Ch. 36
*At School
*Austin and Ally are packing up to go home. Brooke comes up to them.
Brooke: Hey Austin. Did you get my love letter?
Austin: Yeah and I want to return it to you. You know we're not together anymore. So please stop.
Brooke: Come on Blondie, you can do so much better than the girl you're with now.
Ally:(slightly irritated) Um..The girl has a name and she can hear you.
Brooke: Whatever you little ugly troll!
Austin: Don't you ever speak to Ally like that and nobody is allowed to call me blondie but her. I'm being as nice as I can Brooke. Please stop with the love letters. Let's go Ally.
*They hold hands and walk away. Leaving a very angry Brooke.
*Later at Sonic Boom Ally is updating the school news blog when she notices unusual pictures of Austin. It's his school picture but his head is cropped on doll dresses. Austin comes in and sees Ally staring at the screen.
Austin: What are you looking at?
Ally: A very disturbing picture and you're in it.
*Austin looks at the screen and his eyes widen in shock
Austin: What happened to my school picture?! How did it get on the website and what am I wearing?!
Ally: Somebody must've taken your picture from the yearbook and posted it on the website. I'll just delete it.
Austin: Wait, we need to find out who did this. We can print the picture out and show it to an adult.
Ally: Good idea. I'll print it out.
Austin: You want to go see a movie?
Ally: Sure.
*The next day Brooke hacks into Austin's phone and sends mean texts to Ally. She secretly follows them around to see what they're talking about.
*Ally reads a response from a text she sent to Austin. She asked him about having picnic in the park while watching a movie. The response wasn't what she expected so she goes to Austin's house to figure out what's happening.
*Ally arrives at Austin's house. She knocks on the door. Austin opens it and happily greets her.
*He's dressed in a white tank top and has gloves and safety goggles on. His sweaty body makes it awkward for hug so he just kisses her cheek
Ally: Can you explain this text you sent me? Why are you dressed like construction worker?
Austin: What text?
Ally: I sent you a text asking if you wanted to have a picnic in the park to watch a movie tonight. Your response was No! Leave me alone. I hate picnics.
Austin: I never sent that. I haven't looked at my phone all day. I've been working on a important project. That's why I'm dressed like this
Ally: I figured this is something you'd never say. Where's your phone?
Austin: In my room. Sorry I didn't respond. I just didn't want to be distracted. I'll go get it. *Runs upstairs
*Ally waits on the couch. Austin comes back down.
Austin: The mean text I sent u told me I sent u is in my phone. That's impossible I haven't touched it all day.
Ally: Somebody hacked into your phone then. Who would do that?
Austin: I'm freaking out. First the creepy picture on the fan page now the mean text. What's going on?
Ally: Ok. Calm down. We just have to figure out who's doing this. You need to keep that text for evidence. You have a lock code on it?
Austin: Yeah.
Ally: Good. I can't think of who would do this. The pictures on the website would have to be posted by someone who goes to our school. They would need access to the yearbook. The texts would be by some tech kid.
Austin: Chuck?
Ally: No. He likes your music surprisingly. He and Dez are friends now.
*Austin and Ally think hard for a minute and realize who it is.
Austin and Ally: Brooke!
Ally: She's crazy. She'll do anything to break us up and get you.
Austin: How on earth did she get into my phone and post those pictures?
Ally: I don't know but we need to stop her.
Austin: It's getting late and it raining outside. We can confront her tomorrow.
Ally: That means no picnic in the park with a movie.
Austin: We can have a picnic/movie date here in the living room. I'll take you home when we're done. I'd feel better if you didn't walk home in the dark and cold rain. She could be lurking anywhere. Even though you live across the street. You dad knows you're here and he's knows you're safe here.
Ally: Sounds like a plan. Where's your parents?
Austin: At the mattress store. They're having a special event for their new sale. They'll be home late.
Ally: Ok. What special project were you working on anyway?
Austin: I'll show you.
*Goes to garage and comes out holding something under a sheet.
Ally: What is it?
Austin: Take off the sheet.
*Ally uncovers the sheet and sees a pink glittery guitar. It's well made.
Ally: It's beautiful.
Austin: It's for you. It took me all day to make. My dad helped me. I painted it. Try it out.
*Ally takes the guitar and strums the strings. The tune comes out beautifully.
Ally: It's perfect. Thank you.
Austin: I put something on the edge.
*Ally reads it. It says Allybear. There's a small heart by the name.
Ally: Thank you. It's wonderful. That's so thoughtful of you. *kisses his cheek
Austin: You're welcome. I'm starving. I'll make us some grilled cheese sandwiches. We'll have picnic on the living room floor and watch a romantic movie.
Ally: How about Romeo and Juliet?
Austin: Perfect. First I should probably take a shower *Ally gives him a thumbs up agreeing with him.
*After coming back down he makes the sandwiches and the spread out a blanket on the floor. They watch the movie. *The loud tunder startles Ally. She sees a shadow outside the window when lighting strikes.
Ally: Did you see that?
Austin: See what?
Ally: I thought I saw a person's shadow outside the window. You don't think it's Brooke do you?
Austin: I don't think so. If she knew where I live I would nightmares for weeks. I'm sure it was nothing.
Ally:(worried) I'm freaking out Austin. She'll stop at nothing to get you. I'm the only thing in her way. She'll get rid of me to get to you.
Austin: As long as you're with me I'll let nothing happen to you. I promise. You're safe. Nobody will ever hurt you. *Hugs her tight. She calms down and rests her head on his shoulder. *When the movie ends she eventually falls asleep and Austin smiles and wa After a while Austin's parents come home.
