ALLYS P.O.V

"What do I do, Trish?" I asked my best friend, who was getting her stuff out of her locker for her next class. She closed her locker and out he hands on her hips.

"It's a no-brainer! This guy made you miserable for as long as I can remember! Why would he change out of the blue?" She legit looked like she wanted to slap me. I stepped back a foot or two.

"Okay, calm down. I'll say no then," I smiled, feeling more confident.

"Say no to what?" The voice behind me asked. I jumped and turned around. Austin stood there with a huge grin on his face.

"Are you saying no to hanging out with me?" He seemed so upset. He pouted his lip, and I tried so hard not to laugh. I played with the hem of my shirt, getting ready to tell him no. I've never felt so bad to do something before.

"Listen Moon! Ally doesn't want to hang out with you! What are you planning, huh? Make her life suck? Oh wait, YOU ALREADY DO!" Trish yelled at him.

He put on a guilty look and scratched the back of his neck.

"Ally, I'm sorry about everything I've done to you before. But I've changed! I promise, just hang out with me this one time. Please?"

I bit the inside of my cheek and sighed. I looked up at him and hesitantly nodded. His eyes lit up and he wrapped me in a bear hug.

"Thank you Ally! You won't regret it!" Then, he ran off.

Trish grabbed my shoulders, and shook them while screaming, "What are you doing?! He's probably going to jump you! Or throw rotten food at you! Or other disgusting things!"

I managed to escape her grasp. I put my hands out to stop her from grabbing me and shaking me again.

"I'm sorry! I couldn't do it! I've never said 'no' to anyone before, and I felt bad!" I exclaimed and ran a hand through my hair.

Trish threw her hands up in the air and said, "Well, you can't blame me if this is just another trick. I tried to stop you."

"I know, I know," I put my hand on my forehead, "hopefully it'll be over soon, and then I could move on with my life. Sound like a plan?"

She sighed and nodded, "I guess. I mean, you can't back down now."

AUSTINS P.O.V

It was lunch. I grabbed my lunch tray and sat down with my friends.

"Yo Austin! How did it go?" Elliot asked me. I took a bite of my burger with a smirk on my face. He and Trent were so going to lose this bet.

"It went great, actually. She agreed to hang with me today today after school. So Ha!"

"No way Dude! She's so dumb! Maybe she's not as smart as we thought she was!" Trent laughed, nudging Elliot in the shoulder.

I finished my burger and got up.

"Woah! Where are you going, man?!" Dallas asked me. I rolled my eyes, he really doesn't understand how this works.

"Well, I obviously have to gain her trust first! I can't just show up and except her to fall for me. I have to be near her now"

The boys shrugged and nodded their approval.

"Nice move there, man. I didn't think of that," Elliot said surprised. Which I don't get because it was an obvious plan.

"Of course you didn't. It's because you're a dumbass!" Dallas laughed. Everyone let out a small chuckle while Elliot said,"Shut up!"

I shook my head, grinning. I quickly fixed my hair and walked over to Ally and Trish's table. I made sure to sit extra close to Ally.

"What's up ladies?" I asked, resting my arms on the table and clasping my hands together. I looked at both of them, noticing none were replying.

"well, I'm good! Thanks for asking," I sarcastically said. I saw Ally break into a small grin. I smiled, she looked cute when she did that. Wait what? I shook my head from those thoughts and decided to talk about tomorrow.

"So Ally, I was thinking the park right after school?" I put on my best charming smile.

She barley nodded. I frowned.

"What's a pretty thing like you doing so sad?" I grinned at her. Her cheeks turned red and she looked down at her feet.

"Moon. If you hurt my best friend, I. WILL. END. YOU." Trish said, glaring at me from across the table. She was probably strangling me in her mind.

"I would never," I said just as the bell rang. I got up and offered to carry Ally's backpack and books. She agreed, and I walked her to her class. I think I'm off to a great start so far...
