A/N: Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews, dolls! I'm pretty sure you guys are sweeter than candy. Happy 17th Birthday, Lulu Antariksa! If you haven't wished Queen Classy a happy birthday yet, make sure to do it! Anyone watch How To Rock Cee Lo? Have a favorite scene? I am in love with the "What would happen if we were famous?" dream part! Alright, story advertisement time! Please check out Someday I Love You by Blue Ninja Girl! It. Is. Beautiful. Seriously, I had so many emotions running through the first chapter! Trust me, you'll love it. Okay, how about some replies?
LunarMoonWater: Those are the words I'm looking for! Thank you for putting them in my mouth. I think some people need to understand that this story is about Zander and Stevie not realizing their feelings for each other.
Dani: Thank you so much! So sweet! I was actually watching that Friends episode when I thought up the idea of that chapter. Joey ended up having feelings for Rachel...Think it's a hint?
SingWritePercabeth: You mentioning that chapter where Zander described Stevie to Nelson totally gave me an idea for a part in this chapter!
AMrocks: Aw, thanks! My story is similar to the Harry Potter series? No, no, no! J.K. Rowling is too amazing for her books to be in the same category as something I wrote!
Again, thank you, guys! Remember to write one-shots, update your stories quicker, write new stories, post Zevie pictures/videos, and spread the word throughout all of December because it's Zevie month! Anyways, I hope you enjoy!
I don't own How To Rock or Last One Standing.

I swing my bass guitar off of my back, step onto the bench, and sit down on Gravity 5's lunch table. Beside me, Kevin's drum set is set up. On the left of the Perf table, Nelson and his keyboard are set up while Zander and his uke are on the right. Then on the actual table, Kacey is adjusting her microphone on its stand. Around us are parents and students all talking to one another. I sigh, look down at my bass, and start tuning it.
When I finish, I hear a voice joke, "Ditching me after our date? Real classy, Baskara."
I laugh and look up to see none other than Zander. "Ha-ha, hilarious. I left a note that said I had to go home and change."
"Yeah, the invisible note that I just so happened to not notice. How could I have not seen it?"
Both of us laugh at his sarcasm. I scan the crowd before asking, "Where's your mom?"
He shrugs and answers, "I think she's planning our wedding with your mom."
I chuckle and reply, "That's going to be a problem considering I told Kacey she could plan it."
Zander responds, "Then we're in trouble because I told Kevin and Nelson it was going to have a Furious Pigeons theme."
We share a glance then burst out laughing. After we get over the giggles, I notice Zander looking behind me. I furrow my eyebrows, turn my head around, and see none other than Eddie standing in the distance with Jerome.
"That guy has been staring at me since I got here."
I turn back to him explaining, "That's my brother."
Zander nods, puts his hands in his pocket, and starts walking pass the table.
I grab his wrist and question, "Where the heck are you going?"
As if it were the most obvious thing in the world, he says, "Going to go introduce myself."
I scoff, "Are you trying to get yourself murdered?"
Zander chuckles and replies, "Relax, Steves. No one can resist the Zander Robbins charm."
I narrow my eyes at him. He raises his hands up in defense and walks back to the Perf table.
After I reach the band room door, I swing my bass to my back and look through the door. Sitting on the couch were Nelson and Kevin while Zander was on the arm chair. I put my hand on the doorknob, preparing to tell them that our performance is about to start, but the next thing that comes out of Kevin's mouth stops me.
"Just tell us who the girl is!"
Girl? I move to the side and peek my head out so they can't really see me.
Zander sighs and mumbles, "Can we just let go of this?"
Nelson groans and shouts, "Come on, we just want to know who you had your first kiss with!"
I widen my eyes. Zander shakes his head and states, "I'm not telling you who she is."
Kevin asks, "Then what's she like?"
I stand up straighter and furrow my eyebrows. This should be interesting.
Zander leans back in the chair and answers, "She's...cool."
I roll my eyes. Nelson scoffs, "Cool? That's it? Keep going, pretty boy!"
Zander replies, "She's...different."
Nelson and Kevin flirtatiously comment, "Ooh, different."
I quietly laugh while Zander continues, "She's just not like any other girl I've known. For one thing, she actually has a brain. She always makes me laugh, really sweet sometimes...She's beautiful. I'm just really happy when I'm around her."
I smile and put my hair behind my right ear.
Kevin shifts on the couch and responds, "That doesn't sound like just a random fan girl who kissed you."
Nelson nods in agreement. "Sounds like someone's in love."
I raise my eyebrows. Zander chuckles and replies, "In love? No, no, no. I'm not in love with her."
The other two roll their eyes. "Mmhmmm..."
Deciding now would be a good time to interrupt, I back up, walk in my place so it sounds like I'm coming from down the hall, open the door, and step inside.
"Hey, Kacey wanted me to tell you that we're about to start."
All of them nod, get up from their seats, and walk out the door. I follow Zander out and walk down the hall beside him.
He must've noticed me smiling and biting my bottom lip because he questions, "What's with the smile?"
I shrug and innocently answer, "Nothing."
When it gets to Zander's solo in Last One Standing, he continues to strum his ukulele while smiling and walking over to me. Pretty soon, it turns into him standing right in front of me as he sings. I smile at him and continue playing my bass. After he finishes his part, he winks at me before walking back to his spot beside the Perf table. I roll my eyes and look around the courtyard. The crowd around us seems to be enjoying themselves, clapping along. I look over to Kacey and see her smiling at me while singing.
I furrow my eyebrows and mouth, "What?"
Still with a giddy looks, she makes a heart with her hands.
I realize what she's referring to, shake my head, and mouth, "No!"
This chapter sucked on so many levels. There are probably four billion mistakes. I am so sorry, guys! Honestly, I have never had a case of writer's block this big. Whenever I tried writing this, I'd always get stuck and just stare at my blank screen. Again, so sorry! I have a feeling you'll like the next chapter though. May or may not involve a kiss. Be sure to review your thoughts!(:
