I don't own Austin and Ally.
Chapter 8, Austin's POV:
"Hey Ally!"
Ally turns around and smiles as Dallas comes up to her,
"Will you eat lunch with me and some of my friends?" he says.
"Uh…Sure! Of course! Why not?" Ally says kind of awkwardly.
Trish smiles and gives Ally a nudge forward.
Ally is ditching me for Dallas! I watch them carefully as I plate my food, not paying attention to what I'm doing. Now the lunch lady is yelling at me for making a mess, but I don't care. I'm just so…angry! Who does Dallas think he is? Ally was going to sit with me! What an evil…gutless…rat! Evil gutless rat? Where'd that come from?
I walk over to where Trish and Dez are sitting and sit down right across from them.
They're talking about Ally,
"This is so great! Maybe Ally will finally ask him to the Sadie Hawkins' Dance!" Trish says.
Ah, the Sadie Hawkins dance. The girls ask the guys. I've had a couple of girls ask me, but I haven't decided on who to go with yet.
"Why would she want to go out with him anyway? He says "Libarry" instead of "Library" and he stinks at Algebra." I say.
"Who cares! He's cute."
"He sure is," Dez says as me and Trish shoot him a strange look.
Dez and Trish start to talk about other things as I stare over to where Ally is sitting with Dallas. They're both laughing and smiling, and she looks so happy. It makes me really angry, 'cuz she looks happier than she ever did when she was with me. I really need to snap out of this! I can't be acting like this when Cassidy gets back in 2 weeks.
"AUSTIN!" Dez yells into my ear, nearly giving me a heart attack.
"What?!" I say.
"You were staring at Ally again," he says as Trish nods in agreement.
"No I wasn't!" I say.
"I'm sorry Austin, but Dez is right. You were totally just staring at her. Dez told about when you did it before." Trish says.
"Seriously Dez?" I say.
"Yes, Austin, seriously," he says.
"So Austin, what's up with that?" Trish asks.
"I don't know!"
Trish leans in closer and whispers, "Do you like her?"
"No! I'm just…I'm just annoyed because I don't think Dallas is trustworthy."
"So you think he's going to hurt Ally?"
"Yeah, and if he does, I'll make him regret it."
"Austin, you need to relax. Dallas is a nice guy! I doubt he'll do anything to hurt her."
"Sure he won't."
After lunch I have creative writing with Dez and Trish. Ally is in an advanced writing class, of course.
Once again, I'm not paying attention to anything the teacher is saying. I'm having a daydream about random stuff, most of them having to do with Ally. Suddenly I imagine her asking me to the Sadie Hawkins' dance…wait what? Why am I imagining that?
Think about something else, Austin. Think about…Cassidy! Cassidy is who I should be thinking of, not Ally.
The bell rings, ending my daydream. I have gym next, and the guys change in the boys' locker room. It smell really sweaty and gross in there, so I usually hide and change in the janitor's closet instead while he stands guard. Yup, Janitor Joe and I are pretty tight.
I say thanks to Joe and head to the gym.
When we get into the gym, Coach Toot has us all sit at mid court. He has us just call him "Coach T" because whenever we call him by his real name, we start giggling. One time he sent me to the principles office because I accidentally said it.
"Ok guys, today we're playing…flag football!" Coach T says as everyone let's out a cheer.
"Ok, let's pick team captains…Let's do…Austin and Dallas." What are the chances he would choose me and Dallas as team captains?
We all head outside to the football field and get the flags.
I'm first team captain, and, of course, I choose Dez. In the end, the teams looking pretty equal.
Dallas' team gets the ball first, so we're on defense. We don't do kick-offs, instead we do automatic touchbacks, so they start at the 20 yard line.
Dallas is QB, and I'm playing Line Backer. I'm supposed to play zone, but I really want to crush Dallas right now. So when the ball snaps, I blitz. Remember, we're playing flag football, not tackle. I got so caught up in my sudden anger, I sort of…forgot. I run right through the O-line and drill Dallas.
"MOON!" Coach T says as the other guys surround Dallas. "THIS IS FLAG FOOTBALL, NOT TACKLE! HE HAS NO PADDING, YOU COULD HAVE SERIOSULY INJURED HIM! GO TO THE PRINCIPLE'S OFFICE A.S.A.P.!"
"Ok sir…" I say as I hang my head down and walk back toward the Principle's office..
I can't believe I just did that! Ally is going to be sooooo mad when she finds out!
After getting an earful form the Principle, I'm told to sit in the waiting room until my mom comes. Great, now he's going to talk to my mom. Now she's going to be REALLY mad! I think I just murdered myself at least 3 times in my head.
My mom arrives and goes into the office looking very upset. I feel like it has been 3 hours before she comes out. She gestures for me to come with her, and we walk to the car in silence. She finally speaks up when we get into the car,
"I only want to know one thing: Why?" she says.
"I…don't know. I just got angry, and I guess I let it out on him….is he ok?" I ask.
"Yes, he'll be fine. What were you angry about?"
"It's…complicated."
"C'mon honey, you can tell me!"
"No mom, I can't!" I yell.
We drive the rest of the way home in silence. As soon as we're inside, I run to my room and dive onto my bed. Suddenly I hear my phone ring. It's Ally.
"I can explain," I say as I hit answer.
"Explain what?" she says.
"Why I hit Dallas…?"
"You WHAT?!"
I guess she didn't know yet.
"I'm really sorry! I just forgot it was flag football, and I tackled him hard! He's ok though!" I say.
"You just 'forgot?' Austin, he has no padding! You could've injured him badly!"
"I know! And I'm so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so ,so, so, so, so, so sorry! Please forgive me?"
"Don't say sorry to me, say sorry to Dallas."
"Ok, I will…Anyways, why did you call me?"
"I wanted to tell you that I asked Dallas to the Sadie Hawkins' dance, and he said yes!"
"Oh…that's great Ally!"
"I know! Me and Trish are going shopping tonight for the perfect dress. Do you want to join us?"
"I wish, but I'm pretty sure I'm grounded right now."
"That's too bad. Oh, my mom's calling me. See you tomorrow!"
"Ok, bye" I hear her hang up.
Now I'm starting to feel jealous. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME?!
Haha :P This is probably the funniest, most dramatic chapter yet. More to come soon! Get ready for some more drama…;) PLZ review and follow. BTW, you can also follow me on Twitter BriVanReenen.
