Saturday 7th July 2012

The sound of 'Billion Hits' startled me awake the next morning. The song although catchy and nice was not one of my favourites at the moment.

Forcing my eyes to open, I stare up at the ceiling, still hearing the music, curious from where it'd be coming from. Sitting up, I catch a ray of sunlight that

had crept in through my curtain and flinch slightly before staring down at my sleek phone screen. The ringing had been from my alarm, which meant it

was 7:45, which meant I had to get ready forwork. I completely ignore the fact, that I had no idea when I changed by alarm tone to that and drag my

petite body out of the warmth of my duvet and into the cold of my house and wooden floors. Trudging into the bathroom, I glance in the mirror, giving

myself an initial shock at my tangled up tumble ball of hair and the redness of my face. After recovering, I brush my teeth quickly and peel off my

pyjamas and head into the shower, singing tunefully to the song that was now stuck in my head. "Cause I know that I'll make it, never put my head

down, t-t-turn it up loud", I sing and smile to myself.

Ten minutes later, I walk out of the shower, a vanilla and strawberry scented mist following behind me, a plush ivory coloured towel wrapped around

my body and a smaller one around my head. Heading into my bedroom, I moisturize my creamy ivory coloured skin, and wondered how on earth, I lived

in Florida and managed to stay so pale. Shrugging the thought of, I slip on some under garments and head to my closet and look through my clothes. I

felt in a sort of /girly/ mood today for some reason and picked out a pink t-shirt and strappy purple floral dress, with my all important signature 'Ally

Dawson', ankle boots. Satisfied with my outfit, I slip it on and proceed to doing my hair. Seating myself at my vanity, I stare at the dull girl seated in

front of me and frown, cocking my head to the side slightly. I then begin drying and styling my hair, trying to experiment with it because strangely, I

wanted to look extra special today. Why was that? It was a waste though, because no matter what I did, my hair stayed the same, and I gentle

combed the loose chocolate brown some lip-gloss and mascara, I smile at my reflection. "Not too bad ", I say to myself and rise and get

my phone, book and bag. Heading down the stairs, I look at my phone screen and see that it is 8:45. Whoa, I think to myself. An hour getting ready,

felt more like thirty minutes, what was I doing for that long anyways?

Shaking away the thought, I continue on down the stairs and as I near the kitchen, the irresistible and unmistakeable aroma of pancakes wafts into my

nose, making my tummy rumble and my mouth water. But for different reasons. The reason I'd changed my alarm tone to 'Billion Hits', the reason I'd

spend so much time to get ready, the reason I'd completely melted at just the smell of pancakes. /Austin/. The thoughts from the night before flooded

into my mind and for a moment, I thought I'd either be sick or faint. Using the wall for support, I head into kitchen and find my dad flipping pancakes, a

plate stacked high already on the table, plus a bottle of syrup and a butter dish. As soon, as I enter into the kitchen, my dad turns and faces me with a

smile. "Hey Ally-cat", my dad says, leaving his duty and coming over to give me a kiss on my forehead. "Hey dad", I say and smile weakly at him before

slipping into a seat and glancing at the pancakes. I liked them, but I wasn't their biggest fan. Bringing the plate towards me, I take my fork and begin

to eat, devouring the food quickly at first but then slowing down after seeing the expression on my dad's face. Hey, I had barely eaten anything in like

twelve hours, I had the right to remain hungry, but I decided I'd eat normally anyways. Upon finishing my breakfast, I check the time and my phone

says 8:55. Downing a quick glass of orange juice and kissing my dad good-bye, I head out the door and begin walking to Sonic Boom, my dad's music store.

I lived quite close to it and since, it opened at 9:15 I didn't have to rush but take my time, walk calmly and think. I really don't know how I'd let this

happen. I had told Austin I didn't have feeling for him 'like-that' and he told me neither did he. We were all fine, all cool, no friendships in jeopardy. But

all of a sudden why did I feel so different? This was too hard to figure out on my own, and the only person on this earth that I could confide and

semi-trust in was Trish. With a small sigh, I root around in my bag and finally find my phone and pull it out. Tapping my slender fingers on the sleek

screen, I call Trish and then place the phone to my ear. "Hello", called a both annoyed and sleepy voice from the other end. "Trish?", I ask

quizzically, not recognizing the voice and wondered who with a /job/ would still be doing asleep at this time. " Oh hey Ally", the voice answered a little c

clearer this time and I find myself disappointed. "Trish, what are you doing asleep, don't you have work?",I ask her, knowing all though she couldn't

keep jobs, she had a new one /every/ day. First of all, a laugh was heard from the other end. "Oh Ally, you know I don't work, I just money", Trish

answers and I roll my eyes playfully. Shaking my head as Trish begins to tell me about how she had gotten fired from her last job, I quickly interrupt

her. " Sorry to interrupt your fascinating story Trish but I've got a situation, code violet ", I say to her and wait for a response but it seems like she had

hung up. Annoyed, I cut the connection and throw the phone into my bag and began walking closer and closer to the mall. As I neared it, I saw a sight

that for once I was /hoping/ to avoid. Dallas. He stood wearing light gray t-shirt and jeans. Usually this would be the time, where I'd hide behind the

nearest item and 'admire' him from afar. But today I wasn't feeling it. I walk past the cellphone accessory cart and continue onto to Sonic Boom but just

as I'm about to enter, I feel a finger tap my shoulder. Turning, I look up to find Dallas smiling down at me. I felt so small and he like towered above me.

For a moment, I felt the usual flutters but that moment came and passed and I was alright again, but for only for a few minutes. "I had lots of fun with

you at Trish's party, you're really cool Ally", he said and then just walked away. I stood there. Flustered and tongue tied, unable to stay even say

thanks or right back at you. So wait, now my nervousness came and went. What was up with that? Shrugging my slender sculpted shoulders, as if to

answer my own question and I unlock the door of Sonic Boom and walk inside, switching the 'closed' sign to 'open'. Setting my bag down on the

counter, I thought anxiously about calling Trish and finally pull out my phone to do it, when she comes barging through the doors, huffing and puffing

and seemingly out of breathe. Well that was fortunate, I think to myself.

CLIFFHANGER. Can I get a what? what? what...happens next? Read to find out!
