Ally's POV:
It was around six in the evening, and I was finally heading to my car after hours upon hours of practising my viola in the school orchestra room. But I was actually more than delighted to seeing as, I was practising the solo I acquired after the audition! My orchestra director told me this morning just before my assigned counsellor I was neck and neck with Peter to be the class valedictorian as well!
It's safe to say, it's been an awesome day and a smile has been plastered on my face the entire time! Now I get to top it off by going home and doing absolutely nothing seeing as I knocked out AP Euro during the free period. I'm just gonna place my bum on that couch, and watch this week's episode of Pretty Little Liars!
I opened the school doors, realizing it were actually dark out and while I was happy, there's no denying how sketched out I was being here alone. I looked straight ahead and saw my lone car on the far end of the parking before I started walking to it, rather alarmed. I swear I could hear everything at this very moment and it was creeping me out, so with that I started walking faster when I heard what sounded like footstep. I jumped a bit, scared shitless, before turning and scoped the empty parking lot, but after a few seconds I realized it was just me being paranoid.
With that, I walked even faster towards my metallic green VW Beatle and scrambled through my purse to pull out the keys to my car. By the time I reached the driver's door, I had finally found them but nervously dropped them soon after as a result of all my anxiety.
"Damnit!" I breathed as I bent over to pick them up. But to my surprise I felt a firm grip on my waist and the stranger pulled my bum to his pelvis before I shot straight up screaming. "I will literally give you my fucking wallet and car!" I knew it was a male by his hold and my eyes closed, taking in this terrifying moment. But soon, I heard this familiar chuckle making my eyes widen before I turned to face the asshole. "AUSTIN!" He was still laughing when I punched him hard in his gut, making him actually wince at the pain.
"Fuck Ally!" He said hunched over, grabbing his stomach.
"What the hell is your problem Austin? You scared me shitless!" He started chuckling a bit before he stood straight up again and stepped closer to me.
"Sorry! I had to do it though!" He laughed, but I on the other hand leaned back on my car door with crossed arms. Shaking my head at his childish behaviour. "And for the record, if a guy pulls your ass to his junk, chances are he doesn't want your money or this monstrosity of a car." I scoffed, looking to him like he was the dickhead he truly is. But that just earned even more laughs from him as he brushed it off.
"What the hell are you even till doing here? Didn't you get out of practise at like 5?"
"Yeah, and then I showered in the locker room." I looked at him with a ton of sass and furrowed eyebrows gesturing that still makes zero sense. It didn't take him an hour long to get cleaned. He groaned, clearly annoyed I was making him explain himself. "I saw your car was still here and for reasons like this, I decided to wait and see to it you were good. Okay?" I bit my lip, fighting my smile. I knew that was so painful for him to say.
"Um, thank you?" He groaned, shaking off his comment before he placed his hand on the top of my car, right above my shoulder.
"What were you doing here so late anyways? And at that by yourself. Like a true dumbass if I may add." I scoffed, knowing he was back to his dickhead ways.
"I was practising." He shook his head, with furrowed eyebrows, mentally asking me why he should know what I was talking about. I scoffed. "I got the solo Austin." A light lit in his head before a smile actually appeared on his face.
"Well look at you." He started, making me giggle a bit. "Somehow, you've managed to become an even bigger geek." He laughed before I playfully slapped his chest, laughing with him. But soon, we simmered down and he was just smiling at me for what felt like minutes before he broke the silence. "So um, wanna celebrate?" I scoffed shaking my head.
"I swear, you just can't get enough can you?" He rolled his eyes, shaking his head and my eyebrows instantly sorrowed when he reached into his pocket and pulled out a plastic bag holing the green plant. "Oh."
"Exactly." He chuckled. "You down?" I shook my head.
"I can't. I don't have any spare clothes and my parents would freak if they smelled it on me." He bit his lip, thinking and while I wanted to, I just couldn't take the risk.
"How about I give you one of my hoodies to cover up, and I'll shotgun you so you won't have to touch it?" I bit my lip, thinking it might actually work. I'll just wash my hair as soon as I step in the house.
"Okay yeah." A smile grew on his face before he set the plastic bag back inside his pocket and took my hand, pulling me away from my car. "Where are we going?" He said nothing and we continued walking until I spotted his black Mustang in the other parking lot of the school; the senior lot, which is just really where the popular kids park.
We walked up to his car and he let go of my hand before he walked to his trunk and opened it. It wasn't long before he was done digging through things and he closed it, holding a large grey hoodie in hand. He said nothing, and just handed it to me and opened the passenger door.
"Get in." He demanded. I just scoffed and shook my head before I did as he said. There was no point in trying to find out where he was taking me. As soon as he closed the door and made his way around to the driver's seat, I looked around his car; still impressed by its interior despite how many times we've hooked up in his car over the last six months. It's just that nice. "Alright," He started as he took his spot in the driver's seat. "I'm gonna take you to my secret spot. So keep your mouth shut got it?" My eyebrows furrowed, before a cheeky grin took place on his.
I just nodded my head and as he pulled off, I actually kind of grew excited. But when I noticed him driving off the road and on the very wide pathway leading to our school's practise fields for our sport teams, I looked to him and he was wearing a large smile biting his lip.
"Um, Austin? What the hell are you doing?" He chuckled, and soon we were driving on the freaking football practise fields. "Austin! You can't do this!" He scoffed, briefly looking over to me as if I was the dumbest girl in the world.
"You should know me by now, I do whatever the hell I want." I said nothing as he cockily chuckled and put the car in park in the middle of the damn pitch. "Put the hoodie on and get out." Before I could respond He was already stepping out of the car, closing the door being him.
"Fucking dick." I breathed as I did what he said. When I was good and ready, I stepped out of the car and saw him taking his place on the hood of his car. He patted the spot next to him and I went with it before he started packing his small glass bowl. It was quiet and I just took the time to look around at this rather peaceful place. The only things creating any light were the moon, the stars and the lights from the school parking lot and as I continued looking around, I noticed the numerous tire marks all over the pitch. I had to laugh a bit before I finally broke the silence.
"How often do you do this?" He chuckled.
"All the time. I really couldn't tell you exactly how many times." I chuckled this time, realizing this is his getaway spot. "Alright." He started grabbing my attention. He brought the pipe bowl to his mouth and ran the flame from his lighter right above the herb as he took one massive hit. I just watched him while he held the smoke in his lungs and leaned back on the windshield.
It' always hot watching Austin smoke. You can never tell when he's high and it's also just impressive how well we can manage it. Right now, he's effortlessly releasing the smoke, blowing oh's into the air.
"So," He started, finally looking back to me. "What are your plans for the weekend?" I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows.
"I don't know. Why?" He grew quiet and just looked to me as he was clearly contemplating something. I could tell cause he was playing with his lip ring like he always does when he's making decisions.
"I was thinking, maybe we could shill or something." I was beyond taken back as he just looked to me for my response.
"Austin, we never hang out on the weekends..." He shrugged his shoulders, not seeing how that was relevant. "Well aren't you going to Cassidy's Party? That's all anyone has been talking about today." He nodded his head before he looked away from me.
"Yeah, and I was thinking...maybe you go with me." I actually burst out laughing at the idea, grabbing his attention again. He instantly stared at me with one raised eyebrow, oddly not seeing the humour in the horrible idea.
"Seriously, what the hell are you smoking to think I would ever agree to that?!" He scoffed, looking away from me and shaking his head.
"What the fuck are you doing besides watching Pretty Little Liars and hanging out with your little brother?" My mouth dropped, but I was still smiling. That's exactly what I planned on doing for a lot of it.
"Well, if you must know. I'm gonna start my applications to universities this weekend." It grew quiet as he scoffed again at my nerdiness. But soon I thought about hat his mum said to me just last night. "If you wanna chill, how about we meet up Sunday and fill out those applications your mum caught you looking at the other day." He looked to me, and a dry chuckle escaped his lips as he shook his head.
"Of course Mimi told you about that." I nodded my head, but he looked away.
"Austin you have so much potential! You could have such a decorated application!" He scoffed not wanting to hear it.
"You're forgetting about these tattoos all over my body and my record babe." I scoffed.
"Why do you always do that?" He said sitting up. "Why are you always trying to help me?" I just shrugged my shoulders, trying to hide my personal sensitive spot from him.
"Because you remind me a lot of someone I care about who like you, just needed a push in the right direction." He said nothing, and it just grew silent as he stared at me. But Austin being himself was clearly uncomfortable with it, and rose the bowl between us.
"Want a hit?" I just nodded. He took another hit before he gestured for me to lean in. When I did, his hand cupped my cheek before he pressed his lips on mine and softly blew the smoke into my mouth. I closed my eyes, embracing the smoke that quickly filled my lungs. When I slowly opened my eyes, I was surprised to see Austin's face still incredibly close to mine and his hand was still caressing my cheek as well. He kept looking back and forth between my eyes and my lips and as I released the smoke from my mouth, blowing it onto his lips, he closed his eyes and continually brushed my nose with his.
"Please come with me to the party..." He softly said as he opened his eye. I looked into them seeing the same thing I saw last night before he bedded me.
"Why?" I asked, my eyes not leaving his.
"I want you to meet my friends."
"Why?"
"Fuck." He breathed, before he looked back to me and took a brief breather. "Al's last night...it was different." I nodded my head, making his eyebrows furrow a bit. "Yet you've said nothing about it all day. Why?" I chuckled at his cockiness, knowing he was surprised that unlike every other girl, I didn't flock to him like they would have after a night like ours.
"Austin you know me better than most people." I started, his eyes still staring hard into mine. "I live life based off facts and what's logical. So why would I go after a guy like you?" He scoffed, his hand falling into his lap as he looked to me incredibly offended.
"Wow." He said as he slid off the hood of the car. "You're a bitch." I had to laugh at him while he angrily emptied the bowl in the grass and walked towards his car.
"Austin!" He ignored me, and I slid down from the hood of the car myself before I walked over to him. He was about to open the car door when I grabbed his writ and made him turn around to look at me, when he did I pushed him against the car so his back was now leaned on the door. He just looked over my head, avoiding eye contact, as I continued giggling. "Stop being such an insecure little bitch Austin!" He scoffed and finally looked down at me, glaring. I ignored it and slid my hand onto his chest.
"You think I care about your tattoos?" I continued, he said nothing and kept glaring at me. "You think I care that you have a record?" he said nothing again when I did the unthinkable, and actually caressed the side of his face with my hand. This is something I would never do, but after last night and how much I noticed him staring at me in school today, there is just no way he doesn't feel the same way. "I don't care about any of that, but I do care about my vulnerability. He again said nothing, so with that I took a deep breath and after a long 5 months of holding it all in, I just decided to say it. "Fine since you're scared-..." He scoffed, cutting me off.
"I'm not scared of anything."
"Then say it." He stared at me, contemplating "Say it..." I repeated. He glared into my eyes, but I knew he wasn't genuinely mad. He's just not good with being emotional and him admitting this would seriously bring him out of his bad boy image for those 3 seconds.
"Fine," he stared before he took a quick and subtle deep breath. I felt my heart racing as he stood straight up and finally reacted wrapping hi arms around my waist. He pulled me closer to his body, and soon I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm into you Ally..." I smiled, but his face was still completely straight as he waited for my response. I rose my eye and grazed his nose with mine before I bit my lip, trying to contain my excitement.
"I'm into you too." A small smile was finally starting to break on his face before he rested his forehead on mine and held me tighter.
"Then please, come with me to this party..." I bit my lip, and my smile slightly altered remembering how we even got on this subject. "Ally, you have to meet my friends if we decide to take this to the next level." I sighed, hating that he was right. But a smile formed on my face as I also realized what he had just said.
"The next level?" He bit his lip, nodding. "Meaning?" He playfully rolled his eyes.
"You're playing dumb Ally." I chuckled, hearing his annoyance. "Take what you got from it." I nodded my head, still smiling. I'm content with what I got. "So? Are you coming?" I sighed again, when I thought of a compromise.
"Yeah I'll go." The biggest smile he's shown me all night appeared on his face before he leaned in, trying to kiss me but I leaned away, earning a groan from him.
"On one condition."
"What?"
"Sunday we hang out." He scoffed, nodding his head at what seems like a simple request.
"Fine."
I smiled my biggest one before he laughed and leaned in, grazing my lip with his. "Can I get my kiss now?" I nodded my head before he fully pressed his lips on mine, and we were both smiling through it before it became a full on snogging session. But it wasn't sloppy. Like last night it was emotional, and I could tell that for the first time ever, Austin wasn't aiming for the belt...
But the feeling of my simple kiss instead.
