Third Person POV

"All right man, you got this! You can do this," Kevin said to Zander as Nelson rubbed Zander's shoulders like trainers do to boxers to before they fight.

"No I don't. She's gonna say no. I can feel it," Zander's says.

"Hey don't talk like that!" Kevin yelled.

"She's gonna say yes. Remember what you told us Zander? That no one can resist the 'Robbin's charm?'" reminded Nelson.

"Ummm, yeah, starting to rethink that whole idea," he said. "I can't do this, I'm going to the bathroom."

"No, no, no!" Kevin and Nelson grabbed him and brought him bak into the hallway.

"You got this!" Kevin yelled.

"Now get back in there, and sweep her off her feet, Romeo." Nelson pushed.

Zander's POV

I walked into the gym, and it was filled with a sea of people, practically impossible to point out one particular person.

But then I saw her.

Stevie.

She looked beautiful as ever wearing a black, lace dress with black combat boots, a very Stevie look.

Okay, so if you didn't the hint before, I have a massive crush on my best friend Stevie, and tonight I was going to tell her.

But that isn't the only thing I have planned for tonight. Since it was her birthday tomorrow, I was going to give her one of her birthday presents tonight. It was bracelet. I know Stevie isn't really one for jewelry, so instead of a regular bracelet, I was going to give her a thin, black with an engraving of her name in ocean blue writing.

She was trying to avoid Andy Bartlet, so this is probably the best time to tell her.

Coicidentally the DJ came over the microphone, "All right Brewster Junior High, how's everyone enjoying the Winter Formal?"

"Woo!" everyone simultaneously cheered.

"Well were going to slow things down a bit, so guys grab a girl, and ask her to dance with you," he announced playing the song Not Alone by Darren Criss.

I see Stevie running up to me, and she violently grabs my arm.

"Dance with me!" she commanded me.

"Jeez Steves," I joke with her. I mean, she wanted to dance with me, I'm not going to complain about that.

"I didn't really want to hear anymore about Andy and his life long dream to become the first person to ever fart for two whole minutes straight."

"What? That didn't sound like fun to you?" I also.

Yeah that comment earned me a smack behind the head.

After a moment of silence I spoke up, "This is nice."

"Well way to make it awkward Robbins."

I laughed, "I wasn't trying to make it awkward Baskara. I'm serious."

I was. Being with Stevie, her hands around my neck and my hands on her waist, just felt right. Like we were the only two people on earth. Man when did I become such a girl?

Well it was now or never.

"Hey Stevie?"

"Yeah?"

"I was wondering if maybe you'd like go to out with me sometime?" I said really fast.

She gave me a weird look, "What?"

I sighed, "Stevie, would like to go out on a date with me sometime?"

She waited about 10 seconds before bursting out laughing.

Ouch. That hurt, like a lot.

"Wait," she said realizing I wasn't laughing with her. "Are you serious?"

"Yes Stevie I was, but just forget I ever said it," I said starting to walk away since the song was over.

"No Zander wait!" she called. "I'm sorry, that wasn't right for me to do."

"It's okay Stevie I get it. You're not into me. You don't have to be-"

I was cut off by high, squeaky voice coming from none other than Kacey Simon.

"Hey guys! Are you having fun? Oh my gosh Stevie, I love your dress!" she said her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"What do you want Kacey?" she said not buying one bit of it.

"I just wanted to know where you got your dress from. Goodwill? Or was it a hand-me-down?" she said smirking.

Stevie just looked down.

"Kacey that's enough," I tell her.

Kacey was hitting a hard topic, and she knew it. Stevie's dad lost his job about two months ago, and money had been really tight, so she was borrowing her cousin's dress for tonight.

"It's just girl talk Zander. Like I got mine from Jennny's, that new, expensive dress botique downtown," she said flaunting her too small, too short hot pink dress. "How much did yours cost? Do you have to save it for prom?"

"That's it," Stevie murmured under breath, and ran out of the gym in tears.

Kacey just stood there smirking knowin she won.

"Grow up Kacey," I tell before going to find Stevie.

"Stevie?" I called walking into the girl's bathroom.

"Please leave Zander," a small voice said.

"And leave my best friend crying? Not a chance," I said walking up to give her a hug.

"I hate her so much," she says between sobs.

"Shhhh. It's okay," I said rubbing circles on her back. "Stevie look at me."

She looked up at me with black eyes from makeup smearing. It nearly broke my heart.

"It doesn't matter if you're wearing a thousand dollar dress or a ten dollar dress, you're always beautiful to me," I tell her looking straight into her eyes.

I swore I saw her blush.

"That's so corny Robbins."

"Corny, but true. Oh before I forget I have something for you," I said digging into my pocket. "Just an early birthday present," I said handing her the bracelet.

"Oh my gosh I love it Zander!" she said throwing her arms around me. "Help me put it on?"

I happily obliged.

"It's perfect. I'll never take it off."

Then she did something unexpected. She walked a little closer to me and kissed my right cheek.

"Thank you Zander for making this a great night, and you need to know that any girl would be lucky to have you."

"Thank you Stevie. And you need to know that any guy would be crazy if he ever let you go," I say.

"All right Robbins, let's get out of this chick flick and enjoy the rest of the dance," she says dragging me out.

Tonight was easily one of the best nights ever.

A/N: YAY! It's finally out! I actually like how most of this turned out for once, so kudos to me.

If you haven't heard of the song Not Alone by Darren Criss, look it up. He wrote it before he was on Glee, and it's amazing.

Okay everybody, there hasn't been a lot of Zevie stories lately, so I'm going to share a little story that may inspire you a little.

Okay so about a month and a half ago I was babysitting this little girl who is about ten years old I think, and her little brother and sister. Anyways, I remember watching HTR A Uniform with her last time I babysat her, and we talked about how we both LOVE Max Schneider. So I asked her if she saw the last episode a few weeks ago, and she was like no I didn't, and she told me to tell her what happened. So I did, I told her it was actually a nice ending for the show, with Kacey and Molly getting along together. And then out of the blue she asked, "Did Zander and Stevie kiss?" Which just goes to show you their chemistry is strong enough for a TEN year old to notice it! I was like, "No, but I wish they did!" So the moral of the story is people still care about Zevie. KEEP WRITING!

Okay yeah this needs to end like now.

Reviews make me want to write more, so please take the time to review!
