A new beginning - Chapter 3

Disclaimer: I do not own Austin and Ally or anything that you may recognise.


I woke up the next morning to see Trish dancing about in her leopard print pj's to a song from what I assume is the school radio station while making herself some breakfast. I laugh quietly as i watch her and grab my phone bringing up my Pic-chat (If this does exist i don't own it) and record her as she sings along to it obnoxiously i cover my mouth to muffle my laughter. Once it finishes recording i post it to my story and send it to Carrie and Cassidy with the caption *what i woke up to :'D*. I quickly put my phone down and walk up behind Trish quietly, she still hasn't noticed me which gave me a perfect opportunity to scare her.

"Aghhhh!" I scream loudly

"AGHHHH!" Trish screams and jumps forward dropping her fork and grabs onto the counter while putting her hand on her heart which i'm pretty sure is racing right now. I laugh so hard i slowly fall down onto the ground, holding my stomach as tears run down my face.

"ALLY!," Trish exclaims trying to calm herself down.

"yo-y-you should h-have seen your f-face," I say in between laughter as i lay on my side burying my face in my arms, i slowly sit up properly again as i wipe the tears from my eyes and look at Trish as she shakes her head in amusement putting her hand out to help me off the floor.

"I'm sorry Trish it was just too good of an opportunity," I apologise to her as she laughs plating up the food she made and grabs 2 glasses pouring out some OJ.

"It's okay but i will get you back for this," she says mischievously, my eyes widen not really thinking about my actions and forgetting that Trish is really good at revenge. 'Oh shit she's is gonna get me back so good'.

"Oh great," I mutter in fear and shake my head disapointed with myself.

Trish laughs and looks at me sympathetically.

"i'm the wrong girl to mess with chica, you should have thought about that before you nearly killed me," Trish says as she places two plates onto the table along with the OJ and sits down gesturing to seat across from her.

I smile as i sit down and look at my plate finding some pancakes and grab the syrup from the middle of the table, pouring some over them.

"Thank you," i cut into my pancake and taste a piece looking at Trish surprised.

"Mmm this is so good but how were you able to make these? We haven't gone shopping yet" I ask Trish as i continue to dig into my pancakes.

she takes a sip of her orange juice before answering me.

"Well before i left my mom packed a ton of food for me so that's how i was able to make this but we'll still have to go shopping to get some more" Trish says as she eats the last piece of her pancake and washes her plate.

I finish up my pancakes and put my plate in the sink cleaning it while Trish grabs the remote and switches on the TV. I grab a white pair of skinny jeans, a blue peplum top and my slippers along with my cleaning essentials and head into the bathroom to clean myself up. I brush my teeth and wash my face adding moisturiser to my skin to make it soft and add some mascara, blush and a little lip gloss. I never usually go all out on make-up unless i'm going out to a party otherwise its kept very natural. I slip my clothes on and head out sitting my dirty clothes in the laundry basket and plug in my curler waiting for it to heat up while Trish slips into the bathroom.

I curl my hair into soft waves letting them rest on my shoulders and grab my phone scrolling through my social media but nothing interesting caught my eye. So i grab my journal from under my pillow, this little book has my life written in it since my sophomore year of high school along with songs that i've written. This book is sacred to me, no one and i mean no one is allowed to touch it. I grab a pen from my bag and flip to an empty page and begin to write.

Dear diary

So yesterday was my first day CMAU and it was amazing it went so much better than i expected and i'm so happy about it. I was so nervous i had all these bad thoughts running around my head that my roommate was going to be a total bitch and that no one would like me but i couldn't have been more wrong. My roommate is amazing and i can definitley see her being my new best friend not that she's replacing any of my older friends but you know what i mean. I also met two other girls called Cassidy and Carrie they are roomates as well and live across the hall from Trish and I. We all went out to dinner yesterday to get to know each other and i can honestly say we really bonded Cassidy ended up having the hots for our waitor Dallas luckily he had the hots for her as well it was obvious i mean they had eye sex in front of usa bunch of times, then they went away and spoke a little more private he asked her if she wanted to go to a party he's throwing tonight and he said we could as well. My first college party i'm kinda excited but nervous at the same time because i have no clue what to expect but i've decided i'm just gonna expect the unexpected it's a college party after all lol Oh! i almost forget there was these guys standing not too far away from my dorm when i first arrived and omg! this blonde guy was there and he was so HOT! i mean he was the most gorgeous guy i'd ever seen and i just couldn't take my eyes off of him then i saw him again at the restaurant i think he is friends with Dallas anyway i was taking a drink and he was staring at me and i chocked on it he looked at me with concern so i gave him a smile to reasure him i guess i'm not sure why i did anyway he returned it and he was on my mind for the rest of the night even when i was sleeping and i don't even know him it's so weird. Anyway i just realised how long this is so i need to stop. bye

I close my book and put it away just as Trish steps out of the bathroom dressed for the day ahead and takes a seat at the bottom of my bed.

"So what are you're plans for today?," Trish asks

"Well i think i'm gonna take a walk today get a look around the campus, what about you?,"

"Look over my designs fix anything that needs to be fixed or add anything that needs to be added then probably take a nap," Trish laughs.

I laugh along with her, she is one of a kind.

Trish is lazy admittedly and loves to sleep but when it comes to her designs she is crazy talented, determined and always on the look out for inspiration and new ideas much like me with my song writing. It's very admirable and is the one thing you should never underestimate her about. Her designs and anything related comes first even before sleeping. She is that dedicated.


I spent another hour in my dorm hanging out with Trish before deciding to leave to go for a walk. I make my way along the corridor, down the stairs and out of the Girls dorms. The sun is shining brightly with a slight refreshing breeze to cool you off from the heat.

The sun was high in the sky as i wander aimlessly about the campus. I take in my surroundings trying to get a feel for area and take a mental picture so i don't get lost. I'm not the only one who decided to go outside today , a few people are sitting on the grass enjoying the sun with their friends while others are just taking a walk like me. I walk through the main building and make my way out the doors on the west side heading towards to the male dormitories to check that out, i then turn back to go along the grassy area near the front of the main building.

I make it back and find an empty tree to sit down under, I grab the pair of purple headphones out of my bag that i borrowed from Trish and close my eyes as i let the music take me away.

I sat there for about half an hour enjoying the fresh air and the suns rays before my peaceful bliss was interrupted with a ball hitting me on the head.

"What the hell?," I say taking off the headphones

I look down rubbing my head and find a football laying there, i grab it angrily standing up ready to give who ever it was that threw the ball a piece of my mind but i am stopped when i see the Greek god running my way in a slight panic with a concerned look on his face and stops in front of me. 'Wow he's even taller up close'.

"Oh shit! I am so sorry i swear it was an accident i didn't mean for it to hit your head i just threw it a bit too hard and my friend didn't catch it quick enough, Are you okay? Do you need Ice? i can go get some for you- ," He rambles on in a panic running his hand through his hair.

I stand there staring at him wondering what to say. His voice is like music to my ears and those eyes they are so beautiful they are very friendly looking but have a mischievous sparkle to them.

Realising he has stopped talking and staring at me with a strange expression on his face, i panic a little and open my mouth to speak but nothing comes out and quickly close it again, feeling my cheeks become red i put my head down, only to slowly bring it back up hearing him chuckle in amusement.

"Uhh y-yeah i'm fine and it's okay don't worry about it accidents happen all the time," i say my voice sounding a little odd and cough to try getting it to sound normal again.

"just be careful not to throw the ball too hard next time and hit unexpected people on the head," I laugh rubbing my head again, he laughs and nods his head.

I hand him his ball back which he takes gratefully and flashes me his dazzling smile.I mentally swoon.

"I'll try not too and thanks," He holds his ball up and nods

We stand in awkward silence just looking at each other, he tosses his ball from hand to hand and opens his mouth to speak but quickly shuts it again. 'Maybe i should introduce myself put a name to the face because i can't keep calling him the blonde guy or Greek god'. I flash him a smile and put my small hand out for him.

"I'm Ally Dawson," I say as he takes my hand in his feeling a spark ignite through me and jump a little. I think he felt it too , he looks a little shocked and the stare he is giving me is very intense.

"I'm Austin Moon," he flashes me another smile and slowly lets go of my hand.

I frown a little at the loss of his touch 'His hands are so soft'.

"Nice to meet you Austin Moon,"

I pick up bag putting the headphones back in and give him another smile 'Seriously stop smiling so much you'll freak him out'.

"Nice to meet you too Ally Dawson, you're Cassidys friend right?," he asks.

I wasn't sure if i should say yes or not, we only met yesterday and hung out once but then again we got on pretty well and i'm sure we'll all hang out again, i mean we have the party tonight so i think it's safe to say we're friends now.

I look up at his big brown eyes trying really hard not to get lost in them and nod my head.

"Yeah i am, how did you know that?," I ask curiously

"I'm friends with Dallas, I saw you last night at the table when he went over to talk to her, he hasn't stopped talking about her," Austin explains.

'oh yeah you were there last night and made me choke on my drink when i caught you staring at me that was so embarrassing' I say in my head, i can't believe i forgot about that, he's just so dreamy i'm not surprised to be honest.

"Oh! Yeah sorry about that, it was kinda cute tho," Austin said rubbing the back of his neck a small blush covering his cheeks.

I freeze my eyes widen a little as i look at him. 'OMG! HE CALLED ME CUTE!'

"Shit, did i say that out loud?," I ask embarrassed my cheeks becoming inflamed again.

'I can't believe i just did that i didn't want him to know he was the reason i chocked on my drink, i really need to pay more attention' I inwardly scold myself.

Austin slowly nods chuckling as a slight breeze blows by us moving his hair a little from his face.

I laugh embarrassed putting my head down 'Great just Great' I shuffle my feet as i tuck a piece of fallen hair away from my face and look back up at him not sure what to say, but before any of us could say anything another voice shouts.

"Hey Austin, Hurry up dude we've got some ass kicking to do!,"

We turn around to find the red headed guy i saw yesterday standing waving his arms about looking a little impatient with a teasing smirk on his face as he looks between Austin and I.

Austin turns back to me and smiles apologetically.

"Sorry i should probably get back to that," Austin uses his thumb pointing to the impatient red head.

I nod my head in understanding

"It's okay i need to get going as well i've got stuff i need to do anyway," I say as i fix my bag on my shoulder.

"See you around Ally" Austins says as he walks backwards and gives me a two fingered salute.

"See you around Austin" I repeat after him

Austin smiles as i give him a small wave and one last smile before i start walking back to my dorm, i quickly look back to see him still facing my direction staring at me with a smile on his face. He gives me wink and turns back to his friends as i fight the blush that spreads across my cheeks, turning back as my thoughts are filled with him and smile 'Austin Moon'.

I arrive back at my dorm a few minutes later to find Trish lay flat on her bed with Carrie sat leaning against the wall on Trishs bed while Cassidy is sat on mine leaning against the wall talking what i assume is about the party tonight.

"Hey Ally," the girls chorus when they see me, i smile and give them a wave

"What's up?," I say dumping my bag on the table and grabbing the head phones handing them Trish nodding my head at her in thanks before taking a seat next to Cassidy on my bed. Trish stares at me with curiosity for a second before turning her attention back to the conversation at hand.

"We were just discussing outfit ideas for tonight," Carrie says playing with an elastic band

"Do you know what you're gonna wear?," I ask her.

she shrugs as she stretches out the elastic band.

"I'm still trying to figure that out," she laughs as she looks at Trish with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Trish could you help me? i mean after all you are a fashionista," Carrie pleads with Trish clasping her hands together on the verge of begging her.

Trish laughs shaking her head in amusement and nudges her with her foot pushing her over.

"Of course i will you didn't think i was gonna let you girls get ready all by yourselves, We are gonna rock everyone's socks off tonight and make a lasting impression," Trish says with sass as she stands up and strikes ridiculous pose.

Cassidy, Carrie and i look between each other trying to hold other laughter in as she strikes another pose but it becomes too hard and i let it out setting everyone off even Trish. After a few minutes the laughter slowly dies out and turn to Cassidy.

"So have you spoke to Dallas?" I ask poking her arm teasingly.

Cassidy swats my hand away and laughs as a bright smile finds its way across her face and her cheeks become rosy.

"Well he text me this morning and we ended up talking for like 2 hours, he's so sweet and kind Ally, i've never met any one like him before" Cassidy explains excitement with a hint of shyness laced through her voice.

"He said the party starts at 8 and it's at his house that he shares with like 3 other guys, his family is very wealthy but he isn't flashy about it and that's why he has a job at the restaurant his parents wanted him to be like every other kid instead of becoming spolied bratty rich kid"

"Well that's good, Where is his house?" Carrie asks as Trish sits back down on her bed.

"It's not too far from the campus about a 10 minute drive away" Cassidy says

I wonder how big the house is from what Cassidy said about him being from a wealthy background i wouldn't be surprised if it was a mansion but then again you never know i'll just have to wait and see.

"You really like him don't you?," Carrie asks her

I watch Cassidy as she puts her head down then slowly bringing it back up as she looks between the 3 of us with her rosy red cheeks and a shy smile nodding her head slowly.

"Yeah i do, it's crazy i've never liked a guy this quickly before, it's completely nuts,"

"I wonder if i'll meet a guy who i can dance the night away with me," Trish speaks up with a thoughtful look on her face.

I look from Cassidy to Carrie and put my hand over my mouth giggling quietly.

"What?,"

"Oh yeah you have great dance moves," Cassidy laughs

"Yeah so good you should dance and cook at the same time more often, work it girl!," Carrie teases playfully jumping up on Trishs bed and swivels her hips in circle clicking her fingers and pulls a face imitating her.

Cass and I lose ourselves in uncontrollable laughter as Carrie continues dancing on the bed.

"What the hell? how did-," Trish stops as she comes to a sudden realisation and slowly turns her head towards me giving me 'You sneaky little bitch i'll get you back for this' look.

"Ally" Trish says slowly raising her eyebrows

I try to calm myself down and attempt to look at her apologetically but epicly fail.

"I'm S-sorry T-T-Trish i couldn't help it," I stop as another bought of laughter hits as i recall what i had woken up to earlier this morning

"You didn't see me and i couldn't just leave it, it was just too funny,".

Trish grabs a cushion from the top of her bed and throws it at me. I fall to the side as it hits and hold it tightly as i continue to laugh along with Cassidy and Carrie.

"I'll get you back Ally Dawson you just see if i don't," Trish says evily before slowly starting to laugh with us as Carrie does another odd dance move.

They say laughter is contagious well i'll tell you something they are not wrong whoever they may be. We laughed for another 5-10 minuets before properly calming down then talked for another hour and a half before deciding it was time to go get something to eat.


I decided i'm gonna leave it there nothing really happens when they go out to eat so the next chapter will start with them getting ready for the party and the girls at the party with some other stuff added in. Anyway Austin and Ally have finally met and spoken words to each other lol. I'm feeling a bit more confident with this story i'm not sure why and i'm happy with the way this chapter turned out. Anyway hope you guys liked the chapter and let me know what you think. So until next time, bye x
