Chapter 10
Ally POV
"Are you coming to the game?" I asked Trish.
"Yeah, why do you sound surprise?" she asked me.
"Because you hate basketball and besides you have never been to any of the games," I said honestly. Trish hates basketball or anything that has to do with sport, matter of fact all she likes about sport is the men.
"Well I thought it would be nice to show some school spirit," she said. School spirit my ass, more like Matt spirit.
"Okay, I'll meet you after class so we can ride together," I said as I walked to my class. I know there is something up between Matt and Trish, but I haven't had time to investigate. I sit I class and notice that Queen B isn't in class, she probably already left since the game is Away and she is cheer caption of the cheerleading squad. The guys left already therefore I didn't even get the chance to wish them good luck.
I take my phone out and text them good luck. Matt texted me back saying thank you, but Austin didn't reply, he is probably driving since they took his car.
I meet Trish at her car. "So should we go home and change into something more weather friendly?" she asked.
We should go change because we are going to be sitting under the sun for a while.
"Yeah but fast," I said.
I change into black shorts that hug my ass just right and into a white shirt that has Matt's uniform number on front and Austin's on the back. I tie my hair in a perfect pony tail and took my sunglasses as I walked out.
"Come on we are going to be late," I hear Trish yell from downstairs.
I laugh as I went downstairs and get in the car, wait did she just rushed me to go to a basketball game?
"So what's up with Austin," she asked while she was driving.
"He has something to tell me, but I have no idea what it is about," I admitted to Trish.
"Maybe he is going to confess his love for you and then end up in a kiss," she said as I laugh. Yeah right as if he loves me!
I turned up the radio when I hear my favourite song playing – You belong with me by Taylor Swift. It has so much meaning for me, every word describe my situation with Austin.
I know I'm in love with Austin, but is it enough to take the next step and be in a relationship? I asked Rita how I would know if I was ready to take that step and her answer was that my heart and soul would lead the way, I wonder what she meant by that?
All I know is that whoever it is, I have to be certain that he is worth it. We walked over to the bench and look for a seat, the game is about to start. I see Austin and Matt warming up and I can't keep my eyes off Austin's body. I review him from head to toe and I can see his muscles stretching. As I looked up I see him staring at me and smiling. I give him a lame wave – a wave really? I'm such a loser!
The game starts and I started to get nervous. The opposite team scores already and we are losing.
"Come on boys, it's still early, we got this," I yelled to them. I see Austin's and Matt's face and I can tell by their expressions that they are pissed.
With only five minutes left of the first half Matt pass the ball to Ethan, Ethan passed the ball to Dez. Dez looks to his right and see Austin is wide open so he passes the ball to him. Austin runs with the ball, he shoots the ball up in the air and into the net.
Trish and I both started to cheer. The score is now even. "This game is going to kill me," I said to Trish.
"I know what you mean, I had no idea basketball would be so intense," she admitted. I look down at her hands and realized she has eaten all her finger nails.
"Looks like you are going to need a manicure," I said to her pointing at her hands. She looks down. "Yeah looks like it, I didn't even notice I was doing it," she said looking at her nails.
The second half starts and ten minutes into the game Dallas gets a yellow card for playing dirty.
"Damn if he gets another yellow card, he is going to leave the team," I said to Trish. She just nodded at me.
Dallas has the ball and Matt is to his right wide open.
"I'm open, pass it," Matt yells. Dallas looks at him, but doesn't pass the ball, instead he runs with it and shoots, but the ball misses the net.
"Damnit," I yelled. If he would have passed it then maybe it would have gone in.
"What an asshole, he prefers to miss the goal instead of passing it to Matt," Trish yelled, clearly she is mad about it. I never seen her acting like this.
Twenty minutes left of the game and Austin has the ball, he runs with it and passes it to Matt. Matt shoots the ball into the air and he scores. I turned around and hug Trish, we both jump up and down as we scream. The rest of the game was nerve wrecking, but we manage to survive until the referee blows his whistle and its official, we are in the final! All the guys run into the field and form a big circle while they jump. Trish and I run onto the field and I run into Matt's arms.
"We made it, we are in the final Matt," I yelled at him as he spins me around.
"I know munchkin," he said as he puts me down and hugs Trish.
"Thanks for coming," he said to her. I laugh as I think school spirit my ass. I look around for Austin, but can't find him. Then I see him talking to Cassidy. My hands starts to sweat. I feel my body heating up and I can tell my ears are red because I can feel them burning. I watch as they talk, his back is facing me and all I can see is that bitch's face. She locks eyes with me and she throws her arms around his neck and kisses him. I felt like my blood exploded. I turned around and walk away trying my best not to cry.
I feel stupid, how could I even think that something was growing between me and Austin? How can I be so stupid to think that this makeover was going to make a difference? I can feel my heart breaking by the second. I rush through the people in the field and then I feel someone grab me. I turned around ready to punch the asshole that stop me and see it was Dallas. I pull my arm out of his hold.
"What?" I hissed.
"I just wanted to know if you are coming to my party tomorrow," he asked. I open my mouth to say no, but then I saw Austin staring at us.
"Of course I'm going, wouldn't miss it for the world," I said looking at Austin for a second.
"Great, see you there," he said as he gives me a hug. I walked away and spotted Trish.
"Let's go," I tugged her away from the people.
Austin POV
The game ended, I looked around for Ally, but instead I see Cassidy walking towards me.
"Congrats babe," she said smiling.
"Thanks, but I'm not your babe and now that I have you here, I want to talk to you about something," I said as I pull her to the side.
"Whatever we had is in the past, we can be friends if you want, but only that," I said to her.
"Is it because of that thing?" she asked me raising an eyebrow and putting her left hand on her hips.
"Her name is Ally and yes, it's because of her," I said to her.
"You are leaving me for her? She isn't even pretty, only because she wears makeup and change the way she dresses doesn't make her better than me. She is still that nasty tomboy of a nerd," she yelled at me throwing her arms up in the air.
'That 'tomboy of a nerd' as you call her is a million times prettier than you and more than a woman that you would ever be. Oh and one more thing, back off don't underestimate Ally due to her height she can kick some serious ass," I said to her feeling proud of what I just said to Cassidy.
"Whatever," she said to me. As I was about to walk away, she jumps up and wrap her arms around my neck and gives me a kiss.
"What the hell?" I yelled as I push her off.
"It's a goodbye kiss," she said with a smile.
"I hope you enjoy that because that was the last time you would ever taste my lips," I said as I turned around and see Ally walking away. Oh no, I hope she didn't see what Cassidy did, I waked faster to catch up to her and then I see Dallas grabs her. As I'm making my way to them Matt steps in my way.
"Stop," he said.
"What do you mean stop, don't you see that?" I pointed to Dallas.
"Yeah, but I also saw you and Cassidy kissing, so I advise you to leave Ally alone. I can kill that asshole in a heartbeat, but I don't want to kill my brother," he said to me.
I shove him and looked for Ally, but it was too late, she was already gone.
