Chapter 3- She Doesn't Fall

Ally's POV

After a couple steps outside of the music room, I look behind my shoulder and am not that surprised to see that Austin was not behind me. I figured he was still trying to process what had happened. And what happened was that I blew him off and the look on his face made my day. It was quite horrible though, to see that he expects everyone to fall over his smile, and since I was probably the first person to not, it left him shocked speechless.

I shook my head, knowing that I was only one of the few people who knew that Austin had this egotistical side. Everyone else calls it charm or uniqueness when it's anything but.

I swivel around on my heel and head back to the class to see why he still hasn't caught up yet. When I walk through the doors, I burst into a fit of giggles and roll my eyes at the sight in front of me. The famous Austin Moon is standing frozen with his eyes wide and mouth hanging open. It was actually a little bit- very little bit- cute but anyone else would've though he was paralyzed in fear or something. I shake my head and walk up to him, standing a few feet away. I then do what everyone in the movies do. I move my head side to side to see if his eyes follow. Then, I snap my fingers in his face. When he still doesn't move, I draw my eyebrows together. I can't believe that just because I rejected him, he goes into shock mode. I sigh and rub my hands together, not believing what I was about to do. I mean, Ally Dawson does not do this but, the fact that he is so not used to people rejecting him makes me a little frustrated. Who does that? It's like he's never heard of someone not liking him. So, with this thought in mind, I raised my hand and slapped him across the face. Lightly, I think.

The blond immediately jerks back in surprise more than pain and he takes in the scene. Then, it seems like he remembers what happens when his eyes land on me and he playfully touches his cheek. "Hey, that really hurt. I think now you owe me your name as an apology." I fight the urge to scoff and I somewhat wished that I hadn't snapped him out of his shock. But, the sooner he drops the subject, the sooner I can bring him to the office and get away from him.

"I'm Ally Dawson," I say hesitantly. He smiles at this and then says, "I'm Austin Moon. If you wanted to know." I raise an eyebrow and say, "uh… I already do know." We stay a while in silence, not exactly uncomfortable but, I wanted to break it anyway.

"So, if you're ready, I'll take you to the office so you can get your information." I start to walk out but, I look back to see Austin following this time.

Austin's POV

Ally Dawson. That name fits perfectly with her. I sneak a glance out of the corner of my eye and want to frown when I see that she's not staring at me. Why is she not trying to flirt with me? I think this as she leads me to the office and the more I think about it, the more confused I get. No one has ever passed up the opportunity to get me to like them but Ally…

She's probably in shock right now I think. She'll get over it and be all over me. I smile and agree with myself.

Suddenly, a couple of flashes blind me and I inwardly groan when I see the group of paparazzi running towards us. I quickly grab Ally's arm and shiver in surprise when I feel unfamiliar tingles race up my own arm. I shake the feeling away before I can think much about it, and pull Ally beside me as we run down a different hall and are greeted with several doors. Ally then wiggles out of my grip and points towards a door at the end of the hall to the left. I cock my head slightly; confused as to why she would be helping me since she said she would give me to the paparazzi. Then I realize that she must've been lying. Protecting me. I knew she was just in shock.

Ally, slaps me lightly in the arm, encouraging me to move and I follow her to the room. She throws the door open and I see that the room was actually a janitor's closet. It was tight spaced and filled with many different cleaning supplies. Suddenly, the footsteps belonging to the pursuers gets louder and I know that they are not that far behind. I panic and shove Ally into to room with me rushing in behind her. She trips from my push and knocks into the small light hanging from the ceiling. We both hold our breaths and watch as the light flickers, then goes out, surrounding us in darkness.

Ally's POV

I blink to let my eyes adjust but it was still too dark to see anything. Stupid Austin. I shouldn't have helped him. We both stand silently and wait for the paparazzi to come. After what seemed like an agonizingly long wait- when it was actually a couple seconds- with the boy, I finally hear approaching footsteps and murmurs from the other side of the door. It seemed like it got even quieter as we listen to them talk.

"Where'd they go?" "I could've sworn I saw them come here." Then, after some more discussing, the noise retreated and I sighed with relief, thankful that I wouldn't be trapped in here with Austin.

"Thanks Ally," I hear a voice softly say and feel breathing on my neck. My eyes widen and I jump high into the air, later very fortunate that it was too dark to see. At last, when I slow my heartbeat, I turn to where I think Austin was and said, "okay, let's just go." I don't wait for a reply and instead feel for the doorknob before finding it and escaping out of the room and farther away from the boy messing with my emotions.

Austin's POV

I followed beside Ally even more confused than before. So, she helps me and then runs away from me. The thought made no sense. Like seriously, who- I mean who passes up Austin Moon? It's actually not even a question. No one passes me up.

Suddenly, I am pulled out of my little argument and back to reality when screams are heard down the hall. I look up to see a whole crowd of girls running towards me with posters in their hands and pens, ready to write their numbers. Finally, something normal. A smile breaks its way onto my face and even though I see that no one in that group is even close to how beautiful Ally is, my 'boy instincts' take over.

"This is so sweet," I say to myself, unaware that Ally is still beside me. I hear scoff and I turn to see her roll her eyes.

"Ya, just play with all of them until you no longer find them sweet. Oh, and one of them can take you to the office. They'd enjoy that way more than me." My jaw drops and Ally strides away.
