My Freshman Year

2. -ally

i cant remember the first time i saw her.
it was most likely in the hallways during school or at the soccer fields for practice.
i can remember the first time i noticed her, however.
we were at the first party of the year, outside in the dark, music blasting.
everyone was having fun.
she hadnt talked much, and she mainly stuck around with a girl named Hailey.
she was wearing a simple grey v neck, her hair long and straight, and jeans.
i remember the smile on her face as she laughed at something Hailey said.
i remember Julia pulling me away from her as i was starting to ease my way towards her.
Her name was Allison- or Ally.
I couldnt make a move though, i had already gotten myself involved with Julia and i liked Julia, i really did, but she wasnt like Ally.
Later, i found out Ally was hooking up with my best friend.
At the time, I was slightly disappointed, but hey, he had her first. and I had Julia.
At the party, Julia pulled me aside.
"Finn, i cant believe you." She hissed.
"What?" i looked at her, confused.
She rolled her eyes, obviously annoyed.
"You hung out with four girls last week- without me and without other guys." she said.
i struggled to find the words to explain myself, and she walked away.
I bit my lip, not knowing what to do.
I found my best friend, Dominic.
the boy that Ally was hooking up with.
"Julia is ignoring me again." I told him.
He laughed, "look, you just gotta act like you dont care. She'll come back. they always do."
"Easy for you to say." i muttered.
Dominic always got the hottest girls, and no matter how many times he broke their hearts, they always wanted him back.
But nobody warned Ally that she was going to get her heart broken.
Eventually, I said hi to her in the hallways, even though we werent friends.
She returned it with barely a blank stare.
Good job, Finn.
good one.
Dominic eventually introdoced us, and we became friends and i recieved more than a blank stare in the hallway.
One day, Dom called me.
it was around 8 o clock. November 2nd.
"i friendzoned her." he told me.
After hearing his explanation of "i could do better", i hung up.
How could he be such a dick?
Ally called me next.
I could hear the tears and her voice breaking,
i felt sad for her.
"But what did i do that made him change his mind?" She whispered.
"Nothing. Dominic is just being a dick." was all i could say.
She eventually hung up, too.
The next few weeks were hard on Allison.
In school, she never smiled anymore.
Dominic was too much of a pussy to talk to her anymore.
He acted like he was happy around her. Too happy, just to shove it in her face.
One day, i caught her crying.
I didntt say anything, but i wish i had.
