Hey I'm back! Well since no one really reads author's note, let's get on with the story
Disclaimer: I do not own Austin & Ally except for the plot
Austin paced back and forth in his bedroom. His hands are starting to get sweaty. His face has a rather panicked look, mixed with excitement. His mind keeps on racing on several thoughts. As he keeps on thinking, paced faster and faster. You'll be okay, you'll be okay, he tought to himself.
Austin's POV
I tried playing cool. I strummed my guitar and tried playing a few chords. It didn't work. I washed my face with cool, running water from the bathroom sink. It didn't work. I layed on my bed and stared at the ceiling. It only made it worse. So I stood up and start pacing back and forth.
There's so many thoughts lingering in my head. She's coming over in any minute. This could be my big chance to make a move. But what do I have to do? I don'twant to make her uncomfortable. I ran my hand through my hair and looked at the mirror. I wore a dark blue shirt buttoned neatly with black jeans. I mess with my hair a little, just to make it look more natural.
After what feels like centuries, I heard my doorbell ring.
"I'll get it!" I ran to the door before anyone can. I tidied my shirt a little and sighed. This is it.I grabbed the doorknob and looked at her. I immediately froze.
I looked at her from head to toe. She was wearing a turqoise and black stripes t-shirt, a black vest, dark blue skinny jeans, and yellow flats. Her hair is curled like always, and I can tell she is not wearing any make up. But she looks absolutely beautiful. Even her lips seems glossy without lip gloss.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"Is something wrong?"
"No, why?"
"You keep on staring at me" she answered with a suspicious look.
I blushed a little and said, "No it's not like that, you just look..great."
And now it's her turn to blush. She smiled and said "Aww you're so sweet! Thank you!"
I smiled back and gestured her to come in. She took a quick look around the house. I am very lucky now, cause my house is currently in a clean and tidy condition. "You have a lovely house here", Ally said. "Thanks", I answered her.
I asked her to follow me into the living room. I gestured for her to sit down. "I'll be right back", I said as I leave the living room.
I came back a few minutes later with my math book, two glasses of apple juice, and some cashew nuts put in a bowl. She smiled at as I took a seat next to her on the sofa. I set the drinks and snack on the table and put my math book on my lap.
"So, shall we get started?". Ally nodded and took a peek at the page on my book which I showed her.
We finised the homework an hour later. Ally is an AMAZING teacher. Better than my teacher, I should say. She makes me understand everything well. She even made math seems fun! I thought that was almost impossible. She teaches me slowly but patiently, and cheer when I can figure out a problem.
It's a good thing that she can't hear my heartbeat. My heart keeps beating like crazy. The look on her face gave me butterflies. I can't help it.
"Austin, I need to go now", Ally said. "Why? It's only 7 pm. My parents are coming home soon if you want to stay for dinner." I replied. I really hoped she can stay a little bit longer.
"No Austin I can't. I promised my parents I'll go home for dinner." I felt my heart broke a little. That little glimpse of hope suddenly went away. I let out a fake smile and said "Oh that's okay, I get it. Come on, I'll walk you to the door."
I opened the door for Ally. We said our goodbyes then she left. Her house is just a few blocks away, so she just walked home. I watched her until she was out of sight and close the door.
I ran up to my room and slomp on my bed. I inhaled a deep breath and exhale loudly. I stayed there in that position untill I heard my parents came home. I head to the bathroom and wash my face again.
I'm pretty dissapointed, and I'm aware of that. I thought I can introduce her to my parents. I thought she can stay for about another two hours. I want to spend more time with her.
But she can't.
I wiped my face with a towel and walked back to my room. I sat on a chair and think. I really shouldn't be thinking about this. It's not a big deal anyway. She's just coming over to help me with my homework. Which she did. And she did an amazing job. That's it.
But part of me wanted something more. Part of me wanted to hang out with her as friends. Part of me wanted to watch romantic comedies and snuggle together in the living room. Part of me wanted to show my room with lots of music instruments. Part of me wanted to see her play those music instruments.
Calm down Austin. It's not that big of a deal. She can't disobey her parents.
After dinner I walked upstairs to my room. I decided to text her. One of the good things that happened is that we exchanged each other's numbers. I started typing a text to her. After analyzing lots of times, I clicked the 'send' button.
I waited for a few minutes untill I got a reply.

From: Ally
To: Austin
Aww your're welcome. It's a pleasure to teach you, I love teaching people!

I rolled my eyes and smiled at her reply. I started typing back.

To: Austin

Anyway I am SO SORRY I can't hang a bit longer today :/ I already kinda promised my parents. It's nice hanging with you tho :)
I sighed. Well at least she feels sorry.. And she does seem like she mean it.
From: Austin
To: Ally
It's okay actually. I understand. Wished we could hang longer too :(
Maybe some other time?
I freezed while waiting for a reply. My hands tapped the edge of my desk until i heard my phone buzz. I immediately opened it. If I didn't control myself, I would've screamed like a girl.

Cool. See you then :)
I closed my phone and jumped to bed. This is totally a moodbooster. I even forgot what happened before. I laid down with a smile on my face and eventually drift to sleep.
"Soooo..." Dez said. "So what?" I asked.
"How the study date go?" He asked with a grin.
"Nothing much, she just helped me with my homework. No big deal."
"No big deal huh? Then why are you smiling and blushing?"
I looked at the floor. Was I really blushing?
"Nothing really happened. But she is an awesome teacher."
"Better than Mr Collins?"
"Better than Mr Collins" I repeated with a nod. Dez looked at me and asked again. "Did you do anything afterwards?"
"No.. She promised her parents she would have dinner at home" I said with a sad tone. "But guess what happened?", I said, now in a happy tone.
"What?", Dez asked in confusion.
"We are hanging out this Saturday!" I squealed. Yes, I squealed. I was that happy.
"Awesome!" He said. Then we did our regular handshake.
"So is this um.. A date?" he asked. I thought for a while and shook my head.
"Nah, more like two friends hanging out."
"So when are you planning to ask her on a real date?" he asked again.I stayed silent for a few moments. I really don't know. We just started hanging out, maybe not so soon.
"I don't know Dez. Maybe not so soon, I wanted to be her friend first."
Dez nodded with a serious look on his face. "I understand bro. But don't take too long, or someone will snatch her away first" he said.
Suddenly, I am reminded that I have lots of competitors too. Lots of guys want her. I am not the only one.
If I don't act fast, I lose.
Thank you for reading! Review please.
