''Ally this is Austin Moon''
I politely smiled at the boy my friend just introduced me too. He smiled back as he stood caring a sports bag that held his uniform and holding his helmet in his right hand. This wasn't really my scene. Football games. But Trish suddenly decided to be a supportive girlfriend and wanted to cheer on her boyfriend Dez. The funny part is the he doesn't even play football, he's apart of the marching band. A tuba player to be exact.
''Hey guys! How do you think I did?'' Trish's boyfriend asked running toward us holding his tuba. Trish gave him a kiss of approval, which Dez happily returned. ''Austin, thanks for waiting buddy'' Dez said removing his grip form Trish to extend out a hand of gratitude. The blonde boy smiled and replied with a 'Don't mention it'. ''So you guys wanna celebrate?'' Dez asked putting his arm around Trish. Celebrate, really? I just wanted to go home.
''I'm actually going to head home.'' I said eyeing Trish hoping she would agree seeing as that she was my ride. To my dismay Trish decided to celebrate and I was without a ride.
''I can give you a ride.'' I turned around seeing where the voice came from. To be honest I totally forgot that he was still standing there. I hesitated but I didn't want sit in a car with those to love birds so I accepted his offer.
Anybody who is anybody knows who Austin Moon is. He was the quarterback of the football team, student body president and most importantly the most popular guy in school. He wasn't like all cliché popular guys, he was nice and smart but the thing that makes me forget about all the good things is the fact that he was a total player and disgustingly all the girls where into that because the one thing they all had in common was the fact that they thought they could change him. That they were going to be different from all the other girl but they were all the same type.
I didn't hate the guy, he never really gave me a reason to, the only thing I heard about him was the rumours that floated around school. And the occasional make-out session near my locker. But other than that I hardly knew the guy.
''Do you mind if we stop and get a bite to eat?'' He asked as we pulled in front of a diner. Well I couldn't really say no now could I, seeing as that we were already here. ''Sorry, I just didn't want to be in the same room as Trish and Dez as they sucked each others faces off'' I smiled agreeing stepping out of the car.
''I get it. Sometimes they tend to forget that there not alone.'' I said following him into the diner where we were greeted by a waitress that escorted us to our seats handing us our menus. It was weird how I never really said more than a sentence to Austin Moon and now I'm sitting in front of him alone in a diner. ''You had a great game'' I spoke trying to defuse the awkwardness
''Thanks Ally'' He said politely smiling at me. I was shocked that he actually knew my name. I mean I wasn't a nobody but I also wasn't tight with the popular's if you know what I mean. About to reply I was interrupted by the waitress.
''What can I get you guys?'' She said sweetly fixing her eyes on Austin. I rolled my eyes disgusted at her attempt to be coy with her flirting. What do these girls seen in him? ''I'll get the mac and cheese'' I said handing her the menu, releasing her from the flirty eyes she was giving Austin. ''I'll get a cheese burger with fries'' He said looking up also handing her the menu.
I was shocked at the fact that Austin was unable to notice her stare. I let out a small laugh. ''You really didn't see that?'' I asked whispering looking at the waitress that was telling the chefs our orders. He shook his head not understanding. ''She was totally flirting with you!''
He checked her out and smiled probably at the fact that she was pretty. ''How can she not, look at me'' He said jokingly. I rolled my eyes not impressed with his sudden cockiness.
''I can tell confidence is key with you.'' I said not sounding interested anymore.
He laughed at my sudden change in attitude. ''Well since were on the subject to checking people out, that guy has been looking at you since we sat down.'' Austin whispered trying not to make it obvious.
Slowly turning around I made eye contact with a man who immediately removed his gaze from mine. ''First of all that guys is like forty and second of all guys don't check me out.'' I stated taking a sip of my water. Austin looked at me unconvinced. ''I'm serious. Guys don't look at me like that'' I said with a more serious tone in my voice.
''I think you're beautiful.'' He stated. I couldn't tell whether or not he was being serious or genuine, either way I could tell he was starting to turn on his well known charm and it was my duty to deflect it.
''Okay trouble-''
I was cut off by our waitress placing our orders in front of us ''Mac and cheese, and your burger'' She said looking satisfied, we thanked her and was on her way. ''Do you think I should have gotten her number?'' Austin asked seriously taking a bit into on of his fries. I laughed shaking my head in reply, shrugging it off he started to devour his burger.
Slowly but surly my opinion of Austin started to changed as the night progressed. Turns out Austin and I have a lot in common, shocker right! But we also don't agree in a lot of things, like the fact that he thinks pancakes are more delicious than pickles! Clearly he was never had deep fried pickles before! ''So what you're trying to tell me is that you've never had a boyfriend before?'' Austin asked astonished.
''Nope, never'' I said popping the 'p'.
''So that means you've also never had a first kiss?'' I nodded laughing at his confused expression.
''Look, I know it's weird but I like to think were all meant to be with one person and I guess I'm more patient than others.''
''You believe in that soul mate B.S?'' Smiling at Austin's comment I answered ''Of course I do, don't you?'' He shook his head in response. Add that to the list of things we don't agree on. We were interrupted by the waitress placing the cheque on our table, how long have we been eating? I reached for my bag grabbing my wallet when Austin told me that he was capable of paying, such a guy thing to do.
The night had ended with Austin dropping me off at my place around 8:30, I thanked him for that night and was on my way. One thing I took away from this night was my opinion of Austin Moon.
Well there you have it! This isn't going to be that long of a story, probably three to four chapters. Review and tell me what you guys think.
