So, this is a spoiler, and if you hate spoilers, then do not read this. If you have read the first chapter of Jealousy & Jellybeans on Fanfiction, then congrats! You can see the next chapters before anyone else can! The only reason why I am doing this is because for some reason I can't log in and upload chapters on Fanfiction on this laptop, so I'll have to copy & paste the document and add it. And, also, some of the story may be cut off cuz I don't have a chance to finish. This is the WHOLE ENTIRE STORY!!! So enjoy:'''

Chapter 1: Expired Jellybeans
Austin’s POV 

“Austin!” I heard someone yell. I quickly turned around, and saw Cassidy standing there.

“Oh! Hi, Cassidy.” I said. Cassidy felt my forehead.

“Are you okay, Austin? You’ve been acting different.” Cassidy said. “Course I’m okay!” I said.

“Did you hear what I said?” Cassidy asked. I nodded.

“Yup…I sure did!” I lied.

“Then what did I say?” Cassidy asked. ''Crap it! I hate it when people do that!''

“You asked me if I was okay!” I said. Cassidy shook her head.

“Before that!” Cassidy said. I shrugged my shoulders.

“Uh…you were talking about…corn?” I tried. Cassidy shook her head.

“No! I know something’s not right, and I’m gonna find out what it is.” Cassidy said, and left. I continued to do what I had been doing before…stare at Ally. I really liked her, but for some reason I was too afraid to tell her how I feel. I had never had that problem before, and I don’t know why I suddenly had it. Trish walked into Sonic Boom wearing a goofy Smoothie outfit, sipping on a smoothie.

“Guess who got a job at Smoothie Party*!” Trish said. Ally walked over to her.

“Smoothie Party?” She asked Trish.

“Yup! I can get free smoothies!” Trish said and took a sip of her smoothie. Ally rolled her eyes.

“There’s no eating in the store.” Ally said, taking the smoothie from Trish’s hands.

“But this is a drink.” Trish said, taking the smoothie back.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“There’s no drinking, either.” Ally took the smoothie and threw it in the trash. Trish groaned.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Thank you.” Trish said sarcastically. Ally rolled her eyes again. Then she turned to me.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin, what are you doing?” She asked me. She caught me!

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Staring at you…these jellybeans.” I quickly caught myself. “Staring at these jellybeans.” I grabbed the jar of jellybeans that a customer had left there. Ally grabbed the jar of jellybeans out of my hands.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“There’s no eating in the store.” Ally said, and dropped the jar in the trash can. I shrugged my shoulders.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“So…have you been working on the new song?” I changed the subject.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">But now Ally wasn’t paying any attention to me. I looked to see what she was looking at. I groaned. Dallas. I hate him so much. ''Why does Ally like him so much? They have so much in common. What does he have that I don’t have? Apparently Ally’s heart.'' Dallas walked over to us.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey Ally.” Dallas said. I picked up a magazine and pretended to read it.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey…Dallas!” Ally managed to say.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“C-can I talk to you for a moment?” Dallas asked her.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Uh…sure!” Ally said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Could we do it in private?” Dallas asked Ally.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Kay!” She led him outside.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">I wondered what he wanted to tell her. I hoped he was gonna tell her that he hated Ally’s guts and that he never wanted to see her again. But I knew in my heart that he wasn’t gonna tell her that. To pass time, I began thinking about Ally. I loved the way she smiled, and that made her look even more beautiful. I know sometimes I would make fun of her dancing, but I still love her. I needed her so badly. Sometimes I thought she was gonna kiss me or say she loves me, but then Dallas appeared and I didn’t exist. Dez walked into the store.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hello everyone!” Dez said. We waved. He looked at the trash can.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Jellybeans!” Dez exclaimed, and took the jellybeans out of the can. He opened it, and began eating them.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Dez, you idiot, Ally threw those away!” Trish said, and snatched the jar out of his hands. She looked at it. “And these expired in 1999!”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">I couldn’t help but laugh. Dez had begun eating jellybeans that were 13 years old.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Really? Awesome!” Dez said, and took the jellybeans out of Trish’s hands, and continued to eat it like nothing.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You are so gross!” Trish exclaimed. I peeked at them. They looked perfectly fine to me. I took one out and popped it in my mouth. I chewed it, then swallowed it.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“That tasted so gross!” I said. Trish smacked me. “OW!”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“They’re 13 years old!” Trish said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“They’re ancient jellybeans!” I said smiling. Trish rolled her eyes.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You two are unbelievable!” Trish said. Just as I was about to say something, Ally came running inside looking extremely happy.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey guys!” Ally said. She began to do one of her horrible dances. I covered my face, but then she moved my hands and hugged me. I would’ve enjoyed it, but I was too busy being afraid of being squeezed to death.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Ally…can’t…breathe…” I managed to say. Ally stopped hugging me and laughed.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Sorry!” She said. When I remembered how to breathe again (don’t say anything about that) I looked at Ally.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Someone’s in a great mood!” I exclaimed. Ally nodded. “Did you write a new song?”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“It has nothing to do with music!” Ally said. I raised an eyebrow.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Did it have something to do with what Dallas wanted to tell you?” Trish asked. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!!!!

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yes!” Ally said. I rolled my eyes. Of course it’s a yes.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What did he tell you?” I said a little too angrily.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“He told me that…are you ready…he loves me and wanted to be my boyfriend! And I told him I wanted to be his girlfriend! And so we’re going out!” Ally said. Trish and Ally began squealing. Then they stopped. “And…he kissed me! ON THE LIPS!!! 3 TIMES!!!!!!!” Ally shrieked and began dancing horribly again.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Dez began clapping. So did Trish. I stood there for a moment, before sarcastically saying “Woo” and walked out the store.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">I noticed Ally stopped dancing or whatever that was she’d been doing.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin, isn’t that…?” Ally’s voice trailed off when she noticed I wasn’t there. “Austin?”

Chapter 2: Heartbroken (Very long chapter)
<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Ally’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey, have you guys seen Austin? I haven’t seen him since last week.” I asked Trish and Dez the next week at school.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“He’s somewhere in this world.” Dez replied, putting a label on a jar of jellybeans.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Thanks.” I said sarcastically. “What are you doing?”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I’m putting a label on a jar of jellybeans.” Dez said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Why?” Trish asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Because I’m gonna sell it. Ally, these jellybeans are 13 years old!” Dez said. Trish rolled her eyes and smacked her head.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Dez, if those are 13 years old, wouldn’t they be all brown and moldy, with flies and gnats flying around?” I asked. Dez shook his head.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No.” Dez said. Trish rolled her eyes again. She changed the subject.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey, Ally, I know why Austin hasn’t been seen for a week.” Trish said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You do? How come?” I asked a little too eagerly.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“He’s upset.” Trish said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“About what?” I asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You.” Trish said. I put my hand on my hip.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Was it because I ate his pancake last week when we had breakfast?” I asked. Trish and Dez gave me confused looks.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No…” Trish said quietly. I sighed.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">That was funny. I went to Austin’s house last Thursday and I guess I fell asleep in his bed, and Mrs. Moon made pancakes, and we were eating them, and I was really hungry, so I took Austin’s pancake off of his plate, forgetting that he LOVES pancakes…I mean LOVES them…

<p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">~FLASHBACK~ 

''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Ally!” Austin says. ''

''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What?” I ask him, my mouth full of his pancake. ''

''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You ate my pancake!” He says. ''

''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You want it back?” I ask him. He nods. ''

''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yeah, I kinda do!” He exclaims. ''

''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“It goes down…” I say. Austin shakes his head. ''

''<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You can have it.” He says. I can see the anger in his eyes. I smile. ''

<p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">~END OF FLASHBACK~ 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Earth to Ally. Earth to Ally!” I heard Trish yell. I jumped.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Huh? What?” I asked quickly.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I was gonna say that Austin’s upset because you’re dating Dallas!” Trish said. I raised an eyebrow.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Why would he be upset about that?” I asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Because he’s jealous! Jealous that you’re dating Dallas and not him!” Trish said. Dez nodded in agreement.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“That’s pathetic, Trish.” I retorted.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Come on, Ally! It’s totally obvious!” Trish said. I shook my head.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yeah, Ally. Have you seen the way he looks at you?” Dez asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yeah. He looks at me like I’m pretty…no I haven’t seen the way he looks at me!” I snapped. Trish and Dez laughed, and Dez saw Kayla Moore walking past us. Dez ran over to her.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hi, I’m Dez. How would you like to buy a jar of 13 year old jellybeans?” Dez asked Kayla. She gave him a long look and knocked the jar out of his hand.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Why the heck would anyone buy something that retarded?” Kayla asked, then walked away. “It’s only $5.99!” Dez shouted at her.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Go suck a brick, Dez!” Kayla shouted back. Trish and I laughed. Dez groaned.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I’m gonna go see if more people wanna buy this.” Dez said, picked up the jar, and left. I turned to Trish and crossed my arms.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Why would you think Austin’s jealous of Dallas?” I asked Trish.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Well…think of it…as soon as you said Dallas kissed you 3 times on the lips and that you two had begun dating…Austin looked really upset…and then he walked out the Sonic Boom and you haven’t seen him since.” Trish said, as if it were obvious.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Clearly you haven’t seen the girls he goes for.” I said. Trish rolled her eyes.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What’s that supposed to mean?” Trish asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“It means that he’s always around the most popular girls in school. And…he’s dating Cassidy…the most popular girl in school. It’s like she runs the school.” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I see…but I still think he has a crush on you.” Trish said. I hated that she and Dez BOTH thought that Austin wanted to be my boyfriend instead of Dallas.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Don’t say that! And if it were obvious, how come you and Dez are the only ones who think that?” I asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“We’re not the only ones who think that!” Trish said. She looked around the hallway and grabbed a girl I had seen before, but never knew her name or anything.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey Avery.” Trish said. Okay…

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey Trish. What’s up?” Avery asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Fill in the blank. Austin Moon is in love with blank.” Trish said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Ally?” Avery said without hesitating. My eyes got wide.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Thanks for playing.” Trish said and let go of her hand. Avery walked away.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You told her to say that!” I screamed. Trish sort of pushed me to the ground.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Shh…people are watching!” Trish said. But I ignored her. I saw watching Austin go to his locker after hanging with…Cassidy.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“There’s Austin!” I said, and walked over to him. “Hey Austin.” Austin glanced at me, then continued to rearrange his locker. I tapped on him saying “Austin” until he told me to be quiet.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Oh…so now that we’re back in school…you only wanna hang with the cool kids. Well, I will let you know, that I am very cool.” I said, and started dancing. I could tell Austin was trying not to laugh.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No…it’s just that I thought you would be with Dallas, your boyfriend.” Austin scoffed. I didn’t know what to say, so I ignored him.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What happened to you last week? You just…disappeared on us.”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I was sick.” Austin said a little too quickly.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What happened?” I asked. Austin looked at me with a weird expression on his face.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I had…uh…tuberculosis.” Austin said. Liar!

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin…” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What?” He asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Do you even know what tuberculosis is?” I asked him.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Course I do…I had it.” Austin said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Tuberculosis is an infectious disease.” I said, rolling my eyes. Austin’s face was suddenly as red as his shirt.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I knew that.” Austin said. I laughed. He didn’t.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin, what’s wrong?” I asked him. He shook his head.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Austin’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Crap! I couldn’t believe I told Ally I had an infectious disease! That was SO stupid! And I was not telling her I laid down in bed crying my eyes out like a 2 year old girl all week. Not even a pancake made me feel better. Yeah, that’s how sad I was.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Nothing.” I said, not looking at her.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“C’mon, tell me!” Ally whined. She grabbed my arm and pulled it in the middle of the hallway. Well, tried to pull it. I knew I was being stubborn, but I didn’t know what to say.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Stop it! You’re gonna tear my arm off!” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Tell me what’s going on!” Ally screamed, STILL pulling me. People started looking at us.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Ally, people are staring!” I whisper-shouted.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Tell me!” Ally said, ignoring me.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No!”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yes!”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No!” I yelled.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yes!”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Let go!” I shouted. Ally ignored me. “Alright, I’ll tell you!” Ally let go of me and smiled.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Okay!” Ally said in a girly tone. ''I gotta think fast! How about I was in a coma? Nah, that’s pitiful. How about I was kidnapped by an evil mermaid? That’s a great idea! No it’s not you retard!''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I was with Cassidy.” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“And why did you act like it was all personal?” Ally said, smacking my arm.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I don’t know.” I said. Ally looked at me with her beautiful brown eyes.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Oh! Before I forget…I gotta tell you something Trish said.” Ally said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What was that?” I asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“This was pathetic…she said that you were jealous of me dating Dallas!” Ally said, and began to laugh. I didn’t say anything. It really hurt me when she said it was pathetic. ''That’s what you get for falling in love with her. Shut up and don’t talk to me! How can you not talk to yourself? I don’t know…no…this is pathetic.''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yep…really pathetic.” I forced a laugh. On the inside it felt like she tore my stomach out and shoved it into my—

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Right.” Ally said. “I mean, why would she say that?”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Don’t know.” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Ooh! There’s Dallas!” Ally shrieked and ran toward him. I wanted to cry so badly. I slammed my locker shut, then I turned the combination on it, then opened it, then slammed it. I did that 5 times, and gave my locker a good, hard kick. My locker had a dent in it.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“OW!” I said. “Stupid locker! I hate you! You deserve to die! You stole Ally from me!” ''Am I seriously blaming my locker for this? Yes stupid. And am I yelling at my locker instead of Dallas? Yes stupid. Stop calling myself stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! ''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Arrghhhh!!!!!” I yelled. I saw people stare at me and begin whispering. I ignored them. I just cried. Yeah, a 15 year old Internet sensation began to cry at school in front of a bunch of people. No, that’s'' pathetic. You’re pathetic.''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin, what the heck????” I heard Cassidy ask.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“My locker.” I sobbed. She turned around and saw it.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What did you do??” Cassidy asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I got mad.” I sniffed.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Did you say something about Ally Dawson to your locker?” Cassidy asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Why are you asking so much questions?”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Cause I’m curious!” Cassidy said. I stopped crying. ''I know what I must do. It may be risky but it may make me feel better. And I may prove to Ally that what Trish told her is NOT pathetic; that Dallas is. First, I must do this:''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Cassidy?” I asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin?” she asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“This isn’t working out.” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Course it isn’t! Look at it!” Cassidy said, thinking I meant the locker.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Not the locker…us!” I said. Cassidy looked at me.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Us?” Cassidy asked quietly. I nodded.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yeah…”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“So…you wanna…break up with me?” Cassidy asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yeah…” I said. Cassidy looked like she wanted to throw me off of a cliff. I wanted to throw Dallas off of a cliff. “Really?” Cassidy asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Really.” I answered.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Fine! I don’t care! I never even liked you anyway!” Cassidy screamed, and then stormed off. I didn’t even feel sorry for her.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Ally’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“…and then he said it was pathetic, too!” I said. I had just finished telling Dallas about Trish’s pathetic statement. But Dallas didn’t laugh like I had. He frowned.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I think Austin was lying.” Dallas said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What?” I asked. “Austin would never lie to me about something like that!”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I think he would.” Dallas sort of snapped. I gasped.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Dallas!!” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“It’s true! That’s what I think!” Dallas said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What? No!” I yelled. Dallas actually thought that Austin was jealous! “Yes!” Dallas yelled back. “I keep thinking he wants to make you fall in love with him so he can steal you away from me.”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Stop saying that!” I put my hands over my ears. Dallas pulled my arms away.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“And I also think you feel the same way.” Dallas said. I wanted to scream really loud and hit something hard. It was so weird that suddenly Dallas thinks it, too!

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Dallas, I don’t!” I yelled, holding back tears. Why was he doing this to me?

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Ally…” Dallas said. ''DON’T SAY IT! DON’T SAY IT… “We may need to break up.” MAN HE SAID IT!!!!''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Dallas…I don’t have any romantic feelings for Austin! You should believe me!” I screamed.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Goodbye Ally.” Dallas said, and walked away. I fell to the floor, letting the tears flow.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Austin’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">It felt pretty good that I dumped Cassidy, but I still didn’t feel better. I still wanted Ally. I wanted to do something horrible to Dallas. ''But if you do that, you’ll make Ally hate you. Will you stay out of my life? I am your life. GAHHHHH!!!!!!!!''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Just then, the principal walked by. Slowly he looked at my locker. “My office…” The principal said, and I reluctantly followed him. “You are gonna pay for that.”

<p style="text-align:center"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height: 115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">~AFTER FIRST PERIOD~ 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">After I missed first period for making that dent in my locker, and after the principal yelled at me for “vandalizing school property”, I went to my dented locker to get my things. Just then, Ally walked by me, along with Trish and Dez. “Whoa!” Trish and Dez said at the exact same time.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Long story…” I mumbled. Then I turned to Ally. Her eyes were red and swollen. “What happened?”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Dallas broke up with me.” Ally said. ''HALLELUJAH!! WOO HOO!!! YAYA!!! AWOOOO!!!!! THIS IS SO GREAT!!!! I HAVE A CHANCE WITH THE LOVELY AND TALENTED ALLY DAWSON!!!!!'' I wanted to dance on top of the lockers and scream at the top of my lungs. Ally dropped her jaw.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin!” Ally shouted. “You were smiling!”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I was?” I asked dumbly. Course you were, idiot!

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yes! You wanted Dallas to break up with me, didn’t you?” Ally asked. Yes.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No…it’s not that…” I started, but Ally cut me off.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Then what is it?” Ally asked. Trish covered her mouth. Dez was chasing a kid down the hall raising a jar of jellybeans. I think it was the one that was 13 years old. “It has nothing to do with you or Dallas.” I said. Ally could see right through me.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin! You’re lying to me!” She shouted. I could see the tears forming in her eyes. This crap she’s saying just came out of nowhere!

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No I’m not, Ally!” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yes you are!” Ally said. Trish ran away. The two of us just watched her leave.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Ally…”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Did you even want to be my friend?” Ally asked. No! I wanted to be more than friends! “Were you just pretending to be my friend just so you can get even more famous? Do you even like me? Were you using me?”

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No!” I said. ''This is such a random argument! Where the heck did it come from???''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Or is it that you just didn’t want me hanging with Dallas?” Ally said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“That could not be more true.” I admitted.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“How come?” Ally asked, sounding a little bit nicer.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Because I love you…your songs! You and your songs! It’s just that…I miss you. I really want to write more songs with you. And I’m starting to have some ideas.” I said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Then prove it.” Ally said, and walked away. I didn’t understand what the hell was going on, and of course I was gonna find out. But first, I had to talk to Trish, since she was the one who started this chiz*. And I also needed to talk to her about those jellybeans.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Ally’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">At school, I mostly laid my head down on my desk crying. I wanted Dallas back. I just didn’t understand why some people think Austin and I would be a great couple. I mean…we wouldn’t. We’re total opposites. And just because Austin is SUPER hot, doesn’t mean I have to go out with him. ''Wait…did I just say Austin was SUPER hot? ''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">And then suddenly the only thing I wanted was to be wrapped in Austin’s warm, muscular (not really) arms. Then I wanted to write him a new song. Sitting at the piano bench, us really close together, smiling and singing. Then he would say something, and I would impress him with my extreme coolness. Then he would say something really mean, but he would be either trying not to smile, or actually smiling. Then we would hug and talk, and then we would look into each other’s eyes…wait…what?

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“ALLY.” I heard. Trish was standing there.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What…? Thinking about Austin…no way!” I said. ''Crap I blew it. ''Trish pointed at me.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Aha! So you do like Austin back!” Trish said. I rolled my eyes.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No.” I said. I really didn’t. Did I?

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Then why did you just say that?” Trish asked. I sighed.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I wish I didn’t yell at him. I want to apologize.” I said. ''Not exactly a lie. I just didn’t say all the information.''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Then do it! Apologize to Austin!” Trish said. I shook my head.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“He’ll be with Cassidy. They’ll be making out.” I groaned. “And why is that so bad?” Trish asked. I tucked some of my hair behind my ear.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Because every time Austin is around Cassidy, I’m nothing.” I said. Did I just say that?

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Must be pretty bad.” Trish said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You have no idea…” I said very quietly. Just then, Cassidy walked by us. She did NOT look happy.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Hey Cassidy.” Trish said. Cassidy gave me and Trish a dirty look.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What?” She said angrily.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What’s wrong?” I asked politely.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“You!” Cassidy screamed at me.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Me?” I asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yes!” Cassidy said.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What did I do?” I asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“YOU MADE AUSTIN DUMP ME!!” Cassidy said, and tried to attack me, but Trish held her down. I did WHAT???

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“What?” I asked. I was horrified.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Austin dumped me because he likes you. No, he loves you!” Cassidy roared.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“WILL YOU PEOPLE STOP SAYING AUSTIN LOVES ME??” I roared back. I was sick and tired of everyone saying Austin loves me, or has a crush on me! HE DOES NOT HAVE A CRUSH ON ME!! THERE IS NO ROMANCE BETWEEN US!!! ''Is there Ally? Is there? ''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“WELL YOU KNOW IT’S TRUE!!! WHY DON’T YOU GO ASK HIM?” Cassidy screamed.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“I WILL!” I screamed back, and I stomped to the left of the school.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“AUSTIN IS ON THE OTHER SIDE.” Cassidy yelled. I stomped over to the right side of the school.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Austin’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">I saw Ally running toward me, but I ran into the boys’ bathroom until I was sure she was gone. I peeked out, saw no sign of Ally, and casually walked out. Then I saw Ally walk right back to me. I really didn’t wanna talk to her, considering the fact that she broke up with me (I mean our friendship, BTW). I walked back into the boys’ bathroom and repeated the same thing 3 times before the bell rang. ''Good. I don’t wanna talk to Ally. She hates me.''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Ally’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">I ran to my next class, panting. I guess Austin was pretty good without me. I sighed. Ping. I checked my phone to see what the text message said:

''' <span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Just as I was about to text back, the teacher, Ms. Davis, said something.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Trish? Ally? Are you texting in class while I’m giving a lesson?” Ms. Davis asked.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Yes.” I admitted. Trish shot me a dirty look.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Give me the phones. They’re mine till the end of the day. But first, read the text messages out loud in front of the class.” Ms. Davis said. Trish rolled her eyes. We both got up out of our seats and walked to the front of the classroom.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Did you apologize to Austin.” Trish read.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“No he kept running away from me.” I read. Some people snickered.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Do you know why.” Trish read.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Of course not it’s all your fault.” I read back.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“How’s it my fault.” Trish read.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“If you didn’t say Austin wanted me to date him instead of Dallas then Dallas wouldn’t have broken up with me and I wouldn’t have to apologize to Austin.” I read, rolling my eyes. More snickers.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Whoa whoa whoa. Are you blaming me for this. You didn’t have to go blabbing it to Dallas.” Trish read. I rolled my eyes again.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">“Thank you. Give me the phones.” Ms. Davis said. Trish and I handed her the phones, and she put them in a container. We sat back down. I put my head down on my desk and didn’t move until the bell rang. I would have to apologize to Austin in Gym.

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">Austin’s POV 

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">It was time for gym. I would have to face Ally. But I had an idea. Maybe at the school dance I could perform a song for Ally. ''But what song? A Billion Hits? Nah. Double Take! That’s the reason why I’m famous! No. Break Down The Walls? Never actually got to perform that one. No…how about Not a Love Song? That’ll refresh her memory. Yeah! That’s a great idea! I am so smart! But I came up with it. Wait…you are me! Okay, this is getting ridiculous.''

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;mso-bidi-font-size:11.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:JasmineUPC">After I changed in the locker room, I sat down on the floor. Cassidy sat next to me. Just my luck. I moved away to where Dez was sitting.
