Ally's POV.
Beep… Beep…Beep
Groaning I rolled over and stuffed my face into my pillow. Praying it would stop I kept my eyes closed, embraced in my plush comforter. Sighing I drifted off losing myself in the warmth of my bed.
Beep…Beep…Beeeeepp
Grasping onto the pillow next to me I planted it onto the side of my head trying to drown out my alarm clock. As hard as I tried to ignore its insistent rambling I finally gave in and sat up. Grabbing my Minnie Mouse alarm clock I hit the power button and read 6:30. Yawning I put it back down right next to my leather journal on my night stand. Pitching my legs off the side of my bed I placed my feet on the cold, hardwood floor. Shivering I got up and snatched a blanket from the foot of my bed tossing it over my night shorts/ t-shirt. Wrapping it snuggly around my body I went down stairs into the kitchen.
Sitting down at the small wooden table on a cold wooden chair I was greeted by my father, who sat across from me. Pushing a plate of eggs and a fork my way he said "eat up."
Numbly picking up the fork I stuffed my face barely aware of the fact that I had to chew and swallow at the same time.
When I was done I put my plate in the copper sink and said "thanks".
Taking one step at a time back up to my room I strolled in and grabbed a pair of red skinny jeans and a grey tank top from my blue dresser. It was my mother's when she was my age and she just never had the heart to get rid of it. Climbing out of my pj's I pulled on my jeans, a bra and quickly put on my tank top. Still half asleep I staggered into my bathroom and flipped on the light switch. Turning on the faucet I could have cared less if it was hot or cold. Not giving it a second thought I splashed my face and gasped turning the water off. Spluttering I instantly regretted that decision and turned to the towel rack behind me and wiped my face. Fully awake I opened a sink drawer and took out a pink make-up bag that was filled with you guessed it, make-up. Quickly taking out my concealer I flipped open the lid and grabbed a blush brush from the bag. Rubbing it on until I was satisfied I put my concealer away and then I put on my brown eyeliner, bronze eye shadow, and finally some mascara. Once I was done I made faces in the mirror as I brushed my brown hair. Surprisingly it had remained straight from yesterday morning.
Once I was done I put everything away and grabbed a black forever 21 jacket from my closet and put it on, zipping it up half way. Glancing over at my night stand I read 7:45. Crap! Briskly walking over to my stinking night stand I grabbed my journal and my backpack from my desk under the window. Striding out of my room I closed the door and ran out of the house quickly yelling out to my dad "thanks for breakfast! Have a good day, I'll see you at the store."

Ally's Pov.
When I walked into school (Marino high) I took in a deep breath and sighed. Looking around I stopped for a second taking everything in. On the left were a couple of guys who were wearing stiff football jackets. Next to them were a group of cheerleaders who wore Marino cheerleader outfits. Rolling my eyes I watched as they giggled and glanced at the boys who were practically drooling. Standing between them I noticed Cassidy wearing her cheerleading outfit leaning against a locker under Austin with his football jacket, his arm positioned over her head as he kissed her. Mentally I wanted to shut it out. Austin was such a player and an impressively good football player who seemed to have lost his brain on the field and replaced it with his ego. He was the reason for my foul mood and I really wanted nothing to do with him. Cassidy on the other hand was way and above girly. She put a bad name in the word girl. She was crude/ pushy, and she made sure I knew it.
Tearing my eyes away from their display of passion I walked over to my locker on the other side of the hallway. Twisting my lock I put in my combination propping open my locker. Taking off my backpack I unzipped it and took out my books, placing them below my metal pink shelf. Looking at the white board that was magnetically attached to my locker door I grabbed my materials for my next class and closed my locker. Putting my materials into the pouch of my bag I reached in and grabbed my phone about to text Trish.
When I zipped up my backpack I turned around and found myself face to face with the one person I absolutely did not want to see. Austin. Plastered on his perfect face was a slight grin. "Didn't we make it obvious that we don't want you in our school" he asked sarcastically. Looking over his shoulder I noticed that his troops of jocks/ cheerleaders were glaring over at me. Glaring at him I said "Does it look like I'm interested in your opinion." Laughing he said "Does it look like it matters what you want. You're a nobody, a low life. No one likes you. You're not wanted here." Lost for words I looked down at the suddenly interesting black and white tiled floor. Coming up next to him Cassidy Grabbed his hand and laughed. Smiling she said "That's rite shut it. You don't belong here. Go and take your ugly face with you and leave." Tearing up I didn't bother to wipe away my tears. Reaching down for my backpack I found that the strap was under Cassidy's foot. Quickly looking up I found her smiling, smirking she said "Oops!" When she finally moved her foot I grabbed my bag and bolted. When I finally reached the bathroom I ran in locking the door behind me. With my back pressed up against the door I slid to the floor resting my forehead on my knees.

Austins Pov.
When Cassidy came over and grabbed my hand I wanted to swat her hand away. I wasn't sure why but I wanted nothing to do with her at the moment. When I heard Cassidy speak to Ally I felt a little guilty about it. That is until she started crying. At that point I wanted to yell at my girlfriend and take ahold of Ally so I could tell her I didn't mean it. That she was beautiful. That I Austin Monica Moon wanted her. Ughh what was I thinking. She's a low life, a freak. Get ahold of yourself Austin, I thought shaking my head. Forcing myself to smile, I mentally willed Ally to go away. As she was about to go I felt Cassidy's hand tighten around mine as she suppressed a smile. Confused I watched Ally look up at Cassidy her eyes puffy and red. Looking down at the floor trying to look away I realized that Cassidy's foot was on Ally's backpack keeping her here. Gripping her hand tightly I tried to tell her to move so Ally could go. Eventually she did just that letting Ally gather her stuff and run.
When she was out of ear shot Cassidy turned to me and hit me on the arm and said "Let go, you're hurting me." Gladly I dropped her hand and made a move to walk away from her.
Catching me by my around she asked "Honey Bear, where are you going?"
Luckily at that moment the bell rang giving me a perfect excuse. Once again plastering a smile on my face I said "Going to class. I really don't need another detention. I have plans this weekend."
Slipping her hand into mine she said "awww that's so sweet. Why didn't you tell me that you were planning on something special to do with me?"
Mentally hitting my forehead I thought 'not with you'. Going along with it I said "Yeah that's exactly why I want to get to class. Now come on. We're going to be late."
With everything I had in me I forced myself to hold her hand as we strode down the hallway.
…
Ally's Pov.
Tired of crying and out of tears I got up and sniffled. Brushing my butt off, I turned on the bathroom faucet. Cleaning up my smeared make up I took in some shallow breaths, thinking of my mother who used to comfort me as a child. She would sit me in her lap and stroke my hair singing something soothing. Snapping back into reality I heard the warning bell. Taking one last glance at my appearance I realized that you really couldn't tell that I had been crying. Picking up my bag I unlocked the door and headed to first period. When I stepped into the class I slipped into my desk on the far right side. Taking out my journal and a pen I opened up to a new page and wrote down everything that had just happened. Scribbling down some music lyrics I cleverly thought of synonyms for words that sounded boring else wise.
When I heard my teacher's voice say "Alright class quiet down. Quiet down. Let's take roll" I closed my journal and put it back into my backpack where I knew it was safe.
Looking around I found Austin and Cassidy sitting behind me. Quickly looking away I didn't dare turn around even though I could feel Austin's foot on the seat rack shaking my body. When Mr. Boise called out my name I said "here."
Chuckling Cassidy said in a quite squeaky voice imitating me "here!"
Ignoring her I did my utmost best to take extra interest in the science lesson. To tell you the truth I really have no idea what we learned about, Austin had been making me shake so much that I just wanted to turn around and say stop. However I refrained from doing just that. Finally the bell rang sending us to second period. Silently I grabbed my items and left avoiding Austin and Cassidy.
….
Austin's Pov.
During second period I had the luck of sitting next to Ally. When I sat down in that tiny desk I automatically felt claustrophobic. Luckily Cassidy wasn't in this period with me. I really needed a break from her. That's it. That's why I didn't want her to be with me this morning. When I see her at lunch I'm sure we'll be fine. Lost in my train of thought I was snapped back into reality when someone tapped my shoulder. Looking behind me I found myself face to face with Dez.
Unintentionally I said "hugh?"
Before Dez could answer with something crazy I heard a voice from the front of the room say "Austin. Austin Moon up here."
Luckily the rest of the class didn't say anything as I turned around and looked up at Mrs. Davidson. Clearing her throat she coughed and said "Can you please pay attention."
Concerned for my teacher due to the fact that she had just coughed I said "sure. But are you ok do you need water? I can go get some for you."
Innocently looking at her I watched her face switch into a quizzical look as the rest of the class laughed. Confused and honestly glad that everyone thought I was joking she didn't give it a second thought and went on with the rest of the class. Every so often I couldn't help but look over at Ally mentally praising her good looks. Her hair. Her eyes. Her skin. Oh Ally you're so hot. Realizing what I was thinking I pinched my arm clearing my mind. How could I think of Ally like this, she's a nobody a geek. With great strain I looked down at my desk waiting for class to end. Please dear God just end it. That's when the bell rang and I smiled to myself. Getting up I unintentionally looked over at Ally who wasn't there anymore.
Sighing I grabbed my backpack and waited for Dez who was holding his football jacket. Walking out we walked back to our lockers to grab some more stuff. Looking at me Dez said "Sorry. I wanted to tell you the birds watching you but I was too late. Sorry man."
Confused I said "Dez, what bird."
Laughing as if I were stupid Dez said "Obviously the teacher. Who else?"
About to say something I was interrupted by Cassidy who locked lips with me in the middle of the hallway. Holding onto her hips I stepped in forgetting what had happened earlier. Breathing in through my nose I smiled while still kissing her, tasting her lip gloss which tasted like apples. Unaware of the fact that Dez had left I was shocked when I had stopped kissing Cassidy to say something. Instead I took her hand and walked to my locker.
…..
Ally's POV.
At lunch I met up with Trish. Finally, I really needed someone to talk to. She was there waiting for me at my locker. From a distance I could tell she was pretty bored, but still she was waiting for me, which meant the world to me.
When I got to her she automatically lit up and said "Ally. You wouldn't believe it. Guess who just got a new job." It wasn't hard to tell that it was her since she was wearing a shirt that had dogs of all shapes and sizes all over it.
Playing along I said "Ummm. Did you get a job Trish?"
Nodding she struck a pose like a model on runway and said "You are now looking at the newest groomer."
Giggling I said "Are you going to work after school."
Nodding her head she said "Of course. I weirdly like this job. I'm a fashionair."
Aware of the fact that this wouldn't last long from years of experience I simply said "Well I'm impressed. You go style them dogs. Anyways let's go outside I have so much to tell you."
…
Sitting out on the grass under an old redwood tree we rested our backs on the trunk. After I had taken out a pickle sandwich from my backpack I took a bite of it.
Swallowing I turned to Trish and said "Oh my god this is so yummy."
Laughing she said "Sure it is Ally. But wasn't there something you wanted to tell me?" Nodding I spilled out everything that had happened. When I was done Trish was fuming.
"God I can't believe their nerve. Ally if I had been there I would have given them a piece of my mind. If only I could get my hands on them I would knock them around. You know what we really need to do is get revenge." Smiling she seemed to get lost in her world of said revenge.
Laughing and glad that I had Trish as My BFF I called out to her breaking her trance. "No I really don't want to get revenge. You know that you should always use your words." Nodding she was on the verge of saying something further about the situation but the bell cut her off and being me I had no intention of being late.
Quickly getting up I grabbed my belongings and called out "See you at the music store."
Yelling back to me do to the fact that I was already at the steps she said "No my job. I'll see you tomorrow. Sorry Girl."
When I entered fifth period I sat down in front of the class. Reaching into my bag I pulled out my calculator, a pencil and my sparkly orange spiral note book as well as my journal. When everything was out on my desk neatly organized I realized what Trish had said. Disappointed I opened my journal writing down some last minute thoughts. But then class began and I couldn't risk not listening else wise I would fall behind. Every so often after I had finished a math problem an image of Austin and Cassidy would pop into my mind because they all sat in the back of the classroom. My math teacher was the football coach so it only made sense that he would favor them above everyone else. Taking my frustration out on one problem in particular I didn't hear Mr. Coalls call on me. When I felt everyone's eyes on me I froze and looked up.
Looking back at me Mr. Coalls said "Ally do you have the answer."
Clearing my throat I quietly said "Ummmm, yes sir." Mr. Coalls leaned forward trying to hear me but my stage fright got the best of me and I wasn't capable of speaking any louder.
Feeling sympathetic Mr. Coalls said "That's rite Ally it's 57." Wishing he really hadn't done that I was prepared for the laughter that welcomed me as everyone talked about me. Gritting my teeth I looked down and played with my hair. By the time the class had quieted down without Mr. Coalls yelling at his football team the bell had rung. Slowly packing up my stuff I watched everyone leave including Cassidy who flipped her hair my way and grabbed onto Austin who seemed to stiffen. When everyone was gone I got up and left. Without Austin in my next two classes they came and went pretty quickly. Finally I was able to walk out of school, fresh air screaming out freedom. Smiling to myself I knew that I had made it through another day.
…
Austin's POV.
After school I drove Cassidy home in my new Yellow Hummer. The entire ride she ranted about literally everything. I was completely frustrated by the time that I managed to drop her off. Before she got out she leaned over and kissed me. Reluctantly I went with it losing myself. Soon I found myself tangled up in her cheerleading outfit. She smelt really good but I had enough.
Letting go of her I gave her a quick peck and said "See you tomorrow."
Nodding she said "Of course you will Honey Bear. I mean where would you be without me." Before I could reply she got out and closed the door. Quickly driving off before she could come back I finally felt myself relax when her house was out of site. My relationship with Cassidy was complicated. I really didn't have a problem kissing her but whenever we weren't kissing I found her to be really annoying. It wasn't always like this but after a few months it just kind of happened. No longer wanting to think about Cassidy and ditching football I went straight to the mall food court, where I could order some awesome pancakes from a new restaurant that had opened the week before.
…
On my way to the food court I strolled by the stores looking into them. Most of them had clothes but there was one in particular that had music instruments hanging up on the walls. There were a couple of people sitting up front on their computers. They didn't look like they went to my school so I completely ignored them and proceeded forward. Looking over towards the cashier I noticed that there was no one there. Whoever worked for this store must be in the back getting something I thought to myself. Over in the left corner there was a black grand piano and an electric bass guitar. Intrigued I picked up the red bass guitar and played some cords.
From behind me I heard someone say "Hay you. Can't you read the sign don't play the instruments?" Without looking at the person I knew who it was and was suddenly glad that I came in here. Turning around I frowned and put the guitar down.
When I looked back at Ally she had her hands on her small hips and said "Do you mind. Get out please."
Shaking my head I stepped forward and said "I didn't know lame Ally worked here. Why should I leave aren't you supposed to be a good employ and treat me with respect as you always should you know, since I'm better than you."
Shaking her head she said "no, now get out. I don't really want to talk to a stupid football jock rite now."
Laughing I stepped forward and blurted out "wow Ally I didn't know you could talk back. How impressive." It sounded really sarcastic but I actually meant it.
Frowning further, which personally I didn't think was possible, she said "Austin Moon get out of my store now or so help me I'll tell people you were in here."
Now it was my turn to frown "rite and who would even believe you, or even listen to you."
Suddenly she stepped forward and poked me in the chest raising her eyebrow saying "really you want to test me. By the time I say something it'll be around school whether people admit to listening to me or not." Dripping with sarcasm I laughed and inched forward looking down into her brown eyes, her caramel brown hair draped over her shoulder.
Lost in her eyes I said "is that what you think Ally?" When Ally was about to say something I felt my legs shake, the floor was moving. Latching onto Ally I held her in my arms as the room started to tremor releasing instruments from their racks each one making a loud bang as it hit the floor. Wrapped in my arms we fell to the floor. We didn't have nearly enough time to get under a table because it was too far away. Scarcely remembering an earthquake safety drill I put my hand on top of her head the other arm wrapped securely around her pinning her to my torso. By the time the room had come to a halt most of the instruments had fallen to the floor the wall unable to hold them up. The cashier table was hardly visible under the rubble that lay on top of it due to the fact that some of the ceiling had fallen in. The stairs that lead up to god knows what, were blocked off by a bunch of broken instruments that appeared to be guitars. Danget that was a nice guitar, I was going to buy that. Finally I looked down at Ally taking my hand off the top of her head. Looking up at me with fear clearly written all over her face she didn't move away from me clinging onto my shirt.
For some reason I kissed the top of her head and whispered "It's ok Ally. I promise."
Still not moving, I rubbed her back a bit trying to calm her down. Of course I was scared out of my pants but there was no way I would let her know that.
Finally she moved and sat strait up blurting out "Oh my god my journal. Oh my god." Even at a time like this, I couldn't help but chuckle. Getting up she ran over to the pile of rubble that lay over the cashier desk and took one glance and began to search through it to find her book. Concerned that she could get hurt I took a step in her direction attempting to reach her when the floor shook again. The first thing that came to mind was Ally, causing me to yell out her name. But this one was smaller which caused her to fall onto her but.
Running over to her I squatted down and said "Ally are you ok? What hurts, does anything hurt?"
For a second she just sat there stunned but then she started laughing saying "I didn't know Austin had a heart. How surprising. Big bad Austin coming to save me."
Taking all that in I opened my mouth to say something but shut it again when she started crying. Taking her in my arms again I sat down placing her in my lap, her head against my shoulder. At first she didn't do anything but then she wrapped her arms around my torso. Reaching up to her hair I placed my hand on the top of her soft head and put my other arm around her waist. I must admit we sat there for some time but it felt pretty good, except for the fact that she was crying.
Kissing her forehead I said "Ally I won't let anything happen to you. You're safe with me. Trust me." That's when she held on tighter but just slightly. Eventually she stopped crying.
Looking down at her I asked her "better?"
Nodding she took her arms from around my waist to wipe her eyes and said "I really should clean up the store."
Laughing I said "There's the Ally I know. How bout I help you."
….
Ally's POV.
When I couldn't cry anymore I just sat there in Austin's arms listening to his arms. I couldn't believe that we had just survived an earthquake and here I was sitting in his laps. Blushing at the very idea I decided that it would be best if I got up. Not just because he was my enemy, but because he was also dating Cassidy. At that moment Austin looked down at me and asked me if I was better. Nodding my head I realized that my arms were still wrapped around his stomach.
Wiping my eyes I cleared my throat and said "I really should clean up the store."
Of course it sounded ridiculous when I said it but when I Austin laughed I was secretly glad I did. When he offered to help me I smiled to myself. Letting go of me Austin let me get up. Putting out my hand I helped him up. Looking around I knew that there were trash bags upstairs. Being me I walked over to the stairs Austin rite behind me. Flinching I climbed over the broken guitars and carefully tread my way upstairs. At the top Austin waited patiently behind me not saying a word as I took a key from my pocket unlocking the door. Opening it wide enough so we could both get inside I looked around. The window that looked out was shattered and there were music stands on the floor as well as a knocked over book shelf. It was really something and I knew that Austin must have been just as shocked because he stopped in his tracks and just stared.
Clearing my throat I made a decision and said "Austin we should probably start up here where there's less stuff."
"Yeah, you're probably rite. So maybe we should start my picking up the book shelf."
Nodding we stepped over lots of fallen decrease on the floor. Since the book shelf was somewhat big we put our hands on the top of it and lifted. I knew I was pretty weak so it was mostly Austin lifting it up. Inching my way down I pushed up on the book shelf to get it to stand up while Austin was a couple of inches above me. After about twenty minutes we got it to stand up. Bent over with his hands on his knees Austin panted as I grabbed onto my stomach a cramp taking over. Once we recovered I began to pick up books Austin picking up music stands standing them upright. By the time we had finished that we were pretty pleased because it looked ten times better. However there was still glass strewn around the room. Grabbing a dust pan and broom from the closet next to the door we swept it up. Finally we were done here. Pretty tired we sat down and I turned on the radio that my dad kept in the closet for emergencies.
Tuning in we heard a man come on and say "Ladies and Gents. Please stay calm everything is going to be ok. At all costs please stay in your homes because the roads are closed and there's a lot of debris outside."
Sighing I turned off the radio and looked over at Austin who looked at me. Clearing his throat he said "Um Ally. I think we're going to have to stay here for the night."
Blushing I said "Yeah I know here come help me get some blankets."
Striding over to me I handed Austin blankets and grabbed the only pillow from the closet. Blushing once again at the idea of sharing a pillow with Austin I shook my head and closed the door. Since it was already dark outside and we were both pretty pooped I helped Austin set out the blankets near the door where it was safest to be at the moment. I than threw the pillow down and went once again back to the closet.
Austin who was pretty interested in what I was doing asked "Ally what are you doing?"
Smiling I showed him a pair of baggy sweat pants and a purple tank top and said "Changing no peeking."
Turning to face the other side of the room I quickly got dressed. When I was done I said "Austin you can turn around now."
…..
Austin's POV.
When I turned around I couldn't help but look Ally up and down. She looked really hot in her new pjs. Unaware of the blush that tainted her face I smiled and said "this won't be so bad Ally." Laying down I rested my head on the only pillow. It actually wasn't too uncomfortable surprisingly. When Ally climbed under the covers I didn't hesitate to turn over, not wanting to scare her off. At that moment I made a vow to break up with Cassidy the next time we talked. Lying down next to me she was pretty stiff and had a corner of the pillow under her head. Rolling over I turned to her and said "Ally you know I don't bite rite?" Laughing she loosened up and rolled over looking at me and said under her breath "I know, I think." Scooting in closer to me she laid her head next to mine, her body heat radiating making me warmer. Closing my eyes we well asleep like that smiling. At some point during the night I scarcely remember waking up to her shivering so I pulled her in closer tucking her head under my chin. Mumbling a bit I thought she was waking up but then she stopped and fell back asleep. Happily I laid an arm over her waist and once again fell asleep but this time it was to the sound of her steady breathing. That night the only thing I dreamed of was the person rite next to me. So close and yet so far away.
