Well, I certainly was meaning to update sooner. But I let my friends get the best of me. Sorry about that. I hope this chapter makes up for it. (Just pointing this out there, it probably won't. My writing is like super sucky this week.)
Disclaimer: I don't own Austin and Ally.
Ally's POV
You know the feeling you get after you talk to your crush for the very first time? Like your stomach is surrounded by butterflies, and your cheeks get all flushed, and you swear that your heart is beating so fast, it could beat a cheetah on steroids in a race. Well for some reason, I had all of those effects after I spoke to Ross last night. And yea, I mean when Austin snuck in my room last night for some "fun" it did help some of those side effects go, but I couldn't help the way my face lit up when I thought about how close Ross got to me. I could almost make out the little pores that painted across his golden cheeks. After convincing myself that maybe the new perfume I had just purchased, might have contained some sort of hormonal crap that caused my emotions to be all weird, I managed to get myself out of bed a dressed for breakfast.
I decided on some black Nike shorts, with a half shirt that showed my mid drift, yes I know, maybe a little risky. But hey! Mimi told me to act like this was home. And when I was at home I did not like to dress like Martha Stewart, when all I was going to be doing was stuffing my face with biscuits and eggs. After putting my hair in a loose bun, I sped downstairs and made my way to the kitchen. Once I saw who was in there, I immediately gulped. The only person that stood in the kitchen was Ross. His hair was perfect, and he wore a plaid shirt, with tan khakis. I made my way to the table, and sat there silently, not even daring to move a muscle. Ross sat across from me; I could feel his glare, like the sun rays at the beach. Normally, I would have ignored it, but at this moment I felt annoyed. I mean if he thinks I'm so "pathetic" why stare at me? I took in a huge breath before saying "Take a picture. It will last longer." I thought I heard him choke on something, but when I looked up he seemed fine. His gaze was now on the table, and that same smirk from yesterday played on his slender lips. "What? You're done kissing my ass now?" I felt my blood curdle as I gave him a dirty look. Right as I opened my mouth to retaliate, Austin walked in looking clean and cut. His hair was wet and gelled, and his body wore a white polo with some formal jeans. "Hey, babe. You look… comfortable." I bit my lip before examining myself. Dang, I really should have worn that sun dress. "Well… I just figured that since we were just having breakfast, why dress fancy?" Austin smiled before shaking his head. "Ally. Didn't my mom tell you? We're going out to celebrate Ross's homecoming. I could have sworn I told you last night." I gasped before jumping up. "OH MY GOSH! I-I-I I have to get ready. There is no way that I am going out in public looking like this!" I pointed to myself before zooming upstairs. My life sucked sometimes.
"Oh Ross! That's so funny!" Mimi exclaimed as we entered the limo. Yes I know a freaking limousine. Just for a jerk face 16 year old boy, that obviously has no manners. We had just finished eating breakfast at the La fronte. An extremely expensive French restaurant, that the price of the water can put a family bankrupt. The breakfast would have actually been fun, if the whole time Ross hadn't kept saying little Jabs at me. How my stage fright is childish, and that I won't get anywhere in my life if I keep using that as an excuse. I wanted to punch him in the face pretty much the whole time! But instead I settled for a good under table foot kick. Which he seemed not to feel. Once we arrived at the house I stormed out the car. I was angry, and I did not want to be anywhere near Ross. I ran inside my room and slammed the door. I didn't understand why he hated me so much, I hadn't done anything wrong. I had played over the first day we met, over and over in my head. Searching for errors, mistakes, something! Anything! But nothing came up. What did I do to deserve this? Oh yea, I forgot. Absolutely nothing.
After I stripped off my "fancy clothes" and "fancy shoes" I plopped my face on my pillow. I was upset right now, I wanted to cry. Right as the tears began to fall, my door creaked open and I heard someone come in. Thinking it was Austin I threw a pillow at them and yelled "Get out!" But once the pillow came crashing into me, harder than I had threw it I knew it was none other than Ross. I quickly sat up and grabbed a blanket over me. I don't think Ross seeing me in a sports bra was smart. "What do you want?" I snapped, trying not to smirk. It was funny thinking how the tables had turned since yesterday, when I had been on the other side.
Ross just walked slowly towards me, his breathing was slow too. It was hypnotizing. "Look. I know we haven't gotten off on the best start, but I was thinking. Maybe we should change that." Under some sort of trance, I nodded. My whole body in complete shock. Was Ross actually apologizing? I couldn't believe this. But I wanted so badly to. "Yea, I don't want to have this invisible wall between us. I really want to get to know you more. Austin talks about you all the time. And I don't want you to me hate me." Ross nodded before sitting on my bed, his green eyes just gazing at me. "I-I-If you don't mind me asking, why are you staring at me?" He smiled before getting closer. "Oh nothing. It's just y-y-your beautiful." I felt my cheeks go burning hot, as he got even closer. I shook my head before laughing. "You think I'm beautiful?" He nodded, caressing my cheek with his soft hands. When did he get that close? "Want to know what else I think?" I nodded. I really did want to know, it was like my whole existence depended on it. "You really are pathetic." Oh, my gosh… Ross just said I was beautiful and pathetic… wait what?! I suddenly snapped out whatever "trance" I was in and sat straight up. "W-w-what?" He then stood up before smirking and shaking his head. "Well earlier, I actually thought you had a back bone. You were spicy and disrespectful. The way you stormed out that car. It was hot. But now, you're just the little sweet Ally you were. You're a kiss up. You're just pathetic." Ross gave me one more look before walking out. Tears swelled in my eyes. What he said stung, it hurt. Even though I was just confused. Why did everything he did, or said, affect me so much? He wasn't my boyfriend no he was just his brother. Why did I take everything to heart? I shook my head myself, before closing my eyes. What Ross said might have been true. But I wasn't going to change myself. I was Ally Dawson, the cute nerd. I wasn't meant to be spicy or hot. It was out of place. If Ross thought that saying those things would change me. He was wrong… Or was he?
Oh snap. Mystery alert! Do you think Ally should change? Leave your answers in the reviews!
