AN: The fourth chapter!. But I hope it's good enough for you guys! (I am really liking your reviews by the way!). Ally's going to be bullied a lot in this chapter and also getting surprised by somebody she really hates! So have fun with this chapter and I really hope you like it! And yes, I am not from an English speaking country - so English is like my third language (after Indonesian, and Javanese)

Something Ally Dawson knew from a long time about Trish De La Rosa, was that she had a really big mouth.

Mind you, she still has a big mouth. She likes to call people with names that they wouldn't like, expressing what she felt about somebody else without even thinking about their feelings, say really rude words sometimes and swears (it was so amazing that those swears slipped out of her tongue like it was fine) a lot. And the most one she hated about her big mouth: she can never keep a secret between herself and the person.

So when Ally stepped inside the school the other day, it was actually no surprise that every kid in the hall were looking at her in hate (really hateful glance from the girls and cheers). She knew that Trish had probably spilled her secret between the others. Ally looked down at her feet, walking cautiously but fast, trying to get to her locker.

Which was in the populars' section.

Hooray.

It wasn't really her fault or her choice to own the locker in those section. Ally was sick at the first week of school, and didn't get to pick her own locker, so the teachers pick hers. And being a busy person, they probably had just you know, pick the first one they see is empty, and unfortunately it was in the populars' section. Filled with miniskirts and tanktops cheerleaders, sweats from the jocks, and giggles from the gossip-girls – it was actually no fun there.

Ally Dawson can feel the threatful glare from some of the cheerleaders, and the really threatful ones from 3 most popular cheerleaders, models, and winners of beauty pageant for 6 years in a row: Kira, Brooke and Cassidy.

"Hey, can you guys hang somewhere else? I need to get into my locker," Ally mumbled quietly, already red at her cheeks. They wouldn't budge from her locker, blocking it, and sending a glare to Ally.

"So you think because you had seen and talked to Austin Moon for once made you the boss?" Brooke scoffed, and flicked her hair to the back. Brooke was the number 1 fangirl of Austin Moon at school, she idolize him more than anybody. Ally looked at her, eyes widened.

"Yeah, that doesn't mean if you've seen and talked to him, you're already popular or something, coz … hello … who's talking here?" Kira responded hotly. "Geek."

"Yeah, we're much prettier than you!" Cassidy continued again. Ally's eyed widened again at this, because she was talking like they were in kindergarten or something? Ally didn't even know why they made her enemy like this.

"Okaay… I was just wanting to get into my locker, sorry," Ally said again. No movement. "Kira, Brooke, Cassidy, please."

"What's gotten into you, dork?" Cassidy asked, wincing. And Ally couldn't help but wince herself. Usually she was stammering with them, but today … noo.. "Oh, so you built up your confidence after talking to Austin Moon! That's right, huh? Well… we'll see about that," Cassidy smirked.

But still no movement.

"Guys, cut it out."

Ally turned around so her back was to the three other girls, and blush when she saw a brunette jock standing in front of her. "Hey, Dallas, you don't have to do that-" Ally started dreamily, staring into his face. Ally had a crush on Dallas ever since the first day she was at school.

"Sure … uh.."

"It's Ally," Ally replied.

"Hey, baby," Cassidy swooned over Dallas, gripping his arm with both her hands, and tippytoed to kiss him. Ally frowned a bit at her act, because she knew Cassidy was trying to get her jealous. And what doesn't she like about that? She was jealous. Dallas smiled at Cassidy, and turned back to Kira and Brooke. Dallas raised his eyebrows at Cassidy, signaling both of the other girls to move. Cassidy sighed. "Okay, but I want another kiss from my little Texas." Cassidy pouted, trying to be cute. Dallas smiled, and gave her another kiss. "Girls, come on," Cassidy said, waving her hand. Kira and Brooke smiled at Dallas, unseen by Cassidy, and followed the girl.

"Thanks," Ally replied again shortly, trying to hide her blush. She was standing and talking to Dallas!

"You okay?" Dallas asked, his brows furrowing worriedly. He looked cute when he blush.

"I mean, yes, wait, no, - whattt – do you want me to be okay? Should I?" Ally stammered quickly. Then she faked-laugh. "Of course I'm okay."

"Righhhttt," Dallas said awkwardly. He gave her a quick wave and went.

Ally sighed dreamily, watching Dallas went over to his own locker not so far from hers. Okay, so maybe there was something good about having a locker there – Dallas was in that section too!

"Did I just see you talking to Dallas?"

Ally turned, surprised. "Trish!" Ally cried loudly, putting a hand on her chest. "You scared me. Like to death." Then Ally's face turned graveyard. "Like what I'm going to do with you right now. Why did you tell everybody that I got a call from Austin Moon?"

"Hey! It wasn't my fault!" Trish said. "I was trying to make conversation, and it just spill out from my mouth like that." Ally frowned, and Trish pouted too. "Sorry. Forgive me? Pretty please with cherry on topp…"

"Okay," Ally answered, giving her best friend a hug."You may have the biggest mouth I know, but you're still the best."

"Awww. Thanks, pal," Trish grinned. "So what was that talking to Dallas thing?"

"Oh, you know, he was helping ME to get to MY locker, which was BLOCKED by his girlfriend, Kira and Brooke, and I said thank you to HIM and he smiled at ME and he even gave ME a WAVE." Ally replied, saying loudly with some of the words. Ally blushed, and grinned. "I can't believe it. I think we're friends now."

"Ally, Ally, Ally," Trish patted her shoulder, and guided the brunette to their class. "You know, it doesn't mean that they had talk to you they instantly become your friends."

"But you become my friend, my best friend after I talk to you about where's the library remember?" Ally reminded her best friend. "And it so just happens you were on your way there for your new job that starts 1 hour ago. Sooo…"

"Oh, that's different!" Trish yelped excitedly. "I got fired the next day." And then she went away to the her class.

Ally nodded her head in agreement, and sat down on one of the seats in front of her class, head already buried deep under her books.

It was the first period when Mrs. Green called for Ally's name suddenly with the loudspeaker. Mrs. Green was one of the secretary Ally had befriended with on her first day at school. Ally looked down again, confused.

"Mr. Boles, can I go?" Ally stood up and raised her hand.

"Sure, darling you can go. It seems like you finished your essay about Middle Age cavemens am I right?"

"And also the essay for The History of Paper, and the essay about January. And I'll finish the article about the festival tomorrow," Ally promised. Mr. Boles smiled and Ally smiled back as confident as she can. Around students she was nervous, but around teachers she was already like a daughter to them. "Thank you, Mr. Boles."

So Ally pushed the door and left.

"Hey, Mrs. Green!" Ally greeted the secretary, smiling almost shyly. "Nice weather isn't it?"

"Lovely, sweetie," Mrs. Green smiled at Ally. "You wanna try a cookie perhaps, darlin'? I made a batch just for you today. It was so lovely of you to give me that rose yesterday. You're such a darling, sweets." Mrs. Green said warmly.

"Well, a cookie would be nice, but I think I'll pass, Mrs. Green. Thanks for the offer anyway," Ally turned down the offer politely. "So why am I being called here? I think I finished my homework in time and I wasn't late for school…"

"No, honey, of course not!" Mrs. Green said, putting an arm around the brunette's petite body. "You finished your homework before time and you wre never late this year. It's just that I need you to do something for me."

"Of course I would, Mrs. Green! I'll do the best I can," Ally promised. "What is it?"

"Well, it's actually no big deal!" Mrs. Green laughed. "There's some new students here I would like you to meet and befriend with – since I know you're such a darling and you wouldn't do any harm to them at all – you. These students have to be treated so special."

"Poor them," Ally said truthfully, guessing that what she meant by that was that those students were sick or something like that.

"So when I decided to pick you to meet with them – they said yes really excited. They said that they would really like to meet you again.."

Must be some of the kids from the library I used to meet, Ally guessed in her brain and smiled at Mrs. Green.

"So it was actually not the wrong decision to pick you, didn't I?" Mrs. Green's face lit up again.

"I would like you to meet…" Mrs. Green opened the door of her office quietly. "Austin Moon and Dez."

Ally's scream didn't make the smirk from the blond and the excited childish smile from the redhead vanished.

"Hello, Ally-gator!" Austin grinned.

And before Ally can comprehend what he's doing, she felt his arms lifted her up in the air.

Hugging her, that's what he's doing!

"I cannot believe it, Ally!" Mrs. Green told Ally. "I never knew you were a big fan of Austin Moon. You're not like one of those girls I've seen before here, who practically chatted all about you," Mrs. Green turned to the blond. "You know, Moon, my daughter is a big fan of you – would you mind giving me an autograph for her?"

"Sure," Austin grinned.

This is not happening. No. This is not happening. This is just a dream, right?

"I'm not one of his fan!" Ally snapped. "Sorry, Mrs. Green, but I'm not."

"Yeah, Mrs. G. She's not," Dez said, and Austin elbowed him that Ally actually giggled. "She's his friend." A glare from Ally.

"You are?" Mrs. Green turned again to Ally. "Wow!"

"No, I'm not his friend!" Ally answered back hotly at Dez. "I've meet him accidentally because I never really know that he's going to come to me. And that was it. And sorry, but I have to turn down your offer, Mrs. Greeen…"

"No, no no, you're going to show him and his friend around, Ally Dawson," Mrs. Green smiled widely. "Now, I see he picked all the lessons you also picked," Ally's jaw dropped at this. "So you can introduced him and Mr. Dez today. Off you go, dear, run along. I have some other things I need to do. Pleasure meeting you, Mr. Moon, and Mr. Dez."

"Pleasure meeting such a wonderful woman too like you, Mrs. Green," Austin replied, kissing the woman on the cheek. Then he turned around, and gripped Ally's hand tightly. "Come on, we have some introducing to do!"

"What are you doing here?" Ally hissed as soon as the three of them were in the corridor. "Seriously, I already said 'no' to you, Moon. You seen how I kick you out of my store like that-"

"No, no, Ally!" Austin said. "I'm not going to ask you to be my partner anymore. I'm going to take a break from TV now for some time. I made up my mind not to ask you anymore because I'm not going to need it. And my manager said I have to get serious too with my education, and he said I can live at his house in Miami for some time, and he made me and Dez go to this school which luckily you're in it too! I want you to be my friend, that's all I'm asking."

Ally scoffed and glared at him.

"W-what?" Austin stammered nervously. "I'm telling the truth."

"There's gotta be a catch," Ally scoffed and snorted, like it was real funny. "Just so you know, I'm not buying any of it, Austin."

"It's true!" Austin whined. "Why won't you believe me?"

Ally stopped in the front of the door, and sighed. "I want you to go in right after me," Ally ordered. "I have some girls in this class who would scream when they saw you, and they probably wanting to see you and kiss you, so I insist you to pull up your hood," Ally pointed to Austin's hoodie. "And your hat, and glasses before revealing who you are in front of the class, okay?"

"Aye aye, boss!" Austin grinned.

"How about me?" Dez asked suddenly.

"Dude, nobody knows about you, so you don't need to do that," Austin replied reassuringly.

"Thanks, bro!"

Ally rolled her eyes, and opened the door slowly. She was nervous now, because it seems like the whole class were looking at her, and not Austin or Dez. "Mr. Boles," Ally stated. "We have 2 new students her.. here today in .. in your class."

"Fantastic!" Mr. Boles clapped his hands delightfully. "Would you like to introduce them, Ally?"

Ally nodded, and turned back to the whole eyes, and closed her eyes before announcing. "Class, I would like you to meet," Ally closed her eyes more tightly. "Your new friend, Dez," Dez waved his hand. "And …"

"Pleasure meeting you," Ally opened her eyes surprised to see Austin already pulling off his hood from his head and hat, and glasses.

"AUSTIN MOON IS IN MY CLASS!" Brooke was the first one who shrieked, followed by the other girls. Ally winced, mouthing 'sorry' apologetically to Mr. Boles, who seemed to be in shock too because his mouth was open.

"Well, Ally, is anybody sitting next to you on your table?" Mr. Boles asked. Ally shook her head disappointed.

"Let me sit next to her, Mr. Boles," Austin grinned, and Mr. Boles nodded straight away. "Dez can sit next to the brunette who shriek to me," Austin stated, pointing to Brooke. Brooke frowned, and let out a little scream when the redhead ran to give her a hug.

Austin plopped down next to Ally on the bench, and pulled her closer to her.

"Please don't do that," Ally whispered, already feeling the hateful glare from the other girls. "Everybody is jealous already, why do you do that?"

"I'm your FRIEND, remember?" Austin cried loudly, and Ally groaned when the girls mumbled swearings, which she knew was for her.

"Ah, lovely," Mr. Boles said dreamily (?). "Now, let's get back to…"

Ally thought that all the eyes were focused on her and Austin, not on the subject.

As soon as the first period ended, Ally rushed to her locker before Austin and Dez can catch up to her. She sighed in relief, because the section was still empty. Maybe if she's fast enough, she can take her books she needed for the second fast and go before the others come.

"Hey, Ally!"

Ally let out a scream when Austin suddenly appeared next to her. "Austin!" Ally hissed. "You have a locker … next to mine?" she asked in horror.

"Yes! I asked for one next to you!" Austin grinned. Austin turned around, and Ally can see the girls already lined up, looking lovingly at the blond. "Guys, guys, chill up. I need to have some time with my FRIEND."

"Don't say that!" Ally snapped in horror. She needed help from Trish, and much to her disappointment, Trish was also lined up with the other girls. Ally rolled her eyes. She might need to take back what she said about Trish being the best coz right now, she wasn't helping at all. "Look, you can just go with your friend away… I don't need you."

Ally stared at the blond, and couldn't help but notice the little hurt in his eyes. Ally shook her head, and waved. "You already have them to show you around. Gotta go!"

Ally sat down on one of the tables, alone. Trish had just sent her a message that she was on her shift at the library, and she also said that it was so boring there, and she'd rather be sitting next to Austin Moon then being there, and she was thinking to get fired from this job and get another one. She started to pick on her noodles, not really feeling the mood to eat the lunch, even though she knew that the noodles was one of the good lunch menu ever and the others were yuck yuck. She twirled her noodles on her forks absent-mindedly, suddenly thinking where on earth was Austin and Dez anyway. Although she felt like it was the right thing to do, she actually felt (teeny weeny) bad why did she left them both because it was supposed to be her job to show them around.

Ally turned to see the jocks' table, and was surprised that she can't see the certain blond and redhead she was supposed to be showing around. Maybe he was needed to sign autograph, Ally thought to herself.

And then suddenly there was a tray in front of her own, and looked up to see Austin sighing. And behind him was lots of girls – including Kira, Brooke and Cassidy (who seemed to forgot she has Dallas already). "Guys!" Austin turned around, almost annoyed. "Cut it out! I'm starving."

The girls shrieked, offering him their lunch. "Although I would love to, I'll pass," Austin said. "I want to eat lunch in peace. With Ally," seeing the glare from Ally, he added again, "and Dez."

The girls groaned, but went anyway. Still, even when they're gone o their tables, Ally can still feel all the stares were on her table. "You know, you don't have to do that," Ally started. Austin turned, confused. "You can eat lunch with them. I'm sure they would love to."

"But I want to eat with you – and Dez," Austin responded. Ally mused, there's gotta be a catch. But when Austin didn't say anything else after, Ally smiled to herself. "Where's Dez by the way?" Austin looked up after having his second spoon of noodles.

"He's over there," Ally answered quickly, pointing to a certain redhead who was walking to their table.

As Dez walked towards them, none of them said anything. There was an awkward silence hung in the air between them. Ally opened up her book, and started writing, figuring that since he wasn't saying anything, she might as well do her own business.

"What's that?" Austin asked curiously.

"It's nothing," Ally said forcefully, closing the book with a loud SNAP.

Austin smiled to himself – knowing that Ally's going to fall for his trap soon. She looked like she actually believed him, because she didn't tell him and Dez to leave from her table. Austin was curious at her too – she was smart, and pretty beautiful, but why was she alone eating her lunch? She looked nothing like the other geeks at school, too.

Austin shook his head. How can he forget? Ally was like a tiger. No wonder nobody (except that Latina girl) wants to be friends with her. But Austin will. And then her heart will actually melt, and she's gonna let him be her friend, or possible her best friend sometime soon, and if he's lucky enough, she'll let him take one of her song to show the public. He only had 12 days left before the boss fired him – and 12 days' not that many.

Austin was pulled back to the real world when he suddenly noticed Ally writing something. "What's that?" Austin blurted out.

"It's nothing," Ally replied instantly, closing the book loudly.

Austin reached for the book with his free hand, curious himself. His hand was going to grab it, when suddenly Ally slapped his hand. "Ouch! That hand cost more than your house!" he blurted out. There went his ego. "What was that for?"

"Don't. Touch. My. Book," Ally said flatly.

"Why? It's just a book," Austin shrugged. "What's the big deal anyway?"

"There's no big deal," Ally answered with fake-sweet voice. "It's just that it's my private book, and you know what that means. No touching."

"Righttt," Austin said. "So whatcha lookin' at?"

"What?" Ally asked, turning back to him.

"You're writing on your book about something, and you said it's private, so it meant that you're probably writing about your crush – who?"

"No one," Ally said quickly, blushing.

"It's not me, isn't it?" Ally gave him a you've got to be kidding me glare. "Okay, so no. Who?"

"I'm not going to tell you. You're not even my friend yet, so I think I'm not supposed to trust you with my secrets yet. I can't even keep secrets with Trish."

"Okay." He said shortly, craving for his noodles again.

"Hey, Austin!" somebody called for his name, and Austin turned to see Kira, Cassidy and Brooke standing on one of the empty table.

"Yeah, girls?"

"Can we ask you for a simple request? Can you sing one of your song for us?" asked Kira flirtily.

"Oh, sure, no probs," Austin responded casually, hopping off his chair to stand on the empty table. "This is actually not my song," Austin started excitedly, thinking about an idea how if he can sing Ally's song there, maybe Ally will be delighted and let him be her friend. "This is a song made by Ally Dawson – the brunette I sat with at lunch."

No, this is just a dream, Austin Moon did not just say that the song he was going to sing was her song… no. no no.

Ally looked down, embarrassed. She was sure that the girls were already envying her right now, and she didn't want to know what would happen tomorrow. But when Austin started to sing the song – her song – every worry was gone.

Austin started to sing the song, feeling it deeply. It was a new part of Austin – no ego, just him on stage, expressing his love for music. So maybe being superstar wasn't really all about Austin – maybe he did have a passion for music?

Austin was still singing, already on the chorus. Even without the music, the song was still good when he sang it. Ally smiled absentmindedly, loving the voice of his.

"Ally! Come here!" Austin yelled out to her, and no doubt Ally was surprised. He wanted her to be with him? What was going on?

But still, her mind was ordering her to go, and suddenly, she realised that she was already next to him on the empty table, watching him sing Postcard by heart. Austin grabbed her hand – which froze just like that – and ended the song. "That's Ally Dawson everybody!"

Everybody clapped. Everybody! Including Dallas! Ally smiled at Austin thankful, and Austin winked back.

"That was so beautiful, Austin!" Brooke cooed at Austin, grabbing him by the arm. "Did Ally really wrote that?"

"It couldn't be this Ally right?" Cassidy asked, snickering. "You sure? That song was so good, and Ally can't write songs."

"Of course she can!" Austin said calmly. "That was her song."

Ally on the other hand, wasn't listening. Dallas was coming towards her. Ally gasped a bit, freezing again on her spot. "That was your song, Dawson?" Dallas asked softly. "Wow, that was… wow."

"T-thank-thanks, Dallas," Ally stammered blushing.

"I didn't know you like music. I hope you can write more songs for us here," Dallas said again, smiling. "I really like you. I thought you were just into books."

"Music is my passion," Ally said proudly.

"Well, maybe we could … you know, talk again later? I need to get back to my friends over there," Dallas said almost shyly. "Bye." And before she could respond, Dallas grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand.

Ally froze again, red on the cheek.

Soon everybody was back to their own business again, (including the girls looking at Austin), and Ally turned back to Austin. "Austin. That was so cool." She said in amazement. "Where did you hear my song before?"

"When I asked for a new songwriter, and my manager told me about your song," Austin answered, rubbing his neck. "It was a good song – I'm not going to lie to you."

"You know…," Ally said thoughtfully. "You really like music don't you?"

"Of course," Austin answered proudly. "It's like my passion. I loved music, and I loved being the centre of attention. I wanted to be on stage since I was still little, and when I finally get to do it, because my passion – I was delighted and happy. Too bad that the songs I have wasn't that good though. Music is like everything to me – being on stage is just a bonus. A big bonus," Austin shrugged, and Ally can sense the love of music from his tone. Austin grinned at her.

"I thought being a superstar was all to you," Ally whispered softly. "But I'm wrong."

Suddenly her arms were wrapped around his shoulders, head laying on his shoulder too. Austin froze,grinning since he knew that Ally can't see his expression right now. It's working! Ally's actually growing soft on him! "A-Ally?" he faked a nervous tone.

"I know now about your passion for music," Ally said. "I thought I was wrong about that – but no. You're right. I'm going to let you, and Dez," Ally nodded softly to Dez, without budging from her spot. "To be my friend."

Austin laughed, and embraced her back excitedly.

Mission accomplished.

AN: My longest chapter so far! Word count was more than 4000 already, and that's many for me, since lots of my stories were 1000 long. I really liked the last bits – I was going to make it real, like Austin saying truthfully, and singing her song because he liked her – but then I remembered about his target, so then I put some bits in, but still, Austin wasn't kidding when he said music is his passion. I also liked the last part, when Ally hugged Austin, and how Austin pretended to fake that nervous tone. Also, I kept getting reviews about how horrible Austin was – and I wanted to tell you that was the point! Austin was a superstar that has big egos' but when he befriend with Ally, he started to lose some of them, because of Ally – and you know, following the plot,falling in love with Ally and stuff like that. I really hope you like this chapter – because this is my best so far!

Meanwhile I make the next chapter, you can keep supporting me with your lovely but critical reviews, or by following or favouriting (there are no such words as favouriting btw) my story! Gotta go!
