Chapter 4, Austin's POV:
I wake on Saturday morning feeling exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night; I couldn't stop thinking about...Ally. She's my best friend and songwriter. Things between us have always been normal. We're just friends. But lately – especially last night – I've felt nervous around her. Maybe it was just all the excitement of the performance, I don't know. I don't like it.
I decide to just push these thoughts aside and move on. I get up, take a quick shower, and put on the usual skinny jeans and v-neck shirt. I walk out to door and head to Sonic Boom without even bothering to tell my parents where I'm going.
When I arrive, I see that Ally is talking to Dallas at the counter.
They're laughing and smiling at each other. Ugh. Isn't he supposed to be at the "Libarry?" Ha-ha.
Dallas finally leaves, so I walk into the store,
"Hey Ally. What did Dallas want?" I say.
"Oh, he just wanted to know if I could study with him at the library.
He needs tutoring in Algebra." Ally says.
"Is he still saying "Libarry?"
"Yes, but it's cute when he says it."
It's cute when he says it? Well, if it's cute when he says it, then it must be really cute when I say it.
"Libarry! Libarry! Libarry!" I yell obnoxiously.
Ally cringes, "Stop it Austin! You know that irritates me!"
"Well, you said it was cute when Dallas said it, so I figured it must be even cuter when I say it."
Ally laughs, "You wish!" She says.
Trish walks in with her hands behind her back,
"Guess who got a job at Nancy's Nails?!" She says.
"You?" I say.
"Yes! They have these awesome fake nails!" She pulls her hands out from behind her back to reveal some very long claw-like nails.
"Whoa! I'd clip those before you poke someone's eye out!" I exclaim.
"Oh, like this?" Trish says as she starts to claw her hands at me. I scream a quick high-pitched scream and jump behind the counter. They're both laughing at me now. How embarrassing.
"Wow, Austin, you scream like a little girl!" Trish says as she laughs with Ally.
Great, now Ally is going to think I'm some pathetic wimp. Wait…Why do I care about what Ally thinks?
"I do NOT!" I say.
"Yes, you do."
"No, I don't"
"De-ni-al."
"Whatever."
Ok, so maybe I do scream like a girl. But who cares? I'm sure it's probably attractive when I do it.
"So Ally, any new song ideas?" I say.
"No Austin, I'm sorry. I just haven't been able to come up with anything lately."
"Ok, then let's go somewhere! Do something fun! Maybe you'll be inspired my something…"
"Ok, but where?"
"Um…Some kid at school is having a part tonight at 7:00-10:00, how about we go to that?"
"Sure, that's fine with me."
"Ok, I'll pick you up 6:45!" She smiles at me. Oh no, here comes that feeling again. I'm going to have to make up an excuse to leave.
"Uh, I got to go Ally, I, uh, told Dez I'd meet him somewhere."
I run off before giving her a chance to respond. Well that probably looked suspicious…
I'm sitting in my room, messin' around my guitar, when suddenly I feel like I've forgotten something. What was it? I look over at the clock and see that it's 6:43, and that's when it hits me. I have to pick Ally up and bring her to the party! I'm not even ready to go! I run to the bathroom and fix my hair with some gel, through on a jacket, and run outside. Wait, I don't have my key! I run back inside and run over to the hook where they always hang, but they're not there! I search frantically for them. I stop to text Ally: "I might b there a little late. Srry."
Where are they? I'm about to call my mom about it when I realize that they've been in my pocket the whole time. Nice.
I get into the car and drive over to Ally's house. She's sitting on the front porch, writing in her book. I roll down the window,
"Ally!" I yell.
She looks up, smiles, and starts running toward the car. She wearing light blue skinny jeans and a simple shirt. It looks really cute…
"Hey" She says as she gets into the passenger seat.
"Sorry I'm late."
"It's fine."
The whole drive there is pretty silent. I try to start a conversation, but nothing comes up.
We're here now. The awkwardness is over! The sight we see when we get inside is pretty disappointing. Everyone is kind of just sitting around. What kind of party is this?
"From a scale of 1 to 10, I'd say this party gets a zero." I whisper to Ally.
"Agreed. This party needs a hero." She says.
We both look at each other. It looks like we already have a song idea. That was fast.
"I can be that hero." I say as I walk over to Garry, who is the host of this party.
"Hey Bro, this party is kind of dull right now…Do you mind if I perform a song? It'll be much more fun with some music!" I say.
'That'd be great!" He says.
"Do you guys have any instruments?"
"Yeah, I have a guitar in my room. I'll go grab it for you."
Garry returns shortly with the guitar and hands it to me.
"Hey everybody! I'm Austin Moon, and I'm going to perform a song for you guys!"
There's no stage here, so I take everyone outside.
"What song should I perform first?" I ask Ally.
"How about 'Heard it On the Radio?' That seems to be a fan favorite."
"Ok" I say.
"Let's get this party started! This song is called 'Heard it On the Radio!'" I yell to the crowd.
Boy, do I love performing. Dancing around the stage, getting into the crowd, people yelling my name! What could be better?
At the end of the day, I've sung a bunch of songs, some written by Ally, some not.
I'm soooo tired!
"I'm exhausted, but I had a ton of fun. How about you?" I say to Ally on the drive back.
"It was great! Thanks for taking me, Austin." She says.
"No problem." I smile at her, and she smiles back. Once again, I get the churning. I'm starting to get used to it now.
Ally and I continue talking about the party, and about the song idea. I can't wait to get writing tomorrow! We already think we have the first line:
Hey, where my people at?
How come y'all ain't moving yet?
Your party is a zero, your party needs a hero.
I can't wait to see how this song turns out.
That's Chapter 4! Hope you guys like it. :)
