(Stevie)

School's over, and I'm just laying in my room. Should I go to the ball? Nah... I probably should just-

RING!

I think it's the school bell waking me up from a dream, but then I realize that it's just my laptop. I go over to it, and see that it's just my laptop. I go over to it and I see that Ukeboy responded to my email.

Dear Beaniechic,

Yeah, I'm just awesome being myself. Hmm... It's great that you aren't into those boy bands. It makes you unique. Pretty much every girl I know is into those boy bands. I thought I was the only music nerd around here... It's true that I could try new things such as a new music genre, but I just hope it doesn't sound like a cat spitting out a hair ball. If only we could go shopping, but then I remember that we kind of have to stay anonymous. Ms. Antariksa's eyes are clearly hazel, just like a certain someone I know. It's true. She acts young, and she's arguably the coolest teacher you'll ever meet. So... To change the subject, Uhhh... How do I ask this without making it awkward? I'll just come out and say it. Uhhh... Would you like to go to the masquerade ball with me? If not, I understand. If you do, please meet me near the punchbowl. I hope you could say yes, but it's my choice. It's yours.

Reply soon,

Ukeboy

I stare at the screen and slap my face to see if I'm dreaming. Nope. It's real. What should I say? Just when I thought I wasn't going to go to the ball, I end up being asked by my SYF buddy. Great. Should I say yes? Hmmm...

Dear Ukeboy,

Yup, I'm not those boy band addicts. Sure, I love the Beatles, but I'm not really "in love" with any of the members. As I was saying, I would love to go shoe shopping, but I don't have that much money. I'm not rich like the Perfs at school. To change the subject, I was honestly not going to go to the ball because I didn't have a date, and I'm not do good with dates. Until you asked me. Now all I need is a dress. If you were wondering, sure. Why not? It's a masquerade ball. As long as you don't know who I am, we aren't really breaking rules. See you at the ball.

Sincerely,

Beaniechic

And... Send. After that, I call Kacey. It's kind of weird not talking to someone when you are alone. It makes me feel like there's a ghost or something there. I always think there's someone there, but there never is a presence. Sometimes, I conclude I'm crazy, but then I remember my brothers and it's all good.

"Hey girl!"

"How did you know it was me?"

"Caller ID. Duh." Kacey deadpans.

"Okay... Um... Remember what I said earlier?"

"About the masquerade ball?"

"Umm... Yeah."

"What about it?"

"Yeah... I'm kind of going now, but I need a dress and a mask." I say. At the other end, I hear silence, but then I hear screaming.

"AHH! Yay! Stevie's going to the ball! So... Who with?"

"My SYF buddy."

"Did you ask him? I thought you didn't want to ask him."

"I know. He asked me." I say, and then Kacey cheers some more. I wonder what Grace would've done.

"Don't make a big deal out of it Kacey."

"We have to make a big deal out of this! Whoever thought Stevie would ever go to a ball?" Kacey asks, and then I get to thinking. What am I going to wear?

"Do you have a dress?" Kacey asks as if she just read my mind. After that, there are a few moments of awkward silence. "You don't have a dress, do you?"

"Uhhh... Nada," I say. "I'll just wear one of my mom's old dresses and my combat boots-"

"Are you insane? Your mother isn't exactly updated on her fashion sense. Her dresses probably have gravy stains!" Kacey says, and I roll my eyes. "I have to tell Grace!"

"Wait, Kacey-"

And she hung up.

A/N: Kay guys, I'm just wondering if Zander had a sister on the yearbook episode? I'm doing research for a new story, and I think he had a sister. Does anyone think her name was mentioned? So... I'll be reading more Zevie fics. LEAVE A REVIEW!

I guess this was kind of short. Oh well.
