Detention Forever

"What's wrong with you? Why are you acting this way?!" she asked.

"I'm still the same Austin, just cooler." I leaned against the car.

"No, no, no! You are not the same. Ever since the day you kissed me, I was so happy! But you, you changed into this, this superstar!"

"Whatever." I started walking away.

You don't get it, do you!? No, because you don't get how much it hurts to be hurt, alone, with no one to lean on! You're Austin Moon, the baddest boy in school!" I scoffed. "I do." she looked at me, teary eyed, walking to catch up with me.

"Well then, Mr. Moon, Mr. Pop Icon, how much does it hurt to get your heart ripped out by a teenage boy?" I was silent.

I couldn't tell her how much I loved her.

"Well, I'm going inside. Thanks for nothing, Austin."


-TWO WEEKS EARLIER-

Austin's POV:

"Hey." I made Ally jump. "Austin! You're back, I missed you! How was your trip to Wisconsin?" she hugged me, I hugged her back.

"Well, my grandmother got sick, so I don't know about well." I joked. "Really? Your nana is sick? Tell her Ally said hi and I hope that she gets better." Ally sounded concerned.

"Oh, I have something for you, Als." I got out a gold necklace and put it around her neck. "Austin, that's beautiful. Thank you so much. That is the sweetest thing anyone has ever gotten for me. How much did it cost?"

"Around a hundred bucks." she hit me playfully. "Dude! That much money? I didn't get you anything. I owe you something." I heard her say. "Nah, you don't owe me a thing. Just your friendship is enough for me." she smiled.

"Austin seriously, thank you." she closed her locker and walked down the hall with me. "You know I admire you." I said.

"Wanna go to my house after school?" I said, poking her continuously. "I wish I could, but I have piano lessons and I have to do homework." I sighed. I have to annoy her like I used to do. "Awwwwww, pleaseee? I loveee youuuu, I loveee youuuuuuu. Pleaseeeeeeeeee?" I begged.

"Alright, alright. I'll work on my homework during lunch and I'll work something out with my grandparents." Ally lived with her grandparents since her parents died.

I was there for her through everything. "Now, if you excuse me, I have to go to class. See you later, Austy." she roughed my hair as she went to class.

I have to go to History now. I went to class after Ally went to her class, and sat down.

"Today I will assign partners for the 7, 500 word history paper. Any questions or objections?" I waited.

"I will take attendance. Where's Dylan Parker?" I shrugged. "Looks like we only one student absent." Mr. Goldenburg said.

"The partners for this assignment are: Dylan Parker and Mackenzie Truse, Sahara Maky and Danielle MapleTree, Austin Moon and Mackie Dawson."

I got Mackie?! She is so cute. Mackie is Ally's big sister.

I got out of schoolat 3:15 p.m., and I was barricaded by a posse of girls. What the heck? "Hey Moon, why you hang out with Dawson?" Diana, a girl in my third period class, asked, chewing her gum.

"Ummm, excuse me?" I shyly asked, uncomfortably.

"That Dawson girl is so annoying. Wouldn't you rather hang out with us than with that geek?" Kathryn, a girl in my eighth period class asked, snickering and getting uncomfortably close to me.

"'Dawson' is not a freak, she's the coolest girl I know. Ally Dawson is my best friend, you shouldn't judge her." I spoke loud and clear.

"Ooh, sounds like Austin has a crush on Dawson!" Lauren snickered.

"Why would you care if I had a crush on her? It's not even your business. What goes on between me and her is personal." I spoke.

"On the contrary, Moon. We would care because snooping around is our way of spreading admiration to people like you." Lauren smirked.

"I don't talk to people like you." I said, walking away. "Fine,"

"But at least tell us one thing," Lauren said, running to catch up to me.

"Do you like her?"

Ally's POV:

I came around the corner, seeing Austin with three girls surrounding him. I cupped my ears to listen to what they were saying.

"'Dawson' is not a freak, she's the coolest girl I know. Ally Dawson is my best friend, you shouldn't judge her."

"Ooh, sounds like Austin has a crush on Dawson!"

"Why would you care if I had a crush on her? It's not even your business. What goes on between me and her is personal."

"On the contrary, Moon. We would care because snooping around is our way of spreading admiration to people like you."

"I don't talk to people like you." Austin was walking away.

"Fine," a girl, scooting to keep up with him. "But at least tell us one thing,"

"Do you like her?" Austin looked frozen.

"I, uh, well, I... Um, sure, in some way." he stuttered. I smiled to myself. "I knew it! Listen people, AUSTIN MOON LIKES ALLY DAWSON!"

"SHUT UP, Lauren! What the fuck?" I gasped, I had never heard Austin cuss before. I stepped out. "You like me, Austin?" I ask a stunned Austin.

"Uh, I, uh... No!" he was lying and blushing.

"Austin, look me in the eye and tell me that you don't have the slightest feelings for me." I dared him.

"Fine," he looked up to me. "I love hanging out with you and every day for me is a rush. Everything's perfect when you're around. But I don't wanna date you." I was sad. "Why not?" I looked down. He lifted my chin up, and told me something. "It's not you. But I just don't wanna ruin our relationship if we ever break up." he told me.

"I guess." I fiddled with my fingers. "So did you call your grandparents, and tell them you're coming to mine?" he asked, breaking the awkward silence between us. "Yeah, I did." he smiled, but I didn't. "What's wrong? You're not still hung up on the 'liking you' thing, right?" he asked, us walking away from the school district.

"Nah, nah. How much of a big deal for me to feel sad for someone who likes me but does not want to go out with me?" I asked sarcastically. "Look, I'm sorry. I just don't think we can date just yet. Besides I need my space, I'm a guy." he spoke.

"Oh, oh, so you wouldn't get jealous if I had a guy?" I asked. "Well, it actually depends. If the guy is cute, I would occasionally get jealous." Austin sighed.

"Would you be jealous if I got a girl?" he asked, flipping his luscious hair the other way. "Sure." I said. "Sure? What's that supposed to mean?" he laughed with me, bumping into me. "Hey, there's your house." I said, pointing to his red, tiny house.

We ran into his house, throwing our bags on the ground. "Welcome home, Austin. Hi Ally, are you hungry?" Austin's dad asked. "Um, I'm not that hungry. Thanks for asking, Mr. Moon." I said, smiling. "Tell me if you are. Mrs. Moon is cooking chicken soup." he told us.

"We're fine." Austin told him. Austin ran upstairs, and signaled me to go with him.

We went upstairs. To the best of my ability, I'll describe Austin's room.

His room was a vivid blue, the bed next to the master window, guitar next to his bed, TV on the stand that was far away from his bed.

I laid down on his bed, belly down. "Hey, do you have any projects this week?" I asked. "Why do you ask?" he rudely exclaimed.

"Excuse me, I'm just asking a question here. Why are you being so rude all of a sudden?" I looked at him with my big brown eyes.

"Why are you so annoying?" he wouldn't look at me.

"I really don't appreciate your attitude." I got up and walked toward him. "Austin, tell me what's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing is wrong! God, can't you just leave me alone?!" he exclaimed. "Austin, I thought we were friends." I said.

"You thought wrong." I heard him say. "Well, if you really feel that way, maybe we shouldn't be best friends." I sighed.

"Maybe we shouldn't." he whispered. I sighed again. I opened his fist, and gave him his gift to me. "Here, take it." I held my tears. "Goodbye Austin." I closed the door behind me and ran downstairs.

"Thank you for everything, Mister and Missus Moon. I gotta go home to my grandparents." I was about to leave when Mrs. Moon stopped me.

"Hey Ally, bring this chicken soup home to your grandparents. Tell them that I said hi." I received the chicken soup and began walking home.

Why was Austin acting so weird?


I wanted to make Austin super obnoxious but since this is the first chapter, I thought why not make them friends? I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you next chapter!
