HEY! So this is my first Austin and Ally fanfic, so please go easy on me. This first chapter is actually more of a prologue. I'm also currently working on my other House of Hades fanfic, so unless people really love this, it's going on the back burner. Please let me know, and I DON"T OWN AUSTIN AND ALLY!

Austin's P.O.V.

Austin stared at the limp body in front of him.

He honestly hadn't meant to hit her that hard on the head. He had meant it as a joke, bouncing the basket-ball off her head, then catching it again to make his friends laugh. He had done it a couple times to some other nerds. Except this time he had did it a little too hard.

Coach came running up behind them. He gave Austin a disgusted look before bending over and flipping the petite figure over. Austin didn't really know her. He had seen her around of course, but he made it a point not to associate with nerds and such. Even though in reality, he was on too.

But he was also the high-school bad boy. A title that he prefered.

The other kids in the gym class gathered around, no doubt grateful for a break from class. Austin's so called friends snickered. He actually only had one friend, a weird red-head named Dez. How they became besties, not even they knew, but Dez was the only one who knew all of Austin's secrets.

Austin stared again at his victim. He thought that her name was Alicia? Alany? He couldn't remember, even though she had been in all of his classes since kindergarten.

Her skin was pale, her body thin and frail looking in her baggy gym clothes. She was definitely a nerd. Then the name popped into his head. Ally. The only reason he remembered was that she had always been given awards for different nerd things, and that she was apparently already being scouted by Yale, even though they were only juniors.

She moved slightly, mumbling something. Coach let out a relieved sigh, before signaling to Trent and Dallas, two from Austin's posse, to carry her to the nurse. As soon as they left, coach turned to Austin.

"What the heck Moon? Hit the showers, then head to Principle Delanie's office ASAP!" He shouted, before turning his attention back on the group. As Austin started to walk away, a short Latina girl gave him the evil eye. He figured she was one of Ally's friends or something.

He changed and showered quickly, running a hand through his classic disheveled hair. He was definitely going to get the heat for this one. He walked down the halls to the office, where he waited for the secretary to show him in.

The Principle stared at him with a bored look on her face. This was a usual thing for them. He would get in some trouble, come down here for the pep talk. Get stuck with a week's detention, then be jolly free. It was down to clock work.

Mrs. Delanie shuffled through some papers on her desk, before resting her chin in her hands and turning to Austin. She let out a dissatisfied sigh.

"Mr. Moon, it seems we meet again. What was it for this time?" She asked in a monotone voice. Austin explained the accident.

She shook her head sadly. "When will you learn?"

Austin shrugged, causing her to squint. She did that when she was thinking.

"Unfortunately for you, Mr. Moon, that was your fifth offense this term. I had really been hoping that you could've waited till after winter holidays to cause more trouble, but it seems you have an agenda of your own. Under normal circumstances, a suspension would be in order."

"Please-" His eyes got wide with shock. He couldn't be suspended. But the principle held up her hand to cut him off.

"However, you do have the potential for being a top student. I've been informed that even though you don't do any class work, you still manage to get a hundred percent on all your tests. How you do fathoms me, but that's not what's important. So instead you'll be spending your winter holidays volunteering at the orphanage."

"My entire winter break?" He couldn't help but squeak out. She had to be kidding. But she simply shook her head solemnly.

"I've already informed your parents. You'll be there Monday through Friday, from 8am-6pm. No skipping any days, or else a suspension will occur. Perhaps your time with the less fortunate will make you analyze your actions in the future."

He sighed. He really did not want to volunteer at the orphanage. But he even more so didn't want to be suspended. He sighed inwardly.

He was going to have to spend his entire winter break at an orphanage.
