It was always me, Dez, and Cassidy. Dez is probably the most interesting person I've ever met. He can have his moments of wisdom, directly followed by him stating how he lost his turtle. He doesn't have a turtle. Dez gets nervous when he knows he messed up big time, you an tell because he runs his hands through his ginger hair so many times I'm surprised his hair hasn't fallen out yet. He is tall and slender but still quite muscular. He usually doesn't get a lot of girls because he is so…unique. And he knows it too. When we ask if he will ask anyone out, he replies with "she has to love me for me and I have to be able to stand being with her for more then ten minutes." Not many girls like that have come along.
Then there is Cassidy. She is very relaxed but holds her ground when it is needed. She also is very loyal and will always have your back, even when she is mad at you. Trust me she does not get mad that easily. Cassidy is also an amazing performer and musician. Her voice is unbelievable. She works at Melody Dinner and that's where we hang out a lot. The only reason Mindy, her boss, doesn't mind is because she has a major crush on Dez. She is not shy about it, it freaks him out a bit. None of us truely mind though. I mean we get free food! Well, Dez does but he always orders for us and gets us all food. Anyway, Cassidy has been dating this guy Dallas. I've met him a few times but I don't really know him. From I can tell he seems pretty cool.
My name is Ally Dawson. So far my life has been ordinary. All sixteen years. I am an A student in advanced classes, naturally making me a nerd. I will admit I am a bit awkward but then you get to know and you realize that that's not all of who I am. I am trustworthy, dependable, and can be a little mean when necessary. But only if it is absolutely necessary. I am the kind of girl that believes in second chances. I have slapped a girl, once. Don't get me wrong, I usually don't believe in violence but this girl had it coming to her. She was saying how no girl in there right mind would go out with Dez and how he belongs in a mental hospital. I lost it. He has been my friend since kindergarten, of course I would defend him! But that's who I am, I am as loyal as Cassidy and can get crazy but not as crazy as Dez.
Like Cassidy I have a real passion for music. Her and I write songs together sometimes but she is the one that always performs. I have terrible stage fright. She said that she will help me get over it and I love her for trying but I don't see that as a possibility. So for now I am a song writer.
Today is June 21, 2013. This is the last day of school. The first day of summer. The bell rings and this is the last time I will hear these bells until September. I got out of my advanced calculus class and said good bye to Mr. Lynch. I was in a little bit of a rush. I needed to make sure I got on the bus. I wanted a good seat and will probably save one for Cassidy and Dez also. We only had one class together but we were fine with that. We were next door neighbors! I walked on the bus and saw a couple empty seats in the bus. To my surprise both Cassidy and Dez were already there. Each sat in their own seat. Great now I'm gonna have to choose between them I thought. I walked down the aisle having a silent debate with myself. It seems like Dez notices.
"You may not wanna sit here. I had beans for lunch." He said with a cheesy grin but I knew not to test these warnings, he was dead serious.
"Sit here!" Cassidy said a little too excited. I knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted help with her end of the year party. Well it was more like a small get together. The only people invited were me, Dez, Dallas and his close two friends, Trish and Austin. I didn't really knew them but I have seen them in the hallway before. But needless to say, I was really excited. It was going to be really fun, I could already tell. The rest of the bus ride consisted of her talking party details to me. This only got me more excited.
The bus finally dropped us off at our bus stop. It was only a five minute walk to our houses. But me and Dez weren't going home. We went right over to Cassidy to help start getting her house ready. Plus, we all needed to get snacks. Dez did have a car and license the reason he doesn't take it to school is because he has a pick up truck and could only give one of us a ride and he didn't want to leave anyone out but he also didn't want to leave us behind. He is so considerate! Well one of was left behind to clean her house. Guess who that was? If you guessed me you are right.
I left Cassidy's at five to get ready. The party started at eight. Perfect! Enough time to get ready. I hopped into the steaming shower, I like it really warm. When I stepped out I let my hair dry while I moisturized, yes I do this time to time. I walk to my closet to pick out my outfit. I decided to put something a bit un-Ally-ish on. I took out a floral tank top, okay so this is normal, and high waisted short shorts, a bit less Ally-ish. I topped it off with a cropped ¾ sleeved leather jacket. When my hair was dried I decided to straighten it, something I rarely do but I had enough time. For my make up I decided on natural looking eye shadow with a little eyeliner on the top lashes with a touch of mascara, and for my lips I went with a fruit punch color. Lastly I slipped on my black high top converse. I didn't wear half of the articles of clothing normally but I felt good. I started my walk to Cassidy's at 7:55 and got there a minute later. I'm always punctual.
I walk in to find Dallas, Dez and Cassidy sitting on her black leather couch. As soon as I walked in I saw Dez's eyes go wide and Cassidy smiled. Dallas just kept his eyes on Cassidy, like he saw no one else. It was quite adorable actually.
"hey Ally-y-y" Cassidy sang looking at me.
"Hola Chica" sang right back. We locked eyes then burst out laughing. Dez cleared his throat.
"H-hey Ally. Y-y-you look nice" Dez stuttered like he was barely able to get the words out. I made my way to the seat next to the couch. The couch was only made for about three people. We talked like we usually do.
About five minutes later a petite Latina girl with long black hair, whom I recognized as Trish walked in. She looked very pretty. I saw Dez's eyes go wider and his mouth fell open. I tried to muffle my chuckle.
She looked at Dez and turned a little red. But that quickly faded and was replaced with the words: "Close your mouth before you catch a fly." This was accompanied by a smile.
Dez blushed a bit and said some witty response that I didn't really hear because Austin walked in. His bleach blonde hair was messed up but still looked good. He had a black V-neck T-shirt that hugged his muscles without being too tight and a pair of dark ripped jeans. He had a pair of neon green converse on. Lets just say he looked really attractive, to say the least. When he looked at me I saw his jaw drop a little, making Trish laugh. A lot. He quickly recovered and smiled at me.
"Sup Ally" He said dripping with charm. I rolled my eyes at him.
"Hi Austin" I said a little too sweet.
Trish and Austin made their way to the chairs around us. We spent the first hour talking and getting to know each other. It was like Austin couldn't talk to me without flirting with me. But hey, I am not complaining. I found out that Austin plays a bunch of instruments, sings and even dances a bit. He is also single. He mentioned this about five times while looking directly at me. Once again not complaining. That's when we heard it.
