My name is Austin Moon. I became an overnight sensation by stealing a song from a girl. It's a long story that I don't have enough time to cover. Her name is Ally Dawson, she became my partner. She writes currently the most amazing songs for me, but she's more than that. She is also my best friend, yet I feel myself start to become more attracted to her. I mean the romantic kind of attracted. I don't want her to know that though, I think she still looks at me in a friend way. If I were to say anything it might make it awkward for a while, so I just keep it to myself. Her smile always gives me butterflies, and her hair always makes me want to touch and mess with it. Her eyes, her chocolate eyes, remind me of my own, but have more of a twinkle. I started staring into space just thinking about it. "Austin," Ally waved her hands into my face, I didn't budge, "AUSTIN," she snapped at me. "What?" I replied shocked, "Are you daydreaming?" 'Stay cool' I told my self,"No, what makes you say that?"
"Uh, Austin, first of all your staring at nothing, second of all, your elbow is on the keys, making an awful noise." She was right, I need an excuse. "I'm just tired, I was studying until 1 this morning."
"Nice excuse Austin, its the first day of summer vacation." Oh yeah, it's the first day of summer. "Can we just focus on the song?" I told her sharply. "Fine then cranky pants, you must really be tired." I really was, considering that I didn't go to bed until midnight and Ally said to come to Sonic Boom at 9:00 this morning. "Sorry, didn't get much sleep last night." I replied as nicely as possible.
"It's okay, so lets get back to song." We went through some good melodies, added some lyrics. Like normal, but today felt different. I don't know why, I want to talk to someone about my feelings, but I have a good feeling I don't need to talk to Ally about it. After we were done with the song, we gave each other a nice and hard celebratory high five. I couldn't help myself, as soon as our hands hit, I took my fingers and intertwined them in Ally's, and she did the same. We held that and stared into each others eyes, after about 10 seconds we both pulled and looked down. Ally cleared her throat, "So, uh, Austin should we head to minis to meet Trish and Dez?" She asked, I awkwardly laughed and replied "Yeah let's go." Did that really just happen? I could have said something, but I didn't. Why could I have done that with any other girl, but I couldn't do it with Ally? I guess we need to stay as friends for now. We met Trish and Dez at minis. I didn't get up once we were through, I guess Ally saw me and decided to stay. I guess I looked down or something.
"Is something wrong, Austin?" she asked me. I wasn't so sure I wanted to tell her anything. "Everything's fine, I swear," I replied to her.
"I can tell something's wrong, your not acting normal. Your not talking a lot, you usually talk a lot. You can trust me." Not with this Ally, I told her in my mind. I decided to just not be so specific. "Well there's a girl, and I'm not sure if I like her or not. If I say anything it might make things awkward, because we're good friends." I could tell I was way too thorough, Ally looked shocked. "Uh, well, um, I've got to go. Just talk to her more, and try to spark something." She quickly ran out. I rested my head in my hands on the table. I can't believe I actually said that, she obviously knew I was talking about her. Maybe we'll forget that this whole thing happened, and we will go on to our old friendship, but what happened today, might have jeopardized that.
