So I guess this starts chapter 2?


Sorry this chapter seems like a filler, and out of character for Ally.

katebemwah- Honestly, I really hadn't thought that out. I imagine that they would be around 17 / 18 though.

Rauslly-and-Percabeth-Rock - thank you so much for the motiviation. Also. You're screenname rocks!


-Ally-

"Good morning all you headed to work, school, appointments, and all that early morning jazz. Starting off the East 60 is shut down, so you had better commute early, or if you're a tourist, you better get your walking shoes on, and start looking for people who know the," I had cut the radio DJ off in mid sentence. Who listened to the radio these days anyways? Didn't everyone get their information off Facebook? The DJ was right though, I would have to get my walking shoes on and head to school. That was when I had received a text from my ex boyfriend-turned-best friend, Dez asking where I was. That was when I knew I was late.

Stall me. I'm on my way. I had texted him back. I throw on my top to my uniform, and immediately rush out of the apartment. I had chose the wrong time to try to find a taxi, and the only time I had was to rush through Central Park, depending on how many tourists there were, and how many homeless were going to bum for money, in which, I really had no time for, being as I had less than an hour to get to school.

Dez texts me again. Shit. I was running short on time.

I wasn't paying attention, and that when I had ran straight into someone.

"Sorry. I have to get to school," I plead my case with the blonde haired person, and which would be the only thing I had the chance to look at. When you're in a hurry, you honestly don't check every feature about the person, especially in Central Park.

"It's no problem," he tells me, and then continues onto singing something I wasn't familiar with. Whatever it was, he was covering it perfectly, and without thinking about it, I place a dollar in his guitar case, and continue onto school, knowing I was going to be late.

"Where have you been?" Dez asks me as he sees me, and I see that I've already missed first period. "Nevermind, don't answer that," he adds, as he throws his copy of Pride and Prejudice in his locker.

"What crawled up your butt, and died? I ask for one favor," I protest as I open my locker, and place my unneeded school materials in it.

"I did. I swear, but it keeps getting hard when you have so many excuses you can handle," he points out. "Anyways, I have to meet up with Trish. I'll see you at lunch," he tells me, and then shuts his locker, and walks away.

"Ally, I see you've been nominated for Homecoming Queen," I hear Calum Luca announce as he approaches me, and meets my eyes, as I had met his. We both knew it wasn't true.

"Court, actually, which just basically means, you can run next year. Or something like that," I correct him, as he pushes his Harry Styles fashioned hair back. I meet his green eyes for a brief moment.

"That sucks, you would have kicked ass as Queen," he tells me, as the bell rings, and we have a few minutes to get to class. I wasn't sure as to what to do. Smile. Come up with some excuse, and bale on him.

"Do you want to meet up tonight to study?" I ask him, as I head in the direction of my next class. Again, I look at him, despite knowing what he would say. Him and I were always two different people. He was the awkward soccer player, and I was the artsy teenager.

"Yeah, that would be great. I'll see you then," he tells me, and then disappears down the hallway for class. We both knew the truth, and I head for class.

"Mrs. Dawson, so glad to see you attend class," Mrs. Roswen announces as she sees me, and I take my seat. I just smile, and pull out my notebook for class, but I don't take notes, instead, I doodle. It's what I would do when I didn't feel like paying attention in class. That was until I had heard pop quiz, in which, I didn't really need to panic, because, I played my cards right, and studied.

After class, I headed to meet with Dez for lunch.

"Come take a walk with me. We're beside the park, and besides, I really need to talk to you," I tell him, as I look at his new hairstyle, in which, I wouldn't I wouldn't bring up because it was that bad.

"We can't go off campus, remember? We do have the courtyard however, and we can watch the chess team prep for tonight's team," he points out.

"Fine. Hey isn't Trish joining us?" I give in, as I found it odd that she wasn't with him.

"No she has Cell Phone Anonymous, or something like that," he tells me, as reach the abandoned benches in the courtyard. "What did you want to tell me?" he questions as he pulls out his ham and cheese sandwich out of his Star Wars lunch box.

"Remember Calum Luca?" I ask, as he goes quiet for a moment.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" he asks me, as we both don't need to finish the sentence.

"Before you say anything, he's coming over to study tonight," I tell him.

"Ally, what were you thinking?" he asks me.

"I don't know. We got talking, and I asked him," I tell him the truth.

"I'm not pushing the topic, but please, at least let me there with you in case he doesn't something stupid," Dez protests, and he meets my eyes. "You know I don't trust him," he adds, as he gets up from the bench. "Here. Have my sandwich, I'm not hungry," he tells me. Part of me is wanting to tell him to stop acting like a jerk, because, he is my best friend, and another part of me is wanting to be the one to apologize to him. He is right to be upset.

-A&A-

Finally school was done, and I was headed back to the apartment with or without Dez. I knew he'd show up later anyways, and I headed the same direction I headed to school in this morning.

It had seemed a surprise when I had still seen him there. His blond hair, his height, ripped jeans, and seemed as though he had been in the same spot all day. I had thought nothing of it, and just kept walking. Oddly enough, something was telling me to walk back, and give him another dollar. I keep walking.


Happy 2016 everyone.

So technically, Ally and Austin have met. They just haven't talked yet.
Also, Ally may have a new love interest (we know that won't last long.)

Coincidentally, Calum in this chapter was named after Calum Hood from 5SoS, instead of CW from the show. I thought it was appropriate to name a character after my favorite member of the band, since this story is named after one of their songs.

Song that Austin is singing: Hello - Adele.
