The Blizzard Competition
"Did you just say, Austin Moon?" Trish asked since I was in too much shock to say anything.
"Yeah, why?" Rydel asked. All eyes were on the two of us and frankly, I didn't care.
Trish ignored her and turned her attention to me. "You okay, Als?" I shook my head.
"He's gonna hate me when he finds out we're not in California." I said quietly.
"Wait, that's the Austin you were talking about?" Rocky asked and I nodded. "Well that's a coincidence."
"More like bad luck." I muttered.
I sat on the couch and put my head in my hands. I felt a hand on my back and looked up to see Trish.
"How mad do you think he's gonna be?" I asked quietly. She shrugged.
"Maybe he won't be mad at all." I stood up and started pacing.
"Trish, I've never lied to him before and when he finds out about this, he's gonna hate me." I said quickly.
"Als, stop it." Rydel said grabbing my shoulders forcing me to stop pacing. "I know my cousin and he could never hate you." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. I nodded and prayed that she was right.
"I'm gonna head on up to bed." I told everyone. I didn't wait for a response or comment, I just ran upstairs. I showered, changed into my pajamas, and got into the extra bed that was put in Rydel's room.
I closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep but couldn't no matter how hard I tried. I couldn't stop thinking about Austin's arrival. So many questions rang through my head like, "Is he gonna yell at me when he finds out I lied?" Or "Will he be disappointed in me?"
I don't know how, but I managed to fall asleep.
I woke up really early for some reason and when I noticed that everyone was still asleep, I knew what I was gonna do.
I changed into my snowboarding gear so I could be ready before I woke everybody up. I know Mark and Stormie left for work already and my dad left to go pick up Jason. I grabbed one of the Lynches guitars, plugged it into the amp, and hit the chords. There was a bunch of screaming and al lot of them were girly screams.
Since I was in the living room, everyone started running in that direction.
"Morning guys!" I chirped and slightly laughed when I saw everyone send daggers my way.
"Why the hell did you do that!?" Trish yelled. Yeah, she's really not a morning person.
"Because I'm ready to head to the slopes and everyone was sleeping. Now go get ready." There was a bunch of mumbles and groans but they did as ordered.
