Double Take:
Ally's POV
Double take. Giving something/someone a second glance, after initially taking notice the first time. Or in this case something Austin does when he really likes someone. That he's done to every girl.
Except me.
Something that normally wouldn't bother. But it does. A lot. I need to get my double take.
There he goes again. Looking behind his back at the next girl who passed by. She wasn't even that pretty. Who am I kidding, She is gorgeous.
I hide behind my songbook and start scribbling down ideas.
Riding a motorcycle. Nope.
Riding a mechanical bull. Nope.
Riding a real bull. Definitely no!
Finally I came up with an idea that didn't not involve riding anything that could cause me to get hurt severely.
I laid out everything I needed to get my double take.
Next Day
At the Mall Food Court
After getting everything set up (not much, just the sound equipment), everything was ready. Just about time too. Austin has had so many double takes in the past twenty-four hours and it is my turn to get one. It was just about the time that Austin comes to get his daily pizza from Mini's.
I walk up the stairs on to the tiny food court stage that we had used to film the recreation of performing Don't Look Down at the costume party when we were making the rockumentary.
By the way, rockumentary is an actual word! I was writing in my back-up journal when we were filming it because I had accidentally got my songbook stuck behind the piano and I forgot it was on wheels... Anyways, so I went to type it in and when I got to m it automatically put it rockumentary.
Sorry, I get distracted when I'm nervous.
Speaking of getting distracted, did I tell you about the time Owen fell in love with the bird in the cuckoo clock. I would try to play with him, but every hour he would be so distracted with thoughts of his girlfriend and waiting for her to come out that he wouldn't pay attention to me. But a couple days later, the clock broke and we had to get rid of it. Poor Owen was heartbroken.
Sorry, I did it again.
Austin's here! He is starting to walk over to Mini's. He looked over at me and waved then turned his head back in the direction of Mini's Time to start!
"This song is dedicated to Austin Moon." I left out his middle name so that I didn't embarrass him in front of everybody and distract him from my song.
Well, his song. No, my song. I don't know what it is. It wrote it and he sings it so...I don't know.
Now I am singing Double Take, not taking my eyes off of him.
And that's when he finally gives me my double take.
