AUSTINS P.O.V

"What's up dude?!" Dallas greeted me as I sat down at our table for lunch. "What's good man?" I replied while knuckle-touching him.

"Are you ready for this week's game piece, Austin?" Elliot asked me. The 'Game' is basically just the guys picking out a girl for me to play. I usually don't like the girl's they pick, but it helps with my reputation.

"Bring it on", I confidently said while biting into my apple. Elliot was smirking at me from across the table.

"What?" I asked, and I'll admit, a bit scared. He stood up and leaned across the table so no one would hear him.

"Let's see if you can get Dorkson to open up to you, yeah moon?"

I almost choked on my apple on laughter. "Dorkson?!" I chuckled, "she hates my guts. She doesn't even like being close to me! That's not fair dude."

"Oh C'mon man!", Trent put in, "it'll be hilarious! Tell you what, if you make her fall for you AND get her to kiss you, then I'll give you $100."

Wow, they must really want me to do this. If I can start acting nice to her, then maybe she will fall for me. I need to be really chivalrous though, if I want to pull this off. I can do that...

"Deal"

ALLYS P.O.V

"Let's go, chica! We have much to discuss!" My best and only friend, Trish, was such a drama queen.

"What is it now Trish?" I smiled as she was practically jumping from excitement. "Okay, okay. Are you ready? I don't think you're ready. Ally Daw-"

"Trish!" I interrupted, "just tell me!" I laughed. She grabbed my shoulders and shook me while saying, "Dez just asked me out!"

I chuckled, she's always had a crush on him. "Congratulations Trish! I know how much you like him," I winked at her.

She blushed and played with her fingernails; something she always does when she's nervous or excited. "Let's celebrate by feeding my starving stomach, yeah?" I asked.

She nodded, "Oh, right! Sorry!"

We took our usual spots at a table near the lockers. That way, when lunch is over, we won't be smashed in the hallways. "So Ally, are-"

I looked up from my sandwich I was eating. "Something wrong Trish?"

She was staring wide-eyed over my shoulder. I looked behind me and froze. Austin was coming this way. Probably to dump more of his lunch on me.

"Run, chica! Let's go!" Trish ran towards the girl's bathroom. I was close behind, and was about to go in, but a hand caught my wrist.

"Hi Do- Ally" I looked up at Austin, shocked. He's never called me by my first name. Ever. It was always Dorkson, which I'm sure that's what he was about to say.

"What do you want Austin?" I asked through clenched teeth.

Trish then appeared from the bathroom. "Moon, lay off Ally!"

"I just need to ask her something Tiny."

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME? I SWEAR ILL MAKE YOU SORRY IF YOU SAY THAT AGAIN. ILL GO TO YOUR MOTHERS HOUSE, AND-"

"TRISH!" I once again interrupted. I turned back to Austin again. "Seriously, what?!" I asked. He scratched the back of his neck and looked at his shoes.

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out after school on Friday?" He said, finally looking at me.

"Are you serious? Is this another prank? Let me guess, your little posse will be there waiting to throw water balloons at me?"

He shook his head, "No, I just want to hang out. What do you say?" I looked at Trish for help, but she just shrugged at me. He did seem sincere, but it could just be an act.

"I'll think about it."
