A/N: I haven't updated in forever….seriously. How to Rock just ended (asdhdsfdshdchzd I'm so emotional I can't even process it) and I got this idea when it had just started. In fact, it's been so long since I've updated I almost forgot my plans for this story. Welp, there's nothing else really to say but Nickelodeon is stupid and happy Zevie month!

Well we're on the point of Nickelodeon being stupid, they actually tweeted me last night! They had said something along the lines of "Tackle charades? Yeah it's charades but…..violent. #ZevieConvos." And I replied: "You just tweeted about Zevie!" And they replied: "Well, it was a conversation between Zander and Stevie :)." I actually think it's pretty cool they replied to me, since they're my favorite network and everything.

Oh….and I'm so sad. Our babies are gone! But now we must move on with the story and thanks for the lovely reviews!

Chapter 5: The Run-In

Molly's POV

I sigh dramatically at my reflection in the mirror. "What do you think, Zander?"

Zander looks up, startled. "Uh…nice." He says hesitantly.

I roll my eyes. He obviously doesn't think so.

I'm wearing a short, frilly white dress. It's obviously not short enough to impress Zander, and it's a bit too frilly for my taste. It's sleeveless though, which is a bonus. I decide I can do better. I head into the dressing room and slip it off then put on my white sheath, with red roses patterned on it, and my red cardigan. I slip on my white high heels and hightail it to the next store. (I'm in a descriptive mood)

In the next store, I find a cute light pink dress that's really short. It has a lot of sequins at the top, which is sleeveless. There's a giant bow at the middle and then just pink fabric. I take it with a smirk and try it on.

"What about this one?" I ask Zander, who's looking a little dazed.

"Well, it's uh, a little short." He stammers.

"That's a good thing, right?" I ask him.

"Not exactly." He mumbles.

I stomp off to the dressing room.

[an hour later]

As I head into Forever 21 (A/N: My favorite store!) annoyed because Zander had left to go to the food court, I see a face I do not want to see.

Stevie Baskara.

"What are you doing here?' I say rudely as she accidentally bumps into me.

'Shopping, what else." She answers snottily.

"Since when did Loserberry shop?" I ask her, with growing curiosity.

"Kacey is with me, thank you very much." She retorts.

I smirk. "Oh, so Miss Simon dragged you here. I see."

"Yep." She replies shortly, then points to Kacey shopping in another section, inspecting a navy blazer. I smirk. So last year.

I then check what Stevie has. A cream crocheted sweater; cropped dark wash skinny jeans, brown sperrys, and a brown fedora. Not bad. I also see her eyeing a multi-colored scarf. Maybe her taste isn't too bad, but her outfit is horrid. She's wearing ripped denim shorts with studded black tights and combat boots. That's bad enough. Then she's wearing an ivory lace cropped top and a leather jacket, and to top it all off, black feather earrings and her signature aviators.

An idea dawns on me. "Hey Stevie, you should check out the beanies they have here. They're really cute and stylish. They'd be great to add to your collection." I smile the friendliest smile I can muster, then gesture towards the beanie section.

Stevie's POV

I'm shocked at Molly's sudden change of attitude. First she's all mean and snotty and checking out my outfit, then she's offering to help me shop? Something's fishy.

I muster a smile in return. "Sure." I reluctantly agree, taking the bait.

She leads me to the beanie section and offers me help, giving me insightful advice on what's so this season. I never thought I'd actually take advice from a Perf, but I'm actually having fun. I pick out a few new beanies; a red one, a blue and purple one, one with different shades of gray, and, my favorite, a light blue one with pearls. (A/N: I actually own that one!)

Then, all of a sudden, Molly's attitude changes again. She pushes me against the wall when no one is looking and hisses in my ear: "Stay away from Zander."

"Uh…I…..wasn't planning on dating him?" I stammer.

"Stay away from him, or else." She warns.

I can see what Grace meant by Molly being threatening. I think. "You don't scare me, Molly." I lie.

Molly snorts. "Look, Loserberry. I don't play your little games. I'm only dating Zander until Prom. Once he leaves your pitiful band and you fail, you can have him."

She then lets go of my neck (which she had been squeezing.) and struts off. I take a deep breath.

Okay.

Nelson's POV

"You can do this, Nelly." Stevie encourages from the spot at their lunch table.

I take a couple deep breaths. I can do this. I tell myself. I can do this. I can do this.

"Stevie's right." Agrees Kevin. "You're the suave-est guy in Brewster."

I snort. "Yeah, right. That would be Zander."

'But Zander's not here. And just think of the all times Zander has made a move on Stevie to help you." Kevin replies.

Stevie's cheeks are stained a bright red at that and I chuckle. "Okay. Will do."

Stevie then nudges me as Grace approaches. She looks angelic in her teal cardigan and shimmery cream sheath, She's wearing beautiful pearl earrings and teal ballet flats. She looks perfect.

"Uh, h—hi, Grace." I stammer.

"Hi, Nelson!" She responds cheerily. "Are you going to see the new Moon Battle movie on Friday? It looks soo good!"

"Um, about that." I say, scratching my ear. "I was wondering, if uh, you'd like to go with me?"

"Sure!" Grace replies. "Pick me up at 7?"

I nod and she walks off with a final wave and a: "Can't wait!"

I'm in a daze.

Stevie gives a high five and a: "Yay, you did it!" and Kevin gives a pat on the back a : "Nice work, bro."

Kacey, who had been watching from the sidelines, saunters over. "Good job. But personally, I think it was your excellent outfit that made her say yes." She says, pointing to my outfit (a pale yellow v neck, tan cords, and blue loafers) that she had picked out.

I laugh. "Sure."

It doesn't matter.

Because I have a date with Grace King!

A/N: I hate this chapter. I really, really, really, really, really hate this chapter. It's a boring filler chapter that has no Zevie that won't get any reviews. Sorry.
