Chapter 4 - Im in love with the high school jerk

High school

Austin's POV:

"Well spending time with Avery was all I needed but how do I tell her that I love her? What if I won't be able to love her the way she wants to be loved or the way she deserves to be loved?"

Justin: Hello Earth to Austin

Carter: what are you thinking about bro?

Justin: yeah what got you so tense?

Austin: you guys know that I have never been in love before and that I used to play with girls feelings but this time i truly believe that I'm in love, I know that falling in love ain't my thing and it's not that I'm afraid of commitment I'm just afraid of hurting Avery because I know that I just go crazy when I see a pretty girl because I can't stick with one girl,I really don't trust myself with her heart nor her happiness

Justin: after hearing all those words I also believe that Mr Wilson has fallen in love so don't hold yourself back because you can't face your fears, the her you love her before it's too late

Carter: I agree with Justin, don't let your past get in the way of your love

Austin: thanks guys and don't worry I'll tell her next week Thursday a day after the maths test, I don't wanna stress her

Carter: I have a better idea

Austin: elaborate

Carter: okay,so why don't you express your love to her on the day of your performance like when you guys are done performing you can take over and express your feelings in front of the entire school and both your parents

Justin: yes I like that idea

Austin: that's actually a great idea I'm going for it

Avery's POV:

"Austin has been on my mind the whole day but I think it's best if I distance myself from him because he's a player that will simply break this little heart of mine

Emma: you've been quiet for a while what's wrong? Are you okay?

Avery: relax I'm fine I was justt thinking, lunchtime will be over soon so let's pack up

Olivia: if you love him just tell him

Avery: no I really don't want to get involved with guys like him I really don't want to find myself in a situation where i go back home crying because he hurt me so no thank you

Emma: we understand but feelings get deeper each and every day

Avery: I believe that as the seasons change feelings also fade

Olivia: okay miss feelings

We laughed and the bell rang, we went to sit at miss Taylor's classroom

Basketball practice

Coach Smith:I hope you are all ready for the big game tomorrow

Teammates: yes coach

Coach Smith:Wilson don't disappoint me especially since we are playing with the Eagles

Austin: you can count on me coach

Coach: WHAT TEAM

Teammates: SWALLOWS

Coach: WHAT TEAM

Teammates: SWALLOWS

Coach: let's get back to work

*afterschool*

Vanessa: hey Avery your sister was looking for you,she said if I happen to see you I must tell you that please wait for her at the front gate

Avery: okay thanks

Olivia:I guess I'll Stand with you since I'm also waiting for my mom

We went and stood at the front gate and I heard someone shouting out my name

Olivia: someone is calling you

Avery: I can also hear that but I don't see anyone

Olivia: oh now I see who was calling out your name, it's that pig of yours

Avery: "laughs" he's not a pig, I wonder what he wants now

Austin: Hey

Olivia: what do you want?

Avery: hi, Olivia don't start

Olivia: sorry but you know I can't stand this guy, Austin what do you want

Austin: well actually I'm not here for you I'm here for Avery

Avery: okay...

Austin: don't worry it's nothing personal I'm just here to ask if you'll make it to the basketball match? Including Olivia

Olivia: I don't think we'll make it

Avery: of course we will, don't mind her

Olivia: fine

Austin: awesome, see you guys tomorrow

Us: bye

Olivia: Avery what was that about?

Avery: I was just being nice

Olivia: really? Do you call that being nice?

Avery:yes

Olivia: well to me it seems like you're falling for Austin and his silly tricks

Avery: can we please stop talking about all this, we've been waiting here for so long

Olivia: oh there she comes

Aaliyah:I'm so sorry I was at music class

Olivia: it's cool, I'll see you guys tomorrow my mom is here

Avery: bye

Anderson household

Mr Anderson: dear how did the auditions go?

Avery: great

Mrs Anderson: just great? You don't sound convincing

Avery: mom you are just to much to handle

Mr Anderson: and to top that up she wasn't even talking to you

Mrs Anderson: okay father and daughter are teaming up? It's fine

Aaliyah: you are all so dramatic I'm going for a nap

Avery: yeah I'm also going to sleep goodnight.

Wilson household

Cameron: so little bro how did the auditions go?

Austin: pretty well

Isabelle: okay congratulations but did you end up telling the mystery girl that you love her?

Mrs Wilson: i was about to ask the same thing

Austin: no I haven't

Cameron: just as I thought why are you so afraid of giving love a chance?

Austin: it's not that

Isabelle: then what's the problem bro?

Austin: I'll confess my love to her infront of the whole school after our performance next week Friday

Mr Wilson: now that's a great idea son

Mrs Wilson: I agree

Isabelle: atleast big brother got brains

Austin: "laughs" yeah but this was Carter's idea

Cameron: I knew that you aren't smart enough to come up with such an idea

Mr Wilson: okay enough let's just eat in peace

*Friday morning*

Wilson family: good luck on your game today Austin

Austin: thank you and you know I'm a superstar I won't let you guys down

Anderson household

Aaliyah: so when your boyfriend is playing you wake up this early?

Avery: what? No, he's just my singing partner

Aaliyah: let's leave that out, you look stunning

Avery: thank you

Mrs Anderson: wow you got all dressed up today but I thought your performance is not this Friday but the next

Aaliyah: well mom her boyfriend is playing a basketball tournament so she wants to be the lady of the match

Mrs Anderson: "laughs" Avery you never told me that you found yourself a boyfriend, anyway who is he?

Avery: Aaliyah is bluffing, he's not the type of person I'd spend my life with I mean like he's rude and he's just a player

Mrs Anderson: if you don't love him why are you going to the tournament?

Aaliyah: thank you for asking her that I'd also like to know why?

Avery: because I didn't want to seem as the bad guy

Aaliyah: lies lies lies lies

Avery: Aaliyah come on let's get going, bye mom

Mrs Anderson: bye

High school

We arrived at school and it was filled with guys and there was a lot of people, I Saw Olivia and Emma running straight to me

Avery: hi guys, what's going on?

Emma: you look so pretty

Olivia: too pretty for what we're about to tell you

Avery: thanks but you guys are scaring me now?

Emma: we saw Austin and Chloe holding hands and Austin have her a bracelet

Avery: Yeah so?

Olivia: wait you aren't hurt?

Avery: why should I be? It's not like I mean something to him or he means something to me no, I don't really care what he does and who he does it with

Austin: ouch that hurts

Avery: how much of that did you hear?

Austin:i literally heard everything

Avery: oh okay

Austin: you look pretty

Avery: thank you

Austin: see you tomorrow during rehearsals

Avery: "smiles" no you'll see me after the match

Austin: "smiles back" cool then

Basketball field

*Game begins*

Honestly I was enjoying the game but my eyes were just looking at Austin, the swallows scored first and scored another 13 goals, the Eagles scored 12 till it was time out and the swallows won, I was so happy I ran over to Austin and hugged him from behind

Avery: congratulations swallows

Austin: thank you mam I guess your beautiful face kept me going

Avery: "laughs" won't disagree to that

He laughed and carried me and he was busy spinning me around

Avery: no put down

He did as I said and we both said our goodbyes, I went home greeted everyone and went to my room, I think I'm falling for this trouble maker at first I thought I want nothing to do with him but the more I spend time with him it's the more I want him to stay but it's to early to catch feelings I really don't want to find myself crying because it him, why am I even thinking about him? Let me just go to sleep.
