Zander's POV

Kasey Simons. That name was all over the school and as clichéd as this must sound all over my heart. Yeah, I have a huge crush on the lead singer of our band Gravity 5. And I would tell her too, if it weren't for Tony Cardella. Apparently that one date at the mall led to many things, and now he was her boyfriend. Uggh, I was supposed to be her boyfriend, but look at what happened. I stopped thinking about this as the girl in my thoughts suddenly appeared looking really upset.

Kasey's POV

I really hate people. Not true, I just hate people. Also not true, I hate boys. That's a lie I hate one boy in general. I hate my now ex-boyfriend, Tony Cardella. It turns out that he didn't know that when going out with one girl, you don't make out with another. He is as stupid as Miss. Perf, Grace. And that is saying a lot. As I was thinking about this Zander walked up to me. "What's wrong," he asked.

I replied a little rudely, "Wow Zander, I can't believe that you are thinking about someone other than yourself for once." He looked really hurt. Wow Kasey, nice push away the one person that cares about you right now, I thought.

Zander replied to me, "I think about you all the time, Kasey." He blushed a little at his comment. I sighed.

"I'm really sorry, Zander. I didn't mean it that way, you are really sweet. I'm just really upset right now."

"Well, you could mope about it. Or you could tell me what's wrong and I could try to fix it."

"You think you could fix Tony Cardella's messed up head?" He seemed a little taken back by this. I went on to explain how he had cheated on me and what a big idiot I was to believe him.

"Kasey, you're not an idiot. He's one for letting someone as awesome as you go," he replied to me. Just then the bell rang. I gave him a kiss on the cheek as thanks, and saw him go red. If only he knew that I really just wanted to pull him close by the collar on his t-shirt and kiss him, long and full on the mouth. I realized that I never felt that way with Tony. I sighed again as I went to class.

Zander's POV

I'm pretty sure Kasey saw me go red when she gave me a kiss. She probably meant it in a friendly way but I knew I wanted more. I just couldn't help myself when I gave her a compliment. I'm pretty sure she knew that I truly meant it. I wanted to tell her how I felt, and how beautiful she was, and see her blush at those comments. So, later that afternoon I did just that.

Kasey's POV

I asked Zander if he wanted to walk home with me, and he said yes. And I'm really glad that he did because it turned out to be a really good idea. I was walking with him just bitching about Tony and how I hated him, and Zander was just listening. So we were walking and suddenly Zander stops me from going on, "You know that complaining is just going to make you feel worse right?"

I sighed because I knew he was right. Instead of saying so I just nodded. He smiled at me, "You need to get over him Kasey. You are a beautiful girl and you could do so much better than him."

I blushed bright red at this and did the one thing I had been waiting to do. I grabbed him by his collar, pulled him real close, and kissed him. I felt him kiss back, and I slid my arms around his neck. He put his arms around my waist, and I'm pretty sure that we had been there for a while. When we pulled away for two reasons, one because we were in a pretty public place, and two because we're human and need air, he smiled at me. "Kasey, will you be my girlfriend?" As a response, I kissed him. This time it was short and after he dropped me off at my house, he texted me. I'm kind of okay with the fact that Tony cheated on you. He gave me the one thing that I had been wanting for a while now, you. I think I just fell in love.
