A/N: Thank you for the spectacular reviews, dolls! I'm so glad that all of you were shocked by the last chapter! Replies?

xEmilyHeartsx: It would be me to make Zander the world's cutest gentlemen in the beginning then the jerk who ruined the date, huh? Dude, you saying you could see Stevie fuming mad and Zander giving her an 'I'm sorry' puppy face totally put an image in my mind! Chapter idea? Yep!

foreverseddie: I know I'm always humble about my writing, but I would so win the Most Unexpected award! There are more twist and turns to come, my doll.

darknite47: Favorite HOA couple? I have loads like Amfie, Mamber, M&M, Neddie and all that but I think my favorite is Peddie. I've heard about Maximum Ride, but I've never read it. Um, not sure about Kickin' It stories. I like Jack and Kim together, but who knows?

Want to hear some amazing news that I just realized? This story is followed by 81 people and is on 60 favorites list. That's so incredible! More incredible news? No matter what you say, you were shocked by either Zander's pizza date being the second chance, him ruining the Justin date, or both! Knowing that I surprised all of you guys is just so awesome! I love making it so obvious that something will happen then doing the total opposite! Alright, I hope you enjoy!

I don't own How to Rock.

[Stevie]

I storm into the band room to see Kevin behind his drums and Zander strumming his ukulele on the couch. He turns to me and smiles, but that fades when he sees my angry expression.

I yell, "What the heck is wrong with you?"

He furrows his eyebrows so I continue, "Did you reschedule my date without even telling me so you could act all Prince Charming afterwards? I knew there were people that could go that low, Zander, but I didn't think one of them would be you!"

Zander puts his ukulele on the couch, stands up, and states, "Steves, I have no clue what you are talking about."

I scoff and shout, "You sent a text to Justin switching the time of the date!"

I turn around and stomp out. When I reach the doorway, I turn around and add, "I thought you'd be the type to at least admit it after you were caught, but I guess I don't really know you."

I walk out the door and down the hall as I hear Zander call, "Stevie!"

"Stevie, are you okay?"

I ignore Kacey's concern and continue stabbing my salad with my fork. Kevin and Noah give me confused looks, but I focus on murdering my meal. After a minute of silence, I see Zander walk up to the table in the corner of my eye.

He opens his mouth to say something, but I stand up mumbling, "I need to finish my homework," before quickly storming out of the courtyard.

When I'm halfway down the hall, I hear a voice shout, "Stevie! Stevie, wait!"

I turn around to see Zander running towards me. He stops and asks, "Why are you mad at me?"

I widen my eyes out of rage and yell, "You are so full of it! I know you hate Justin, Molly and all those popular guys, but I didn't think you'd go so far to ruin my date!"

He gives me a confused look but quickly shakes his head and spits out, "I'm sorry."

I roll my eyes and say, "I actually thought I preferred a pizza date with you over Justin, but now I'm positive that I'd rather sit alone at Schneider's Pizzeria any day."

I give him one last glare before stomping off.

After ignoring Zander throughout all of rehearsal at the end of the day, I sling my bag over my left shoulder and pick up my bass case with my right hand, ready to head home with Kacey.

She picks up her purse and questions, "Are you still mad at Zander?"

"Yeah, but can we not talk about it?"

Kacey nods and we walk over to the door. Just as I put my free hand on the doorknob, we hear voices getting louder in the halls.

Kacey smiles deviously. "Ooh, eavesdropping time!"

I furrow my eyebrows. She groans out of frustration, grabs my bass case, set it on the couch, takes my wrist, and drags me behind Kevin's drum set. She puts her hand on my shoulder and pushes me down with her.

I drop my bag on the floor next to me and whisper, "What are we doing?"

She holds her finger up to her lips telling me to be quiet as the band room door opens. I look under Kevin's cymbals to see him and Zander walking in as Kevin is saying, "Hey, thanks for taking the blame for me."

Zander nods and responds, "Yeah, no problem. Why did you use my phone to send that text to Justin anyways? How did you get his number anyways?"

I widen my eyes and look over to Kacey. She puts her hand over her mouth to muffle her gasp. I look back at the guys with full-on focus and curiosity.

Kevin shrugs with a guilty expression on his face. "Sorry for dragging you into this. I saw his number on Stevie's hand so I copied it. I guess I used your number since Stevie has a soft spot for you. If figured that if she found out it was you, she wouldn't be as mad."

Zander nods, picks his backpack up from the couch, and walks out. Kacey and I stand up while Kevin has his back facing us. He turns around when Kacey clears her throat and widens his eyes.

Kacey awkwardly steps out from behind the drums and walks out the door saying, "I'm going to, um…I'll meet you in the parking lot, Stevie."

She rushes out and shuts the door behind her. I walk towards Kevin with wide eyes. He turns away so he doesn't meet my gaze and sits down on the couch. I sit down next to him as he puts his head in his hands.

After a moment of silence, I question, "Why did you do it?"

His answer is muffled since his palms are still attached to his mouth. I punch his shoulder, making him drop his hands and scream, "Ow!"

I shoot him a look, making him explains, "I was kind of jealous."

"Why?"

Kevin sighs and confesses, "Ever since the Perfs posted that fake article saying that you like me, I just kind of believed it so I started liking back….. I'm sorry I ruined your date."

I sigh, put my right arm around his shoulders, and reply, "It's okay, Kev. Sorry, but I don't like you in that way."

He nods. "I know."

He looks at the ground depressed. I tighten my arm around him and continue, "I know someone that does, though! She's nice, pretty, and you got matched up with her at the masquerade ball."

I say the last part flirtatiously. Kevin's lips curl into a small smile as he scoffs, "Yeah, right. I doubt Kacey likes me."

I retreat my arm and nudge him with my elbow saying, "She might if you put some effort into it. Come on, Kacey already thinks you're a great friend. With some more work, she could think of you as something more."

Kevin's smile widens. He stands up responding, "Thanks, Stevie. No awkward feelings, right?"

He holds out his left fist. I pound it with my right one answering, "Of course not. Good luck with the Kacey thing."

He tips his invisible hat and jogs out. I laugh and lean back on the couch.

I mutter, "Guess I owe Zander an apology."

Don't lie, you know you were shocked when you read that Kevin sent the text! So, why do you think Zander took the blame for it? How do you think Stevie's apology will go? Be sure to tell me your thoughts in your reviews!(:
