Ally's View

The last day of school before I go on a three-week vacation with the one and only Moons. Yep, Austin Moon and his family were kind enough to invite me along to their family holiday while my dad went over to England for something to do with the store. I would be excited if it wasn't for the fact Austin is going. I can't stand him. He thinks he's so popular.

Let's get one thing clear here.

He isn't popular. Well not 'high school hottest boy' popular, that's Dallas. Nope, he's geek popular, he thinks he's the smartest guy around. And so does everyone else. Sure he acts kinda cool for a geek. For one he has friends that aren't geeks, or well smart at all. He always wears skinny jeans, t-shirt, and a leather jacket, with his signature high tops. Not the type of thing a geek wears right? He also doesn't get bullied like the rest of us, I still haven't figured out how. So no he isn't 'high school hottest boy' popular, he's more 'geek-smartest guy who doesn't bullied popular.

The most popular boy in school, that's Dallas. He bullies all of us, part from Austin. I don't get it though, I mean why leave Austin out? But the tragic thing is, no matter how much Dallas bullies me, picks on me, calls me names, and throws food onto me, I still love him. Yep, you heard right. I love Dallas, my high school bully. I don't know, I just think the whole social ladder thing got to him. He's not really a mean person, at least, I don't think he is. Truth is I've never talked to him, unless you count him shouting horrible names at me.

Anyway, back to the point, the holiday with Austin Moon. If only I could find a way not to go, or for him to think, maybe I'll stay home this year. But I doubt that will happen, the holiday is all he's been talking about for weeks, of course skipping the part that I too am coming.

But here we go, we're all going to New York.

"Bye hunny! Have a good time with everyone, and be careful!" My dad says dropping me off at the Moon's house.

"Bye dad!" I gave him a big hug before letting myself into the house. We've been family friends for years so we just walk into each others house now.

"Oh good Ally you're here! Has your dad already gone?" Mimi asks giving me a hug.

"Yeah, just drove off. So what time are we leaving?" I ask placing my bags with everyone elses.

"Well we're just waiting on Austin to finish packing then we'll hit the road." Mike, Austin's dad, says joining us.

"Done!" Austin says running down the stairs with his last bag. "Ally? What are you doing here? And why have you brought bags?" He questions while placing his bag on the floor.

I look to Mike and Mimi who's faces have darkened. I think they forgot to tell their son something…

"Oh, yes. Austin, son, sorry we forgot to tell you." I guess now it makes sense how he didn't tell anyone I was coming too, but why would he have anyway? "Ally here is joining us in New York." Mike finishes.

I smile awkwardly and look to Austin, his face filled with shock. "What? Why didn't you tell me?" He almost shouts. Take it he doesn't like the idea much.

"We forgot" Mimi said like it's no big thing. "Anyway, let's park the car and go shall we? It's a long, long drive."

Austin silently picks up his bags and goes to the car, "don't worry" Mimi said to me "it's just a shock, he'll be fine in a bit." Oh, something tells me that's not happening any time soon.

It's going to be a long trip.

Austin's View

Ally's coming! How did they forget to mention a whole other person was coming?! They know how I feel about other people coming on this trip, and since last time a girl came. Maybe they thought I was over it? Nope, no way would they have just thought I was over it. They should have asked me if I wanted her to come, or even just warned me!

But no. Now I have to spend the next three weeks with Ally Dawson. The girl I hate second most.

"Everyone in?" My dad asks before starting the car. "Okay then, off we go."

Hours later

The drive has been nothing but silence, Ally is reading a book, mom is asleep and dad is concentrating on driving. I had to put my ear phones in, I can't stand silence.

"Well that's one book done." I faintly hear Ally say through the sound of my ear phones. I take them out in the hope to get some conversation out of her. I hate her, but I am dying for conversation here, it's been hours with no talking.

"Well, what book were you reading?" I ask her, putting my headphones into my pocket.

She looks across to me and I can tell she's shocked because her eyes are bigger than normal. "Oh, um, Percy Jackson, I just finished the first one." I nod my head. I can't believe she is only now reading them!

"It's a good set of books, I've read them all."

"All of them?"

"Yep, I'm on Hero's of Olympus now, I've saved the whole series for the holiday."

"Oh cool." She says before turning back to face the front. I guess that's the end of the conversation then.

"Look at that." My dad says just as I was about to pull my head phones back out.

"What?" I ask.

"It's lunch time, come one, let's get food." He says turning into the melody dinner parking lot, there's one here too, not just in Miami. We stop here every year on the drive to New York. "I'll wake your mom up, you take Ally and get us a table. I nod, not waiting to say, I didn't want Ally to come, I don't want her eating at my favourite place.

Ally and I step out of the car. "there's a Melody Dinner here too?" She asks, "I thought the only one was in Miami."

"Well clearly not Ally." I say walking directly into the dinner.

I walk straight to our normal table, we sit at it twice a year, every time we come it's empty.

"Amazing how your normal table is always empty don't you think Austin?" I hear a familiar voice say from behind me, I turn around to be met by one of my best friends.

"Cassidy!" I shout and hug her, she hugs me back, we stay like this for a minute before I release my grip.

"Long time no see Moon! What you been up too?"

"Nothing, just the normal stuff, glad to see you're still working here."

"Where else would I work?" She say playfully before sitting down with me at a table. "Who's this?" She asks pointing to the opposite side of the table. I give her a confused look then remember.

"Oh," I say looking across to the short brown haired girl. "This is Ally, she's joining us on vacation this year." I say with a smile.

"Ohh, so she's a new girl friend?" Cassidy says shaking Ally's hand. My eyes go wide.

"No, no, no! Ally is just a, uh, friend. Yep, just a friend."

"Mmhhmm." She says and I just laugh to myself, typical Cassidy, not believing a word I say. "Fancy taking a few tables with me?"

"Yep. Which one first?"

"Your orders?"

"Same as every other time."

"And Ally?"

"Oh uh, just whatever Austin is having." Cassidy nods, then we get up and go to the kitchen.

"Ally, where's Austin gone?" Mimi asks as her and Mike join the table.

"To help a girl named Cassidy?"

"Oh of course, he does that ever year while we are here."

"How long have they known each other?"

"Oh, quite a while, every year we come to New York we always stop here, she's been working here every time." Mike answers, I nod and we continue with general conversation.

Austin's View

"So what's the story with Ally?"

"What story?" I ask.

"There's no way you two are just friends. The last girl you brought too New York was your girlfriend." I tense up.

"Can we not talk about Kira?"

"Austin it all happened three years ago, and as far as I know, you haven't talked about it."

"I don't need too."

"Yes, you do Austin."

"Cassidy" I say as I lean on a counter, "I really don't wanna talk about it."

"You have to at some point. To someone, maybe Ally?"

"Ally? You're kidding right?" I say, she shakes her head, "I don't even like her."

"You said you were friends." She hands me plates and picks up some herself, I follow her out of the kitchen and too tables.

"So I lied."

"But why?"

"I didn't know if my parents were coming in or not" I whisper to her.

"Ah I see. But maybe you should try to be friends with her" she lays plate on a table, "enjoy your meal."

"I highly doubt that will work. Plus I only have to survive three weeks with her, then I never have to talk to her again." Cassidy scoffs.

"Come on, these are for your table. Hey everyone."

"Hey Cassidy, how you been?" Mom asks as I sit down in the empty seat by Ally.

"I'm good thanks, looking forward to New York?"

"Of course."

"You ever been Ally?"

"Nope, it'll be my first time." She says looking up.

"Well then these are defiantly the people to go with. I'm sure Austin will give you the tour."

"Yep, they can do that tomorrow." Dad says.

"When are you joining us Cassidy?" I asked, she always joins us at some point even if it's just for a few days.

"In two weeks if that's okay?" She asks my mom and dad.

"Yeah, we'll see you then, just text Austin on your way." Mom says.

"Okay, see you in two weeks everyone, bye Austin." She gives me a hug as we all leave.
