This is my new story! Hope you guys like it!
Hi. My name is Ally Dawson. I've always had a passion for skating. It's always been my dream to besom e afamous ice skater, but considering my mom just wants me to become a psychiatrist, or a doctor...it's a lot of pressure. College was years away for me considering I was only in the 9th grade. But my mom really likes to think ahead. But in order to get to the top, you have to start at the bottom. I work at a food cart in a skating rink. It's not the most luxurious job in the world, but it pays.
"Umm..enjoy your hot dog." I said awkwardly while handing them their change.
"Whatever." Sydney Becker said.
She was a very popular girl in my school. She had a crew of four more girls behind her. There was Emma Thompson, Lexi McAllister, Isabella Davis and Taylor Reed. Of course, I was a very unpopular person. I'm not the smatest kid in school, but I am pretty quiet. Most people in school always thinks that the quiet kids are the smartest kids, but don't be mistaken. I wasn't necessarilly a geek, not a popular, but maybe an Inbetweener..that wears glasses and sweaters all the time.
After I handed her the food, I quickly took off my apron, and finished my shift to look around to see if there was anybody else left in the rink. It was empty, so of course, I just had to skate for a bit.
"Here's the keys. You lock up, tonight. Good luck!" Trish said.
Trish is my best friend. She doesn't wear glasses or anything. She's actually pretty decent. She could even be a popular girl if she wanted, but she's not mean.
I smiled and grabbed the keys from her.
"Thanks, Trish." I said.
I wonder what the "good luck" was for.
I put on my skates, and my feet slid on the ice. I made shapes all around the rink. I thought I was a really good skater. I smiled and just slid all around, with my arms in the air, and I kept my balance.
Suddenly I heard someone clapping. I quickly turned around and saw a guy with blonde messy hair who looked really tall. He smiled at me, and of course I fell down. He ran towards me, and helped me up.
"Are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I think so." I said still touching my head.
"I'll get you some ice." He said, and ran off and was back about a second later. He handed it to me, and put it on my head.
"This should help" He said.
"Thanks." I said.
"I'm sorry I scared you. I didn't know anybody was here." He said.
"I didn't know anybody was here either. I thought I was the only one." I said.
"My name's Austin." He said while shaking my hand.
"I'm Ally- well some people call me Allyson, because it's my real name, but my friends or "friend" just calls me Ally for short. But you can just call me Ally." I said very quickly.
Way to go, Dawson.
As you can see, I'm really bad at talking to guys.
Austin laughed and smiled. He was really good looking.
"Well, of course everyone knows you. Your the Austin Moon. You're like the most popular guy in school!" I said.
"Yeah, I guess." Austin said smiling.
"Hey, aren't you on the hockey team at school?" I asked.
"Yep. I'm #1. But I'm mostly a goalie." He said.
"You should check it out sometime!" Austin added.
"Yeah, totally!" I said a little loud.
"Well, I gotta go, but I'll see you around, Ally! I hope your head feels better!" Austin said while winking and walking away.
"So cute." I whispered.
What was I thinking? A guy like him would never like a girl like me. I know it seems a little clishe, about girls saying that all the time, then they end up getting together with their "prince," but this was different. This time, there was just no way! Not in this fairy tale!
I eventually stopped skating, and locked up. When I turned around there was the cold wind hitting my face. I forgot that it was winter. I didn't have a car. I don't know what times the bus comes and it was pitch black dark outside. I usually just had a skate board that I rode everywhere. That's how I go to the skating rink. But then again, it wasn't dark outside, and it was hot earlier.
I sighed knowing I could never survive with just a skateboard out here. Then I saw someone working on their car. I walked towards the car, and saw Austin.
"Austin, what are you still doing out here?" I asked.
"Well, I had a little car trouble." Austin said.
"What about you? I thought you went home already? It's freezing cold out here." Austin added.
"I..don't have a car." I said.
"I could give you a lift." Austin said.
"Are you sure? If it's not to much trouble.." I said.
"Not at all. C'mon get in. I don't want you to freeze out here. Pweeze?" He said with his puppy dog eyes.
I smiled and laughed a little.
"Okay." I said and got in.
I told him the directions while we were talking.
"Soo.. Dawson's a skater, huh?" He asked.
"Yeah. I've been doing it for years." I said.
"I can play hockey, too." I said.
"Oh, really? We'll have to play a round one day." Austin said as he was smiling at me.
"Turn here." I said while pointing.
Austin nodded and turned.
"So, you just ride a skateboard everywhere?" He asked.
"Sadly, I do." I said.
"Well, that's gonna change. I'll pick you up everyday from the skating rink from now on." He said.
"Austin, you don't have to do that-
"I want to. It's winter now, and I work there anyway. I'm not gonna leave you like that." He said.
He pulled into my parking place at my house. As I was walking out of the car, he grabbed my arm, and gave me a piece of paper.
"It's my number. Call me."
I looked at him a little weird.
"Ya know, if you, uh, need a ride anywhere else." He said.
"Thanks, Austin." I said smiling.
He waved bye, and drove off.
Don't screw this up, Dawson. You're doing great.
