A&A
At 5:24, Dez happily walked up the front steps to Grandma Ruth's lovely, and peaceful, home. He had learned many things from the wonder that was Ruth Moon. Things that he thanks her each and every day for. He was just thankful for her, in general.
Dez wasn't like most average teenagers. Everyone knew it; including him. If he went to the teen meetings every week, it was because he belonged there. Anyone that ever went belonged there.
You see, a teen meeting was much more that just a meeting. It was more of a family reunion that occurred every week, rather than just a few times a year. Each person was different, but they learned to use those differences to their advantage.
Dez, for instance, used his so-called 'weirdness' to his advantage by making people laugh. He himself is a very joyful person so it only makes sense that he would want to make everyone else just as joyful as him. Most people were used to his crazy ways by now, but those who weren't, didn't take too long to catch on.
As for everyone else? Well, they had different talents...
A&A
At 5:32, Trish de La Rosa walked out of her house in complete bliss. For today, although late, she would be attending the teen meeting at Grandma Ruth's cozy house.
She was never on time and Grandma Ruth had grown used to it by now. At least Trish hoped so. Anyone that knew Trish well, knew that she wasn't a time person. They knew to never give her a certain time to be somewhere and actually expect her to be there by the given time. And especially not anytime before it.
Trish was a very outspoken person that told nothing but the truth. Well, when it came to how you look that day. If you want an honest opinion on what you're wearing, or how you look, go to Trish. But only if you're a person with no feelings whatsoever.
Trish's reason for going to the teen meetings was simply because her best friend went. Dustin and she had been best friends since practically birth. Their mothers had grown up together and when they each gave birth to their kids, it was settled that they, too, would be best friends.
Well, referring to Trish's reason for going, that's what she told everyone. She, however, knew that it was because she, too, loved being able to be herself around the others. At school, she acted like a diva that grew up spoiled, which she did, but she is actually really nice. She'll always be donating anything she could to charities and nurseries. Something that Ally had suggested she do.
It was actually Trish that had introduced Dustin and Ally before they went out. After she heard that they had broken up, she was scared that it would drift them apart. Ally, however, had reassured her that it was a clean breakup that they decided would've been for the best.
She just hoped that Ally would find someone that treated her as well as Dustin did...
A&A
"The life of the party is here!" Trish exclaimed as she entered the house, not even bothering to knock. It was like home after all. Everyone except for Austin shared a laugh in the kitchen. Austin just rolled his eyes as he saw Trish walking in.
Trish caught this and scoffed. "And who's this?" she asked as if he wasn't in the room. Austin raised an eyebrow. He'd only known her for less than a minute, and yet, he already disliked her. Much like how he disliked Dustin. There was a different reason for that though..
"Trish, this is Austin. He's going to be joining us today," Grandma Ruth explained. Trish nodded and eyed him inspect-fully. She had to admit that he was cute and had a great taste in clothes. The thing she didn't like, though, was his attitude. She would only be nice to him if he was nice to her. That's how it was with Trish.
"Move," Trish demanded. Austin rolled his eyes and didn't budge. "I said move," she said more hastily this time. "And why should I?" Austin retorted. Trish smirked and stepped closer. Grandma Ruth, Dustin, Dez, and Ally all waited for her to explode.
"Let me make this clear to you since you're new. We each have our own place at this table. You just so happen to be in mine. Now, I suggest you move before I make you," she threatened. Austin, sighing, leaned back in the chair. "No." And with that Trish pushed him back angrily.
Austin screamed in fear as he, along with the chair, fell back onto the cold floor. He landed with a loud 'thud' and sighed in pain. Trish stepped over him and picked up her chair and set it back in its original place. She sat down and smiled happily.
"Now, next time, sit somewhere else." Austin sat up and narrowed his eyes. "There won't be a next time," he said as he stood up angrily and walked up the stairs. Dez, oblivious as always, sat down in the seat next to Trish with Dustin right behind him.
"So, shall we get this started?" Dustin asked as he sat down next to Dez. Grandma Ruth sighed and nodded. "Guess so," she said while making her way to the table. She was stopped by Ally who had grabbed her arm.
"Maybe I should go talk to Austin and apologize for Trish's behavior. I know she won't do it," Ally said while giving Trish a pointed glare. Trish shrugged and held her hands up in defense. "It's not my fault he took my chair. It clearly has my name on it," she defended while pointing to the left leg of the chair. It did, in fact, have her name carved on it.
"But still, Trish. You could've just sat in my seat," Ally reasoned as she looked back at Grandma Ruth. "I don't know, Ally. Austin isn't very understanding. Maybe we should just leave him alone for now and let him cool off. After the meeting you can go on up there," Grandma Ruth suggested. Ally nodded in agreement and walked over to her seat on the other side of Trish.
A&A
As the the 4 teens and 1 elder discussed how they've been doing in the past week, Austin didn't understand why people here didn't fall at his feet once they saw him. Back in Boston, everyone knew who he was. Mostly because his father was a very successful lawyer there.
Being alone in his room gave him time to think about many things. One of those 'things' was actually a 'who', and that 'who' was Ally. Ally Dawson, the girl that would soon make him realize something he had never thought about...
She was very sweet; that he knew very well. She was also really shy, but confident at the same time. To you, it may be confusing, but to him, it was clearer than water.
She was beautiful.
A&A
As Austin drowned in his thoughts an hour later, Dez, Trish, and Dustin said their goodbyes to Ally and Grandma Ruth before walking out together. Usually, after every teen meeting, they would all go out for dinner, but since Austin probably wasn't in the best mood they decided to go another day.
"Alright, Ally, you can go on up there. You don't have to, though," Grandma Ruth said earnestly. Ally smiled. "I'll be fine, Grandma Ruth. He just needs a friend, and I plan on being that friend," Ally responded.
"Okay. Is it okay if I to the store for some groceries?" Grandma Ruth asked. Ally nodded and smiled. "Yes. Will you need any help?" she asked. Grandma Ruth shook her head and grabbed her car keys. "Thanks, Ally dear, but I can handle it. If I need any help, I'll call Dez or Dustin. See you later," she said while walking out the door.
Ally smiled and sighed nervously. "Well, here I go," she muttered while walking up the stairs.
A&A
Knock Knock
Austin sat up his bed and faced the door. "Who is it?" he asked while sighing. He figured that it was Trish coming to apologize for her actions earlier. "Austin, it's Ally." He heard Ally say happily. He jumped off the bed and ran to the door.
He fixed his hair in the mirror and opened the door casually. "Hey," Ally said as he opened the door. She was standing there, looking all cute and innocent. "Hey," Austin replied.
"Uhh, are you mad?" Ally asked, smile fading. Austin shook his head slowly. Looking at Ally now, he couldn't be mad. He just couldn't. "Not really. Trish or whatever her name is, is mean though. She's very egotistical," he said while letting Ally into his room.
"Well," started Ally slowly, "not to be mean or anything, but isn't that how you act? You walk around and think you're so great, Austin. And honestly, you're not any better than Trish," she finished while sitting on the edge of his bed. Austin sat next to her and nodded.
"I guess you're right, but-" Ally cut him off by holding her hand up. "No but's, Austin. Around here, we're mostly all close. Trish is a bit over-the-top sometimes, but she's really sweet as long as you're nice to her. If she, in any way, feels threatened, she'll deal with it in her own way. As you learned the hard way," Ally said before laughing.
Austin glared playfully at her but smiled shortly after. "It's not funny. It hurt," he said before crossing his arms and pouting. Ally laughed louder and fell back on his bed. Austin did the same and they lay side-by-side, staring at the ceiling.
"Ally," Austin started, "are you and Dustin you know...a thing?" he asked while glancing at her quickly. Ally laughed and shook her head. "Used to be, but not anymore. Why?" she asked while facing him. He shook his head dismissively. "Just wondering. You seem really close to him, so I figured he was your boyfriend or something," Austin said. He was partially being honest.
He actually just didn't want to have competition, but he just had to figure it out himself.
Okay, so how was it? I feel really good about this chapter for some reason. I don't know; maybe it's just me. :) Please review, and tell me what you thought. Be honest, but not too harsh either.
