Austin's POV
We piled back into the car, getting comfortable for the hour and 30 minute trip. We had to use 2 cars, so me, Ross, and Dez were in one care while Trish, Ally, and Laura were in the other. Ross was texting, and Dez was eating a Banana. I turned on the radio to rid of the awkward silence between the 3 of us.
"Soo Austin," Ross spoke suspiciously.
"…Yes?" I said, obviously confused.
"What's up with you and Ally lately, seems like you got something going for her," He said grinning.
"…Yeah…" I said.
"You two gotten together yet?" he asked.
"As in boyfriend and girlfriend? No.." I responded
"Oh, so what are you trying to say here Austin?" Dez chimed in raising an eyebrow.
"…I don't know what are you trying to say?" I asked beginning to feel overwhelmed.
"You know what I mean," Dez said wiggling his eyebrows.
I thought for a moment; "Aw Noooo! We haven't done that," I shrieked.
Dez laughed and sat back in his seat, pulling his phone from his pocket.
Ally's POV
We had been doing in-car karaoke since we left the school this morning at 7:05, I was 8:15, we only had a little longer to go until we made it to Sunny Lakes. I was kind of exited to see what we were going to do there for 4 days since it probably only took 2 to examine the whole class. My phone buzzed and I grabbed it from my pocket;
1 Text Message: Dez
Austin wants to know if you're almost at SLR.
To: Dez
…No we still have about 20 minutes, what about you guys?
1 Text Message: Dez
Same here… hey do you think the bus has made it there yet?
To Dez:
Um.. Idk.
1 Text Message: Dez
I hope we make it there before the bus.
To Dez:
That's…Great I guess.
Dez:
Yeah. It is. Well, bye.
I threw my phone back in the cup holder and sat back, closing my eyes and thinking about what was going to happen this week.
We arrived at Sunny Lakes Resort 15 minutes later, the bus had made it a few minutes before we did. I began taking the bags out of the car one by one, and sitting them down next to the car. Soon everyone was present and Mrs. Sánchez began assigning us cabins.
"And, Dezemond Worthy, Patricia De La Rosa, Ross Lynch*, Laura Marano**, Ally Dawson, and Austin Moon will be in cabins 18, 19, and 20, once you all are settled in come back out so we can start our activities," she announced. Austin grabbed our bags and headed into cabin 19, sitting down the stuff once we made it in. There were 2 beds a bathroom and a couch. Just as I expected, there would be no TV or electronics, we had to give Mrs. Sánchez our phones, tablets, and video games. I sat my bag down next to a bed and began putting the stuff in drawers. Austin sat Isabella down and began unpacking also. 5 minutes later we we're ready, so we grabbed Isabella and left. We we're one of the few partners already standing out there ready for Mrs. Sánchez to announce our activity. About 5 minutes later everyone was sitting outside, twiddling their thumbs and conversing amongst themselves. soon came out with many other people pushing multiple boxes. She gave a box to each couple and then went in the middle of the circle smiling at us.
"Alright class, these are parts to a crib. Many were donated by some generous people in our school so be sure to thank the teachers when we get back. Anyway, I am going to examine how well you guys can put these together as a couple, the first one to win gets to choose the first fun activity we do today, the tools and other necessities that you will need are in the box," she explained, walking to one of the tables and sitting down. I guess that was our cue to start, so many of the couples began tearing open their boxes and retrieving the instructions. I got up and tore open the box also, retrieving the instructions and tools. Austin came beside me and looked at the parts in awe.
"I swear there are like a million pieces to this thing," he said, his mouth hanging open surprised.
"Yeah!" I agreed taking the first part out of the box. "Okay, so it says your supposed to screw this piece to this piece," I said holding them together so that Austin could place the screws in. With a few quick twists of the wrist we already had the first part of the crib done, I looked at the others for the most part, everyone was getting along, except Trish and Dez. I swear those two always found something to argue about. The first couple to finish were David and Gloria; they choose that we sat around a fire, and did…nothing. Austin and I were the second to finish though, which was actually pretty good. I walked over to Gloria to congratulate her on winning;
"Hey, good job!" I exclaimed smiling widely.
"….Thanks," she replied placing a hand on her stomach. You see, Gloria was attending this class because she was pregnant; she had taken the class last year, and decided to give it another try this year since she didn't really pay attention last year. I didn't blame her, I felt awful for her, she was young, and having a baby.
"The campfire was a great idea!" I complimented.
"..Oh thanks David and I didn't know what else to pick…Well David didn't, I got really mad and just forced him to say campfire," She replied shrugging. I giggled, gave her a quick hug, and walked away.
"Class, you can take these cribs inside your cabins now, Activity time is over, and everyone can be inside until lunch, which is 2:30," said . I looked down at my watch, it was 12:20, which meant I could go finish reading that book I had last night. I walked into the cabin and retrieved my book from the dresser. Then I lay down on my bed and opened to the page I was on. Austin came in moments later pulling the crib through the door and sitting it next to the sofa. Then he reached into his bag and got a tablet.
"Austin, how did you get that? We're not allowed to have electronics this whole trip," I said. He shrugged his shoulders, and plopped down next to me, concentrating on his game of angry birds. We sat in complete silence for moments until Isabella began to cry. I got up and took her out of the seat and rocked her until she was quiet. I decided not to sit her in the crib and leave her in my lap. I continued reading my book until 12:45 when Austin decided to whack me on the head with a pillow, remove the baby from my lap, and take the book from me.
"I downloaded a movie the other day, lets watch it," he insisted.
"Austin, I was reading," I replied.
"Yeah, but movies are based off books, so its like reading, but watching actual people act out the story," He said.
I sighed and sat up scooting closer so that I could see the screen too. He clicked on the movie The Sitter and it began. I never thought I would enjoy such a movie, with the language, and the inappropriateness, but I enjoyed it a lot actually. I couldn't keep myself from laughing the whole movie.
After the movie Austin and I headed out for lunch. We sat down at a table with David, Gloria, Trish, Dez, Ross, and Laura. We had a choice between Salad and Burgers.
"I'm really excited about this campfire guys," Dez said, stuffing a fry in his mouth.
"Why?" Austin asked.
"I have a song to sing," he replied clapping his hands together.
"…It better not be that song you were singing in the cabin earlier Dez, cause if it is I will rip off every limb on your body," Trish threatened.
"What song?... oh are you talking about the one where I was like; there's a party in my tummy, so yummy so yummy, there's a-OUCH!" he screeched as Trish grabbed hold of Dez` ear and tugged it as hard as she could.
Trish finally released Dez` ear, which was now red. "Someone switch seats with me I don't wanna sit next to the Wicked witch of the west*," said Dez earning glares from Trish. I giggled and shook my head; "Nah, I think I'm okay here Dez," I replied mockingly. He glared at me and turned to Trish, who was still glaring at him just more violently. We soon finished our meals and went outside for our next 'fun' activity.
"Alright class, you've gotten their cribs ready as a couple, now it's time to see how well we can…how do I put this,…. Be a family with them," she said.
"What I'm saying is that I want the two partners to act how they would act if they actually had this baby toghether, how would you treat it, would you fight, or would you love it like your own family loved you," she explained.
It sounded pretty easy to me, Austin and I had basically been acting like a family with Izzy since day one. So it probably wouldn't even be that hard.
Austin's POV
Easiest assignment EVER! If this is all it takes to get an A in her class for the quarter, then I'm all in! All we have to do is, just be ourselves, how hard can that be. I glanced over at Trish and Dez, knowing that they would probably fail, no offence or anything, but they're just not good together. finished telling us our assignment, and told us to get started. It was quiet for the first few minutes, but then Ally broke the silence;
"…So, how's it going moon?" she asked chuckling.
"I mean, its going fine, how about you?" I replied shrugging my shoulders.
"It's…going," she responded, turning to look at the baby.
Okay, maybe it won't be that fun then, we needed to find some type of activity that included me, her and Isabella. And I don't know what that could be, everyone else seemed to find something to do pretty easily, even Trish and Dez came up with something.
"So, how about we..Uh, walk or something?" I asked.
I only thought of this because various other couples we're choosing to do so.
"Sounds like fun," she said hopping up and grabbing the seat.
We decided to walk around the resort, It was great being able to explore the resort grounds, it was absolutely beautiful. The lake was bigger than expexted, the sun was shining brighter than you can imagine. Everything was just so, relaxing. Even though we we're here for an assignment, it didn't feel like it, it felt like a vacation, it felt like... everything that had been weighing me down this past week, it was just gone. I could tell by the expression on Ally's face she was enjoying her time, even though we walked in complete silence. There would be some conversation here and there but, for the most part, we were just quiet and it wasn't awkward it was calming.
I couldn't help but stare at the smile graced upon her lips, her hair was blowing in the wind, and the sun made her eyes so, sparkly looking. She looked amazing.
Ally's POV
The lake looked absolutely stunning, the resort was beautiful, and nothing could ruin this beautiful moment me and Austin were having. Our hands were intertwined, the resort was silent, and all you could hear was the chirping of the birds and the wind gust. I couldn't help but notice from the corner of my eye that, Austin was staring at me, 'Oh gosh darn, I bet I have something on my face…' I thought worriedly, I frantically wiped my face off, I didn't want to look bad in front of him, even though we weren't a 'thing' he still admitted that he liked me. To my surprise there was nothing on my face, he was just staring at me. I stopped in my tracks and turned to him;
"Austin, why are you staring at me?" I asked.
He snapped out of it and turned his attention from me to the ground; "….Huh, ooh…I'm not." He said chuckling nervously. I giggled and sat down on the bench behind us, patting the space next to me so that he could sit. He hesitated at first but then sat down.
"How's it goin' in your world Dawson?" he asked leaning back on the table.
"It's going okay…" I replied slightly giggling. He looked over at me and grinned, his smile was so perfect. We sat in silence for a moment, taking in the breathtaking view of the lake.
"Ally, can I ask you something," he asked.
"Sure, ask anything," I said smiling widely.
"…So when you really like someone…and they like you back, the first thing that comes to mind is asking them out….right?" he asked, his facial expression now serious.
"…Yeah, if you truly like them, then go for it, ask them, tell them how you feel," I responded.
"Okay, well the thing is…is that I don't like this girl, I love this girl, she makes me smile, she makes me laugh, and she's always there for me," he continued "But…she and I are like friends.. really close one's, and I don't want to ruin our friendship…I just cant help but think about us being together though, and I get jealous any time I see her with a guy…"
"…Austin, really just go for it, it doesn't matter rather you guys or friends or not, love is love, and when you really feel that way towards a girl you just need to go for it!" I said truthfully.
He looked at me, he actually looked afraid, he looked like he really needed to get something off his chest. He turned his focus to the ground, remaining still, he looked as if he were deep in thought.
Austin's POV
'God damn it Austin just say you wanna be her boyfriend, it can't be that hard, I know she'll say yes..I hope she will. Shit, all you gotta say it 'Ally…will you be my girlfriend,' I noticed Ally standing up again, I guess she was ready to go back with everyone else. We made It back right on time too, because was just about ready to tell everyone how they did on this assignment.
"You guys all did very great…Well except Patrisha and Dezemond, but since they haven't ever really gotten along that well I can still give you guys a 75% on this activity at the most," she said shrugging.
"Dinner is at 6:30, and the campfire will be at 7, then everyone needs to be in their cabins and settling down by 9," she said clapping her hands. I looked at my watch it read; 5:30. I couldn't believe time had gone by so fast, it felt like me and Ally had only been walking for an hour. Maybe it was because of how long it took us to choose something.
It was finally 6:30 and we all headed to the cafeteria, where we were having spaghetti for dinner. Not gonna lie, it looked kinda good. We all sat at the table we had formerly sat at just hours before and began talking.
"So how often does this thing wake up," Ross asked eyeing his baby, that they had named Leah.
"It depends on the baby," I replied scooping spaghetti onto my fork and stuffing it in my mouth.
Ross groaned and rolled his eyes, and Laura sighed heavily; "Dear god, please let this baby not wake up every hour, because I cant do it," Laura said pleadingly. I chuckled and shook my head, "you guys are doomed," I said truthfully.
7:00, wow, this was going pretty fast. We sat around the warm fire roasting marshmallows and telling awful horror stories.
"Time for me to sing my song!" Dez said enthusiastically.
The teacher nodded her head, signaling for Dez to start.
"lets gather round the campfire and sing our campfire song, our c-a-m-p-f-i-r-e s-o-n-g song and if you don't think that we can sing it faster then your wrong but it'll help it you just sing along… bum bum bum. C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G song
And if you dont think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong
But it'll help if you just sing along
C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E S-O-N-G* song,"
he sang chuckling as other's joined in, even Trish joined in this time, which was a huge surprise to me. Trish NEVER liked anything Dez did, ever. The campfire soon ended and we all headed to our cabins. Ally headed to the shower, while I took care of the baby. She soon came out dressed in Pink pajama pants and a tank top with hearts all over it. She came and sat next to me, taking the baby from my hands and putting her in our crib-thingy-whatever. I headed into the shower, and got out 5 minutes later, noticing that Ally was no longer awake, she was fast asleep in her bed. I walked over to her, she looked so peaceful, so beautiful, and I didn't want to wake her up. I lightly kissed her cheek and switched off the lamp beside her. Then I grabbed the My-Tab and played angry birds for a while. I soon got tired of the game and turned it off, searching for another thing to do. I failed, there was absolutely nothing around that cabin to do, and no matter how tired I got I couldn't fall asleep. Then I remembered 'dougie!' I got up and went to my bag, rummaging through the things quietly until I found it. Then I went and laid down squeezing him against my chest and instantly falling asleep.
A WOOT WOOT, This one was a long oneeeeee! WOOO I know y'all are ready for Auslly to happen right? Let me hear you scream RIGHTTTT! Lol! I really hope you guys like this one, this is my new longestt! WOO Give me 5 R&R's Please? Then I'll update. ;)
