After signing in at the main office, Trish and I were given the password to the electronic lock that unlocks our dorm instead of keys. "I'm glad it's a code we have to enter in instead of keys because I would lose those all the time" she said laughing as we walked to find our dorm. "Okay we are in the Monica building- I think that's it over there." I told Trish. "The Monica building?" Trish laughed, "What kind of name is Monica?" "I don't know Trish, but what room theme do you want?" "Oh! I want navy blue and hot pink chevron with anchors" "okay I wouldn't mind that" I replied. When we walked into our dorm (which was number 317) we saw two twin beds and small dressers, and a fairly big walk in closet beside the bathroom. "Hey this is kind of nice" I said to Trish who is now standing in the closet. "This is way to small it won't hold half of my clothes, and that's not even considering yours!" Trish complained. "Well I guess we will have to figure out how to make it work" I told her. "Alright, let's go out to the activities fair" Trish said. "okay" I agreed as we headed out the door.

A&A

"Ugh, Trish there is nothing here!" I exclaimed. "Yes there is Ally you just want to do the boring stuff like cloud watching club" Trish replied. I gasped, "I will have you know that cloud watching club is very fun and exciting!" "Sure it is" Trish sarcastically replied. As we were arguing we went watching where we were going and run into two boys. "Hey watch where you're going" Trish yells at the redhead, while I was knocked on the floor due to my small frame. I looked up at the blonde who I ran into, he had brown eyes and was really tall. "Sorry" I said as I tried to get up, but I slipped on the grass and fell again. "Oh my gosh" I muttered as I lay in the grass and closed my eyes. "Come on, get up" I heard a voice say. I opened my eyes and saw the blonde's hand stretched out towards me. I took it and pulled myself up. "I'm Austin" he said with a million dollar smile. 'Dang this boy is attractive' I thought to myself as he stood there smiling at me, it was starting to looked forced so I smiled back. He looked really confused now and said, "And your name is?" "Oh my gosh I so stupid" I said out loud, mentally face palming myself. "I'm Ally" "Well Ally" Austin said "There's a back to school bash in the auditorium at 8, see you there?" I was about to respond with a confident 'no', but something told me I should let loose a little. "You just might" I replied walking away.

A&A

It was 7oclock and I was reading a book on my bed, "Ally! Why aren't you getting ready for the bash?" Trish yelled. "I'm not going" I said in a 'duh' voice. "No you're going to that party and I'm going to get you ready!" "Triiiiiiiiish" I whined. "Nope, come on I'll do your makeup" I got up off my bed and went into the bathroom. 10 minutes later I had on natural makeup with mascara and a light blush. "Now what will you wear? Maybe something I got you for your birthday but never wear?" she said with an evil smile. "No Trish, there is no way I'm going to wear that dress" "Then why did you bring it with you?" she asked holding up a short, tight fitted dress that had one long sleeve on the right shoulder. "Put it on" she demanded. "Ugh" I groaned as I put the dress on along with red high heels. "Look at you! You look great!" Trish squealed. "I don't know" I said unsurely. "Come on" Trish said "We have to leave before you change your mind".

A&A

It was 9oclock and Trish and I had been hanging out with Dez over by the punch bowl.

"Where's Austin at?" I asked Dez.

"Oh you'll see" he said with a smirk.

I gave him a confused look as Mr. Moon walked up on the stage. "Hello everybody, I am Mr. Moon the founder and principal of this school. I hope everyone has been having a good night, and now for what you all have been waiting for, my son Austin Moon!" everyone clapped and cheered but I didn't know what was going on until I saw Austin walk onto the stage.

'Austin is the principals son?!' I silently screamed in my head. I turned to Dez, "I didn't know that Austin was the principal's son" "Well he is Austin Moon, and this is Moon Fine Art University" he said in a 'duh' tone.

Austin's voice came through the speakers, "Hey everyone, I'm Austin Moon and I'll be singing Thinking Out Loud by Ed Sheeran. Every one cheered and clapped while I sipped my drink.

Dez turned to Trish and asked her, "Would you like to dance?" she smiled at him and said, "Sure" So I was left alone at the punch table until a boy with brown hair and brown eyes came up to me and said "I couldn't help but notice that your standing here all alone, would you like to dance?" I can't dance to save my life, one time I was dancing in the living room and my dad almost called an ambulance because he thought I was having a heart attack.

"Um, sorry but no thanks" I replied to the boy. "Oh it's okay" and he walked away probably trying to find someone else to dance with. I could see Austin's eyes scanning the crowd probably looking for Dez. He found Dez and they both did a small nod towards each other but he kept searching. 'Who is he looking for?' I thought as his eyes locked on mine.

He smiled at me and winked, I felt a small blush in my cheeks but luckily the lights were dimmed. He continued singing.

"I'm thinking 'bout how people fall in love in mysterious ways"

"Maybe it's all part of a plan"

"Well, I'll just keep on making the same mistakes"

"Hoping that you'll understand"

He was still smiling at me and I was smiling back as I took a sip of my punch. "This boy" I quietly whispered to myself shaking my head still smiling

"That, baby, now"

"Take me into your loving arms"

"Kiss me under the light of a thousand stars"

"Place your head on my beating heart"

"Thinking out loud"

"Maybe we found love right where we are"

He strummed his guitar one last time and everyone clapped.

He set it on the stage and headed towards me. "Hey Ally" he smirked.

"Hey, I didn't know you were the principals son, or that you could sing"

"Yes well I am a man of many secrets" he said in a deep voice, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"And I'm sure you have lots of secrets too" he stated while he poured some punch. A slow song came on, "Ally, would you like to dance?"

"I don't dance" I told him.

"What? I don't believe you" he took my drink out of my hand, set it on the table beside us, and dragged me out on the dance floor.

"Austin, let me rephrase that, I can't dance"

"Then I'll teach you" "I'm not getting out of this am I?"

"Nope"

"Fine"

He put his arms around my waist and I put mine around his neck.

"Now just back and forth" he said swaying me.

"Hey, this is kind of ea-"

"Ouch!" Austin yelped.

"Sorry" I said looking at the ground. He took his hand off my waist, put it under my chin and lifted my face up.

"It's okay Ally"

I put my head on his chest and swayed. I don't know why but I trust him a lot. The song lasted a little longer and after we walked over to the punch. It was 11:30 now and the party lasted until one. "Hey Austin I'm going to go back to my dorm I really tired" I said with a yawn.

"I'll walk you back" he smiled.

"No you stay here and enjoy the party it's not too far of a walk" I said turning away towards the door. "No Ally I want to" he said with a sincere smile. "Okay" I smiled back.

We told Trish and Dez we were leaving and headed out side. It was surprisingly very cold and I shivered. Austin noticed and started to take off his leather jacket.

"Austin don't, it's not that cold" I told him. "You have goosebumps Ally" he said putting his jacket around me. I was about to take it off and give it back to him, but I realized just how cold I was. I wrapped the oversized jacket around me and inhaled. It smelled like Austin.

"So Ally what's your last name? I mean it's only fair since you know mine" he said nudging me. "Ally Dawson" I say. "What no way!" he said with an excited smile. "What?" I ask him. "Well you're Ally Daw-SUN and I'm Austin MOON" he says "Hey what dorm are we going to anyways?" he asked.

"Oh, I live in the Monica building" I answered. "Why did your parents name it the Monica building?" I asked him. "Oh um I don't know" he said nervously while his face turned red.

"Austin Moon you know why, now spill it!" I shoved him playfully. He sighed "You have to promise to not tell anyone and I mean not even Trish because I will never live it down" I nodded, "It's my middle name" he said sheepishly.

"Wait, Monica is your middle name?" I burst out laughing.

"Hey!" he whines "It's not my fault my parents picked that"

"Alright" I say "I promise I won't tell anyone, because that's really embarrassing" I laugh.

"Oh yeah and what's your middle name Ally Dawson?"

"Ha nice try, I'll never tell you, Moon!"

"Oh, so we are doing nicknames now, Ally-Cat?"

I gasp "No, that's like the worst nickname EVER!"

"Alright Ally-Cat so when's your birthday?"

"November 29th, yours?"

"December 29th" he answered as we walked into the elevator to go to the 3rd floor. "You know Ally I think we're going to be best friends"

"Nice try" I smirked "but Trish is my best friend" I said, as we walked off the elevator

"What room are you in?"

"317" I responded

"What about your parents Ally?" he asked.

"Well when I was little my mom left us to go study wildlife in Africa and me and my dad stayed in Miami because he owns Sonic Boom but when I got accepted on a scholarship he went to Africa to try to reconnect with my mom" I sighed, it felt good to tell someone other than Trish, and know other people would actually care.

"Ah, a scholarship kid, you must be pretty smart and be able to play a lot of instruments"

I nodded "Yeah, I guess I'm smart… Well here's my room, see you tomorrow?" I asked hopefully.

"Sure, why not?" he smiled.

"Goodnight, Austin"

"Goodnight Ally" he walked off and I closed the door to change into my pajamas.

I took off Austin's jacket and realized that I hadn't given it back to him. 'I'll just give it back to him tomorrow' I thought to myself.
