The Blizzard Competition
Okay, I don't know what's happening to me, but I'm starting to see Ally differently. Like, has her hair always been so beautiful and curly? Did her smile always light up a room? God, I sound like such a girl. But I can't help but feel that I'm falling for my best friend.
"Guys! Let's go!" I heard Ross shout. I was upstairs and I'm guessing so was everyone else except for Ross. We're going to the half-pipe today so the guys, yes, I'm saying Rydel and Ally are guys, it's just easier, can practice for the competition.
I can't wait to see Ally snowboard because my cousins are saying that she's really good. It still blows my mind that Ally actually snowboards. I mean I thought she wasn't the athletic type, but boy was I wrong.
When we all reached the living room, we had to decide who was going with who in Riker and Rydel's cars.
"Alright, Ally, Austin, Trish, and Dez, will come with me in my car while the rest of you go with Riker." Rydel explained. We all nodded and piled into the cars. I was actually excited that I got to sit next to Ally in the car. Okay, what the hell is wrong with me? Maybe I'll talk to one of my cousins about this later.
When we arrived at Storm Valley, the area with all the half-pipes, Ally basically ran out of the car. I couldn't help but laugh at her anxiousness. She was seriously adorable. Alright, can someone please smack me over the head?
We walked all the way to the top of the half-pipe and everyone was getting ready to practice. Trish, Dez, and I weren't planning on doing anything rather than watch. I was perfectly fine with that.
"Ally, you want to go first?" Rocky asked.
"Did you really have to ask?" She asked teasingly. I grinned as Ally dropped in.
I don't know what tricks she was doing, but she was doing different types of flips, turns, and slides, and it was just amazing. When she finished, I couldn't help but stare at her in awe.
"Austin, you might want to close your mouth." Dez whispered in my ear. I didn't even realize my mouth was hanging open. Can you say embarrassing?
"So how was I?" Ally asked me. Did she really have to ask?
"Als, you were amazing, like seriously, holy crap!" I babbled on but I didn't care. She smiled and I swear I saw her blush. But it could be because it's freezing out. I'm hoping for the first one.
"Thanks, Austin. You wanna go walk around a little while your cousin's practice?"
"What about you? Don't you need to practice?"
She nodded. "I do, but my wrist is kind of bothering me right now so I figured I'd take a break." She put her snowboard under her arm and walked closer towards me. "Should we take Trish and Dez with us?"
I turned around and noticed that Trish and Dez were too engrossed in watching my cousin's snowboard. "Nah, their fine. Let's go." I grabbed her snowboard from her so she wouldn't have to carry it. She looked up at me and smiled.
