The Blizzard Competition
I started laughing nervously and all I wanted to do was hide. I knew we were going to tell them today, but I didn't want them finding out like this. Stupid paparazzi!
"Trish, I can explain." I slowly stood up so we're face to face. She's pretty much scowling at me so I knew she was really mad.
"You better have an explanation as to why there's a picture of you and Austin kissing! And it was taken yesterday!" I flinched at her outburst.
"The reason Austin and I were kissing, is because we're dating." I slowly explained.
Trish froze in place with her jaw slightly dropped. I started waving my hand in front of her face but she didn't even blink.
"Trish?" I asked, quietly. "Are you okay? I get that you're mad-"
"I'm not mad." She said, cutting me off.
"You're not?" My eyes widened at her confession. I actually thought I was going to die tonight.
"I mean I'm a bit mad at the fact that you didn't tell me you guys were dating, but I'm also really happy for you two. You guys are perfect together."
"Thanks Trish." I wrapped my arms around her in a tight hug which she gladly returned.
"So how long have you two been sneaking around?" She asked, wiggling her eyebrows. I find it kind of creepy when people do that.
"Just a week. We wanted to tell everyone after the competition, but we hated keeping it a secret." I grabbed a hair tie off Rydel's dresser and threw my hair up into a messy bun. "So does everyone know about us?"
"Let's just say that everyone is in the living room interrogating, Austin." She laughed. "Except for Jason which I find weird since he's your older brother."
"Well that's because he already knows." She crossed her arms over her chest and raised an eyebrow. "He figured it out on his own." I assured her. I don't need Trish getting angry again.
"Wow, Jason's more observant then the rest of us."
"You got that right."
"So what are we doing today?" She asked me. I picked up my snowboard as a sign to say "I'm snowboarding." "Als, did you not look outside?" I shook my head no. "Well there's a blizzard so we're stuck inside today and possibly tomorrow. There's even a chance the power will go out."
"That's just great." I groaned. "I'm gonna go brush my teeth but I'll meet you downstairs."
"Sure thing." She walked out of the room and I walked into the bathroom. I'm actually really happy that everyone knows about me and Austin being a couple because now we can actually act like one in public.
