Chapter One

I'm New and My Name is Austin

Austin's POV

I sat at the kitchen table eating my chocolate chip pancakes. It was 7:50 am and I wanted to die. My mom, dad and I just moved here from Seattle, Washington. To tell you the truth I don't like big cites I'm glad we moved here. But I don't like meeting new people really and I'm not good at making new friends. I'm surprised I even had friends at my old school. I mostly just kept to myself.

"Austin, honey, are you ready for your first day of your new school?" My mother walked in with a smile across her face. She had such a cheery voice in the morning, it's awful.

"Oh yes, mother. I am just dying to get to school." I say. My voice was dripping with sarcasm.

But she smiled at me and said, "Well good."

I rolled my eyes, stood up and sat my plate in the dish washer.

I walked to the front door picking my backpack up. I walked out the door. The sun shined in my face and I heard birds chirping, I wasn't in the mood for this shit.

My mom dropped me off and told me to have a good day. I told her that it was unlikely and got out. I walked to the main office and got my schedule and locker number. After that I walked to my locker and put my backpack in it. I saw a goose run by. I shake it off and grab my English book. My first class. I was about to walk to the room but someone bumped into me.

"Woah I'm sorry, I was trying to catch my goose."

I looked up and saw a tall red headed boy. I stood up. "Oh, it's okay. I love getting knocked down to the ground."

The boy smiled. "Well okay." Then he stared at me for a few more seconds. "Wait, I haven't seen your face around before. Are you new?" He puts his hands on his hips.

I nodded. "Yep I am."

"Cool, my name is D-"

Two brown haired girls ran up behind him, one had wild curly hair and the other one had blonde highlights coming up from the ends of her hair.

"Dez, did you get the goose?" The wild curly hair one asked.

"Does it look like I have a goose in my hands?"

She stared at him very mean like.

"I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean to say that." He was getting nervous.

The girl rolled her eyes and looked at me. "Who is this?"

"Well I was going to tell him my name before you interrupted me." He looked back at me and smiled. "My name is Dez."

I nodded and smiled too. "My name is Austin."

"My name is Trish." Says the wild curly haired one.

We all look over at the girl that was silent. She was chewing on her hair. It was odd. Trish nudged the girl in the stomach. She shook her head and waved.

"Tell the boy your name," Dez says.

"Ally," It was more like a whisper. She flinched and moved her head towards the ground.

Trish smiled and looked at me. "She's not good at meeting new people."

I nodded but continued to stare at Ally.

"Dez, we still need to get your goose." She said quietly.

"What...Oh yeah, well bye Austin. We gotta catch a goose." He and Trish began running in the direction of the goose.

The girl Ally stood there for a second and stared at me. I was going to ask her a question but she ran away. I watched her run. She wasn't really good at it. I smile and walk to my class.

I found out that I some of my classes are with Dez and Trish, but all of my classes are with Ally. Trish and Dez talked to me in the classes but Ally didn't. She just sat in the front and drew on her papers.

My classes are this.

-Free Period

All my classes are one hour long and I freakin' hate it.

Right now, I was roaming the halls. It was Free Period. Most of the people that did have it were juniors and they left school. I had to wait for my mom to pick me up at 3:30.

After walking around like an idiot I found the library. I don't really enjoy it but it was the only place left. I entered and the aroma of old book pages and fresh new ones filled up my nose. I began walking down the aisle with horror/fantasy. I guess I was too caught up in looking that I tripped over something.

I sat up on the floor and rubbed my head.

"Ow,"

I turned around it was the Ally girl. "Oh I'm so sorry."

She stared at me for a few seconds. Then she shook her head. "N-no, I'm s-sorry. I shouldn't b-be sitting in the f-f-floor." She began to pop her fingers and fidgeting, looking from left to right.

I wanted to reach out and tell her everything was alright but I didn't want to scare her.

"It's okay. I wasn't looking." I smiled.

She looked over at me and calmed.

I sat beside her and look at her book. "Whatcha reading?"

She had to look at the book herself before she answered. "Wake By Lisa McMann." (That book series is amazing!)

"What's it about?"

She glanced at me before she spoke again. "I-it's about a girl that can go into people's dreams."

I nod. I didn't really have anything to say. I guess she didn't either because she just sat there staring at the floor.

"So you're new?" She said.

I nod again. "Oh yeah, I'm the new kid."

She giggled softly. I liked the sound of it.

Wait, what? I don't even know this girl. For all I know she could be an assassin. But I doubt that assassins looked this pretty.

"I remember when I was the new kid." She said.

"Were people nice?" I asked.

She shook her head. "Not really," She smiled a little. "That's why I'm glad I met Trish and Dez."

"They've always been nice?"

She shrugged. "Trish wasn't at first. But she warmed up to me."

I nodded. "Well that was nice of her."

She nodded a little.

The bell rang, it startled her. She jumped and stood up. "I-I-I'm sorry. I ga-gotta go." She turned and ran towards the exit.

I stood up and watched her. "Ally?"

My mom picked me up right at 3:30.

"How was your first day of school? Did you make new friends?" She asked.

"It was fine and yes I did."

"Oh, goodie." She smiled and pulled out of the school's parking lot. "What are their names? How did you meet them?"

"Well they were all chasing after a goose." I say.

My mom looks at me funny. "A goose?"

"Yeah. Anyway one is named Dez; the other is Trish and then Ally. But I don't know if Ally is my friend." I say the last part quietly staring at the floor of the car.

"Oh why? Is Ally mean?"

I laugh, "Complete opposite, she hardly said anything to me."

"Maybe she's just a shy girl, Austin." She says. "Remember you were very shy at your old school."

I shrug and turn the radio on.

I laid in my new bed that night staring up at the sky. I had my parents install a see through roof, so I could see the sky at night. I always had a secret love for the stars. I would never tell anybody that. I couldn't help but start thinking of the Ally girl.

I liked the way her eyes shined when she smiled. And her hair, I really wanted to touch it just to feel it's softness.

Woah, woah, woah, wait….I just met the girl. And it seems like she doesn't even want to be acquainted with me. But I still couldn't help but think of her bright smile. I rolled my eyes and pulled the covers over me. I closed my eyes and I was soon greeted with sleep.

Yay, thanks for reading this. Please review and tell me if it's horrible, sucked or possible was awesome. Again thank you for reading. Tell me if I should update :)
