I am not going to bother making up a dumb and false excuse to my absence. I was lazy, I procrastinated, I had exams. Now for a quick heads up… I still have exams and so does my big brother so I can't update at all 'til like late Jul but I will see if I can squeeze in some fanfic writing.

So there you have it… also this chapter will be sooooo short compared to the others but I didn't have time. So yeah, yeah you can hate me and all that but I try I really do. I also have to sort everyone's problems because I am apparently "the friend who listens and gets stuff done".
BTW: does anyone watch Gravity Falls? I LOVE that show, Mabel is my soul sister and dipper is too adorable to describe.
Chapter 4: It always starts small…
Things had significantly calmed down since the Cassidy incidence, however they continued to glare at me and bump me in the corridors. The worst thing was they starting picking on Hope, Hope doesn't like fights so she just took it and pretended like nothing was wrong, however Hope reads like a book so it was painstakingly obvious and honestly hard to watch. They didn't mess with me much since I was always with Austin, Trish and Dez. Callum and Hope had start hanging out more on their own, mental note to tease her about that later.
"Ally?" Trish said waving her hand in front of my face.
"Huh?" I said.
"You were miles away. Again. Weren't you listening we are planning a horror movie night tonight, you in?" Austin said to me.
"Sorry. I don't like horror movies." I stated, shaking my head, moving my hands in a way to convey my words.
"What do you mean you don't like horror films?" Dez asked, eyebrow raised. "Are you scared?"
"Alls it's fine if you are I'll- I mean we'll protect you." Austin said, blushing at his slipup and scratching the back of his neck.
"No. I just find horror films boring to be honest." I said with a slight blush at Austin.
"So, you'll come?" Trish pleaded. "please come, otherwise I'm the only girl."
I looked at each of them before nodded and agreeing to come along, just then I squinted at a sight behind Trish it was Kira, Brooke and Cassidy surrounding Hope and they seemed to be talking to her and suddenly they walked off but Cassidy remained and further whispered something in Hope's ear. Hope's eyes widened and she seemed to engage in a conversation with Cassidy I snuck closely to hear the remainder of the conversation.
"Cass, come on. What will that even accomplish?" Hope stated exasperatedly
"You really think she still needs you? She has new friends… you're not even needed. She'll do whatever now and you'll be left on the side-lines." Cassidy shrugged.
"Well that's false, it won't happen." Hope smiled and nodded.
"Convincing me or yourself, girl?" Cassidy said while walking off with a smirk.
"No, she's lying… she's doing this on purpose. That's right, she is now with them." Hope muttered under her breath.
I decided this was the best time to enter the conversation.
"Hey. Hope" I greeted her.
"Hey Ally!" Hope beamed.
"Listen come sit with us." I said gesturing for her to follow.
"Ally, you've got a full table," she pointed to the table I came from with only one available seat, my seat, "I got things to do anyway. Don't worry, oh by the way you got plans tonight?"
"Oh I'm so sorry Hope. I made plans with the others. Another time, okay?" I said.
"That's what you said last time." Hope muttered.
"What was that?" I asked not quite catching all that she said.
"Nothing, don't worry, and Ally?" Hope said as I walked off.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"You remember what's happening this Saturday night?" she asked me.
"yeah the thing, the important thing…" I said passing it off as nothing.
"I'll be at your place at seven. Wear all black." She said as she walked in the opposite direction.
I quickly racked my brain, where were we going that we needed to wear all black clothing… I'll the gang, they'll know.
"Hey guys? I need some help." I said while I sat down.
"What?" they all asked in unison.
"What could be happening this Saturday night that would require the people going to wear all black?" I asked.
"Ummm… wait I've got it!" Trish exclaimed.
"Where?" I said.
"A concert!" Trish explained.
"But we don't have. Oh No…" I said standing once again.
"Ally what's wrong?" Austin said.
"What date is this Saturday?"
"May 15th why?"
"It's Hope's Birthday I promised that since 'Fall Out Boy' is playing on her birthday that we would go see them in concert. I haven't bought the tickets. I bet all the good seats are taken." I said.
"Don't worry Ally I bet we can get you front row tickets for the concert." Austin said.
"Thank you. Thank you. Thankyou!" I yelled throwing my arms around his neck in a tight hug.
"Don't worry Ally we will all go to that concert together." Austin said returning the hug with his arms around my waist.
I smiled, this is friendship I thought. But wait Hope never did anything like this for you when you needed the help did she? No she didn't… does this mean that Hope wasn't as good of a friend as I thought. I looked in Austin's eyes and said something I knew I would regret later but couldn't care less.
"How about we go, just us, instead of the horror movie night?" I said.
"Are you Ally?" Trish asked.
"Yeah, Hope won't remember anyway…" I said.
Is that true or are you just convincing yourself that you aren't blowing off your best friend like sister on her birthday my conscience said in the back of my mind.
Come on I think I know Hope like I know myself. Back to front.
There we go!
