It was the beginning of seventh grade and Ally woke up with a grin. She was so excited because her class would be going on a field trip to the Music Museum.
Ally loved music. She began playing piano when she was in second grade, and her love for music grew even more. It was something she could use to connect with... Well everyone. Especially her best friend.
She and Austin made music videos of them singing covers of their favorite songs, and it was so much fun. They had the best times while playing with instruments or just dancing to music. Ally was a terrible dancer, but when she would dance with Austin, she would feel like she was a pro. Austin after all, was a very good dancer and taught her a couple moves. Her favorite was ballroom dancing. The way she and Austin were so close to each other made her feel like she was in heaven.
Ally quickly threw the thought out of her head. Why would she even be thinking of her BEST FRIEND like that. After all, they were just friends, sadly.
Ally got off of her bed and went to the bathroom to get washed up. She climbed into the shower and came out feeling as fresh as a flower. She got out her clothes and set them down and headed downstairs to eat her breakfast. When she finished she rushed upstairs to get changed and then gave her mom and dad a kiss and left to run to the bus stop. There she saw Austin.
The minute she laid her eyes on him she couldn't help but stare. His blonde hair seemed to have a 'radiating glow' and when she looked into his blue eyes she'd forget what they were talking about. He was so entrancing. Austin looked over at her, and Ally quickly turned away and pretended not to notice him while blushing madly.
"Oh hey Ally." Austin said, waving at her. Ally smiled and walked closer to Austin, feeling her blush even more. She tucked a loose strand of her hair out of her face behind her ear.
"I hate it when my hair isn't tucked out of my face." Ally said. She was used to thinking out loud around Austin, it was normal. But it wasn't normal to be blushing madly like crazy around his presence.
"That's something new." He replied. He seemed off today.
"What's wrong?" Ally asked. Austin looked over to her, then back at the ground. He shook his head.
"Just some family problems." Austin said. "It's not a big deal, really. I mean, since everything is my fault."
"Austin, don't just blame it on you. You probably had nothing to do with it." Ally said.
"But it was all my fault." Austin said. "I was talking to my dad about the field trip and I got so excited and told him how much I love music."
"Isn't that a good thing?" Ally interrupted. He shook his head.
"No. My dad wants me to be a lawyer, not a musician." He replied. "It's all my fault."
"Stop saying it's your fault. It's not."
"Yeah it is!" Austin snapped. Ally backed away. She wasn't used to Austin snapping at her. She began to feel tears form and Austin saw that too.
"No Ally. Don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm just in a really bad mood." Austin said. Holding out his hands for a hug.
"It's okay Austin." Ally said, accepting his apology and returning his hug.
"Looks like we've walked into Lovebird lane." Someone called. That voice belonged to the one and only Dallas. The same Dallas Ally had a crush on for two months. Behind him was Elliot, and then there was Chuck.
"We're just friends." Austin and Ally simultaneously replied. Dallas nodded.
"Yeah. Sure. Like I believe that." Dallas said.
"Well you better believe it because it's true." Ally said. She was always unable to speak to him, and so she was remarked at how fast those words came out of her mouth.
"Yeah sure. Whatever. By the way... I want to COME TO YOUR WEDDING." Dallas said. He ran away with Elliot and Chuck running behind.
"He's a jerk." Austin said. Ally nodded her head in agreement.
"I can't believe I had a crush on him." Ally said.
"Wait, 'had'? You mean you don't like him anymore?" Austin asked.
"Yeah." Ally said. "Not anymore."
"So you're not going to give him a Valentine anymore?" Austin asked. "As your plan to get him to 'love' you?"
"Nope. Not anymore. Besides, I'm already making one for you." Ally said. Realizing what she had said and noticing Austin's eyes widen, she quickly added, "Because you're my best guy friend."
Austin's eyes seemed to relax, but there was something else in his eyes, and Ally couldn't point it out. Was it stress, happiness, hurt?
"So... Are you excited for the field trip?" Ally asked, trying to pull herself out of this awkward situation.
"Yeah I am. I heard that they have a HUGE tuba display! That's really cool dude!" Austin exclaimed. Ally slightly smiled.
The bus drove over to their bus stop and Austin stepped aside.
"Ladies first." Austin said.
"I thought I was a dude a second ago." Ally said sarcastically with a smile on her face.
"Yeah, but you're more of a lady than I am." Austin replied.
"I'm more man than you." Ally said.
"KIDS JUST GET ON THE BUS!" The bus driver yelled.
Austin and Ally looked up at the angry bus driver and looked over at the kids waiting impatiently on the bus. Ally quickly got on the his and sat in an empty seat, and Austin came after and sat next to her.
"Thank you." The bus driver said, closing the door and driving to school.
Austin and Ally broke out into huge fits of laughter.
"Wanna play Sweet N' Sour?" Austin asked.
"Sure. But I'm going to win." Ally said.
"In your dreams Dawson. I'm a pro."
"Yeah. Because of your 'baby butt' cheeks." Ally said.
"Hey! They're a gift!" Austin said.
"Yeah, sure. For pinching." Ally said, and then pinched his cheek.
"Ow. That hurt." Austin said, rubbing his cheek.
"You're a weakling. No wonder I'm more man than you." Ally said.
"No!" Austin said like a little kid.
"Even the teacher thought you were a girl before you got your haircut." Ally said.
Austin stuck his tongue out at her, and looked out the window. Ally could see him laughing in his reflection and she relaxed in her seat.
Haha baby-butt cheeks ;)
