Disclaimer: I don't own Austin & Ally

"Have a nice day!" I smile, as I hand the customer their change. They smile back at me, before walking out of the store. I look out of the window at the scene outside. The freedom everyone out there has. While I am stuck inside here, bored. As soon as the customer leaves, my smile instantly fades. Well, this is what you get when you agree to let your mum sign you up for a part-time job at the local bookstore. Don't get me wrong, I love books and reading, but standing here scanning various hardbacks for minimum wage, is hardly what I would call fun.

I lean against the counter, watching people browse around. Only 2 more hours, and I can go. This is going to be a long day. I decide to write in my songbook/diary, which I take with me everywhere. Some people may call me crazy for doing that, but it has come in handy on many occasions, including now.

I take it out of my bag, along with a pen, and begin to scribble away.

Dear Songbook/Diary,

Today has been yet another interminable day at work. There has been hardly any customers, and it is meant to be one of the busiest days! I bet I get the blame from my boss for the lack of shoppers, because I'm not 'friendly or enthusiastic enough'. It's ridiculous. I am extremely bored, and nothing interesting has happened at all today. I mean, I can't even think of anything to write now! I am going to have to start looking for a new part-time job to a) prove my mum wrong, and b) to get out of this place!

I am cut off from my writing, by a male clearing his throat in front of me. I look up, only to see the captain of the school basketball team and the most popular guy in school, Austin Moon. Did I mention he is a senior? He is only a year older than me, but still! Every girl in school has a huge crush on him. In all of my classes, I can hear at least one of the girls yapping away about how gorgeous his hair looks, or how he smiled at them in the hallway. It is pretty silly actually. I mean, out of every girl in the school, why would he like someone that isn't even his age? That's why I try not to get my hopes up. Yes, if I didn't already make it clear, I may have a little, tiny crush on him. But, can you blame me?

"Hello?" I get taken out of my daydream, by none other than Austin. I forgot he was standing there.

I shake my head, clearing it of any thoughts about Austin. "S-sorry" I reply, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"It's alright" He chuckles, before handing me a book. I look at the title.

"Isn't this a book for 5 year olds?" I ask him, confused.

"Yeah, it's for my little sister, Poppy" He replies, smiling at me. That's another amazing thing about him, his smile.

"Oh" I begin to scan the book, and then I realise what he said. "You have a sister?"

"Yeah, she is 6, and it is her birthday tomorrow. So, I decided to get her this" Austin states, gesturing to the book.

"That is so sweet! This is a good book for that age group" I smile, while putting the book into a bag.

"Thanks, that is good to know" He replies, smiling genuinely at me. "Don't you go to my school?" He asks me. He knows me?

"Yeah, I am a junior" I tell him.

"Oh cool. I thought I saw you around" He says. "It's Ally, right?" He knows my name? He knows my name!

"Yep" I reply, popping the 'p'. "And you are Austin" I state, smiling.

"Yeah. How did you know?" He asks.

"Please! You are the most popular guy in school, and every girl loves you! How could I not know your name" I tell him, instantly regretting it. I sounded completely stupid! 'Every girl loves you'. What was I thinking?!

"Not every girl loves me!" He protests, chuckling.

"Yeah they do! In class, they all debate over which one of them you were glancing at in the hallway"

"Do they? I never notice them staring at me"

"They do! Trust me"

"How would you know? Do you stare at me?" He smirks.

"No! But, my friends all do. I'm in the middle of saying something, and I catch them all looking at you"

"Oh, sorry" He says, smiling apologetically.

"It's alright. You can't help your good looks" Why did I say that?! I am mentally face palming myself right now! I can feel myself going red instantly. This is so embarrassing!

"You think I am good looking?" He questions, once again smirking.

"Well, I would be lying if I said you weren't. It is a fact, not an opinion"

"Whatever you say" He replies.

"Do you want me to find you attractive?" I ask him, now flirting a little.

"I don't care. Everyone else obviously does, so why not you too?" He replies, smirking. Even though he is cocky, he still manages to be charming and cute.

"Yeah.." I say, laughing nervously. That was so weird. I look down at the counter, remembering the bag on the counter.

"Here you go!" I say, handing him the bag. He smiles gratefully at me, before picking up the bag.

"Thanks"

"Let me know whether she likes the book or not! And wish her happy birthday from me!" I call to him, as he begins to walk away.

"Will do!" He smiles, before walking out of the door. He waves at me through the window, as he walks around the corner, and out of sight. I sigh, staring at the place he once stood. I just had a conversation with Austin Moon! My friends will be so jealous when I tell them! I know I sound really obsessive, but have you seen him? I stay cool on the outside, but on the inside I am screaming with excitement. I just talked to my crush! I still can't get over that. Girls in my class would love to even have him look their way.

I grab my songbook/diary once again, and start to write in it some more.

Oh my gosh! I spoke too soon! My day just got better! My crush AKA mr popular/the captain of the basketball team/the cute senior, Austin Moon, just walked in! And, we had a proper conversation! I can't believe it! I mean, I can hardly hold a decent conversation with my dad, let alone the hottest guy in school!

"Ally, stop writing and get back to work!" My boss yells, making me stop writing, once again. I put my pen down, before closing my songbook/diary. I guess I am going to have to finish today's entry, later.

So, tell me what you think! Review/Favourite/Follow!

Stay Rossome!:)
