The rest of the day went by pretty normal. I guess Austin didn't tell people about our little run in at the stairwell because people weren't paying attention to me as usual. Every once in a while Austin and I would make eye contact and he would nod and smile and I would smile back.

In study hall I was sitting at my usual table, not many people are in my study hall, so I usually just sit by myself. So imagine my surprise when someone sat in the chair next to mine. I looked and my brown eyes met a familiar pair of warm eyes.

"Hey Austin." I said confused as to why he wasn't sitting with his girlfriend and Dez. I looked around and people gave us weird looks; I was just as confused as they were.

"You're smart, right?" Austin asked as he took out a folder with a bunch of papers in it and a big notebook that also has papers in it. I can't tell he doesn't organize much.

"Um, I guess. Why?" I eyed his folder which had American History written on it. Austin started flipping through it as he answered my question.

"I need help with the Civil War report, and I was thinking who's smart? So, I thought of you. I was wondering if you would help me with the report." Austin started looking through his notebook for this mystery paper.

"Uh, sure, I'll help you. What are you looking for?" I asked. I noticed a paper on the ground and picked it up.

"The notes that we took in class the other day, I can't seem to find them," Austin was back to looking on his folder with a confused look. "I just had them."

"You mean this?" I asked and held the paper by the top with two fingers; it swayed back and forth between my fingers as Austin smiled. "It was on the floor. You should be more organized." I gave him a pointed look and he in return gave me a somewhat sheepish smile.

"I know I should be; but I'm not. This is nothing compared to my locker though." Austin showed me his backpack and I looked inside taken aback by the clutter.

"I could never live like that." I stated and looked back at him as he smiled.

"You think this is bad? You should see my room." Austin commented and I tilted my head, waiting for him to realize what he just said.

"That came out wrong! I didn't mean it like that!" A look of realization came across his face. I let out a small laugh.

"It's ok, I now what you mean." I replied. The teacher cleared his throat and gave us a pointed look. Oh yeah, were supposed to be quiet in study hall.

"Sorry." Austin and I said at the same time. I looked around and noticed Savannah Peters was watching us again. I looked away and started helping Austin with his report.

Halfway through the class another chair was sat in. Austin and I looked up and we saw his red head friend, Dez, sitting there. "Savannah was driving me crazy with all of her talking. She never shuts up!" Dez exclaimed and the teacher gave us another look.

"That table better start being quiet or else I'll you three detention." He said sternly. All three of us apologized and went back to work.


After study hall I was putting my books away when Trish came up to me.

"So, how was study hall with Mr. Boring?" Trish asked as she shifted her backpack.

"Fine; I got yelled at twice." I shrugged it off like it was no big deal. She looked at me surprised.

"What? Why? You're Ally Dawson; you never get in trouble." Trish stated.

"That's not true! Remember when I got in trouble with Ms. Dixon?" I asked her trying to prove my point.

"That was in third grade and you stole a crayon, by accident." Trish gave me a bored look and I shrugged.

"Oh, well. Trouble is trouble." I stated as we walked outside.

"Whatever. So, why'd you get in trouble?" Trish asked and I rolled my eyes; she wont let this go.

"Apparently I was too loud." I said with a 'yeah, right' expression. Trish looked confused.

"What? You hardly even talk to me when we have classes together. Who were you sitting with?" She asked looking even more confused.

"Austin Moon," I replied. "And his friend Dez." I added as an after thought. Suddenly she stopped walking and it was my turn to give her a confused look.

"Austin Moon? The Austin Moon?" Trish asked.

"Yeah, how many Austin Moons do you know?" I asked sarcastically like it was no big deal.

"Why would he sit with you?" Trish asked, hardly believing what I was telling her.

"He wanted help with his Civil War report; it's no big deal." I said as we started walking again. We made our way over to the student pick up and I was on my toes looking for my older brothers car. My brother and I both had shifts at Sonic Boom today.

"Why'd he want you to help him?" Trish asked; what was up with all the questions?

"I'm smart," I said like it was obvious; which it really was. "I gotta go. See ya!" I said as I made my way to my brother's car.

"Bye!" Trish yelled.

I opened the door and sat in the passenger's seat of my brothers Camry. "Hey Justin." I said as I buckled my seat belt.

"Hey, ready to go to work?" Just asked as he pulled out of the parking lot.

"Who isn't ready to work all day after being in school for six hours?" I asked sarcastically and he smiled at me.

"At least you're working the register. I have to help the customers." Justin groaned. We swapped everyday, one day I'll be one the register, the next I'll be helping customers.

"Hah, I'll be able to do my calculus homework while working the register. It's to much math." I complained.

"That's fun." Justin chuckled at me and I glared at him.


The store wasn't that busy today, so I got lots of my homework done. Justin was talking to some lady when a certain brunette came in. I smile while he made his way over to me.

"Hey Ally!" Dallas smiled.

"Hey Dallas, what's up?" I asked.

"I was wondering if you're free on Friday." Dallas asked and I got butterflies in my stomach, I knew what was coming.

"Free as a bird." I replied.

"Wanna go to a party with me?" He looked nervous; it was so cute.

"Sure." I smiled at him.

"Great! Well, I better get back to the cellphone accessory cart. See ya later." Dallas smiled while walking away.

"Bye." I said smiling.

Authors Note: I know Ally doesn't have an older brother, but I'd thought it' be fun. He can be all protective over Ally and what not. Review please! Thanks for reading!(:
