I don't own Austin and Ally.

Chapter 7, Austin's POV:

I read the e-mail from Cassidy, getting more and more excited with every word I read. She's coming back in just 2 weeks! I can finally have that date with her! Where am I going to take her? What am I going to say when I see her?

"YES!" I suddenly burst out.

My mom comes running in, "What just happened? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine mom, just happy. Cassidy is coming back!" I say.

"Oh, good…Who's Cassidy?"

"She's that girl I had a huge crush on that went on tour with her band! She promised me a date when she came back, remember?"

"Oh I remember now! I thought you liked your friend Ally now though?"

What? "Uh…No mom, Ally and I are just friends. I like Cassidy…" I say feeling unsure.

She gives me a suspicious look. "Ok…"

What if my mom is right? What if I am starting to like Ally? I can't let that happen. If she doesn't feel the same way, then things would be awkward, and it could ruin our partnership! What about Cassidy? Suddenly I'm not so excited about her coming back.

I'm going to have to fight whatever this is, for the sake of our friendship.

I'm lying in bed hugging Dougie, but I can't fall asleep. I'm imagining all of the different horrible things that could happen when Cassidy comes back in 2 weeks. I grab my ipod, put in my earphones, and turn the music up loud. Maybe I can blast these thoughts out of my head…

I wake up in the morning with my headphones still on and my ipod dead. I fell asleep with the music on? That's a first. I jump out of bed, get a quick shower, and put on a pair a basketball shorts and a v-neck shirt. I run downstairs, eat breakfast quickly, grab my back pack, and run outside. My mom is waiting in the car. I get inside and my mom starts driving. There's an awkward silence.

"So…" my mom starts, "Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah, I guess so," I say.

"Ok…"

We're at the drop off of the school now. I'm about to get out when my mom grabs my arm,

"Have a good day, honey," she says.

"Ok mom," I say as I pull away and get out of the car.

My buddy Dez is there waiting for me.

"C'mon Austin, today we're dissecting a frog in Biology!" He says enthusiastically.

"Awesome!" I say as we move toward room 305.

Dez and I are lab partners in Biology, and so are Ally and Trish.

I walk into room 305 and see Ally. She's wearing light orange skinny jeans and a light blue top.

"Hey Ally, are you looking forward to dissecting today?" I ask.

"Not at ALL," she says, looking disgusted.

"What about you, Trish?"

"Ew! Of course not!" Trish says.

I chuckle, "You guys are such girls."

"I would expect, since we're girls," Ally says.

The teacher suddenly claps loudly for everyone to be quiet,

"Today we're going to be dissecting a frog. You must follow my instructions carefully. That means no goofing off and talking to your friends," the teacher says.

She goes around the room handing out dead frogs in plastic bags. When she begins calling out the instructions, Dez starts to cut the frog open. I accidentally let out a high pitched squeak. This is disgusting! Trish starts laughing under her breath and says quietly to me,

"Who's the "girl" now?"

Ally speaks up, "Yeah Austin, I thought you were looking forward to this..?"

"I was, but I didn't realize how…gross it would be," I say.

This situation sure got flipped. I was looking forward to this, and Ally was freaked out. Watching Ally now I see that she totally knows what she's doing, and she even seems to be enjoying it! Meanwhile I'm just trying not to puke all over the table. I raise my hand,

"Yes Austin?" The teacher calls out.

"May I have a bathroom pass?" I ask.

She nods as I walk over and take it. I run to the bathroom quickly and look at myself in the mirror.

"Relax Austin, relax. It's just a frog. Be a man," I say to myself. I splash my face with some water and go back to the classroom. I think I can do this now. I'll just have Dez do the gross stuff. He enjoys it anyway.

After what seemed like hours, the bell finally rings and I get out of there.

Ally stops me in the hallway,

"You seemed pretty freaked out in there. You ok?" she says.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I almost forgot to tell you! Cassidy is coming back in 2 weeks!"

"That's awesome! Where are you going to take her on that first date?"

"I'm not sure yet. We'll probably just go bowling or see movie. Whatever she wants to do I guess."

"Sounds fun. I'll see you 3rd period, I got to get to class." Ally says as she smiles at me and walks away.

2nd period I have Study Hall, and 3rd period I have Economics with Ally. I'm supposed to do Algebra in Study Hall, but I can't seem to focus. I can't wait to see Ally next period…

The bell rings suddenly, and I scurry to put my books away. I didn't really get anything done. My mom is going to very upset with me...

Economics is right next to Study Hall, so I'm usually the first one there. I sit down in my usual spot and wait for Ally. Eventually a bunch of kids start to pour into the room, none of them being Ally. Where is she? She's never late to class. She doesn't come in until the bell is about to ring, officially starting class.

"Where were you?" I whisper to her as she slides into the seat next to me.

"I was changing. I have gym 2nd, hour, remember? There was a line in the bathroom, so it took a while to get into a stall," she says.

"Oh…"

Class begins, and the teacher begins talking about the differences between a "Free Market Economy" and a "Command Economy." I find economics to be very boring, so I start to tap my pencil repetitively on the table.

"Can you please stop that?" I hear Ally whisper to me.

"Sorry," I say as I put the pencil down.

I'm pretty A.D.D., so I'm always getting distracted. One second I'm thinking about how gross the food at the cafeteria is, the next second I'm thinking about aliens and UFO's. Suddenly I find myself staring at Ally. She's listening closely to what the teacher is saying (unlike me) so she doesn't seem to notice. Her eyes are so big and brown. I never really noticed how many different colors are mixed into there. It's…amazing. And how does she get her hair curled so beautifully? Oh, and the way it bounces when she walks!

What am I saying?

BRRRRRRRRRINGGGGGGGGGG!

The sound of the bell ringing nearly gives me a heart attack.

Ally notices me jump looks over at me, but doesn't say anything.

She seems to be deep in thought…

"Ally, it's time to go leave the classroom," I say.

"Wha-? Oh, sorry." She says as she gets up quickly and stuffs her book into her bag.

It's time for lunch, so Ally and I walk together to the cafeteria. Dez joins us,

"Hey Buddy!" Dez says as he does our "What-uppp!" hand shake with me.

"Where's Trish?" He says.

"She's probably walking with Trent," Ally says.

"Who's Trent?" Dez asks.

"Don't tell her I said this, but Trent is this new kid at school that she has a crush on. He's really cute." Ally says.

So Ally thinks he's cute too? I can't help it; it kind of annoys me.

"So she's not going to be eating lunch with us?" I ask.

"Probably not."

Well, at least I still got Ally and Dez...

I suddenly hear a familiar voice from behind me,

"Hey Ally!"

…Dallas…

DUN DUN DUNNNN! I'm sorry, I just had to end it like that. Hehe ; ) Please review and follow! I'll update soon!
