Story Advertisement: A Mulu Love Story by YouAndIMulu4ever is so amazing beyond words. It's extremely well written, and the author is so great! Highly recommend that you read it.
The Chosen Zevian: The very first Chosen Zevian is...ZevieObsessed2012! Seriously, she's genuinely nice. Willy Wonka could make a candy bar out of her sweetness. Haha, that Willy Wonka thing's kind of an inside joke of ours! She'll probably deny that she's sweeter than me, but she's lying if she does. Plus, she's one of the best dang authors in this archive! She's definitely a famous Zevian.
A/N: I'm not going to ramble about Nickelodeon canceling How To Rock right now considering this author's note is already pretty long. Maybe in the next chapter or something. Just remember to spread the word about #SaveHowToRock! Oh, and congratulations to BigTimeTaylor on Twitter! She's Max's September Monkey of the Month so send her lots of love, baby! By the way, let me explain the whole Story Advertisement and Chosen Zevian thing above.
There are so many great stories in this archive that some people aren't reading, so I want to help the fantastic author's out by advertising their work! As for the Chosen Zevian, it's kind of like reader-of-the-week. I probably can't update daily or weekly anymore, so I changed the title. I was thinking about House of Anubis and the Chosen One when I came up with it so...there you go! Both the advertisement and Zevian will change the next time I update!
How about some replies?
Guest (Hater): What I'm hearing is that you are going to read and review this story till the end, correct? Even though you called me a stupid loser, I'm going to try to be nice. You can't believe people like my stories? Doll, you don't want to stop reading this because you like it so you're one of those people. If you want to read a Zacey story, read a Zacey story. No one is stopping you except yourself. I think you're a Zacier that's ashamed of liking a Zevie story so you're posting these really mean reviews to convince yourself that you don't. I'm not going to disable anonymous reviews to stop you because some of my readers don't have accounts. I don't care if you hate my stories, but keep it to yourself.
Zevieshipper13: Thank you so much! Hey, the cliffhangers make the story fun, right? May or may not be a major cliffhanger at the end of this chapter... ;)
Foreverseddie: Nope, there's no way that I deserve reviews as sweet as yours. You, however, deserve being reader-of-the-week! Oh my gosh, I have that "calm down from my fan girl-ing before I finish reading" feeling sometimes when I read stories so it's so awesome that I got you to feel that way!
Missme02: Aw, thank you! Guess you'll have to stalk this story even longer since it's a long way till the end.
Remember that December is Zevie month! It's only September so you have a while to prepare. Write one-shots, update your stories quicker, post new stories, upload Zevie pictures/videos, and spread the word! So, I'm really sorry that I haven't updated in a while! I'm not purposely slacking or anything. I get homework practically everyday, and I'm in advanced classes so school has been pretty hectic. Also sorry for this long author's note. Hopefully, you'll still be interested in reading the actual chapter after scrolling through this whole thing. Hope you enjoy!
I don't own How to Rock or You and I by Ingrid Michaelson.
[Zander]
Lucy (or was it Lola?) bats her eyelashes and flips her dark brown hair. I lean against the locker behind me smoothly and question, "You like owls, huh?"
She nods absentmindedly, probably not hearing a word I just said.
I chuckle and say, "That's really cool. My friend Stevie, actually, loves..."
Lucy/Lola stops her flirtatious gestures, backs away, and interrupts, "You know what? I just remembered that I'm busy on, um, that day."
I step forward and state, "I haven't even asked you out yet."
She shakes her head and mumbles, "Sorry," then runs towards the other end of the hall. Before I can even react, the new girl Jo walks by.
I smirk and follow her saying, "Hey, Jo."
She stops halfway down the hall, turns around, and smiles a little too eagerly when she sees me. "Hi, Zander!"
I ignore her peppiness and ask, "So, do you want to catch a movie with me on Sat..."
Jo cuts me off and exclaims, "I'd love to! Maybe we could go shopping at the mall, too!"
Considering I haven't had a date in four days, I nod and reply, "Um, yeah. Sure."
She smiles so widely that it looks like she has a hanger in her mouth. "Great! Forever Vintage is having a sale so we can go there first!"
"Really? Cool. My friend Stevie loves vintage stuff so I could get her something."
Jo's smile immediately turns into a frown. I furrow my eyebrows and question, "Are you okay?"
She narrows her eyes and, as if she were a different person, punched me straight in the arm.
"Ow!"
Jo folds her arms across her chest and stomps off. When I finally recover myself, I stand up and walk out to the courtyard, confused as can be. I reach Gravity 5's lunch table and sit down, still deep in thought. Kevin and Nelson, who were sitting across from me with Kacey, put their video games down, fold their arms over the table, and give me the same look. Maybe I could get Stevie to do things in unison with me like they do...
Kevin chuckles, "Yeah, she wouldn't agree to that."
Oops. Guess I thought that aloud. I shake my head and sigh.
Nelson, using his Dr. Phil face, questions, "What's up, buttercup?"
"First off, never call me that. Second...I don't know. Lately, girls have been doing nothing but reject me. I haven't been on a date in 4 days! 96 hours without a girl!"
Faking shock, Kacey shouts, "Zander Robbins can do math!"
In unison again, the guys gasp. I groan and respond, "I'm serious. Even my fan girls run off before I can finish my pick up line!"
Kacey rolls her eyes and replies, "If a guy flirting with me kept bringing up another girl, I know that I wouldn't even think twice about rejecting him."
I sit up straighter and ask, "What do you mean?"
Kevin shakes his head and states, "Dude, I know nothing about girls and even I know what she's talking about."
My expression must've grown more confused because Nelson does this dramatic gesture with his hands.
He flips his hair and explains, "Lately, you've been mentioning Stevie to every girl you hit on. I'm not a girl myself, but I'm pretty sure it's a turnoff."
I scoff, "I do not talk about Stevie to all the girls I hit on."
Kevin rolls his eyes and mutters, "Says the guy that sent her a rose." (A/N: Jump back 50 chapters to Chapter 4!)
Kacey widens her eyes, pops up from the lunch table, points a finger at me, and exclaims, "I knew you were Anonymous!"
I groan and yell, "That doesn't mean I have feelings for her!"
"But she was your first kiss!"
Right after the words fill the air, Kacey slaps her right hand over her mouth.
Kevin and Nelson widen their eyes, turn to me, and shout, "What?!"
I turn to Kacey and repeat, "What?!"
Trying to act clueless, she drops her hand from her face and says, "What?!"
I stand up from the table and question, "Who told you that Stevie was my first kiss?"
Kacey takes a few steps backwards saying, "Um, you know, I, um, I kind of found out by myself."
More sternly, I ask, "How?"
"Well, um, you see..."
"Kacey..."
Way too quickly, she answers, "I found out after you two kissed in Drama yesterday!"
I widen my eyes and yell, "Kacey!"
The guys stand up from the table as Kevin says, "Wait, so Stevie was your first kiss?"
Nelson snaps his fingers, jumps up and down, and screams, "I knew it!"
Suddenly, a voice behind us greets, "Hey, what are you guys talking about?"
I jump in my skin then turn around to see Stevie standing there, a bright smile planted on her face.
I stutter, "Um, we were, um, uh..."
Kevin cuts in and lies, "Zander hasn't been on a date for 96 hours!"
Sorry this chapter was so short compared to the author's note. I was writing this in a rush. Not bragging, but want to know who I got tweeted by the night How To Rock A Yearbook aired? Samantha Boscarino, Kirk Fox, and Downtown Durston twice! How lucky am I? Haha! Who watched Singing Telegram and Yearbook? What were your thoughts and favorite parts of the new episodes? Be sure to tell me in your reviews, along with your thoughts on this chapter!(:
