A/N: This is my first fanfic. Hope you like it :)

Takes place after the football game. Sam & Austin

Disclaimer: I don't own A Cinderella Story or the characters :)


You Did What?

"I can't believe you stood Austin Ames up." Carter said with disbelieve and a bit of sarcasm.

I laughed. "Well it wouldn't have worked out any how, Carter. He's Austin Ames. One of the most popular guys in school. I'm sure he'll do just fine without me."

"Sam. You've been chatting with Austin for at least 2 months. You constantly spoke about him even bragged about him a bit on how he was so 'romantic & poetic' & now you don't even want to be with him. What happened?" Carter questioned as he searched for a change in Sam's expression.

"Carter, you're right. But I don't want to get made fun of more then I already have. This is reality, not some cheesy romance novel. But I've got to get Fiona's errands done before she hires a hit man to kill me. I'll see you tomorrow."

Carter laughed. "You better hurry then. Bye Sam."

After I got home from doing Fiona's errands, I decided that I should check my e-mail. I doubt he e-mailed me. We both knew it wouldn't work out. I thought as I signed into my e-mail.

1 New Email:

Sender: Nomad609

Oh my gosh. He did e-mail me! What am I supposed to do. I can't ignore him forever. I guess I'll have to read what he said. I opened it up & was prepared for him to tell me that he pretended to like me but it was something completely different.

My Princess,

I may be the most popular guy in school, football captain & student body president, but there's more to me then meets the eye. You know that I want none of this & you've had a chance to meet Nomad at the dance. Well some of him but that's not the point. The point is that I'm completely & positively in love with you, Samantha Montgomery. Ever since we started talking I couldn't stop thinking about you & I'm sure you couldn't stop thinking about me too. Meet me at the park tonight at 8:30 p.m so we can talk. Please?

Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?

Austin

"Quoting Tennyson again I see." I quietly mumbled to myself. I couldn't help but smile at this.

I didn't want to meet him at the park because I basically embarrassed myself & him in front of the whole school. He was in love with me as much I was in love with him. I decided to meet him at the park any ways.

"I didn't think you'd come. Especially after the scene at the football game." Austin replied flatly.

"Well I'm here. What was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Sam said shyly as she looked down.

"Sam. Let me be that guy who I was during the dance, during the chats, the texts, the e-mails. Let me be him. I'm in love with you." Austin pleaded as he bent down and kissed her.

"Austin.. I-I'm sorry that I was selfish & stood you up. I........ I just didn't want to let my guard down & have my heart broken by someone who I've slowly fell in love with over the past few months." Sam admitted.

"Sam?" Austin questioned.

"Yes, Austin?"

"I love you. That will never change."

"I love you too." I said confidently as I wrapped my arms around his torso.

This is going to be a great summer I thought.
