Chapter Two
I Don't Like Parties
Austin's POV
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock. I groaned and turned it off. It took me a second to realize where I was but I started to remember. I closed my eyes for a second.
I started thinking of the girl with the beautiful smile. My stomach felt all weird.
'Why am I thinking of her now?'
I stand up and walk to the bathroom.

My mom dropped me off at school a little early so I had time to walk around the school again. But I decided to go to the library. Hoping to find that Ally girl.
I walk down through the aisles, looking at books and trying to look like I actually belonged here.
At my old school the library was my safe place. I wasn't exactly popular among the others. I never was really. I always stayed in the background. I mean I was popular but something happened which caused the downfall of my life. That's the whole reason we moved to have a new start. But you can't just begin again by moving, you still remember everything that happened.
I picked up a book from the horror / fantasy isle. It was called 'The Kingdom Keepers' (I like this book too), I looked at the cover, five kids running from pirates in front of Cinderella's Castle. Sure, I'll read it.
I was trying to find place to sit when I spotted Ally sitting at a table alone.
I smiled and made my way over. I sat in front of her. She was still reading the 'Wake' book. She looked up at me, slid down in her seat and began chewing on her hair. I decided to be quite and see if she'd talk.
I was in the part of the book where Finn was meeting the other Kingdom Keepers. Don't make fun of me I'm a slow reader. When Ally finally said something.
"I-I've read that book b-before."
I look up at her. "Really? Did you like it?"
"Yeah it's good."
I catch her eyes and hold her gaze for a few seconds. Before she shuddered and looked away. I sigh and look at the table. I glanced at her wrist; a few faded scars were on them. She noticed me staring and pulled her sleeve back down. I looked back at her. She was breathing real heavy. I reached out and touched her hand.
"Ally are you okay?"
She recoiled and screamed. I stand up, a little bit shocked.
Her eyes rolled back in her head and she fell out of her seat. I ran over to her and put my hand to her head. She was really warm.
"Help! Somebody fainted!"

Ally's POV
God, my head hurt. I opened my eyes and saw a blue ceiling. I sat up but admittedly lie back down. Yeah my head hurts. I look over and see that blonde headed boy, Austin. Why is he here? Then I remembered I fainted. His head was resting in his hands. I sit up and tap his leg. He didn't move.
"Austin?"
He jumped and sat up. "Oh, ummm, are you okay?" He rubbed his eyes.
I nodded. "Yeah, just got a large ass headache."
He chuckled and stared at me.
I felt a blush coming on. I sit up and look at my legs. "Do you know what time it is?" I whisper.
"Yeah," He took out his phone and looked at it. "It's ummm actually 10:30. We only have ten minutes of US History left. It wouldn't really make a difference if we went."
I nod, "Do Trish and Dez know? That I'm okay."
"Oh yeah, I texted Dez and he told Trish." He stood up. "I'll go get the nurse. Okay?"
I nodded and pulled my legs to my chest.
I watched him walk away and exit the nurse's office. Why wasn't she in here anyway?
A few minutes later Austin came back with the nurse. She did some weird tests and said I was okay. She sent Austin and me back to class. We slowly walk to our gym class.
As we walked I stared at my shoes. They were black thick high heels. I liked them. I felt Austin's eyes on me. He was probably thinking about the scars on my wrists. Believe me, I don't cut. But I-Uh….never mind.
I guess I was too lost in thought because Austin touched my shoulder and turned me towards him.
"Are you okay? Do we need to go back to the nurse?"
I shake my head and wrap my arms around myself. "I'm fine." I whisper.
He nods and we continue walking.
I didn't want to go to gym. I'm horrible at sports. The only thing that I ever did that was close to sports was ballet and I sucked at that too.
We stood at door that entered the gym. I stood on my tip-toes and looked through the window. They were playing dodge ball. I always get hurt during this game. Another trip to the nurse's office was in my future. I took a deep breath and leaned against the wall.
"What?" Austin asked.
I didn't realize her was still here. I pointed to the gym. He looked through the window.
"You're not good at dodge ball."
I shrugged and nodded, looking down.
"Just tell the gym teacher the nurse said you can't play." He said.
Why haven't I thought of that before? Wait, I know. I can't say too much before I stutter and have a panic attack. I shrug, still looking down. I didn't want to talk to Austin right now. He was kind of making me nervous.
"You can't talk in front of people. Can you?" He said.
Wow, this guy can read me like a book.
"Why don't I just tell him and you do your best to look sick? Okay?"
I nod. Why was he trying to be so nice to me?
He opened the door for me. I nodded, walked in and sat on the bleachers.
I see Austin run over to the gym teacher and tell him the lie. The gym man looks over at me and nods. Austin walks to the boy's locker room and thumbs me up. I do my best to smile but I end up nodding.

I sat at the lunch table, Dez, Trish and I usually sat at. This time just like yesterday Austin sat with us. I think I kinda like him as a friend now that he saved me from gym. It was funny to watch him and Dez talk about a new scary movie that came out. They were doing weird gun noises and things. Trish looked at them like they were idiots; they did look like idiots.
Trish was about to ask me a question when a boy came up and screamed at us.
"Hey do you guys wanna come to a party?"
Please say no, please say no, please say no. I hate parties.
"Sure," Trish said smiling. "Where, when and what time?"
"This Friday, Kendall Mason's House and the party starts at 8:00." He said.
"Cool. We will totally be there."
"Nice," The boy ran off and started yelling the same thing to another table.
"Yeah, I love going to parties!" Trish squeaked.
I sat and stared at my sandwich. I suddenly felt sick. Parties and Ally don't go together that well.
Dez looked at Austin and patted him on the back. "So Austin are you ready for your first party at South Ken High?
Austin smiled, "Sure."
Trish looked over at me. She patted my back. "Ally everything is going to be fine. I'll stay with you the whole time. Alright?"
I shrug. I really wish I had a jar of pickles right now. I really don't like parties.
So there is chapter two, I hope you guys like it as much as the first chapter. Please tell me if you like it or anything. Again thanks! :)
