Okay. There's kind of a time leap, like a month later. Also, sorry about the late update. Sophomore year is a bit harder... Okay. Now onto the story.
Ally POV
Only 320 more days!
~A
I read the text as I walked into school. My first day. Sigh. We started wicked early. I hate private school only because of that. I walked into the ever so crowded office to wait in the eternally long line for my schedule and locker information.
When I was about 5th in line, Brooke comes up behind me and cuts with me.
"You know, there's other people back here?" A junior behind me told Brooke.
"You know, my friend's right here?" She answered back, pointing at me.
Just then, we were at the front, and they were getting our information, so the junior decided to drop it. Good thing too. He wouldn't have been able to beat Brooke at any argument, whether it was kitties are cuter than puppies, or the moon is brighter than the sun. Brooke can argue.
After we stepped out of line, we compared our schedules and locker numbers.
"We only have three classes together, and one of them's lunch!" Brooke yelled.
"And I'm locker 129 and you're 65! What the heck?" I exclaimed.
"Well, that's disappointing. Maybe we can rearrange our schedules?" Brooke asked.
"I tried last year, remember? But the lady who is in charge of the schedules is really mean and doesn't like anyone, so that's out." I told her. "I guess we're just gonna have to rough it out and make new friends."
"Yeah..." She trailed off, and we went to our first period classes. Her to Biology, and me to Algebra 2.
We go through the morning, where we have no classes together, and it's treacherous.
Austin POV
After I send the text to Ally, I finish packing. Let me explain.
Flashback, 345 more days
Hey, what are you doing for Ally's birthday? -Brooke, Ally's friend.
My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. What the heck? Ally's friend, Brooke, just texted me.
How did you get my number?
I texted her back, adding her to my contacts list.
I texted myself your number from Ally's phone. She doesn't know I have it.
Wow.
I don't know yet. I wanted to surprise her with something, but I don't know what. I don't get into school until the Monday after you, assuming you go to school with Ally.
I told her, remembering what she told me.
What if you come down? Her birthday is the Thursday after our school starts, and we could all do something.
That's a good idea, Brooke.
Awesome, I could also bring some of my friends, which are her friends too. Dez, Elliot, and Cassidy. We could all go to... what does Ally like to do?
I honestly didn't know what we could do. I'm pretty sure Ally's the kind of girl who likes to watch plays and read Shakespeare in her free time.
Nothing that interesting. She doesn't get out much. The last time she did something like that was when we went to Marine World with our eighth grade class.
Long time, Ally. You need to get out. We'll fix that. I'll show you how to have fun.
Are there any amusement parks like that around where you live?
I remember promising Ally that I would show her how fun roller coasters are.
There's a Great America not far from where we go to school, and where she lives, for that matter.
Great America. That could be fun. Really fun.
See you there, I'll buy the tickets. Hows the Sunday after? I'll come over on Friday and come to church with you guys.
Awwww! You are the most awesome boyfriend ever. Is there any chance I can get one of you? You got any friends like you?
I think about Elliot, who is taken by Cassidy, then Dez, who is nothing like me, and already has a crush.
Nope. All my friends are taken, and not exactly like me. You'll see. I'll have more info later.
End of Flashback
I was getting ready for my weekend trip when she was getting ready for school. Brooke and I decided that I would surprise her at their church. Then, we would take her 'somewhere' on Sunday, and walk right into Great America.
It would be perfect.
Dez, Elliot, and Cassidy were also coming. I couldn't wait to see my girlfriend again. I love saying that.
I wasn't really used to saying that. We would talk, some, but 'girlfriend' and 'boyfriend' would never come up. I was ready for that to start.
Ally POV
Good morning, beautiful. How are you on this fine day? How does it feel to be 15, birthday girl? Oh, also, 319 days! Love you!
~A
I smiled at the text, not only because it was from Austin, but also because of the truth behind the words. 15. Wow. I don't know if I can handle this kind of responsibility.
It feels amazing, but I don't really feel any different. Except for the loads of pressure on me now.
I thought back to all the college planning that went through my head on the first day. Every single one of my teachers reminded me that colleges started looking at all your sophomore grades, and we should work on our GPA asap, and how the PSAT and ACT and SAT tests are coming up.
Don't worry. We'll get through high school together. Even if we aren't together. I love you.
I could not have a more wonderful boyfriend.
Love you, too.
And with that, I went on with my day normally.
O.o.O.o.O.o.O
My week had gone on without any large events. Even my birthday was quite uneventful. Oh, don't get me wrong. I had an amazing birthday, but nothing really happened. I got a few CD's, a new baseball glove, and a music book.
But nothing from Austin.
318!
Came onto my phone on Friday, and I still hadn't received anything from Austin. Not even a text telling me that he sent it. I decided to question him.
Did you send me something for my birthday? I haven't gotten it, if you did...
I told him, assuming he did remember to get me something. I mean, I would assume he gets me something.
Oh yeah. I just had to make sure it was perfect, so I didn't send it until today. It should arrive there tomorrow. Don't worry. I didn't forget. ;)
I smiled.
Did you just read my mind, or something? I swear, are you magic?
I sent him the text, and only a few seconds later, a reply came in.
Close. ;)
I rolled my eyes.
:P
Austin POV
I read her text, and put away my phone. My car was packed. My mom was driving, I was in the front seat, Dez, Cassidy, then Elliot in the back seat.
"Are we there yet?" Dez said. We had only left a few minutes before, and we had just got on the freeway.
"Really, Dez?" Elliot said, his eyebrows up.
"I get really bored in car rides." Dez admits sheepishly.
"Let's play a game!" Cassidy announces.
Remembering all of Cassidy's other games, I object.
"Yeah. I'll pick it, though. Not you. Your games are dirty and sick and wrong. Let's play the license plate game, or the letter game, on both license plates and signs." I suggest, trying to escape whatever game came into Cassidy's twisted mind.
"Oooh! The letter game!" Dez says, as excited as a three year old.
The entire 2 hours and 53 minutes we are in the car beyond that point is filled with car games and laughter.
Okay. It's 8:19 and I should seriously start my History homework. Hey, so it's my birthday tomorrow, so I might put up another chapter or a one-shot to celebrate, so keep your eyes out! Sorry for the huge time skip, it just seemed to be really boring to stay in that time. I hope that this chapter is satisfying, but not for the long wait. Again, sorry for that. But school has taken a toll on me, and I've gone for 3 days. So, yeah. Enough of that. I'm out.
