Chapter Three

Ally's POV

Dear Song Book,

I'm feeling sad again. It's been two weeks since my first day of school. It's lunch right now and I'm by myself not bothering to touch my food even though my stomach is growling. I don't have an eating disorder but some days I'm simply not in the mood, which I guess does sound a little stranger.

Trish and her semi popular friends sit on the opposite side of the cafeteria. I hate to admit it because I sound like a stalker, but I like watching them interact and talk, wishing I was there participating in life with them. None of them have noticed me but that's just me being unnoticed, me being a wallflower. But thinking of the perks, I've learned some interesting things about her friends.

One is a very tall red head. He dresses a little funky but seems very confident and assure of himself no matter what. He almost makes the group laugh a lot even if he's making fun of himself. I really want to learn how he does that: poke fun, laugh at himself and his silly mistakes. The other guy looks around my height but could be a little taller. He has brown eyes and brown dark hair. He seems like he's the shy one of their group but not as shy as me. The other girl is tall and beautiful. She as the confidence that shows on her face and a bright smile. She has dirty blonde and pretty blue eyes and I can just tell, she can have ay guy she wanted just by batting her eyes.

I've been catching myself watching one of the boys she hangs out with more than anyone else in their little group. He's all and I'd probably go upright above his shoulders. He's blonde and his hair hands over just above his eyes. And if I'm perfectly honest, his eyes are dreamy. He's smile is friendly and a little contagious. I can tell he's the leader of the group, the social one that brings them all together. I notice a lot of girls around the cafeteria checking him out but I won't judge since I'm doing the same.

I smile from time to time at Trish during first period and I don't believe that nonsense I was telling myself, about me being an annoying new girl trying to be her friend. Apart of getting out of a depression is to stop bringing yourself down. I can tell her smiles are sincere and she doesn't seem like the person to judge. She could have an attitude but she's really only joking and never takes things too far.

Tomorrow is the school's first football game Trish was talking about that one day we spoke in the hall by her locker. She's going with her friends and I think I want to go, even if I don't manage to walk up to her and her friends there. It'll be nice to put myself out there at least, even if no one notices.

"I'm the girl in the corner of the room The one you never notice Getting lost among the stars in the sky Like a picture of focus.

I'm the sun in your eyes Yet you don't see me I wear no disguise But you don't see me

I'm a total surprise And you don't see me I'm so agonized That you don't see me

You don't see me."

I glanced at Trish and her group of friends again and this time I notice the tall blonde one searching around the room. I follow eyes and they lead me to tall the girls smiling at him but he doesn't smile back, not in a mean way though. I don't think he's paying any attention. I scan the room myself and think about how everyone is laughing and talking, enjoying themselves and I'm here alone basically stalking a cute senior.

I closed my book and then looked back up and the blonde boy's brown eyes are already looking deep into mine. He smiles and I get butterflies but before I could smile back I felt myself blush and turned away mentally cursing myself for not smiling back.

"Be confident." I scribbled quickly into my journal as I did the exact opposite: walked out of the cafeteria and decided to spend the rest of the lunch period alone in the library.

"I need to stop writing down advice and not listening to it. I WILL go to the football game and I WILL talk to Trish and met her friends. I WILL enjoy myself." I wrote down randomly and smiled, proud of myself. Setting a goal is the first step for achieving it.

I finish the page off writing down some lyrics that pop into my mind. Hopefully I could finish and add on later and turn it into a real song.

"Stop hiding out in the shadows
Scared to show the world you exist
Don't lock yourself in the darkness
The world is so much brighter than this
Ya, if you never take the shock You never gonna win
So turn it all around and Break down the walls
Come on and take a chance make a stand and
Break, break, break, down the walls."

Austin's POV

I scanned the room a little bored. The same girls always staring at me but I didn't really pay attention to them. I spotted this girl sitting by herself, her food untouched, and she was also scanning the room, probably for her friends. She had nice brown hair with dyed blonde tips and it looked really nice on her because the brown curled into the blonde. I wonder where her friends are. She looked down at her hrnal and then back up where are eyes meet. I smiled at her and she blushed looking away. She's probably too shy to smile back but I bet her smile was pretty.

I guess she spotted her friends because she got up and left the cafeteria.

"Who are you checking out?" Cassidy asked.

"Huh?" I asked. "I wasn't checking anyone out." I said glancing back at the table the girl was just sitting at.

"Can't lie to your friends." Dallas said.

"Tell me about her." Dez said leaning in with the others.

"I can't check someone out with everyone being all up on me asking questions?" I asked.

"You can check out Kira." Trish laughed as I glared at her. "I'm sorry." She apologized.

"That was pretty funny, but don't say that stuff anymore, I really like her." I said and she nodded while high fiving Dez for that joke. Typical Trish.

I hope you guys aren't bored cause it's been just Ally but stick with me q:
