"HONK! HONK! HONK!"
Austin kept on honking the stupid horn in his car signalling for Dallas to come out of the house.
"Austin! Stop it, I'm pretty sure Dallas heard it" I said sounding kind of annoyed
"Why, does this bother your freak?" Austin asked smirking
"Why yes, yes it does blondie" I said putting my hand on top of the wheel so that he couldn't honk it anymore. As soon as I took it off I regretted it because..
"Honk! Honk! Honk! Honk!"
"Austin!" I yelled loud enough for him to get the idea that it was really pissing me off. I mean now I have a head ache because of the stupid noise.
"Hey guys" Dallas said coming over to the car just in his swim shorts and no top on. I mean I wasn't complaining but still.. at least put a shirt on! Your going to get burned but it was alright because I packed enough sunscreen for all of us
"We have to pick up Charlie and Dez then were going to meet Ben there" Dallas said leaning into Austin's car window of his Jeep. Honestly, his car was perfect for this type of weather, the beach and the cottage and all. His car was the jeep without of doors so it was an easy access
"Ight, bro wait did you get the surfboards?" Austin said while Dallas looked at me smiling which sort of maybe made me blush. I could see Austin as the corner of my eyes roll his eyes and told Dallas to get the surf boards
"Can you not flirt with my friends freak?" Austin said as if I was flirting with Dallas. I mean I wasn't and he wasn't flirting with me…. I mean why would he? Have you seen me?
"I am not flirting with your friends, and trust me I won't" I spat kind of offended. I mean even if I did find Dallas cute.. that does not automatically mean I am flirting with him
"Promise?" he said all of a sudden dead serious.
Before I did promise him, Dallas came back with the surf boards and put them in the back of the car
"Alright get out of the front, so Dal can sit here" Austin said now glaring back at me. Seeing as I didn't want to cause any havoc I started to unbuckle my seat belt Dallas told me it was fine and he didn't mind sitting in the back. What a gentlemen, I mean … why couldn't Austin be more like him?
"Charlie! Dez!" Dallas and Austin both greeted them as they walked over to the car
"Wait.. Dez.. as in Dez from school?" I sat there shocked as I saw the orange headed guy walking over to the car. Shit. Shit. Shit. I mean I never and I did never swear but this was bad. Very very bad.
"Yeah?" Austin said in an obvious tone
"Why is he here!" I asked even more shocked that now I realized I had to spend an entire summer with two guys who made my life a living hell. Well.. Dez not so much, but still he never really said anything when Austin did make fun of me
"Charlie and Dez are first cousins so he comes up with them" Austin said ignoring me and turning his attention towards his friends as I slowly slouched down in my seat.
As Charlie and Dez sat in the car, I could tell Dez clearly remembered who I was, and by his facial expression I could tell he was confused out of his mind.
"Ally?" he asked making sure it was me
Crap. "Ermm… Hi Dez" I said shyly towards him
"What are you-" Dez began to ask but Charlie decided to speak up
"Yo Austin who is the babe?" Charlie asked not trying to hold anything back
"Charlie this is freak, freak this is Charlie" Austin said sort of annoyed when Charlie called me a 'babe' but not in a jealous way. More in an annoyed way like 'great now my friends are hitting on her'. I mean he probably wanted to hang out with them since they didn't see each other for an entire year
"My name is actually Ally" I said quietly. Austin clearly didn't want us to keep on talking so he just turned up the radio really loud. I mean I could feel the car shaking, but clearly I was the only one who had this problem with the music being way to loud. But I decided just to keep my mouth shut about it.
"Come on guys" Charlie yelled as they got out of Austin's car and ran over to the beach with Dallas and Dez.
At this point, all I wanted to do was go back to the cottage but I knew I would just have to suck it up and try to at least enjoy myself. Well, I did bring my book so I could get ahead of my reading!
The first half an hour was honestly perfect! And you want to know why.. because Austin and his idiotic friends were out in the water surfing which looks incredibly dangerous might I add. It was all so peaceful until they decided to come out of the water
"Miss me freak?" Austin said smirking as he walked towards me all wet from the water
"Awe back so soon blondie? I was hoping for you to drown.. but I guess we don't get everything we want now do we?" I said smirking back at him while Charlie chuckled at my comment.
"So Ally, are you going to come in the water later? I mean I would kill to see you in a bathing suite!" Charlie said winking at me.. obviously he was the guy who thought he could get every girl even if they weren't that pretty. He was the type of guy a girl would call .. now excuse my language but a 'player' , 'manwhore' or 'complete and utter asshole'
"Dude!" Austin said while hitting his chest pretty hard seeming really uncomfortable about the subject
"Sorry" Charlie mumbled as he rubbed his chest
"Hey Guys!" I heard a couple of voices which I was pretty sure were girls… pretty sure…unless guys had really girly voices these days
"Hey ladies" Dallas, Dez, Charlie, and Austin all said in sync
"Erm… Cassidy, Jo, and Annie this is Ally" Austin said introducing me to them
"Hi" I said waving and smiling slightly
"Hey is that All Souls Die by Carey Martin" the orange headed girl said kneeling down to me
"Yeah" I said shyly
"That is an awesome book Ally! Did you get to the party where John and Abby finally meet each other!" she squealed
"Yeah! It was is romantic but it is so sad that there love could never be!" I said pretty upset about the part
"Okayyyy" Austin said stretching the 'y' in the sentence as me and Cassidy both giggled
"Hey babe" Jo went up to Austin and kissed him on the cheek. Funny, he never mentioned he had a girlfriend.
"Hey annie" Charlie said going up to Annie and putting his arm around her
"Oh no, not this summer Charlie" Annie piped up as if she learned her lesson from last summer.
"So…Jo and Austin are dating, Jo and Charlie, and Cassidy and?" I asked very curious. Probably Dallas. I mean she was very pretty and smart and stuff
"Dez" she said getting up and going to kiss him on the lips
"And no were not dating. The only couple here is Dez and Cassidy" Charlie said winking at me as I slightly scoffed
"It's called hooking up freak, something that your not very familiar with" Austin said glaring at me
I decided to keep my mouth shut that that point. I mean there was no point in fighting back right? The only person I liked out of the group was probably Cassidy. I mean her and Dez did make a cute couple I had to agree.
"Wait- is Ally your girlfriend?" Cassidy asked us really loudly kind of making things awkward
"Oh yeah, the day Cassidy, the day" Austin said. Alright, I had no clue why but his comment really got to me. I mean he keeps on saying I'm not good for him
The crew just went silent for a couple of seconds until Annie suggest that they go for a swim. Charlie, Dallas, Dez, Jo, Cassidy, and Annie left, leaving me and Austin alone there which I knew was going to be awkward
"Why didn't you want to come for a swim?" Austin asked me confused.
"Erm…I…I.. can't swim" I mumbled but loud enough for Austin to hear it
"Seriously?" he asked me as if I would lie to him
"Yeah" I said getting embarrassed and while rubbing my arm
"I could teach you, and then I could teach you how to surf?" Austin proposed
"Woah did Blondie just say that he would help out the freak; Ally Dawson? What's the catch?" I said first sarcastically, then starting to get curious. I mean Austin isn't nice. He would never 'willingly' help me out
"Pshh.. What? I can't be nice! I mean why does there always have to be a catch?" he said, obviously lying
"Austin…?" I said just wanting him to tell me why he would randomly help me out of the blue
"Fine. Charlie is having a party tonight-" he began but I cut him off
"So you want me to cover for you?" I asked him obviously knowing that was the answer
"Actually…..I need you to come with me" Austin said rubbing the back of his neck
"Nope" I said popping the 'p' and going back to read my book
"Why not?" Austin cried "Haven't you ever wanted to go to a party?" he said as if he knows I never been invited to one
"Who says I haven't gone to one?" I asked knowing that in was lying
"Oh please, you spend your Friday nights doing homework, and you don't look like the party or have fun girl" he said as if I never have done
"Hey! I do have fun" I said sounding ticked off which I was
"What was one fun thing you've done in the past month?" he said smirking as if he knew I don't do anything fun
"Erm….. uh.. well" I began stuttering
"I knew it! So tomorrow night, were going to Charlie's party" he said happily
"But-" he cut me off
"No buts" he said turning around to see everyone start to come out of the water
"Come on Ally, you have to come in the water!" Dallas said taking my hand and pulling me up
"No, I'm fine here on land." I said trying to be as nice as possible. I could see Dallas upset about it but he let it go
"Come on guys, let's go to Jerry's" Dez suggested as he jumped up and down several times excited for ice cream. Dallas explained to me earlier that it was an ice cream place
"Sure" everyone agreed as we packed our stuff and walked to the car
"Hey Austin, long time no see" a man at the ice cream parlour said patting Austin on the back in a friendly way. I am assuming the guy is Jerry
"Hey Jerry" Austin said sitting down in the booth
"Nice to see yall back this summer, and who might this be?" Jerry turned towards me
"This is Ally, Jerry. She is staying with Austin for the summer" Charlie spoke up and introduced me
"That's nice to hear, take care of this one Austin!" Jerry said. Many people are saying 'this one' I mean I already knew Austin was a player, but how many girls could he have dated?
"There not dating Jer" Dallas spoke up seeming slight upset about it
"Alright, so what do you kids want?" Jerry asked us
"Cherry twirl" Jo and Annie said at the same time
"Orange Tango" Cassidy said
"Coffee Sorbet" Dallas and Charlie said
"Blueberry, Cotton Candy, and Mango swirl" said Dez excitedly
"Lime sorbet" me and Austin said at the exact same time
"Whoa, looks like we finally have something in common freak" Austin said over the table only to me so I was the only one who could hear it
I decided just to laugh at the comment instead of answering back.
"So Ally are you and Austin good friends?" Cassidy asked wanting to know more about it, I guess?
"Uhm.. yeah were.. friends" I said trying to give a smile while trying to erase all of the memories of him bullying me at school
"So Ally, do you have a boyfriend back home?" Jo asked me and Austin literally started couching on his ice cream
"Ally.. boyfriend? Oh that's funny" Austin said laughing not knowing that he said it out loud
"He means I don't really date" I said staring at Austin and he suddenly stopped laughing
"Suree" Dez said and him and Austin started dying of laughter. That was it, I was done so I deiceded just to get up and walk out of the ice-cream parlour. I knew the way home from Jerry's so I just decided to walk home from there.
Normal Pov:
"Guys!" Cassidy screamed to Austin and Dez and they finally stopped laughing
"What?" Austin and Dez asked once they stopped laughing
"She left, you know!" Cassidy said unhappy about the situation
"Relax, she'll be fine!" Austin said going back to eat her ice cream
"Your really something else Austin!" Cassidy said getting up to after Ally
"Wait, baby where are you going?" Dez asked as she walked away
"To find Ally, because clearly I am the only one who cares or noticed that she even left" Cassidy said walking out of the Parlour
Ally's Pov
I was not in the mood to be made fun of again. I mean Austin tries to make my life miserable on purpose. He was nice to me today only because he wants something. He does from happy, to nice, to mean, to angry and I am done dealing with it. At school, at least I could ignore it and go to talk to Trish, but at the cottage I had no one to talk to.
Well today was an interesting day at the beach….
