Hi guys! Sorry for taking forever to put this story up! It needed to be perfect! So here's chapter one! Sorry it's shorts. Gosh I'm full of apologies today! Anyways, here ya go. Chapter 1 of how to heal a broken heart.
Ally's P.O.V.
Trish, Dez, and I were over at Trish's house. She had gathered a end of summer hangout-pool party for just the three of us. The next day would be full of schedules, new students, foreign teachers, and homework galore! Tomorrow is the first day of school. As usual, I was excited. I have all my school supplies ready to go in my backpack. Trish, on the other hand was too lazy to go to school the next day, but she has her outfit planned perfectly. And Dez, well, Dez was rambling on about how excited he was to show his homeroom his goat in show and tell. Tomorrow will be interesting, first letting the goat inside the school somehow, and then him finding out there's no show and tell in senior year of highschool.
"Ugh, do we have to go to school tomorrow?" Trish complained. "Can't we just ditch?" She continued. I gaped at her, Trish had never suggested ditching school, especially on the first day of school.
"Ditch? On the first day of school? No way! You're lucky if you get me to ditch on senior ditch day!" I exclaimed.
"Whatever" Trish went back to reading her magazine.
The next day, Austin's P.O.V.
Today's my first day of school at Marino High in Miami, Florida. I'm the only new student this year. When I walk through the doors, I see some kid trying to bring a goat into school. As I walked past him I thought I heard something about show and tell? Man this school is strange. I quickly make my way to the secretary's office through all the hustle and bustle of the first day of school. Teenagers with long faces dragging themselves through the hall, immature guys throwing paper airplanes and pushing kids around. Once I'm in the secretary's office,I step in front of her desk.
"Why hello, young man. How may I help you?" The older lady asked me.
"Yeah, um, hi. My name's Austin Moon. I'm a new kid a-" I was quickly cut off.
"-And you need your schedule. Just give me a second to look through the folders. Moon, hmmm...Oh yes here it is. Austin Moon Schedule 2015-2016. Here you go!" She says as she hands me my schedule.
"Uh, thanks-" I look at her name tag. "-Mrs. Stewarts," I quickly finished. I look down at my schedule and make my way towards my advisor. You see, this school does this thing where you spend 15 minutes with a teacher and about 10 other kids. It's the same teacher and kids everyday for your whole time at the high don't learn anything but the teacher tells you school announcements and makes sure all of their students are there that day. On Wednesdays we get 30 minutes instead of 15 minutes in advisor. We also start school later on Wednesdays. I only know this because my mom insisted on knowing everything about the school before I attended.
Apparently my advisor is Mrs. Grover in room 116. I look at the number on the secretary office door and read the number 124. I start walking a random direction down the hall, not knowing if numbers went high or lower that way. I look around and start to get lost before I finally see someone walking down the hall, advisor started 5 minutes ago. I'm late. It's a girl with brown ombre hair into a golden honey color.
"Hey, um, I think I'm lost. Do you know where room 116 is?" I ask her.
"Room 116...Sorry I don't know the rooms by numbers. Do you know the teacher's name?" She replies.
"Uh...yeah Mrs. Grover." I answer her question.
"Oh I was just heading that way! I'm in her advisor and I was just doing her a favor," She says. I look down at the stack of music in her arms.
"I'm in her advisor to. I'm new this year. Is she the music teacher by any chance?" I ask her. She gives me a confused look.
"How did you know that?" She asks in bewilderment. I chuckle and nod down at the music in her arms. "Oh! Oh my god, yeah, yeah she is. Sorry that was kinda dumb of me." She looks down and blushes.
"Hey, hey, hey, that wasn't dumb of you at all! You just forgot about the music." I reassure her with a smile.
Ally's P.O.V.
"Hey, hey, hey, that wasn't dumb of you at all! You just forgot about the music." I look up and smile at the blonde boy I only just met. Then I realized I don't know his name, and he doesn't know mine.
"My name is Ally." I say, smiling.
"Austin." He replies. Austin. I like that name. It starts with an "A", like Ally.
"So, do you have a boyfriend...or girlfriend...or…" Austin asks me awkwardly.
"Yeah, uh no. I'm never gonna fall in love. And I'm straight, by the way," I reply.
"Really? You don't think you'll ever fall in love? Why is that?" Austin asks me. I sigh and look down. I think about all I've been through.
"Personal reasons and experiences."
"Ahhh" He doesn't push it. Finally we get to the music room after a only slightly awkward silence. Before we walk into the music room Austin says:
"Well, I still believe in love. I don't think this world could be what it is without love."
"Good for you, but just so you know, this world is a lot harsher than it looks." I could feel my face start to heat up and tears build up in my eyes. And with that, I walk into the music room.
Austin's P.O.V.
"Good for you, but just so you know, this world is a lot harsher than it looks." Ally looked like she was about to cry before she simply turned and walked into the music room. It took me a few seconds to comprehend what she just said and actually walk into the music room. Why is Ally suddenly so dark? Has something happened to her in the past? Something about love? Whatever it is, I'm not gonna push her to tell me. She'll tell me when she's ready. Even if that means she'll never tell me. Because pushing her to do anything I think will make things worse.
I follow her into the music room. Immediately I see eight other students, including Ally, and the music teacher. The music teacher has dyed light blonde hair and a big smile on her face.
"Ahhh you must be Austin! The new student here. We're glad to have you join us. You are a little late but I know this school can be hard to navigate on the first day. And, luckily for you, I haven't counted for attendance yet." said to me.
"Uh...Thank you. Ally helped me get here." I shooted Ally a smile and she game me a small smile back that quickly swept off her face again.
"Oh, well, that was very nice of you Ally." Ally gave a small smile to. It didn't last long. then took attendance and read that day's announcements. Nothing important. There was still 7 minutes left of advisor so Ally and I talked in the back for the rest of it. She was describing each kid in the advisor. So far, there was Kennedy (the super fake spoiled brat), Eric (The cocky, arrogant, lie-telling jock), Adam (The quiet but fun jock), Lily (The not-so-popular book lover who craves attention), Carol (the fun sporty girl), Hailey (The loud sporty girl who is on a diet to gain weight and is best friends with Carol), and Alona (the music lover and fashionista of the school, apparently she pretty quiet unless you get to know her better, then she's silly and fun, also one of Ally's best friends) There was one left.
"And last but definitely not least is Connor, he has down syndrome but loves sports. Everybody here loves him. He's never bullied. He's really fun and cool." Ally told me as she pointed to a kid with squinted eyes and glasses who definitely look like he has down syndrome.
"So how do you fit into this?" I ask her, quirking my head to the side.
"What do you mean?" She asks me timidly.
"What's your role in this advisor?" I ask her with a smile.
"Um...I guess the bookworm, music loving girl with a broken heart." She says, looking down.
Hope you liked it! Follow, favorite, and review! It means the world to me!
