Austin Moon was never a fan of the whole "school" thing. It wasn't as if he didn't try but he never understood what was going on as well as Ally or even Trish. Plus, it didn't help that his English teacher was literally the meanest man ever.

Mr. Colahan had a small nose that pointed out like a beak, and thinning hair. He'd stand in front of the class and talk with his sugary sweet voice as he assigned a hundred pages of reading that was due tomorrow.

There were of course a lot of groans, but knowing that the kids would do this Mr. Colahan threw some lollipops at every kid in the class, except for Austin. The young blond stared on as his classmates sucked on lollipops.

After explaining the homework for a few minutes, Mr. Colahan dropped off a test on Austin's desk. The young man eagerly picked up. He had studied so hard on this and was positive that the grade would be at least a B. That's why he was shocked when the test turned out to be a F.

"Sir, I studied so hard for this and I'm sure that this isn't an F," Austin said without raising his hand. He was expecting the teacher to take back the test and realized that he had graded wrongly but the reaction Austin got shocked him.

"Young man, the grade that you got on your test doesn't matter to me or anyone in the class. You earned that F and since you spoke out of turn you'll be spending a week with me for detention," Mr. Colahan sneered as the other kids in class laughed at him.

Austin seethed and was more than happy when the bell finally rang for class to be over. He quickly picked up his things and basically ran from the classroom. To his horror, Mr. Colahan's rant had spread around the school.

"Austin! Is it true that Mr. Colahan yelled at you in the middle of class?" Ally asked as she ran over. Austin nodded and tried to make her quiet down. He was already embarrassed enough as it was.

Ally apologized as the two walked over to their lockers. One of Ally's attractive male friends waved at her, and she waved back with a little blush. With some shock Austin realized that it bothered him.

The pair weren't alone for long. As they made their way to their lockers, the two were suddenly joined by Trish and Dez. For two kids that said they hated each other, they spent an odd amount of time together.

"Dude, I would have used some major kung foo on that old dude," Dez said as he basically jumped in place. Austin was going to ask Dez what he was doing but he realized that the tight yellow pants were probably cutting off circulation to his legs.

"YEAH! That would have shown him, and also would have gotten me expelled," Austin said as Dez stuck out his tongue at him in defeat.

Trish was more understanding but she had no idea why Austin and Mr. Colahan had such a problem with each other since every other kid at school loved Mr. Colahan.

Austin frowned, that was true. Every kid in the school was constantly talking about how awesome Mr. Colahan was and how he was the best teacher they've ever had, even though he gave a lot of homework. It was as if the man kept all his anger towards Austin and no one else.

A part of him wondered why that was, but then Austin realized that he didn't really care. Besides, he was too busy anyway. He had to learn some new dances and Ally was going to write him a new song tonight.

"Hey, do you want to go grab a bite to eat before we have to go back to Sonic Boom?" Trish asked the other three. They agreed and the group of four walked off to the local pizza shop. Little did they know that something weird was going on at that very moment.

"Austin, I'll spend detention with you tomorrow too. Mr. Colahan likes me, and I've got to study for English anyway," Ally said. Austin silently thanked her, at least he didn't have to spend alone time with that crazy man.

But, as Austin looked back he was surprised to see a new kid walking around the school. He'd only met the kid once and couldn't remember his name. He did remember something about a costume party.

"Oh my gosh, Ethan! I didn't know you came here!" Ally smiled, and that's when Austin remembered. This was Charles Lindberg from the costume store. Ethan came over and instantly kissed Ally's hand.

"Hey Ally, I'd love to stay and chat but I have some business to take care of. Do you want to go get something to eat after school tomorrow?" Ethan asked, and was instantly disappointed when Ally said she was busy. Austin was ecstatic; she was busy because she wanted to spend some time with him. Not Ethan.

With some satisfaction, Ethan looked as though he had been slapped in the face. But, just as soon he composed himself and said that he had to run. Austin couldn't help but think he saw a sly smile from the brunette.

Roy Colahan quickly packed up his things and stalked away from the school. Every few seconds the older man would look behind his shoulder and make sure that nobody was following him.

He groaned, this cover up was a complete joke. He hated pretending to be a teacher and hated the kids even more. Sure the boss told him to "be nice" to every kid but Roy hated the little blond runt more than anything.

The old man finally got to his destination: an old looking house that looked as though it hadn't been used in years. He kept off the lights; the boss didn't like to be seen by anyone, even his own employee.

Roy waited for a few moments and wondered if the boss was even going to show up. That's why he was so startled when he heard a noise behind him.

"You're here early, for that you should be expecting another five hundred dollars in pay," the boss said. His voice was mechanically altered. "I assume you have the target in sight and have planned to be alone with him as soon as possible. Remember, I want him unharmed."

The older man told his boss of the plans, and the dark figure nodded. The cloaked figure reminded the older man that Ally Dawson especially was not to be injured. But, in an instant the figure left the house. Roy Colahan shivered. It was impossible to know how old his boss was, or if he was even human.

For a moment Roy felt guilty and bad for the young Austin Moon. But, then he remembered that he was being paid good money for this and the guilty thoughts immediately melted away. Plus, the blond was getting too successful, and the only person who deserved to be successful in this town was him.

Austin Moon was in for the surprise of a life time tomorrow during detention. But, little did Roy know that Ally Dawson was planning to join Austin in detention.
