Hello hello hello! How are you guys? This is my first fanfiction and I hope you guys enjoy it.
Ally's P.O.V
I opened my eyes and groggily looked around my room. I picked my phone up off the night stand and realized it was time to get ready for school. I pushed back the covers and headed towards my closet to pick out what I was going to wear. "Ally dear, are you getting up?" I heard my mom yell up from downstairs. "Yea mom!" I replied as I decided on a pair of skinny jeans, a striped shirt, black sweater, and my converse. I curled my hair quickly and grabbed my backpack to head off to school. My house was just a little bit away from school so I walked in the mornings. I got to school and headed for my locker where my best friend Trish was already waiting for my arrival. I opened my locker and grabbed my books as we headed for class.
School was how it typically was, that is until my 5th period class… I walked in ready to sit at my normal seat as the teacher walked to the front of the room, "Class, we are going to be getting new seats as of today and there will be no complaining? Ok? Ok." Now I absolutely loved Language Arts and I was praying that these new seat wouldn't ruin that for me. Language Arts was another excuse for me to write, besides writing songs that wouldn't ever be heard by anybody.. She walked around the room pointing to seats and assigning them promptly. She got to the front row and said, "Austin Moon, Ally Dawson…" Wait.. What?! No no no no. She could NOT be sticking me next to AUSTIN MOON. I mean at least it's better than the obnoxious popular guys but, there is a VERY good chance he will try to cheat off me in class or something. I unwilling sat down at my desk as Austin trudged forward to his seat. This would be so much better if we had personal desks.. But no, we have to have the two people desks.. Ugh. I mean, he was okay. He was funny and I guess decently nice. "Okay class, today we will be learning…"
The bell rings about an hour later and I get to my locker to get my backpack. Trish comes up to me "So I see you got a seat next to Austin." I give her a small irritated look and I can tell she's confused. "C'mon! Some girls would be DYING to have your seat."
"Oh? I know. I mean it's ok I guess. I would rather be seated next to one of my friends or someone just kinda unnoticeable. Oh well.. I gotta go start my shift at Sonic Boom. Are you coming?" Trish tilts her head from side to side as if debating it but then shrugs and says "Sure. It's better than working, right?" I laugh and start to walk to the mall with Trish.
Austin's P.O.V
Dez and I walked into Language Arts and I see that our teacher is assigning new seats. I shrug not really caring where I sit. Then I hear my name "Austin Moon, Ally Dawson.." Ally Dawson? Hmm… I think she's one of those straight A students. She's nice.. Maybe this will be a good seat. I see Ally stride forward to the seat and sit down. I trudge forward to sit next to her. I smile to myself and realize she's kinda pretty… I hope she didn't see me smile to myself. I'm probably acting like an idiot. I then just go off thinking about filming with Dez after-school when the bell rings.
"Dez!" I go up to him at his locker. "How about for the video we got footage of me playing the drums?!" Dez stands there silently for a minute then says "With corndogs!" I laugh and agree as we walk off to the only music store close enough to walk to, Sonic Boom.
Ally's P.O.V
Trish and I walk through the mall until we finally reach my dad's store Sonic Boom. I pull the keys out from my bag and unlock the doors. Normally my dad would be working the store while I'm at school, but he said that they had a mall storeowner meeting today so he wouldn't be able to have it open most the day. Trish and I walk into Sonic Boom and I switch on the lights and go over to stand behind the counter. Trish immediately grabs a magazine from the rack and reads. I chuckle to myself and pull out my song book to start writing. Ding. Someone's already here, I see them walk over the violin display and reach for one. I hurry over to them before there is any possibility of damage. "Excuse me, only employees are allowed to get stuff down from displays. We don't want anything to get damaged." I say as politely as possible. I pull one down, and what happens? Of course, I shelf comes toppling down along with a few violins. I sigh and help the customer check out, then I fix the display. What a fantastic day…
It was a busy day, I had been helping customers and working non-stop. Luckily there hadn't been much chaos (besides the little violin incident). I finally have time to pull out my song book and write some new lyrics I thought of down, to be interrupted by drums.. Wait! Drums?! I look over to see Austin playing the drums… Oh great, Austin. I take no time to debate what I was going to do and rush over to the drums. "Excuse me!" I say, he doesn't hear me. "Uhm.. Uh excuse me!" I shout a little louder. I finally give up and resort to whistling in his ear. That got his attention. "Did you not see the 'Please Do Not Play The Drums' sign?" I say whilst pointing to the sign sitting nearby. He looks at his friend Dez, who had been video-taping him this entire time, then looks at the sign, and finally looks back at me. He hesitates for a moment then smiles, "It's okay, I'm an awesome drummer!" I literally could not tell if he was kidding or not. I decided to approach the situation with a neutral answer. "Well regardless, you can't play the drums, unless you are going to buy them and then play them at your own house or wherever you would plan to take them." He looks like he's about to make a smart remark, but he stops and gives me a confused look. "You look reeeeeaaaallly familiar… Do I know you?" I can't help at chuckle at his cluelessness. My laughter seems to make him even more confused so I stop and reply trying not to sound to obvious. "Uhm. Yea, we sit by each other in Language Arts, as of today." His eyes light up for some unknown weird reason and I just shrug it off and walk back behind the counter.
My dad soon scurries into the store as if he's in a hurry. "Sorry I'm late being back from the meeting, there were free samples in the food court!" My dad has always been a bit cheap, but it didn't really bother me at all. Of course, what did bother me was now my break had been cut about 10 minutes short. I didn't let him know how that bugged me though so I just shrugged as he took my place behind the counter. I grab my song book and start up the stairs, "Thanks Dad!" It was always nice of him to give me my breaks. I settle into the piano bench and open my book to a blank page as I begin to write down some lyrics.
Austin's P.O.V
I felt bad about how I didn't recognize Ally at Sonic Boom. She just seemed so much more in her element than she is a school. I hope she didn't notice how I got excited when she said we sat by each other in Language Arts because I had a glimmer of hope that we might be able to be friends. I was still sitting in the store looking at the cool guitars when I caught a glimpse of Ally walking into a room upstairs. I looked around to make sure no one was watching me and I snuck up the stairs. As soon as I got to the top I heard the most beautiful voice I had ever heard.
You don't know know know
My name name name
I'm gonna make make make 'em do a double take
I was gonna let her finish singing but I couldn't help from telling her how amazing it was. She was mid-line and I walking into the room as she turned her head slightly to widen her view of the piano keys and she shrieked and whipped around on the piano bench. "I'm sorry! I just wanted to say how amazing that song was!" I put my hands up as if I was being arrested. She scowled at me and turned back around to face the piano. "Anyways, it would be even better if you sped it up a bit." I proceeded to walk over and look at the lyrics then sang a sped up version of her song. "I like it!" She smiled at me, and I took that as an invitation to stay in the practice room for a little longer. I sat down on the piano bench next to her. She played more of the melody then wrote down her newly composed line into a brown leather book. As she set it back down onto the top of the piano I couldn't resist reaching for it to get more of an insight as to what else was in there. I was almost touching it when one of her hands reached up and snatched to book away from me as the other smacked me on the arm. "Don't touch my book!" I chuckled and gave her a questioning look. "What? It's my song book and diary rolled into one, you think I'd let you read it?" She asked me and I just shrugged and started copying the melody she played a minute ago. Just then an idea popped into my head, "Can I have this song?" I asked a little too excitedly. She whipped her head around to look at me and I figured she would say no. "What?" she asked drily and blinked at me a few times, waiting for me to answer. I coughed uncomfortably and asked again, this time a little less excited. She shrugged and surprised me, "Yea I guess. I have stage fright, so what use do I have for a song?" I titled my head back and forth and then decided on the safe answer of "I guess that's true." But I then added in a small little thank you. She gave me a weak smile and I felt really guilty. "I mean, you don't have to. Oh wait! I have an idea. We should be partners." I could hear my heart pounding in my ears. "May I say, again, what?" She said, confused yet again. "You know music partners. I can sing, dance, and I can't write songs. You have stage fright, and you write amazing songs. I'll give you credit for your songs, but of course I'll sing them." I could tell she was debating it in her head so I patiently waited for her decision. She then stood up and pace around the room for a minute until she stopped and turned to me. "Today is your lucky day Austin." She smiled.
"Does that mean yes?!" I asked excitedly
"Yes it does."
"Woo!"
She reached out her hand then I opened my arms for a hug. We each quickly realized what the other was trying to do and switched. Finally we both opened our arms for a hug. She wrapped her arms around my waist and my arms wrapped gently around her shoulders. We stayed like that for a minute until I heard an awkward "Uhmmm..?" from behind me. We both pulled away from our hug and turned to see Trish and Dez smirking behind us. "Well you guys seemed to get really close after only two hours of hanging out." Trish said with a small smirk. Ally blushed a little as she seemed to be thinking how to respond to the unexpected remark. "We're music partners now. I'll write songs, of course Austin will help write them, and he'll sing them. Dez I'm sure you can make the videos, and Trish.. Uh." I could tell Ally couldn't figure out what Trish would want to do. In fact, I heard that Trish never keeps a job for a very long time. I quickly jumped in with the first job that came to mind "You can be manager! You can book me gigs, manage shows, you know just general things." Trish smiled and agreed to be manager. Ally nodded and said "Team Austin!" We all liked the name and decided to go get pizza at Mini's.
What'd you guys think? Don't forget to review! I'll try and update frequently but that might be a bit hard with school. I normally write pretty long chapters so I guess that will make up for not updating quick. Feel free to PM me, or you can follow me on Tumblr. My tumblr is andillfinditinasong. Thanks for reading!
