Chapter 4

Plane part 1

(Ally pov)

I'm at the airport its 5 o clock in the morning. Trish's dad dropped all of us up and now we are on the plane. It is times like these that I really wish I would reconsider the promise to myself that I would never drink coffee…I NEED TO WAKE UP! But, then again, do I really want to be awake to experience the fullness of this stressful scenario running through my mind. *sigh* I know I have to face this some time….but maybe I can procrastinate a little longer with the excuse of catching up on some much- needed sleep on the plane.

The fact that Austin and I were sitting right next to each other on the plane was not helping matters for my brain. It was actually kind of bitter-sweet…You see, the guy has a way with always bringing a glimmer of sunlight to any crappy situation. It actually irritates me sometimes….Like, some times I just want to wallow in my emotions, and then he has to go and make me laugh! What does a girl gotta do in order to enjoy her own pitty party! I mean, come on! 'It's my party and I'll cry if I darn well want to!' Anyways, I know I will end up feeling better about things once Austin gets me going with his sense of humor and oh-so-adorable smile ( ohhhh my lanta I cannot believe I just said that!), but let's face it, he's pretty hot, right? But this doesn't mean that I like him! Friends are allowed to think friends are attractive, right?

But on a more serious note, I need time to process what I am thinking and feeling right now. This trip is going to stir up some memories from my past that I don't think I am ready to face yet.

"Ally, look!" Austin exclaimed as he pointed enthusiastically as he shoved two peanuts from the complimentary snack bag up his nostrils. "Something smells like peanut butter! Hahahaha try it!"

*Sigh. And the fun begins! Welp, better get some shut-eye before I inhale a peanut like my buddy over here. Good night world and don't wait up for me!

(Austin pov)

Finally she is resting peacefully … I could tell she had something on her mind… she is not very good at hiding whether she is upset or stressed or not but maybe she was just tired we did have to wake up at 4o'clock in the morning. Then I tried to cheer her up by shoving peanuts up my nose, yeah I should have thought of a different way to cheer her up because I still have part of a peanut stuck in my nostril . In that half-awake stage that people experience when they are trying to fall asleep, she kept leaning toward me and then jerking her head up, as if resisting my shoulder as a place to rest her head. After about ten of her head-jerks, I pulled her head toward me, and she collapsed on my shoulder. Man, to be honest, she looked kinda cute while sleeping and I liked having her head rest on my shoulder…BUT this doesn't mean I like her! For Pete's Sake, can't a guy say that he appreciates the company of his female friend?! I think so…and it doesn't hurt that she is easy on the eyes….anyhow, I need to think about something else now….SEAFORD! Woohoo! Got another gig, make another buck, and maybe even spend some time at the Cali beaches! This is gonna be an awesome adventure!

As I glance at Ally right beside me, I cannot help but think how pretty she is. No matter how hard I try to distract myself with other thoughts, she is the one that is most important. Let's face it Austin. You've got it bad for her. And you need to tell her soon.

Wow! Austin finally admits to himself his feelings for Ally...so sweet—but it could NOT have been WORST timing even if he tried! Will Austin confess his feelings to Ally soon like he said he's going to, or will he chicken out or decide it isn't worth risking the friendship? And IF he decides to tell Ally, will it be on their trip to Seaford and make things even more messy? Read the next chapter to find out more about Austin's lovebug bite and also some updates from Jack and the Wasabi warriors! Tell me what you think! Please review because I love your feedback!
