Ally walked through the doors of her small house. She was greeted by her white and grey husky Rocky that has piercing blue eyes. She smiled as she crouched down to greet him.
"Hey boy. How are you?" she scratched his ears as he started laying on his back wanting to be pet.
She led him to the kitchen where she put food and water in his dog bowl and walked to her room.
She rummaged through her closet trying to find something to wear. She'd pick out an outfit and look herself in the mirror either the outfit was to formal or to casual mid way through finding an outfit Rocky came in and laid out on her bed.
"Do you like this one?" She asked him, but would answer herself.
She found a white lacey blouse and then thought back to the cute teal high waisted skirt she found earlier with it's tag still on. She put the two together and looked herself in the mirror and her and Rocky liked it so she went to the restroom and put it on.
She let her hair down in natural curls and added a little bit of product to it. She put on some mascara and light pink lipstick.
She put on brown boots and grabbed her bag and keys before leaving to Austin's house.
She used her GPS to find the house. His house was in a coldisak and it was filled with gorgeous, two story houses when she reached Austin's house it was a beautiful white two story house with a balcony and a lovely patio.
She stepped out of her 1967 Chevy Impala and walked to the brown wooden front door with a peep hole. She knocked on the door three times and waited.
"Who is it?" said the voice on the other side.
"Its Ally." she said smiling like a fool.
"Who?" said the voice and she figured it was Jake.
"It's Ms. Dawson." She looking at her feet and waited for him to open the door. When the door open she was met with a small boy with a big smile.
He grabbed her hand and they walked to the dining room. They got there just in time because Austin came in with a bowl of Macaroni and Cheese and juice.
Jake and Ally were standing by the door in the hallway. Austin had just set the food and drinks on the table when he felt someone watching him. More like two someone's.
He turned around and Jake and Ally were whispering to each other and laughing. He stood up straight and looked himself over was there a stain on his white shirt or light blue jeans maybe a hair out of place.
His clothes were clean and he picked up a spoon to check out his reflection but nothing.
"What are you two laughing about?" he asked quizzically.
"Oh nothing." Ally waved it off.
"Yeah dad its nothing." Jake followed Ally's lead. Then they both laughed silently again.
Austin was still skeptical but tried not to let it bother him. "Uh huh. Well dinners ready."
"Come on Ms. Dawson you can sit next to me." Jake ushered her to her seat.
"How about when were not in school you just call me Ally but we don't tell the others..Deal?" She stuck out her pinky.
He linked their pinkies together and agreed with her terms.
For the first few minutes they ate in silence occasionally smiling at each other.
"So Ally." Came Austin's booming voice. Ally's head shot up and she looked at Austin giving him her attention instead of to her food.
"Tell me a little about yourself. I already know that your Jake's favorite teacher." He took a sip of his juice looking at her the whole time.
"Well I'm glad he thinks that." She shakes Jake's hair and he smiles at her then going back to his food carefully listening to the two adults. "I lead a pretty ordinary life. I'm a teacher and I love it, I have a white and grey husky named Rocky, I love music but who doesn't.." Austin butted in before she can say more.
As soon as she spoke the words music he became more intrigued. "Music. What kind of music do you listen to." He rested his head on his palm eagerly awaiting her answer.
"I listen to what's on the radio sometimes, but I'm a big fan of the classics. You know Jimmy Hendrix, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles. Those are my top favorites."
Austin's eye balls almost fell out of his sockets he thought only stoners and people from that time frame would like that type of music.
"Oh my gosh Ally you just blew my mind. No offense but I didn't peg you for the type to like such music." Ally just laughed at his comment.
"None taken I'm glad I beat your expectations of me." She blushed looking at her half empty plate.
"Dad who are they?" Jake asked not knowing who the heck they are talking about. He didn't hear any music other than 'Twinkle Twinkle' and 'The Itsy Bitsy Spider '.
"Their artists that me and apparently Ally like." Jake just nodded his head in understanding.
Austin and Ally talked for a bit more with Jake asking questions wanting to be apart of the conversation.
"I'm tired daddy." Jake blurted out of the blue. They looked at the time and it was ten and way past his bed time.
"I should be going too. It is pretty late." Ally picked up her plate and took it to the kitchen and per Austin left it in the sink.
"Lets walk you out." Austin carried a sleeping Jake showing Ally to the door.
"Thank you for having me I had a wonderful time."
"No thank you. You were great company to have." They stood their not knowing what comes next. Jake began snoring and Ally to that as her cue to leave.
"Bye. Tell Jake I'll see him Monday." Ally said waving goodbye as she walked down the steps and the path leading to her car.
"Bye " He whispered not wanting to wake Jake and because she was already at her car driving off.
After Austin put Jake to bed upstairs in his room. He went downstairs and washed the dirty dishes before heading to bed himself.

Ally had made it home safely and she was sleepy her body was on automatic it led her to her bedroom and didn't bother letting her change so she got under the covers and went to sleep with Rocky at her feet.
Ally woke up the next day to someone ringing her door bell excessively and blowing up her phone at the same time.
She got out of bed and went to where she left her bag by her bedroom door. She didn't bother looking at the caller she just answered it.
"Hello?" she answered groggily.
"Hey Ally its Trish I'm at your door and it would be great if you answered." Came Trish's chipper voice.
"Okay." Ally smiled and went back to sleep where she sat. The words were going through her head and when they reached her now woken up brain she remembered Trish saying she was at her door.
She rushed to the door and only tripping twice. She is very clumsy. She opened the door as was met by a short Latina with curly black hair.
"Hey Trish." Ally had morning breath, Trish plugged her nose and told Ally to take care of her morning routine and she'll wait in the living room.
Ally and Trish have been best friends since they were five, when a punk kid pushed Ally off the swing Trish took care of the boy and they did everything together since.
Ally showered, brushed her teeth and dressed in sweats and a t-shirt leaving her hair to air dry.
"Okay Trish what are you doing here so early in the morning you're never up this early " Ally asked feeling refreshed and energized.
Trish laughed lightly, " You do know its already two in the afternoon." She laughed as Ally's jaw dropped. She never slept past six on school days and eight on weekends.
"What were you doing that had you being forgetful." Trish tone suggested something that Ally wasn't ready for.
"No! Gross Trish. I was having dinner with friends." She didn't know whether her student and his father counted as friends.
"Ooh really. Good to hear you got out of the house and away from your books and movies."
"Trish you make me sound like a hermit."
"I'm just saying Ally I'm glad your going out."
Ally just smiled and nodded.
"Now the reason I am here." Trish's tone became serious. "I went on a date last night and it went great we really hit it off an he wants to go out again next Saturday." Both girls squealed and were jumping up and down on the couch.
This was big for Trish after what went down between her and Trent she swore off men.
"I'm so happy for you Trish! Give me all the details." Ally didn't date she
had high school crushes but when she found our they were jerks she'd lose interest in a way.
The two girls gushed over the details about Trish's picnic date with Jace.
"He works at The Coffee House part time and he's a BMX rider. We both like me its perfect." Trish said throwing a popcorn in her mouth looking back at the movie playing on the 60' plasma screen, smart tv with surround sounds to make it feel like their actually in the theater instead of on Ally's couch.
"That's great Trish I'm happy that your happy." Ally was paying attention to the first half but when they put on the movie 'My Bloody Valentine' her focus was on it.
It was pretty late after they watched three different horror movies. Trish fell asleep sometime between the end of the Halloween and the beginning of the Freddy Kruger.
Ally didn't bother waking her because she knew better than to get between her and her beauty sleep, she went to the hall way closet and pulled out a blanket and cover Trish before going to her room to go to sleep herself.

he rest of both their weekends were un-eventful. Ally hung out with Trish and Austin and Jake had father and son time they went to the park, ice cream shop and relaxed at home with pancakes.
Its now Monday and that means back to work. Austin worked as a probono lawyer at Calvin Michaels a law firm. He loved his job they are understanding about him being their whoever for Jake and know he won't take work home.
He was at his desk working on a case that he won going over the final paper work, crossing the I's and dotting the t's when he heard a knock on his door.
"Cone in." He shouted not bothering to look up from his paper work. The person cleared their throat and he looked up to see a tall, beautiful, browned eyed, blonde in a black tight pencil skirt and a white button up leaving some for imagination. He tried not to let his mouth drop and drool over her.
"Yes can I help you?" He smiled to himself to be able to sound normal.
"No I just wanted to stop by and say hello. I'm going to be working here and I wanted to get to know some of my co workers.
"I'm Austin." His voiced deepened and his chest stuck out. She laughed at his cute gesture.
"Cassidy. Nice to meet you." She looked around his office and saw that he had great view of Rain-city and she spotted the picture of what she presumed was his son.
"Is he yours? He's just adorable." She shouted holding something in her eyes.
"Yeah he's the best." He didn't know what else to say so he just fixed his red tie and rocked back and forth on his heels just awkwardly standing there.
"So Austin how would you like to go grab lunch and you tell me about yourself." She was forward and knew what she wanted and she wanted Austin.
