Guess what time it is? 3-freaking-AM. Guess who decided a whole lot of guilt for not updating sooner and decided to suck it up and write 1,845 words with a crazy headache? M to the E.
I'm sorry for the late chapter but you have to give me some credit for updating at 3AM. My mom told me to go to sleep and I'm writing on mobile. MOBILE. DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THAT IS?
But I guess I deserved it, kinda. I should've written this a long while ago.
I love you all for the reviews. Thank you.
amyli888 : Thank you so much! I said this in the last chapter but she has an amazing story. Check it out! I'm currently waiting for a new chapter. Haha
Dirtkid123 : ;) Read this one. I think it will kinda answer your question.
soccerdandan : OMG... That's so cool. It's coincidental though
Sarcasm-is-life : I LOVE PUNS! Can you give me another? Pretty please? ;)
"Seriously? What the hell is wrong with you?"
"Okay, let me explain…"
"You have got to be kidding me."
"You have to listen…"
"You promised to stay away from the-one-who-shall-not-be-named!"
"This is some serious déjà vu." Ally commented as she put her hand near Trish's mouth to stop her from talking.
"He is my neighbor. I'm obviously going to see him a lot, and it'd be nice if I actually got along with him. You used to be friends with him. You and Dez still love him." Ally sighed.
"Ally, of course Dez and I still..." Trish jumped in surprise when a hand was felt on her shoulder.
"I heard my name." Dez said with a bright smile. Trish glared at Dez.
"As I was saying, Dez and I still love Austin. But that doesn't change the fact that he is a bad guy." Trish talked to Ally as if she was talking to a small child. Dez nodded next to Trish.
"Austin is a good guy." Ally argued.
"Thanks, darling." A deep voice said behind her. Ally whirled around and found Austin coming out of the corner of the hallway. "Dez. Trish." he spoke as he nodded towards them. There was a few seconds of silence as the three realized he had been listening all this time.
"I'm a good guy." he chuckled darkly as he repeated Ally's words.
"I was just looking out for my friend." Trish defended.
As soon as those words left Trish's mouth Austin snapped. "Just like when my dad died?" Trish's mouth opened in shock. She looked like she wanted to say something but no words came out.
Austin just laughed bitterly. "Let's go, Ally." he said as he pulled her arm.
The brunette was still in shock of what just went down. Her eyes went back and forth between Austin, Trish, and Dez. Her head was slightly hurting. She didn't know if she should follow Austin or not.
"Seriously?" Austin spoke as if he couldn't believe it. "This is why you can't trust anyone." With that he stormed off.
The first bell of the day rang. But the trio didn't move. Dez broke the silence soon after though. "Alright. Ally, you should head to your homeroom. Mr. Zee, was it?" Ally barely nodded. "Great. Well, you should know the way. Trish and I will head to ours." He held Trish by her shoulders and left Ally.
She walked fast to get to the classroom in time. But that was when she realized something terrifying. She had her seat next to Austin.
She bit her bottom lip and walked over to her seat. Austin watched Ally as she passed through the desks. He raised his eyebrows expectantly when she stopped in front of him. She walked slowly and sat down next to him.
The whole class was chatting about who knows what. They were the only ones seated and silent. Ally glanced in his direction and spoke quietly. "I'm sorry." She didn't know what she was exactly apologizing for. But she felt like she needed to say something. Austin turned his body to face hers and stared into her eyes.
And it was one of the most uncomfortable things she had ever experienced. He just stared. And for some weird reason she couldn't help but stare back despite the uncomfortable feeling. He smirked. "Do I make you nervous?" he asked as if he could read her thoughts. When Ally blushed and looked away, he just smiled to himself.
"No, I'm sorry. I just snapped. I was having a really bad day and something snapped in me, I guess." he shrugged. "But thanks for defending me, though." he said sincerely.
Ally was surprised to hear Austin apologize but she accepted the apology nonetheless.
She wanted to question him on what happened between him and her two other friends but she decided against it. She did just get him to calm down, after all.
After Mr. Zee passed out a piece of paper with information about the upcoming camping event, the bell soon rang. Austin stayed seated for a while waiting for the huge group of students to rush out.
The classroom was empty now. Austin stood up and looked down at the brunette to do the same. Ally slowly stood up and asked, "Will you go to all your classes today?"
To Austin, she looked so innocent with those words coming out of her mouth. "You want me to go to all my classes?" he asked with a teasing smirk.
Both were surprised when Ally just crossed her arms and glared. "I didn't know anyone yesterday. I only had Trish and Dez in my first period and lunch." Austin's eyes darkened at the mention of Trish and Dez. "I'm pretty sure you'll be fine without me."
"Austin, what happened?" Ally asked cautiously.
"It's none of your goddamned business." He growled and walked out of the classroom. On his way out, he was met with Dez. "Hey, man." Dez said cringing slightly.
Austin nodded and continued walking.
Dez faced Ally. "C'mon, the bell should ring any minute."
She groaned quietly walking to her locker for gym clothes.
PE. Her least favorite subject. At least it was the last class of the day.
You can leave it all to me to screw things up, she thought frowning.
All day she was trying to find Austin to talk but no luck. For a student who had all her classes with, she barely spent any time with him.
The day passed so slowly it was almost too painful for her to handle. The angry blonde and the fact that she was barely made any friends other than a few Trish had introduced at lunch were two of the many reasons why she really wished she could go home.
Everyone staring at her, judging every movement was another.
"Don't these people have lives?" she muttered to herself under her breath.
She finally reached her locker and greeted Trish. She was just thankful for the fact that one of the very few friends she had here had her locker right next to her own.
Trish started talking about how Dez poured too much "purple potion" (as Dez liked to put it) and their chemistry experiment turned into a disaster. Ally laughed at her story when the hallway speaker boomed.
Mr. Conley's (the principal) voiced filled the hallway.
"Ahem. Miss Dawson to the principal's office. I repeat Miss Dawson to the principal's office." with that everyone started talking.
"Isn't that the new girl?"
"She looks so quiet. What did she do?"
"She may seem shy and quiet but I heard that she got in so much trouble from her old school. That's why she's here now."
"She's hot. I call dibs."
"Looks like a fake slut to me. Shut up, Dallas."
Trish rolled her eyes at the student before smiling at the brunette. "Hey, I'm sure it's nothing. I have free period and I need to head to the student government meeting. See you after school, maybe?"
Ally nodded grinning. With a quick wave Trish hurried down the hallway.
Ally sighed and headed to the principal's office. She was more than glad at the fact that she agreed with Trish on a quick tour of the school yesterday.
She ignored all the stares and walks as quickly as possible. Despite all the unwanted and completely unnecessary attention she was receiving, she smiles.
Maybe it was because she now had a friend to hang out after school or because she was happy to miss the gym class.
But as soon as the office was revealed behind the door, her smile disappeared fast. She swallowed a gulp of air when she spotted none other than Austin Moon sitting across Mr. Conley.
She walked cautiously towards the leather chair next to his and sat down slowly. Austin just rolled his eyes. "I don't bite."
Ally was about to reply when the middle aged man scolded the boy. "I said, no more words, Mr. Moon." Austin scoffed.
"Sorry about that dear," he apologized to the girl. "Now, you might be wondering why you are wanted here." Ally just nodded.
"Okay. So I don't do this a lot. Especially to new students. But you have a great personality from what I can tell, above the average grades, and a great potential. You're a great student while this young man over here isn't."
Austin scowled. Ally spoke up this time, "Sir, every single one of his classes are AP, too." Austin turned to her with a surprised expression than smirked. "Yeah, Conley. Just because I have a pretty face doesn't mean I can't have pretty grades." he pointed out as if it were the solution to world hunger.
"Mr. Moon! Zip it!" the older male spoke sternly and faced Ally. "My apologies, again. Yes, Ally. He has a great grade. What I was trying to say was that he needs someone who can encourage him to actually participate in school. Attend classes, avoid troubles, and so on. So basically, you're his 'buddy'."
Ally's face showed horror. "Mr. Conley, I'm not sure about this."
"Ally. Austin has great potential. I think you can help him." Mr. Conley said. Austin's head snapped up and stared at the man. Austin's expression was hard to read but she could tell he was surprised.
His expression made Ally say the sentence that will get her into all sorts of adventures. The school year she was planning to spend quietly was about to get a whole lot crazier.
"I'll do it."
I'll update as soon as possible. Y'all are awesome.
Review? Please tell me what you thought of the chapter! Make my night worth it!
