Chapter 11: Llllllloooooonnnngggg Day and Should I or Should I Not?
Austin's POV
The next day, which was Monday, I had to do something that I "missed" the most about Miami-school. Grrrreeeeaaaatttt! Sure, you would reiterate to me that I could've stayed up and slept in until either twelve or all the way up to three in the afternoon. (I just got home from my stinking two-year European tour, for crimney's sakes!) But nope, that was NOT going to happen. To make sure that their son did not miss anymore school, my "loving" parents would gently shake me and say softly "Wake up, honey, wake up" about twenty times! I groaned and slowly dragged myself out of bed, slowly put my white shirt, my jeans, and my bright blue jacket on-that I had laid on the dresser-body and put on my shoes. I walked even slower to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. Then sprinted towards the door, grabbed my back pack and shut the door behind me. I walked over to my truck and pulled out the keys of my back pack. I unlocked the door, got in, and my car roared to life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Page Break) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I parked and got out of my truck from the high school's parking lot, the first warning bell gave a loud noise. I walked not a quick pace, which I normally would have done after hearing the first warning bell. But today, I was moving as slow as a snail. How come?! I just had a lot of had thought about all the words that Dez has told me about all the crap that has happened last night: Trish moved to Denver (Lame!). Dez had been bullied by these Smile Cousins (THOSE NASTY WITCHES!). Ally not only almost died from a deep stab wound because of some A guy-Sammy Dawkins, was his name I believe- but she almost died from those stupid witches( *Grrrr! grumble grumble!* Okay, Ally's attempt of suicide was not entirely their fault; I was partially the blame, as well.) But the question-since last night's conversation with Dez did not help me get an answer-was what did I do to her that ever caused her so much pain?
By the time I made my way towards to hallway-where my locker was located-my thoughts were interrupted by two things: 1) the second warning bell-for first period- rang and 2) two fan girls' screaming surprise made me jump three inches in the air. "Oh my god! It's him Elise, it's really him! It's THE Austin Moon!" said one of the screaming girls. The other girl nodded and gave her friend a huge grin. Instead of running like I would have done many years ago, I walked right up to the two girls signed both of their binders, and gave them each a smile and a little wave. Then I left the two girls standing in the middle of the hallway.
I quickened my pace to my locker. Five minutes later, I opened my locker by twisting its combination to five, forty-nine, and thirty-eight. I lifted the tab up and started grab first period's ( US History) binder and my assigned classroom book. As I searched for the items for first period, I heard more than a pair of clicking-clacking women's high heeled shoes. The shoes, stopped their talking at a locker. I took a quick glance to my right. Nothing. I did the same thing with my left. They were three girls of-a rose colored dress girl, a sunshine yellow shirt and a matching skirt girl, and a spring green shirt and matching skirt girl-were standing two lockers away from mine.
One of the girls (sunshine yellow matching outfit) looked in my direction. I quickly looked away. She and her friends giggled and chatted about the latest gossip: me!
When I felt their eyes were moving on to something else, I moved my head just enough to have my eyes focus both on the girls' conversation and pick up my first periods' stuff.
"Macey B, did you know Austin Moon goes to our school?" asked a short-heighted, random fan girl. She wore in a simple rose colored dress. The girl to me seemed to have a height of 5' 4".
"No , like I didn't know, Macey A (rose dress girl). Like did you know, Macey M (tall and wore sunshine yellow shirt and skirt)?" Macey B said, who was the same height as Macey A, wore a an outfit that was in the same color: spring green top and skirt.
"Like totally," Macey M. giggled. "He was like supposed to have the same math class with all of us Macey's two years ago!" She stomped her foot loudly against the pale tiled floor.
The three Macey's were quite for a moment. The only noises that were present were the sounds of the lights making a buzzing noises, the quietness of people's breathing, and me "searching" for my belongings.
Then a Macey-I think Macey B- whispered to her friends. "Oh, yeah, know I remember! He was like supposed to be in Mr. Evans' trigomentry class last year. Awesomeness!" She gave loud obnoxious sigh. "Too bad he went on a European tour."
The other two Maxey's nodded their head solemnly. "That would have been awesomeness!" cooed the three girls.
The girls shrieked with joy about the old news about me being-supposedly-being in the same math class as them.
I shook my head smirked. I thought nonchalantly, Yeah it would have been cool to have you guys in the same math class. Now it is too little, too late.After ten more minutes of pretending to thoroughly search for my first period's stuff, grabbed the binder and the classroom assigned history book and trudged to Mrs. Peter's US history class, leaving the three girls squealing with joy.
As I opened the door, everyone turned at my direction gasped that I THE Austin (DAMNIT! Why. Do I. Always. Say that HORRID. Middle. Name. Of mine?!) Moon was in their class! I closed my eyes as I imagined people chanting my name multiple of times
"AUSTIN MOON!" said Mrs. Peters' shrill voice. The class snickered as I jolted back into reality."You're late. No matter, we have a spot just for you: right next to Mr. Sammy Dawkins. " Mrs. Peter pointed to seat that is up front, next to a blond guy.
I set my stuff under my seat and sat down. Hmm, I thought, his name sounds familiar. Is he the-
"Class you have the rest of the period to work in chapter 10's work. Remember, whatever is left unfinished you do at home and turn it in tomorrow. You may, " Instructed Mrs. Peters.
I glanced around the room until I found what I was looking for: a clock. Twenty minutes left, really?! I was already mad about everything; at Ally's almost deadly choice she made, Trish lived somewhere in Denver, and Dez was bullied by some snobby witches. Now school had a part of my angered list.
For the remainder of the class, I put my head down and closed my eyes. This was going to be a lllllloooooonnnngggg day. Turned out, I was right. (Well, I was partly right; I excitedly signed up for a singing competition at lunchtime!)
Ally's POV
Throughout the day, I had been thinking about lot of stuff, such as Austin's and mine fight, while working on my work and learning new stuff at school.
Speaking of Austin, I had not seen him at all today. I mean, I saw Dez, but not Mr. Rock star. Was he trying to avoid me because I told him it was partly HIS fault that I almost killed myself? Or was it something else? I hope he was not too mad at me because I did not want to lose one of my best friends over that stupid incident...
Another thing I was thinking about was the fact whether or not I should enter a singing competition that happened to be during this Friday's assembly. I thought I should because I am ready to break free from stage fright's chains, but at the same time I did not want to. Why? Because of two things: I got back from the hospital not too long ago and two I was afraid that people think I was terrible. "Remember, Ally-cat," my parents would always tell me-when I was younger and parents were still together-at night, "the only way you can conquer your fears is by facing them." I would always smile at them and say them (in my little my girl), "Okay dokie, mommy and daddy."
By the time school was over, I took a deep breath and walked slowly all the way back of the cafeteria, where I saw a list that had mostly empty lines for the singing completion for the assembly.
I stared at the list for a very long time. I grabbed my pencil out of my bag and held the pencil inches above the list as if I was modeling for students, who might want to sign up for the singing competition. Should I thought, or should I not?
And... chapter eleven is complete.Anyways, I did a reference of a TV show somewhere in this chapter. If the top five reviewers could get this right, they could be featured in any of the chapters of this story. (Author's hints: 1) the characters' catch phrase was NOT "awesomeness," it was "Scandalous. 2) the show starts with an "R.") The fives things that you have to do are quote where you think the answer(s) is/ are, say what TV show they are a reference from, what character are they are supposed to be a parody of, AND say how you want your character to be like. Fill in the blank like this:CHARACTER NAME:
