Hello everyone! This is my new story! And I think I've mentioned this story once or twice in Enchanted. Well, as exams are over, here it is! I'm super duper excited to share it with you guys! It's going to be different from my last story. Super different.

And the characters are a little OOC, since it's going to be an AU kind of story. I really wanted to switch things up a bit with the stereotypical fics. Thus, I have written a badass!ally and nerd!austin fic! Hooray! Also, it's going to be pretty short. I believe I wrote 14 chapters for this story... (I'm checking). Yup, 14 chapters.

Anyways, I'm dying for you guys to read this, which means I should probably shut up. :x

I don't own anything! Enjoy!

you said what you said

Austin Moon was a nerd.

And not just any nerd.

He was the nerd of nerds.

And to paraphrase; he was the smartest kid in school.

Austin loved books and reading and writing. It was like heaven on earth. He loved to write stories and hour long essays to his teachers, correcting them on misinterpreted classes. Sometimes, if he got lucky, he teachers would even give him extra homework assignments that he loved doing.

But alas, Austin Moon was a book-loving, essay-writing, blonde-haired nerd with thick glasses that hid his chocolate brown eyes. His shirts were always buttoned all the way up to the top, right under his adam's apple, collar neatly fanning out around his neck. The tail of the shirt would be neatly tucked into his jeans. And his jean cuffs would be neatly tucked in his squeaky clean converse shoes, washed every other day. They were also laced as tight as his grades.

Austin was currently reading To Kill a Mockingbird in his favourite spot in the library. It was the corner where the room tapered a little, hidden in an alcove of bookshelves and other library things. Austin pushed his glasses up with his hand before flipping the page on the novel.

Over the years, he had made the little corner his little escape when he was at school. Of course no one took notice of him. He was Mr. Nobody. Absolutely invisible to everyone's eye. And that was fine with him. He was happy with his books and little group of friends he had made during freshman year.

Austin flipped the page, smiling at how eat ease he was feeling. He had already completed the set of homework his teachers had assigned only hours before. Austin was spending his downtime reading. Just then the librarian walked over to him.

"Afternoon, Austin," she said in her old raspy voice. Mrs. B, the librarian handed him a stack of books.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. B." Austin carefully stood up and took the books in his hands. There were perks to being a huge nobody and a complete nerd. For instance, he was friends with the school librarian. She was the one who suggested he take the corner for himself that many years ago.

Mrs. B had thin, graying hair. She was always hunched over because she always sat at her desk, either reading or clicking away on the computer. She wore an old paisley dress with small flowers dotted on it. She also had a purple cardigan over her dress. She was a widow, as her husband died many years ago.

"Would you be a dear and put these books away, Austin?" She asked in her old voice, placing a hand on her hip as he took the rest of the books. Austin nodded and the old librarian smiled and hobbled away, limping on her bad foot. Austin knew the old widow had a bad hip, and was always glad to help.

Austin quickly shuffled his book at hand away and carried the books to their designated shelves. He knew his school library like the back of his head.

For a nerd, Austin actually had some kind of athletic build. Years and years of carrying around extra books, binders and homework really paid off in the end.

He quickly shuffled the last copy of Moby Dick into its shelf and sat back down on the bean bag chair in his little corner. He picked up his book again and began to read, smiling when he felt right at home.

"Austin?"

Austin perked his head up like a dog when he heard his name. Dez, his bestfriend, was walking into the room. Dez was as tall as him and had a mop of orange hair. He also had a lot of freckles. Austin stood up abruptly, brushing off invisible dust from his jeans.

Dez and a few other close friends of his were the only one who knew about his secret library escape. Heck, everyone knew he hung out at the library. Dez rounded the corner and stood in front of Austin.

"Hey Dez," he greeted. Dez was starting kicker on the varsity football team. Although he was a football player, and supposed to be popular and all, he was just regular ol' Dez. The Dez he knew since kindergarden.

Dez was his lifesaver when it came to highschool and socializing. Dez had already scolded the football team multiple times for trying to beat Austin up. After years and years of that, Austin and the football team were alright with each other. He was even 'buddies' with a few of them. Senior year just started and he actually got invited to a party this time!

"What's up?" Dez said, sitting down. His varsity jacket hung from his shoulders. Austin shrugged, holding up his book proudly to show Dez where he was in the book.

"Almost halfway done and started this morning," he said, grinning. Dez smiled, knowingly at his nerdy bestfriend. Just then, a crowd of people burst through the doors of the library, making Mrs. B wake up from her most needed nap. She grunted before her head went back down to rest in her arms.

Dez looked up with wide eyes but Austin just continued to read as if nothing happened. This happened every single day. The entourage of people would burst through the door during the second half of lunch, looking for nerds to take lunch money from. He was a victim of them of course, but not so often anymore.

The head of the crew was Dallas. He was on the football team just like Dez. Austin and him were kind of okay, so Dallas never bothered him. Sometimes, he would even greet Austin and ask him about his day. Austin thought of him as the good guy of the group, even though he was the head of them.

But of course, with every good guy, there was always a bad one. There was Gavin and Elliot. The bozos of the group. They were the ones who were reckless and always going against what Dallas said. Dallas only had a big crew because he was popular. They weren't even meant to be the bad guys, but with Gavin and Elliot, they were. Usually, it was only Gavin being the menacing one, with Elliot as his sidekick.

And of course, there were always the cheerleaders with their high skirts, hanging on to each arm of one of the football guys. Always trying to get some, no matter how desperate they look.

As cliche as it may sound, it was real.

He did a once over of the group before returning to his book. But he noticed something different. There was someone who didn't want to be seen in the group that usually shined. Austin took a second of his time to look up again. Elliot was holding one of Austin's bookclub mates hostage while Gavin ransacked his bag.

There!

He spotted her. She was in the middle of the crowd, smirking like the little she-devil that all of the girls in the group were.

How did she get there?

Wasn't she just with the basketball jocks the other day?

Austin took notice of these things because no one took notice of him. He liked to keep tabs on people who seemed nice. And tabs on people who didn't.

"Who's that?" He finally asked Dez who was still by his side. He had seen her before. But never took notice. Dez probably knew though. Dez knew everyone, and everyone knew Dez.

Dez suddenly stiffened and narrowed his eyes at who Austin was pointing at. Dez looked at him very seriously.

"That's Ally Dawson. She's bad news, buddy." Dez said. Austin scratched the back of his neck as he returned his gaze to the small brunette in the five inch, black stilettos.

She had pale skin, but looked like she was trying hard to get that suntanned look. Her makeup was done over the top. Smokey eye with eyes lined as thick as an eyebrow. Her plain black crop top rose just a little over, showing a perfectly flat stomach just before it was covered by a length of black studded high-waisted shorts. She wore silver jewellery that adorned her arms, neck and fingers.

"I heard she gets wasted and drunk every night," Dez continued, snapping Austin out of his little analysis. Austin nodded his head acknowledging his buddy. She looked like the type to get into a bout of trouble. Maybe a girl who tried to hard to get it.

"Apparently, she's a huge blow queen. I heard she got suspended twice in junior year because she got pregnant or something." Dez finished. Austin shivered. Girls nowadays. Always wanting to get it. And get it bad they got. Austin closed his book suddenly as a shadow loomed over him. He felt nervous. Usually when people towered over him it was before they started to beat him up.

"Hey Austin."

It was Dallas.

He relaxed a little bit.

"Hey Dallas," he closed his book. Dallas' entourage was too busy laughing over the kid they just beat up. Poor Ernie. Austin stood up as Dallas continued to speak. Dez stood up by his side, just in case.

"Got any lunch money?" Austin looked at Dallas. They used to beat him up for lunch money. But ever since Dez talked them out of it, Dallas had been asking nicely instead. Austin almost wanted to double over and laugh. It happened every now and then, but not often.

Austin jiggled his pockets for spare change. He found two quarters and a dollar. He handed it over to Dallas who just patted him on the back.

"You're alright, Moon." He said. Austin smiled and sat back down on the beanbag chair. Suddenly, Dallas' entourage came crashing through the library, holding up half-eaten sandwiches and pop cans that they found in the nerd's bags.

Austin jumped up visibly. Dez had left when Dallas did. He had came to find Dez for a football team meeting, stopping to ask Austin for money on the way. Austin wasn't paying attention to anything, but next thing her knew, he was flat on his butt. Gavin and Elliot stood with their arms crossed in front of their chests, smirking.

"Austin Baboon," they grinned. Austin grunted. He was about to stand up again when Elliot kicked his foot, making Austin stay exactly where he was. Elliot took his bag from the soft green beanbag chair in his sacred corner and tossed it over to Gavin who ripped it open in one swift motion.

By now, the rest of their entourage was here. The girls were clinging on to their boyfriends and laughed at him. The football guys just roared with laughter as they dumped out the contents of his stuff onto the dusty library floor. Austin watched silently as his books, pens, paper, homework bounced on the floor with thuds. He wasn't even fazed by it anymore. If he just ignored them, they'd go away.

So he'd zone out.

But this time it didn't work.

Austin started coughing as a sharp scent invaded his nostrils. It was that Ally girl. She was walking over to him. Her heels clicked against the wooden floors.

She's bad news, buddy.

"What are you two bozos doing?" She asked sharply. Her hips swayed and Austin could just make out her lower back since she was facing them and not him. Gavin and Elliot stopped immediately. Austin's bag fell to the ground with a pathetic thud.

His books had been scattered across the floors. His pencils were snapped in half. His pages ripped from their notebook hinges. Austin sighed and quietly began to clean up the mess. He heard Ally talk to the two doofuses with a sugar-sweet voice.

As Austin looked up, he was face to face with a pair of brown eyes. It was as if she was the predator, and he was the prey, running for this life. Time seemed to stop. But he so badly wish it didn't. She scared him.

"What's your name sweetheart?" Austin almost recoiled at the way her breath smelled like gum and weed all at the same time. The strawberry gum must've been covering up the fact that she was hitting the blunt before school. She chewed on the her pink gum, popping it right in his face ungracefully.

"Austin," he mumbled. Austin never really spoke to girls. They were a mystery to him. Ally's brown eyes twinkled as she handed him his calculus textbook. Her nails were longer than claws, painted black as dark as the eerie night. He could see his own reflection in them.

"Well, Austin. You've got a pretty face under those glasses." Ally's finger moved his glasses down a little, in which he almost recoiled again. She laughed. "How's about I tell these two assheads to leave you alone, comprende?" She didn't even wait for a reply before she spoke sternly to the two guys. Their eyes had glazed over, and they seemed to not be looking at her face but at her...

"Buh-bye now," she waved at him sweetly. In each hand she held one of the guys ears. Austin watched as she walked away. He quickly began to clean up the mess again, stuffing everything into his backpack. Just then, Dez walked over.

"What just happened?" He asked. Austin shrugged.

"Ally Dawson just picked up my calculus textbook, and told Dumb and Dumber to beat it," he told Dez. Dez looked pained as the news unravelled.

"You have no idea what you're getting yourself into," he wailed. Austin raised an eyebrow at his friend suspiciously.

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you studied the behaviours of animals at all?" Dez said matter-of-factly like how Austin spoke to him sometimes. Austin listened as he continued. "The predator lures their prey and then eats them!" He snapped. Austin almost jumped.

"She's just going to lure you in and then snap! Off with the head!" Dez sighed over dramatically making a gesture with his thumb under his chin. Austin frowned.

"She can't be that bad can she? I mean, if she's still in school," he pondered. Dez just shook his head sadly. His orange hair flew around before resting in its former position.

"In school, she may seem a tad bit better. If you've ever been to a party with Ally Dawson, well. Let's just say, you're not going to want to go to one anytime soon." Dez face showed such a scared emotion that Austin gulped and was genuinely scared. This girl was the real deal.

"How come I've never noticed her before?" Dez knew he noticed everyone, so he asked about it.

"I heard more and more people are trying to get into her pants lately," he told Austin in a hushed voice as the chatter seemed to die down. "She's been moving around from group to group of people," Dez said. Austin frowned. Suddenly, Dez snapped up, hearing a noise coming from the other end of the library.

Austin glanced around to see if anyone saw him flinch at Dez's action. But no one seemed to notice. No one expect for a certain someone with a pair of deep brown eyes, smiling sweetly at him. Austin felt like he was captivated in a timeless infinity. Yet as scared as he was, he couldn't look away. He wasn't sure if he was glad or mad when Dez shook him, drawing his attention back.

"I gotta run," Dez told him. Austin nodded. Dez stood up and walked away quickly, as if he was afraid he said too much or something.

His eyes found their way back to a certain brunette sitting at a table, laughing loudly with a group of people wrapped around her finger. He frowned, wondering if she was always like that. Always wanting to be the centre of attention. Austin shook his head sadly before returning to his book.

Austin was awfully aware of a pair of brown eyes looking his way.
