Opposites Come Together As One

Chapter 2:

The Next Morning... There was only about three more hours before Ally would have to wake up for school.. Apparently, ever since she saw Austin, IN MOST OF HER CLASSES, she couldn't seem to get over those flashbacks from middle school.. She could have rested for three hours.. BUT NO, the poor girl couldn't even have her sleep.. Therefore, meaning, she only had about five or six hours to sleep, and the rest was wasted over troublesome flashbacks..

First day of school, in seventh grade was pressure for Ally.. She only found one friend to sit with at lunch, and that happened to be Trish.. Trish dragged Ally towards the lunch line, so she could buy lunch.. After a few minutes, Trish, for some unknown reason, told Ally she would be right back.. Ally stood in line, keeping her head to the floor, avoiding students all around her.. Slowly, and steadily, she put her fingertips against her glasses, pushing it towards her eyes.. Her hands held each other, as she waited for Trish to come back..

"HEY NERD! YOU, with the glasses!" A voice was heard from her left. It sounded like a very young boy.. Ally turned her head over to see a table full of boys.. Were they talking to me? Ally thought to herself.

"M-Me?" Ally managed to utter out a word, while she blinked her eyes rapidly.

"Yeah, BABE, I'm talking to you.." A blonde boy smiled at her, raising an eyebrow.

"Huh?" Confusion took over Ally's face.

"I like you, a lot.." The boy smirked slightly, as he eyed one of his friends. His friends snickered, whispering to him as well, somewhat laughing..

Does he really like me? He is really cute, but, something doesn't see right.. Either way, Ally did blush, a light shade of red was shown on her cheeks..

"Wanna go out?" He asked, with a chuckle. The boys at the table, were now quiet, a little too quiet.. Each, and every one of them, held a somewhat silly look on there face, which Ally could see, something wasn't going right..

"No, sorry.." She whispered, as she played with her fingers.

His friends began to laugh, all of them, pointing their fingers towards the blonde boy's face..

"Dude, she rejected you!" One of them called out.

"OHHHHHHHH!" They all howled at once.

"Man, she's the first to actually not fall for it.." The blonde boy slumped back in his chair, disappointed.

They all nodded, agreeing..

"Either way, she's as ugly as hell!" The boy started laughing hysterically, having his friends laugh as well.

Ally hung her head again, feeling distress being taken upon her.. She still stood in the same spot, realizing she lost Trish's spot..

Later, Ally found out from Trish, the boy's name was Austin Moon.. He was well known for playing his tricks on some of the girls.. He would ask them out as she joke, go out with them for one day, then 'break up' with them by the next..

A Second Flashback:

Ally slowly walked down the dark, terrifying halls filled with students.. Those students who didn't give a care for her.. She didn't have anyone in that school, no one but Trish.. However, Trish wasn't in many of her classes that year of middle school.. Throughout those years of seventh and eighth grade, she shared classes with Austin.. Anyway, Ally was heading her way to lunch, of course, avoiding eye contact with other immature students.. She arrived in lunch, finding her usual seat, where Trish would sit with her..

"YO ALLY!" A familiar voice was sounded through her ears.

Ally whipped her head around, to see Austin from the corner of her eye.. Her face was now filled with fear, seeing that boy.. He was never nice to her, he always made such jokes about her.. So why is he calling her? Either way, she answered him, wanting to be kind..

"Y-Yes?" Ally stuttered, as her eyes landed into his.

"Can you come over here? I need some help.." Austin's face was filled with sincerity, a actual normal smile formed on his face. None of his friends weren't even around at the moment, which may have meant something..

Is Austin okay? He doesn't seem like he's being himself.. Maybe he had changed or something.. Maybe today is a new day for him, Mom always told me that.. People change in a good change, and become different by the next day..

"Sure Austin, of course I don't mind.." Ally answered in a sweet voice, sharing a gentle grin as well.

She slowly walked over to him, only sightly afraid, but the feeling wasn't strong.. As she arrived to him, he still stood there, eyeing her..

"U-Umm.. what did you need?" Ally's tone of voice changed, she, of course, happened to whisper to him.

"I just wanted to give you something.." His voice was now sly, which was discomforting to Ally.

"What is-"

Sudden red, liquid was flown to her face, along with pasta as well.. She was now covered with the school's lunch.. Red sauce was dripping down from her forehead, as to the macaroni was all in her hair.. Some of the food even came to her clothes.. Shock was the first thought to Ally's mind, then sadness came to a second.. Austin's face was now noticed to Ally's view.. His face was now filled with a funny grin, he started to laugh.. Others, as well, started to laugh.. The whole cafeteria was filled with laughter.. Tears started to stream down Ally's face, her hands came to her hair, as she tugged onto it..

"That's a nice look for you Ally.." Austin said, along with letting out a few chuckles.

Ally didn't say a word.. Instead, she turned away, running out of the cafeteria, finding her way to the bathroom.. She cried, and cried as she went into the stall, slamming it closed, sinking down to the floor.. She couldn't that boy, Austin, thinking he has been a different person.. Apparently, she was wrong about him, he would never change..

I can't believe I actually fell for that.. How could I be so stupid?! I should have known Austin was going to do that to me..

End of All Flashbacks...

Ally gasped as she was awoken by her alarm clock.. She arose from bed, with an horrifying expression upon her face, her hands token a hold on her hair, stuffing it in her mouth..

NO NO NO NO NOOOO! What is he doing in my dreams?! Worst of all, why was I thinking of middle school! He ruin everything in middle school, and now high school, and NOW MY DREAMS! I just can't sleep like this!

The poor girl sighed in frustration, despising this situation.. She only wished he wasn't in any of her classes, then she wouldn't be suffering from this nightmare..

Ally threw off the blankets aside, knowing if she didn't hurry she would be quite late for school.. Of course, she didn't want that, since she had a perfect attendance to coming to school.. Ally looked through her closet, trying to choose through her choices of clothing..

She found a black vest, pairing with a cute yellow shirt, along with a nice looking belt, which came along with a black floral skirt, showing such bright colored flowers.. She quickly wore her clothing, as well, as throwing on her leather brown boots.. She looked at herself in the mirror, satisfied with her outfit.. She curled her hair as well, smearing lip gloss on her lips, streaking her cheeks with red blush..

She grabbed a snack bar, kissing her father goodbye, promising him she would be at Sonic Boom after school.. The bus came in after a minute of her waiting patiently.. She acknowledged the bus driver with a shy hello, her head was low to the aisle, but still was able to choice a seat to sit in..

Meanwhile, students came in on the bus, filling up the seats.. Trish, as well, came in, sitting beside Ally..

"Hey.." She greeted with a smile, while placing her bag towards her seat.

"Hi.." Ally smiled as well, fingering the strap of her bag.

The two stayed quiet, waiting for their arrival to school.. Soon, after a few minutes, a certain blonde popped onto the bus, sitting with himself with the group of so called 'popular kids'..

"Hey man!" One of his friends shouted over the bus.

"YOO MAN! WHAT UP!" He walked his way through the aisle, jumping into a seat.

"Seriously, this idiot so full of himself!" Trish rolled her eyes, feeling repulsive from his presence.

"SHHHH!" Ally whispered loudly, fearing he would hear Trish.

"Don't shush me! He—"

"Trish, I just don't want him to hear us!" Ally interrupted with her soft tone of voice.

"FINE! But if he does something to you, he's dead!" She threatened, crossing her arms together.

The bus ride lasted for another ten minutes.. Eventually, everyone arrived to school, stepping off the bus, orderly.. This time, Trish made sure Austin didn't do such rude things to Ally, like pushing her over, like last time..

"Come on, Ally.." Trish whined, clearly impatient of having to wait for her friend.

"Sorry.." Ally grabbed her gatherings, struggling with adjusting her bag over her shoulder.

Ally and Trish were the last two off the bus.. Trish waved goodbye to her, leaving towards her homeroom.. Ally, as well, went to homeroom, almost late.. Though, she made it the second before the bell could ring.. Homeroom lasted for ten minutes.. The teacher took attendance, having the students recite their names if she couldn't pronounce them.. Soon after, the bell rang, having the teacher dismiss their students to first period..

Slowly, Ally stood up from her seat, clutching her books towards her chest, as she headed to first period.. She, ostensibly, appeared into the classroom with a fearing look on her face, knowing she would have to face Austin, again..

Second day of school, not so great, if I have to see Austin today.. What am I going to do?!

Another few minutes passed by, as students walked into the classroom, taking their seats.. Ally, on the other hand, was ready to start off her day with taking notes.. Her teacher, Ms. Lester, came in greeting her students with a hello.. The bell rang, having a five to seven minute late Austin with an silly, unexcused arrival to the classroom..

"Care to explain why you're late for the SECOND TIME?" Ms. Lester gritted her teeth, angered by his lingering presence.

"Nah... Don't give a damn anyway.." Austin gave his teacher a dull expression, his stance even showed that he didn't give a care either.

"Pardon your language, please! No disrespecting words in this class! Just sit down!" Ms. Lester yelled, her eyes becoming small, with a tint of darkness shown.

"Whatever lady.. Rules don't mean anythin', just cause' you made them up, doesn't mean I have to follow them.." Austin smirked, his hand resting on a student's desk.

"SIT DOWN NOW! Rules are RULES, and they shall be followed! YOU better listen to me young man, I mean it! Sit down, or you'll be sent down to the Principal's office for your inappropriate attitude!" Ms. Lester screamed, clearly, having enough of this ridiculous conversation.

"Like I give a shit.." Austin mumbled, lucky enough for the teacher to not hear.

He walked towards the back, eyeing Ally, again.. Ally, on the other hand, eyed what seemed her entertainment, her bracelet.. Her mother's bracelet, she was examining each pearl.. This bracelet was the last left of her.. Ally tried not to think of her mother again.. She, instead, decided to take out her school supplies..

I can't believe Austin's attitude! He's being very rude! That's no way to speak to a teacher! And now he's sitting with me! How could she do this to me? Doesn't she know Austin would hate someone like me?

"Hey loser.." He slumped into his seat, blowing a bubble through his gum.

"Hi Austin.." Ally replied, without thinking, she shrugged it off, deciding she was just trying to be nice.

Seriously?! Why in the name of pickles did I say HI back to him?! Okay, okay, well, I just want to be nice, so I guess it's fine..

"SO, how-"

"SHH! The teacher is about to talk!" Ally interrupted him, before he could say such rude words to her.

"Really? You're that scared of me, ha-"

"Good Morning class!" Ms. Lester spoke out, meaning it was time for students to quiet down.

"Good Morning.." Everyone responded, their voices certainly weren't filled with enthusiasm.

"Since it's been a week of school, I decided that we would do a mini project in class today." Ms. Lester was about to continue, that's when, she heart students groaning.

"Oh quit your whining! This is probably the easiest project we're doing this year! Now, I must explain what we're doing, I will give you the directions.."

Ms. Lester gave out the directions on how to complete the project.. She as well, told them the concept of the project.. Telling them what was being done correct, and what to avoid throughout the project..

"Of course, everyone, you will be working with the person next to you.." Ms. Lester lastly spoke out, as she settled down to her desk for comfort.

There was some people who cheered for themselves.. Others, however, groaned, knowing they couldn't work together, but was forced to anyway.. When it came to Austin and Ally, Ally was the one who wasn't quite happy with it.. As to Austin, he was thought it was okay, since Ally was very smart, she could do all the work..

"Hey partner.." Austin smiled at her, placing a hand on her lower back.

Ally, at first, didn't notice this for a moment, since she was panicking about working with Austin.. Soon then, just when she felt a hand on her, she flinched, hearing his voice, as well to feeling him so close to her..

"A-AUSTIN?!" She squealed, her eyes widen.

"Hey... We're working together.. Which means something.. You got this whole thing down, right?" Austin's voice seemed too low, as he spoke to her.

"What?!" She asked in confusion, her eyebrows knitted together.

"Wow.. She's so slow.. YOU, do, the, WORK, GOT... IT?" Austin prompted himself to the desk, sending a laughable grin to his friends.

"Austin! You can't make me do all the work.. Isn't that the point of working together?"

"Oh I'm sorry.. Sure, why not? I'll help you.." Austin didn't look so assured of what he was saying. Instead, he looked like he was going to do the complete opposite..

"Really? Austin, please-"

"Here's your small, poster board! You two can get started, remember this whole project is due by the end of the period!" Ms. Lester grinned at the two students, off she went, turning on her heel, as she walked towards the desk.

"Yeah Ally, good luck on working on it yourself.." Austin sneered, as he laughed all over again.

"Fine Austin.. You know what, I'm going to work on it then.. But if the teacher yells at you, don't blame me.. I tried to encourage you, but you wouldn't listen.." Ally's tone wasn't sounding rude, she sounded more gentle. Since, as you know, Ally was the kind of girl who shared kindness towards people..

"Yeah, yeah.." Austin, again, rolled his eyes, as he fished out a his cell phone from his pocket.

Ally stared at him in disbelief.. She just couldn't understand him.. Why was he always being so rude? The way his attitude was, made her wonder.. How was his family treating him? Could it have been he was raised correctly? Ally wanted resolute with putting her hardest to her work.. Instead of, thinking of Austin.. Since, clearly, the blonde boy wasn't going to be any help to her..

Overall, as time has passed in period one.. Ally dealt with hearing shrieking laughter from the right of her.. It was quite irritating, the way he pointed at her.. Or even poked her by her side.. As well to, calling her such rude, inconsiderate words.. A few times, she would have whispered to him, to stop.. However, he wouldn't even listen..

"Austin! Look, please don't bother me! I'm trying to finish OUR project.. But you aren't helping! Mind your business, will you? I don't want you asking if I had a boyfriend or not.. I don't want to hear your sexual jokes! You are very lucky I'm not telling the teacher that you're not helping.. Just please stop.."

"Ally, Ally, Ally.. Come on, I just wanted to know if you like anyone or not.. Cause' I thought you were staring at me, you know.." Austin raised an eyebrow, sending an flirtatious smile.

Ally felt heat filling her body.. A shade of red forming to her cheeks.. Wait a minute! Why am I even blushing?! Austin doesn't love me! He's a flirt to all girls, even me! But that doesn't mean he likes me! Stupid me, don't focus on Austin! Focus on your project, you're almost done!

Ally avoided looking at him, fearing if she did, he would notice her flushed face.. She completed her last finishing touches to the poster.. She smiled satisfied with her work, deciding to hand in her work.. She stood up from her seat, about to walk towards the teacher, when she felt a grip on her shoulder..

"Babe, you know you want me.." Austin's arm wrapped around her shoulder, pulling her in close to him.

Ally didn't move, she didn't know why didn't, she felt safe.. Feeling comfortable near his arm.. Though, before she can get out of his trance, the teacher already was on her way towards the two of them...

"Austin, Ally, sorry to interrupt your 'affair'.. But-"

"There's no affair!" Ally stepped far from him, having her body released from his arm.

"I see.. Well, are you two done with the project?" Ms. Lester asked, motioning Ally to hand over the small sized poster.

Well, yes, I FINISHED it.. Since somebody didn't want to help.. He was too busy making fun of me and texting everyone..

"Well?" Ms. Lester's voice came to Ally's thoughts.

"U-Umm.. Yes, we are done.." Ally smiled slightly, as Ms. Lester stared down at her poster.

"Good job.. You two can rest, there's only ten minutes left until class is over.."

The two students nodded, taking their seats.. Ally, again, avoided eye contact, like she usually would.. She would have pulled out her songbook, to finish her song.. Since, HE was there, she couldn't..

Suddenly, the door opened to Ms. Lester's classroom.. Everyone, of course, looked up to see who it was..

"Hi Ms. Lester, Mr. Miller told me to give this to you.." A voice, which sounded so familiar sounded across the room.

Dallas?! Dallas?! DALLAS! He's in the same room as me! Oh my gosh! He looks so cute! The way his brown eyes sparkle, and his hair, his everything!

"Thank you Dallas.." Ms. Lester smiled at him, as he was about to leave the room.

"No problem ma'm.." Dallas grinned as well, as he turned away to walk out of the classroom.

Oh my gosh! Was he looking at me?! No, no.. Why would he?! I mean Dallas is so nice! He usually was nice to me, but he probably thinks I'm weird.. Since I can never speak whenever he's around..

There was a sudden, painful poke to her side of her stomach.. She clenched it, her fingers digging into her shirt..

"Ouch!" She looked up, seeing Austin smirking at her.

"So.. You like Dallas?" He asked, his friends as well, were eyeing her.

"Whaaaaaaaat?! Me liking Dallas?! No... Where did you get that idea?" She squealed, as she felt her hands coming to her hair.

No, stop it Ally! Leave your hair alone! Austin CAN'T know!

"Yeah right.. This is what you looked like.." Austin imitated the way, she placed her hands against her chin, looking like he was dreamily staring ahead.

"No! I do not! This isn't any of your business anyw-"

"Ohhhhhh! Man, she does like him!" Austin's friend, slapped his hand a high five.

"That's what her damn diary is about!" He chuckled, as he looked over to Ally.

Ally placed her hands to her lap, trying her hardest not to shove her hair to her mouth.. Austin knew when she was scared, since she has done this before in middle school..

After ten minutes passed, the bell rang.. Ms. Lester dismissed the students, reminding them to study for their test..

Ally sighed, knowing this rumor would spread around school.. Of course, she knew Dallas was going to find out.. Then, of course, he would be disgusted, at least that's what she thought.. Either way, Ally went on with her school day, dealing with Austin along the way..

Seven hours with seeing Austin in her classes was quite burdensome for her.. He called out names at her.. He even spoke to Dallas in one of their classes.. Ally only shares two classes with Dallas.. Of course, one of them had to have Austin in it.. Sheets of homework, study guides piled up for her.. Meaning she had to finish her school work at Sonic Boom, as well to writing her music, and dealing with customers as well..

School finally came to an end.. The bell rang.. Ally ran out of the classroom, rushing to her locker.. She twisting her locker combination to the right twice, and once to the left.. The locker opened instantly, she grabbed for her bag, then slammed her locker closed.. She ran out of her school, needing to make it to Sonic Boom.. The mall wasn't so far from her school, so she knew she would make it.. It was only a few minutes away.. She arrived to Sonic Boom, having her father waiting impatiently at the door..

"Hi Daddy.." She grinned at him nervously, as she set her bag aside.

"Pumpkin, you're late.. You were suppose to come here five minutes ago.." He said, pointing to his watch, making sure he was checking his time correctly.

"Sorry.." She apologized, as she ran to the front desk, checking on the cash register.

Mr. Dawson still kept eyeing his watch, still unsure if his watch was correct..

"I'm ready to work!" She smiled at her father, flaring out her arms.

"That's my girl! Okay honey, I'm going to go to the watch store, so they could see if my watch is broken.."

"Okay Dad, have fun.." She rolled her eyes playfully, as she watched her father leave the store.

A few customers came in, wanting to buy an instrument.. Others came in asking her a few questions about the store, then either ended up leaving, or ended up buying something small, like the trumpet stickers with smiley faces..

"Thank you for shopping at Sonic Boom, here's your change.." She handed her the last few quarters to the customer.

The customer nodded, then left the store.. Ally waited for another few minutes.. No one happened to be coming in.. So, she decided to multitask with working on homework, and writing new songs..

"HEY! Guess who got a job at the bakery store?" Trish jumped into Sonic Boom, flashing her cupcake suit.

"Heyy! Let me guess, you?!" Ally smiled at her presence, as she stared at her costume.

"Yup! So.. Writing a new song?" Trish asked, as she walked over to her.

"Yeah.. Still need some time on it.. I'm also doing homework.." She said, shaking her head in disappointment.

"Dang! You have a lot to do.." She said, quite surprised, as she peered over at the sheets of homework.

"I know.." She sighed, running her hand to her hair.

Sudden barking was heard from the front door.. Shock took over Ally and Trish, as they turned themselves around to see a dog at the doorway..

"Uhhh.. Why is there a dog in this store?" Ally tilted her head, suspicious over to whose the dog's owner.

"I don't know.." Trish was the same as Ally, she as well, eyed the dog.

"MACARONI! I told you to wait!" A red headed boy appeared from out of no where.

"Dez?!" Trish was quite bewildered, seeing him and his dog.

"You guys know each other?" Ally looked at Trish, and the unfamiliar red headed boy.

"Yeah, he's the idiot in my math class.." Trish glared at Dez, her eyes becoming small.

"Yeah.. I'm the pee brain! And this is Macaroni, my dog.." Dez pointed to his dog, who was chasing his tail.

"You named your dog after pasta?"Ally looked at the boy, with a strange face.

"YUP! By the way, did you see any gingerbread or meatballs around?" Dez bent down to the floor, sniffing the ground.

"Uhhh.. no.." She answered, staring at the boy, who was laying on the ground.

"See, told you he's an idiot.." Trish rolled her eyes at the boy in annoyance.

"Dez! I told you, we already have the meatballs and gingerbread!" A new voice was sounded at the door, though, this time, it sounded familiar.

"Hey Austin! And you did?! Good, because Macaroni and I were having a hard time finding them! Right boy?" Dez looked at his dog, his face was dull.

Austin?! Oh no! Dez is Austin's friend! And he came here! This is NOT GOOD! I better hide! Before he sees me!

"Trish! Austin's here!" She whispered loudly, ducking down her table.

"Seriously, you're going to hide from him?!"

"YES! He can't see me!" Ally whispered, as she grabbed her hair, pushing them to her mouth.

"Hey Dez, this looks like a pretty cool store.. Can we check it out?" Austin asked his friend, as he gazed over the instruments.

"Sure buddy.." He replied, he stood up, shaking off the dust from his body.

What?! Oh no, NO! If he sees me here, he might try to terrorize the store! And Dad wouldn't like that!

"Hey man, check this out!" Austin pointed to whatever he was seeing, that seemed amusing.

I'm in trouble..
