I couldn't sleep much last night. Maybe it was the fact that school ended or maybe it was the fact that I have to spend two ENTIRE months with Austin. Austin freaken Moon. How about we go with the second one! Trish told me to have fun this summer, and how was I suppose to do that? There was no way I was going to have fun this summer with Austin always making fun of me and everything. I cannot wait for this summer to be over with. Last night I spent hours on end packing all of my stuff. I mean I am a girl a need my essentials. I packed my books, my painting tools, and my brown book/diary/song book. Yes I write song lyrics, but its not like I am ever going to get anywhere.
"Come on honey, I have to drop you off" My dad said standing at the door to my room
"I am ready dad!" I said grabbing my suitcases and putting them in the trunk of our car.
"Are you excited?" My dad asked as he backed the car out of the drive way. Oh yeah so freaken excited to spend the summer with a guy who bullied me constantly throughout high school.
"So excited dad" I said in a sarcastic tone, but knowing my dad he would never pick up on it. Actually now that I think about it.. no one does.
"Good Good. So how do you like Austin?" my dad added in..
"Define like dad." I said trying to give him a hint that I might now like this guy so much
"Alls, please be nice to him" my dad said knowing how honest I could be sometimes. I wasn't mean, just very opinionative and honest which could sometimes come across as harsh
"fine" I mumbled knowing that I wasn't the one who needed to be nice to him but maybe the other way around.
"Hey mike" my dad said while getting out of the car
"Nice to you, so is ally all ready?" Mike added
"Yeah, she's actually very excited to go camping since she has never been" my dad added in
"Well pumpkin, I'll see you in two months. Remember to be safe and good while Mike and Mimi watch you. I'll call every so often" my dad said giving me a hug and waving good bye while he drove off to the air port
"Bye dad" I yelled waving wishing that he wouldn't leave me with Austin for two months.
"Alright so, you her and dad will go in the van and I will drive my car right?" Austin told him mom as he walked out of the house wearing black shorts and white v-neck.
"Actually honey, me and your father are thinking of putting all of the suit cases into our car and she can come with you!" Mimi added at the end of the sentence giving the car keys to me
"Wait, why are you giving me the keys?" I asked confused, and Austin stood there pretty shocked
"Sweetheart, your dad tells us what a cautious driver you are, and well Austin here is uhm.. not the safest" she said whispering to me but I could tell Austin heard
"Alright kids, well see you in eight hours" Mimi informed us as her and mike drove off.
"Wait did she say eight.. hours!" I said out loud not knowing I spoke out loud
"that's how long it takes to get there smart ass" Austin growled. I could tell he was mad about me getting to drive there.
"Alright give me them" Austin said holding his hand out
"But your mom said I was going to drive!" I said in an obvious tone
"I don't give.. I am not letting you drive my car" he added in. I didn't want to start anything at the beginning of this trip so I decided to compromise
"Fine four hours me, four for you" I said as he nodded and got into the passenger seat of the car
"Great...hell begins" I mumbled to myself as I got into the car
It was about an hour we have been driving and me and Austin haven't really spoke. I mean why would we? But still I hated awkward silence, but I was not the one who would start this conversation. I knew that for a fact.
I could see Austin slowly turn on the music full blast in the car. I mean like 'ow'. Plus you shouldn't listen to music when you drive, it distracts you. I turned it off and Austin started to wine about it.
"Hey what was that!" Austin growled not happy
"I cant focus on driving if you turn the music up that high" I said not even turning over to listen to this
"I don't think you'll be able to focus either way" Austin said smirking. I mean I couldn't see him smirking, but I felt it
"Why not?" I asked now very confused
"Because.. your sitting next to the hottest guy in the grade" Austin said cockily and I scoffed at the comment
"Sorry, but Im not into blondes or people who dye there hair blonde" as I said that I heard him gasp
"I do not dye my hair! Why would a sexy guy like me need to dye my hair blonde" Austin said cockily again as I ignored his comment while rolling my eyes
"Oh please I can tell fake dye when I see it" I said and as Austin was about to defend himself the car started to make this really weird sound started to come out of the engine of the car and the car slowly stopped on the road. Thank god it was not a highway, but more like an abandoned road.
"Why did the car stop?" he asked me like I new the answer
"How am I supposed to know?" i questioned him as he rolled his eyes
"Fine. I'll go check it out. Don't go anywhere" he said as if I was going to get out of the car and walk somewhere. Like all I see is farms and animals on this road
"Wait Austin" I called from inside the car realizing what the problem was
"There's no gas in the tank" Austin said coming back
"No shit Sherlock the gas in on empty" I said pointing to the e on the fuel
"Didn't you put gas in your car before we left?" asking him as I got out of the car
"Well, as you can tell obviously not!" he said huffing pretty upset that it is going to delay us. I could tell he didn't want to spend any more time with me than he was obligated to
"What are we going to do?" he asked as if we were stranded on a deserted island. I sighed and got out of the car and started to begin walking over to the first farm on the road which I was almost positive would have car gas
"Wait where are you going?" Austin said locking the car and running up to me
"Seeing that you weren't going to do anything, I took the initiative and I am going to ask the person who owns the farm up ahead for car gas" I said picking up my speed so I could get there faster.
"Thankyou so much" I called to the farmer who leant me and Austin enough gas to get to the cottage
The walk back was pretty quiet until Austin started to cut off the beautiful beautiful silence.
"Are you honestly saying you don't find me the least bit attractive?" He asked. Wow he would not let this go, like really I thought he would just forget. I mean like he's okay looking but no the hottest at our school. Its not like I even pay attention to the guys at our school.
"Why do you care so much if I don't think your attractive?" I asked not really caring for an answer, but still I would agree to him being the slightest bit attractive if it shuts him up.
"Why would I care what a freak thinks" he answered back which kind of ticked me off
"See! And that is why I don't think your attractive Blondie!" I spat while making a left turn
"Huh?" he asked now very confused. Another thing I hate is explaining things to people
"Your personality is terrible. Your cocky, obnoxious, and demeaning to women. Honestly, and Austin you don't even know my name and I've been in your history, English, and Spanish class! Also, you've bullied me since grade 9. so I am truly sorry I don't find you a bit attractive!" I said pretty angry. I mean like the kid asks me why I don't find him the slightest bit attractive, and well I gave him an answer.. Maybe I shouldn't have been so harsh. Another thing I hate, I feel bad for almost every action I do. I mean I shouldn't considering the fact that this isn't really my fault. But still.
"Look I shouldn't have made it that harsh im so-" I was about to say but Austin cut me off
"First off, I am not demeaning to women. Fine okay ill agree to being cocky and obnoxious but never demeaning to women. Yes alright fine sometimes me and my friends make jokes about girls that maybe we shouldn't, but still. And I do know your name! It's urgh-" Austin began to talk then cut himself off. I knew it..
"I knew it! Austin I even know your name, and I am not to fond of you! You've known me since the first day of grade 9 and you still don't know my name" I said pretty disappointed at the fact that I remember him calling my name once in history class… then I remember he called me "sally"
"It's uhm… sally?" he asked hopeful that it was. Really.. sally? 3 whole years of knowing him.. and he thought my name was sally.
"It's ally." I said walking over to the back of the car to put the gas in.
"But I called you Sally once. Why didn't you bother to correct me?" he asked like it was my fault that he couldn't remember my name.
"You've always called me "freak" or "hoe" and I figured if you couldn't bother to remember my name after countless time I have told you it is Ally I just figured you're a lost cause" I declared closing the latch that led into the gas tank
"Are we going to switch?" I asked him handing him the keys before getting back into the car and he didn't even respond. I think he was pretty upset about the fact that I just called him a lost cause.. but really.. he should be able to handle the truth..
In the car I took a deep breath and Austin drove off not speaking a word to each other.
We were on the road again.
Please tell me what you think! Leave a review xoxo.
