A Cinderella Story Page #7

It's been me all along.

And it was me who was hurt

in front of everybody.

Look, I didn't come here

to yell at you, okay?

I came to tell you I know what it feels

like to be afraid to show who you are.

I was. But I'm not anymore.

And the thing is, I don't care

what people think about me...

...because I believe in myself.

And I know that things are gonna be okay.

But even though I have no family

and no job and no money for college...

...it's you that I feel sorry for.

- Heads up. Yo, five minutes.

- I'm coming.

I know that guy that sent those e-mails

is somewhere down inside of you.

But I can't wait for him...

...because waiting for you is like

waiting for rain in this drought.

Useless and disappointing.

Sam.

- Sam.

- Hey. What are you doing here?

Rhonda told me where you might be. I

thought you could use a friend. Come here.

Sam, I'm so proud of you.

You did...

Your stepmom and Austin,

all in one day. How do you feel?

I'll let you know when I can catch

my breath. Let's do something tonight.

Well, I was actually thinking

about going to the game...

...but I understand

if you don't wanna do that.

No, I'll go.

Really? You'll go to the game?

Yeah. I can handle it now.

It'll be our first and last.

And besides, if I don't go, who else

is gonna explain the game to you?

I like what you're wearing.

What character are you today?

- Myself.

- I think it's your best look.

Thank you.

Come on, everybody. Weren't they great?

Let's hear it for them.

Let's give our cheerleaders a big hand.

Make some noise.

Austin and I are almost back together.

It isn't official or anything, but it's on.

- Sorry, guys.

- Sorry.

Okay, everybody. Get ready.

Here they come!

I'm glad you came, Sam.

The defending regional conference

champions, your very own Fighting Frogs!

Both the Lancers and the Frogs

enter the game...

...tied for the lead in the

conference standings.

The winner of tonight's game will advance

to the playoffs for the state championship.

Austin.

Austin. All right, buddy.

This is the big one, all right?

You stay focused and win it.

- Everyone is counting on you. All right?

- Andy!

Hey, Chuck! How you doing, pal?

Let's do it again! One more time.

Down, set, 28 guarding, 28 guarding!

Hike!

The clock is stopped with nine seconds

left in the game.

- The Frogs need one touchdown to win.

- I love football! I love football!

I love football!

Austin! Austin! Austin!

Austin! Austin!

Carter, I thought that I could handle this,

but I really can't. I'm gonna go.

You know what? I'll tell you

how it ends, okay?

- Come on!

- Do it, baby!

This is the one. This is the one, Austin.

This is the one.

- Sorry, boys.

- Where are you going?

What's he...? What is he...?

What's the problem?

- What are you doing?

- I'm out of here.

What? You're throwing away your dream!

No, Dad. I'm throwing away yours.

It's your game now. Go get them.

Substituting for Ames is number 23,

Ryan Henson.

- Austin!

- Austin! Get back here!

Austin, what are you doing?

Something I should've done

a long time ago.

Sorry I waited for the rain.

It's okay.

No!

Oh, my God.

Touchdown! The Fighting Frogs have won.

They've done it. They won the game.

Oh, my... You gotta

love high school.

So we won the big game that day.

But what I remember most

was I got my prince.

And a really bad cold.

After that, it was like everything

fell into place.

My dad was right. The fairy tale book

did contain something important.

Take this one and take the

two cars in the front.

I can pay for those parking tickets!

Actually, I'm selling your cars, Fiona.

For college tuition money.

What gives you the idea

you can sell our cars?

- She owns them.

- Exactly. I own them.

I'm the county district attorney.

Have you ever seen this before?

I've never seen that before.

Isn't this your signature

on the witness line?

I have never seen my

husband's hidden will before.

I'm afraid you're gonna have to come

downtown with me, ma'am.

That hidden will stated that the house,

the diner and everything belonged to me.

It turned out my stepsisters knew where

Fiona had filed my real acceptance letter.

I got it!

My dad's diner was restored

to its former glory.

And my stepmother

made a deal with the DA.

She's working off her debt

to society at Hal's...

...under the watchful eye

of my new partner.

And my stepsisters? They finally put

their teamwork to good use.

Austin's dad finally came around

and got off his Trojan horse.

Things even cleared up for Carter.

Anything is possible if you just believe.

He ended up filming a commercial.

And in addition to

landing that commercial...

...Carter also landed the girl.

The San Fernando Valley

was clear and beautiful...

...the way it only is after a big rainstorm.

As for Austin and me, well,

I finally got my cell phone back.

We wound up going to Princeton together

and lived happily ever after.

At least for now.

Hey, I'm only a freshman.
