Ally's POV

Hi, my name is Ally Dawson. I'm 17 years old, and I go to a school called Marino High. I wish I didn't though. You see, I get bullied there by this popular clique called the "Central". They call themselves that because they are the center of the school. My main bully is this guy named Austin Moon. I don't know why he bullies me, I've never done anything to him. Of course, I get bullied by the rest of the group , but he does the most to me. Good thing I have my best friend Patricia De LaRosa, but I just call her Trish. Last time, I tried to call her Patricia, and she almost had my head. Literally, she tried to choke me. I know she would never do anything to hurt me though. We've been friends since kindergarten, when she took my juice box. But anyway, I'm glad to have her because she always has my back when ASStin Moon picks on me. I live with my dad, and we live pretty good. As for my mom, she died when I was 6 years old. Though, before she died, when she was on her hospital bed, she told me to keep something. It was a leather book, kind of worn out, that had the letter "A" on it.

*Flashback*

"Here, sweetie, have this." My mom, Penny Dawson said, while passing me a book I've seen her write in millions of time, with a hoarse voice.

"What's this?" I asked her as I reached to take it gently from her, as if I was going to break her.

"It's a book I wrote in every time you achieved something. And since I won't be able to do that anymore…..I want you to do it. Let this be your diary, and since you love to write songs so much, your songbook. And, one day, when I see you again, I want that book to be filled with all your adventures, tragedies, school grades, opportunities, dreams, even romances." She tells me.

I blush a crimson red. I was 6 at the time, but I still knew what she meant.

After zoning out a few minutes, I hear a long beep. My world stopped, and I'm pretty sure my heart did too. I turn my head to see my mom pale as a ghost, and lieing down, with her eyes shut. I knew what happened. Doctors came rushing in, but everything was blurry. I saw my dad, Lester Dawson, come over to me with tears in his eyes. He told me something, but I just saw his lips moving. My face was blank. As my dad was gently pushing me out the door, I took one last glance at my mom. The doctors were trying to save her, but even, I, a 6 year old, knew that they couldn't save her.

But I still had that book, so I still had her with me.

*End of Flashback*

"Ally, you're going to be late for school!"I hear my dad yell. I quickly throw on my hot pink skinny jeans, with white flowers on them, and my hot pink tank top with a white jean vest. I looked in the mirror and almost scared myself half to death at what I saw. My hair. I quickly brushed my hair, put it in a high ponytail, slipped on my pink All-Star converse, grabbed my book bag, and jogged downstairs.

"There you are!" my dad says.

"Here I am!" I say, while passing by him to get to the toast in the toaster. I look at the clock and see that it's 7:20. I have to get to school by 7:30.

"Bye dad, love you!" I say to him, as I kiss his cheek.

"Bye, sweetie, have a good day!" He tells me.

I nod, even though I know I will not have a good day today. I push that thought away and climb into my red Cadillac. I drive to school, and get there just in time. 7:25. I climb out of my car, and run towards the doors of the school.

Though, before I get there…..

"Sup, cupcake?" I hear a very familiar voice behind me. And I know exactly who it belongs to.

No other than, ASStin freaking Moon.

"Dammit." I curse under my breath.

I don't want to turn around, because I know, If I do, it's about to go down.
