A/N: Thank you so much for all the lovely reviews, dolls! Want to hear some super fantastic news? This story has 50,681 views! That's so incredible and amazing! So, it's story advertisement time! Please check out Alphas Can't Mate Omegas by LunarMoonWater! It involves two of the greatest things: Werewolves and Zevie. Can't get any better than that, right? You won't regret reading it! Alright, replies?
Yellowstar51: Right?! We need a button that can let us love a story forever! Aw, I miss ADB already!
Darknite47: As in a Zevie story? If so, of course you should! Everyone has the ability to write, you just need to unleash your imagination! Wow, that sounded extremely lame.
Foreverseddie: How could you not notice the major Zevie moments in Cee Lo?! They were so obvious!
Dani: Aw, thank you! My story is so not bookmark worthy.
Guest (who said "Disgusting!" and "EWWW!"): No lie, I laughed when I read your review. It's hilarious if you think that I'm going to, in your words, "NEVER WRITE AGAIN!" This story obviously isn't that horrible if you continued reading it after 52 chapters. You're not a very good hater if you're reading this chapter, too.
AllyouneedisLove49887: Thank you so much! That's so sweet!
zevieshipper13: No lie, I was writing the chapter where you guys find out who the rose came from two days ago! Couldn't let a small mystery like that from the beginning slip away, could we?
I am proud to say that I have received my very first hate-review for one of my HTR stories. As Big Time Rush would say, woo hoo! Alright, special announcement. From August 24-August 31, the reader-of-the-week is foreverseddie! Seriously, she leaves the nicest reviews that I don't even deserve! So sweet! Anyways, I told you guys that there might be a kiss in this chapter...Hope you enjoy!
I don't own How to Rock or A Midsummer Night's Dream.
[Kacey]
I slam my locker shut and mutter, "I can't believe I practically dated Kevin."
Stevie laughs and asks, "Why don't you actually start dating him"
I shudder as we walk towards Drama class. "Gross, no way. He's Kevin."
She replies, "Come on, Kacey. You already admitted that Devon's like Kevin. If you dated Devon, what's the difference between dating Kevin?"
I shake my head and tell her, "It's just too weird. They're so different."
She scoffs, "They're about as different as night and...later that night."
I roll my eyes. After a two minute walk that seemed like forever, we finally reached the auditorium where class was taking place today.
While we walk in, I smile and question, "Don't you remember the last time we had class in here, Stevie?"
She narrows her eyes and, through gritted teeth, responds, "No."
My smile widens. "Really? You don't remember how you lost our bet and almost kissed Zander?"
When we climb up the steps on the side that lead to the stage, Stevie punches my arm.
"Ow!"
I look over to her and see her smirking. I groan once we hop onto the stage. Since the whole class is sitting in a wide circle around Mr. Winkler, Stevie and I walk over to the Gravity 5 guys and sit down next to him. I sit down in between Kevin and Stevie, but I scoot closer to Stevie since I'm still crept out about the Devon thing. Mr. Winkler claps his hands, making everyone quiet down.
He announces, "Okay, we're going to be reading a scene from a play I'm sure all of you have heard of."
He starts passing out booklets that were in his hands. When Mr. Winkler hands one to me, I read the title.
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Nelson and Kevin groan when they get theirs. I laugh and open my booklet to the page with the pink Post It stuck to it.
Once all of the booklets are passed out, Mr. Winkler asks, "Are there any volunteers for the male role as Lysander?"
None of the guys raise their hands. Mr. Winkler sighs, scans the class, and says, "Um, Zander, why don't you come up and read for the role?"
Zander sighs, stands up, and walks to the middle of the circle.
Mr. Winkler points at where he should read in his booklet and questions, "Now, are there any volunteers to read for Lysander's love interest Hermia?"
Unlike the guys, more than half of the girls raise their hands. Stevie scoffs while I laugh. From across the stage, I see Molly looking at me. She smiles and raises her hand. I glare at her and raise my hand, too. Molly narrows her eyes and waves her hand around. Accepting the challenge, I wave my hand around as well.
Mr. Winkler looks around at all the girls before landing his eyes towards my direction, making me smirk at Molly.
"Stevie."
My smirk fades as I look over to Stevie. She looks up from the booklet in her lap, points to herself, and questions, "Me?"
He nods. Eh, better than Molly getting it. I smile at Stevie and nudge her with my elbow. She rolls her eyes, stands up, and walks over to the middle. Zander smirks at her, resulting in Stevie punching him in the shoulder. After Mr. Winkler shows her which spot to start reading at, I shift in my seat excitedly. Finally, Mr. Winkler backs up to stand behind the circle so only Zander and Stevie are in the middle, facing each other.
Zander sighs and reads emotionlessly, "If thou lovest me..."
Mr. Winkler interrupts, "No, no, no."
He steps over the Perfs and walks back over to the two. I smile at a grossed out Molly and Grace.
Mr. Winkler looks at Zander and says, "Zander, you need to put some emotion into it. You're supposed to be in love with Hermia, you want her to run away with you."
He looks at both Zander and Stevie before continuing, "Now, look into each other's eyes and connect."
After looking into each other's eyes for only two seconds, the two burst out laughing. I laugh while rolling my eyes. Mr. Winkler sighs and gives them a look, making them stop.
He walks back behind the circle and shouts, "Action!"
Zander looks at Stevie and repeats, "If thou lovest me, steal forth thy father's house tomorrow night."
Reading from her script, Stevie replies, "My good Lysander, I swear to thee, by Cupid's strongest bow. Tomorrow truly will I meet with thee."
Zander raises his eyebrows. "Cool."
Not even looking down at the script in his hand, Zander puts his right hand behind Stevie's neck and presses his lips to hers. I widen my eyes while Stevie cups his left cheek with her right hand and kisses back.
"Ooooh," echoes through the auditorium. Once the bell rings, Zander and Stevie pull away after a good 20 seconds of lip locking.
Stevie scrunches her nose and states, "You had a blueberry muffin for breakfast."
Zander laughs. I lean over to Kevin and Nelson then whisper, "That's not the reaction I was expecting."
Both of them nod in agreement with dropped jaws and wide eyes.
I stomp into the band room, only to see Stevie strumming her bass on the couch. I sit down next to her, cross my arms, and narrow my eyes at her.
She furrows her eyebrows and asks, "What's up?"
Instead of answering, I coldly question, "What was that?"
"What was what?"
I roll my eyes and respond, "What was that? In drama class, you kissed Zander then acted like it was nothing!"
Stevie shrugs and replies, "Because it was nothing. It's not that big of a deal."
I widen my eyes and yell, "Of course it's a big deal! No one can kiss their best friend and act totally nonchalant about it unless..."
My shocked and suspicious expression turns into giddiness.
Stevie sits up straighter, now full-on curious. "Unless what?"
I smile and finish, "Unless they've kissed before."
There's your second Zevie kiss! I know that the Midsummer Night's Dream part isn't the whole scene, but I just used the lines that they used in the Suite Life episode where they used the same play. So, did you like the chapter? Be sure to review your thoughts!(:
