Chapter 8: Unrequited Feelings and the DownFALL

No-One's P.O.V.

"You know what really sucks about this? I didn't want this any of this. I fucking like you, no screw it, I LOVE you."

What a déjà vu moment.

There Austin, you wanted to know what my problem is...you wanna know why I tripped Cassidy? I did it so that- so that," Ally sighed, frustrated. "So that she wouldn't take you away from me, it's all out on the table now. I'm in love with you, okay?"

A few hours ago…

Now, many in Marino High knew that Cassidy was the school's slut, even if they didn't want to say it. Dating a boy for like 1 hour then fucking them was her best time. Ally was just blinded by her 'niceness', which turned out to be fake, for popularity purposes.

A hoax.

Whatever.

But Cassidy figured she would never get her point across, if she was on a smaller group with a small amount of boys to fuck and run. Cass kept this a secret, doing it after school, using a fake excuse like:

"I have to go to work,"

"I gotta go practice with my band tonight!"

"Sleepover at Wendy's house!"

At this camp, she noticed, there was one guy she hadn't met before. A beach blonde, tall guy, who was currently running over to some kids, with-

Cassidy fumed.

A to the L to the L Y.

Ally Marie Dawson.

Cassidy P.O.V

What the hell was she doing with that hottie?

Why couldn't I be partnered up with him?

That stupid little bitch Ally.

I WILL take him away from her, if it's the last think I fucking do.

I go to my cabin to change to my 'slutty' clothes, a blue tank top, short shorts, high heels –because I know they piss Ally off for some reason- and take my hairpin out so that my long, blonde hair flows out behind me. I get my hand mirror from my pocket, extend my arm and admire the image I see.

I look HOT.

As I march out of the cabin, I feel a shiver run down my back, walking to the shore of Lake Clenswather.

Ally P.O.V.

I stand there laughing with the kids for canoeing when Austin gets some seaweed in his hair.

"It was just seaweed! No big deal!"

"No big deal?!" Asked 9-year-old Ange incredulously, stopping for breath after laughing so hard. "You were eating some of it, Mister Austin!"

"Hey! I just wanted to see if it tasted good like in those sushi shops!" Austin says defensively, pouting like a child.

"Tasted good? Are you seri- BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" I laughed violently, holding onto his shoulder for some sort of thing to hold on to so that I wouldn't fall (not to mention die) from my place.

"You're a meanie poo poo. I'm leaving you." The blonde stomped away from me childishly, sticking out his bottom lip resulting a few giggles from the crowd of kids we befriended. I wiped a laughing tear from my eye, but just as I did, I heard the familiar click-clack of heels. I gritted my teeth. I HATE heels.

You know the fuck why.

"Hi, can you show me something around this place? I can't find someone as attractive as YOU." Someone I remember vaguely flirts to Austin cornily. I turn to see who it is, because I would definitely mock them for how stupid they sound, and-

My thoughts are interrupted when I see their face…

And clothes.

"Cassidy?" I ask, But she just ignores me and walks up to my counsellor partner.

Her clothes are so... slutty.

I mean, she would NEVER wear clothes like that, would she?

I rub my eyes to do a double-take (Mestie/N: Don't use the song reference, don't use the song reference, don't use the song reference…) to finally realise it IS her.

Cassidy's wearing WAY too short shorts, which show her –I practically shield my eyes- underwear, some high heels, and a shirt that barely covers her tits.

I mean, seriously, it is SO cold outside today, and she decides to wear clothes like it's summer.

I saw Austin give her a confused look, since; obviously, she had been one of us to bully him, but his expression melts to a cool, collected position. "Thanks, honey. It might be a lengthy process though, since we're both gonna need some… assistance."

Okay, this is gross enough.

What happened to the- "We don't have chemistry." Cassidy, huh?

I roll my eyes. Yeah, so responsible to just leave the kids drown while you two get it on, I think ssarcastically to the two who were currently flirting their asses off. They are SO try-harding too hard. I then turn to the kids, who are wearing disgusted expressions which mirrored mine perfectly.

These kids are too smart for their own good, since I had learnt about that when I was 12.

I've officially timed this - the two 'lovebirds' have been flirting for the last 15 minutes and 42 seconds! My face burned in fury.

This is it, I've had enough.

I whistle innocently, moving my feet on the side in the direction of Austin and Cassidy.

Three more steps.

Two more steps.

One more step.

"Listen, we should hang out more, lovely. I really enjoyed this 'talk'-"

Cassidy's about to lean in and kiss Austin when a loud splash is heard.

I swing my leg around the girl's leg, resulting in a sharp scream and fall, when I realise what I've done.

Oh wait, no I haven't!

When the girl's head pops back up from the water, I sigh in relief as she splutters water everywhere from her mouth.

Her face and clothes are a total wreck, her mascara and eyeliner tearing down her face, smudging with her blush and concealer. Her pimples are revealed, plus, she looks like a deformed clown. But her pieces of cloth she calls 'things I can wear' are filled with water. Okay, maybe she looks like a deformed clown AND a drowned rat.

Where the hell did my attitude come from?

She didn't do anything to me and was just talking to Austin.

*ahem* JEALOUSLY *ahem*, my Brain Ally says to me.

Jealously? Where the fuck did you get that from?

Well, maybe you didn't like how Cass got the attention, nevertheless the look.

You mean S-L-U-T-T-Y?

Aha! I have it! The Brain Ally screams in triumph. You hate it how he flirted with her and not YOU, Ally. I mean, seriously, she has the right to have an interest in Austin!

Well, it looks like a conquest to me. Honestly, she is try-harding for him to like her, wearing miniscule clothes like that!

Who are you, Cassidy's mother?

No, I'm just saying-

I'm just saying. Brain Ally mocks my voice in a high pitch tone.

I roll my eyes. Yeah, real mature, Brian Me. Now get out of here.

There.

I come back to where I was, and I feel like shit.

Oh, god, now I'm speaking to myself!

Anyway…

Cassidy waves her arms everywhere, obviously not knowing how to swim while spitting out Clenswather lakewater. The kids wrinkle their noses, but they heave the unknowingly heavy girl to the dock. As I scan the scene, I can hear one of the kids from our group, who I call Shrimp (his real name is Jordan, but he's so small, and cute!) 'whisper' loudly into Austin's ear.

"Wow, counsellor Austin, you know for Cassidy supposedly being a "babe" as you put it, she sure looks like a hot mess without makeup." That makes the group –excluding Austin- laugh quietly.

No-One's P.O.V.

Austin grabs Ally by the arm and pull her to a secluded area in complete disbelief. He saw what she did.

"Hey Alls," the blonde says, gritting his teeth together. "Mind to explain the little incident there? Huh?"

The short brunette shrugs his hand off her arm, putting her hand out like a stereotypical girly girl, batting her eyelashes. "Oh, I have no idea what you're talking about, Austin."

She drops the act and responds, deadpanning. "You know, since we're supposed to be supervising our group of kids and not talking to anyone else in the interim."

Hmm, that had never occurred to Austin until that moment.

"We're responsible for their safety you know, what if something happened in the lake and they got a cramp in their leg and couldn't swim like your new girlfriend? I would've had to be the one to go in after them since you were playing lifeguard with PMMC's newest bitch Barbie. God Austin, why don't you go save your damsel in distress and give her mouth-to mouth for an opportunity to kiss since I interrupted last time?" Okay, after that speech, she could feel tears welling up in her eyes, marking another rare moment.

But why?

Why couldn't she just let him go like the others?

Why the hell was he so different?

All of these questions were too much for Ally, so she turned on her heel to leave, when the blonde grabbed her wrist and pulled her back to him.

Austin lifted Ally's chin and looked into her eyes, brown into brown.

"This conversation is NOT over, Alls-"

The brunette slaps his hand off of her and cuts him off. "Yes, it fucking is, Austin. Someone needs to pay attention to our group and it's obviously not going to be you." Ally walks away leaving Austin completely confused, rejected and pissed off, for the second or third time in his life.

He sighed loudly as the girl walked away, and started to follow her, when someone else grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him around roughly.

Yep. Cassidy.

The soaking wet blonde talks to him in a 'sexy' voice. "Oh Austin, I'm so embarrassed. I can't believe what just happened. I'm really upset, how about you and I hang out later and you make it up to me in my cabin?" She ends her question by whispering in his ear, sending a shiver down his spine, finds himself wishing it was Ally instead.

Austin P.O.V.

Wait, what? I think to myself. Why am I thinking of Ally when I have the gorgeous Cassidy standing right in front of me…

completely wet from falling into the lake.

Yeah, her hair was dripping onto my clothes. She smelt no longer like fresh flowers, but instead saltwater and seaweed.

Ugh, fishy.

I quickly recover to see that Cassidy is still trying to get myattention, " Cassidy, I gotta go. You should go take a shower and dry yourself off, I'll see you at dinner." I really had to go catch up with Ally.

Continuing the heavy flirting, "Austin, I have a better idea. Why don't you come take a shower with me?" I gulp, I'm really not used to anyone being so forward well except for Ally.

Wait.

WHAT?!

I cover my worry with a response to Cassidy.

"I-I-I, well see ya!" I run off praying that Ally and the kids are still where I left them by the lake. Yeah, maybe not as smooth as I thought.

No-One's P.O.V.

Cassidy saunters off frowning, wondering why the hell her charm and promiscuous behaviour isn't working like how it did on the others, a light bulb goes off, "Ally, that little ass-wiper. You may have won the first round, but whatever you and Austin have together, I will put an end to it."

Austin comes back to Ally and the group and tries to explain himself to her,but she just won't listen to a word he's saying and gives him the cold shoulder.

"Ally, I need to talk to you-"

Walks off to help a kid find her oars.

"Hey, we need to discuss this-"

Turns away to find her schedule.

Ally checks the clock nearby on one of the trees (don't ask), "Alright kids, we're done canoeing for the day, come on in with your boats. It's time for you guys to go and get ready for dinner." Austin looks at the clock and realizes that Cassidy deterred him for at least a half hour, so he's sure that Ally's annoyed, considering he was her friend for quite a long time before everything changed. "Ally, I-" She cuts him off with a mixture of anger, jealousy and hurt in her eyes but mostly anger, "Save it Austin! I hope you enjoy your make-out session with Malibu Barbie for the next half an hour, since I take my job seriously. Funny, I thought I was the bitch here, but you're the one that's an even bigger a dick than I am a bitch, and you don't want to know why. So, much for your whole, 'I'm not like all of the other guys speech', you're exactly like them. All you care about is getting laid. So Austin, go get yourself laid. I'm sure Bimbo in Heels will give it up to you in a heartbeat." Yep, here come the tears again, but Ally holds herself for the sake of her mantra.

She goes from bitch to sunshine in 3.5 seconds, "Alright campers! Let's start walking back to our cabins!" Ally smiles brightly, as she would rather be with the children then let Austin anywhere near her right now, as the kids giggle and scream in happiness. Austin knows that she's mad, but he chases after anyways, "Ally, wait! Can we please just talk about this while we walk back to our cabin?" Ally gets even angrier, "No Austin, get a fucking clue. I've made it pretty obvious that I don't want to be anywhere near you right now. Unfortunately, we live in the same cabin, but when we get there I'm grabbing the girls and leaving to get away from you. If you want to talk about it or go talk to someone, go talk to Cassidy."

The blonde singer doesn't know what else to do or say, because he's running out of options as he scratches the back his neck in worry, "Ally, please, I don't even know what I did wrong!" She continues to ignore him, and they finally reach the Cabin 12.1.

Mariel and Joey are just bouncing a ball around the room, when they hear the door slam open.

The girl already knows it's Austin and Ally by the voices, and the slamming is the surefire way to see that the brunette was angry. Mariel sighed, it was one of the only days she got to hang out with Joey, since Mrs Dawson kept calling her for technical difficulties every five minutes. But the girl faced the facts and stared into her boyfriend's eyes.

'Son is mad. I have to go. I'm sorry.

Joey nodded understandingly.

You go, I'll talk to Moon-boy to see what he did.

See you in a tick. I love your accent.

I love your food.

She climbed down the ladder from the bunk bed, and grabbed Ally by the wrist, pulling her out the door.

Sheesh, how many people were grabbing Ally today?!

Once the door closed, Joey looked at Austin suspiciously, raising an eyebrow.

Once Joey had been death-staring at Austin for a good thirty seconds, the blonde boy was seriously creeped out, and cracked with a, "What?"

"I know you did something, mate. Even my girlfriend knows."

"How could you tell?" Asked Austin, rubbing the back of his neck anxiously.

Joey gave Austin a look that said, 'seriously?' as he sighed, leaning against a pole for one of the bunk beds.

"Spill."

"I don't think I can explain it well…" Austin hesitated.

"Dude," Joey looked at him seriously. "If you don't fucking tell me what you did to Mai Mais's friend, I swear I will get Keer and Mariel to beat the shit out of you. It looks like you did something bad. Ally was almost crying. And she never cries."

"Fine, you win. I already know Keer is a black belt or something, nevertheless Mariel has 3 machetes, 4 daggers, 11 poison sacks to dip her weapons in and 3 shot guns. I think I would be dead by now. I'll tell you."

"Honestly, I don't even know what I did." The blonde sighed once again, face staring into the now-interesting floor.

"Ally and I were working with Cabin 4 for canoeing again. I actually got teased a bit for trying to eat some of the lake's seaweed-" Joey made a face, but chuckled under his breath. Out of the corner of the corner of his eye, Austin glared at the Brit who just shrugged in response with a faint smile playing on his lips.

"And I went away, but the next minute, one of the Girls who hated me, Cassidy I think, started talking to me as if I'm a piece of hot-ass man meat."

"Hey, that's what happens when you totally change your appearance and persona."

"What?! I did NOT change my ENTIRE appearance and persona!" Austin protested loudly, waving his arms around crazily.

"Woah, calm it, dude. I'm just saying, you've changed a lot from a few weeks ago. Your braces, suspenders and big-ass glasses are gone for some reason." The other boy counts off on his fingers.

Austin knows he's right. But he's very stubborn about that subject, but allows Joey to carry on.

"Oh, not to mention how big-headed you are, man. You talk about being hot, and awesome, and all that bullcrap. Actually, when I think about that, you only do that around Ally. What's going on between you two anyway-" Austin's had enough, so he cuts the other honors student off dismissively.

"Okay, can you just let me finish my story?" Joseph nods. Oh, well. He'll find about their 'situation' later, anyway from his beloved. Yeah, that sounded weird.

"So anyway, Cassidy was HARDCORE flirting with me, and for the fun of it, I flirted back. I think Ally got super pissed, and tripped the girl into the lake."

"Mhmm." Joey observed, like a scientist in the wild.

"But then, when I asked her why she did that, Ally went flat out ballistic on me! Not taking care of kids, responsibility, drowning, cramps, blah blah blah."

The Brit sighed disappointedly. "First off, never believe that you can actually get the truth out of girls with a, 'what's wrong?', mm'kay? I've learnt that for being with Mariel for a year."

"And?"

"Second, if she was actually telling you all that responsibility shit, I would be on her side. I mean, seriously, what IF a kid got a cramp at the lake, but oh no-" Joey does a dramatic pose with his hands. "-You are too fucking busy playing with someone's mind, making them, as Mai Mai says, jelly."

"Who the hell would be jealous?" Austin asked no-one in general.

Joey rolled his eyes, slapping the back of Austin's head, emitting a sharp, "OW!" from the other boy.

"You are so daft. Don't you see that she likes you?! You've been her friend for quite a while back, right? Haven't you noticed, whenever she wants something, she'll lie and get someone hurt. Remember the time when she wanted that crayon back in grade three, and when I asked if she wanted one of mine, Ally said no and threw an eraser at my eye?!"

Austin laughed and nodded his head briefly, reminiscing, but snapped out of it quickly.

"S-she, A-Ally Dawson, likes ME?" he stutters. "That's ridiculous."

"Is that so?" Joey asks mockingly. "Remember how she embarrassed you in front of the entire cafeteria? Why do you think she did that? Oh yeah, I know! To get your bitterly hard-to-get attention!"

"Girls do that. They say we, guys, are complicated. Actually, girls are complicated too. Absolutely twised. I guess humans in general are strange. But go with it until you die. Ally likes you, believe it or not, and you like her too."

Austin scoffs loudly. "As if! I would only like her when Dez stops having a pet kangaroo jumping around his house!"

"He got rid of it last Wednesday," Joey whispers under his breath.

"And how would you know that, anyway, that I fancy Ally?" Joey rolls his eyes at his choice of words and his stupidity.

"AHEM. You tease her about you being hot, you two hang out with eachother way too often, and it looks like you're having fun as well! You guys even sang in the bloody shower!"

The blonde blushed as hard a fire truck. How the hell did he know? And so, he voiced his thoughts.

"Let's just say that when you think you're alone, you're not." Joey smirked.

"Everyone, even the Girls, know what's going on, according to you. You said Cassidy wants you, maybe that was suddenly after she got intel that you and Ally had a something." He goes on.

"You like Ally."

Austin P.O.V.

I like Ally?

No, that couldn't be.

We tease each other too much.

We hang out too much.

And how could this happen after 4-5 years of hating each other with a fiery, burning passion?

"It's called true love, dumbass." Yeah, I should really stop doing that.

"Yep," Joey nods.

Anyway, she's too touchy.

And bossy.

And jealous. Plus, you know you like that about Ally, the Brain Austin nags from inside my head again.

Shut up.

"Look, sorry for interrupting your little dreamland, but, you know, if you actually admit to liking her, there is enough sexual tension for you guys to have, you know, hate sex." Joey jokes all the way, pushing my arm slightly.

I feel something in my head click for some reason, but I can't understand why. I shake my head, and clap Joey's shoulder as I get up, smiling briefly.

"I have to get Ally to forgive me."

As I leave the cabin, Joey yells out to me.

"Don't think with your dick!"

Mestie/N: Long enough for ya? Hope so. :P Don't worry, we'll hear about the talk between Ally and Mariel next chapter, for a bit of a spoiler. Anyway, hoped you liked this chapter, so if you did, please leave a follow or a favourite for me to brighten my cloudy day! Plus, give me a review on how you think the chapter was! I'd love to get home from school with lovely new reviews to read and –don't tell anybody- cherish. Hey, anyone who reviews gets a shoutout, remember?

Speaking of shoutouts, I decided to do it down here for a change!

To the beautiful Luckystarz910: Indeed, and I'm happy that you found it 'comical'! xD. Hopefully this was to your liking for your idea. Yeah, in this story, Austin's a bit slow, but you know he will catch up. BIATCH PERSONA PRESENTED! YOU ARE WELCOME.

MESTIE OVER AND OUT
