Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Austin and Ally! :(
Recap:
I laughed.
"Don't worry, I'm nothing like that guy. Unless you want to know how I work out or how I get my hair the way it is every day because let's face it...it's amazing." I said cockily.
She laughs and punches my shoulder and smiled in one of the biggest smiles I've seen her make.
This is what it feels like to finally take a chance and feeling something real toward someone. It actually felt really good I mean a week ago no one would even think to put me and Ally together not even myself but I guess people are right, maybe opposites do attract.
Wow, Allyson Dawson has definitely changed me.
After I left Sonic Boom as Ally started her shift I drove back home wondering to myself how this whole bet thing was going to work out. I mean, I didn't want to like someone that I was basically using anyway but I couldn't help to feel this way. I knew something deep down in me thought this whole thing was a bad idea but did I listen to it? No and I don't know why.
I had to clear my mind so I wouldn't over think everything so as soon as I got back home I ran straight to my room and closed the door as I walked over to my bed and fell on top of it.
I was going to see if I could take a nap you know to clear everything up and understand how to control my feelings toward the situation. I was about to drift off into sleep until my doorbell rang. I would have told Abby to get it but she had to stay at another friend's house tonight to work on some kind of project with them.
The doorbell rang again and I quickly got off my bed and heading downstairs to answer the door. As soon as I get there I opened it up and saw Dez looking at me with a serious expression which is highly weird because Dez is never serious, and if he is he's always does something crazy about the situation.
"Hey Dez what's up?" I asked him confused.
"We have a problem! Correction, you have a problem." he said entering my house.
"Okay, what's wrong?" I asked him closing the door.
"Have you seen the posters up in the hallways at school today?" he asked me.
"No, I've been thinking about a lot of other things that I guess I didn't pay attention why?" I asked confused again.
"Uh no reason it's just that Brooke's posters for prom Queen are all over the school right now and I just checked online and she already has 100 votes and prom is still 2 weeks away." he explained.
I didn't know where he was going with this.
"Okay, so?" I asked him.
He looked at me like I was crazy or something.
"Are you kidding me? Ally has none and hasn't been even nominated and as I recalled the bet you stupidly made with Dallas said that you would make her prom Queen and beat Brooke which you have not done. And you know what means? It means that you are for sure going to lose and you'll be forced to pay $1,000 to Dallas and if your parents see what you've done, they're going to kill you!" he explained.
Oh my god, he was right. I've been so caught about on how I felt toward Ally and I almost forgotten the whole reason I even started talking to her. Wow, who knew out of all people Dez would be more focused on thing than I was.
"I'm screwed! What do we do?!" I asked him worriedly.
"Who's we? I told you not to do this at all but no, you didn't want to listen to me!" he said to me annoyed.
"Well I'm sorry I should have, but I can't go back on the deal now! I have to put Ally's name up for nomination." I said to him.
"How?! The time to do that was earlier at school and you didn't do!" he said worried.
I started thinking how I could make this work. Brooke couldn't win, not again. If she did she would think that she's better than anyone and could screw over people any time she wants to and Dallas would think that I'm a loser and he would take $1,000 that didn't belong to him away from me and not to mention my parents who would hate me for the rest of my life.
I began to panic and couldn't figure out how I was going to make this work until I finally got an idea.
"Wait! I got it! We still have time!" I said happily.
"No we don't! If you didn't noticed Austin it's 8 o' clock at night and school has been closed. What are you going to do? Break into the school, go to the computer lab, break into the computer system, and add Ally's name to the voting?" he then asked me.
And who said Dez wasn't smart? He was pretty intelligent enough to figure that out.
I gave him a smiled and nodded my head as he started shaking his.
"No! No way, I'm not going to do that with you! Do you know how illegal that is?!" he then asked.
"It's not illegal, only the breaking in part and who saids we're breaking in?! We could just say we went to school after hours to take care of something important." I said trying to reason with him.
"What if we get caught?! It's going to go on my record let alone yours!" he said astonished.
"Then I guess we'll have to be extra careful now wouldn't we?!" I said pushing him out of the house.
I then followed behind him locking the door.
"Austin I swear this has 5 weeks of detention all over it!" Dez said to me.
"Well good thing we don't have 5 weeks left in the school year and I won't have to go back the school anymore!" I said to him hopping in my car.
"We're so going to get in trouble!" Dez said scared getting in the passenger seat.
"Will you quit worrying, I know what I'm doing." I said to him starting the car and driving to the school.
As soon as we arrived to the school we could see literally no one there or even inside the building. And he was worried for nothing, no one was going to be here anyway so as long as I go inside put Ally's name in the computer we shouldn't have a problem...well I shouldn't have a problem. I was still kinda worried that Ally might not get as many votes as I want her to and if that happens then I'm a dead man.
We finally park across the street underneath bushes so no one who could possibly be watching up would see that this was my car. So is what I'm doing illegal? Partially but it wasn't like I was doing anything wrong.
"Okay Dez are you ready for this?" I asked him.
"Hell no! Are you ready for this?" he then asked me. I laughed.
"Oh come on, it's not that bad just follow me and we shouldn't have a problem." I said getting out of the car.
"Why am I having a hard time believing in you?" he asked coming up behind me.
"I don't know because you're scared." I said teasingly.
"Yeah I'm scared. We might go to jail." he said.
"So let's make sure we won't get caught!" I said walking toward the back door of the school.
He then soon followed behind me as we finally reach the front of the back door.
"Okay so now what do we do?" he asked me.
"We try to open this door." I simply said.
Dez then go in front of the door and does the most stupidest thing I ever seen him do. He runs into it trying to knock it down but ends up screaming in pain which caused me to panic a little bit as he walked back towards me.
"Will you keep it down?!Did you really think that steel door was going to open if you did that?! You might as well command it to open and it will!" I said to him annoyed a little.
"Well I don't see you coming up with any ideas!" he said to me trying to hold in his screaming.
"I'll think of something! Just give me a minute!" I said to him.
I then started looking around the school building trying to see if there was a little opening that could make this plan a lot easier until I stumble across an open side window and smiled.
"Yo Dez! I'm going to need you to go in through that window and go inside and open the door from there so I can get in!" I explained to him.
He then came up to me rubbing his arm he banged against the door.
"Why can't you do it?!" he asked angrily.
"Because I'm the one that came up with the idea! Now go!" I said pushing him toward the window.
He groans and starts running toward the window and looked inside it only to find no one in there. He then smiles and starts going inside as I went back to the front of the door waiting for him to open it.
After what felt like 5 minutes he finally opens the door smiling at me.
"What the hell took you so long?!" I said impatiently.
"Sorry, I couldn't figure out which door led to this one." he said to me.
I rolled my eyes and went inside the dark school where absolutely no one was in. It was kinda weird being in a school after hours like this, but I couldn't lose everything I worked for just because I made some stupid bet.
I walked out of the hallway with Dez and started running to find which room led to the computer lab until I finally found it and grabbed the keys underneath the mat in front of the door.
I already knew where they were basically because I often ditched Science class a lot and I couldn't go in the music room like I wanted to so I just came in here all the time.
I unlocked the door and opened it up and we both went inside seeing all the computers lined up just like they're always are.
"Wow, this was actually easier than I thought it would be!" Dez said.
"Don't say that! Once you do something hard something goes wrong so let's just do what we came her for." I said to him walking toward the computer.
As soon as it came on I started to go where the voting was taking place and saw that Brooke in fact did have like 150 votes for her which surprised me.
"Okay, how did she get these many votes anyway?!" I asked Dez getting mad.
"I guess a lot of guys voted for her. I mean you should have seen her yesterday, every guy was trying to date her!" he said to me.
"How is that possible? I thought that she had a boyfriend unless she playing the open relationship card with him too." I said.
"Nah, they broke up." he said causally.
"What?!" I asked shocked.
"I said they broke up, I think he said something about her missing you or something." he said to me.
I giggled at that comment.
"Please Dez, there's no way that Brooke wants me back. She made it very clear on that when she ended everything." I said to him.
"You never know. She might since she sees you hanging around with Ally and everything." he said.
"Well even if she did I wouldn't care because I for one don't want anything to do with her." I said.
I then started to type Ally's name into the nomination until something occurred to me.
"Wait, how is Ally suppose to get as many votes as she has in such a short time?" I asked worried.
"Maybe if she gets a lot of guys to flirt with and get their numbers she could probably be in the lead with her." he said.
No way that was happening. I wasn't going to have someone else trying to date someone I was trying to.
"I don't think so." I said to him.
"What do you mean you don't think so?!" he asked confused.
"Ally is not going to flirt with random guys she doesn't even know, I mean what kind of person does that?!" I asked looking at him.
"You do! And Brooke and every other popular person in this school. Ally is going to have to do that." he said.
"No! I'm not allowing that!" I said to him getting mad at the thought.
"Why not?! You act like you have a crush on her or something!" he said looking at me.
I quickly tensed up and started to get nervous and fidgeting around with the computer keys not trying to make eye contact with him. I guess I didn't tell Dez that I had a crush on my "project", it must have slipped my mind.
"Oh no! You like her don't you?!" he said appalled.
Wow, he figures me out so well.
"What does it matter anyway wether I like Ally or not?" I said to him.
"It matters if you want to be the laughing stock for the rest of your senior year. I knew it, I knew something like this was going to happen which is why I told you not to do this!" he said panicking.
"Dez calm down! It wasn't like it was planned, trust me I had no intentions on liking Ally but it after I started to get to know her better...I felt something." I said smiling at the thought of her in my mind.
"Man, you got it bad." he said to me softly.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him confused.
"You're in love with her!" he shouted at me.
Okay, he was now really crazy. I am certain that I'm not in love with Ally Dawson...I don't think, nope I'm not.
"Wait, no one said I'm in love with anyone okay I'm just having a crush on her until I don't know we graduate or after this bet and then she'll go to her college and I'll go to mine and we won't have to see each other ever again." I explained.
I didn't know why but saying that sentence made me feel sad because I did feel something more than like toward Ally, but I know it's not love. I just know that it's different and nothing I ever felt before.
"Yeah, until you find yourself ending up falling in love with her! Dude, prom is 2 weeks away and you're just going to risk everything you worked for from all the transforming to the training just because you decide to like her at a time like this. Did you forget that you didn't want to have anything to do with her just last week? Or did that slip your mind? Now Austin, I'm not saying that you shouldn't tell her how you feel or anything because you guys do look great together I'm just saying you got yourself into this mess and now you're going to fix it and end it before someone ends up getting hurt." he explained to me.
He was right, but something in me wanted me to just forget about everything. Just start all over with Ally, I didn't care if Brooke won or not and I couldn't give a damn about this stupid bet anymore so I've decided to tell Dallas I wasn't going to this anymore. It's the right thing to do, right?
I had so much on my mind that I couldn't be in this room anymore. I just wanted to go home and do nothing just to take a break from my crazy twisted life for a minute before I ended up going crazy.
"Come on, let's get out of here. We did what we needed to do." I said softly standing up
I started walking away toward the door while Dez followed behind me and stopped me.
"Look I'm sorry if I was a bit too hard on you. Are you okay?" he asked me.
I turned around and looked at him.
"You know I just really want to go home right now." I said to him tiredly.
He nods and starts walking with me out of the school. We were soon out of there and in the car driving back home where there was no one to make my life more complicated than it already was there. It was just me and pretty soon Abby and everything was going to be calm and quiet for once.
As I finally got home I parked the car in the driveway only to see another car next it. I jumped out of my car and opened the front door only to see the lights on in the living room.
I didn't know what was happening until I see my mom on the couch playing with Abby and watching TV who I guess got picked up by her.
"Mom?" I asked shocked.
She and Abby looked up at me quickly and smiles.
"Austin! Is that you? I haven't seen you in weeks." my mom said getting up and coming to me hugging.
"You look so big and grown up!"
"Thanks! What are you guys doing here?" I asked nicely.
"There business trip in Miami so they came home to see us." Abby said happily.
"That's awesome!" I said smiling.
It was kinda nice having something happen to me in a while that I actually liked.
"I know, I've been wanting to see you for the longest but nice job keeping the house together Austin." she said to me.
I smiled at her.
"Thanks, I do what I can do." I said.
She smiles back at me.
"Oh, so I have something for you that you're going to like." she said raising her eyebrows.
"Really? What is it?" I asked her excitedly.
She then pulls a white envelope out of her pocket and showed to me and I instantly knew who it was from and my face lit up.
"This came in the mail today. I believe it's a letter from your dream school called Juilliard." she finishes smiling.
"What?! Are you serious?" I said shocked.
"Yep, you want to open it up to see what it says?" she then asks me.
I looked at her unsure because I really didn't want to open it. My entire future was in this little piece of papers hand and I couldn't decide if I wanted to open it myself and be disappointed or have someone else do it.
"Wait! Can I open it Austin?" Abby asked me running up to me and my mom.
"You know what? Go ahead." I said handing her the envelope.
She smiles and grabs the envelope and starts ripping apart the sealed paper and takes out the letter and holds it in her hand.
I couldn't believe that my dreams were or were not about to come true.
"Well what does it say?" I asked her while she read it.
She then looked up at me into my eyes and smiles.
"It says that you are in! I hope that's a good thing." she said to me.
My eyes widen and my mom started jumping up and down happily as I started hugging everyone in front of me.
"I can't believe this! I got in!" I said shocked.
"I knew you could do it!" my mom said hugging me tightly.
Just then my Dad came into the room reading and holding a letter and by the look of the envelope I knew that it was that stupid letter from Florida Career College so my happiness quickly turned into bitterness. I really hope I didn't get into that one.
"What does it say?" I said to him.
He shot his attention from the paper to look at me for the first time since I've seen him in weeks.
"Oh hey son, you got into FCC! That's great right?" he then asked me showing me the paper.
I quickly hid the letter that my mom gave me behind my back tensing up. I knew this was not going to be good if I showed him that considering I didn't even tell him I sent an application in to apply for it.
My mom knew it was time to leave so she grabbed Abby's hand and led her toward upstairs.
"Come on Abby, let's get you ready for bed." she said picking her up and up the steps.
"Look Dad, I need to talk to you about something." I said to him nervously.
I was going to have to tell him I didn't want to go one way or another so I might as well have done it now.
"Well I'm sure anything you have to say can wait I mean this letter is your new future now." he said to me.
"Actually...it's not." I said nervously again.
Way to stand your ground!
"I don't understand." he then said.
"I mean, I really don't want to go to Florida Career College. I never had and I don't want to." I finally said.
"Well this isn't about what you want, it's about what's best for you." he then said.
"Well maybe what's best for me isn't this!" I said holding up his letter.
"But we've been talking about this one since you were a kid."
"I'm not a kid anymore! You told me I could make my own decisions and I'm trying to now and you're not letting me!" I shouted finally losing my temper.
I wasn't trying to yell or turn this into an argument but if I had to, I would.
"Yeah, I did tell you could make your own decisions but that step comes with a big responsibility which you're not mature enough to handle yet." he told me.
This was ridiculous. I spent everyday taking care of a 6 year old and myself all the time while he always leaves on another business trip or going out of town and I'm not mature enough.
"How is that possible?" I then asked him.
"For starters you always start things and you never finish it. You started to apply to this school, you made a deal when you sent this letter inside the mail and now you're backing out of it? That's not being mature that's called quitting. Giving up on something that you can finish." he explained.
I couldn't believe what he was saying to me. I didn't want to hear this anymore so I just stormed out of the room and up to mine and laid down on my bed.
I was tired of everyone always saying what I can and can't do. I was going to have to stick up for myself on this one so if my dad wants me to finish what I start then he'll get just that, everyone will. So what am I going to do now?
I'm going to finish this bet. I'm going to hide my true feelings and focus on what I need to do and come prom night Ally Dawson will win prom Queen and I will win against Dallas, Brooke, my dad and everyone else who don't think I can finish what I start.
The next day at school started off slow as soon as I got into the building. Like usual everyone and every girl was trying to flirt and talk to me but I had bigger problems than that right now. As I finished putting my books in my locker Dallas then comes up to me smiling.
"Hey man! I see Ally's name is under the nomination for prom Queen." he said.
"Yep! So you can already say that you've lost." I said bragging.
"Oh no, not so fast! Brooke has 170 votes already more than she does." he said.
How the hell did she get that many votes, just yesterday she had 150!
"Well that's fine because I will find a way to give her at least 200 by the end of this week. And you and everyone else will ask me how do I do it?" I said smirking.
"Yeah right. Keep believing that if you want." he said.
Before I could respond to that I see Ally walking down the hallway. I didn't want Dallas to know that I liked her. He would just mock me and keep telling me that I was going to lose which I wasn't.
"Um...I got to go...do some stuff." I said to him nervously as I walked away.
I hoped that he didn't follow where I was going, I would hate for another problem to start. I could now see Ally at her locker putting her books in there as other guys started to check her out. I was getting angry at that, but I was going to have to suck it up until prom.
"Hey Austin, I've been looking all over for you!" she said to me as I came up to her locker smiling.
"Really? Why? Did you miss me that much?" I asked her smirking.
She rolled her eyes and smiles.
"Well yes but that's not what I wanted to tell you." she said. I laughed.
She then grabs a piece of paper out of her bag and holds it up to me.
"I got into MUNY!" she said excitedly jumping up and down.
"That's awesome! I knew you could do it!" I said hugging her tightly.
She quickly hugs me back as I spin her around the hall a bit and finally set her down.
"How did you get pass the audition thing?" I asked her.
"I just thought of you and then I eventually did it and I couldn't believe how much they loved it!" she said smiling.
I smiled back at her getting that great feeling again I always get every time she looks at me.
"I'm really proud of you Ally." I said to her softly.
"Thanks, I couldn't of done or never had the courage to do it without you." she said smiling.
"So now that you're in doesn't that mean you get to quit your job?" I asked her.
Her face suddenly fell a little bit.
"No, I still have to do that in order to pay for everything." she said sadly.
"I'm sorry Ally, I wish I can do something to help you out." I said to her.
I then finally got an idea that I could've thought of before to end everything. I didn't know why I didn't think of this before but it was worth trying.
"Hey! What if I pay for your scholarship? My parents don't mind." I said to her. She quickly froze.
"No Austin I can't let you do that, you shouldn't-" she started to say.
"Ally I've already made up mind and once I do I never go back. It's settled and I'm paying for you." I said to her smiling.
She then looks at me hesitantly and then smiles then pulls me into the tightest hug she's ever given me.
"Thank you so much! I don't know how I could ever thank for this!" she muffled in my chest.
I smile and hug her back and she pulls back but then her smile drops down as soon as she look back at me.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
She looks at me and puts on the first fake smile to me she's ever made.
"Nothing. Everything is okay." she said weakly.
I knew she was lying. There was definitely something up.
"Ally you can tell me anything, what's up?" I asked her holding her shoulder.
"Look Austin, I said I'm fine now can we just move on from there?" she asked me nicely.
"Fine, okay only for you." I said to her jokingly. She giggles.
I could hear someone clearing their throat behind us and thinking that it might be Dallas I quickly turned and looked up to only see Brooke standing in front of us without her group.
"Well what do we have here?" she asked us bitterly.
I could see Ally have a sense of fear in her eyes.
She quickly turns around to face me.
"Um...I'll see you later." she said nervously and with that she started running away from the scene.
And to think it was almost a perfect moment until she showed up.
"Austin, this an attempt to make me jealous! I know that it is." she said to me.
"I'm not trying to do anything to you!" I said to her getting annoyed.
Every word she saids now annoys me.
"Oh really? Because you and I both know that you wouldn't be standing here talking to some geek you just met off the corner." she then said to me.
"Okay first of all she isn't a geek and I'm tired of you keep calling her that. She hasn't done anything to you so just stop bothering her. What do you want anyway?" I asked her realizing she was standing here for a reason.
"Look I know we've not been getting along like we use to and-" she started to say.
"Yeah because of what you did." I said to her annoyed.
"I know! It was wrong what I did to you and I beat myself over it all the time." she said to me.
I knew she was lying but the fact that she was trying to apologize to me started becoming weird knowing that she's Brooke Jenson, a girl who never saids sorry to anything she does.
"So your unwanted visit to me was to say sorry?" I asked her.
I wish she would just get to the point.
"No! Can you just let me finish?!" she then asked.
"Go ahead! You're making me late for class!" I said to her getting angry.
"Hold on! It's not that easy!" she said to me.
"Then do what you want to do already!" I shouted at her.
I didn't want to sit here and wait to see what she was going to do but what she did next stunned me and everyone in the hallway that stopped in their tracks gasping and starting side conversation between themselves.
She lunges toward me and grabs my collar from my shirt and starts kissing me hard and desperately.
This felt wrong, all wrong. This was nothing like when I kissed Ally that night. I feel nothing there was no fireworks, my heart doesn't skip a beat, and I have no idea how I dealt with kisses like these for two years not knowing what I've been missing.
I quickly pulled her away and off of me hearing more people in the hallways commenting on every move I make. I stood there in shocked as she was smirking.
"What the hell was that?! You broke up with me remember!" I yelled at her shocked.
"And everyone makes mistakes, that doesn't mean that you hold it against them." she said as she tried to pull me back to her until I pull away.
"No! You didn't make a mistake, you intently cheated on me." I said to her.
Was she really being serious?! I thought she didn't like me anymore.
"Look Austin, I know you want to be with me just as much as I want to be with you! You don't have to pretend that you like that freak anymore because now we can get back together!" she said to me.
There was no way I was going to date her again.
"No Brooke, we can't. You made it very clear that you didn't want to be with me and I'm making it clear now that I don't want to be with you." I said to her.
She looked at me shocked but then relaxes and starts coming closer to me backing me up against the locker tugging on my shirt. Does she ever stop, what part of no didn't she understand?
"You mean to tell me after I broke up with you, you didn't think about me at all?" she said whispering in my ear.
I was about to answer her until she looked at me again and started kissing me again like her life depended on it which it kinda did but I didn't want this to happen not now, not again, not ever! I quickly pushes her away again until I hear a faint voice.
"Austin?" a familiar voice said behind me and Brooke.
We both turn around noticing everyone was starring at me and her but the person that was behind us calling my name was no one other than...Ally.
"What do you want geek? Can't you see we're busy?" Brooke said to her.
Ally then stares at her coldly then back to me as I looked at her.
"Ally, hey-" I started to say.
Before I could finish my sentence she started pacing away toward an empty room not turning her back and ignoring the people who were still for some reason with their eyes on me and Brooke. I was confused as to why she even ran away but whatever the reason was, I was going to find out.
I started to run after her until Brooke pulls me back looking at me intently.
"Where are you going?!" she asked me.
"Anywhere where you're not! I don't want to get back together with you nor will I ever want to!" I said to her angrily.
I didn't care that I just told Brooke Jenson off in front of half the senior class that was in the hallway. It was her fault Ally ran away from me. I could see she was speechless which made me smile to myself as I turned back around to find Ally.
Oh yeah, by the time prom comes she's definitely is going to pay for everything...everyone is.
Wow, quite a long chapter don't you think? But I hope you like this one!

Okay, here is the new deal. I already wrote this in "The Secret Partnership" but since this is a different story I'm going to do it here so I'm going to be updating this story every other week. That means you can read and catch up, review, and hopefully reread because I have a lot of schoolwork to do since it is the end of the school year and I'm in high school so that's why, but I hope you fun reading this story still!
Until next time...
