Chapter Two: Hurt
A/N: Hiya! I'm back already. I got a book report to do but this kept bugging me. I guess I'll do one chapter a day from now on. But when school starts maybe a few times a week. I figured I wanted to do some shout outs! I only have four reviews but one really helped me and made me laugh. And everyone please spread the word about this story! AND REVIEW! I like reviews! They make me feel happy!
LunarMoonWater: Thank you for your help! I know Zander's being a bit jerky (does that sound weird?) but it's all part of the plan. MWHAHAHAHA! And I hope we can see a new chapter for your story soon!
I forgot to mention this last time! There are no perfs! Just cheerleaders! They're snobby but not evil. Kacey is a part of them. Molly is the head cheerleader and Grace is a cheerleader too. Gravity 5 and the cheerleaders are friends but not good friends. Think like Shellesa from fish hook. Okay enough with this author's note!
Disclaimer: I don't own How to Rock. If I did there would hopefully be more Zevie. I only own the plot.
Last time on Broken:
"Still with Loser 5?" What? I thought Spencer was cool.
"Ha, yeah." EXCUSE ME? DID ZANDER JUST CALL US LOSERS?
I keep on listening to their conversation. No. No. NO. NONONO!
"Well? Is Zander friend or foe?"
He looks at me with a serious face, "Foe. Definitely foe."
Stevie's Pov:
I'm shocked, "What? F-Foe? Are you serious? how do you know?"
Nelson pulls out a recorder, "Listen for yourself." and he hits play.
I hear two voices on the recording. one Spencer and one Zander… LOSER 5? OH HELL NO!... Pity? Why would he… A sob story? Is that what he really thinks...
As the recording comes to an end I. Am. Furious. "DOES HE THINK HE CAN JUST DO THAT? TALK ABOUT US LIKE THAT? HE ACTS LIKE OUR FRIEND THEN STABS US IN THE BACK!"
Nelson just sighs and falls on the couch. Then he pats the cushion next to him and I sit down. My eyes water and I bury my head into his shoulder. His arms wrap around me and I cry into him. The bell rings but we don't get up. We stay there, me sobbing in to his chest and him whispering sweet nothings into my ear. By the time the second bell rings we're cleaned up and ready for class, but I still can't believe it.
Nelson's Pov:
After we leave the band room I go to math while Stevie goes to music. I take my sit in between Kevin and Zander. Shoot I forgot, I sit next to him.
"Hey Kevin. Switch seats with me."
"Why?" he whines.
"Dude just do it!"
He frowns but still switches. Zander walks in and does a double take. "Hey Nelson didn't you sit right the-"
"I wanted to try something new!" I snap. The both of them shut up immediately.
In the middle of class I see Zander and Kevin a note to each other repeatedly. I glance over and my blood starts to boil.
Zander/Kevin
Hey, what's up with Mr. Grumpy pants over there? –Z
Idk. maybe he woke up on the wrong side of the bed. -K
Haha or maybe he couldn't beat one of the Furious Pigeon levels. -Z
LOL. Oh what if it's a girl! My Boy's growing up! ;D -K
*GASP* What if it's Grace? OR MOLLY! -Z
OR MAYBE STEVIE? -K
AHAHAHA LOL -Z
I stopped reading after that. Focusing only on math notes I write as much as I can. By the end of class I have about five pages of notes. AND my hand hurts like hell!
Stevie's Pov
The third bell rings and I trudge over to English. I sit next to Kacey and pull out my notebook.
"Hey what's up with you sunshine?" Kacey questions.
I roll my eyes, "Just a bit tired. have some... family problems." I lie.
"Anything I can help with? I don't mean to butt in but come on Stevie, you can tell me anything! We've known each other since second grade! (A/N: oh and everyone has known each before high school I'll put the order down below.)
I smile, "Thanks darling. I'll tell you at band practice, okay?"
"Sure! As long as i get to help you!"
Mrs. Malsow walks in (Imagine Halston Sage) and everyone quiets down. "Okay class today we will be doing something fun! with the person next to you, write a short story! It can be about anything! But it has to be age appropriate. Okay use this rest of class to brainstorm."
I look to Kacey. She gives me an evil look. Great looks like it's a sappy love story.
"Okay lay it on me." I state. This is going to be good.
"So there are these two teens, Noah and Lulu and they're best friends. So Noah is deeply in love with Lulu, but Lulu doesn't know. One day Noah gets accepted to this college but it's like across the world in like France! Or Paris! The city of lo-"
"Kacey!" I yell.
She sighs, "Whaat?"
"You know that Paris is IN France, right?
"W-what?"
"You know what? Just continue." I sigh.
"Well as I was saying, Noah get accepted into the college in Paris. but then Lulu realizes that he love her and that she loves him. But it's too late and like she has to follow him to Paris to be with him! and they live happily ever after!"
I groan and she frowns, "What's wrong with it?"
I close my eyes, rub my head, look at her, then start, "It's good just to predictable. Make it like she realizes her feeling but they get into a fight. Like maybe Noah's angry that she didn't see his love. In the end she just lets him go."
She sits there shocked, "Wow Stevie that's pretty deep. Like it was from your life!"
I look down and whisper, "Yeah my life."
We spend the rest of our time making up little things like characters and setting. we make plans about seeing each other. the bell rings. Time for history.
The day flies by and before you know it we're in the band room practicing. I don't look at Zander once and just play near Nelson. After rehearsing three songs we take a break. I walk up to Nelson and whisper, "We have to tell them."
He nods, "Guys," he says walking over to the couch. I sit on the armrest next to Kevin, "we have to tell you something."
Zander groans, "Do you have to? I have to go!"
"Alexander Francis Robbins sit your ass down." I hiss. He obeys and sits on the couch.
Kevin chuckles, "Francis."
Nelson rolls his eyes, "Now this is a serious matter involving our dear friend, Zander."
"Excuse me?!" Zander starts getting defensive. Nelson just ignores him and continues, "He's been lying to us."
"WHAT?!" Kacey, Kevin and Zander yell.
I pull out the recorder, "Listen" and I press play.
OH SNAP! CLIFF HANGER! So tomorrow Zander's secret will be revealed and it might get a little intense. Im not sure since I'm not the best writer... and here's the order of how everyone met.
Stevie and Nelson- Since they were three
Stevie, Nelson and Kevin- Kindergarten
Stevie, Nelson, Kevin, and Kacey (plus the cheerleaders)- Second grade
Stevie, Nelson, Kevin, Kacey (plus the cheerleaders), and Zander- Eighth grade
As you can see Stevie and Nelson are the closest. Zander is second closest to Stevie. Somehow it's going to be Zevie. Any idea? And...
