∆ Avery's POV ∆

Austin and i walked together all the way to school. Eventually, my hair is down and Austin won't give back my freaking hair tie!

But there was something really weird about him, like the uneasiness of every step he takes to the gate of our campus, the shaking of his breath. I tried asking him if he's okay but he'll only say that he's alright.

We parted ways because he said he needs to meet up with Dylan and Ryan.

And here i am, sitting in my normal spot of my first class waiting for Austin.

There's only a few of us here, if I'll count...i guess 15? I don't know.

Finally, Austin came in. But this time, he's not acting weird anymore. He was flipping smiling when he walked inside the classroom.

He sat beside and he asked me this insanely super weird question

"How's my lovely best friend doing?" He smiled at me and i gave him a weird look. I also moved away from him.

"Who are you? What have you done to Austin? Where is he?" I asked him while slowly standing up from my chair and moving away from him even more.

"Hahaha! Calm down, i was only joking" he replied and he pulled me back to my chair with a laughing expression on his face.

"For a split second, i thought you went mental" i said and i heard the guy behind me laugh

"Ha ha" Austin sarcastically laughed at me.

Seriously this guy is learning too much from me.

∆ Austin's POV ∆

I couldn't stay still. I was too nervous.

My guts couldn't take it and i feel like throwing up any minute.

Am i really doing this to Avery? She's my best friend...and i just can't.

On our way to school Avery kept asking if I'm okay. But all i said is I'm fine. But I'm really not cause im about to throw up.

We parted ways because i have to meet up with fucking Dylan and Ryan.

"So, here's your script" Dylan handed me a piece of paper with lines that i have to say.

"Do me a favor, please give me 2 more days with her...she's my best friend" i begged.

"Give us a minute" Ryan said and pulled Dylan away.

After a few seconds they came back

"You'll do it on Monday and that's it" Dylan glared at me.

"That Avery is turning you into a fucking pussy, Austin Connor" Dylan snickers.

I gripped the bar beside me to control my temper. They're talking about Avery for fuck's sake and i can't have that!

"What's the matter? Can't handle the truth?" Dylan smirked.

"Dylan, stop." Ryan said pushing dylan away from me.

Well looks like one of them are afraid of me.

"No ryan-" dylan began but ryan cut him off

"Dylan, remember the last time he was mad. Dude, i don't want that happening again" Ryan's voice trembled.

Dylan scoffed and walked away leaving me and Ryan alone

"Listen Austin. I'll try my best to stop this" ryan patted my shoulders and ran off to dylan.

2 more days with Avery...that should be enough

∆ Avery's POV ∆

After waiting for....what i think is 5 long hours, lunch finally rolled around.

Austin's waiting in line to get us lunch. And i saw Kylie behind him and she's just staring at him like he's some man candy or something but she was definitely drooling.

For some reason...i felt jealous.

Oh god, i can't be jelous. No no no no no no no

I tried to make the feeling go away but i just can't! What the hell is happening?!

"Hey Avery" Dylan greeted me with a big smile on his face.

Dylan. Out of all the people...Dylan greeted me.

"Hey Dylan" i smiled back at him

"So Tyler is throwing a party tomorrow...and i was wondering-" he paused and he scratched the back of his neck

"I-if you c-could be my date?" He asks

And mentally...my mouth gaped open.

Is it real or am i dreaming?

Dylan Andersons is stuttering infront of me. THE Dylan Andersons.

And he's asking me...to be his date.

God, WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD?!

"What?" I asked and i tried to hold back a laugh. But i failed.

Yeah...i failed to hold back a laugh -_-

And i caught a glimpse of him blushing while i was laughing.

"Can you be my date to Stephan's party tomorrow?" He stared directly into my eyes without stuttering this time.

"Y-yeah sure" i said. Oh great, now I'm the one who's stuttering.

"I'll pick you up at 8 pm tomorrow" he smiled and he walked away.

"What the hell was that??" I asked myself once dylan left.

I turned my head back to Austin. He's still in line. Talking to Kylie.

What??!! Now they're talking?!

I felt another pang in my chest. I'm guessing jealousy is stabbing my poor little heart.

Before i could do something stupid, i got up from my chair and i walked out of the cafeteria to go after Dylan.

Lucky me, i saw him walking down the hallway. Yay!

"Dylan!" I called out for him and he turned around.

He jogs towards me with a smile.

"Hey" he said stopping in front of me.

"Why are you here? Austin's probably looking for you by now" he said with his smile fading and he slowly looks away from me.

"Maybe he wouldn't notice that I'm missing because he's talking to Kylie" i muttered but somehow he heard it.

"You're jealous aren't you?" Dylan smirked.

"No, why would i be jealous? He's just my bestfriend" i stated. Well, i lied.

"If you say so" he winked at me.

Oh come on! What is it with boys and their stupidly cute winks?!

"You should really head back to Austin" dylan suggested pointing at the cafeteria door.

"Yeah, i should. Bye Dylan" i waved at him and i started to walk away.

"Bye Avery!" I heard him say and i walked through the cafeteria and i settled down at our table.

"Where the hell were you Avery?! I thought something bad happened to you!" Austin said in an overly worried tone.

I wanted to ask him so bad...what did you and kylie talked about?

But i held it inside. I don't want to start a drama.

"Can we just eat?" That's all that came out of my mouth.

What the hell are you doing to me jealousy??!!

He nodded and he placed a tray with food infront of me and i started to eat.

"Are you okay?" He asks.

"Yep, I'm perfectly fine" i said waving a french fry in front of him.

Lie.

The jealousy is still here. And believe me, i want to kill that Kylie Wedner.

"You don't look like it" he said looking away from me.

Oh right, Austin knows me very very very very very very very well.

"I'm fine Austin" i sighed and took a bite out of my burger

He nodded in reply and we ate silently

~•~•~

"So Dylan invited me to a party" i said to Austin while placing my history book in my locker

"Dylan invited you to a what?!" He freaked out and he closed my locker with a lot of force

Good thing i got my hand out in time.

"A party" i said and i open my locker door again

Austin must be deaf, or is he just stupid?

"If you're gonna go to that party...I'm gonna go too"

Stupid. He's definitely stupid.

"Are you invited?" I smirked at my comeback at him.

Ha! Beat that Austin Connor!

"Who's party is it?" He asks leaning on the lockers casually.

"Tyler Morgan's" i said while closing my locker door.

"Really Avery? That Tyler Morgan is gonna invite me to his party in;

5..

4..

3..

2..

1.." He chucked and as if on cue..

Tyler Morgan suddenly pops out beside me.

"Hey Connor. Party. Tomorrow. 8pm" Tyler said slowly pointing at Austin.

Huh, i guess they're on last name basis.

"Sure thing" Austin nodded his head and he faced me giving me a wink.

"And you, Harper. You're invited too. Be there okay?" Tyler said snaking his arms around my shoulders.

"I'll be there, Tyler" i said while removing his arms around me.

I don't want to call him Morgan..cause it's too girly for him....and he's a guy...so that'll be really awkward...

But you get the point

"You're playing hard to get...i like that" he said smiling directly at me.

"I'm gonna go and head to the team." Tyler added and looked back at his friends.

"See you guys around" he said smiling at Austin.

While he gave me one of those cute boyish head nods.

And then he walks away.

Once he was gone Austin groaned while covering his face with his hands

"What's your problem now?" I laughed

"Seriously Avery, you're obliviousness just blows my mind! It's like all the guys here in Silverbell High are in love with you" he stared at me with a blank face

"They're not" i defended and we started to leave the campus

"Do you want me to tell you all the guys that are in love with you?" He sighed and i nodded for him to continue

"You got Reece, Dylan, Ryan...and now Tyler??" He chuckled and he shook his head while counting the names on his fingers

Really? I thougt he'll say his name too -_-

Im assuming too much

"Oh come on! It's only 4" i said almost laughing and i threw my hands up in the air.

"No, it's actually alot" he looks directly into my eyes and we stop walking

"I'm not dumb. I know how to count, it's only 4" i declared pushing him lightly

"Trust me, all the guys here like you" he said

I felt a warm pink blush climb up my cheeks.

I don't know why, but that really made me blush.

"Ha ha really funny Austin" i replied trying to fight back another blush.

"I'm not joking" he seriously says

"I know Austin, i know" i said patting his back and i continue to walk leaving him behind

To be honest, when i turned away from him...

I felt sad..

~•~•~

"Anything more to do Austin?" I asked getting bored out of my mind while logging into facebook.

3 new friend requests
4 new messages

I smiled as i tapped the friend requests button and i scoffed when i saw the names

Dylan Andersons
Tyler Morgan
Ryan Andersons

I decided to accept all three because..

Who wouldnt?

I tapped the messages button.

Wow

Reece is spamming my messages hahaha.

Reece Connor: hey Avery
Reece Connor: I'm gonna visit again on sunday :D
Reece Connor: really excited to see u ;)

I typed my reply...just to see his reaction.

Avery Harper: miss u too reece ❤

I closed my phone and faced Austin

Who's right now, scanning for something to watch on netflix.

"I got something in mind. You wanna go for it?" He sits up the sofa using his elbows.

"Why the heck not?" I stand up cheerfully grabbing my bag and pulling him out of the room.

"And oh, we might use a bus" he said before we walk out of the house

Seriously??? Where the fuck are we going???

One thing you should guys know....i hate busses.

Judgemental people are inside them, and worse, when it's loaded you'll have to suffer and stand up.

"Nooooo!" I let out a long groan and i walk back into my house

But of course, Austin pulled me back.

"It's worth it. I promise" he promised looking directly into my eyes again.

Those captivating greyish blue eyes...how breath taking.

"Alright" i sighed in annoyance.

So I'm gonna go and face one of the most greatest things i hate?

Just great (sarcasm alert)

~•~•~

Once i got out of that suffocating bus, i breathed in all the air that i can.

"If this isn't fucking worth it. I swear austin I'll kill you" i said furiously and i gave him my best death glare.

"Don't you trust me Avery?" He asked with sadness and hurt slashing across his captivating eyes.

Oh now i feel guilty.

"I've been your friend since we were 5. I trust you with all my life" i smiled at him and i pushed aside the feeling of guilt.

"Good." He smiled back and he grabbed my hand pulling me towards....

The beach :)

Before we left Austin said that i should go change my outift.

So now im wearing sunglasses, white tshirt, and denim shorts.

I felt a little uncomfortable because of the guys staring at me.

They're literally staring at me! Weird.

"So why are we at the beach?" I got curious so i asked Austin.

"To get a tattoo" he smirked and we stopped infront of a tattoo store.

My mouth literally gaped open. I'm only 15, is there some sort of age limit?

"W-wh-what?" I started to panic like;

Oh-my-god-what-am-i-doing-this-is-really-stupid kind of panic.

"Come on. Don't worry, there's no age limit. And it's permanent... So you better hide it from your mom....and dad" he said faking to flinch.

"S-sure do" i stated and my inner self starts to shake.

"Don't worry, i won't let go of your hand" he smiled at me and he tightened his grip on my hand lightly.

Oh hell it even sent delightful sparks all over my hand and butterflies starts to fly around my flipping stomach like crazy.

We stepped inside and we asked the 20's looking kind lady to give us a permanent parabatai tattoo.

She put Austin's tattoo at his arm and she put mine at the side if my stomach, just below the hip.

Austin did as he promised...

He didn't let go of my hand

~•~*~•~*~•~*~•~*~•~*~•~*~•~*~•~*~•~*~•

Heyya guys! Another hella long chaper but yeah.

It's now 1:29 am.

And there is literally nothing to keep me awake.

So I'd really appreciate your votes.

It would mean the world to me.

So this is the parabatai tattoo

Thanks ❤
