It's Sunday and I have nothing to do. I can't text anyone because I don't have a phone. Cherry isn't home. I cleaned the house already. I'm going for a walk. I put my shoes on and walk out of the house. I go to the park and just sit on the swings enjoying the fresh air. I look to my right and see a familiar car. Austin. I stand up and run to him. He is at a stop sign so I had some time.
"Ally?" He says.
"Hey."
"Get in." I get in his car and he drives off. "What are you doing?"
"I went for a walk to the park. I got bored."
"Well, come with me."
"Where are we going?"
"Are you hungry?" I smile. "I'll take that as a yes." We drive until Austin parks his car in front of a restaurant. We go inside and a waitress takes our order of food. We wait until the food is ready.
"I got you something when we went to the mall."
"What? You were with me the entire time. How come I never noticed?"
"I could ask you the exact same thing but obviously you don't know what I got you."
"No, I don't."
"So, I have realized that you are missing something and that you really need it. Well I think you need it."
"What?"
"Here." Austin puts a box on top of the table and slides it towards me.
"What is it?"
"Open it." I lift the lid and I do t believe it.
"You got me a phone?"
"Yeah. It's got a contract and here I have something else for you." He slides a silvery green phone case towards me. "I got you a phone case in your favorite colour. It also has a pickle on it."
"Thanks you so much Austin." I stand up so he can hug me. He gets up and we hug. I realized that we hugged too long because people were staring. "Thank you. How will I repay you?"
"You don't have to." The food comes and we eat. After we are finished eating Austin pays for the food and we go outside. "Do you want to go to my house?"
"Sure." I say. We head to his house and I bring in my new phone. "Is anyone home?" I ask once we get into his house.
"No. We are alone. My mom is probably out grocery shopping."
"Cool." I turn on my phone. Wow, I won't get used to that. My phone. "I can't believe you got me a phone."
"Can I see it for a sec?"
"Sure." I had him my phone and he starts tapping on the screen. I can see what he's doing though.
"There. I just added my mom and I's cell numbers in there. And my house phone number. If you need to contact any of us I gave you all the options. And maybe if you want to text."
"Thank you so much Austin. You are the best friend ever." I hug him again. I here the door open and we look over the couch and see the Bernadette home.
"Hey Ally. Your here."
"Hey, Bernadette." She told me to call her that instead of Ms. Moon. She says it makes her feel younger. This family is awesome.
"Why don't you kids go bring in the groceries."
"Okay, mom." Austin says. We go and grab the groceries and bring them into the kitchen. I help them put them away and Austin and I go upstairs. "I wrote another song."
"Can I listen to it please?"
"Of course. Since I wrote it for you."
"You wrote a song for me? No ones ever done that before."
"Well, now they have."
Things Are Looking Up- R5
You were a business, I was a start up
You were like high speed, I was on dial up
I needed caffeine, you were a Starbucks
A Starbucks
(A double-shot)
You were a record, I was a remix
You were the sunshine, I was a rain check
You needed time but you were my Rolex
My Rolex (my Rollie)
I couldn't get it right
'Til you opened up my eyes
You turn my whole world upside down (two, three, four)
Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
Even when I'm down
Had about enough
Lookin' at the ground
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
You were a diamond, I was a coal mine
You were a free-way, I was a stop sign
I was a pay check, you're like a gold mine, a gold mine (money, money)
I couldn't get it right
'Til you opened up my eyes
You turned my whole world upside down (two, three, four)
Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
Even when I'm down
Had about enough
Lookin' at the ground
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
[2x]
I've been up and I've been down
Girl you make my world go 'round
There's nothin' like the high I found
Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
Even when I'm down
Had about enough
Lookin' at the ground
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin'
Things are lookin' up
Things are lookin' up
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
Even when I'm down
Had about enough
Lookin' at the ground
I couldn't find a star in the sky
But now that I found us
Things are lookin' up
"Thank you so much! I will cherish this song forever."
Austin smiles. "I'm glad you liked it. I meant every word."
"Thanks. You are the best."
"I have someone you should meet. She's a good friend of mine and she goes to our school. You will meet her tomorrow at school."
"Okay."
