Chapter 3-Dinner
Austin's POV
I decide to wear my plain white T-shirt with my red leather jacket and my ripped jeans. I put my whistle necklace on and spay some AXE on. I run a hand though my hair and look at myself in the mirror. I put on my red high tops and walk downstairs after I grab my phone. I hear voices. I get to the dinning room and see other people sitting down. I see a woman that has light brown hair and dark brown eyes, a man with grayish hair and green eyes, a girl with long straight black hair with green eyes, another girl with brown hair and amber highlights and dark chocolate eyes, and finally, a little boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes. WAIT! That girl and that boy were those jerks at the beach! Why are they here!?
"Oh! Austin! Come meet the Dawsons! Everyone! This is my son, Austin Moon." my mom says in a cheery voice. Im so glad she forgot to say my middle name. She pushes me forward as they all stand up and gather around. "Hello young man, Im Lester Dawson." says the man. "Nice to meet you, sir." I shake his hand and he pats my back. I turn to the woman. "Hello, my name's Penny Dawson." "It's so nice to meet you, Mrs. Dawson." I shake her hand. Then I turn to the girl. Before I could say anything, she squeals. "OMG! It's Austin Moon!" i cover my ears. Is she trying to make me deaf? She jumps up and down. Then she hugs me. More like crushes me. "Can't breath." i try to say. She lets go. "Im Alejandra Moon!" she says. Wait! Did she say Moon? " Uh? Moon? I thought you were a Dawson." I say as i back away. "Well, i will be soon." she gets closer. "OK?" I turn to someone else so I don't have to talk to the crazy fan. It's the little jerk. "Um? Hi. Im..." he sounds a little shy. "Azul." I turn to see the brunette. "It's Azul. He's a little shy." she says. WHOA WHOA WHOA! WAIT! She speaks english!? That little-UGH! She's gonna pay. Soon...
"Nice to meet you Azul." I said through gritted teeth. I turn back to the brunette. "And you are?" I say with the same tone. "Im Ally Dawson. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." she says as she sticks out her hand to shake mine. She definitely doesn't recognize me. I shake her hand and force a smile. "You too." I try my best not to yell at her. But I will have time for that later. I just need to get through this dinner.
Ally's POV
I can't believe it! Mimi Moon! The sweet Mimi Moon! Has a terrible, evil, jerky son like him! It shocks me. Not only that but it's Austin Moon! Alejandra has been squealing, fangirling, screaming, jumping, running, crying, whining, annoying me, researching, stalking, daydreaming, dreaming, thinking, singing over this guy!? This is so shocking. Good thing i am a good actress. I am in the drama club at school so i have some experience. Otherwise, i would have kicked his jerky butt. But i forced a good enough smile and a friendly attitude. It took a lot of work but i managed to be polite to him. Dinner was good. I gotta admit, Mimi was an AMAZING cook.
I see Alicia trying to reach the bread. I grab the bread and hand it to her. She smiles. "Thank you, Ally. I seriously think you have the most kindest, beautiful girl in the whole world. She is so amazing" Alicia says to my parents. "Me? Nah. You are the nicest, wisest person Ive ever met. You are amazing." I say. She smiles. "Thank you. Mimi, this is the girl i was talking about! She's so humble. Isn't she?" Mimi nods. "Very. I wish Austin could be a little more like her." she says. Austin's eyes widen. "WHAT!?" he yells. "Austin..." Mike warns. He gives him the be-nice-or-you-will-be-dead-meat look. He sighs then smiles. "I mean, you're right. I should start bring more like her." Mimi beams. "Good! You guys could have little play dates! Maybe Ally can rub off on you." Mimi says in her same cheery voice. Austin slumps in his chair. "Whatever." He mutters. This will be fun...
Austin's POV
I officially hate Ally. First she yells at me in front of everyone, now my parents say i should be more like that little angel Ally. Please! If anything, she's a devil! I am NOT gonna go on 'play dates' with her. Heck. To. The. No. I just sit their quietly while they go on about how great Ally is. I would have been eating pancakes at the beach with Dez, Trent, Elliot, and Dallas. Instead, I'm here dining with another family who's daughter is a she-devil and eating something called 'tamale'. WHERE'S MY PANCAKES!? I sigh. I miss home. I can't wait for this month to end. Meanwhile, Im stuck. Stuck in this hot, filthy place my parents call 'home'. I will never call this place home. This place is nothing to me. It will never be.
"Austin?" My mom snaps me out of my thoughts. "Yes?" They all look at me. "Eat your tamale. It's so good. You'll love it." I look at the tamale. It looks disgusting! "No thanks. Im not hungry." But of coarse, my stupid stomach had to grumble. My mother looks at my stomach then at me. "Nice try. Eat. Now." They go back to eating. I look at the tamale again. Im NOT gonna eat this. "I'm really not that hungry." I stand up then leave to the backyard. The backyard is nice. It has a little pond. Some flowers and trees. We have a huge backyard. I sit on the wooden bench near the pond. I'm still hating it here. I can't wait for this month to end. I can go back with the boys and my hot girlfriend.
"This sucks." I mutter. "What sucks?" I jump. I look over to see the she-devil. "Nothing." She sighs and sits down. "I'm not stupid." I roll my eyes. "Yeah you are. You don't seem to remember some things." I say a little meaner. "Actually, I know exactly who you are. You're the jerk from the beach." She says. I snap my head up. "You know who I am!?" She nods. "Then why didn't you say anything!?" She takes out a plate of tamales. "I didn't want the Moons to worry. Here, your mom wants you to eat." She hands me the plate. "Yeah, like they care about me. Also, I'm NEVER gonna eat this." I shove the plate back to her. She sighs. "Believe it or not, they do care about you and i care about them. You need to be thankful of what you have." I laugh. "What are you? My mom? You can't tell me what to do." She rolls her eyes. "Why are you so negative?" I raise my eyebrow. "Me? Negative? Pfft! No! Im not negative! Im just mad! I don't wanna be here! They made me come! Now I have to stay in this filthy place while my friends and girlfriend are having the time of their lives!" She gets up. "You just got here! You don't know this place! Mexico is beautiful! The people here are very wise! But some are poor like my family! Your family has money to live their wonderful lives! They are great people! They help us! But you can't see that they are doing what is best for you and others!" I back away. She calms down and sits back down. Her eyes are glued to the pond.
"Sorry." She mutters. I look at the plate of tamales. I grab one and shove it in my mouth and start to chew. She looks back up at me. I shut my eyes and swallow. I open my eyes and see her watching me with a shocked expression. "Whoa. It's not so bad." She smiles and I do too. "Austin, you ate mine. That one is spicy." My eyes widen as the burning sensation starts on my tongue. I open my mouth and stick out my tongue. I point to it and panic. "Need! Water!" She laughs. Then holds up a cold water bottle. "What? This?" I nod my head voraciously. Then I reach out to grab it but she pulls it away. "Please!" I yell. Her smile widens. "I don't know. Im kinda thirsty" She opens the water bottle. My eyes widen even more. She is about to drink it but i lunge at her. She falls backwards but grabs my arms, but then I lose my balance. Ally screamed when we continued to fall into the pond.
The coldness of the pond makes me shiver. At least my tongue isn't burning anymore. I reach the surface and begin to breath again. I rub my eyes and look around. Wait! Where's Ally? I splash around and look all around. "Ally? Ally! Ally, are you there!?" Oh no! Is she still down there!? "Gotcha!" I scream and she pushes me back down the water. I get back up and glare. "What the heck!?" She laughs. "Oh come on! You gotta admit it that was fun!" I look at her in disbelief. "Fun!? You thought that was fun!? You just ruined another shirt! What were you thinking!?" Her smile fades. "Oh." She looks down. Then swims back to ground. She walks back inside not even saying another word. What the heck just happened?...
