An everyday tale about a broken Ally helped by Austin. I wouldn't lie and tell you this is something extraordinary but even the story has been told in a million other ways, the journey promises to be different. I don't write a lot this is my first attempt, please give my story a chance. Hope you like it! :)

I'm about to die lying here on the ground yet I'm happy because all those people that I love are here around me surrounding me and if it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't have lived for as long as I did.
A year ago...
If you're the one for me, then
I'll be your hero,
(Could you be the one?)
(Could you be the one?)
(Could you be the one?)
Then I'll be your hero...
Hero by sterling knight played on my iPod as I sat there under the old tree next to the lake hidden on our high school campus. I loved this place it was my escape from the mess my life currently is, I stumbled upon this place two years ago when my life had just started to fall apart... It was the day everything came crumbling down. So here I am listening to an odd selection of songs writing in my journal with me feet in the water. This tree that I'm sitting on ( I have no idea as to what it is) has one branch that is only three inches from the water so you're practically sitting on the water. It's the most beautiful place I've ever seen, away from all the madness, the confusion, the sorrow and everything sad in life... It's my happy place. It's the one place where no one else comes, no one else knows about. I wish I could stay here forever but school starts in half an hour and I need to get back to my dorm to get my books. It's the first day of school I can't be late. I pack up my stuff and start heading back to the real world where I'm just a miserable loser. A loser in life considering I lost everything that was dear to me. I know now I'm rich, I should be grateful but money can't bring back my brother, my parents, my life, my happiness. I know what you must be thinking, she is so self involved, keeps on talking about herself but the truth is if I had actually thought about myself I would be dead. I'm only alive for my grandmother, to keep her happy, when she goes I go with her. I have completely lost my will to live. There are only a few little things that makes me happy like the tree by the lake, drama, music, my grandma, her dog maybe... I don't know. While I was lost in my thoughts I had arrived but of course I didn't realize this and tripped over something. I braced myself for the impact but never came instead I was caught by someone. When I looked up the first thing I saw was twinkling, chocolate brown eyes. He had blonde hair and brown I eyes that looked like a sea of melted chocolate, I know cheesy but so true.
"Thanks for catching me" I said because I was so confused I didn't know what to say.
"Uh... Thanks for falling?" He said, as confused as I was.
And I smiled, like a real smile and he smiled back. That's when we realized that we were still in each other's arms. We quickly untangled ourselves.
"Hi, um I'm Austin" he held out his hand.
"Ally or Alls whichever one you would prefer" I said as I shook his hand. Why did I just tell him my nickname? Only my brother called me that.
"Uhh... I'm new here could you tell me how to get to the high school office?"
"Oh.. Straight and first left"
"Thanks"
"You're welcome" and with that I headed up to the dorm, grabbed my books and headed to school. When I entered the school everyone was staring at me. Did I do something wrong? I looked down at my clothes, I was wearing a fit and flair floral dress with a cardigan and ankle high boots this was completely normal for me so what were they staring at? I walked to my locker while people continuously stared at me... I wonder why? My hair! Yeah, that's it. No it's not, I can see my reflection in the mirror sculpture and it's in it's normal braid then what? When I got to my locker I asked the girl standing next to me her name was piper and she was extremely pretty but she didn't seem to notice." Hey, um... What are they staring at?"
Her eyes were big like she had seen a ghost." The principal called you" her voice was barely above a whisper. And suddenly it all made perfect sense to me... Everyone knew when I was called to the principle's office something bad had to have happened. Now for the first time I saw that some faces were sympathetic, some worried, some just there to watch the show. Was it finally my time to go?
...When I entered the principal's office I was greeted by the same piercing blue eyes that I had seen not even 5 minutes ago. "Ah Ms. Dawson I am happy to inform you" the phone rings and the principal (Mr. Frankenstifle or Mr. F as he prefers, personally I find it funny) holds up a finger in a gesture which tells me to wait while he receives the call. All this while I was wondering what he was so happy to tell me about. That I can leave?Or he's happy to get rid of me? He never did like me. After about 5 minutes when he is finally done with his call he said "I am happy to inform you that this time no one has died but because of your lack of social participation, I am assigning you buddy of Mr. Moon here." I looked at blue eyes who seemed to be a little disturbed to be called Mr. Moon. "Which means that you will accompany him from 7:00am till curfew. Is that clear?" He said trying to look tough but someone like me who has been in this school for more than a month knew that he was the opposite of strict or tough. I just nodded a reply and walked out of the office with blue eyes. When we stepped out of the principal's office expressions of fake sympathy were replaced by genuine surprise, people just couldn't understand why instead of crying I was accompanied by an attractive teenage boy. I let them wonder, i mean after all they weren't my friends….no one was.
"ok, so let me see what classes we have together." i said while taking his timetable from him. he didn't protest. " So, everything but fashion designing."
"What! i don't take fashion designing!" that was the longest sentence he had said to me all morning.
"i know but i do" i replied
"oh…...you don't seem like the fashion designing type"
"I'm not but i need the credit"
"oh. so what do i have when you have fashion designing?"
"Wood shop"
"And when is that?"
"Period 2 but today we have assembly at that time"
"oh…" hmm..he says oh a lot.
