Chapter 4- She Doesn't Fall

Hi guys! So, the last chapter was of the second day of school in September and I have decided to skip the normal school stuff and move onto Winter Break so…

Without further ado, to the chapter!

Ally's POV

"Class! Please focus on the- class!" My legs bounced up and down in annoyance and I watched as our English teacher, Mr. Conley (from Backups & Breakups) , put down his textbook and strided over to a big group of students in the corner of the room. I also turned my head to look at the group and -of course- it looks just the same as on the second day of school. This meaning that smack dab in the middle was Austin Moon.

I huff and focus on my pencil, rolling it around on my desk. I couldn't believe that it was already December and it had been already four months but still, everything was the same. This meaning that the posters have only multiplied and the music has only gotten louder. I didn't understand how I was still the only girl not completely wasting my time with the spoiled star. Like I said before, it had been four months and Austin was still an egotistical player. He walked down the halls like he owned them, his smile plastering his face when girls surround him and even worse, he accepted Dez's offer and made it onto the football team. Now, he was the schools most popular boy- more so than before. And, how do I know this you might be wondering? Well, ever since that little outburst I gave him a couple months back, it seemed to have really impacted him. I don't care that I hurt his feelings though. It was completely rude, hearing him say that he was basically going to play with all those sweets. Anyway, afterwards, Austin seemed to have made it a point to always trail behind me and talk- no flirt- with me whenever he had a chance. Of course, I ignored him but that only made him more persistent.

I snap out of my thoughts and glance at the clock on the wall. I sighed when I saw there were only a couple minutes until the bell. I wish I could stay in English forever. Reason is because Mr. Conley was the only teacher that didn't care that he was "the Austin Moon. Teen god," as everyone decided was the perfect label. He was the only teacher I have meet who wasn't swayed by Austin's charms to get anything done his way either. It was peaceful, to finally have a class where the teacher was not okay with playing music in his class.

"Would be even better if the singer wasn't here," I whisper under my breath. But, apparently, I have horrible whispering skills because the boy himself comes to stand in front of me with a smirk on his face.

"Oh, looks like someone has me on their mind," he says while stepping to the very front of my desk. I stop myself from rolling my eyes and instead, huff out a breath. He had obviously not understood my words. But, before I had a chance to say anything, the ring pierced through the air and English was over.

I smile and start to pack up my things. After zipping back up my pencil case, I stand up and slightly, very slightly jump when I see Austin towering over me with the same smirk on his lips. I stare up at him- stupid height difference- and challenge him to speak with my eyes without wanted to waste my breath on talking. That was a mistake.

"Aw, is Ally speechless at the sight of me?" Austin asks and then steps closer, again. His brown eyes become a slight shade darker and he focuses his intense gaze on me, hoping for a break. Too bad I don't care.

"Why are you always following me? Do you miss me that much?" I fire back at him, smiling as I see his eyes widen. I keep our gazes locked while I circle around him and then I look away as I walk out the door, finally understanding the term 'Happy Friday.'

Last period…

I walk into the music room and plop down in my usual seat. I quickly flick my gaze around the room and see that I am pretty early. It was only me and the teacher. So, I shift lower on my chair to get in a good position and then, through all the stress of homework, my job and the Austin fan craze, I do something that I have never done before. I slowly relax and my eyelids close before I fall asleep.

Austin's POV

I walk into the music class, glad that the day was soon going to be over and we would be starting winter break. It would be nice to have my first long break after I moved to Miami. I move to my assigned seat at the front of the class and see that the class was still empty, besides me and the teacher. Then, I hear the quietest noise and turn to see Ally curled up in her chair, her small hand moving up to rub her nose. She must've sneezed. I then do a double take when I realize that Ally was sleeping. She was sleeping. I might've been new to this school but even I learned fast enough that Ally was the smartest and best student here. I never would've thought that she would pass out at school.

The longer I sat staring at Ally, dozing peacefully in the chair, my mind wandered to my other thoughts I've had of her recently. The most repetitive one being, why is she resisting?

Never have I come across someone like Ally. Even when I wasn't famous yet, girls still threw themselves at me because of my looks and charm. I must admit, that the feeling of being crowded and screamed at was getting a smidge overwhelming but... no, never mind. I am totally okay with being distracted from my school work and building a horrible player rep. Yeah, its fine. Anyway, I also didn't understand why Ally was so… bold with me. I mean, the thing she said on the day I met her about me… doing the… Moving on, I have never and will never do that to a girl. Even though I could get many girls, I would never do that unless it had meaning behind it. I would do it with someone I truly had feelings for. You know what? This is getting uncomfortable now so… let's continue.

"Hey Austin!" A girl, who I knew was named Brooke, came up to me. She stood so close that we were inches apart. Even I didn't invade Ally's personal space by this much. Ally. I'm thinking about her again. I shake my head slightly to clear my mind and look up.

"Hi Brooke, how's it-?" I stop short when the air leaves my lungs. This is because Brooke decided to suddenly drop into my lap, making me gasp in surprise.

"Austin Moon knows my name! He said my name!" Brooke squeals while in my lap and I hear many screams in response. That's when I realize that the classroom had filled up while I was lost in my thoughts. Then, I hear a familiar voice sigh and I whip my head around to see Ally slowly shifting in her seat. My heart rate sped up and I suddenly felt wrong. Without thinking about it, I quickly jump up and send Brooke to the ground. She looks up at me and my sudden feeling of alarm disappears and is replaced by guilt. I reach down and she grabs my hand immediately. Then, she swiftly pulls herself up and catches me off guard by wrapping her arms around me.

"Thank you Austin! You saved me! You are so strong" Brooke exclaims, causing all the other girls to squeal and run up to me too. They all wrap their arms around me and clutch onto my clothes like I might leave them. Oh Gods. I look around the room at the other guys in the class are giving me jealous looks and then a voice rings clear and sounds very annoyed.

"You've got to be kidding me right, Austin?" Ally says from behind me, looking very fumed even though she just woke up. "Can't we just have one class without all of this?" She raises her hand and gestured to my position.

And I had nothing to say.
