Hey loves! So, this is a new little collection I'm doing. Valentine's Day ones! Cause it's February now! These are all going to be related and I really hope that you all like them. Hopefully I'll be able to upload one each day, the last being uploaded on Valentine's Day. So, hope you enjoy!
Valentine's Day. That one day of every year when people go all out for everything. Boys buy expensive gifts for their girlfriends, who most of them, won't even last past high school. And girls expect their boyfriends to do something really romantic for them, when most of them just end up getting flowers and chocolate. The typical gift for Valentine's Day. Along with the giant teddy bear, and the jewelry. It's always a crazy day.
Which is why Stevie Baskara, bassist for Gravity 5, and Brewster High's resident tough chic, never understood the whole point of it. She's never had a boyfriend, so that might account for something. But she also found everything to be too mushy and stuff. Then again, she did have four older brothers who always told her that the mushy love stuff was gross.
Even with friends like Kevin and Nelson, growing up on Valentine's Day, all she would ever get was a card or two. She always told herself and others that she didn't care, just to not sound weak and girly. But deep down, she really did care. She wished she could be showered with gifts like Kacey Simon was, even in kindergarten at age 5. But she never was. So why would her junior year be any different.
*Stevie's POV*
I walk into Brewster High on the morning of February 14th, dragging my feet down the hallway towards my locker. As I walk through the school, I take notice of the change in scenery that must have happened overnight. Pink and red streamers hang from every part of the ceiling, cut-outs of Cupid are hanging from bits of the ceiling as well, pink and red hearts of different sizes are plastered on the walls and lockers; people had taken pink, red, and white window paint and made different designs on each of the many windows in the school, and lastly, a giant banner hangs through the courtyard of the school which reads, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
I just ignore all of the insane and over-the-top decorations and continue to my locker. When I reach it, I go to open it, but then I notice a folded piece of paper attached to the door, my name neatly scribbled across it. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and pull the paper off of my locker, unfolding it to read.
Hey Steves,
Happy Valentine's Day! Even though I know that you absolutely despise this holiday. Kevin and Nelson basically told me everything, but before you go and beat the pulp out of them for telling me, I begged them to tell me why you hate this holiday. So don't hurt them.
Now, you are excused from your classes for the rest of the day. And don't worry, I okayed it with the principle first. And he assured me that you won't get in trouble for not being in any of your classes. And so, our adventure begins.
I smile and shake my head as I lean up against the lockers, reading the note quietly to myself.
Today I'm going to take you on an amazing trip down memory lane. In other words, our first year at Brewster High as best friends. I assume that since you are reading this note, you are at your locker. Which is where we first met, and you shot down every single one of my attempts at being friendly. But, as everyone can now see on a day to day basis, my efforts were not put to waste and we are now the bestest of friends.
I smile and remember that day he showed up at my locker, effortlessly trying to flirt with me. But, like the tough and intimidating girl I am, I shot down every attempt, but he did not give up at all that day.
Even though you shot me down every time, I still tried. Because I thought that you were the most beautiful girl I had ever laid my eyes on. And I still do.
I roll my eyes at his cheesiness but I can feel the heat rushing to my cheeks as well.
I can imagine you right now after reading that last line. You're probably rolling your eyes but blushing at the same time. See how well I know you. Goes to show how well the effort of me hitting on you paid off. And now that this wonderful letter is coming to a close, put your stuff in your locker and get ready for an incredible trip down memory lane. Some of these moments will be of the two of us, and others will be just of you. So to start off this little adventure, try going to the place where the idea for Gravity 4 was first formed. -Zander
I shake my head smiling and fold the paper in half again, placing it in my back pocket and open my locker door. I put my stuff inside of it, making sure that I have my phone with me and then close the door, locking it again. I turn to face the hallways that contain no high school students whatsoever and casually make my way towards the place where Gravity 4, the original band, was formed. The band room.
So? Did you guys like this first part? I hope you did! Let me know what you think in the review section, I would love to hear your thoughts. Hopefully I will have the next chapter up tomorrow!
Until next time,
Jellybean96 out!
