A short chapter about the weeks before the start of school enjoy (:

I don't own Austin&Ally

Chapter Eighteen: Countdown to Senior Year

Ally sat cross legged on the floor of her bedroom her class schedule lay in front of her. Austin was sprawled on her bed, whether he was asleep or not she didn't know, his schedule lay beside hers. They were so different, all seven of her classes were AP while his were a mix of college prep, AP, and elective classes. She was happy that they had AP Music Theory together but sad that they couldn't have more than that one class together.

"You know staring at it won't change it." Austin said suddenly.

"I know." She sighed. "Its just going to be hard, I don't do well with change."

"You'll do fine." Austin said patting the top of her head. "Its just high school."

She got up from the floor and gently pushed Austin so that there was room for her on the bed. He took her hand in his and with a gentle squeeze he assured her that he'd be there for her even if they weren't in the same classes. Micah came in a few minutes later asking them if they'd join the rest of the family in a game of Catchphrases. With a smile they followed the nine year old down to the living room.

"You two can not be a team." Scarlett said when they sat down on the love seat. "Last time we played this you guys totally dominated the game, its like you can read each others minds."

"Fine I'm playing with Micah." Austin said moving to sit with the younger boy.

"I call Erik." Ally said.

"That leaves me and mom." Scarlett said as everybody shifted around to sit next to their teammate. "Well this is certainly different, let the chaos begin."


If he thought clothes shopping was horrible he had been sadly mistaken, school supplies shopping with Ally was incredibly dull and full of heavy materials. When he bought school supplies he never cared about what the paper felt like or how bold the lines looked, he merely grabbed a couple notebooks and some pencils. With Ally she inspected every notebook for the right kind of paper, searched for her favorite kind of pencils and pens, grabbed metal rulers, decided what kind of graph paper to buy, debated on which calculator was better, and hunted down the sturdiest looking binders.

"Do we really need all of this stuff?" He asked as she grabbed a couple of folders and dividers.

"Yes." Ally said.

"Usually I go through the school year with two five subject notebooks, two pens, and a couple of pencils." Austin said with a smile.

"Where does that get you?" Ally asked getting all up in her boyfriend's face.

"A spot in the top one hundred." Austin shrugged tapping her nose.

"What have I told you about tapping my nose?" Ally asked.

"To not to." Austin said wrapping his arms around her waist and lifting her up so that they were the the same height. She wrapped her arms around his neck and when he kissed her she didn't care that they were in the middle of Target's school supplies section.

"That's right so don't do it again." Ally said when he set her down. "Come on we have to get you a calculator, it's essential for calculus."

Austin groaned but followed her back to the aisle where the graphing calculators were.


"What do you mean you haven't started your summer homework?" Ally yelled at a very hungover Austin. "School starts next week!"

"Stop yelling." Austin groaned pulling the covers up over his head as if that were to help his hangover.

"How are you going to read four books, write an essay, and come up with detailed notes before next Wednesday?" Ally asked yanking the covers off.

"I've already read the books and the other stuff will get done before my English class on Wednesday." Austin mumbled. "Now can I go back to sleep?"

"Nope, you're going to start on your homework right now." Ally said taking one of his hands and making the attempt to pull him up. He merely pulled her down onto the bed and wrapped his arms around her tightly. "No more procrastinating."

"Lets just take a nice long nap." Austin said quietly.

He was asleep in seconds, his tight hold on her never slacking. She knew there was no waking him especially once he started snoring so she didn't try. In a matter of minutes she fell asleep to the steady rise and fall of his chest and his rhythmic breathing.


"Did I ever tell you that I plan on getting a tattoo?" Austin said speaking for the first time since Ally sentenced him to his desk. Ally looked up from the book she was reading and arched her eyebrows at him. With a playful wiggle of his eyebrows he said, "Several actually but there'd be only one girl who'd get to know the location of them all."

"Get back to work." Ally said bringing her book up to her face to hide her heavy blush. He chuckled and turned around to resume his homework. "For your comment you're taking Kelsey, Scarlett, and me shopping for school clothes."

"I should have kept my mouth shut." Austin mumbled. "Why do you girls need so much clothes?"

"Last time I checked you had more clothes than I did." Ally said rolling onto her back.

"Well I have to keep buying new clothes because someone borrows mine and doesn't return it." Austin said getting up off of the chair and walking over to the bed.

"There is no way you're going to get back to doing your homework now are you?" Ally said looking up into his eyes.

"Nope, you're too much of a distraction." Austin said bringing his lips down onto hers in a sloppy hungry kiss. She forgot about her book and he forgot about his homework all that matter to them was each other.


Austin managed to finish his homework before they were to go shopping for school clothes, he was surprised to because Ally was the biggest distraction in the world. She didn't say much but her very presence distracted him. All he wanted to do was toss aside his homework and spend the day doing whatever random things their minds came up with, have a couple of intense make-out sessions, and go on real dates with her.

The girls modeled just about everything in the store and he was beginning to think he'd never get out of Forever 21. He sat there with a scowl on his face thinking that they should make a store for adults and call it Finally 22, he laughed to himself at his thought. When they announced that they were ready to go he groaned at the sight of the amount of bags they were carrying.

"Seriously I'm only one guy, I can't carry all of that." Austin groaned.

"Well then take it back to the jeep because there is a lot more stores we have to go to." Kelsey said a sly smirk on her face. She turned to Ally and Scarlett and asked, "How about we all head into Victoria's Secret when Austin gets back."

"No way I'm going in there." Austin said his cheeks tinting pink. As he walked away he mumbled, "I'm going to buy some jeans, maybe I'll even buy a pair without holes."
