HeLLozzzz! :D
(These just get weirder and weirder)
What's up, amazing people? I figured that it wouldn't be fair if I didn't write a chapter today, so that's exactly what I'm going to do! ;) But first of all, I wanted to thank a few people.
So, a HUGE thank you to Some-Awesome-Angie ! She helped me a whole lot with my writing, and she's an awesome person! So, thanks so much for the support and the cookies! ;)
Also, a HUGE thank you to fingers interlocked for supporting me. She's an awesome person, just saying. And I'm really sad that I can't PM you, so I shall thank you through this! You're awesome, girl! XOXO :3
And, yeah, that's pretty much it! I'm overall thankful to EVERY SINGLE ONE of my awesome readers, but I just wanted to thank these people in particular. But really, you're all amazing. All of you. Also, it would be awesome if the guests could come up with names like "Guest 1, Guest 2" or something, just so I could answer you and thank you later on. :)
And now, before I continue this story, I decided that I will not be changing the title, until further ado.
Enjoy&Review!
*Austin's P.O.V*
"What was that all about?" my friend, Conner, asked me as I sat down at the table. "You're not supposed to touch the nerds, dude. It's our golden rule!" He gave out a laugh, and the others joined in, too. Except for me.
It's just…Ally's special. She's really cute, and doesn't throw herself at me like the other girls. I appreciate that about her. I've actually grown to like her. But I know she doesn't like me back. In fact, I know for a fact that she's actually terrified of me, because I'm 'popular'. Damn these stupid labels. That's why, lately, I've been trying to be nicer to her. I've been trying to prove to her that I'm not all about girls and popularity. But I think that makes her even more creeped out.
"Dude, why did you come with her in the first place?" One of the other guys at the table shouted. "You're not in love, are you?"
More laughter.
Yep, that's the kind of thing I have to deal with here. My friends, if you can even call them that, like me, more or less, because they hope that they could rub off some of my popularity. If I could, I'd give it all to them. I don't need it. If it wasn't for my brother, I probably wouldn't have it, anyway.
See, my brother, Rocky, is in a band. They're pretty famous, touring the whole world and what-not. And ever since my brother's band got created, all the people in school got this crazy idea that if they befriended me, maybe they could meet Rocky or even join his band.
And like that, without me wanting it, I became popular. Now, every girl wishes she could be with me. And every guy wishes he could be me. It's not like I'm showing off, though. Again, I didn't want this reputation. It kind of just formed itself. And now that I have it, Rocky says I should just keep it on the roll. So, I just go with it.
But the truth is, I'm freaking sick of it. I can't talk to the people I want to talk with, I can't say the things I want to say, and I…I just can't be myself.
I tried pushing those thoughts away. "Um…no. Of course I don't like her. I was just helping her. She doesn't know where the diner is, so I figured I could walk her here. No biggie."
That wasn't exactly a lie. I mean, Ally could probably find her way here without me, but that doesn't mean I can't help her. My answer seemed to please the guys, so they let me off the hook for the rest of the meal.
Once we were done eating, our teacher, Ms. Brigs, stood up and made an announcement. "Ok, kids, now that we have settled down, here is some more information about our trip. Mrs. Jansen here, will give us more details."
Mrs. Jansen made her way towards the center of the room. She was quite aged. Blonde hair fell over shoulders. "Hello, kids. I'm happy that you're enjoying your stay here, on our ship. We'll arrive in San Francisco in a short amount of days, three tops. Meanwhile, you can feel safe aboard."
I glanced at Ally, who was sitting with Abigail a few tables away from me. She seemed worried, almost sad. Apparently, she wasn't enjoying this trip all that much. I promised myself to see what all that was about, first chance I get.
After Mrs. Jansen's speech, we were allowed to head to our cabins. I tried walking towards Ally, but Conner and a few other guys blocked my path and directed me towards the on-board arcade to play virtual basketball.
I shot some hoops, but I eventually got bored and excused myself. As I walked towards my cabin, I saw Selena and a couple of her friends in the boutique, trying make-up on. That made me wonder what Ally is doing…I hurried off towards her cabin.
Once in front of her door, I debated on knocking. Was it really a good idea? Probably not. But was I going to do it anyway? Probably yes.
Sighing, I knocked on the door softly. No answer. I jiggled the doorknob, but it was locked, so I just stood there in front of Ally's cabin.
Why didn't she answer me? I was sure that she was in there, but still, she didn't asnwer. Is she…avoiding me? I doubted that, but then again, what do I know?
It probably would've been best for me if I'd just gone back to my own cabin, but instead I leaned towards the wall. I must've been pretty exhausted, because I had apparently fallen asleep, right there, against the wall. I woke up only when a pair of manicured paws dug into my shoulder.
"Austin!" A girl screamed. My eyesight was still pretty fuzzy, so I rubbed my eyes with the back of my hand, trying to get the sleep out of them. When I could focus again, I saw Selena standing in front of me.
"Uhhhh?" That was all I managed to mutter, when she smashed me into one of her bear hugs. She reeked, yes, reeked, of perfume and I had to hold my breath.
"What are you doing in front of my cabin, sweetie?" Selena asked me, once she finally let me go. "Are you here to visit me?" Some of her friends screeched, which did not help me think.
Her cabin? I thought this was Ally's cabin. Oh, wait. That means that…Poor Ally. She's rooming with the devil.
Ta-daa! :D
What do you, amazing people, think?! I really hope you liked this chapter! Tell me your thoughts in those reviews I love oh-so-much! :)
I would like to hug all of you, guys, but I can't. You guys are seriously the best. Remember this, ok? You. Are. The. Best.
Thanks for everything! I love you all!
Stay awesome and #LOUD!
