A/N This is my first fanfiction for the site. It's Austin&Ally obviously. I hope everyone likes it! PLEASE review, it would mean a lot to me! I love writing, and would love you know your opinions on my skills, and what you think I may need? Just don't be harsh. :) Hehe. Also, I tend to make short chapters, but a lot of them. So, yeah! I'll try to update often but I'm very busy with school and cheerleading and blah blah blah. Anyways, I digress. Here we go!

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Austin&Ally nor am I associated with it in any way. All characters belong to Disney, however, I created Ian. All I did was twist the story line. I also don't own the song "Never Say Never" by The Fray, nor am I associated with The Fray. I ALSO don't own the original image of my cover, but I edited it.

"How are you feeling, Ally?" Dad asked me as I packed my backpack. "Nervous," I admitted.

My name's Ally Dawson. I've been homeschooled- until today. Today will mark the first day of my Junior year, and, I don't really know what changed my mind, but I want to attend Miami High School. I only have one close friend that goes there, her name is Trish. I just hope I can fit in okay. She actually spent the night with me last night so that I could walk to school with her and she could help me pick out my outfit. I heard her coming down the stairs now.

"Oh, I'm so excited!" She squeaks loudly, "You're gonna get to meet so many new people, Ally! And you're so sweet, everyone will love you."

I grin. "Thanks, Trish."

My dad hugs me, tells me he thinks I'm making a good decision, then leaves to go to Sonic Boom. I help out there after I finish class sometimes, but he says I can have a few weeks off to socialize and get to meet new people. He's great. It's hard not having my mom around since she's in Africa, but I'm okay.

Trish grabs my hand and pulls me out the door. The school is so close to my house, there's really no need to drive. Besides, I won't have my license for another month, and Trish's car is at her house.

I push some loose hair behind my ear as we walk, and Trish rambles on about the two jobs she's had this week. I feel butterflies in my belly, and I'm glad I didn't eat any breakfast. I would've been sick.

I can see MHS now. It's big; really big. Look at all those teenagers! Wow.

"This is crazy!" I murmur to Trish as so many kids- some younger than me, some older- stare at me as I walk with Trish to her locker. Mine is down the hall from hers but I've decided to stick with her as best as I can today. I only have one class without her, Advanced Physical Science. I'm not too worried though, I've always been good at science.

"Hey, Trish!" I hear an excited voice say. Trish slams her locker to reveal a tall, red-headed, goofy-looking boy standing there. "Long time no see!"

Trish sighs. "I saw you yesterday Dez, remember? At Austin's 'End of the Summer' party?"

This guy- Dez, I guess- suddenly looks as if he remembers and says "Oh yeah!" Then he sees me and looks confused again.

"Oh!" Trish exclaimed, "This is my best friend, Ally. Today is her first day at MHS, she's been homeschooled all years until now!"

Dez nods. "Cool, cool. I think you told me about her before. How come she didn't come to Austin's party? Like all the rising juniors and seniors were there."

"I didn't want to come," I say quickly, "I wanted to get plenty of sleep for today."

Trish nods. "I went to her house after the party last night. I tried to get her to come, trust me." She pulls a tube of lip gloss out of her large purse and begins to apply it. "So, Dez, how does it feel to finally be a senior? Lucky you."

Dez's face lights up with a huge grin. "It's awesome! Austin and I are gonna make this the best yea-"

Just then, the bell rings, and Trish and I realize we haven't even been to my locker yet. "Gotta run, see ya Dez!" Trish calls, and we scurry off.

As we walk to our first class, I begin to wonder who this so called Austin is. He seems insanely popular, from what I've heard so far. I've even heard Trish talk about him and Dez some, the three of them seem to be pretty close.

As we sit down at our seats in class, a boy walks in. He has bleached blonde hair and a cute smile. He's wearing a tight grey shirt with ripped jeans and blue shoes. He has a guitar pick around his neck.

He comes and sits next to Trish, and nods at me. "Is this Ally?" He asks. And she nods quickly. "Ally, this is Austin Moon."

Oh, well, I guess that answers my question then, doesn't it? No wonder he was so popular. He was gorgeous.

"Hi, I've heard all about you from Trish. She never shuts up." I blush.

"Neither does Ally once you get to know her, trust me." Trish huffed, and Austin chuckles. "She seems kinda quiet right now. Don't worry, she won't be for long. Welcome to the real life of a Miami teenager, Ally. You're gonna love it."
