I don't own Austin and Ally ;)

Of a simple human emotion

Weighs me down

More than the tank ever did"

Ally's pov.

Living all alone in an empty house. It seems like the perfect get away from reality. Well it's not it makes you realize how alone you are and no matter what the abandonment always hits you when you least expect it.I wake up in my pink silk pajamas and my hair into a side braid. I opened the window and the cool breeze of Miami cools me down. I change into my light washed jeans and a white light sweater. It was around early November and things started to cool down. I slipped on my black converses and applied some pink tinted lipgloss.

What you might see is a normal teenage girl, but what I see is a girl who was abandoned at age 14 and left here all alone still attending school, praying that she might get a scholarship to MUNY. I live in the real world sometimes I daydream but not much.

I fixed my hair up in a messy side ponytail. I already had my homework packed and I was ready to go. I picked up my denim backpack and walked into the kitchen. I searched the fridge for any thing to eat and all I saw was a some fruit and milk. I sighed and took a banana.

I then walked out the front door still trying to cure my aching stomach with a banana. I usually walk to school, because the bus wasn't that much of a safe place for me since the kids at my school don't really like me.

I don't talk at all and I don't plan too. My voice isn't important and I don't care if I can't have a say in things. Keeping quiet is so familiar to me it's become a part of me. Of course I blame my dad who walked out and left after my mom died and if things couldn't get any worse I was being bullied at the same time. Having no family to come home to was hard, but having people judge you constantly and top that with the pressures of keeping yourself alive and ready for school. I might as well be insane. I went silent a few months after my dad left, and I then was known as...

The Mute Freak.

I'm not Mute! Well at least in my opinion I am. I'm just not a big talker, I still talk sometimes just almost never at school. I'm sorry if being quiet it a crime!

I keep walking until the school comes into view. I take a deep breath and head towards the entrance. Welcome to my world population: me and no one else. I open the double doors and slip into the hallways unnoticed which is the way I like it. Drawing attention to yourself is like putting a 'beat me' sign on your back.

I am almost at the library when I feel a pain on my right shoulder which slams me into the lockers. I clutch my shoulder which felt like it was throbbing and look up to see who it was. How am I not suprised it's the famous...Austin Moon.

"Sorry mute, but I was in a rush" he held out his hand and I denied it knowing he would only drop me again. This boy is one of the reasons I dread going to school, you think he would find another hobby besides bullying me with his friends for the past almost 4 years. Although he never did that much to me only call me names. His friends are another story though.

I stand up and walk toward the library when I was stopped again by Austin. I wanted to yell at him to move, but my voice couldn't find the words. I give him a glare then fake going one way and swiftly slide through the other. Since Austin has the intention spam of a 5 year old he of course is very confused. I open the library doors and walk to the back. I need peace and quiet for awhile. Only 5 minutes with Austin can get me tired out.

I pull out a brown leather book and start to read through the pages. I write down some lyrics and at the same time study for who knows what pop quiz any of our teachers could pull. I can hear voices which upsets me, because this is a library. I am about to move when I hear something...

"Austin, why were you talking to Brooke?" A menacing voice said. I bent over to see Cassidy and Austin together behind one of the shelves.

"We were just talking nothing happened." Austin defended.

"You know how she feels about you" Cassidy spat and Austin backs away "Yeah, but I like you and only you." He holds her hand and Cassidy doesn't pull away.

I take this time to run out before they could spot me. Once I was in the hallway, I walked to my first period so I could get there early. To my luck no one was there and I took an empty seat in the back and started to right in my brown leather book again. This is how my usual day goes, but don't worry it gets more exciting.

"Allyson, you know you don't have to be here early right?" Ms. Moye reminded me. I just shrugged and went back to writing. Soon after, kids started to flood into the classroom not noticing me, Austin takes a seat two down from me and we exange a glance. I snap back into reality and go back to writing. Yes it's normal for me and Austin to acknowledge each other's presence I didn't hate him and he didn't hate me, but we did not like each other and hardly could stand being beside one another.

I listen as the teacher rambles about the history of America and how it's important we know all this in the future. I take notes occasionally and kept checking the clock. History was the easiest for me and that also ment it was the easiest to space out in. My mind is racing with the new instrument orders I have to get done for Sonic Boom which is a store that my dad used to own until he left. Now I run it and I only have two employes and it was my two friends Kira and Trish. I am not mute around them since I've known them since I was 4. Sadly they don't go to this school so I'm all alone once again.

"I'm going to pair you up in pairs so we can get started on this bubble map of the colonies." Ms Moye says. I watch as she called different names and suddenly I heard mine "Austin Moon and Ally Dawson"

Why me?!

Austin and I stare at each other in shock until he grabs his book bag and moves a seat over to sit by me. I take out a piece of paper and scribble something down.

So let me guess I am going to have to do all the work, if so I get to pick the colony.

I hand him the piece of paper and I could see a smile play on his lips."Look I'm not going to bug you ok? I just want to get this done like you do. So we are going to work together" he states and I couldn't help but feel suprised at what he just said. I looked at him amused his golden blonde hair complimented his tan skin and hazel eyes very well and I found myself staring a little to long.

Ok so...I'm thinking we can do Massachuttes because I have notes from that already.

He reads the paper and nods "Ok sure."

We both get started without saying a word to each other. I can tolerate Austin most times and the only reason he's actually being some what nice is because we both want to get this over with. Once this is done he will probably go back teasing me soon.

We finish in about 15 minutes and we both head toward the front desk. "Nice work you two. I should pair you both up more often." Ms Moye compliments. Austin and I shake our heads no frantically. She laughs and told us we got an A.

After that me and Austin return to our ways of ignoring each other.

The bell rings and I walk to my next class, but when I was by the water fountain I tripped and fell right to the floor, hitting my head hard. Cassidy and Brooke gives each other high fives and walk past me.

I rub my head and walk to my other class. Which was Music, it was my favorite class out of all of them. I practically skip into class and sit down in the risers. Ms. Davis smiles at everyone and takes attendence.

"Ok who wants to start us off for today?" She asks and everyone's hands shot up...except mine.

"Ally, what about you?" She suggests and I almost choked. She knows I'm mute and for a second I thought it was a joke. I scrunch up my nose and thought it wasn't that funny to make fun of your students. I try to play it calm though.

I let out a little laugh and people gasped from hearing my voice. Ms. Davis was a family friend and she has heard me sing lots of times and I'm almost always unmute with her, but this time was an exception.

I mouth No to her and she smiles slyly. "I can't here you?" She teases and everyone starts to laugh. I notice Austin and one of his friends Elliot were laughing harder then everyone else.

I roll my eyes and stand up, I try to muster all the strength I could get "No." I said more clearly and silence falls onto the classroom. Ms. Davis even goes mute...see what I did there?

I heard someone whisper "it speaks" and I couldn't help but giggle which makes everyone even more suprised. I sit back down and smirk at the teacher who's shock turns into a grin. "Nice to hear your voice again Ally." Ms. Davis said.

"Again?! What do you mean again?!" Austin exclaims. "Ally, is one of the most talented singers I've ever heard. Why do you think she's in this class." She responds. Everyone starts to stare and my cheeks turn a deep shade of red.

We go back to the lesson on performing with confidence and acting. Everyone keeps stealing looks at me and it's starting to get irritating. I try to focus but I can't with people looking over at me every second especially Austin.

The bell rings for lunch and I rush out of the class room. I enter the cafeteria and wait in the line for food. Looks like word gets around fast, because people were whispering and pointing at me like I was some mannequin in a window.

This doesn't mean I'm going to start talking again. I talked for my own pure enjoyment and it did make me feel better when I did. Austin was behind me in line and tapped my shoulder multiple times. I turned around annoyed that he was touching me.

"What was that? Since when do you speak!" Austin blurts. I look at him puzzled and shrug "Oh no no no! You don't just go around talking then go mute again...that's not how it works" he let's out. 'Then how does it work?' I thought. I smiled at him sweetly and he made a face "So that's it. Your never going to speak again? I just witnessed the first and last time you will ever speak?" He complains. I turn around and hopefully that answers his questions.

Why does he even care? I'm not important to him, he hasn't shown one sign of interest in anything I do. He has no clue of what I go through so he should be the last person to even say this.

I felt myself getting heated up by this conflict going on inside my head.

I took a tray and looked back behind me and saw Austin standing there waiting for an answer. I nod at him then scoot up in the lunch line.

I grabbed a salad and a brownie with a coke on the side. I walked out looking for a place to sit, while everyone watched me intently. I so wasn't used to all this attention and apparently so were the populars. Their eyes shot daggers at me and I shifted uncomfortably. Elliot comes up beside me and wacks my try in my face. I was then covered in salad which honestly wasn't that bad. I bent down to pick up my coke when I saw Cassidy walk over and dump her Arizona on me. The liquid felt cold and slimy and soon I was soaking wet. I glared at her and stood up, everyone held there breath like I was going to punch her. All I did was flick a crouton at her face and grab my coke. I turn around and walk outside with no emotion.

Probably the coolest thing I've ever done.

I walk to the lake we have outside and sit on a bench over looking the field beyond our school. I let out a sigh and sip my drink. My hair was now all sticky from the drink so I pulled off my ponytail and let my curls tumble down. I run my fingers through my hair and relax.

Austin's pov.

Cassidy stands there stunned and I couldn't blame her. Did Ally just really do that? People started to snicker and I quickly pulled Cassidy down to the table. "Are you ok?" I ask and she nods slowly still processing that Ally flicked her off. The mute flicked off the most gorgeous girl in school.

Anger started to bubble up inside me. I stood up and retraced Ally's footsteps, I kept walking until I found her. My plan was to go up and confront the little loser, but then something stopped me. I watched as she took off her pony tail and let her hair down. I've never seen her without a pony tail so this took me back a little.

She had a caramel ombré done and her hair curled at the ends she also had faint golden highlights from the top of her hair. She layed back and relaxed like there was nothing to worry about. I've never seen her with her guard down before and she actually looked...dare I say it...pretty?

I forgot why I was there in the first place.

I snapped out of it and started to walk towards her, but then her phone rang and I sat down on the grass, because I get to see her talk...again!

"Hello?" she answers and I still got freaked when words flew out of her mouth."You know I can't Kira, the new instruments are getting in soon...well I don't care if...wait your supposed to be working with me!" She argues and I almost let out a chuckle.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah, just remember to meet me at the spot okay? Well, tell Trish to get off her lazy bum and help out." She explains. "Ugh fine I'll be there. I'll call from my house and say that I'm staying home sick." She laughs at something on the other end and walks away with her coke.

I sat there a little shocked the Mute Freak isn't really...well...MUTE!

I stayed there for awhile and cooled down by the wind which was blowing at a slow speed. It felt nice and I could understand why she felt so relaxed. I didn't hate Ally, but my friends and my girlfriend does so technically it's the same thing.

All these years Ally was such an easy target. I was able to get my anger out on her and since she never fought or talked I forgot she was an actual person. I'm not really a bad person...kind of I hope. My parents and I don't get along very well. They have never believed in me and always remind me I'm a failure and watching Ally be sweet and quite it made me think she had a nice and lovable home to go to.

I don't know if this will change things other then the way I see her. She had a voice and it's just a matter of time before she uses it on me.

I hear the bell ring and I decided I should get back to Cassidy. I walk back slowly still thinking of what is yet to come. Elliot runs up to me excited "So, did you take care of her?"

"No, she wasn't there anymore" I lied. Elliot looked disappointed and turned around. I came up behind Cassidy and hugged her. "Hey beautiful." I tell her and she smiles still going through the aftermath of what happened "Don't let her get to you okay?" I make her promise.

"Okay." She replied but I know she has a few tricks up her sleeve, but I ignore it.

I decided to head home. It's been a long two periods and I don't care what happens anymore. I head towards the front of the building and get in my car. I started to drive to my house when I was passing the Miami Mall.

I saw three girls. A Latina girl with dark wavy hair with, a girl with tan skin and dark brown hair and the...Ally? The three were laughing and joking around. I was so off guard I almost drove straight into a pole. I didn't even know she had real friends, I thought she was talking to her sisters.

This world is going crazy. Cassidy basically was embarrassed in front of the Cafeteria. The mute freak speaks AND it has friends. What is happening to this place it's like things are all opposite.

I reach my house and I get out of me car. I rush inside and lay on my couch. Today has been...

Weird.

Very very weird.

I watch the fan above me twirl around and around and around. I played with my dog chain, not knowing what to do. Maybe if I lay here long enough my life will POOF get better. I got a text from someone, I open it and see Dez texted me something

Dez: Hey buddy what's up!

Dez was my best friend and even though he goes to different schools we still hang out a lot.

Me: Nothing much, cut school so I can hang out. Want to come over?

Dez: Sure.

I put my phone down and wait. With Dez I can totally be myself at school I kind of have to be like that so it's nice just to let loose.

Only a few minutes later I heard the door bell ring.

Me: it's open.

In comes Dez with his usual crazy style, red hair and...a black eye?

"Dude, what happened?!" I yell Dez sighs and sits next to me "I hate lockers." It took me awhile to understand what he was implying at, but it finally made sense "You really should watch out for those swinging lockers. They come out of no where." I advise, Dez laughs.

"Mind telling how the heck did you get here so fast." I ask, "Well I was at the Miami Mall hanging out with my friend Trish and her two friends Kira and Ally. Since you live so close to the Mall and I already was in my car...you get it right?"

Wait Ally?!

"Um...does this Ally have brown hair with blonde at the bottom and is she really short?" I questioned, Dez's eyes grow wide and he nods "How did you know?! ARE YOU PSYCHIC!" He exclaims. "No, she's the mute at my school."

"But me and her were talking, I even got to show her how to play melon smash"

"That's what I'm confused about. Every since the first day of High School she has never said a word until today. In music she spoke up and said No then laughed. Also outside I heard her actually talking on the phone." I tell him and Dez looks at me like I was crazy.

"First, No isn't really saying that much so I wouldn't count that. Second, Don't stalk her phone conversations. Third, she was probably talking to someone she knew before she went all shy." Dez explained and now I felt stupid.

"But when Cassidy poured iced tea on her, Ally got up and flicked a crouton at her face then left like nothing happened."

"That's a burn! And also why is that bad, Ally should be able to stand up for herself right?" Dez told me and I felt like a jerk if I said yes she isn't aloud to stand up for herself, but it's like a rule to never do that to a popular...like ever!

Instead I sat there in silence and Dez gave me a victory smile.

"Want to watch Zaliens?" Dez offered and I perked up "YES!"

First Chapter BOOM!

I think I may have an obsession with writing these...oh well. Review if you liked it!
