Austin's POV
I work part-time at a smoothie stand in Miami on the weekends to earn some extra cash for school stuff. I wasn't really thrilled about this job, but it was the only one availiable at the time for an unexperinced 17 year old. It was my first day at work, a boring hot summer day, when they walk up. But to me it was only her. They were two teenage girls around my age. Both pretty, but one more younger than the other. They were obviously sisters. The younger one ordered first. She ordered a smoothie and batted her eyelashes at me. She was pretty, but I paid no attention to her, I wasn't interested in her. It was her sister that caught my attention. She had shoulder length brown highlighted hair and tanned skin. When her sister was done ordering, she walked up.
I smiled at her and she smiled and blushed back. "Can I have a mango smoothie, please?" she asked me. "Sure thing beautiful." She blushed. SCORE! While I got her smoothie ready, I asked, "So do you come here often?" If it was even possible she turned even redder because it sounded too much like a pick up line. She nervously laughed, and said " I'm new here, but I'm thinking to come every weekend." YES! I thought. I gave her the smoothie. As she turned away to leave, " I'm Austin", I called after her. She turned around, gave me a smile, and she said, "I'm Ally."

I go to Marino High. I was walking down the hallway with my football team when I saw her. I noticed she wasn't with her sister. One of my goofiest friends, Dezmond Dawson, went over to her and hugged her. "Hey, Ally Bear! How's it goin'?" Dez asked her with his arm over her shoulder. Was he her boyfriend? My fists tightened up at the thought. Wait, why should I care? She's not my girlfriend.
But you want her to be...
She laughed at him and she said, "I'm great, Dez." She saw me, and she said, "Oh, hi! Nice to see you again!". Dez looked at me and asked, " You guys know each other?" "We met at the smoothie stand I work at." she replied. "Well Austin , this here is my cousin Allyson. You can call her Ally though. She just moved here from California! She also met Mr. Bananas yesterday!" he told me. Ally giggled, "I got to get to class. see ya later." To me she said, "See ya around." I gave her one of my famous winks.
When she was out of sight, Dez asked me, "What do you think of her?" I felt myself get red and said, "What?". "I saw the way you looked at her. Heck, I saw you wink at her. I may be lost most of the time, but I know true love when I see it! That's why they call me the Love Whisperer" He smiled, whispering the last part. I looked at him weird. "So when are you going to ask her? " he said half teasing. With a more serious look, "You break her heart, you will not live to see another day." "Dude! Even if I asked her out, I would never hurt her." I said then and I hit him on the shoulder. The rest of the day I couldn't get the beautiful brunette out of my head. I promised myself that the next chance I had I would talk to her.
