I'm No Hero (An Auslly Fanfic)

Chapter 5

The weekend passed by in a flash, soon it was Monday. Austin felt someone poking him while he was sleeping. He stirred and opened his sleepy eyes. Once his eyes adjusted, he saw Ally in front of him.

"Um... Hey Ally," Austin said awkwardly.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he sat up.

"Well, it's Monday and we have school," Ally pointed out.

"Ally," he whined as he looked at his alarm clock, "You woke me up an hour early?"

"School's only about 10 minutes from here by bike or car," Austin pointed out.

"It doesn't hurt to be early," Ally said.

Austin groaned as he flopped on the bed and covered his face with a pillow. Ally walked over, grabbed the pillow from his face and smacked him with it.

"You did not just do that," Austin said.

Ally dropped the pillow as she let out a shriek. She ran out of his room as Austin jumped out of his bed, falling in the process.

"Ally!" Austin exclaimed as he ran after her.

Ally walked down the stairs as fast as she could without tripping. Austin walked down halfway before grabbing the railing and jumped down. Not wanting to injure his ankles, as soon as he touched the ground, he rolled forward and stopped when his feet touched the ground. He stood up and was right in front of Ally. Her eyes widen in surprise. They were so close to each other.

"How did you do that?" she asked, still surprised

"With lots of practice and training," Austin said, walking away.

Ally let out a breath as Austin made his way to the bathroom for a shower. Ally started to explore the house out of boredom. She walked around the house, taking mental notes of the interesting things she sees along the way. Ally stopped suddenly in front of a door. It was different then the rest. It was as if it hasn't been used in a while. Ally reached out for the doorknob.

"I wouldn't do that."

Ally jumped in surprise. She turned around to see Austin standing there. His hair was messy and still slightly wet and it was parted to his right. Austin was wearing a plain black t-shirt with jeans and his sneakers.

"What?" Ally asked.

"Don't touch the door. This was my parents' room. It looks about the same with the other guest rooms but I rather it stays empty," Austin said.

"Oh.. I um.. I'm sorry," Ally said.

"No worries. So we have about half an hour to kill. What do you want to do?" he asked with a small smile.

"How about we walk to school today? It gives us more time to spend together," Ally said.

"That can be arranged," Austin said.

They got their backpacks, slung them on their shoulders and headed out. Austin wore his hoodie and his leather jacket over it and his beanie while Ally wore her coat and scarf with her own beanie. It was a cold day. Austin had his hands in his jacket pocket the whole time while walking beside her.

"So tell me about yourself," Ally said.

"What do you want to know?" Austin asked.

"When did you start playing the guitar?"

Austin chuckled, "Um, I was about 13. I knew what I wanted to be. I asked my parents for my first guitar. They agreed as long as I concentrate on my studies and only take music up as a hobby."
