~ Kacey's POV ~

I don't understand why this had to happen to me out of all people I mean I'm Kacey Simon! I'm queen bee of this school, I'm perfect, I'm beautiful. But when I see myself in the mirror before me I don't see perfect Kacey Simons, I see Kacey Simons: the girl with glasses and braces staring back to greet me.

Since the sixth grade Grace, Molly, and I -well mostly me and Molly- have built the "perf" reputation (perf is the abbreviation for perfect) and because of an eye infection and a run in with a table and its props I'm doomed to look like…like…..like THIS!

What will happen when I walk into the halls tomorrow? I know the minute Molly and Grace see me I'm out of the perfs. I won't be popular anymore and Molly will finally get her wish she'll take my place as Queen Bee while I slowly become a nerd (I read her diary. Some friend she is) Well we'll have to see what happens wont we?

The Next Day ~

What happened this morning in history was much worse than what had imagined last night over and over and over again. But it didn't stop there, oh no Molly and Grace had decided it would be much better if the whole school had a copy of what I now looked like to carry around with them so they would never forget my down fall.

I walked into the quad mortified at what they're doing and tried to stop them, but that made them want to tease me even more. Now I had a swarm of kids laughing and pointing. It felt horrible. I yelled "stop stop it" but no one listened and soon enough my protests wouldn't have been heard over the crowd anymore.

~ Zander's POV ~

I was talking to a couple of my friends when I saw the whole scene. Molly and Grace at the quad handing out photos of Kacey with her braces and glasses to the whole student body. Kacey yelling at them to stop, than a whole crowd of students began to tease Kacey, and she couldn't take it anymore. And for some strange reason neither could i. it hurt me to see her almost cry.

Ok I had to stop this.

"Hey everybody there's a teacher stuck in the faculty toilet!" once the words escaped my mouth the mob that had been surrounding Kacey ran the other direction to the faculty bathroom.

"Are you okay?" I asked her

"Yeah thanks Zander" As I heard my name roll of her tongue, my heart began to beat against my chest. Beating louder and louder every second I stood there gazing into her beautiful brown eyes.

"Umm no problem, hey lets get outta here" I told her as I grabbed her by the hand and began to lead her to the band room before she could argue.

~ Kacey's POV ~

I don't know what happened but the minute Zander grabbed my hand my cheeks turned red, my heart began to swell, and for the first time eve I had some serious butterflies, not those school girl crush ones. I mean don't get me wrong Zander is super hot but I don't think of him that way…do i?

"What is this place?" I asked scrunching my nose at the awful stench that filled the room. Zander brought me to a room in the school I didn't even know existed.

"this where our band Gravity 4 practices" Zander answered my question and as if on cue Nelson and Kevin came into the room with a pink bicycle.

"hey Zander look what we got from…..is that Kacey Simon?"

I just stood there unfazed and bored as I stared at dumb and dumber.

"I was thinking since you got by your band" Zander began "you might want to join ours"

I wanted to say NO! this is all temporary and I would be back in with the perfs in no time but when I looked at Zander something inside of me made me say "yes I will." The guys began to cheer but I was so confused why did I say yes?

~ Talent Show ~

I should've realized Molly would pull this kind of stunt but I was too busy wanting to be Kacey Simon: the perf I lost sight of who I was, the new friends I made, and I forgot about Zander. I've only known him now for about three days now and already I have a major crush on that boy. It took me a while to realize it and now that I have its too late to take it back. I made my way to the entrance where I heard Stevie, Nelson, Kevin, and Zander.

I walked out my glasses replaced by contacts, braces only worn at night before I go to sleep.

"Hey guys" I said

Everyone's attention was on me but I was only focused on Zander. I loved to see him stare at me with such awe and surprise.

"WOW" was all he managed to get out and I'm glad if he said anymore I would have blushed so much everyone would know that I a crush on Zander Robbins.

"Good luck guys" I said as I walked past them but a hand on my shoulder stopped me in my tracks.

"if we let you back in the band" zander said "you have to promise never to ditch us again"

"And if I consider coming back you guys have to know how to keep up because I know how to rock"

"deal"

I smiled "well lets go we have a talent show to win"

~ Zander's POV ~

We definitely rocked the talent show all thanks to Kacey. I mean she was amazing and the way she looked so beautiful under the lights. I mean I knew I liked her as a friend ever since I came to this school even if she was mean but now when look at her I know that I don't just like her as a friend I like her way more than that.

Nelson must of seen me staring because what came next from his mouth reminded me how impossible to get Kacey Simon. "almost every guy in the school wants her, don't waste your time Zander"

I knew it was true but this wasn't any normal crush I usually have from time to time. I know this one is going to stick.

~ Kacey's POV ~

I hope Zander hadn't seen me staring at him during the performance. I got close to him while singing to move around and dance a little but the real reason wasn't that it was just so I could put my hands on his shoulders and feel the lean muscle just beneath.

~ Both Kacey and Zander ~

I don't know why hadn't realized this before but I've got it bad
