A/N So, I'm having a bit of writer's block. But chances are I may not be able to update for you guys tomorrow, so I'm going to try to get it done anyways. Forgive me. :( I'm also totally consumed in the NCAA these days lol. But that's beside the point! Let's all do a little happy dance because I successfully made it halfway through at story! -happy dance- I never do that. I must thank you guys tremendously for nearly 100 reviews, and (last time I checked) over 21,000 views! Cray crayy. Thanks you all. :) Enjoy! ಌ

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin&Ally nor am I associated with it in any way. All characters belong to Disney, however, I created Ian. All I did was twist the story line. I also don't own the song "Never Say Never" by The Fray, nor am I associated with The Fray.

Today was the first day of the start of the second semester at Miami High School. I had made all A's last semester, but it was a new schedule, and new teachers. I have to admit, I got that whole new feeling that I got on the first day of school all over again. It all disappeared when Austin offered to pick me up and take me to school, though.

He imminently asked to see my schedule when I got in the car with him. I gently slipped the folded up piece of paper out of the pocket of my backpack, and then handed it to him.

His chocolate eyes studied it for a moment, and then he frowned.

"What?" I asked him confused.

"Only one class together..." He observed with a pitiful look, "Not even the same lunch."

Now I'm frowning. "What class is it?" I ask him, and he replies, "Calculus... Ugh." Then he carefully folds the paper back up and hands it to me once more.

"Well," I say with a sigh, "maybe since you're in there, it will make the class slightly less painful?"

He scoffs. "Doubt it, babe. Calculus is hell. Or, so I've heard anyway."

We pull in to the school parking lot right about then. He comes around and opens my door for me, then he takes my hand as we walk towards the entrance. I think people were slowly adjusting to Austin dating me. People had finally... Accepted me, I guess. I got off pretty lucky, considering Austin and I hit it off pretty much right off the bat. I graze my thumb over the promise ring on my left hand. I think it was meant to be.

He walks me to my locker, where Trish soon finds me. "Ready for this?" She groans, and I shrug. "Austin and I only have one class together."

Trish pulls her wrinkled up schedule out of her back pocket and hands it to me. "Check it out," she says, "if it's still legible..."

It was, and I was happy to see that I had two classes with Trish. Not as many as last time, but it would do. We also had the same lunch. I hand her back the schedule and say, "Two classes and the same lunch."

She shrugs. "Not bad. But, you know what's terrible?" She smacks her palm to her forehead. I stare at her in confusion. "What?" I ask.

Right about then, Dez runs up to us and says "I have all classes with Trish!" excitedly.

Austin kind of chuckles and I giggle. Trish stares at me in anger. "That's what's terrible."

"Aww," I say with a laugh, "you guys can be best friends this semester! Come on, Trish, Dez is a senior! He won't be here forever!"

"Yeah," Dez says with a grin, "I've already applied to Florida State and University of Miami!" Then he turns to Austin. "Where have you applied, Austin?"

Ausin bites his lip. "Well... Nowhere, Dez. I mean, I wasn't planning on going to college, but then all that stuff happened with Ian so... I mean, I don't know." He runs a hand through his hair, and my heart sinks. I hadn't really considered that Austin may still want to go to college since Ian was now across the country.

Dez slumps his shoulders. "Bummer. We could be roommates."

Austin sighs. "I'll think about it, okay, Dez? But I'm not hopping on any decisions. I'd need a scholarship."

Dez nods. "I've applied for a bunch of those. You should go pick some up from the guidance office."

Dez may not at first come off as a smart guy, but he was a genius. At his school work, I mean. He was in beta club, and had a very high GPA. Austin was smart, too, but Dez was still ahead of him. I really don't know how, though, because when I first met him, I thought he was an idiot or something. I mean, I really don't get it.

The bell rings, and Austin and I go our seperate ways. Trish, Dez, and I walk to class together, and I try to get the thought of Austin going to college off of my mind.

A/N Uh oh. Some return of college talk? Hmm. Hope y'all liked it. I'll try my best to update some time tomorrow, but if I can't, it will be the day after that. Sorry! Well, don't forget to review, favorite, and follow! I'd love to hear where you think this story is leading? :) Also, sorry my chapters are kind of short lately. :/ School has been totally crazy for me lately. But thanks for all the love and support anyways haha! Seriously, THANK YOU.
