ALLY P.O.V

By now, the first semester of freshman year was almost done. September had flown by, fading quickly into November.

I was dragging my luggage back to campus, after a wonderful Thanksgiving with my parents. I had missed them so much and it was so nice to sleep in my warm comfy bed again, though I did miss Trish's snoring. (Slightly.)

One thing I definitely missed though, was this view. The campus was stunning. Golden and deep red leaves floated around. It was 6 PM. I had grabbed a quick lunch and was heading back to my dorm, luggage in tow.

Northeastern was just as amazing as I had envisioned. Trish was one of the best friends I could have ever asked for. Dez was such a great boyfriend to Trish, and a lucky friend to have as well.

The only downside was-

"ALLERS" someone suddenly hollered from across the sidewalk. The color drained from my face, as the many heads on campus whipped around to see who it was.

Austin.

From working in Intensive music studies together, to him tagging along with Dez everywhere he went, that boy never seem to tire of torturing me.

"Go away Austin" I rolled my eyes, lugging my heavy suitcase towards my dorm. His blond hair was tousled over his face, which ironically did not fail to bring out the gorgeous sparkle in his eyes. His black tee fell lightly over his jeans, as I nonchalantly glanced at his muscles. Not bad... if he could only shut his mouth.

"Oh sweetpea don't be like that" Austin cocked his eyebrow, breaking me out of my trance of thought, "How are Penny and Lester?"

I rolled my eyes. "Austin, you facetimed them like three times." That's right. Whenever Austin stumbled into my dorm as Trish and Dez were going out, he always made sure to say hi to my ever cheerful parents. "It took a week to convince them you weren't my boyfriend."

Austin smirked. "What did you say?"

Oh my gosh. "Wait, did I say that out loud?" I mentally slapped myself as I took a peek at his stupid grinning face.

"Boyfriend?" Austin swiped my suitcase from me, rolling it down the hall as we approached my dorm.

"You wish" I glared at him, as we we fell into step.

"You speak of this to anyone, and you are dead." I wagged my finger at him, as he chuckled. I glared at him.

"Austin you are such a-" I froze as I opened the door. Austin started cracking up beside me in my dorm room.

Trish and Dez were pressed up against the wall. Trish looked breathless, and I had a feeling some very ahem, interesting stuff was going to take place, if I hadn't had just walked in.

"Ally!" Trish blushed "We were just-"

"Leaving" Dez smiled, giving me a quick hug. "C'mon Austin!" He narrowed his eyes, as Austin chortled.

"Trish." I raised my eyebrows closing the door behind us.

"Ally." She smiled back. "How was your break? Did you know our shower isn't working? Maintenance problems. Dez said we could borrow his tomorrow morning though!"

I sat on the bed, crossed legged. "Trish." I glanced at her. "Stop blabbering and tell me what was going on just now." I waggled my eyebrows as she blushed.

"Oh Ally" She gushed as she sat beside me on the bed. "I'm just so excited. Tomorrow is our one year anniversary. I wonder what he's going to do, after classes!"

"Something special for you, of course" I nodded my head in agreement, as she stroked her hand over the silky flower print of my light blue dress. "I wish I had someone special" I groaned laying back on the bed and sticking my legs in the air.

"Well-" Trish started, as I quickly got up and slapped my hand over her mouth.

"Don't you dare say it" I narrowed my eyes, as she licked my palm.

"Ew!" I grimaced, wiping my hand on her jeans, "Did you just-"

"Lick you? Yeah I went there." She chuckled, "You and Austin, c'mon Ally."

"Um, no. I'm looking for a dreamy guy" I clasped my hands wishfully together and started pacing around the room as Trish giggled. "Cute, smart, sweeps me off my feet. Nothing like that asshole. It's a plus if his first name starts with Channing" I joked as Trish tickled my shoulder.

"We aren't in high school," Trish reminded me bringing back to reality. I slumped back on the bed.

"Yeah you're right. I just want a romance like you and Dez. You feel?" I gestured to myself as she laughed.

"Oh Ally" she glanced at me "I'm 100 percent positive you will."

AUSTIN P.O.V

"So what's the plan for tomorrow?" I tossed a water-bottle to Dez as he caught it with one hand, the T.V. remote in the other.

"Nothing" Dez shrugged. "Classes and chill" He glanced at me as I chuckled.

"You sure were doing a lot of 'chilling' back in Trish's dorm" I chortled as he glanced at me blankly.

"Austin, you gotta find yourself a girl, and lay off me." Dez shrugged, flipping the channel to the extreme sports show he liked to watch.

My mind floated to Ally. No particular reason. Darn that girl was annoying. And I had to go back to class with her tomorrow. I thought of the blue dress she was wearing today, with white printed flowers. It was pretty. The dress, I mean.

"Austin" Dez's voice called out, faintly. "I forgot to tell you- Trish's showers aren't working. Her and Ally are coming tomorrow morning..."

"Yeah, yeah!" I shouted back as I headed to my room. It was already 9:30 PM. For some reason. I found myself tired as heck. Man, I was ready to crash into bed.

BEEP BEEP BEEP

Ugh. I glanced at the clock. What time was it?

7:30, the bright red numbers glared back at me. I needed a shower. I must've just fell into bed, I thought to myself.

I raised out of my bed. I heard Trish's booming voice from the kitchen. Must be here to visit Dez, I thought as I wrapped a towel around my waist.

I walked into the bathroom absentmindedly. I tucked my towel around the waist, and started to open the shower curtain when-

"AUSTIN!" Ally's high pitched shriek came from the shower as I stumbled back quickly covering my eyes, and trying to erase the image I had just seen. It was quite difficult. All that was replaying in my mind was Ally's flawless figure, and smooth skin...

"Ally, what the hell? What are you doing?!" I covered my eyes as I heard her frantically thrash around and scramble for a towel. Dez and Trish came running in, as Trish raised her eyebrows at the both of us.

"DEZ?!" I looked at him.

"Austin. I told you yesterday, that Ally and Trish's shower is broken, and that they were going to use ours, which you would've heard if you weren't half asleep!" Dez shouted at me as I rubbed my eyes.

"Well, carrying Ally's luggage was hard!" I mumbled in defense as Ally crossed her arms.

"And who asked you to carry my luggage?" She looked at me as I my mind went slack.

"That's right. Now out! All of you!" She pushed Dez and Trish out the door, as I caught her staring at my chest.

"Guess we're both an eye for eye" I whispered as she pushed me away. "Get out!" She slammed the door.

ALLY P.O.V

I was just trying to have a peaceful shower. Then what does that jackass come and do? He has to ruin a peaceful start to my morning, I thought to myself, as I pulled on a light white blouse and skinny black ripped jeans. I quickly brushed my hair.

POUND POUND POUND

"Ally? What's taking you so longgg?" Austin exaggerated as I rolled my eyes.

I opened the door. "Well let's see. If you had listened to Dez and never opened the door in the first place, I would've been out a half-hour ago. But now, I'm just staying in here for kicks." I closed the door as Austin quickly wedged his foot in between.

"You take forever" He whined.

"Suck it." I stuck my tongue out at him quickly whirring the door closed. I heard his repeated pounding, as I just threw my hair in a bun and gave up on makeup, applying just a touch of foundation.

I burst through the door. "You happy?" I raised my eyebrows at him as he raced in the bathroom.

I rolled my eyes walking into the kitchen. Trish and Dez were laughing over something, pausing to smile at me as I walked in.

Trish looked especially cute today. She was wearing a silky long sleeved purple dress, and cute brown boots.

"So, Dez. Is there anything special planned today?" Trish slid into his lap, as I shot her a quick wink. Smooth.

"Nothing that I know of" Dez kissed her cheek, as he got up to make another pot of coffee. Trish frowned. I slid into the empty seat next to her.

"Don't worry" I whispered "It's probably the element of surprise. They know chicks like us dig that kind of stuff" I chuckled as Trish giggled and gave my hand a quick squeeze.

Austin emerged from the bathroom. "I have arrived" He took a dramatic bow as Trish and Dez chuckled while I groaned and threw a wadded up napkin at him, hitting him square in the face.

"Come on Ally cat" He slid into Trish's seat as she got up to go talk to Dez in the kitchen. "I know you liked what you saw."

"As if" I rolled my eyes hoping he couldn't see me blush. "You're a pain in the ass."

"Like you aren't?" He rolled his eyes as I glared at him.

"Alright" Dez emerged from the kitchen with Trish in tow. "Austin I'm gonna head out. You comin?"

Austin stood up. "See you in class sweet pea" he winked as I groaned. Dez gave Trish a quick kiss as we all headed out of their dorm room. "Bye babe!"

Trish turned to me and frowned. "He acted like he didn't even know what was going on." She looked at me, "This was the dress I wore when we first met, while I was touring campus, on this day, with my parents. You don't think he forgot do you?"

I gave Trish a quick hug. "Trish, he's Dez. I'm sure he's got something special planned." I winked as I nudged her. "Let's go" I smiled as she smiled back.

AUSTIN P.O.V

"See ya man" I waved to Dez as I headed into class. Ally was already there tapping her pen against her gold polka dotted spiral notebook. Smart Ass.

"Asshole." As if reading my mind, she greeted me as I slid in my seat.

"Love you too sweet pea" I shot her a saccharine sweet smile as she returned it.

Class went by quickly. We received our assignments, and I got up to pack my stuff.

"Austin" Ally suddenly tapped my shoulder, looking nervous and actually, a tad cute. "Do you know if Dez has any special plans tonight?"

I burrowed my eyebrows. "Special plans? Not that I know of sweetpea" I leaned in close to her. As she grimaced.

"Try not to think about my abs too much" I whispered lowly behind her, as she froze shaking her head. I laughed to myself. Man, was pissing off that girl fun.

I headed to my next class for the day, journalism. After finishing up some rough edits, I headed back to the dorm to finish up the rest of the load. Then I surfed the web, as I lay despondently in bed.

The door burst open. In emerged a distraught Dez. I took a look at him as he shook his head at me in disbelief, and quickly rushed out the door.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK

Ugh, I stretched my legs across the bed. Didn't Dez, just walk in here? "Dez you have your own key!"

The door suddenly jiggled opened, and in emerged a tired looking Ally.

"Ally? I might have to get you your own key" I joked, then paused as I met the weary look on her face.

"I can't believe I have to turn to you out of all people," she started, "But, I need your help."
