AN: haven't made a good story in a while that I didn't delete.

Okay that's just sad.

I'm so freaking excited to start this new fanfic, and I hope you're excited to read it! I don't own Austin and Ally, so let's get on with the fanfic!

Song of the chapter: Shes Kinda Hot by 5 Seconds of Summer (has nothing to do with the chapter, just a good song. You can listen to any song you want. There are future chapters that will have certain songs that go with the chapter so yeah! (btw im a huge Taylor Swift fan so if anyone wants to bond over that, that would be great! :)))

Not In That Way

Chapter 1

Austin's POV

Friday, September 17th 2015

Why did she have to be so perfect?

My best friend, Ally Dawson, was possibly the most perfect person on earth. Perfect hair, perfect grades, perfect body, perfect everything. She was undeniably perfect, and everyone knew it, except for her of course.

I've known Ally for as long as I can remember, but I've also liked her for as long as I can remember.

Honestly, I'm shocked that she hasn't figured it out yet, considering how smart she is. Sometimes I feel like I'm really obvious and she still doesn't notice. Seriously, here I am, watching her run down the steps in front of her house, her perfect ombré curls bouncing up and down, and her beautiful beaming smile which was almost never seemed to completely come off her face, and she still doesn't suspect that I have feelings for her.

"Hey, are you ready to go?" she said, smiling with felicity.

"Yeah," I said, walking over to the drivers side. I opened the door, sat down, and buckled up. "Explain to me, how is it humanly possible to like school?" I say.

"I've told you at least ten million times Austin, I don't really love school, but I don't hate it. I get to see my friends, chill at lunch, but I still get good old education! Now speaking of school, if you don't start the car soon, we'll be late to it."

"Okay, I'll get going." I said. There's no way I could ever say no to her; trust me, I've tried before. I started the car up, and started driving the regular route to Marino High School.

"Thank you, Austin."

"You are very welcome Ally." I said.

"What are your plans for this weekend?"

"I don't know, probably gonna do something with Dez and purposely leave you out to make you think that I'm mad at you or something." I said jokingly. When I hang out with friends and don't invite Ally, she usually freaks out. A lot.

"Please invite me over! I get lonely sometimes you know..." Ally said, giving me the most adorable little puppy eyes in the world

And of course, me being me, and her being Ally, I couldn't say no.

"Ugh, your lucky you're basically my sister." I said, parking the car in the school lot.

"OH MY FREAKING GOSH IT AUSTIN THANK YOU I LOVE YOU!" She said, unbuckling her seat belt and leaning over to give me a peck on the cheek.

If only that "I love you" was an "I'm in love with you."

If only that kiss on the cheek was a kiss on the lips.

If only she had loved me back.

-A&A-

Ally and I walked into school, and she turned one way and I turned the other. Our lockers were put very far apart by request from my mom and Ally's, who told the principle that we would "distract" each other during the most important year of our high school careers.

Sometimes I really hate my mom.

I walked down the hallway to my locker, which was fortunately placed next to Dallas Carson's, who's a good friend of mine. "Hey Austin, what's up?" Dallas said while gathering his books for first period from his locker.

"Eh. Nothing much really." I said, opening up my own locker, grabbing my books and immediately closing my locker.

Nope, just got kissed on the cheek by my best friend who I also happen to have a huge ass crush on. No big deal.

But of course, Dallas didn't know about my feelings for Ally.

No one did.

Not even Dez, cause let's be honest, how could he ever keep his mouth shut?

"Oh come on Moon, you must have something going on." Dallas said, still sifting through his locker for his math textbook.

"The homecoming game is next Friday." I responded.

"Well no shit, I'm on the friggin team!" Dallas said in a little bit of a laughing tone.

"Whatever," I said, rolling my eyes. "What's going on with you?" I asked.

"Well there's this girl I have a thing for, but I don't think she likes me back." Dallas said, closing his locker and turning to face me.

"Ask her out and you'll find out if she likes you or not dipshit." I said, feeling in the mood to be sarcastic.

"I guess you're right Moon." Dallas said as we started walking down the right wing of the 12th grade hall.

"As always."

"You are so fucking full of it Monica."

"Shhh! Someone might hear you!"

"MONICA!"

"I will not hesitate to murder you Dallas."

"Okay, Fine! I won't say your middle name anymore."

"Good."

"Bye Monica." Dallas said with a smirk on his face as he slid into Mrs. Rothschild's math class, which I would be attending second period. I usually would follow him and get back at him, but I would be late to class and it wasn't worth the detention. If you get four or more detentions, you are suspended from your athletic team for 1-3 games; and I wouldn't give up playing football for some silly revenge plot on Dallas for calling me by my middle name.

I would just have to get back at him later.

I walked down the right hall, turning into my first period class, art, with the beautiful Ally Dawson.

"Hey Alls," Ally's head shot up from her doodling, and she turned to face me. "Are you coming to the game next week?"

"Of course! I wouldn't miss it for anything Austin. I would rather go and support you than stay at home and watch Netflix like I usually would." Ally said, her lips slowly forming a giant smile.

She looked stunning. Of course I normally wouldn't say that out loud, especially to Ally, but in my head, my mouth works faster than my brain.

"You look..."

"I look what? Do I look bad? Do I have something stuck in my teeth?" Ally said.

"No, you look good." I said, desperately trying to save myself.

"Well thanks Aus, I'm glad you enjoy this look. You don't look half bad yourself." She said.

I may or may not have broke out in a huge ass blush.

No more than a second later, the bell rang.

Talk about saved by the bell.

AN: WOWIE WAS THAT SHORT/LONG! Like it's a short chapter, sorry bout that btw, yet it took a long time to plan and write, so I'm happy it's finally out! Okay, so as some of you saw, at the beginning of the chapter, the actual date (in America at least) was at the top, and that's that date the story is set in. Do you think it would be cool to make every time I upload set on that date? I think it would be cool, but if I end the story with them graduating, which I may or may not do, (still deciding what to do) the story would end in late May- early June because that's when I get out of school. Now if I end the story with them graduating, but I don't go on a real life schedule, the story would be a little less tedious, but it would probably be over from late November to early January. What should I do? Please review and tell me weather you want me to post on a real life schedule or make up dates. Also, should I re name this fic "Your in Love" or keep it as "Not In That Way?" THANK YOU TO THOSE WHO READ THIS LONG AN. ACTUALLY IN YOUR REVIEW, IF YOU READ THIS WHOLE AN, MENTION IN THE REVIEW THAT YOU DID AND YOULL GET A SHOUT OUT AT THE BEGGING OF THE NEXT CHAPTER BECAUSE IF YOU READ ALL OF THAT U SLAY!
