First of all I would like to say sorry times a million to all you guys, and I really wouldn't blame you if you stop reading my story, but I hope you don't.

However, I did have a good reason. Being newly 15 and in year 10 (9th Grade for you Americans) unfortunately I have had real exams that could count towards my future. So for the past 3 months all I've been doing is revision and exams. Boo. My dad's hardly let me on my laptop for the Internet since April, and I certainly haven't had the time to write another chapter.

But, my last exam was on Monday, (YAY!) and I'm free till September. So from now until then I'll try to post a new chapter twice a week to make up for all the time you've gone without my story.

Lastly, I'd like to say that all you guys are AMAZING! Never did I expect to be only a few reviews away from 200 after only 6 chapters! Oh my god! I love absolutely all of you. Honestly, this is the most amazing support ever.

Anyway, I'm done babbling now and you can read on. Disclaimer: I do not own Austin and Ally. Enjoy

Austin's POV

God Ally's gorgeous. I swear every time I see her I want to jump her; but I don't. Obviously. All I do is kidnap her every spare minute we each have to… Well I'm not gonna tell you what. But it is PG 13. Promise. If I did anything more, Ally would slit my throat open and pull my insides out. God that's a nasty thought. But it's not like I'm gonna do anything is it? I'm still a virgin, and although I admit that I don't care for everything being absolutely perfect my first time, I don't want it to be in the school closet either. Geez, give me some credit.

With my usual swag I walk up to my locker. Hands in my jean pocket and lean up against is coolly.

"What a surprise to see you here Moron." Ally says dryly. It's nice to know how our special… enemyship… has affected her so. I can practically hear her talking to me right now. You're such a moron. Enemyship is not a word. Well what else should I call us? We're not in a relationship. Nor a friendship. So enemyship's probably the best phrase to use.

"I wouldn't have though it would be too much of a surprise. I mean, considering this is my locker and all." I replied coolly.

Pulling out her Maths books she replies, "I was being sarcastic Moron." She sighs closing her locker. She starts to walk off, but I quickly grab her wrist and pull her back before leaning down to her ear.

"Well try not to be too sarcastic. It could get you in some trouble." I whisper huskily into her ear, and I smirk as she shivers. I love it when she shiver's, I have no idea why, I just do.

"Well… I'll see you in math." She replies trying to keep her cool.

"Will do." I say to her letting go of her wrist, letting her walk off.

Watching her walk off reluctantly I slowly turn to open my locker. Sighing I take out my Math textbook and hear some footsteps behind me. "Hey Austin." I recognize as Dez's voice.

"Hey Dez." I reply turning to him.

"What's up?" He asks.

"You mean in the two minutes since I last saw you? Not much." I reply slightly sarcastically. I think I'm picking up on Ally's sense of sarcasm. However Dez takes no notice of the sarcasm.

"No. I meant with you and Ally." He reply's as if it's obvious. WAIT. What about Ally and me? Is he suspicious? Does he know?

"Umm, what about me and Ally?" I ask slightly nervous. Thankfully Dez doesn't notice. Between you and me, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed.

"I dunno, you just don't seem to be fighting as much." He says leaning back onto the lockers.

"We fought like two minutes ago." I tell him.

"Yeah, but it wasn't like one of those big blow ups you used to have. And why are you suddenly taking her advice about stuff?" He asks.

"Advice? Ally's the last person I would take advice from."

"Well why do you always turn up to class on time? Dude, for 3 years not once did you turn up on time and all of a sudden Ally tells you that you should work harder in class and you start turning up on time and listening to the teacher. LISTENING! AND you've stopped making out with girls. WHO ARE YOU?!" He says shaking me by the shoulders.

"Dude. Calm down." I tell him, pulling his hands off my shoulders. "Look, my parents gave me this long speech a couple of weeks ago. You know, about college applications and what not. And you know how they are, always nagging about college. So they said that even with a B average it's hard to get into the best colleges so they told me to pick up some of my slack and stop messing around with girls and concentrate on school and football. Ok?" I ask him.

"Ok. So… this has absolutely nothing to do with Ally?" He asks.

"Nope. Nothing to do with her at all." I lie through my teeth. Well, I'm not exactly lying. My parents did tell me that I needed to bring up me class average. But they said no such thing about the girls. "Well I better go. Math starts in a minute." I say, walking away from Dez. I just hope he buys it.

Dez's POV

After my conversation with Austin I walk up to the rest of the group.

"So? What did he say?" Trish asks earnestly. Boy is she cute. Wait… I did not just say that. We hate each other, just as much as Austin and Ally do. I just went back on myself didn't I. Oh, who cares; this is a love story between Austin and Ally, not me and Trish. What would our couple name be anyway? Trez? Haha, that's stupid… wait that doesn't actually sound too bad. SNAP OUT OF IT DEZ!

"He said something about his parents wanting him to stop focusing on girls and to focus more on school. I think that bit's true, but when I asked if it had anything to do with Ally he completely lied to my face!" I yelped shaking Trish's shoulders.

"Get off me you dufus!" She shouted pushing me off her.

"So it does have something to do with Ally?" Cassidy asks, and I nod. "Interesting. He must really like her."

"That's been obvious for ages Cass. But how do we get him to admit it. And how do we get Ally to stop hating Austin?" Dallas asks.

"That's gonna be really difficult. I have no idea how we're gonna do that." Trish says and we all turn to her.

"Why?" Zack asks.

"Yeah, why?" Amber asks.

"Because, she's still mad at the fact that he bullied her all in freshman and sophomore years." Trish reply's.

"But Trish, it wasn't just Austin doing the bullying. Dallas, Zack and Dez did too. And Charlie, although he didn't actually bully her, he still laughed at the nicknames everyone called her. Same with me, Amber and Cassidy. We still made fun of her. She forgave us. Why not Austin?" Kim asks. Suddenly I feel bad. I hate being reminded of how I used to treat Ally.

"I know she forgave you. What you guys did to her was horrible and I don't know if she'll ever forget that. But she know's that you've changed and that you really are sorry for what you did to her." Trish explains to us.

"But that doesn't explain why she forgave us and not Austin." Charlie says to Trish.

"Well, I guess it was harder for her to forgive him. You guys were complete strangers when you started bullying us. So I guess she feels as if you were only doing it to go along with the crowd. But her and Austin… I don't actually know how close they were but from what I've heard they were pretty inseparable." She says to us.

"Wait, what? Austin and Ally were friends?" I ask her. Austin never told me they were friends. I look around at the rest of the group and they look just as confused as I am.

"Yeah. Best friends. Didn't you know that?" She asks us and we all shake our heads. "I can't believe Austin never told you about it."

"Ally didn't tell us either." I say.

"Well, yeah but it's really hard for Ally to talk about what happened." Trish tells us.

"What did happen?" Cassidy asks.

"Well, in kindergarten when they met they became friends. After that they were sort of inseparable. Their parents became best friends. They even went on holiday together and stuff." She tells us.

"Then what happened?" Charlie voices curiously.

"Well you know in freshman year, when the senior's were picking the new group of freshman guys?" She asks us and we all nod. I remember that vividly. "Well, the leader of the senior's back then said something to Austin about being the leader for our year and asked if he was interested. Obviously Austin said yes. But he told Austin that if he wanted to be the leader, he would have to dump Ally as his friend. And that's exactly what Austin did. He left all ties of their friendship behind and became her lead bully. She never really got over it. As much as she tries." She says.

"Wow. He did that to her?" I ask. I can't believe he did that.

"Yeah. And at first when he did it, Ally was devastated. I was the only friend she had." Trish tells us.

"And all along I always thought that the reason she hated Austin most was because he was her main bully and never really apologized to her for bullying her. Not because he betrayed her." Kim says.

"I know. But you know, although Ally hasn't forgiven him yet, she still could. I mean, he did that a long time ago, he was young, stupid and wanted popularity. I guess it would be hard for him to apologize when he knew that Ally would never forgive him." Trish says.

"So all we need to do now is figure out a way for Ally to somehow forgive Austin for what he did." Amber tells us.

"How on earth are we gonna do that?" Dallas asks.

"Let's all think about it, and if one of us has an idea, we'll tell the others. Ok?" Charlie asks, and we all nod before making our way to first period.

Ally's POV

Austin always knows how to push my buttons. How? I have no idea. He just says one thing and suddenly I'm practically at his mercy. Not that I'd ever show it. Ever.

"So, Ally, meet me at the Oak tree in the courtyard in third period." He whisper's to me as we're doing trigonometry.

"Are you crazy? Anyone could see us!" I whisper yelled back to him.

"No they won't. It's free period not lunch, and usually in free periods students are on the main grounds, or the library. Not the courtyard." He whispers back.

"Still. What if someone does see us?" I ask.

"They won't. Stop worrying. If you worry too much you'll get worry lines." He says teasingly.

"Hahaha." I reply sarcastically.

"You know you really should stop being so sarcastic all the time." He whispers right into my ear making me turn to him, just to see that stupid smirk on his face (I'm not gonna admit that I kind of find it adorable.)

"Oh shut up." I tell him, making him smirk grow wider, before I turn my attention back to the teacher.

So there you have it. The 7th chapter. I'm not too sure if I'm proud of it. Oh, and if previously I've written that the gang know's about their friendship, forget about that.

The next one's gonna be good. Dinner at the Moon's. Some tension's gonna be there. I should update by around Sunday, but it could be earlier if I get enough reviews. Hint, hint.

I'll see all you guys soon. Cheerio, peace out, tata, pip pip, bye. Alyssaxxx
