It was pouring, raining harder than anyone had ever seen in years. Gravity 5 had band practice and some people took it more seriously than others did. Stevie was one of the members that wasn't afraid of a little rain. Kacey, however, was terrified of thunder and lightning storms. So Kacey decided to skip 'just this once,' in her words. Kevin and Nelson, who are a package deal, decided to stay with Kacey to 'protect her from all that is evil,' in their words. Both Zander and Stevie were not informed of this change in line up.
Stevie has four older brothers, so pulling your own weight is the only way to get material things. Only her dad has a real job but her mom is a popular online blogger and that brings in some money. Since her parents aren't filthy rich, Stevie can't afford a car, only a bike. So the rain prevents her from biking to the practice. Well it would've if the rain started before she left. The day went from sunny to deadly in a matter of seconds. She had to run the last two blocks to the band room because she could barely see the road in front of her.
Zander was already at the band room and nervous because everyone was late. Stevie barged in completely soaked, mainly because of the fact that the water was coming down harder than it does in her shower. Zander ran up to her, instinctively gave her a hug. As she began to hug him back, lightning flashed and thunder crashed, making her jump into his arms. Not many know this about Zander, but he has great paternal instincts: he is always comforting, supportive, and he knows just what to say and when to say it.
"What happened?" Zander finally said after lying her down on the couch and kneeling next to her, holding her hand.
"I got wet." Stevie simply put. Stevie's hair was sticking to the sides of her cheeks and makeup was running down her face. "Do you have a change of clothes?" It was a long shot but it wouldn't hurt to ask him if he did.
"Surprisingly, I do." Zander got up and walked over to his bags, there he picked up a drawstring bag and tossed it to her, "Being the style savvy person I am, I always have a spare change." The outfit was simple slightly worn jeans and a grey T-shirt.
"Thanks, but there's nowhere to change," Stevie said holding back a blush.
"I won't look, I promise." Zander covered his eyes with his hands.
"Zander, you're my best friend but I can't trust you on this. Here," She handed him one of Nelson's gorilla masks, don't ask, and told him to put it on. The mask was impossible to see through, everyone knows this because of the numerous scars Nelson has from walking into sharp table corners while wearing said mask.
"Only you, Stevie, can make me wear this ridiculous thing," He chuckled.
Stevie backed into the corner and put on the T-shirt and jeans. The rain soaked through all the three layers of her clothes down to her bra, so there was an outline of her bra through the grey shirt. The jeans were a bit loose but luckily, a belt was provided: it was a bit to big so she had to poke a hole to hold the larger pants on her smaller figure.
"Steve, can I take of this mask? It's suffocating me." Zander's question was barely audible through the furry mask.
"Yeah go ahead."
So I want to write another multi chap, and I'm not sure how long this is going to be but I probably can't update until next week because I should be studying for finals right now and next week I'll be taking them! Wish me luck!
