Chapter 6- She Doesn't Fall
The usual disclaimer note and such. Now, let's begin!
Austin's POV
I slump on my bed and comb my fingers through my hair. Well that was a horrible last day. First, Ally blows me off again and then she storms away after the scene in music class. I mean, in my defence, I honestly did not plan for that whole group of girls to come surround me. But, apparently the event finally made Ally snap. I guess she could though. I have been pushing her for four months and being the only girl who doesn't like me is probably really hard considering I show up everywhere.
I sigh and get ready for bed, glad that it was at least winter break now. I had one week all to myself and my thoughts. Maybe I could even get to walk around Miami- my old home- and see how it has changed. But, I couldn't do that. I was quite famous- if I could say so myself- and would be spotted instantly. Just as I thought that, the expected noise comes from outside my window and I hear shouts.
You see, ever since that attack at school, the principle and manager of the company have agreed that they could not come to school and take pictures. It would just be too distracting. So instead, now, they have scheduled an hour after school ends to come and surround my house until night time. Only problem for them is that I haven't gone outside yet, only exception is when I buy groceries but I try to do that on weekends or before school. I am smart you know.
But, now that school is out for a while, I am going to be completely bored with nothing to do. I blink and realize how tired I am. It took some getting used to, to the high school life and even after four months, I was still shocked with the amount of homework.
I blink again and then move to get comfortable in my bed. I sigh with the warmth of the covers and decide to think of my plan tomorrow. Then, I slowly drift asleep with the chatters and clicking of cameras outside.
Next morning…
I yawn and wake up to the smell of pancakes. Mmm. My favourite. Then, my eyes snap wide with fear and I almost roll off the bed. I didn't make any pancakes. Why do I smell pancakes?! I think this while also reaching for my phone. I was going to call the police. Then, I hear familiar singing come from downstairs and I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders when I know who it is. I quickly jump out of bed and make my way into my bathroom. I hurriedly brush my teeth and get dressed, wanting to head downstairs quick because even though I know the person downstairs, I don't know now he got in.
When I am done, I race down the stairs and then go to the kitchen. I walk in and am greeted with mix covering the counters and a stack of pancakes on a plate. Then, I raise my eyes and see Dez standing in front of the stove, singing a random string of words and flipping another warm pancake. I smile and walk up to him.
"Hey Dez. What's up?" I ask while reaching for the plate stacked high. He turns to me and just nods his head while he continues singing. I decide to question him later and just sit at my table to eat the pancakes.
After I was done, I put my plate in the sink and walk into my living room to see Dez on the couch, watching some random sitcom.
"Hey Dez, so thanks for the pancakes but, why are you here?" Then, I add as an afterthought, "how did you even get in here?" Dez chuckles and turns to face me.
"You're welcome, man. And, it's not really that hard to see the spare key hiding in the bushes." I smile sheepishly and remind myself to find a better hiding space later.
"And, as for why I'm here, Dallas told me to tell all the players that the football meeting we were having is now cancelled." I nod after hearing this.
"Dez, you know you could've called instead right?" I say, gesturing to my phone in my pocket. Dez suddenly turns red and jumps up, off the couch.
"I actually didn't think of that. Well, I'm glad you're the first person I have told. Thanks, man." I smile and then Dez lets himself out.
Great. Now my exciting morning and only company is gone. I walk up to my bedroom and pace around. Then, I walk to look out my window and my eyes light up. I have absolutely no idea how I have not noticed in four months but, across my house and a far distance away, I could see an area covered with sand and the sun's reflection was shining on the water. A beach.
I smile and turn to get ready but suddenly stop. The paparazzi. I groan and wished they would stop bothering me. Then, an idea came to mind. Something so risky that I was sure it wouldn't work. But, I was a teenager and I had to have fun. Besides, I can't just find a beach on the first day of break and not go. I would just have to be careful with my actions and make sure no one saw me entering and leaving the house. Yeah, this was going to work… I think. So, I walk to my drawer and find what I need.
Ally's POV
I wake up and immediately feel bored. Man, it was only the first day of break. I had to do something. I walk downstairs and see that my dad had already left for his convention. I sigh and then, an idea pops into my mind. I pick up my cell phone and dial Trish's number.
"Hey Trish. How's it going?" I ask, already getting excited over what I had planned.
"Oh, hey Ally! What's up?" I hear Trish's voice through the phone saying what I had hoped she would say.
"Nothing much, but since we haven't hung out in a while, do you want to come with me to the beach? We could have a girl's day!" I say this and wait anxiously for her answer, and it doesn't take long.
"Sure Ally! That'd be fun. How about I meet at your house in an hour?" I smiled and told Trish yes. Then, we hung up and I went to get ready.
Austin's POV
I fix my shades and look at my lame attempt to be unrecognizable. But, hopefully, no one would notice because they would be too busy enjoying themselves. I smile at myself one last time in the mirror before grabbing my towel and heading to my car.
