I am back with a new fanfic! Okay, so this is an AU (Alternate Universe). The story concept was made in around July with a friend but at the time, I wrote it with my original characters. The story was called "Unexpected Love". It did okay but there was a huge time jump which made this complicated. Sad to say, the story was never finished but I still had the idea. So last night, I was looking through pictures and found one and I thought, Wow, I can seriously make a fanfic cover of this. SO I spent about 20 minutes finding the suitable pictures which I did. Then I completed the cover but it needed a title. Then I remembered a scene I wrote in the past which was similar to Unexpected Love but WAY before that. I began to write down whatever was in my brain and by the time it was 1am, I had written half of chapter 1. I couldn't sleep later on. I kept thinking about the ideas which was constantly flowing and so here I am. I hope you guys like it. I woke up at 7am just to write this and I have no school.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own the characters of Austin & Ally. I do, however, own the story concept. If there is any similarities, it is purely coincidental.
Chapter 1
She got out of the old truck and looked at the building in front of her. It was her first day in a new school. Ally Dawson spent her life moving from one place to another ever since her mother died in a car accident and her father causing trouble everywhere he went. Ally looked around. Marino High School is the fourth school she's been to. Luckily for her, she's transferring at the start of the first semester so she wouldn't have to catch up much. As she looked around, she noticed that the students were starting to look at her oddly. Ally ignored them and turned back to the truck.
Her father, Lester Dawson, was inside the truck, smiling at her. Ally walked up to the passenger window and smiled back.
"Have fun in school sweetheart," Lester said.
"Thanks, Dad. While I'm at school, please stay out of trouble," Ally begged her father.
Lester let out a huge sigh and then looked at his daughter. "You know I would but it's been hard since..." he trailed off.
"I know but would you at least try? I'd like to stay in one place for longer than three months," Ally said.
"For you? Of course," Lester said.
"Take care, Dad," she said as she stood away from the passenger window.
Lester nodded then drove off. Ally spun around and took in a deep breath before entering the building.
She looked around and saw that at least it was a decent school. She then went to the principal's office.
"Ally Dawson, please take a seat," said the principal.
Ally sat down. The principal was a middle aged man, about 30 to 40 years old. He had a nice clean cut hairstyle and wore a suit neatly.
"So, Ally Dawson, I hear you transferred from Miami High?" he asked.
"Yes, sir. I did," Ally replied.
"Is there a reason why?"
"I move around a lot," Ally said.
"Why not be homeschooled?"
"I love learning and I rather learn here then at home. I have a... troubled family," Ally said.
"Well, despite all that moving, you managed to score As for all your subjects," he said surprisedly.
"What can I say? I'm a straight A student," Ally said sheepishly.
"Well then, welcome aboard, Miss Dawson," the principal said as he shook her hand.
"Thank you, sir," Ally said. She took back her hand as the principal buttoned up his blazer.
"If you go to the front desk, Ms Thomson would issue you your schedule, locker number and combination. You might want to change the locker combo. A lot of things go missing in this school," he said.
Ally smiled and thanked him again before proceeding out of the office.
"So far, so good," Ally said to herself softly.
When she received her schedule and locker number, she walked down the hallway, hunting down for her locker.
In the midst of walking, she happen to bump into someone. Ally looked up and found a pair of brown eyes staring down at her. She could see the pain and sadness in those eyes. Then she saw the face those eyes belonged to. It was a boy, about the same age as her.
"I'm... Sorry," Ally said distractedly.
He said nothing. His facial features remained unchanged. The boy had bright blond hair, some covered by a grey beanie. He wore a plain white v-neck t-shirt with a leather jacket over it. His jeans were torn and tattered in style and he wore worn out converse sneakers. He wore bracelets on both wrists and wore a necklace with a guitar pick on it.
Ally couldn't stop staring into those sad brown eyes. Before she could say anything else, the mysterious brown eyed Blondie walked away. Ally spun around and watched him walk away. When she turn back, she almost jumped when she saw a plumb girl, slightly shorter than her, in front of her.
"Oh my god! You scared me!" Ally exclaimed.
"Sorry about that," the girl said. "I'm Trish, by the way. Trish De La Rosa and you must be new," she said.
"Is it obvious?" Ally asked.
"Kind of. You're walking down the hallway like a lost puppy," Trish joked.
Ally let out a chuckle. "I'm Ally. I'm actually hunting down for my locker before homeroom," she said.
Ally showed her the locker number. Trish looked at it and immediately smiled.
"Hey! Your locker is right next to mine! C'mon, I'll show you," said Trish excitedly.
Trish De La Rosa lead her new friend to her locker and true enough, Ally's locker was right beside hers. Ally reached up and did the combination in but had trouble opening the locker door even though it was unlock.
"You have got to be kidding me," Ally muttered under her breath.
Struggling with the locker, someone reached out and punched the locker open. Ally looked up in shock and saw that it was the mysterious brown eyed Blondie. His face was the same as before. He displayed no emotions on his face but his eyes were sadder than ever.
"Thanks," Ally said.
Again, he said nothing. He just looked into her eyes. It was almost as if he was looking into her soul but Ally didn't mind. She just looked at him, getting lost in that sad brown eyes in the process.
He then handed her something. Ally looked down and saw that it was her songbook. She gasped. She must've dropped it when the two bumped each other. Ally smiled in embarrassment and took the book from him.
"Thanks, again," she said.
"You didn't read anything, did you?" Ally asked.
For the first time, the guy smiled. The smile didn't touch his eyes, it merely brush against it. Ally's smile widened in amusement. He had a smile. Not any smile, the smile. The kind of smile that has the ability to make any girl swoon.
The brown eyed Blondie took a step back, spun around and walked away. Ally watched him walk away. At the last minute, the guy raised his hand and tilted his wrist to the right with his first two fingers out. It was almost like he was saluting to her, telling her 'You're Welcome'. Ally's smile widened.
When she spun back around, she found Trish staring at her with her mouth opened.
"Trish?" Ally called out.
"That was Austin Moon! No one's seen him smile, or display any form of emotion for so long!" Trish pointed out.
"Really? Why?" Ally asked.
"Rumor has it, his parents died in a car accident a year ago and he was the only survivor. Now he lives with his uncle in Miami," Trish said.
"He rarely talks to anyone. He must really like you," Trish said.
"Huh, interesting," Ally said.
The first bell rang. Ally quickly kept most of her books in the locker and changed the locker combination. Then Trish and Ally headed to their first class, Homeroom.
When Ally entered the class, all eyes were on her. Trish walked passed her and sat down. Ally scanned the room and found the blond mystery at the back of the class, looking amusedly at her. Austin Moon. Ally then found Trish calling at her to seat in front of her. The seat was quickly taken by a tall redhead. Ally looked around and found an empty seat in front of Austin.
"Of course," Ally said to herself.
Before she could make her way to there, the teacher walked in and stopped her.
"Ah, you must be the new transfer. Ally Dawson, is it?" said the teacher.
Ally smiled, "That's me," she said.
"Class, I'd like you to meet Ally Dawson. She's a transfer from Miami High," the teacher introduced.
Ally smiled at the class and waved. Everyone just stared at her with a blank look. Everyone except Austin, who suddenly displayed interest as he leaned forward.
"Welcome to Marino High," said the teacher.
"I'm Mr Fitch. Please tell us about yourself."
"Okay," Ally looked at the class, "Hi. My name is Ally. Me and my dad kind of move around a lot since my mom died from a car accident."
As soon as Ally said that, Austin's face fell, returning to the face she first saw.
"Um... So I don't have many friends since I move after three months but I'm hoping to stay longer in Miami. I kind of like it here," Ally said.
"Thank you, Ally and I'm sorry for your lost."
"It's fine. It's been half a year now. It's still hard but getting better slowly," she said.
"Glad to hear that. Please take a seat," the teacher said.
Ally nodded and made her way to the only empty seat. She sat down and put her bag down. She then felt a tap on her shoulder. Ally turned her head slightly, not enough to see him but enough to hear him.
"I'm sorry about your lost," he said.
Ally almost gasp. He sounded so sad. Almost as if he didn't have the strength to speak. Like he has a huge lump in his throat that he could never swallow.
"I've been there," Austin said softly.
"I know," Ally spun around and gave him a weak smile, "Thank you."
She spun back around, leaving a surprised Austin. The rest of the lessons went by and soon it was lunch. The bell rang and the students jumped out of their seat and made their way to the cafeteria. Austin stood up but then waited as Ally gathered her things. She looked up to find him looking at her. Awkwardly, she picked up her bag and got out of her seat.
"You waiting for me?" Ally asked.
"I'm sorry for treating you so harshly earlier. I had no idea-"
Ally cut him off, "Hey, it's fine. It's not something I would tell someone on the first day," she said.
"I'm Ally," she said.
"I'm Austin," he said.
Ally looked to the entrance and found Trish and the tall redhead waiting for her.
"You wanna join us for lunch?" Ally asked.
"I'll pass but thanks," Austin said.
"See you around, Austin," Ally said as she made her way to Trish.
"Ally, were you just talking to Austin Moon?" Trish asked.
"Yeah, is that wrong?"
"No, it's just... No one heard him speak since his parents died," Trish said.
"That's interesting," Ally said as she watched Austin walk out of the class by the back door. Ally turned back to her friend.
"Anyways, this is Dez. I hate him but he usually do what I tell him to so I can't complain," Trish said.
"Nice to meet you, Dez," Ally said.
"You too, Ally," the redhead said.
"So lunch?" Trish said.
"Yeah, definitely!" Ally said. Then Ally's phone buzzed. She whipped out her iPhone from her pocket and answered the call while she walk towards the cafeteria with her new friends.
"Hello?" Ally said.
"Hello? Is this Ally Dawson?" said the man on the phone.
"This is she. May I help you?" Ally asked.
"Yeah, this is Officer Malcolm from Miami PD. Your father has been arrested for assault. We would like you to come to the station to pick him up."
"Oh god, not again," Ally said.
"Not to worry, Miss Dawson. The victim said that he won't press charges but you should make sure that your father doesn't get into any more trouble," said the officer.
"I've been trying, officer. I'm currently at school. But I have a free period after this. I'll be there as soon as I can," Ally said.
"Alright then. Take care, Miss," he said.
"Thank you," with that, Ally hung up the phone.
"What's up?" Trish asked.
"I'm sorry, I have to go," Ally said. She ran down the hallway towards the entrance of the school. Trish and Dez exchanged looks but eventually just shrug it off and walked into the cafeteria. What they didn't know was that Austin was there the whole time.
Ally stood near the road, trying to hail a cab. Then a car pulled up in front of her. The passenger windows rolled down and she looked inside the car. It was Austin.
"Get in," Austin said.
"What?"
"We don't have much time. Get in," he said again.
Not wanting to argue, Ally opened the car door and entered the car. As soon as she put on the seatbelt, Austin drove off. The ride to the station was quiet. Austin pulled up near the station.
"Thank you!" Ally said as she rushed out of the car and into the station.
The door swung open as Ally entered the building. She went to the reception desk and asked for her father. Soon, Lester Dawson was released and Ally let out a sigh of relief. Lester swung his arm around his daughter for support.
"Where's your car?" Ally asked.
"Back home," Lester said.
When they got out of the station, Ally was surprised to find Austin there, waiting. A smile crept on her face. They approached the car. Ally opened the back door and let her father slide in. Ally shut the door and entered the car and sat at the passenger seat.
"Could you send us home?" Ally asked.
"Where to?" Austin said.
Ally told him their address and Austin drove off. 15 minutes later, they arrived at Ally's building. Austin got out of the car and looked at the building in surprise. Ally got her father out and went into the building.
Ally walked out to find Austin leaning against his car. Ally walked towards him and smiled.
"Thank you," Ally said.
"I didn't know you lived in this kind of place," Austin said.
"It was all we could afford in such short notice," she replied with a shrug.
"Huh," he said.
Ally's house wasn't the kind of house Austin expected. It wasn't big like others in Marino High. Ally's building has very small apartments. Two rooms and a bathroom and that's all.
"C'mon, let's go," Austin said.
He opened the passenger door for her and shut it after she had entered. Austin got in the car and drove back to school just in time for the next lesson.
The rest of the day went by in a blur. The school bell rang and students of Marino High flooded the hallways and the parking lot. Ally walked out of school with Trish by her side.
"So what are you doing later? Wanna hang with you? We're heading to the mall," Trish said.
"Thanks but I have to head home and unpack."
"Alright, see you tomorrow," Trish said.
"Okay," Ally said as she walked away from her new friend.
Soon she spotted a familiar Blondie leaning against a black Harley-davidson softail night train motorbike. He looked like he was waiting for someone. He looked up and the moment he saw her, he smiled. Ally smiled back and walked towards him.
"Nice ride," she said, eying the black beauty.
"Thanks," Austin said.
"What happened to your car?" Ally asked curiously.
"It wasn't mine to begin with," he said.
When Ally gave him a look, he added, "I asked a teacher to let me borrow their car for an emergency. True enough, it was an emergency."
"Well, I owe you," Ally said.
"Don't worry about that. So how's your dad?"
"He's fine, still trying to pull himself together though. But he'll be fine," Ally said.
Just as she said that, an old truck pulled up at the parking lot, a few feet from Austin and Ally.
"Well that's my ride," Ally said as she waved at her dad.
"You're getting on that death trap?" Austin asked.
"It's not that bad. My dad can't afford a new car," she said with a shrug.
"Well, why don't you let me give you a ride?" he offered.
"On that death trap?" Ally teased.
Austin let out a chuckle, "Well played."
Ally shrugged as she let out a small chuckle. "Thanks but I'll pass. Maybe some other time," Ally said with a wink.
Austin raised both eyebrows in surprise as she made her way to the truck. He just watched her.
As soon as Austin got home, he was greeted by his 28 year old uncle, Malcolm Moon, his father's younger brother, who also happens to be a police.
"Hey Austin! How was school?"
"School's school," he said.
"You're awfully happy today. What happened? You're not moping around like you used to," Malcolm half-joked.
"I met someone today. A girl. She's new in school but she's different than others," Austin said.
"You've got a crush," Malcolm teased.
"What? No!" Austin exclaimed.
Malcolm laughed at his nephew and ran away before Austin could do anything. He sat down on the couch and smiled to himself.
That's it for today! I hope you guys liked it. Please review and tell me what you think and if I should continue it. But don't make the review short. Short reviews make me feel sad. But okay. I hope you're having a wonderful day (or night) wherever you are! Until next time!
