Chapter 3

Austin's POV

As soon as the words left his mouth, Austin's eyes widened. Oops, he thought. Those words weren't supposed to slip. Did she get that I just asked her to the dance? He hoped not. Sure, of course Austin was going to ask Ally. But not this way.

However, he didn't have to worry at all. Ally just stood there, staring blankly at him.

"Um, Ally?" Austin asked, nervously.

She blinked in surprise. "What? Oh, sorry, Austin, I must have spaced out. What did you say?"

Austin grinned with relief and repeated his question. "Please come to the dance?"

"I'm sorry, Austin. I just don't go to dances," she sighed.

"Please? Please, Ally?" Austin begged. "Just think about it. For me?"

Ally sighed. "Ok, fine. But only because I don't want to be late for class." She teased. "And if I don't think about it, I won't be going to class, will I"

"Nope," the blonde stated proudly. No way."

She laughed. "See you later."

When she disappeared into her classroom, Austin pumped his fist in the air. "Yes!"

After school, Austin found Trish and Dez. "Hey guys."

"What's up?" They replied.

"I need your help. I want to ask Ally to the dance—"

"Ha! I knew it! I knew you'd want to ask her!" Trish interrupted him.

"Trish!" Dez scolded. Austin's talking." He turned to his best friend. "Go on."

"The thing is, Ally's said that she won't—"

"Go to the dance," Trish finished. "Yeah, I know. That's what she told me too. But you should ask her anyways. I'm sure she'll change her mind if you asked her."

"Yeah, Austin," Dez added. "…what she said." He gestured to the Latino.

"Guys, I wasn't finished. I—"

Austin was interrupted once again, this time by Dez. "Yeah, Trish, let him finish!" He turned back to Austin. "Go ahead, buddy."

The blonde superstar gave his best friend a strange look, but continued talking. "I, um, kind of already asked her. But I don't think she realized it, because she didn't answer my question. I didn't mean to ask her like that! It kind of just slipped out. Anyways, I'm planning on asking her tomorrow at lunch. And I've got a special way to do it. But I'm going to need your help." He explained his plan to Trish and Dez, who both nodded.

"So what do you need us to do?" Trish asked, jumping up and down with excitement.

"Trish, just make sure Ally's in the cafeteria. And Dez, can you take care of the sound system?"

His friends nodded again. "You can count on us, buddy," Dez said.

"Count on you for what?" a new voice asked.

The trio spun around to face a familiar brunette. "Ally!" The said in sync. "Nothing!"

Ally gave them an unbelieving look. "Seriously guys, what were you talking about?"

You, Austin though. Your eyes really sparkle in the sunlight, you know that? And your hair's so perfect, and your smile is worth a million pictures. But he didn't say any of that out loud. "Um…"

They were saved by the most unlikely person ever.

"Dez!" Mindy called from down the hall. "Oh Dez!"

"Ahh!" A panicked Dez cowered behind them. "Hide me!" Then he seemed to realize that Mindy had already seen him. His eyes widened as he realized that there was no place to hide. Panicking, he turned to Trish. "Trish, will you go to the dance with me?"

Trish didn't say anything. She just stood there, shocked.

Meanwhile, Mindy came closer. 'Trish?" Dez repeated, freaking out now. Austin was about to step in a say something when Trish finally spoke.

"Dez…"

Everyone held their breaths, waiting for Trish to say something. Austin was sure that Trish would explode and yell at Dez about how she hated him. He expected her to yell about how they were different, and that she didn't want to spend any more time with him then she had to. In his mind, Austin prepared to comfort Dez.

"Sure, Dez, I'll be your date to the dance."

Dead silence. Then: "REALLY?" Dez asked, caught off guard.

"Really?" Ally repeated, sounding shocked.

"Really?" Austin echoed, not believing his ears. This was Trish they were talking about. Trish, who had hated Dez since she met him.

"REALLY?" shrieked Mindy, who had reached the group just in time to hear Trish's answer.

Trish nodded, confirming her answer. "Yeah. Why is everyone so surprised/ IT's not like I hate him or anything. I just can't stand him sometimes. But the more we've worked together, the more I've realized that we aren't that different. And he's not too bad. Being your date," she added, turning to Dez, "would be awesome. But now that you have a date, please tell her to back off." She gestured to Mindy, who was seething.

"Oh, right!" Dez turned to face the girl. "Sorry, Mindy, but I'm already going with Trish. "Maybe next time." Adding under his breath, he said, "not."

Mindy's face turned red, but she was so upset that she couldn't get ant words out. Instead, she settled for stomping her feet and marching away.

Dez cheered. "Thanks so much, Trish!"

Trish nodded. "Don't mention it. But next time you nominate someone for something, think of me."

"Wow, Trish," Ally finally spoke. "Now that you're going with Dez, maybe I should come to the dance," she said jokingly.

This was met with a chorus of "YES!"

Ally laughed. "As I told Austin earlier, I'll think about it."

Austin spoke up. "Now that Trish and Dez are going together, I'll be all alone. Ally, don't leave me alone with all the crazy girls! I need someone to hide with!"

Ally laughed. "Alright, guys, I'll think about it harder."

"Yay!" All three of her friends pumped their fists into the air.

Still laughing, Ally checked her watch. "Oh no! I'm sorry, guys. I have to go. I was supposed to be at the Sonic Boom half an hour ago!" With that, she rushed off, leaving her three friends to fully flesh out Austin's plan to ask her to the dance.

And that's it! See why I begged you not to kill me? lol. Anyways, please leave a review to let me know what you thought! That would be so cool. And yes, I will try to have another chapter out as soon as possible.

So until next time, stay AWESOME! :)
