Chapter 1: My reflection

Thanks for reading:)

*Ally's POV*

My alarm seemed to ring louder this morning, and just like every school morning I grabbed my phone to turn it off. I got out of bed and sat on the floor, observing my empty, lonely room. Today was a different morning because, I was in Miami, by myself. No annoying little brother, no older brother screaming and yelling at me, no dad telling me that my gift is special and he can't pay for it, no waking up to breakfast, just...me. At the age of 13 my life began to be uncontrollable, my father and mother separated and everyone, I mean everyone, blamed it on me. Even my own father! Everything seemed to be spiraling out of control, so ever since I have been planning to runaway from home and come to Miami for High-school. And her I am, getting ready for my first day of 10th grade, even though it's already November.

After me steamy, hot shower I put on my pair of light blue skinnies, my flowy tank top and some black flats. Usually I would go for some wedges because of my short height but, today I wanted to be different. I decided to skip breakfast and head on to school, locking my small, white, apartment door. I was on the 8th floor and decided to go for the stairs, the elevator would take a while and I had on comfortable shoes anyways. Miami seemed like a place were dreams could come true, I bet tons of stars and celebrities live here! I wouldn't be surprised if I saw George Clooney walking along! Man, that would be a check of my bucket list.

Austin's POV

Math class is probably the most boring subject EVER! Then there's history, or maybe history is worse than math, better yet there tying for 1st place, that's way more accurate. I wonder what I should eat for lunch...maybe some chicken nuggets NO a bean burrito! Yeah that's way better than chicken nuggets! Man, now i'm hungry and there a like 3 periods 'till lunch! Mmmmmmm I could really go for some pancakes...ahhhhh...pancakes, cakes from a pan! Warm, fluffy, drowning in a cool, sweet, maple syrup. Sounds good...I wonder what Dez is up to, he's probably bugging Trish about something totally awesome. It's so unfair how they have all the same periods! And i'm left alone with no best friends in boring classes. This SUCKS! Like a plunger! Hahahahahahahahaha...man i'm hilarious, good looking, and awesome!

I wonder what it would be like to be famous, I bet I could be famous! I can dance, play almost every instrument, sing, I just can't write songs...oh well looks like my dreams will be crushed and never accomplished. Nah, I'll just find someone who can write songs and tell them to work with me, yeah! That's a great idea! I can already hear my fans screaming my name. Austin! Austin! Austin!

Ally's POV

''AUSTIN!'' Trish screamed and bumped the Blondie on the head. She seemed frustrated and really, really pissed off. Austin, i'm guessing that's his name, jumped out of his seat and screamed ''What the hell Trish?!''. Everyone in the cafeteria turned to look at the two angry teenagers but, they just shrugged them off and continued to enjoy their lunches. Maybe the fought often.

''What do you mean what the hell?! I've been screaming at you for the past 5 minutes!'' Trish responded

''Why'd you bump me on the head so hard?!''

''Oh just suck it up and sit down, we have a guest.''

The brown eyed boy hesitated but he then quickly sat down. He began to talk to the perky redhead beside '' Hey Dez! What's up?'' ''I got you a gift!'' Dez said as he handed him what looked like a bean burrito although it was pretty hard to tell due to the object being wrapped in tin foil. ''Man! You're the best!'' Austin squealed with glee like a kid in a candy store.

''Ummmm...you must be Austin, i'm Ally it's really nice to meet you. I hope we become great friends!''

''Nice to meet you to...yea i'm Austin hehehehehehe...Gotta run, bye!''

Austin quickly ran out of the cafeteria, never letting go of his burrito.

Austin POV

I took a bite of my burrito and the warm, moist texture felt good against my dry mouth. I couldn't get the image of Ally's beautiful smile, man that girl is perfect! But I most of come off as a real jerk! I screamed at Trish for crying out loud! Well we always scream at each other so it's no biggie, but still what if she hates me for thinking that i'm mean to everyone! ''UGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!'' I kicked the bathroom stall door with all my might.

'' Austin, don't eat so many burritos if you can't unload.'' I heard a voice to familiar to be a stranger's.

''Dallas! Ummmmm how long have you been standing there?'' I got kinda nervous, what if he saw me freak out?

''You don't need to know...so what's the problem man? Got in a fight with Dez or something?

''No...I messed up in front of a REALLY cute girl. I'm such a moron!''

''Nah bra, maybe just an idiot but not a moron! Hahahahahahhaa just kidding, just kidding. Well just apologize the next time you see her and try and be nicer, maybe become her friend and then win her over.''

''Like you did with Cassidy?''

''Exactly!''

''Thanks bro! See yo-''

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIING!

The bell interrupted me and I dashed out of the Boy's bathroom, it was time for 5th period and it was on the other side of the building.

Ally's POV

This school sure is big, my old school is probably barely a third of this building! And there's two buildings! Now I just gotta find the counselor, I already got to the office it's just that I forgot how to get there from the cafeteria and didn't ask anyone how to get there.

''Look out!''

In a blink of an eye I was on the floor with my things scattered everywhere, so was Austin. ''I'm so sorry! IT's just i'm late for 5th period and-'' Austin seemed to stop talking.

''It's fine, i'm the one who should be saying sorry you'l be late because of me! Hahahahahahahha clumsy old me!''

''Oh, Ally sorry about running out on lunch, it's just...I...had to pee really bad!''

''Don't sweat it! It's totally fine but, can I ask for a favor?''

''Sure!''

Austin helped me up and gathered my things, this guy is really nice I hope we get along just fine. Standing next to him made me feel even shorter! I didn't even reach his shoulders! Well I did decide to wear flats today, what a dumb idea.

''So, what do you need?''

''Oh, umm can you show me where the counselor's office is? I need to get there and quick!''

''Well yeah come on!''

He grabbed my wrist and he began to run, the contact of our skin made me get goosebumps, his hand felt strong and warm against my fragile wrist. I honestly look like a doll next to his big structure, I really need to grow a few inches...well at least i'm taller than Trish.
After a lot of running we finally made it, we stopped a couple times...well I fell a couple of times and it was already last period so Austin decided to stay with me. The counselor just told me that I have a free tardy passin each class for the first 2 weeks while I learn how to get to my classes and things like that. By the time he was done talking, the bell rang and tons of students ran out of their classrooms and towards the big glass doors of the school.

''Well I guess we could walk home together...if it's ok with you.'' Austin gave me my backpack and we slowly begna to walk to the exit...or entrance...or whatever those doors were.

''Ummmm are you going down or up?'' I asked him

''Up, you?''

''Me too! Are you sure we didn't see each other earlier today?'' I laughed and teasingly poked at his arm.

''Hahahahahaha, i'm sure we didn't I would've a beautiful face like yours.''

I felt my face beginning to get hot and I was sure I was blushing, Austin just awkwardly looked down at his feet and we stayed like this for awhile. I can't believe he just said that I was beautiful...maybe he's just a playa' or he's nice like that...I doubt i'm that pretty.

Well thank you for reading! It's kind of a cliffhanger and short but...I promise i'll make them longer once the story begins to progress! 3 reviews? I take constructive criticism! (not to harsh please!)
