...

So hey...this is a story I have been working on and I want you guys to read it so...here you go. :)

o0o

"Your going to come home late again Ally?" My dad asks from the kitchen sink.

I sighed and got up grabbing my book and duffel bag. "Yes dad, I need to practice for my big recital in a week." I reply and stick my book in my duffel bag and slip it on my shoulder.

" Alright, but no later than eleven because you still have home work and school-" He starts.

I smirk and kissed his cheek. "I know dad,...alright I have to go if I want to get to school early bye! Love you!" I say and walk out the door. I snapped the door shut and walked off my front porch. Walking on the side walk I think about dance, music and what I am going to wear for the audition...for the recital. Dad doesn't know that I don't take ballet lessons he thinks i'm paying for, heck I'm broke! I kinda do the whole 'Another Cinderella Story'(1) thing where she takes it in the studio and watches them from behind the see through mirror. Besides there is a recital but you have to audition for the parts like a play, and anyone can audition.

Now at a running pace I keep on thinking. You see practice starts at 8 and ends at nine thirty, which is uh...really late to me and dad, I made up a fib that I have extra curricular activities that requires me to stay after school for extra credit...I did that because I want to practice more and it's easier to chance over there. Ballet and music are my life, it takes up a lot other than school.

I stop walking and look up at my huge school, Freedom Day School it has elementary, middle school and High school. The worst thing is that Cassidy Freedom is the daughter of the principal who owns and runs the place! Her daddy is filthy rich do to his family. I sighed and walked into the school head down hoping no one will notice me.

"Why does she always carry a duffel bag? Doesn't it, like, hurt her arm or something?" I hear someone say. So much for being noticed. I just hope I don't bump into Cassidy on my way to my locker. I hear a scream and I look up seeing Cassidy yelling at some poor kid who stepped on her toe. Speak. Of. The. Devil.

I freeze once she growls in frustration and gives up on the kid. She smiles evilly once she spots me and walks over. I'm dead. I look down and see her ruby red heels click as she gets closer. I squint and I see a little black smudge on her left heel. Eh...not much there just the little black smudges that you can easily wipe off with a sock, not really a big deal. I keep on looking down and I see the red heels get closer. Ha-ha red heels...Dorothy...that would work perfectly as a Halloween costume.

I hear a snap and I instantly look up seeing a scowling Cassidy. "Uh..oh...hi?" I reply and mentally slap myself.

She scowls even harder. " I heard there was something secret in the big duffel bag of yours and I thought...humph it wouldn't be so secret if somebody knew about it right?" She says in a sickly sweet tone. I almost choke on my saliva.

"W-what are talking about? There is absolutely n-nothing in here except some supplies for the school I w-wanted to give some teachers..." I say quickly and she gives me a look.

"And that includes?" She asks and I step back trying my hardest to advert my eyes away from her icy stare. The whole hall got quiet and I gulped. Now I'm noticed.

"Um...a...twelve pack of rulers...pencils...a-a uh..." I start and walk back only to trip on my old black sneakers. Whoopee you totally won this battle Ally, just like all the other ones that failed! My duffel bag flys into the air and everything flys out of my bag and everything is slow motion, I see my book, leotard, tutu, shoes, everything fly in the air but eventually time stops and it all falls onto the floor. My book falls right before Cassidy and she smirks and picks it up. My face shows pure horror and I desperately wan to get up and grab everything off of the floor but I don't budge.

Cassidy's hand delicately gazes the cover, inspecting it and feeling the felt and leather that acts as a design on the book."Humph...now heres a thought, a little brown book flying in the air that lands delicately into my my little fingers...I wonder who this book could possibly belong to...possibly a hopeless wannabe." She smiles and slips the book into her purse and clickty-clacks away. I get up and silently pick up everything on the floor, and stick it in my gray duffel bag. Some people are still watching in disgust and others lose interest. I zip up my duffel bag and I get up and walk away feeling my throat tighten.

She has my book, the same book that has all of my upmost embarrassing and secret...well...SECRETS!


How do I get my book back? I am currently at math class freaking out about my book. I sat there for the next to minutes biting my lip and staring at the clock.

9:45...still 9:45...wait! Now it's 9:46! Yeah...that pretty much explains it.

I feel a tap on my shoulder and I turn around completely forgetting about who sits behind me every day in the morning for math class...I mean how do you forget that? The one and only Austin, Austin Moon. He is Cassidy's current boyfriend. He is The King of The School and Cassidy is Naturally the queen. Austin can easily get other people's love and affection, he he a song from Neon Trees (3), and can attract so many people in the morning when he comes to school. He is my complete opposite, he is never alone even if it's some random girl he meets at the beach, and I am always alone but only because I prefer to.

He flicks a crumpled note onto my desk and points at it. I give him an uneasy look, and turn around to open it. I open it carefully, not wanting to make any noise.

' I heard what happened this morning.' It says. I roll my eyes and grab my pencil jolting down a response.

' Of course you did...you know everybody. And what's the reminder for? You here to laugh about it?' I write and crumple it up again and toss it back on his desk with a tap.

Before I know it the note flys back and I open it again.

' Not nesscisarly...I don't know you...anyways I know where your book is and I can help you find it.' It says and I squeal in delight. I cover my mouth as everyone's eyes are on me.

"Math must be fun for you Miss Dawson, nice to see you excited but for disrupting my class you can do extra homework, do questions 1-30 instead of 1-20." says and goes back to writing on the board. I silently groan...I already did my homework for the week and my schedule was empty! Now I have to do ten extra questions!

I quickly write down my reply and throw it back. 'Thanks a lot hot shot but I had already finished my homework and now I have to do extra but, you know where my book is? That's amazing! Can you get it for me because, that's pretty self explanatory'

He passes it back again and I read it. 'Maybe, I'll talk to you at lunch because that's our next period and Math ends in about three seconds'

I look up and the bell rings catching me off guard.

"Alright you are free to go now!" says and I rapidly get out of my seat grabbing my book bag that has my things for school and the note. I run out of the room hoping to get to lunch because...that book is really important.
