Chapter 2: Mall Mishaps!
Ally's POV (italics = Ally's thoughts!)
"Who is he?"Trish whispered to me as I locked up Sonic Boom.
I leaned towards Trish and whispered,"My new neighbor."I said, referring to Austin, "He just moved in this morning"
"He's super cute!" She whispered back. I looked up at Austin then back to Trish.
I smiled and nodded my head, "Uh huh" I replied. Trish giggled like a little girl, then turned to face Austin.
"So blondie, what's your name?" Trish asked.
"Austin" He simply replied, without even glancing down at Trish.
"Will you be attending Marino high?" She asked.
"Yup". He responded.
"Are you gonna be showing him around, Ally?" Trish asked turning to me.
I shook my head. "No. Austin doesn't want me to." I shrugged.
"You bet I don't and I'm glad you're not." He said.
For a moment I thought It was a joke, but when he didn't laugh, nor did he have some sort of smile on his face, I knew Austin meant what he said and because of this I felt this random pain in my chest, but seconds later it went away.
"Haha..Ha."I laughed, putting a fake smile on my face and turning my head to the side.
I've noticed that ever since Austin grabbed my hand at the piano, in Sonic Boom, he's been acting so rude to me, I mean he's acted rude ever since earlier when I first met him, but now he's just getting worse and worse by the second. Why is that?
"Uh oh" Trish said, staring down at her cell phone.
"What is it Trish? Everything okay?" I concernly asked.
"No! I just got fired" She pouted.
"And you're hurt?" I chuckled. "You always get fired from your jobs"
"Yeah, but I actually liked this one. I got paid to watch TV, who wouldn't want that job?" She said.
I pointed to myself. "Ummm me" I said, "TV is so boring, it just rots your brain"
Trish, being the dramatic person she is, gasped and stopped in her tracks placing a hand over her heart.
"How could you say that." She said, shaking her head.
"I'm sorry, but I prefer books over TV. Reading books can actually teach you something, what can TV teach you? It's all fake"I argued.
"Reality shows are not fake" She said.
"Yes they are, they're scripted" I stated.
"You don't know that!"She defended.
"Well neither do you."I said."TV is bad."
"Okay, well lets see what Austin thinks" Trish said. We both turned our heads to where we thought Austin was, but surprisingly he was nowhere to be found
"Where did he go?" She asked. I shrugged my shoulders and looked around the area.
"I don't know, he was right here a second ago" I said. "We should look for him, he doesn't know his way around here"
"Ooooo sorry Ally, but I can't. I have to get my job back" Trish said.
I stopped looking for a moment and turned to Trish. "Are you seriously upset about being fired? You get fired all of the time, Trish"
"I know, but honestly I kind Of actually don't want to walk around the mall looking for Austin.." she shamelessly smiled.
I sighed. "Fine. I'll find him myself." I said, rolling my eyes as I turned the other direction searching for a certain blonde.
Typical Trish! Now I have to look around the mall all by myself.
Why did Austin walk away from us anyway? Did he get lost? Distracted? Annoyed? Well if he did get annoyed and decide to leave he's definitely going to get lost. Damn it!
After a few minutes of walking around the mall, trying to find Austin, I noticed A familiar mop of blonde hair heading towards the exit. I quickly followed and tried to catch up with the person.
"Austin!" I yelled when I got closer. The figure didn't turn around. "Austin!" I yelled once again.
Why isn't he turning around!
I picked up my walking pace until I got close enough to tug at his arm.
"Austin!Do you not hear me calling y-"
"HEY!" The figure yelled.
"I am so sorry" I quickly apologized, letting go of the strangers arm. I bit my lip and apologized again. "I thought you was my friend Austin".
"Well I'm not! Pay attention next time!" The man said. With that, he turned back around and hurried along the sidewalk mumbling lots of rude words.
"Rude" I muttered.
"Looking for me?" A familiar voice said from behind me. I turned my body and let out a sigh of relief. Austin.
"Where were you?" I asked.
"Trying to find the exit" He said before he pushed passed me and walked towards the houses.
"I was worried about you" I said as I walked beside him.
He scoffed and said, "Listen, do yourself a favor and don't worry about me okay?"
"Well I was. I thought you got lost" I said.
"Who are you? My mother? Even if I got lost I'm perfectly fine with finding my way back". He answered.
"I know but I was still kind of worried" I said.
"Don't be". He mumbled, picking up his pace and walking farther up ahead of me.
I sighed and slowly followed behind him.
"So I'll see yo-" I was interrupted by Austin slamming the front door in my face. "Tomorrow". I finished.
"Oookay.." I nodded my head and turned away from the door.
I walked down the steps and headed back to my empty house. When I got Inside I placed my purse on the counter and plopped myself on the couch, thinking about the events that happened today.
I am so exhausted! It's not even evening yet, but I am already tired of the day... Whats up with Austin, why is he so rude? Why doesn't he like me? Did I do something to make him mad? Am I annoying? Or is he just really mad he had to move from a Texas?...
Austin's POV
"So I'll see yo-"Before Ally could finish her sentence I slammed the door in her face.
I rolled my eyes and shook my head, "She's so annoying." I mumbled.
"Austin?"I heard my mother call. I followed the voice which lead to the kitchen. My mother was at an open cabinet filling it up with shiney white plates and sparkling glass cups.
I crossed my arms and leaned against the wall."What."I said.
"How was the mall?"She asked.
"Boring."I replied.
"Really?"She frowned."I'm sorry to hear that, thought you would've enjoyed it...How was Ally?"She asked.
I rolled my eyes at the thought of Ally, then shrugged my shoulders.
"She's annoying."I simply said.
"Oh Austin stop, she's very sweet."My mother said.
"I guess"I muttered before I turned around and started to leave.
"You know Austin."She started."Ally is not like the others."
"How would you know?It hasn't even been a day since you guys met."I said turning to face her.
She placed the last bowl in the cabinet and turned to me "I know, but I can just tell."
"Okay mom."I said. I then turned around and headed upstairs to my room, leaving my mother to talk amongst herself.
"Give her a chance Austin!" Was the last thing I heard my mother say before I shut my bedroom door.
I walked over to the window and looked around my room. It was so dull and boring, the walls were painted old fashioned white, and the room reeked with a dried paint smell. My bed was placed in the middle of the room and it had nothing on it, all my pillows and sheets, and blankets were trapped in one of the boxes downstairs. I would go back downstairs, but i'm too lazy and frankly I don't want to hear my mother talk about Ally any much longer. I spent enough time seeing her today as it was.
I don't know why I dislike her so much, there's just something about her that makes me not like her. Is it her hair?Clothes?Personality? I don't know, all I know is we just met and I'm already tired of her and want nothing to do with her.
I take a look out the window, then walk to my naked mattress and lie down on it. Moments later, without even realizing it, my eyes start to slowly shut and I fall into a deep sleep...
