YES! It's the last week of school! That means I can write! Finally!

Dez: That's right! I'm back! The monkey is defeated! Ready to answer my question?

Emmyreds: Not really. Rather, I'm here to steer your mind into a new direction. And trust me, it's not gonna be hard.

Dez: What new direction?

Emmyreds: Freak out – wrestling penguins.

Dez: Whoa! I'm gonna head over to the zoo!

Emmyreds: You do that! That was way too easy. I don't own anything.

"You nervous?"
"Yeah." I am currently in Austin's house helping him get ready for his date. My heart does weird flips every time I hear or think of the word "date". That is how sad my situation is right now. I sighed.

His bedroom reminds of a man cave. A musical man cane. Sure there's M.A.C.H.O.* stuff, but there's a lot of musical instruments in here, too. But mostly guitars. One of the many reasons I've come to admire him-for his love of music.

"Ally, when are you gonna tell me?" Austin looked at me intensely through the mirror.
"Tell you what?" he raised an eyebrow. "Oh, that."

Ever since he found out I like someone, he's wanted to know who it was. I can't muster up enough courage to tell him it's him.

Still, it's still fun teasing him.

"Um . . . can I just give you another hint?"
Austin rolled his eyes. "Hints, hints, hints! First, he has kind eyes, and then he has hair that flops just the right way, and next he smells like a fresh summer breeze. What does that even mean? I know a lot of guys like that!"

He turned around to look at me. His eyes were crossed. "That came out the wrong way." I laughed but chewed my hair thoughtfully. "What?" I tilted my head. "I don't want to tell you the next hint. It's too obvious."
He shrugged. "Well, I'm kinda nervous because of this date, so I probably won't notice anything." He turned back to the mirror. I took a deep breath. "He's named after a city in Texas."
"Really? That's the hint you give me? You know I stink at Geography!"
I smirked. "That's why I gave the hint."
"Oh! I almost forgot!" he reached into his pocket and pulled out a jellybean and tossed it at me.
"Really?"
"No sigh goes un-jellybeaned."
"Austin! It's almost time for your date!"
"Okay, Mom!" he sat down on the bed next to me. "Ally, I don't know what to do. What if I mess up? She'll think I'm a total dork."
I put a hand on his shoulder. "Whatever happens, it's for the best."
"I guess that's supposed to calm me down."
"Yes."

We stood up and I put my hand on the doorknob before Austin's hand on my wrist stopped me.
"Ally, can I-"
"Austin, whatever it is, you know the answer is yes."
He kissed me on the cheek. My eyes widened.
He looked at the floor. "Thanks Ally."
"No . . . problem." I said, still shocked that he kissed my cheek. I walked outside with him.
"Well . . . bye."
"Bye." I walked away.
When I looked over my shoulder, Austin was still standing there, with this goofy smile on his face.
What?!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Austin did not just do that! Since I just wrote it . . . I guess he did.

*M.A.C.H.O. means Men Acting Childish, Horrible and Obnoxious. Feel free to call your big brother that when he's trying to look fresh and he's failing miserably.

Thanks to school, I haven't looked at my reviews in a looooooong time. OMG. I just looked at the reviews. 41? Sweet!

Let's start!

mistflower-(chapter 7)Thank you!

the-auslly-shipper-Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! That's what a cockblock is! Relax! Don't cry! I don't write tragedies!

arianapa1216-Me neither! Except I'm the one writing the story, and I know what will happen next, so . . . yeah.

Harmonious Wolf-Ah, yes, it's that time again, when reviewers use words that author does not know. Please in the next review, tell me what the heck a problematic is. Thank you.

jarlcarriers-I don't know. But it's okay to be cliché once in a while.

K-Cat-Okay! But it's affect. Or is it effect? Hmm . . . I'll get back to you on that.

Ashley707868-(chapter 2) [first post] One thing's for sure-the song rocks!
(chapter 4) [second post] I skipped 6th grade, so that should be the Question of the Week!

And the 30th reviewer is arianapa1216! Congratulations!

And the Question of the Week is . . . does your have 6th grade dance? There's no right answer, so there's no winner either.

I'm outie!
