Austin's POV

This is the craziest thing I've ever thought in my entire life, but I'm actually LOOKING FORWARD to go work on a school project. What is wrong with me?

I can't deny that Ally is actually really nice to be around. She's super smart, so all the work is right, but its not weird. I thought it would be weird, to be around her, since I don't know her. But, I feel like I do.

She told me to meet her at Sonic Boom today, but when I walked in, I couldn't find her, again. I looked up the stairs, and decided she must be in the room at the top. So, I walked up the stairs.

But, I stopped short. Something was happening. I think perhaps the gates of heaven themselves opened up, because I could distinctly hear an angel singing. I was drawn to the sound. A sweet, angelic voice, with a flawless rhythm on the piano. My feet drew me forward, until I could see into the room the sound was coming from, and see Ally.

Ally was the angel I could hear. What? Am I serious right now? Okay, so scratch that, she's not an angel. But, her hands flying across the keys, the passion she put into every note she sang, it was breathtaking. She lied, she doesn't just play the piano a little, she's seriously fantastic at it.

But, then she saw me standing there, and immediately stopped, jumping up from the bench.

"No, don't stop."

"Sorry, I was just playing around."

"Playing around? Ally, that was seriously amazing."

Her face twisted, "Seriously?"

"Yeah, you're great. Why wouldn't you play for me yesterday?"

"I have really bad stage fright."

"Are you serious?"'

"Uh, yeah."

"Oh."

Bad stage fright? What a bummer. No one would be able to hear how talented she is, because she's too afraid to show anyone. That must suck. I could see the passion that she had poured into the song, she obviously loved music, but no one would recognize it.

Immediately, I felt like I understood Ally. It wasn't that Ally was too nerdy to be considered cool, or too awkward, lame, or weird. Ally was the complete opposite, but she was too shy and afraid to let people really see her. She effectively made herself invisible.

Which is a shame. Ally Dawson, who I didn't know existed just a few days ago, I now seem to get. A few things I know for sure. For starters, Ally is one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. Also, she loves music, with a burning passion, and she's extremely talented at it. But, she has stage fright, hindering her from letting anyone know the real her.

Ally wanted to get straight to business, so we started to finished the project. One short hour later, we had a printed copy, ready to be turned in.

I didn't want to leave yet, something was holding me back. I wanted to know more about Ally. I got just a few things out of her in the next hour. Her mom's in Africa, studying gorillas. She's absolutely in love with pickles, she loves her best friend, Trish, and she writes her own songs.

I asked her to let me read them, but she shut me out, and got quiet. Having no other excuse to linger there, I left Sonic Boom. I found myself disappointed that she wouldn't let me read her songs. Saddened about leaving her presence, she was actually a lot of fun to hang around. She intrigued me. For some reason, I wanted to figure her out.

I don't know what is going on. Austin Moon, me, I, myself, was wanting to hang with little miss nobody. I shook my head to clear it, trying to shake the thoughts out of my head.

In all honesty, Ally made me feel different than any other girl had ever made me feel. I don't get it, but now its over. The project is done, so I won't be talking to her anymore. I wouldn't be caught dead talking to her at school. I could never explain it to my friends, they would never understand what hearing her sing did to me.

Whatever I was thinking today, ended today.

Ally's POV

Austin Moon is really not as bad as everyone says. He seems nice, interested in music, and smarter than he's letting on.

He's...surprising. I thought he was just an immature boy, but he's actually sweet, and interesting. He seemed interested in learning about my life, which was weird.

I wonder what will happen now. I'm betting we will never talk again. The project is finished.

Let's face it. We have nothing in common. We were never meant to interact, to be friends. The social standards of the world, and mainly our school, would never allow it.

So, its done. Ally Dawson, being spoken to by a popular boy, thats over. Not that I ever really cared about stuff like that. But, Little Miss Ally Dawson will just go back to being the girl no one notices.

But, is it bad that I'm disappointed? I don't want Austin to just pretend I don't exist. But, then again, we don't have much of anything in common, except we both love music.

Oh well. Things will go back to the way they are "supposed to be". Austin Moon and Ally Dawson will act as if nothing happened between them, although, I could swear that Austin was actually interested in getting to know me. He accidentally heard me sing, and he seemed impressed. It was almost as if he was flirting with me afterwards. But, of course, popular boy Austin Moon would never do that, so what was going on?

What's worse is that I thought that we could really have something. We're both so into music, and Austin was actually great, once you got past the immature high school boy in him. I thought, that by chance, we could become friends. I see now, that I was deluding myself. People like me could never be friends with people like him.

Oh well.

We won't talk anymore. Soon, we'll forget we even did the project together. Everything will be a fuzzy memory. Honestly, I'm too shy to be friends with a guy like him anyway.
