Love Me (An Austin Mahone Love Story)

Chapter 1

Why can't I go back to California? I spent my whole summer there and school has already started. School is so annoying and it's only September. And this class is so boring. I don't even know why I took history. I should have listened to Allison. She told me that it would suck but I didn't listen.. as always. I don't even have any friends in this class but whatever.

"Amber, are you daydreaming again?" Mrs. Grave interrupted my thoughts.

 "Huh, what?" I answered, not knowing what she was talking about because I didn't really pay attention to her and her lesson.

"You should really start paying attention, Amber." 

Wow, she kinda read my mind. That's so scary. Well, I'm gonna pay attention for the last 5 minutes haha.

I faked a smile and listened to her.

"So class, I've some good news. Instead of a class test we will do a presentation and you guys can choose your partner and your topic. It has to be longer than 30 minutes since it's gonna replace a class test. I repeat, 30 minutes. 15 minutes for each of you."

What?

"You can choose your partners now." 

We're 9 girls in this class and all 8 of them are friends with each other and I guess they'll work together and 99% of the boys don't even want to work with me. I mean, it's a presentation.. we have to meet a lot and prepare it.. shit. I'm fucked.

I looked around.

Looks like everyone has a partner except me.

"Mrs. Grave I can't find a partner." I said as I looked right into her eyes.

"Wait a second.." she told me. "Is there anyone who doesn't have a partner yet?" she yelled so everyone could hear that I didn't have a partner. I looked at the ground.

"I'm sorry Austin, Zach asked first." someone said.

"Assholes." Austin was getting angry.

"Mr. Mahone? Who are you working with?" Mrs. Grave asked him.

"Alone." he answered.

"Oh that's good. Amber doesn't have a partner too. You guys are working together now." Mrs. Grave told us.

"I am not." he answered getting even more angry.

"It's okay Mrs. Grave, I wanna do this on my own." I said to Mrs. Grave.

"Yes you are!" her voice raised. She ignored me. 

"Fine." Austin said and stood up. He left the classroom.

Austin Carter Mahone.

That kid is weird. He is aggressive, bipolar, violent, angry and often drunk. Well, that's what people say about him. People told me to not talk with him when I came to this school. He is heartless they said. People always talk bad about him and I'm not sure whether to believe them or not. I mean, I'm new at this school. They're probably right. Why should they make up rumors? I really hope Mrs. Grave won't force him to work with me because I'm not good at communicating with people, especially violent ones. I've never made experiences with that kind of people before. To be honest, I'm the innocent girl who always listens to her parents and tries her best  to get good grades and stuff. Sure, I have some problems and sometimes I'm depressed and I don't have a perfect life but I try my best to make life worth living.

I'm not like most of the girls in this school. They go out almost every night, get drunk and party all day while I stay at home and spend my time behind a laptop. My life is actually pretty boring. 

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard Mrs. Grave mumbling something.

"Uh, excuse me?" I asked her politely.

"Nevermind." she said.

"Mrs. Grave, I'd love to make this project alone. It's okay. It really is. If he doesn't want to work with me than it's fine by me."

"No Amber. You and Austin are going to work together. I am your teacher and I decide."

I stayed silent.

I don't know him. He doesn't know me. We never even made eye contact. He doesn't want to work with me. Why is Mrs. Grave so stubborn?

Finally, the bell rang. I literally ran out of class to meet my bestfriend Allison. After school I went to Allison's. I decided to stay the night since my parents weren't at home this week.

The next morning I woke up pretty early. I looked out of Allison's window. The sun was shining and there were just a few clouds. It wasn't too cold or too hot. It was a perfect fall weather. I borrowed some clothes from Allison and got ready for school.

I wasn't really looking forward for school. I was still really unsure about that history project. I mean, it's just a project he could at least give it a try. I told myself to give him a chance I hope he'll give me a chance too. 

Me and Allison walked to school together. We didn't really talk because we were tired as fuck. We talked until 4 o'clock in the morning and we just had like 3 hours of sleep. The worst thing is that history is my first class on fridays. 

"See you later." Allison said to me before she gave me a hug and made her way to her class.

"Goodmorning class." Mrs. Grave said as she entered the room.

"You guys can start with your project." she added.

I decided to make the first step.

"Hey." I said to Austin.

He didn't even look at me. That kind of hurt. Why can't he just try to be nice?

"Heyy." he answered in an annoyed tone.

"Look, I know you don't wanna wo-"

"It's okay. Mrs. Grave told me that our topic is Shakespeare. Tomorrow at 3. I hope you know where I live." he cut me off.

I hate it when people interrupt me.

"I don't kn-"

"Good. I gotta go now."

"Bu-"

"See you tomorrow." he said and left.

What the fuck. Why does he fucking leave me alone. There is still 85 minutes left, we could start with our project but no Mr. Mahone decides to spend his time somewhere else and leaves his partner alone. I'm definitely not gonna do this work alone.

I don't even know where he lives.
