I want you bad

Chapter 2

**Austin’s p.o.v**

I had been a bundle of nerves through my first three hours, thinking about Ally, after arguing with myself for the last half hour I finally convinced myself to ask if she wanted to hang out this weekend with Elliot, Dez, and me, so I’d get a chance to get to know her, the weekend was only a day away, seeing as today was Friday.

I meet up with Elliot and Dez on my way to lunch.

“Hey, do you guys mind if I invite Ally bowling with us tomorrow?” I ask.

“That’d be SWEET!” Dez replies in his usual over perky tone.

“Yea, I don’t mind…I’ve been thinking about asking her to go with us too.” Elliot replies.

Wait…did Elliot like Ally?

**Ally’s p.o.v**

I met up with Trish on my way to the cafeteria.

“Hey Ally!” she greets me with a smile.

“Hi!” I say.

“Are you ok?” she asks, raising an eyebrow.

“Yea, fine, why do you ask?” I reply.

“Because the way you’re smiling is kinda creeping me out.” She replies.

“Oh, sorry, I was thinking about Elliot, he’s SO cute!” I gush.

Her mouth widens and then turns to a grin.

“No WAY! You like Elliot?” she asks.

“Well, I don’t know…I guess…is it weird for me to start liking him so soon?” I ask.

“Not TOO weird I guess.” She replies.

“Oh, that weird huh.” I reply, my smile slightly fading.

“Not weird, it’s just; most of the girls here usually drool over Austin.” She replies.

“Well…he is pretty cute too.” I smile, blushing slightly.

“but I don’t know, Elliot seems different to me somehow, Austin seems like the typical, I don’t know, popular guy who probably already has a girlfriend, so I didn’t want to be weird and crush over him.” I reply quickly.

“HA!” Trish laughs loudly.

“If Austin WAS a popular do you think he’d be hanging with people like Dez, and I? Kira and Cassidy’s type SHUN us.” She finishes.

“So you’re saying Austin DOESN’T have a girlfriend?” I ask.

“No, he doesn’t, though Cassidy would like to change that, but he’s not interested in girls like that.” She replies.

“What about Elliot?” I ask.

“KIRA likes Elliot, but he’s like Austin, he’s not into girls like that, so he’s not really interested.” She replies.

“And Dez?” I ask.

“Dez is just a doof, I’m not really sure where he fits in, but he’s Austin’s best friend so you know he just kinda hangs with us.”

I laugh.

“We heard our names, so here we are!” Austin exclaims behind us, wrapping his arms around me playfully.

Dez following close behind.

“What are you guys talking about?” Elliot asks.

“I was just giving Ally the 411.” Trish replies with a grin.

“Ah, what kind of 411?” Austin asks.

“Dating, the queen bees, and, stuff.” Trish replies.

“Just so you know, Elliot and I are single.” Austin, who is now walking backwards in front of me, winks.

“Wow, smooth.” I reply jokingly raising my eyebrows

“And I know, Trish already told me.” I finish with a grin.

We are now walking through the lunch line; I grab a tray and a plate and follow the others down the line.

Picking up a piece of pizza, yogurt, and a bottle of water.

Finally we take our seats.

Me between Austin and Elliot, Dez next to Austin, and Trish next to Elliot.

“So Ally, Austin and I were wondering, would you like to go bowling with us and Dez tomorrow?”

“Yea, that sounds like fun!” I reply.

“Sweet!” Dez replies.

“My mom is dropping us off; we’ll swing by your house tomorrow around noon.” Elliot replies.

I nod my head.

“Sounds like fun!” I exclaim.

“So, where are you from?” Austin asks.

“Me and my mom just moved here from Miami.” I reply.

“Miami? What the heck are you guys doing here?” Austin asks.

“well a few months ago my mom and dad got divorced, mom quit her old job, and the new job she got made her move up here and since I’m only 16 and can’t ‘make my own decisions’ felt like she had to drag me along with her.” I reply.

“That’s too bad, my parents got divorced about three years ago, I moved up here from Texas with my dad.” Elliot replies.

“Well, it’s not QUITE as bad here as I thought it would be, I’m not liking the snow very much though.” I smile.

Everyone else laughs.

Before long lunch is over, I say goodbye to my new friends and go to my next class.

**later at home**

**Ally’s p.o.v**

When the bus pulls up to the house, I see mom and some moving guys still moving things from the van.

I get off the bus and go inside.

“Hey honey, how was school?” mom asks as I open the fridge and grab an apple.

“Pretty good, I made some new friends, Trish, Dez, and then Austin and Elliot, who invited me to go bowling with them tomorrow afternoon…is that ok?” I ask, eyeing the boxes of unpacked living room decorations and kitchen supplies.

“Of course! I’ll get things cleaned up here fine enough on my own, go have some fun!” she exclaims.

“Awesome!” I reply.

I pick up my backpack and head upstairs.

When I get to my room I see that my bed, my bookshelf, and my dresser and desk have all been set up, the boxes labeled with my name, and contents, piled up along the back wall.

I find the box labeled ‘blankets and sheets’ and proceed to make my bed.

Thinking about Elliot.

Though Austin kept coming up in my thoughts as well.
