Chapter 5

On Monday at school Miley watched Oliver and Lilly very closely, trying to figure out how it was even possible. Miley knew that at lunch, things would get awkward, but she sat with the two of them anyways.

" Hi Miley!" Oliver said.

"Hi guys… what's up?" Miley answered.

"Nothing much, just doing stuff… you know how couples are!" Oliver said looking suspicious.

Miley immediately caught on that there was more to the relationship than she thought. She knew that Oliver was not a good liar, and that he was acting strange. So, she tried to ask hard questions.

"So, when did this whole dating thing start?"

Oliver looked at Lilly and gave her a nod telling her to answer the question. "Just last Friday…"

Miley knew that that was a simple answer that anyone could get away with, so she dug further. "How did you guys start… like who asked and when exactly?"

Lilly looked at Oliver trying to think of an answer. " Well… Oliver asked me. He's so daring isn't he? I didn't think he had it in him! We were walking home from school together and he just came right out and said it!"

Lilly gave Oliver a nudge and he nodded immediately looking like he had stage fright at the lunch table.

" Well I'm going to go to the library before math starts… I have to catch up on my studies…" Oliver said.

"Ummm… ok. You go do that Oliver!" Miley said.

"I'm coming too… I need to work on some homework that I didn't do last night. Shhh!" Lilly faked a giggle and hurried with Oliver.

"What was that Oliver? You need to seriously work on your acting skills… or Miley's going to catch on! She's not even going to get jealous at all if you keep this up!" said Lilly.

"I know… its just really hard to pretend that I like you like you when I don't."

" Well you better start liking me quick cuz I think Miley already knows that we are faking!"
