Hey guys, its brokensmiles143 :D I decided to start story right after the last chapter of If We Last. If you dont know who I am, I wrote Two Homes, and If We Kiss, and the sequel, If We Last. So go and check those out! And for those who DO know me, welcome my loyal readers :D haha okay well here we go!
It was Friday night. It wasn't any normal Friday night, because I would usually be in my sweats and in my bed my now. But today's the day of the homecoming dance. At first, I didnt want to go, but somehow Trish, my stern best friend, convinced me to go. She kept bugging me about it, dropping hints like, "You know the dance is tomorrow night," and, "I saw this dress at the mall that would look absolutely gorgeous on you." And the one that just about broke me, "I need my best friend there with me! Come on, if you're really my best friend, you'll go with me." Ok that made me crack. If anything, I have to be the best friend ever. At this point, being a good friend is at the top of my list. I sighed as I patted my ruby red dress that Trish and I went shopping for.
We went shopping for a whole week before the dance, getting dresses, buying shoes, matching purses, and whatnot. I had to admit that it was really tiring, and I was completely exhausted after, but I had to admit to myself that I looked amazing.
"You look amazing Ally." I turned around to see Trish behind me with a big smile on her face. Trish had on her famous sparkly purple dress. She was helping me get ready for tonight, She had finished all our hair and makeup. She curled my hair just a bit at the end, and added a light eye shadow and mascara to my face. "Thanks Trish, you look amazing too." She went really simple, and had a small amount of blush and lip gloss on. She also had a light coat of eye shadow and eye liner on. It was absolutely gorgeous. It was almost time to go, so I slipped on my red high heels, grabbed my purse, and Trish and I headed over to her car.
Trish and I were chatting about the dance on the car ride there. "Ooh what if we meet someone there, and they could be our prince charming?" For a stern, crazy, and sometimes violent girl, Trish can have a wild imagination. I rolled my eyes at her. "Trish it's one school dance. And have you been to our auditorium? It's not exactly the most romantic place on earth." I heard her scoff and sigh. "Ally, don't think like that. It's a special night, who knows what could happen?"
The auditorium was loud, and filled with bright lights and the pounding of music. It was playing a familiar song, and so I started to close my eyes a bit and rocking back and forth to the music. When the song ended, I looked around to see Trish out of sight. I sighed and walked around a bit, and I still couldn't find her. Maybe she went to the bathroom or something. I walked over to the DJ table and I started to dance a bit, trying not to catch the attention of anyone due to my terrible dancing. To be honest, I was trying my hardest to have fun, but I'd much rather be in m bed at home and just maybe write a new song.
A couple minutes later, I was parched. I walked over to the refreshment table, which was scattered with a bunch of goodies, starting from chips and salsa, to a different assortment of candies. I decided to drink something and started to pour myself some punch. I grabbed the ladle and a cup and started to pour some, when someone bumped into me and knocked the cup out of my hand, causing the punch to pour all over the front my dress. I stared at the wet spot on the front of my dress.
I felt a tap on my shoulder. "Oh my God I'm so sorry!" I looked up at the voice and saw a tall guy with shaggy blonde hair, and a worried expression on his face. I shook my head and grabbed some napkins to try to clean it up. "Here let me help you." He grabbed my hand and took me into the girls bathroom.
"Um this is the girls bathroom." He grabbed some paper towels and wet them. "Yeah, but I think it's be worse for you if you were in the boys bathroom. So its more comfortable for you." I smiled at him.
"Thank you, umm..." I was trying to figure out his name, he looked vaguely familiar. "Austin." He filled in the blank. "Austin Moon." He gave me a warm smile.
"Ok, thanks Austin. Oh by the way, I'm-"
"Ally, I know." I looked at him weirdly as he came over to me and started to dab my dress with the paper towel. He looked up at me and saw the weird expression on my face. " I remember you sat in front of me in math class in 8th grade." So that's where I've seen him before, besides just passing each other in the hallways.
He was finishing up cleaning my dress, which I thought was so sweet, and then he started to chuckle and then shake his head. "What?" I ask. He shakes his head like its not a big deal. " Its nothing really, I just remember in 8th grade, I had sort of a crush on you." I looked at his shockingly. "Really?" I let out a little giggle. He nods his head. "Yeah, my best friend told me that I had it bad. I would always tell him how pretty your hair looked that day, or how we talked for maybe a couple minutes in class, or maybe how you were always involved in your brown book of yours." I slightly blushed at his words. He just keeps getting more incredibly sweet. He gave me his incredibly charming smile and then finished up my dress.
"There." He stood up and threw all the towels away. "All better. Well sort of." He pointed to the still wet spot on my dress, but it was water wet. I giggled and dried it off. "It's okay, but thank you. Really, I could have just cleaned it off myself." He came up to me, lifted me up, and set me on the sink. He did it so easily, it makes me wonder how skinny and light I really am. I giggled and looked him straight in the eye. "No, I couldn't let you do that. I mean I bumped into you, so had to help you. You know, I was born to be a gentleman." I gave me this genuine smile that made me smile, and giggle at the same time.
"Well I should get back to the dance, my friend's probably looking for me." He nodded and opened the door for me. I smiled and turned to him. I got on my tippy toes, grabbed his shoulders, and kissed him quickly on the cheek. I pulled away and hopped away happily to the dance. While back with Austin, I could've sworn that he had the slightest hint of pink on his cheeks.
I walked back to the auditorium, still not being able to find Trish anywhere. I wandered around for a bit before someone came up behind me and asked, "Find your friend yet?" I whipped my head around to see Austin with a more than happy expression on his face. "Not yet, I don't know where she went. I mean she's not exactly hard to spot." Which is 100% true. Her personality and the way she looked tonight combined, creates one of the most liveliest people I've ever met.
"Well I cant find my friend either, so do you want to maybe like hang out or something?" He paused for a bit before continuing. "Or you dont have to you know.." He trailed off as he shoved his hands deep into his jean pockets and rocked back and forth on his heels. I giggled at him and nodded my head. "I'd love to hang out with you." His smile increased as he grabbed my hand and pulled me to a table.
"Really?" He nods and laughs. "It was so crazy but so fun at the same time." He was telling me the story of how he and his best friend Dez were having this fight with the soap bubbles of when he was washing the dishes. He finished his story and then just started to look at me. I looked up from my salad and saw his with a small smile on his face. "What?" I ask, and he just shakes his head. "Nothing." He starts to finish up his food and we eat the rest, talking about the stories of our lives.
It's around 10 o'clock and the dance is pretty much over. I finished talking to Austin and I started to look for Trish again, seeing that she is my ride home. I groan loudly and call her phone, but she doesnt answer. I roll my eyes and keep looking for her. "Are you okay?" I turn around and I see, nonetheless, Austin. I shake my head. "No, somehow my best friend disappeared and now I dont have a ride home." I try calling her one more time, but it goes straight to voicemail.
"Want me to give you a ride home?" Austin walks over to me and shrugs. "No, thats okay, I can just walk home." I started to walk out but then Austin reaches for my wrist and pulls me towards him. He chuckles. "I'm not letting you walk home by yourself. Come on, dont you trust me?" He starts to lead me out and we get into his car. I tell him the directions to my house.
When we get to my house, he parks the car and I get out. He walks me to my porch and faces me. "Well I'll see you then, I guess." He nods and looks at me for a bit. Then he leans in and kisses my cheek softly before walking back to his car. I walk inside and flop down onto my bed, thinking what would happen if I didnt go to the dance tonight.
A/N: Ok I decided to stop it there. So what'd you think guys? It's a new story so I'd love to be able and get some reviews to see what I should do. Like some ideas maybe? Most of you know that you guys can PM me too! Okay well I'll see you later, :D xoxox
