Beautiful Yet Doubtful -Austin Mahone FanFic-

Chapter 3

  

   *Avery's P.O.V.*

I slide in the back seat of Soph's car and we head off towards the mall. When we arrive, we all pretty much go our separate ways- Brooke goes into Forever Twenty-One, Soph goes into Wet Seal, and then I go into Hollister. When I go into Hollister- I swear they should offer gas masks and a flashlight or something- I spot the most gorgeous dress for formal that's coming up in about two weeks. It is a coral, knee length, strapless dress. When I look at the price, I just know that it is worth it.

Once I check out, I walk around the mall and get some Dippin' Dots. After I finish those - which were very yummy- I decide to walk into American Eagle. For some reason, it's pretty crowded today..That's when I see what's going on. Austin. A whole crowd of people has him and some other guy around our age pinned onto the floor, with his fist in the air. I notice that there are some younger girls in the back trying to get a hold of security but it's not working out all that good.

I can't keep watching this anymore. Pushing through the crowd of people I somehow manage to pull Austin off of the other guy when I realize that it's Jacob Mark, the other junior from my Pre-Calc class. As I push Austin off of Jacob, I kneel down beside him and ask him if he's okay. "Ye-yeah," He says while putting the back of his hand to his nose to try and stop the bleeding, "I'm fine, thanks.." "Yeah of course. No problem Jacob.." I reply.. He actually seems really sweet.. "How do you know me?" "Oh. You're in my Pre-Calc class. I'm Avery.. Ha-Ha.." After I tell him, he seems to know who I am and gives a thoughtful smile in return. He finally stands up and brushes his self off, then one of the worker's hands him a tissue .

"Avery Thompson..." I hear come from behind me and I walk out with Jacob. When I turn around, it had to be Austin.. "What do you want, Austin?" I sigh- he won't give up because now he's following me as I walk out of the store and down to Starbucks -yeah, here in Florida, we have a Starbucks in our mall- He's close behind, so people are giving me weird looks as I look straight ahead and talk to no one in front of me, since I'm clearly talking to Austin - who is behind me - ."You know, you really shouldn't have done what you did back there." Jacob has no part in this conversation- he's pretty much just acted like Ausin's not even following us.

When I , well we, arrive in Starbucks, we're greeted by a very cheery teenage looking girl. "Hi! Welcome to Starbucks, what would you like today?" I'm the only one that orders since I have one person and a jerk following me like lost puppies. "Ermm.. One Carmel macchiato, please." "Okay! Coming right up! That will be $5.47." I had her exact change, then take a seat that is made for only two people. So, whoever wants to sit can. Let's just hope that it's not Austin.. Ahh. It's Jacob! But of course, Austin pulls a chair away from some other table -people were sitting at that table too!- "Why are you even here, Austin?" You know, I've actually handled myself pretty well on account Austin hasn't killed me yet. But trust me, on the outside, I'm perfectly calm, but on the inside.. well.. I'm panicking like crazy..

"Jacob. Best you leave. Now." Austin snaps. I actually feel pretty sorry for Jacob, I mean I was starting to get to know him and all, but now Austin just has to ruin everything. I look up at Jacob and just shrug, giving him a small smile. I can tell that he knows I have no say in this, so he just gives a slight nod and walks out. "Can't I just sit here in peace without you?" "Nahh. I prefer to stay." He snaps. "Carmel Macchiato !?" I push my chair back, then go up to the counter. "Thanks." "You're welcome! Have a great day!" I swear, the boss here loves to make the workers over cheerful.

I head straight for the door, knowing I have everything I brought in here and also hoping that he won't notice me. I sigh when I feel someone grab a hold of my wrist and stop me in my tracks. "Look. I know we're not the best of friends, but let's hang out sometime OK?" He says while handing me his number.Wait.. Austin -The 'Bad Boy'- gave me his number? "Erm.. uhh.. okay.."

  *************

  Eventually Soph, Brooke, and I met up in front of PacSun and then headed out to Soph's car. I left with about five bags from Hollister, Abercrombie, and American Eagle. Brooke left with about three -I'm not sure from where- and then Soph left with about six bags. Overall we did pretty good. We grab a bite to eat from Olive Garden before we go back to Soph's house; we each got some fettucini alfredo and a coke.

  *************

  "Hey Mom? Yeah. Could I stay the night with Soph?" I speak into my phone. "Yeah sure, honey. Just be careful, Ok?" "Ok Mom.." I hang up right when we pull into Soph's driveway. We each grab our bags and put them up in Soph's room. I haven't told them about Austin giving me his number yet, because I'm pretty sure they'll freak out. "Hey, uh guys?" I finally say, getting ready to tell them and see their outburst. "Yeah." They both say at the same time. "Erm.. Well.. Austin gave me his number.."

 "WHAT?!"

  Yeah I was prepared for that... So I explain to them everything that happened and they still have this alien confused look on their faces. We end up changing the subject and decide to show each other the dresses we got for the formal. Of course I would be the one that's still single and doesn't have a date for the formal.

  After a while, my phone buzzes and Soph and Brooke are in the kitchen making something.. Luckily her parents are out of town, so whatever they're doing, they won't get caught. When I look down at my phone, it reads- 

  Text From: Jacob: Hey(: What's Up?

   Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I gave him my number before he left Starbucks..

  Text To: Jacob: Hey! Nothin much. You?

  It pretty much just goes on as a normal conversation, so I decide to text Mr. Bad Boy and see what he has to say.

 Text To: Mr. Bad Boy: Hey, It's Avery.

 Text From: Mr. Bad Boy: Heyy. I didn't think u would text me.

  Text To: Mr. Bad Boy: Well, I wanted to see what you were gonna say and all.

  Text From: Mr. Bad Boy: Oo. Well, anyways meet me at the city park tomorrow around noon. Ok?

  I don't want to go, so I heasitate for a moment then finaly reply- 'Ok.'
