Hey there! It's me again! I know it's kinda early again but I just really want to know what you guys think about this story so...

As a reward for reviewing, here is the 5th chapter!

Enjoy! :D

Disclaimer: I Do Not Own Austin and Ally :(

Recap:

I couldn't listen to anything else he was going to say so I just got up and started walking away from him.

He was insane, there was no way in hell I will ever have a crush on Ally Dawson but if that was the case,

Why was I acting so defensive?

It was Day 2 of my "project" and I was at my locker alone getting my book for my next class. I was the only one in the hallway at this time because everyone was somewhere else thinking that crazy prediction that I have a crush on Ally, which I really don't. I don't think...nope I don't.

I was about to close my locker until I see someone being pushed outside a classroom to the hallway by a woman that was standing at her door. I looked a little closer to see who was the one that got pushed only to see that it was Ally. I didn't make sudden movements because I wanted to know who that lady was and why was she pushing her.

"I told you to mop up the West Wing's hallway. Not look at me and stand there." the lady said.

"I'm sorry, I was about to go but-" Ally started to say.

"No buts, just do what I said or you can forget about the money! Now go!" the lady that supposedly works here said to her.

Ally then looked at the lady sadly and looked like she wanted to cry but held back her tears she started pacing over to where I am which happened to be next to the janitor's closet where the mops were.

Why didn't she stick up for herself from that lady?! What money does she need?!

I tell you, no one is more of a mystery than this chick was.

I could see the lady glare at Ally one more time before she turns back around in her room and closes the door. I needed to see what was that all about so I stepped out from my little hiding corner and came in front of Ally as she was walking.

"Hey!"

"Austin! What are you doing here?" she asked timidly.

"Again, I go to school here." I said.

"You know what I mean!" she snapped.

Wow, I thought we got passed this whole let's snap at Austin thing.

"I just was at my locker until I overheard you and that lady, what was she talking about?" I asked curiously.

She tensed up a bit but then relaxed a little.

"Nothing, she was talking about nothing."

"Obviously she was talking about something. Are you okay?" I then asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." she said shakily.

I knew she was lying and I wasn't going to let her get away with it.

"Ally, you're like the worst liar I ever seen. Can you please just tell me what's wrong?" I asked nicely.

"I said I'm fine okay! Can you just leave me alone for a bit?!" she shouted.

And with that I stood there shocked at what just happened as she runs passed me into a little side room where the staircase for the second floor was at. I had no idea what I just did, but I know I didn't do anything for her to yell at me.

I turned myself back around and started chasing after her to find out what's wrong with her and why was she all snappy more than usual toward me.

I kept running to her until I got to the room where I see her crying with her head down in her lap sitting on the stairs.

See, thanks to Dallas I had to care about this girl! This wasn't how I wanted to spend my senior year.

I opened the door and walked inside and finally sat next to her and held out my hand on her hair patting it down over and over again, I didn't know how to handle crying girls simply because I never had to until she looks up at me confused and a little irratated.

"Are you petting me?" she then asked me.

I quickly felt embaressed that she had noticed I didn't really know what I was doing so I then tried the next thing I thought of and did something that my body told me to do before my mind told me.

I grab her and pull her into a side hug and to my surprised she didn't hesitate but instead she instantly hugged me back wrapping her little arms around me again scooting closer to me.

There's this tingly feeling again! This is starting to get on my nerves!

I tensed up a bit at how close she was to me but soon relaxed and hugged her tighter and put my head in her stringy messed up hair that just had to be always in a bun.

"It's going to be okay." I finally said softly.

"No it's not. You wouldn't understand." she muttered.

"Then why don't you let me understand?" I then asked.

She pulled back a little away from me and starred at through her eyes that would look hot on her if she ever did something to them so they could stand out.

She looked shocked that I actually wanted to know what was wrong with her but she wasn't the only one.

I was shocked myself...the things this bet is doing to me.

"Okay, I guess I could tell you but you have to promise me not to tell anyone." she said to me sternly.

"Agreed. So what's really wrong?" I asked her.

She sighed and started to explaining. "The plan for my family was that after I graduated here I could go to my dream music schooled called MUNY which stands for-" she started to say.

"I know what it stands for, it's a music school." I cut her off.

"Yeah, how did you know that?" she then asked.

I tensed up a bit because I didn't want to tell her my secret talent. If I didn't tell Dez or anyone else I was definitely not telling her.

"Lucky guess." I simply said nervously.

She gave me a confused glance but then continued talking.

"Okay so I was suppose to go there but it turns out that it's really expensive and my family is already poor as it is so there was no way I would be able to go because I barely have enough money as it is but then one day I read a sheet of paper that the school superintendent was looking for an assistant and she would pay money to whoever worked for her..." she started to say.

She then looked at me to make sure I was following where she was going with this as I answered her question nodding my head for her to continue.

"So I took the job thinking that I could raise the money up on my own to pay for my college scholarship but as you can see it's not like working at Sonic Boom where you can kinda be your own boss. She bosses, push, yells, and orders me around to do things that are sometimes impossible around the school but she never appreciates it. The only pay I get is $5 per job which isn't a lot but I don't have anything else to do in order to get the money so I just take it and I hate every minute of it." she explains weakly.

I was definitely feeling sorry for this girl now, her parents don't have enough money to pay for anything and now she has to work for some lady that doesn't care how she treats her while I'm the richest guy in this school getting offers from 10 different colleges and my parents are paying for all of it.

I hugged her tighter as she hugged be back feeling the feeling again, but this time I didn't hate so much as I normally did.

"I'm really sorry to hear that." was all I could say.

I couldn't say I understood what she was talking about because I've never experienced it. But she should't have to experienced it either.

"It's okay. I kinda feel a little bit better finally telling someone." she said.

I smiled and smirked as I pulled her away when the bell suddenly rang.

"Come on, we should get to class." I said. "You're in all my classes right?"

"Wow, after 13 years you finally noticed that." she said to me.

So it was true! Well, I guess I'll just have to pay more attention to people in class more than I do now.

We both giggled and stood up. I held out my hand so she would take it and after she grabbed it we walked out of the room to gym.

Okay, so maybe making her into a popular person would be super hard to do. I mean she's kinda boring.

While we were walking to class, I started to learn a lot more things about Ally Dawson and got to know her a little bit better. I thought the walk to the gym would never stop because she told me that her favorite food is pickles which was kinda normal but then she started talking about how fun cloud watching is and how she's in a club for it.

She also told me that she hated horror movies, she been to calligraphy camp, she's in a book club, she watches geese in a pond, she has a pet goose and a bird named Owen and Pickles, she chews her hair when she gets nervous, she can't dance, and a lot of other lame things she described.

Sure, she has some cool hobbies too but they weren't as much as the bad ones were but somehow she found them enjoyable.

Of course I told her everything about me...almost. I still haven't brought up my love for music and how I'm a singer but she didn't need to know that.

We finally got to the gym where I could see people smiling and offering me high fives as me and Ally entered the room while she groaned.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"This class, I hate gym I always get picked last or made fun of and the worst part is there's no escaping it." she said.

I chuckled silently to myself at how ridiculous she being so self- conscience of herself.

"Don't worry, stick with me and you'll be fine." I assured her.

"I hope you're right." she said.

We walk to the bleachers as Dallas, Dez, and Trish comes and sits next to us since they were in the same gym class as we were.

"Hey guys!" Trish said to me and Ally.

"Hey!" Ally said to hugging her as Trish sits down.

"Oh Austin I almost forgot to tell you I can't watch Abby tomorrow because I have a new job I'm going to be starting." Trish said.

I sighed. My parents aren't going to be home I don't assume so that means she all for me.

"Who's Abby?" Ally asked me.

"She's his little sister." Dallas said sitting next to me.

"Yeah, she is the sweetest thing ever but if you give anything sugary she'll go crazy." Dez said. I laughed.

"Aww, I love kids...I can watch her if you want me to." she then said to me.

We all looked at her shocked. Who would openly volunteer to watch a little kid that is very hyper? Only Ally does I guess.

"You're willing to do that for me?" I asked her smiling.

"Of course! I mean, you are helping me so I can help you right?" she then asked smiling back.

"Awww that's so sweet!" Dallas teased both of us.

She then starts blushing and smiling to herself shyly as I turn to Dallas glaring at him and kicking him under his seat.

"Ow!"

"That's what you get, now shut up." I whispered to him firmly. He looks at me and rolls his eyes.

Suddenly when things couldn't get worse they did when I saw Brooke with her group walking towards us looking at Ally because I know for sure she better not be talking to me.

"Well if it isn't little Ally." Brooke said looking at her coldly.

"Uh...hi Brooke. How's it going?" she then asked nervously.

"Things would be better if people like you didn't hang out with my ex-boyfriend and friends." she said to her.

"Ex?" she asked confused looking at me and Brooke.

"Awkward." Dez muttered under his breath while Dallas giggled and Trish just stared at her evilly.

"You didn't know? I broke up with him." she said to her.

"I wouldn't call cheating on me breaking up with me." I said icily.

"Austin, we've been over this. I never cheated on you." she said to me.

"You know what Brooke? You can say that you never did but you and I both know that's a lie." I snapped at her.

I didn't want to listen to her voice anymore. I got up and grabbed Ally's hand pulling her up with me.

"Come on Ally, let's go sit somewhere else where cheaters aren't present." I said pulling her away from the crowd as others started watching.

I could see Ally looked kinda confused but then started walking along with me to the back of the row as I could feel Brooke's eyes practically shooting daggers in Ally's skull. But I didn't care if she was jealous, she should be.

"I'm sorry Austin, I didn't mean to ask about you and her I just didn't want her to be insulting me like she normally would." she apologized.

"Don't be sorry, you didn't do anything wrong. She did but aren't you tired of her always picking on you?" I asked her.

"Well yeah, but there's nothing I can do about it." she said to me.

"Oh Ally, there is always something you can do about it." I said smirking at her.

I was going to make Ally get Brooke back at least once while I'm training her before the 3 weeks were up and before prom but it was going to have to be something really good.

"Like what?" she asked confused.

The gym teacher soon comes in the room holding out a big blue bag in front of her. I quickly knew what we were doing and smiled to myself.

"Okay class, I didn't plan anything for you guys today so I decided to just play...dodgeball." the teacher said.

Half of the room starts to cheer as Ally starts frowning up.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I hate dodgeball. Everyone always hits me in the face with it." she explained.

I want to giggle at that because it was probably me who hit her with it most of the time but soon realized that she didn't deserve to get hit with one. But I knew one person who needed to and Ally was my ticket into doing exactly that.

"Alright! I need two teams front and center." the teacher then said.

Brooke and her group stood up as people start cheering their names. They would always be the first group because they were on the dodgeball team here at school and what do you know...Brooke was the caption of it.

"Okay! I see Brooke is bold enough to be the first person so I need another team on this side." she then said.

This was Ally's chance to beat Brooke at her own game. She had to win this round.

"Ally would like to be on the other team!" I said to the teacher. Ally turns to look at me shocked as people start laughing at her a little.

"Austin! Why the hell do you keep telling me what I'm going to do?!" she whispered at me.

"It's fine! All you need to do is hit Brooke with the ball and people will start to show a little respect for you." I said to her.

"Are you crazy?! I want people to show respect for me, not kill me!" she said worriedly.

"Look Ally, I wouldn't be saying you could do this if it was dangerous. Just do it." I said to her.

She looked at me even more panicky that before but then stands up and walks down the bleachers to the center of the gym along with 3 other guys who were on her team. I stood up and started clapping for her trying to see if she would gain any confidence.

"Go Ally! You can do this!" I shouted at her as people looked at me. Trish and Dez soon started clapping for her too.

"Come on Ally!" Trish cheered on.

She finally got down to the center of the gym and looks at me scared as I give her a thumbs up assuring her that she could do this. I believe she could.

"Alright so on the blow of my whistle, you guys can start! Remember, it doesn't count if it's in the face or lower part of your body. Are you ready?" the teacher asked.

Brooke and her group smiled and started laughing at Ally nodding to the teacher that they were ready. I probably should have thought this plan out more.

She then blew her whistle as the girls from Brooke's group started aiming for the 3 guys on Ally's team trying to take them out but they kept dodging unlike Ally who was running away from every ball that was coming near her.

"Come on Ally! Get someone out!" Dez cheered on. Dallas then hits him trying to make him stop.

Even though she knew what she had to do, she kept dodging each ball running away from them until Brooke aims a ball at her and it hits her in the face causing people in the crowd to cheer Brooke's name as Ally was holding her face bending down in pain.

"Ow, she just hit me!" Ally said to the teacher.

"That's the point of the game!" Brooke said to her smirking.

The teacher starts blowing her whistle again for Round two as Brooke and two people from her group that weren't out grab some balls as two guys from Ally's team grab the other balls and all four of them got out at the same time.

Oh no, it's just Ally and Brooke. This might not be good.

"It's just you and me geek!" she said to Ally coldly.

I could see the fear in Ally's eyes and I knew she wasn't strong enough to get her out without someone giving her a pep talk so I quickly stood up and ran down the bleachers to the middle of the court.

"Time out! Please time out!" I shouted to the teacher.

"There's no time out in dodgeball Moon." Dallas shouted to me.

If he thinks he was winning something, he's wrong.

"I know that but I only need to talk to Ally for a minute!" I said running up to Ally who had a ball in her hand.

She then looks at me confused.

"Austin what are you doing?" she asked me.

"I'm helping you. It's just you and her and if you get out that will be another thing Brooke would win so you have to beat her." I said to her.

"I can't. It's too much pressure and too many people watching and-" she started to say.

"Look, I know you can do this. You just have to believe in yourself." I said.

"But what if I can't. I will get hit with a dodgeball in my face which you haven't probably experienced but it really hurt because dodge balls are made of rubber and sometimes can have a huge impact on your face if you get hit with it and-" she started to explain.

Was she seriously trying to explain what dodge balls are made of?

"Ally!" I shouted to her annoyed.

"Okay, I'm sorry. You're right." she said.

"Thank you, you don't have to worry about anything. All you have to do is throw the ball." I said to her.

She then stares into my eyes and smiles and turns around and nods to the teacher that she's ready to play...I hope so.

I step back to the sidelines and starred at her and Brooke as the teacher blows her whistle off as everyone start cheering Brooke's name. She can't win, she just can't.

I can see Brooke smirking at Ally evilly as she ran up to the her and I had a bad feeling she's really going to hurt her so I closed my eyes fearing what I might see until I hear a ball hit someone and the crowd jumping up cheering to my surprised Ally's name.

I opened my eyes quickly and noticed that Ally had hit Brooke before she could hit her with the ball which meant she won. She turned around to see me smiling as I smiled back at her looking at Brooke scowling at her.

I ran up to Ally and started hugging her in the tightest hug I ever gave her and she quickly hugged back jumping up and down excitedly in my grip.

"You did Ally! You finally beat her at something!" I said to her happily picking her up spinning her around.

"Aww thank you! I couldn't have done it without you!" she said finally letting go of me smiling.

I looked back at Brooke who was now starring at me and Ally deathly and I knew we just pissed her off which was actually my goal.

"I can't believe you hit me!" she yelled at Ally.

"That's the point of the game!" I fired back at her mockingly.

She then rolled her eyes and then walks off to sit back down angry as I high five Ally and pull her into a hug again while Dez and Trish along with the rest of the class kept cheering. The bell suddenly rang as I pull Ally out of the gym and started walking back to my locker as Ally went to hers and all of a sudden Brooke comes up to me without her group which was highly unusual.

"What do you want?" I snapped at her.

"Cut the bullshit Austin, what are you trying to do?" she asked me.

"I'm not trying to do anything but put my books in my bag and head home. Ally is going to hang out with me for the day so if you will excuse me I have to go find her." I started to say trying to walk off.

"I wasn't finished. Why are you hanging out with her? She's a geek and you and I both know that you hate people like her." she said to me.

"Well you said you didn't cheat on me, so I guess we both lied." I spat at her still not making eye contact.

She then grabs my shoulder and turns me around to face her.

"Are you trying to make me jealous?" she asked.

Wow, wasn't she full of herself.

"Nope, I'm just hanging out with new people. Why don't you get off my back about it?" I told her firmly.

"Because, you're you and she's her!" she said.

"I don't think I understand that. Now I have to go, please move." I said to her.

She then starred at me coldly but then steps out of my way as I start to sprint away until she calls me back.

"Fine, go and hang with her. But never forget what we had!" she shouted from behind me.

I turned myself around to face her smirking. Did she really think something was going on between me and Ally? Even if that was true, which was not why would she care anyway?

"What we had? What we had obviously meant nothing to you." I said to her.

She gave me then a shocked expression as I turned back around and walked to Ally's locker who was finishing putting her books away.

"Hey Ally, are you ready to go?" I asked her smiling.

"What was that all about?" she asked curiously.

"What do you mean?" I asked her.

"I mean she was talking to you just a few seconds ago about what?" she said.

"Oh it was nothing. She under the impression that we have something going on but she's crazy right?" I asked her.

I could see from the side of her locker her face fell a little bit but I couldn't figure out why but then smiles and looks back to me.

"Yeah, pretty crazy." she said sadly.

Why did she sound so disappointed?! She's sending me mixed signals, not that I'm looking for one anyway.

"Well it's not because you're a geek because you're not...at least not to me but you would never like me anyway I mean we've only known each other since yesterday." I explained to her.

"Actually, you were the one that's known me since yesterday. I'm the one that knew you for 13 years." she pointed out.

"Look, I don't need you to keep reminding me that I was ignoring you for so long. I honestly didn't know who you were." I said to her.

"You could have." she said softly.

I started to feel a little bit angry with myself at how she's been probably waiting for 13 years for me to say something to her and here I am being defensive.

"Ally, I'm really sorry for all those years of not knowing you if I had met you earlier we would probably be friends already and I just screwed all of that up." I said to her.

She then smiles and hugs me tightly and I quickly hug her back. For some reason, every time I hug Ally it was so different when I hugged Brooke. It actually felt...really good which is really weird because I can't like Ally like that.

"It's okay, you're making them up now so that's all that matters." she said smiling at me.

My heart instantly felt warm and I felt like I could do anything right now.

"So where are going?" she asked closing her locker walking with me.

"Well I was thinking we could go somewhere like the beach. Most popular people go there and you need to be everywhere they're at." I said to her.

"Why?" she moaned.

"Because in order to show them how a new Ally Dawson is coming out, you have to show them who you are first." I explained.

"People already know who I am!" she fired at me.

"Really? Our music and gym teachers didn't even know who you were. They had to check the attendant sheet just to confirm you belonged in a class you've been in all year." I said to her.

"Well when you put it like that it makes me seem invisible."

"Which is why we're going to the beach and showing people you are not." I said.

She nodded and pulled my hand outside the school. As soon as we start go to my expensive car my parents bought me on my sweet 16 birthday party. I could see Ally's face lit up and smiles as she runs over to my car.

"Woah, be very careful with it." I said to her.

"Oh, sorry. But this car is so awesome! I wish I could have a car like this, how did you get this one?" she then asked looking at me.

"My parents got it for me, they're one of those rich parents as some would say." I said getting into the driver's seat.

"That's so cool! You are so lucky to have parents like that." she said getting into the passenger seat.

Yeah right, parents who are ever hardly home and can't spend a day taking care of Abby. Those are the kinds of parents everyone wants.

"I wouldn't say that." I muttered.

"What was that?" she asked curiously.

"Nothing." I said.

"Are you ready to go to one of my favorite places?" I asked her.

"No." she said bitterly. I laughed.

The beach was a great way for her to finally break out her shell she's been hiding behind for 13 years. And plus Brooke is going to be at the beach too, she always go there every day.

Wait, maybe this isn't a good idea.
