"Mr. Moon?"
Austin snapped out of his daze upon hearing his name, his eyes widening.
"Would you like to answer the question anytime soon?" The teacher sneered.
"Um, could you repeat it please?" Austin quaked. He hadn't been paying attention for the last forty-three minutes and he had been praying that the teacher wouldn't notice till the bell finally rang. You couldn't blame him for spacing out though, Ms. Hamilton made chemistry sound just as exciting as watching grass grow.
"I asked," Ms. Hamilton repeated, clearly annoyed, "What is an ionic bond?"
"A bond that's ionic?" Austin guessed, expecting her to explode right then and there.
BRRRING!
"You got lucky this time Mr. Moon, but you better start paying attention in my class or-"
"Sure, okay bye Ms. H!" Austin practically flew out the classroom and out the school. He had lots of calls to make.
"Who throws a party in the beginning of the year?" Trish asked as she tore a poster down from the Student Activities bulletin board. "What do you celebrate, homework?"
"Hey, at least we get free drinks." Ally reasoned. "But then again, we'd be hungover the next morning in class."
"Exactly. Do you really want to go that bad?"
"Come on, Trish! We'll meet new people, and get free food." Ally pointed out, slinging her arm over Trish's shoulder. "Plus, I heard there's gonna be a pool. You love pools!"
"Alright, alright I surrender." Trish put her hands up in defeat and rolled her eyes.
"Yay! Now let's go to the mall, I need a new outfit."
Ally stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was wearing a bright turquoise fitted bodycon dress that Trish had chosen, she'd made a whole big deal on how Ally would look 'adorably hot' in it. But Ally had a whole different type of outfit in mind.
She had heard that Austin Moon was hosting the party. The Austin Moon. Ally didn't like, like him or anything but she couldn't deny he was pretty hot.
She had seen him in the hallways and spotted him on the beach once but she hadn't really formally met him. But from what she knew, that golden blond hair combined with that tan body just did things to her, well... certain parts of her.
Ally picked up the hanger that held the skirt that had caught her eye as soon as she had walked into the store. She had chosen a loose white cutout tank to pair with the tight skirt and she planned to wear her gold and black strappy high heeled sandals. She slipped out of the dress and she slipped the skirt on. The tight leather and loose cotton were a perfect pair and they fit her petite frame perfectly.
"Trish, it's love at first sight!" Ally shouted across the dressing rooms.
"Well, let me see." Trish yelled back.
As Ally stepped out of the small fitting room, Trish gasped.
"This really is it." Trish looked like she was about to tear up.
Ally glanced at the clock above the fitting rooms across her's. It read 6:38.
"We should get going. The party starts at 7." Ally said nodding towards the clock.
"Relax Ally, we'll be fashionably late."
