh, I know! Instead of us all doing our own projects, let's just all do this one together, ok?" Miley said happily.

"Whatever." Replied Lilly. "So, what do we do first?"

"Well, first we need to figure out who we're going to try to hypnotize for our experiment." Said Miley excitedly. She was really getting into it. "Let's make it be one of us for the first time." She said. "That way we can test it and see if it's actually worth doing or not."

"Oh don't worry. It's not worth doing." Said Lilly smiling.

"Yes it is!" assured Miley, getting annoyed. "It'll be fun."

"I'm sure not gonna do it." Replied Oliver, not moving from his spot on the floor.

"Well, I don't want to do it either!" Lilly said quickly.

"Not me." Said Jake.

"Oh, what a bunch of babies." Miley said to the group. "Why don't we just draw straws?"

"Why can't you just do it, Miley?" Lilly said. "Why does it have to be one of us and not you?"

"Because," Miley said. "I'm the only one who knows how to do this thing and if I'm hypnotized, how can I run the experiment?"

Lilly leaned over to Oliver, "She's got an answer for everything."

Oliver nodded and smiled.

"I heard that." Said Miley before she ran to the kitchen and came back with three straws, all different sizes.

"Ok, whoever gets the shortest straw has to let us try to hypnotize them."

How do I get myself into these messes? Lilly thought to herself.

Jake grabbed a straw first and was happy to see that it was pretty long. Oliver grabbed the next straw and saw that it was just a little shorter than Jake's. Lilly then grabbed the last straw and held her breath as she looked down at it. It was the shortest of them all.

Lilly sighed to herself. What did I ever do to deserve this? She thought.

"Ok Jake, I want you to hypnotize her." Miley directed.

"Why me?" Jake said aloud. "I don't know what to do."

"Just listen to my instructions." Replied Miley.

"Whatever." Jake replied.

Miley read from her book about hypnosis and instructed Jake on what to do. Oliver decided this project might not be so boring after all and came over to sit next to Lilly. Lilly sat on the floor and watched the pendant go back and forth, back and forth... She thought to herself, this isn't really going to work. Just don't let it get to you. But despite her thoughts, she actually felt herself becoming very tired...

"Ok Jake, now tell her to do something." Miley said.

Jake thought for a moment. Then he suddenly got a huge smile on his face. He knew how liven up this boring assignment.

Jake looked at Lilly, now in a trance, and said, "When I snap my fingers, you will fall in love with the first guy you see."

"Jake!" Miley yelled. "What are you trying to do? You know who's she's gonna see either you or Oliver!"

Oliver became wide-eyed when he heard his name.

"Oh Miley, I'm just trying to have some fun!" And with that, he snapped his fingers, Lilly awoke, Jake ducked down and Lilly looked straight into the eyes…of Oliver.

Was it awful? This is my first fanfic ever and I thought it was pretty good considering I have no idea what I'm doing. Please review and let me know what you think.
