She looked at herself in the mirror and wondered what she did every day. She turned around as her long hair swung around her shoulders. Her torn up grey skinny jeans had words scribbled in sharpie all over them, she smiled at all of the familiar signatures were scattered from seam to seam. She sure did miss her friends back in New York. She would have rather been there instead of this hell hole.

It was her first day back in Miami, and to be honest she was scared shitless. All of the friends she had left… all the enemies she had made. It almost made her miss this place, but there was a reason she left.

Its names were Austin, Dez, and Trish.

Her Jaw immediately clenched as she thought of them.

"Keep your cool Dawson." She reminded herself. She took a deep breath and shrugged on a black and white checkered flannel over her white tank top. She pulled her blonde and brown curls over to one side of her head and twisted it into a braid. The blonde really stood out and made her look edgy.

That's exactly what she had become over the past years, edgy.

After… they ruined her goody-goody life, she had taken a sharp turn. She threw all of her old clothes, traits, personality flaws, and life into the incinerator. She traded the ashes in for a new punkish look. If you took a before and after photo, you would have been shocked. She wasn't Ally Dawson… now she The Ally Dawson.

She grabbed a black beanie and let it drape coolly over the back of her hair. She slipped on her combat boots and finished applying her make up before grabbing her back pack and heading down the stairs. Her brother, David, was waiting patiently at the counter, swinging the car keys around his finger. She smiled and mumbled a 'Good Morning'.

"You excited for your first day?" He asked. She laughed coldly.

"Almost as much as waiting for someone to shoot me in the head." He walked up behind her and rested his head on her shoulder as she poured herself a cup of coffee. She smiled a bit.

"You realize that I would never let a single person touch you if you didn't want them to. " She sighed and nodded as she sipped her coffee.

"I just don't know how hard it will be. Seeing them again…" Her brother let her go and she let the rest of the black liquid in her cup flow down the drain. The clock in the hallway struck seven and she groaned. Her brother rolled his eyes and pulled her by the strap of her backpack out the door. They walked to their black mustang and David started the car. She turned up the radio in hopes of drowning out her fear.

Well that plan backfired.

Austin's voice came flooding through the speakers and she punched the stereo off. Her brother looked over at her and smirked.

"You know, now that people know who you are, you might outshine him." She smiled at that thought. Maybe she did finally have it up on him for once. She tuned it to a different station and heard her own voice coming through:

You were all the things I thought I knew,

And I thought we could be…

You were everything, everything that I wanted

We were meant to be, supposed to be

But we lost it

All of the memories,

So close to me

Just fade away…

All this time you were pretending

So much for my happy ending

"Well it was his fault for doubting my talent. They all paid for it…" She said as the ice ran through her veins. "Look where I am now fuckers." She mumbled and her brother laughed.

She remembered the past year in detail. She went to New York to work for a music company after they heard she had left Starr Records, they took that opportunity to snatch her up. She was back in Florida to prepare for her next tour. Starr Records was setting up three of their most popular artists as her opening act.

She prayed to God every night that it wasn't Austin.

David pulled into a parking space close to the building. She sighed deeply, her breath fogging up the window. Her brother nudged her and she sat back deeper in the chair.

"Come on, you can't avoid it forever. Grab your backpack and get your ass out of my car." He unlocked the door for her and she groaned. She pushed the door open and the sight of her old high school brought a frown to her face. She leaned back down to grab her bag. She grabbed her sunglasses out of her glove compartment and slipped them on before ducking her head and shutting the door.

Her boots made a loud noise as she passed the awed faces of many people. They were asking each other who the new girl was and she just smirked. The guys whistled at her when she passed and she waved flirtatiously. A guy in a football varsity jacket caught her eye with his long black hair and ice blue eyes. He smirked at her and she pulled her glasses down a bit and his mouth opened in shock.

"Holy shit! That's Ally Dawson!" Someone yelled and she turned around and waved to everyone and a couple people screamed. She was suddenly crowded by girls and guys asking her if she wanted to be shown around.

"We would love to! Wouldn't we David?" Her brother nodded as two girls took his arms and stood very close to him and giggled. As she hiked up her bag she felt a hand pulling on of the straps off of her arm. She turned around to see the guy with black hair.

"I'll take that if you want." She smiled and took off the other strap as he slung it over her shoulder.

"Thanks," She looked down at the name embroidered on his jacket. "Luke." He winked and she smiled. Ally leaned over to her brother.

"Maybe this won't be so bad after all." Ally spoke to her brother he laughed in response.

"I'm right there with ya sister." She saw the girls fawning over him and he was certainly enjoying it. As she approached the doors to the school, something caught her eye. Three people were standing on the stairwell and she felt her blood boil.

There they were, standing there and looking at her like she was a fucking unicorn.

She walked up the stairs and they all stepped to the side as she stopped in front of them. They all looked scared and she glared at them. Everyone stopped and they crowded around her as they saw the conflict rising. Luke put a hand on her shoulder, she looked up at him and her eyes immediately softened as she saw him glaring at them. Everyone did the same.

"Is everything okay Alls?" Luke asked and her heart almost melted. She smiled sweetly at him and Austin's eyes narrowed at Luke. She glared Austin straight in the eyes and he seemed to take on a bit of fear.

"Everything is perfect," She sharply glanced at Trish and Dez and they had a slightly feared look on their face too. "Just saying hello to some old friends."

She took Luke by the hand and walked through the doors. Her brother gave her a worried look and she brushed him off. He nodded and all the girls were begging to show him around. He finally picked out two sweet looking girls and the rest groaned and dissipated. As they walked down the hall she had promised a few of the football players and cheerleaders that she would sit at their table. Once they left she had Luke show her around, and as she expected they hit it off immediately. She happily found out that she had most of her classes with him. He promised to spend free period showing her around more. Maybe she could take this a little longer.

"This just got a bit less horrifying." She said happily. He laughed. The homeroom bell rang and he apologized because he had to get to his locker. She nodded and promised she would walk with him to first block. She sighed as he walked down the hall.

"Damn he's hot." She mumbled.

She turned the knob on her locker and popped it open as she put her books carelessly inside. She suddenly felt the room get a whole lot colder and she rolled her eyes. She turned around with an annoyed face knowing exactly what she was facing.

Her eyes locked on the dark eyes of Austin Moon.
