Bonjour people! It's the frigging weekend fuck yes! Time to chill :D
~Chapter eight: Read all about it~
I stood there, my mouth hung open like a gold fish.
"D-dallas?" I stammered. Why him? It could be anyone, but no they had to go and pick him!
He smirked and nodded at me "I'm passing this class... easily" he remarked.
I scoffed to myself. I really do hate him.
"Dallas is a good student and I'm sure he'll help you, why don't you take the rest of the day off and get to know each other" Miss Winters said with a smile.
I laughed "Oh we're already great friends" I said a hint of sarcasm leaking in my voice.
Miss Winters smiled and clapped her hands together "Great to hear, I suspect Ally's grades to rise in no time" she yelled standing up.
I sighed and nodded "Me too" I mumbled.
She almost pushed us both out of the door.
"Have fun" she yelled before shutting the door behind her. I frowned and turned to Dallas.
"Hello again" he said in his annoyingly stupid voice. I huffed and crossed my arms tightly.
"Okay, here's the thing, I'm failing, badly, and I need your help so don't be a prick or you'll spend the rest of your life trying to find a replacement for your...male parts" I replied with a sweet smile.
He laughed "Actually, I was wondering if we could start from the beginning. We got off on the wrong foot and I really hope to be your friend" he said with a smile, he held out his hand in front of him.
NO! You don't trust. You know that. Don't agree.
I narrowed my eyes at his hand and studied with cation. After a minute of studying his hand, I sighed and gave up, joining it with mine. "I'd like that too" I smiled at him.
He pulled his arm away. "So, meet me after school, we could study at my house" he told me.
I mentally sighed with relief. Good not my house.
I nodded "Great. Um, meet you by my locker" I waved goodbye and headed off back to class.
"Trish" I whined. "I told you, I'm meeting Dallas to study" I repeated for the 100th time.
She raised a brow at me "The same Dallas that you couldn't stand a week ago?" she asked. I nodded innocently.
"He said he wants to 'start from he beginning' I guess he means act like we never met, or start a new page, something cheesy like that" I said with a grin.
She laughed and nodded "Whatever floats your boat. Have fun" she replied.
I smiled slightly and nodded "Thanks, see you tomorrow" I leant against my locker as Trish walked away, leaving me alone.
I sighed. Where the hell is he? I glanced at the clock on the wall.
He's 40 minutes late! Great. Just great. This is what I get for trusting. Shoud've known. I smiled to myself and ran to the music room.
I sighed happily as I saw the empty room. I quickly shut the door behind me and ran over to the piano.
I sat down at the stool and rested my book on the side. I felt a smile come to my lips. "Hi mom, Hi dad" I whispered.
I have this, feeling that whenever I'm near anything that is close to music, it makes me feel connected to them, because they both were so passionate with music. It just feels right.
I lifted my finger onto the piano and let flow softly over every ivory keys.
I opened my book and opened it to a page with 'read all about it' written in big letters at the top.
I looked at the page the last before playing the painful melody.
You've got the words to change a nation

"Wow" a voice whispered behind me. I screamed and fell, no-so-gracefully off the piano stool.
I looked up to see Austin, smiling down at me. I smiled sheepishly back and got up, sitting back on the stool.
"Sorry about that, you just scared me" I mumbled, closing my book. He shrugged and looked back at the piano.
"I can't believe how good you are. How did you learn?" he asked.
I felt my cheeks heat up. "Um, my dad taught me" I whispered.
He nodded and sat on the stool next to me. "Does he still play with you?" he asked.
I cleared my throat a little. "Um no, I guess you could say he's been pretty busy, I Hadley see him" I replied shyly.
"I Know the feeling. My parents are always away on business trips, It gets lonely" he said with another shrug.
I nodded "You have no idea" I replied. "It feels like sometimes, they're not coming back"
What am I doing?!
He raised a brow at me. "What do you mean?" he asked.
I shook my head "Never mind, I was being stupid" I replied quickly.
He smiled and started to play some random chords on the piano.
"You play too?" I asked. He looked at me and smirked.
"I don't wanna' brag but I can piano your ass to the ground" he said cockily.
I laughed "I think that's very unlikely. You've seen my skills" I said, flipping my hair over my shoulder.
He chuckled and sighed in deface. "Okay, okay. You win. You were awesome. Who's song was that?" he asked, trying to take my book of me.
I snatched it away and put it at the side of me. "My book. You don't touch" I snapped. He laughed and nodded.
"I wrote it, it's really old though, really old, I wrote it a while ago, about 2 years ago actually" I ranted on.
He rolled his eyes "So, it's still great." He replied.
I smiled brightly at him.
"Thanks" I mumbled, looking down at the floor.
Okay, I'm going to tell him.
"Austin, there's something you need to know about me" I said, looking up from the floor and into his eyes.
He narrowed his eyes "You're not going to tell me your were born a dude or something, are you?" he asked.
I shook um head and laughed "No. I wasn't 'born a dude' like you said" I sighed.
"No not really ric-" I was cut off.
"There you are!" a annoyed voice said behind us.
I spun around to see Dallas.
"Dallas? Where were you, I waited for ages" I hissed, getting off the stool.
He walked over to me. "I had to stay behind and help out a teacher" he replied.
"Oh" I mumbled. "Um, shall we, go?" I asked.
He glanced over to Austin "Sorry man, gotta' steal her for the night" he said with a smirk.
I felt my mouth open by a gap. "So we can study" I butted in. He nodded and took my arm.
I shot Austin and apologetic smile "See you tomorrow" I said before I was dragged out of there.
I was so close!

I always put Dallas as the annoying person who walks in on people. Eh, I dislike him always. No offence to any Dallas lovers!
