I stand there scowling at my reflection in the mirror. Why oh why won't my hair behave? It's a mess. Damn. There's nothing in the world I hate more than a bad hair day. Oh well, I guess its not that big of a deal. It's just Austin coming to stay with us for two weeks. OOOH Austin! I finally get to see my best friend for the first time in practically a year. I can't believe he's been in Miami for so long....
"Blair! Come on it's time to go to the airport! Austin's flight is going to be here in thirty minutes and I promised Michele that I'd pick him up on time while she finishes up her business in Florida." my dad calls from the bottom of the stairs.
"Okay! Coming!" I yell back. Dammit. There's no time to fix this mess. I haven't even gotten dressed yet. I hastily pulled my hair back into a ponytail and found a tshirt and some leggings. There. Then people will just think I'm going to the gym or something after. Which is acceptable. I think...
"BLAIR! LETS GO!" my dad calls again.
Shit. I'm out of time. "Fine! I'm coming! Sheesh!" I grab my purse and pull on some tennis shoes and run down the stairs. "I'm ready now!" I say as I trip down the last four steps.

As I sit in the passenger seat as my dads driving, I stare out the window watching the clouds. I wonder what Austin looks like now... I wonder if he actually got his braces off.. Or was he just lying.. He’s always lying to me... I wonder how tall he is now.. When he left he was already five inches taller than me. I bet he's even taller now... Oh Austin. Will it be awkward? Nahh, we've been best friends since we were in diapers.
"Dad, how long until we're there?" I ask, impatiently.
"Probably like twenty minutes. Maybe more if there's traffic." he replies, focused on the road.
"Okay," I close my eyes to take a nap. What else is there to do?

"Here babe, you can have the last chocolate covered strawberry" Austin says, as he feeds it to me. "Just kidding! I want it." He smirks.
"Hey! You're a jerk" I giggle.
"I was kidding about the kidding." He smiles.
"Um then why'd you already take a bite of it??" I pout.
"So when I actually feed it to you, it will be like an indirect kiss. Because my lips will have been on it" he says feeding me the strawberry. Or what was left of the strawberry...
"Austin, you're a dork." I tease, eating the rest of the strawberry. "That was a nice kiss, but I think I want a direct one"
"Of course baby," he says leaning in to kiss me.
"Wait do you hear that?" I sit up looking around.
"What?" he asked me.
"It sounds like my dad... what's he doing here??" I question, puzzled.

“Blair? Blair! We’re here! Let’s go.”
“What? I’m tired... Five more minutes... There’s no school today... Its still summer...” I muttered drowsily.
“We’re at the airport! Remember? Austin? Staying with us for a couple weeks?” my dad told me, laughing.
“What?! AUSTIN’S HERE? WHERE?!” I immediately jump up looking around.
“You’re not gonna find him here Blair we’re in the airports parking garage...”
“Oh. I knew that. Well lets go then!” I hop out of the car.
“Ready to see your best friend?” he asked, smiling.
“DUH!” I yelp with excitement. "Do you think he got off the plane yet??"
"How am I supposed to know, you're the one whos always texting him.." my dad replied.
"Oh yeah. Lemme text him real quick" I say, taking my phone out of my purse.

Me: Aus10 are you here yet?!?!
Austin: Yeah but we're still in the air. About to land I think.
Me: Why the heck are you on your phone then??
Austin: I do what I want. I'm Austin Mahone.
Me: Wow Austin. Ooookay if you say so. Don't die. By the way, what are you wearing? So I can find you easier.
Austin: Die before I see you? No way. Okay we're landing now. And I'm wearing a yellow and blue shirt.
Me: YAYAYAYAY! We're waiting at the baggage claim for your slow ass right now.
Austin: Um I think my ass is pretty great, thanks.
Me: Whatever. Hurry up!
Austin: Okay see you in an hour :)
Me: What????
Me: Austin Mahone you better be kidding.
Me: Did the plane crash because you were texting or..?
Me: AUSTINNNNN?????????
"Blair," my dad calls.
"Hush daddy I'm waiting for Austin to text me back." I say as I look around for Austin. "I think he died or something he hasn't texted me- AHHH!" I scream as someone clamps their hands over my eyes. "Help meeeeeeeee!"
"Guess who?!" A familiar voice says behind me.
"Justin Bieber?!?! Oh my godddddddddddd!" I tease, pushing his hands off my eyes. "AUSTIN YOU LITTLE SHIT I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" I wrap my arms around him and hug him tightly.
He kisses me on my forehead, "I've missed you too Blair! I can't wait to stay with y'all for two whole weeks!"
I've missed this feeling so much. I forgot how warm he was. And dang. His arms. When did he get so muscular? Mmmm..
"Why so quiet Blair? This is so unusual. What's wrong with you...?? Are you sick?" Austin teased me.
I flush, suddenly remembering my dream of our picnic I had on our way here. What's wrong with me? Austin's like a brother to me. This is weird. "Hmm? What are you talking about? I'm just tired! And you're not even wearing a yellow and blue shirt! Are you color blind? Your shirt is black! Gosh! You made me so worried asshole!" I say, quickly turning away so he wouldn't see my red as a tomato face. "Grab your bags lazy ass and lets gooooooooooooooooo!"
I try to pick up one of his billions of suitcases and drag it across the floor. Dammit this is heavy.
"Blair, do you need some help with that?" he asked.
"NO I CAN DO IT MYSELF!" I demand. "You go carry your other bags"
"Okaaaaay Blair, whatever you say..." Austin laughs.
Hmph. How dare he think I'm weak. I go to the gym! Like twice a week... Or every two weeks.. Or every month... Whatever. I'll show him. I pick up his suitcase and continue dragging it across the airports clean white shiny floors.
From behind me, I hear Austin asking my dad "what's with her? Is she mad at me or something? Why's she acting so weirdly??"
Hmph.
But really, I don't know. Why am I acting so weirdly? Its just Austin. Do I like him? Naah that's impossible. But I did have that dream.. Hmm.. Nah. I don't. That'd be like dating my brother. But Austin's sooo cute. Why am I such a girl? Okay. I'm gonna try and be as normal as I can be now. I wonder how that's gonna work out for me.
