A/N: Hi people! So, this is my first fanfic, and I, honestly, don't know if it's too good, but I think you'll like.
PS.: I'm not American, I'm Brazilian, so my English isn't very good... But any grammatical mistake I make, please tell me.
I don't own How to Rock or any music mentioned in this story.
Chapter 1:
Stevie's P.O.V
It was a common Tuesday July, and we were all in the bandroom, rehearsing the songs to play at our next show: Nelson was testing the keyboard, Kevin was training on drums, Kacey was rehearsing the lyrics, and Zander was helping me with the notes for me to play my bass.
I think unnecessary Zander want so much help me, we wouldn't play anything I didn't already know… even more than I who taught him to play bass, and now he was trying to teach me! I mean, I know we have to rehearse a lot… the ball is here to 24 days, on a Friday, and for the first time, only Gravity 5 will play there (well, has a DJ, but it doesn't count). But I don't think I need help.
I started playing my bass in the correct rhythm of the music, as I always used to play, for show to Zander that I knew what to do, but he said:
"Great! But I think you should try to play with a little more… excitement! You know, not to look like you only memorized the notes…!" I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, feeling ridiculous what he was talking about. I had memorized the notes and I don't care about it.
"Here, let me show you." He says, taking the bass from my lap and starting to play.
He played pretty much the same thing that me, just… looked like he was playing with a little more harmony, with the rhythm more… don't know… intense?
When he was finished, I took my bass back, looked at him with a mocking smile and I muttered: "Screened!" He laughed with a little arrogance, "Typical Zander" I thought. But, when he laughed, I felt a slight blush rising to my cheeks: I was flushed! "Strange" I thought "I really don't know why this happened to me…" Zander, of course, noticed the rosy tone of my cheeks and gave another smile. I just rolled my eyes and ignored him, concentrating again on my bass.
Zander's P.O.V
I heard Stevie mutter "Screened" when I finished to playing your bass, I laughed, feeling victorious, but when I looked at her, I realized she had blushed. "I just do Stevie Baskara blush?!" I thought, and I couldn't help but smile at the thought. After that, Stevie just rolled her eyes and concentrated on her bass.
At this time, Kacey up from the chair where she was and said:
"Ok, guys. Now let's play 'Go With Gravity'. From the beginning." She sent, walking to the microphone. We went to our positions, starting to play, and she, singing:
"Yeah, yeah yeah yeah
Gravity, gravity
I'm going over, I'm falling free
Don't care if no one's ever there to catch me
I'll close my eyes, and I'm gonna let it be
I'm gonna go with gravity, go with gravity
Feel the wind in my hair, spinning me around, around
Caught in mind-air, not afraid of nothing now, no
Take a breath, and take a chance, let it take me away
I'll never the weight of the world pull me down"
I was paying attention to every note Stevie played during the song, and she was playing the way I said!
"I'm going over, I'm falling free
Don't care if no one's ever there to catch me
I'll close my eyes, and I'm gonna let it be
I'm gonna go with gravity, go with gravity"
At this time, Kacey's phone vibrated, she frowned and reached out toward the phone, which was on the couch, as if trying to catch it, but continued to sing:
"Maybe I should trust, maybe this is fate
It's okay to fall 'cause I'm a get back up again
I'm going over, I'm falling free
Don't care if no one's ever there to catch me
I'm going over, I'm falling free
Don't care if no one's ever there to catch me
I'll close my eyes (closing my eyes)
And I'm let it be (oh-oh-oh)
I'm gonna go with gravity, go with gravity
(Gravity)"
"Great, end of the test!" Kacey said, as she picks up your phone and the other things on the couch, and out of the bandroom.
"Yes, it was very good!" I said, looking at Stevie, and winked at her, meaning I liked she had played the way I said. She, obviously, understood, 'cause rolled her eyes smiling. I smiled back.
Kacey's P.O.V
As soon I leave the bandroom, I get my iPhone to see who sent me a message. I unlock the screen and go to the app 'messages' in 'inbox', and what I see is a Tony Cardella message:
"Kacey,
Would u like to go to the ball with me?
~Tony"
"Aaahhhh!" I scream of happiness in the school hallway. Some people stop and give me strange looks. I just ignore them. "Tony Cardella want to be my date at the ball! I can't believe it!" I thought "I mean, yeah, I believe! Also, who can resist me?"
I unlocked my phone again and click on the bottom of the message page to answer:
"Of course, Tony! I would love it! :D
~Kacey"
I reread the message. I look very desperate! I delete what I typed and rewrite:
"Yes, why not? :)
~Kacey"
I send the message and, after a few seconds, my phone vibrates again:
{Tony/Kacey}
Cool! Will I pick u up at 19:00 in your house?
No, I'm going early for the ball with Gravity 5… I see u there?
Ok, so I see u there :)
Bye :)
I lock my phone again and put it in my bag. When I'm almost to the cafeteria, I stop in the middle of the hallway, remembering one thing: Gravity 5 would be the only band to perform at ball, the DJ will only perform at the end, and I have to help my mother at this time, which means I would be busy for most of the ball and couldn't enjoy with Tony!
"Oh, no! What I do?!" I thought, panicking. I can't dispense the Tony Cardella!
I was desperately trying to come up with an idea, but my stomach rumbled, I'm hungry… "After eat, I think of something…" I thought, walking to cafeteria.
Zander's P.O.V
Nelson and Kevin left the bandroom with their games 'Pigeons Furious', leaving me and Stevie alone, as always. We need to stay longer because, as our instruments are connected to amplifier, we have to shut it down and fix the wires, which take longer.
I was anxious for them to leave, because I want to ask something to Stevie… I wanted ask her to the ball. What? I think her cool, talented, intelligent and… beautiful. But isn't like I was in love with her, I just think it would be fun go with her to the ball… Ok…! Maybe I have a small crush on her, but nothing more. When we finished, Stevie was leaving the bandroom, but I called her, causing her to stop.
"Stevie!" She looks at me.
"Yes?" She makes a gesture for me to continue.
"I was thinking…"
"Oh, no! It scares me!" She jokes. I rolled my eyes smiling and continue:
"Anyway, I was thinking if you… want… Ugh… want…" I started to stammer, getting nervous. "Go Zander, talks! Why are you so nervous? Just talk!" I think, trying to encourage myself, but it just makes me more panicked.
"Z, are you fine?" Stevie asks, looking worried.
"Ugh…" I can't answer; it seems that my tongue caught!
"Zander, come. Sit here…" She grabs my hand and pulls me to the couch. I sit and she sits beside me, turning to look at me.
"Zander, what's happening? Why are you so nervous?" She asks, looking into my eyes.
"It's nothing. I just…" I try to say, running a hand through my hair.
"Just… what?"
"I just wanted to know if… you would like to…" I take a deep breath "You would like to… Ugh…"
"I would like to what?!"
"To… rehearse with me later?!" I say, very fast. "Damn, Zander! Is this the best can you do?!" I thought, cursing me for not being able to say what I wanted. Why do I get so nervous around Stevie?
A/N: So, this was the first chapter! I forgot to say, this will be a multi-chapter story. Please, if you liked it or not, review! I want to know your opinion!
