Not a Love Song-Or Is It?
10-Texas Competition
"Guess what Jacqueline gave me?" Trish shouted, running into the Sonic Boom where Ally was helping a customer.
"A discount card for the cell-phone accessory cart?" Ally guessed.
"Yeah! How'd you know?"
"It says it right on your card you're holding."
"Oh. Hehe, yeah. Forgot about that. So, anyways, want to come with me to buy a new shiny phone cover?"
"Would I get one too?"
"Sure, why not?"
"Okay, yeah!"
"Well, let's go before it closes!"
The two girls walked out of the store and into the mall's food court.
Dallas watched as two more girls walked up to his cart. Something about him had girls coming at him left and right. He's not complaining, oh no. Why would he? There was something about the one girl coming to him that caught his eye. Her brown hair, her sensible dress, the way she walked so nervously, just turned something on inside of him. There was something special with this girl.
Ally couldn't help staring at the guy working the cart. His dark hair, his dark eyes-had something about him that was so hypnotizing. She was starting to get nervous, and she tried to cover it up by acting cool. But a "cool" Ally doesn't really work out.
"Hi, how may I help you young ladies?" he asked, flipping his bangs back.
Ally had trouble breathing. "We just wanted some phone covers for our phones, you know, to look cool. As cool as me, with the way I walk and talk and cool stuff like that," she asked, trying to sound confident but savvy. Trish rolled her eyes.
"Okay. Here you go. I'm Dallas by the way," Dallas aid, handed them two sparkly covers, one pink and one blue.
"Hi, I'm Ally. Dawson. Ally Dawson."
He smiled. Ally nearly lost what was left of her control. "Cool name."
"Oh, no. Yours is way cooler than mine. Yours is like the coolest name in the entire universe. Its like—" Trish pulled Ally away from Dallas, cutting her off from her rambles.
"You can't impress him like that! And besides, I thought you liked Austin," Trish harshly whispered.
"I do! It's just, this Dallas kid, is something totally different."
Trish let out a huge breath. "You better sort out your priorities girl before something bad really happens."
He has kind eyes
And hair that flops the right way
We work so close to each other
Yet we're so far apart
And he smells like a fresh summer breeze
And what is cooler than a guy named after a city in Texas?
"That is so you Austin!" Dez shouted, pointing at the book.
I whistled. "Yep. Now for the hard work."
"What hard work?"
"Asking her out."
"Oh… Oh dear."
Ally walked into the room and Dez quickly threw the book behind him. "Wha-? Did you read my book?" Ally asked sternly.
"No!" Dez and I said quickly.
"After how many times I told you not to touch it?"
"We didn't touch it at all madam," Dez said again.
Ally rolled her eyes. "Well, anyway. Trish and I just got new phone covers from the cell-phone accessory cart and the guy that works there is named Dallas. And he is so—" she quickly cut herself off.
And what is cooler than a guy named after a city in Texas… I replayed in my head. I realized something bad right now. Dallas is the name of another city in Texas.
