Chapter 3: Prizes and Payback part 2
When we arrived at school, every eye was positioned on us. It was awkward and embarrassing. I studiously avoided every look, especially from Kaydence and her group of witches. She was the most popular girl in school and Austin's number one admirer. Not because she was into him but because he was popular. That's one reason why he barely cast a glance at her. He was scared that if he did, she'd take it the wrong way. He got out of the car and politely opened my door.
"Thanks for the ride," I said. He catches hold of my wrist, just to keep me there. I glanced down at his hand.
"What?" I asked, honestly bewildered. This was not normal behavior that Austin displayed in front of me.
"Nothing, nothing," he said, his voice dissolving into nothing more than a whisper. He quickly ran, leaving me staring mystified at his retreating shadow. I wonder if he's going to ditch me.
Science Fair Results
Austin, thank the Lord, didn't ditch me. But, I think I would have preferred him ditching me than giving me the silent treatment. I don't even know what he's mad about. The public address system ringed out. Oh boy, I thought, here we go.
"There were many Science Fair entries today…," I began to tune out. Why was Austin mad at me? I glanced at him. His face was as cold as ice and as blank as a clean piece of paper. Even in his deathly expression, he was handsome. He was not like Dallas, who made me dizzy and shy. He was like a steady flame, always constant. He had deep dark brown eyes that were….. looking right at me.
"Have I got something on my face?" he asked, which was the first words out of his mouth since this morning. I shook my head and turned my attention to Mr. Smith.
"And so the winner of The Science Fair is… Ally Dawson!" Mr. Smith's voice rose from calm to plain disbelief when he saw my name. I come up the stage, with a confused expression that said, Are you sure you're reading the right name?I was forced to stand beside Ms. Morris, who was the Head teacher of The Sciences Department.
"Would you like to say a few words, Ally?" Mrs. Morris said, in a tone that suggested that it wasn't a question, it was an order.
"Um, I'd like to say thanks to, um, Mr. Smith for inspiring me to join The Science fair," I look around the crowd. Austin was looking at me, eyebrows slightly raised.
"And I'd like to thank Austin for coming here with me, Bye!" I said. Applause followed as Mrs. Morris handed me a trophy. It had my name on it. A stab of guilt pinched me. I felt sorry for Brady. He worked on the project and he didn't even get any recognition. On the other hand, I wasn't about to own up that he did most of the project. After reveling in my victory, I see Austin leaning on the wall. He looks at me and mouths, Follow me. Oh. No. The deal! I have to kiss Austin. I excused myself and hesitantly followed Austin to the old stage. Our school had an old stage a little farther from the new one. It was abandoned and now, most couples sneak there to be alone. Austin climbed up the stage and he put his hand out to help me up. We went behind the old red curtain. Dust flew out, triggering my allergies. I fought my burning urge to sneeze.
"Okay, let's just get this over with," I said, looking at Austin. He smiled and closed his eyes. I kept my eyes open. When his face was one inch apart from mine, I reluctantly closed my eyes. He chuckled, and pulled away. He backed down? That's good news,I thought.
"The deal's changed, Ally," okay, this is bad news
"What do you have in mind?" I asked, warily. His eyes were bright and alight with humor, as if there was a joke I couldn't see.
"We date,"
Please tell me what you thought! And as usual read The Truth about Forever by Lily 5603. Bye! B.T.W: May I get new reviewers?
