DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin & Ally, nor am I associated with Austin & Ally

The sun has almost sunk below the horizon by the time that I make it back to my dorm after dropping Ally off at her own... They're a pretty good distance from each other. I really want to get out of the dorms soon and get an apartment, but they're expensive, and so I would have to convince Dez to move in with me.

Dez is my roomate, a tall redhead... We've been buddies ever since last year, which was our first year here, when we were first put into rooms together. I gotta admit I hated him at first because he was not at all like the crew I usually hang out with... He was quiet most of the time, but whenever he did speak he tried to tell jokes that, half the time, just made him seem like a dumbass. And he wore stupid clothes, not to mention he carried around a video camera with him everywhere and made YouTube videos once a week... After about a month of trying to ignore him and, no doubt, hurting his feelings, I started to warm up to the guy. He actually wasn't dumb at all, but really smart and gave great advice... And he wanted to be a director, which explained his love for video cameras... I guess the clothes were just part of his personality. We've been tight ever since, venturing almost everywhere together, and I've even taught him to live a little and party every now and then. Given the option to either stay together or move out from one another our sophomore year, we decided to stay together.

I unlock the door and walk into the dorm to find Dez, unsurprisingly, adjusting the lense on his video camera. He looks up briefly from where he was crouched in front of the camera on it's tripod and says, "Hey, Austin."

"Sup?" I say, taking off my jacket and throwing it onto the side of my bed.

"Going to record a new video for my Channel. I would have done it earlier, but I was busy... Sorry."

I laughed. "No problem-o, bro. What's the theme this week?"

"I was actually trying to decide between 'My Most Awkward Moment' and the 'Roomate Tag'. I guess you'll be making that decision for me. I wasn't sure if you'd want to do it since it may take a while and it's getting late and there's classes tomorrow, blah blah blah..."

I laughed and leaned against the wall. "As much as I'd love to know what an awkward person like you's most awkward moment is, that'll have to wait for next week, because I've never gotten to make my debut on your YouTube Channel, and might I say, I look hot tonight."

Dez glanced up at me and rolled his eyes before saying, "Really? You don't look like you have a fever to me."

I grabbed a pillow off the couch and threw it at him, nearly knocking over his camera tripod, but he catches it and shoots me a glare before motioning for me to come and sit next to him. He's sitting in front of a plain white wall that's between our beds, which is kind of his designated recording region. I grab the pillow to hold in my lap as he focuses the camera.

"So what kinds of questions are we answering?"

He pulls out a folded piece of paper out of his back pocket and hands it to me to answer my question. I unfold it to find:

Who is the messiest roomate?

Who is the most academic roomate?

Who is the biggest rule breaker?

Who has the most girls over?

Who is the biggest partier?

"Whoever has their name as the answer to the most questions has to eat a spoonfull of cinnamon." He finishes the statement, before saying, "Ready? 3... 2... 1..."

He clicks the record button and a red light comes on. He grins and waves a hand. "Hey, guys! Dez here, and, as you can see, I have my roomate Austin with me."

He points to me and I wave and flash a charming grin, saying, "Hey, guys!" to mock Dez.

He shoots me a glare before saying, "Today we're going to do the roomate tag. Now, how this works..." He grabs the paper and holds it up, "We've got five questions that we will decide on which one of us the answer fits best... Whoever of us has our name as the most answers will have to eat a spoonfull of cinnamon."

I roll my eyes and say, "Weak."

He punches my arm and I yelp. He clears his throat and reads out the first question. "Who is the messiest roomate."

I'm thoughtful. "I think we're about the same, if we're being honest here... I mean, the entire dorm is wrecked."

He shrugs and nods, saying, "If we had a bathroom, it would probably be way worse, but unlucky for us we got put in a dorm with public showers..."

I groan in exhasperation, it was true. I noticed earlier in Ally's dorm that they had a shower... If freshman had personal showers, why couldn't we have at least been moved into a dorm with a bathroom this year? Dez interrupts my thoughts.

"I think we should put both of our names down for this one. He says, scribbling something on the paper. There is no doubt in my mind when he edits this, he will have the questions put in text, and have both of our names on screen with little tallies to keep up with our scores or something. I've seen too many of his videos to know better... No doubt I would be getting a ton of crap for recording this video with Dez from the crew, but I would worry about that later. Dez moves on to the next question.

"Who is the most academic roomate?"

Dez scoffs. "Me. For sure."

It was true, no point in denying it. I nod my agreement as he writes down his name.

"Who is the biggest rule breaker?" He reads next.

I raise my hand high in the air, and he nods. "No doubt..." He scribbles my name down.

"Who has the most girls over?"

This was, obviously, also a no-brainer. It was me. I had a different girl over almost every weekend, or I was at their dorm, one or the other... Dez had a girl over every now and then, but it was usually some nerd from his classes...

"It's Austin. He's a man whore if I've ever seen one." Mutters Dez, writing down my name without my approval.

"Hey!" I whine, and he furrows his brows.

"What, are you going to disagree?"

I shake my head reluctantly before he rolls his eyes for what seems like the thousandth time tonight and moves on to the final question.

"Who is the biggest partier? Wow, what do you know, another easy question... Austin."

I groan and nod. "You're making me seem like a crazy college kid, man!"

He throws his head back and laughter. "You totally are, though... Okay, so, let's see the results... I have two, while Austin has four... Soooo, guess we'll see just how weak that cinnamon is after all, Austin!"

I smirk. "Bring it."

He pauses the camera while he goes to gather what he needs out of a grocery bag. He returns a minute later with a pastic spoon full of cinnamon, resuming the video.

I put it in my mouth, hold it in for about three seconds before trying to swallow... Big mistake. I end up coughing it out, and Dez is about to piss himself laughing as I try to get the burning to ease by wiping the cinnamon off of my tongue.

We finally finish the video, and Dez takes his laptop and camera over to his bed and begins editing. I change out of everything but boxers and socks, crawling under my covers and switching off the lamp. "Try not to stay up all night or you'll be in a bad mood tomorrow and I will avoid you." I warn him. He merely grunts me a response.

I find myself thinking about Ally and send her a quick text before rolling over and facing the wall, wondering why in the world I was wasting my time on her when I knew she wouldn't want to be with me... Okay, she might want to, but she would never let herself do it because of my image and the way I treated her the first time I met her. She really is different, though, and I was interested to see where this was going to go. Not that I really wanted to date her or anyone else at the time because I enjoyed my time being single... I couldn't deny my feelings, though, and I definitely felt something for Ally, whether I wanted to admit it to anyone else or not.

I begin to panic, wondering if I had given it away that I really did seem to have deep feelings for her? I hope not, I don't need her to know the truth, not yet, anyway... And I certainley had to be careful being seen in public with her, which is one reason why I chose to take her to Starbucks... Not only because I had seen her drinking it when I first saw her, but because none of my crew would be there. I made it risky by crossing campus with her, but I hadn't seen anyone I knew.

My crew were gonna laugh in my face if they saw me with Ally. They were a bunch of "punks" like myself... Worse than me, if I must say so. Partying every weekend and getting laid and whatnot. I'm guilty of the same doings, I just have really tried not to as much ever since Dez and I became buddies because he's kind of opened up my eyes that not everything is about partying and that kind of stuff... Long story short, the crew have been giving me a hard time lately, saying I'm going soft.

And maybe I am, I don't know... When I saw Ally, I just knew I had to have her. She way she walked, the way she pulled her hair back, her sassy, yet innocent attitude... It was hot. I actually like her a lot.

I'm suddenly aware that Dez's phone has been going off with text messages nonstop for the last few minutes.

"Can you put your phone on vibrate?" I ask. I'm answered when the phone dings no more.

I force Ally out of my mind and finally drift off to sleep after what seems like forever, but there's no escape... She's weaseled her way into my dreams as well.

A/N: Soo, I didn't exactly get the response I was hoping for from last chapter, even though I believe I got plenty of reads, soo... I'm gonna set a goal for next chapter of 10 reviews. :) I know I'll probably get criticized for this, as I have before on other stories, but I can assure that it's only because I need feedback from you guys! And I also love knowing what you have to say, it motivates me to write. :) Also, please do NOT think I am promoting underage drinking or partying or anything of the sort. I'm certainly not, this is just reality, as sad as it may be... Don't forget to review, favorite, and follow... Remember, 10 reviews!
