By the time we got to the cottage it was around 9:00 at night. Even though the sun has not set yet everyone was way to tired to do anything since we've drove all day.
"Austin sweetheart do you mind giving Ally here a tour while me and your father go to Margret's house for a while. We have not seen them for a while and we want to make sure she has arrived with everyone. After you are done packing just walk over. I am sure Dallas will be more than happy to see you" Mimi said as she already unpacked everything
"Sure mom" Austin said kind of tired I could tell he was by the tone of his voice.
"Who's Margret?" I asked confused…
"She's my mom's friend and Dallas is her son. He's our age and you would probably like him because he has brown hair. They live down the street." He said emphasising Dallas' brown hair. This kid would not leave it alone. Fine okay I don't not like blondes. I mean Austin was good looking, I'll admit that but his personality destroyed any chance of him being as he calls himself 'hot'.
"Oh that's cool." I said giving him a half-smile knowing that he was pretty pissed off from the car ride.
"Alright so, this is our cottage" Austin said dropping his luggage's on the ground. And I thought the outside was huge! Man, the inside was massive. It was not what they call a 'cottage'. More like a house.
"Whoa! This place is huge!" I managed to say
"Yeah, so okay… I know your not going to like it.. but we kind of share a room" Austin said bringing me to a room.
"Wait… share?.. Austin I'm pretty sure your parent-"
"Nope. There bunk beds, because my aunt and cousins are coming too" he said unlocking the door to the room. I mean it wasn't gigantic, but still the bunk beds were like normal beds but one on top of another.
"Great-" I mumbled under my breath. I put my luggage on the bottom bunk and sat down there as Austin went to grab his.
"Oh your funny if you think your going to sleep there for the summer. You're the top bunk" he said putting his luggage down.
"What happened to 'you're the guest, you should choose first'" I said standing up.
"No, you're the 'unwanted' guest freak. Now you get the top bunk or you can sleep on the cot. You choose! There is no way in hell I am sleeping on the top" Austin said which was really harsh. I mean I get it Austin did not want me there. He made it clear enough which did hurt. I mean I should have just begged my dad to let me stay home. There was no way I was sleeping on the cot, so without causing any trouble I just moved by bags and climbed up on the top bunk.
"I knew you would see it my way" Austin said unpacking his clothes and putting them into drawer. "You can put all of your stuff into that drawer" he said pointed to a brown drawer identical to his which was close to the window.
"thanks" I mumbled walking over to the drawer and starting to unpack. I opened the drawer and started putting my tops in. when I opened the second drawer I found a picture frame, that has a picture of Austin when he was smaller and a guy that looked like Austin but older. He has blonde hair, dark brown eyes, and looked a lot like Mike, Austin's dad. The funny thing was that he wasn't Austin, or Mike, and I was 100% sure it was not Mimi.
"Austin is this your brother?" I asked him taking out the picture frame and handing it to him
"Uhm.. yeah" Austin said clearly uncomfortable about the subject. It was funny how he never mentioned he has a brother and knowing Austin he would have since everyone knows everything about him.
"Why have you never mentioned you had a brother before? I thought you were a single child?" I asked and regretting it right after. I could see in Austin's eyes that he did not want to talk about it which made me want to know why! The question was why did I care?
"Because I didn't alright! Just leave it alone!" he said taking the picture frame and walking out of the room pretty upset if you ask me. Dang it ally, couldn't you have just left it alone.
"Sorry" I mumbled but I am pretty sure he did not hear it
I finished unpacking my stuff and walked into the living room where Austin was sitting watching cartoons. How childish could he be?
"Brody ends up being the cake thief" I said as I sat down on the same couch but at the opposite end.
"I never watched that episode! Wow thanks a lot! Must you ruin everything?" he said shutting on the television. I never meant to ruin this trip for him. I mean…he was the one who bullied me since grade 9 and I was the one who was trying to be nice to him, but it was pretty clear that he did not want anything to do with me.
"C'mon freak we're going to see Margret" Austin said putting on his jacket
"Erm.. it's okay you go" I said trying to give him a half-smile. I didn't want to ruin this too
"No you have to come, or else my parents are going to think I made you stay here" he said walking out the door not really caring if I followed him or not. Which in the end I decided following him a couple of meters behind him but following him.
"Oh you must be Ally" a women said as I walked into the house and stood beside Austin.
"You must be Margret!" I said smiling at her as she nodded
"My, my, your just as pretty as Mimi has said. Austin you are very lucky to have this girl" Margret said as my eyes widened. WHAT!
"What! No me and fre-Ally are not dating!" Austin spoke up offended at the fact that she would ever say that we were a couple.
"So she isn't your girlfriend? Why not Austin, she is so beautiful, just look at her!" Margret asked as I started to blush a bright red at the fact that she kept on complimenting me
"No, I am not his girlfriend. Were just urgh-"I began to say them stumbled with my words. I mean what were we? Friends? I am lucky if he doesn't completely hate my guts by the end of the summer, which I am pretty positive he does by now.
"Were friends. Just friends" Austin spoke up as I lost my train of thought
"Whoa, did someone say Austin got a girlfriend? I'd love to see this!" a brown haired boy came into the kitchen said. I was almost positive that it was Dallas. I have a pretty good memory, so I remembered what he looked like, and he fit the description perfectly as Austin described him.
"Dallas" Austin cheered pretty excited to see him and gave him one of those handshakes that guy's do that I never really understood. This was probably the first time that I seen Austin smile in an entire day. When then again he wasn't smiling because I was here, but still.
"So Austin is this your girl?" Dallas said eyeing Austin.
"No man, she's just my friend. Her dad was on a business trip this summer so she had to stay with us" Austin said to Dallas. I loved how he added in 'had' like I was forced here. His parents were the one who willingly volunteered to have me here for the summer. It was not like I was the one who said 'hey I really don't like Austin Moon, let me just go spend the entire summer with him'.
"Wow man, first girl that I haven't met as your girl. She's still hot though" Dallas said quietly to Austin trying to make sure that I didn't hear it but I did. He should really work on his whispering skills.
"I'm Dallas" Dallas said smiling at me. Alright I am not proving Austin right or anything, but Dallas was really cute, but not just because he has brown hair, also because ha had brown eyes and I was a HUGE sucker for brown eyes.
"Ally" I said giving him a half-smile back
"Yo Austin, you coming to the beach tomorrow, then to Jerry's?" Dallas asked turning his attention back to Austin
"Yeah, I haven't had Jerry's in so long" he said to Dallas…Jerry's was? I have no clue. Well, I should not even bother trying to figure it out. I mean I will probably spend the entire summer in my-well Austin's and mine's room. So our room?
"So I am guessing I will be seeing you tomorrow too at the beach, then at Jerry's" Dallas said smiling at me
"Erm" I started to say but Mimi cut in. Thank you Mimi!
"Alright c'mon Austin and Ally, we should get going, see you tomorrow Margret" Mimi said
I gave Dallas an apologetic smile and as I was about to leave he came up to me
"I'm counting on seeing you tomorrow" he said smiling looking me up and down as I quickly walked out of the house beside Austin who didn't look too happy
It was about 10:00 and Mike suggested us to go to bed since we had the entire summer to hand out, and stay up late.
"Look Austin, I won't come to the beach tomorrow if you don't want me too" I said shyly as I was in my pj's
"Do whatever you want freak, it's not like I can stop you" he said ticked off. And this time I had no reason why. I mean he was angry at me for no reason. Well then again I wouldn't be too happy if I found out Austin was coming with me for two months up to my cottage if I had from..
The one thing that was going to suck the most.. is sharing a room with him.
