Ally's POV:
I heard my alarm clock sound and I almost felt like crying. It felt like two seconds ago that I'd finally
fallen asleep after that doll ran out of battery. I lifted myself up and leaned my back on the
headboard, my eyes still closed. I sighed as I moved my hands around the bed and bedside table and
found my phone. I opened my eyes and shrieked at the initial greeting of pink and Barbie dolls. I was
actually quite terrified until I realised where I was. I placed a hand to my chest and tried to slow my
breathing as I took my phone in the other hand. I tapped the screen a few times and checked the
time. FIVE AM. Why had I set my alarm to that? It must have been the confusion. I sighed. Well I was
awake now, so I should probably just get up. I rolled out of bed and landed on the fluffy pink carpet,
the impact of the fall, making me wide awake. "One fall wasn't enough for you Ally", I mumbled to
myself and rubbed the back of my head. I laid the bed neatly and got my overnight bag from the
floor. I went into the bathroom and brushed my teeth and then showered. After I'd moisturized, I
slipped on my undergarments and uniform and slid on my shoes and socks. I sat down at the vanity
in the room and as I sat the twinkly bulbs in the pink heart shaped frame lit up and I smirked. I
looked at my reflection and then began drying my hair. I brushed my hair as normal, letting it fall in
loose curls. I decided to wear it up and let a few strands hand down. I slicked some French nude
gloss onto my lips and brushed some mascara onto my lashes. I added some eyeliner to my eyes and
blushed my cheeks lightly with some pink to make myself look less like a zombie that had just woke
up and more like a normal teenage girl. I sprayed some perfume on and then got up. I grabbed my
overnight bag and my school satchel and headed out, not noticing my songbook fall on the ground. I
also grabbed the dead Barbie doll and threw her into the back of the small closet. After I'd left the
room, I tiptoed into my actual room and placed my overnight bag in it quietly. I slung my satchel
over my shoulder and headed into the kitchen and made some sandwiches and after eating one, I
stuffed the two others in a paper bag and slipped it into my satchel. I grabbed a bottle of strawberry
flavoured vitamin water from the fridge and headed out, checking the time on my phone. It was
quarter to seven, perfect. I headed down the cobblestone path and headed in the direction I'd
walked in just two days ago. I walked for fifteen minutes in silence and finally sat down on a stone.
You might wonder why I said perfect. Well, if I was going to go through this day and be calm,
collected and focused, I needed some time to think in a serene, tranquil environment, and what
better place than a hidden cave on the beach. I leaned my back against the hard yet smooth surface
of the cave and my eyes drifted to the stream that glittered lightly from the bit of sunlight that
streamed in from the top of the cave. I remembered when I had been here with Austin. I
remembered the energy between us. I remembered that moment when our eyes were locked and
our lips almost touched. I remembered the electricity that flowed through my body every time we
touched. I shuddered lightly as I recalled the pleasant feeling and a smile crept onto my perfectly
bee-stung lips. I was really annoyed with myself. Why did I have to like this guy so much when he
didn't like me back and why did I have to like someone else too. I technically had two major crushes
and I wasn't happy. I was one weird chick. I thought and laughed to myself as I continued to think.
Austin's POV:
As soon as I showered, dressed and grabbed a banana, I immediately began walking towards the
girl's dormitory. It was exactly eight o clock, the perfect time to put the brilliant plan that I had
thought of overnight into action. One, I was going to ask Cassidy to talk and gently break it to her
that I didn't think it was working between us. Two, I was going to apologize to Ally and beg her to
come on a walk with me to the beach so we could talk and I could tell her how I felt. Three, I was
going to pray and hope that Ally felt the same way. Four, I was going to rub it in Dallas's face and
watch as Ally dumped his sorry butt. I approached the entrance of the girl's dormitory and knocked
on the door. I waited for a moment and smiled as Bridget stuck her head around the door. "Hey
Bridget", I said and she grinned. "Hey Austin", she sang and hugged me quickly before letting me in.
"What you doing here?" she asked as she headed towards the kitchen and I followed her. "I came
here to see Cassidy, but how's Ally?" I asked. "Well...I wouldn't know, she was gone before any of us
woke up", she said and I raised an eyebrow. "I hope she's okay", I said and Bridget laughed and
placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "Austin, I'm sure she's fine", she said and I blushed as I
nodded in agreement. "Oh and by the way Cassidy is upstairs in her room", she said with a tiny smile
and headed inside the kitchen. "Thanks", I said and headed upstairs. I walked over to the door of
Cassidy's room and knocked gently. "Come in", called Cassidy's voice and I opened the door. She was
in the room with Trish, doing her makeup but got up and smiled when she saw me. "Hey Austin", she
said and wrapped her arms around my neck in a big hug. She then kissed me and then smiled before
she sat down again and layered her lashes with mascara. "Hey Cass, hey Trish", I said and waved at
Trish and gave her a hopeful smile. "Okay, I get it, I'll leave you two alone", she said and I thanked
her as she headed out. "So what's up?" Cassidy asked me, not turning from the mirror. "Well...I
figured it's been a while since we've been on a date, so want to go on a walk in the park today?" I
asked hopefully and she frowned. "Wait...the park...today?" she asked and I nodded. "Yeah, will that
be a problem?" I asked and she smiled slightly. "No...Not at all, how does four o clock sound", she
said and began brushing her hair. I smiled. "Awesome...can't wait", I said and began heading out of
the room. She got up and turned to me. "Wait...you're leaving already", she said and I nodded. I
kissed her forehead gently and then went out before she tried to get me to stay. I headed down the
stairs and said goodbye to Bridget before I headed out the door and checked the time. It was twenty
past eight; maybe I could find Ally before school started, I thought as I headed towards the school
building.
Ally's POV:
I opened my eyes and flinched as a ray of sun shone into them. I rubbed my eyes lightly and
looked around. I was still in the cave, I must've fallen asleep. I looked down at the ground and picked
up my satchel and placed it on my knees. I unclasped the buckle and reached into the bag and
rooted around for my cellphone. My slender fingers fell on the shiny keys of the phone and I
punched in my pass code and looked at the time. "QUARTER TO TEN", I screamed and shot up from
the stone, dropping my satchel unto the ground, pouring the contents out. I groaned and picked up
everything and placed it back into the bag. I clasped the buckle and slung the satchel unto my
shoulder and ran out of the cave. I ran up the beach and towards the path leading to the school. I
would make it in time for third period if I ran. I raced up the path and ran and ran as fast as my legs
would take me, only stopping briefly for a small breathe. I reached the building, just as the bell ran
for the end of second period. I raced towards my locker and after punching in the combination
looked at my schedule quickly before getting the books I needed and shutting the locker. I leaned
against it and took deep breaths as students began to pour out of the classrooms. I saw Bridget
head out a classroom and immediately she saw me, she excused herself from her friends and raced
over to me. "Ally! Where were you? I was beginning to worry, you missed two periods", she said and
pulled me into a small hug. "Sorry Bridge, it's just I went to the beach this morning to clear my head
and I sort of fell asleep and didn't wake up until about twenty minutes ago", I told her and she
nodded. "So that's where you were this morning, Austin came round, he asked about you", she said
with a smile and began exchanging books from her locker and then began reapplying lipgloss. "He
did", I said feeling a rush of inside pleasure regardless of me being mad at him. "Yeah, why so happy
about it?" Bridget asked cheekily and tossed her lipgloss into her satchel. I turned to face my locker
as I blushed. "What, I'm just normal about it, it's not like I like Austin or something, pfft, where'd you
get that idea from", I said and laughed awkwardly. Bridget closed her locker and leaned on it
crossing her arms across her chest. "Ally, I didn't say anything, but you sure did...so I'm compelled to
ask, when did this crush begin?" she said and slung her satchel over her shoulder and motioned for
me to walk with her, as third period was starting soon. I wanted to argue with her, but I was noticing
now that Bridget was much smarter than she seemed and it'd be no use. "Since the welcome party,
it was like I saw Austin and fell in love; every time we touched it was like static electricity, the good
kind", I found myself revealing to her and she turned to me. "Then Ally, if you feel that way why are
you going out my Dallas", she asked and I blushed. "Well...I think I have feelings for Dallas too, I
know he's not the one but I can't shake the feeling of liking him and I want to try things with him,
especially after what Austin told me yesterday", I said and looked down sadly. "What did he say?"
she asked, playing dumb. "He told me he thought of us as just friends, he said that if anything
happened between us it would be weird and that us together would be crazy", I said glumly. Bridget
laughed and I raised an eyebrow at her. "Ally, I think Austin likes you too, I think he said what he said
because he's too scared to show his feelings and that one other insignificant little detail", she said
and I nodded knowingly. "Cassidy", I mumbled. Bridget nodded. "But I bet Austin would never break
up with the captain of the cheerleading for me, I'm not worth it", I said as we entered the classroom.
I saw Cassidy and I saw Austin, I saw Trish, Dez, Eliza, Britney, Jayden, Tony and Dallas. It was like all
the people I knew here at S.C.A were here plus some other people. "What class is this?" I asked as I
slid into a seat next to Bridget in the front. "Music, isn't it obvious", she said and gestured to some
musical instruments at the back of the class. "Okay...cool" I said and ignored the whispering that had
begun when I walked in. A minute later, the teacher arrived. She was a short woman with long curly
caramel blonde hair, and was in her late twenties. Her eyes were perfectly pools of emerald and
she had the brightest smile. She was wearing a strapless white dress and matching white wedges
and had a multicoloured beach bag slung around her shoulder. She greeted us with her harmonious
voice and sat on her desk before she retrieved some papers from her bag. "That's Leila, she's our
music teacher, she prefers us to call her by her first name then calling her Ms Arsenal", Bridget
informed and I grinned. "If she Mimi's sister?" I asked and Bridget nodded and gave me a curious
look. "Yeah...how'd you know?" she asked and I shrugged. "Just guessed", I lied and turned my
attention to Leila before Bridget could question me further. "Okay students, welcome to music class
this year, I thought we'd start off the year with a classic singing session, here's your music, Bridget
can you go to the piano? Austin you can play the guitar and Tony the drums are all yours", she said
and floated around the classroom, giving people sheets of music. As she approached me she gave
me a hundred watt smile. "Oh hello, and your name is?" she asked as she set a sheet of music on my
desk. "Allyson Dawson, but everyone calls me Ally", I answered and she grinned. "Well welcome to
my class Ally, I hope you'll enjoy it, have you had any experiences in music before?" she asked and
handed the rest of the pages to Britney to hand out and stood in front of me. "Well I sing, I can play
guitar and piano pretty well and I...I...write songs", I said my voice fading shyly towards the end.
Leila's eyes widened happily. "Wow, you are very talented, perhaps you'd like to start us off today",
she said and I was about to protest when she headed back to her desk and propped herself on the
edge. She clapped her hands and the class turned to her. "Okay students, we will begin, Ally here will
start us off", she said and gestured for me to come forward. I reluctantly slid out of my seat and
stood beside her. I looked down at my sheet and waited as the music began. I closed my eyes and
took a deep breath but didn't put my head up. I knew I couldn't do it, but a little voice in my head
said otherwise. It sounded a lot like Austin's. I remembered that day in the cave, 'of course you can
do it, you're the amazing Allyson Marie Dawson'. I nodded to myself and opened my mouth and
some words actually escaped from it. "Here I am, once again, feeling lost but now and then, I
breathe it in, to let it go, and you don't know where you are now, or what it would come to if only
somebody could hear, when you figure out how, you're stuck in the moment, you disappear ", I sang
strongly and I felt a sudden adrenaline rush and did a sassy walk into the middle of the classroom as
the other students burst out in the chorus and I sang along. "You don't have to be afraid to put your
dreams in action, you're never gonna fade you'll be the main attraction", we sang and I sort of
danced over to Bridget and sat beside her and pretended to press the keys of the piano. I smiled at
her and she grinned before I shot up and one of the other guys in the class helped me onto the
piano "in my victory, just remember me, when it turns out right", we sang and I jumped off the piano
and a different guy spun me around and I smiled as I stopped and headed back to the front of the
class. I grabbed a pencil and used it as a microphone as I stood on my desk at the front of the room
as I continued. " cause you know that if you're living your imagination, tomorrow you'll be
everybody's fascination, in my victory just remember me, when I make it shine", I sang and made the
last note long, before I sank down onto the desk and crossed my legs over one another and Austin
played the last chord of the song. I took a deep breath as the classroom went silent and then Leila
began applauding. "That was amazing, you were spectacular Ally", she said and I blushed and slid off
the desk and into my seat. "Thank you...I...I never knew I actually had it in me", I said and she smiled.
"Of course you do", she said and gave my shoulder a reassuring squeeze. The class continued on for
a while with a small lesson on music composition, followed by a jam session before the bell for end
of period rang. My friends rushed up to me and began talking all at once. "Ally, you were incredible",
"Where'd you learn to sing like that?", "You were like a little star", the voices exclaimed and while
blushing, I beamed happily. This was one of the best moments ever, perhaps Allyson Marie Dawson
was finally breaking out of her stage fright and becoming a little star indeed?
