The Edge (On Hold)

Part 6: Hanging with Miley

Variel POV

In my last class for the day Miley and I arranged for her to come with me after school. I also learnt a little more about her. Turns out she lives with her auntie and she has an older brother called Caleb, who is studying at Uni at the moment on how to be a doctor. I also found out she loves shopping and pizza, so it looks like that's what we will be doing after school.

Soon enough, the bell rang, and I was meeting up with Miley near the front of the school.

"Hey Variel! You ready to go?" She was grinning with excitement, and I wondered what it was she had in mind for this afternoon.

"Yea, hold up though I just got to text my mum, tell her what time we will be back." I reply.

"Okay."

I text my mum and let her know we won't be later than 9 seeing as I wanted to get some study in.

"Okay, lets go." I say to Miley and she smiles as we head to my car.

"Wait." I say, giving her a confused look. "What about your car?"

She smiles again, "Don't have one sadly. My Auntie just lives down the road and she doesn't see much point to one, even though there are a lot more uses than just driving to school."

"Oh okay then." I give her a smile. "So where to?"

She grins. "How about.... Rebel sport? I actually play hockey and need to get some stuff. Who knows? You might find something. After that we will head to the mall and get pizza!"

I grin back. "Sounds good to me."

I drive us down to the closest Rebel sport shop and Miley and I head inside. She heads towards the hockey sticks while I go to look at the skateboards. I had been a natural at skateboarding when I was younger. When my dad was alive. I guess I kind of just lost love for it just like I lost my dad.

After a little while of day dreaming and skateboard searching, I meet up with Miley who had grabbed herself a nice green hockeystick and a white mouthguard.

"Where did you run off to?" She asks as we head to the check-out.

"Oh, nowhere really. Just had a look around." I didn't really see the point in telling her about my old love for skateboarding so I kept it vague.

"Oh right. Well after I have bought this stuff we will head to the mall and buy some cloths!"

Miley looks so excited about the idea of going shopping with me that I decided to keep my complaints to myself.

We arrived at the mall and started going shop to shop. I didn't really want to buy anything but Miley insisted that I had to. So I ended up getting this grey jumper, a beanie with a cute penguin on it and a pair of vans shoes  with a pretty floral pattern that I liked the look of.

Miley tried to convince me to get some more things but I refused. I know for a fact that she got a heap more than I did, but I guess this is just her thing.

"Well," Miley huffs as we take a seat at Pizza Hut. "I think I got all I needed to survive Term 1." I laugh. "You sure? I saw this really cool skirt you would have liked..."

"Wait WHAT? Where??"

Her reaction is so funny that I end up laughing again. She looks so confused.

"Nowhere, I was just teasing ya." I chuckle. She rolls her eyes.

"Oh haha Variel. Just you wait, I will get you back someday..."

We both laugh.

Miley goes to grab our pizza while I stay outside to keep our seats. I grab out my phone and as I turn, I feel someone watching me again, since Miley and I headed out. The first time had been at Rebel Sport when I was holding this skateboard that reminded me a lot of the one I had as a kid, but I just brushed it off. After all the shop had been rather crowded.

But now, as I turn back around and go on the camera and turn it to face me, I angle it so I can see who it is that is watching me, that is if they are behind me. Nobody was there. I shake my head. I'm just thinking things.

Soon enough Miley comes back with our pizza and we dig in. Well more like Miley does and I take a couple and laugh with her as we talk about different things. It's about 6 so I'm not too time tight.

"Hey, it's only 6, is there anything else you wanted to do?" I ask Miley. Her face turns thoughtful.

"Well, first we go drop this stuff off in your car..... Then we could... Oh I know! We could go grab some snacks and watch a movie at your house!" It did sound good so I nodded.

"Yay!!" She exclaimed. She bounced out of her chair and we headed to my car, putting our bags of things we bought in the back seat. We headed to countdown and Miley grabbed some chips, ice-cream and some lollies called fruit-bursts.

As we headed back to my mum's house, Miley and I discussed what we would be watching.

"What about one of the Harry Potter ones? Haven't seen those in a while." I suggested.

"Oh yes! I used to be in love with those movies!" Miley replied.

"Ok, which one?"

"Hmm I reckon the last one. That has the most action to be honest." Miley says as she taps her nails on her thigh.

We head back to my place and get everything set up. We watched the movie, and it was hilarious how Miley acted like she was in the movie. I decided that she was probable a really good friend to have around when you are feeling down. She was so goofy and bubbly.

After the movie finished, I told her I would drive her home.

"But what about the mess?" She questions as we look around the trashed living room. I chuckle.

"Don't worry about it, I'll clean it up when I get back."

She grins and gives me a hug. "Thanks, I owe you one."

I smile, I think I just found my future best friend.
