Hello beautiful minds! This chapter, they're going to be getting to know each other a little more but not much because I don't want to rush it. So enjoy!
It's only been 3 days and Austin is already popular, but he doesn't sit with the popular people at lunch. He stalks off somewhere, which makes me wonder more about him. We don't talk much at school, but he would nod or smirk at me if I was he caught me staring at him.
"Honey how was school?" my mom asked me whilst cooking lunch.
"It's good, I'm going to change, it was raining today" I tell her before going to my room. I change into sweatpants and an oversized top.
"Dinner's at 7!" mom tells me when I get down the stairs.
"Kay, I'm just going to go out for a jog" I reply putting on my sneakers.
"In the rain?" she asks as if I was stupid.
"Uh, yeah… I just need to get some things off my mind" I reply absentminded.
I walk out the door and I begin my small journey around the neighbourhood. Not looking where I was going, I trip over a rock. I wait for the wet ground to hit me, but again, all I can feel are two strong arms holding me.
"This is the second time shorty, must be fate" a voice says. Austin.
"Well thanks, you sarcastic bastard, but I have to go somewhere" I fire back.
"In the rain?" he asks in the same tone as mom.
"Ugh, yes! In the rain!" I answer frustrated. He steps back, hand up in defence.
"Sorry, it's just, why do people think it's weird to walk in the rain?" I apologize.
"Because it's cold at this time and you can catch a cold?" he asks in a 'duh' tone.
"Well… I happen to find the rain relaxing and soothing, that's why I choose to walk in the rain, you know, to get everything out of your mind?" I tell him looking at him straight in the eye.
"Yeah… I totally get that" he replies voice softening a bit.
"You do?" I ask him eyes lighting up. "I think you're the only person that gets me!" I smile widely at him. "Well gotta go, bye!" I wave and I leave him.
It's been a while now and it's still raining. I thought that it would stop, but it hasn't. Not that it's a bad thing, just that I'm getting a little light headed. So cold, but I'm close to home. Just as I'm passing Austin's house I see a mop of blond.
"-lly. Ally! ALLY!" a familiar voice shouts. It's Austin… again.
"Huh?" I can't even think properly. "Oh, it's you"
"What do you mean?" he asks smirk tugging at his lips.
"Nothi-…" but I don't have enough time to finish my sentence, as my last drop of strength is gone and I fall forward. I don't know what happens but all I can see is a blonde's hazel eyes before everything goes black.
I wake up to the sunny skies beating down on me. I yawn and I rub my eye slightly, adjusting to the light, but then I scream of horror at the person in front of me.
"What the heck are you doing here?" I ask gasping for breaths.
"Now, now that's not the way you talk to your saviour, is it?" a voice says overly sweet.
"S-Saviour? I don't care, that doesn't give you a reason to be in room Austin!" I fire at him.
"Then how am I supposed to take care of you while your parents are gone, neighbour?" he replies smirking.
"Get this Austin. I. Don't. Care. How do I know that you, a guy I met a few days ago, could be an undercover pervert?! Huh?! Huh?!" I ask him crazily.
"Now, that's just being too stupid and you know that…" he replies lazily.
"Fine, let's go downstairs, have you had breakfast?" I ask walking down the stairs.
"Nah" he says, walking alongside me.
"Guess, I'll make toast". We make our toast and we eat, occasionally talking. And by talking, I mean him teasing me and me firing something back at him. It was fun.
"Let's do something, I'm already bored" Austin points out.
"Disney movies and popcorn!" I say immediately smiling at him.
"No"
"Pleeeease, Austin!" I plead getting so close to him that our noses were touching. He sighs then he says 'Ok'.
"Why are you crying?"
"B-Because the little mermaid finally gets to speak!"
"You're supposed to cry when bad things happen, not when happy things happen"
"But she looks so beautiful in that wedding dress and so h-happy!"
"That has got nothing to do with what I just said. Just stop crying Austin" I said getting irritated. We were watching 'The Little Mermaid'.
"Ok grouchy pants" he replied taking a handful of sugar popcorn. "Now that the movie's done, what do you want to do before putting in another one?"
"Let's… play Twenty-Questions!" I cheer.
"No" he replies, almost too fast.
"Come on Austin, you said you'd do anything for me since, I'm sick" I plead one again.
"I never said that" he replies cocky and all.
"Alright…" I pretend to be all sulky and I look down at the sofa, where I'm sitting, hoping he'd crack. But he didn't. By the time I look up, he's already started 'Aladdin'. I punch him slightly on his shoulder and watch the movie with him.
"Tell me about your live in London before you came here, Austin" I ask him when we switch off the TV.
"There's nothing to say, shorty" he answers simply.
"Stop calling me that, now tell. Did you have any brothers or sisters?"
"You just can't help but be nosy, can't you?" he fires at me.
"Well I can't help but wonder about my new neighbour?" I fire back at him.
"Look, I don't need 'some girl' asking about my personal life" he says looking up at me.
"Yeah, well it doesn't really help when you've got a guy in your house who you nothing about!" I huff, knowing that I'm right.
"Whatever" he answers.
"Thank you, I rest my case. Now tell me about your life before you came here" I smile knowing that I won.
"Well, I was born here, but I moved to London when I was young. I had a brother named Ashton but he's in university now and my parents divorced before I was even born" he said plainly. "That's all you need to know for now"
"Ok"
