Nelson's POV

It's lunchtime and I make my way to the band room. Kacey's probably gonna ask me how the date went. She'll be pretty mad once I tell her I never wore the tux she got me. Zander and Kevin will probably laugh during the story, and Stevie will congratulate me. But this is all just a prediction. The heavens know what they'll say.

"Hey! It's Nelson!" Zander exclaims the second I make it inside the band room. I smile and waltz in there like a celebrity. I feel so weird, but I just went on a date with Wahoo Punch soaked into my hair. Nothing is really weird looking through my eyes.

"How did the date go?" Kacey asks me.

"Well, it was... Interesting." I say choosing my words carefully.

"Interesting? Explain." Stevie says as she heads towards the couch.

I explain in detail exactly what happened on the date. Well, not everything. I tell them about Molly working at IHOW and how she spilled Wahoo Punch on me. Stevie says it's sweet when I say that Grace poured Wahoo Punch on herself so I wouldn't feel embarrassed.

"You should've worn that tux. How did the date end?" Kacey asks.

"Oh, nothing special. Nothing you would want to hear about." I say, and they all seem convinced... Except Stevie.

"You know what guys? We should talk to Molly about this." Stevie says.

"Talk to her?"

"Come on. Kacey, you'll be able to rub the fact that she needs to work right in her face! And what kind of person does that to people on a date?" Stevie exclaims.

"Yeah. Let's go." Kacey says as she and the guys make their way out of the bandroom into the courtyard. They all go, except for Stevie.

"You never meant to make fun of Molly for her job, did you?" she smirks.

"Nope. Come on. Anyone would kill for that job! She got to be a musician once! And I'm the one who can actually play an instrument! And she now gets to be a magician?" Stevie says in envy.

"So why did you get them to go out there?"

"You need to tell me what happened between you and Grace that night." she says. Oh great.

"I can't tell you what happened."

"Why not?"

"It's something special to me that I would like to keep to myself."

"It's not like I'm Kacey." she says. She does have a good point.

"Fine. But you better not tell anyone. Ever." I say.

"I promise."

"Promise?"

"I cross my heart and hope to die." she says.

"Okay, so you know that porch swing Grace has outside her house?"

"Yup. I used to take naps on it. Why?" she asks.

"Well, stuff happened." I say awkwardly. Stevie tilts her head and she looks confused.

So I tell her about the kiss we almost had, and she smiles as she pictures it in her head. But then I tell Stevie about Grace's sisters interrupting, and she bursts into laughter. And then I tell her the rest about me kissing Grace's cheek before I left her house.

"Stevie, why are you smiling weirdly?" I ask her.

"Sorry. I'm just a sucker for stories like that." she explains.

"Would you smile if that was your story?" I ask her.

"That depends..."

"Depends on what?"

"It depends on the kind of guy I'd live the story out with." she explains.

"You're thinking of Zander, aren't you?" I smirk ask her. She just freezes, and I chuckle lightly at her reaction. Sure, the Perfs don't intimidate her, but a simple question like that does?

"I am not admitting that I like Zander," she says and I smirk at her. "But if I did, it wouldn't even matter. He likes Kacey." she says meekly as she plays with her hair.

"Who said he liked Kacey?"

"Molly did."

"Well, why would you believe whatever Molly says?"

"Because-"

"Stevie, how come you weren't with us?" Zander asks marching back into the band room with Kacey and Kevin at his side.

"Sorry. Just had a little chat with Nelly. That's all." she says.

"What happened?" I ask the three.

"Well, Molly admitted to having a job, but she bragged about having the coolest job ever. As for Grace, she just looked starstruck." Kacey explains.

I never thought I could ever have that effect on Grace. I'm not gonna brag about it though. I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a Perf boy or anything.

"Haha." Stevie laughs impulsively.

"What are you laughing about?" Kevin asks her.

"Just thinking about something." she says and tries to suppress another laugh.

"Tell us about it." Kacey says.

"No, I can't. Zander might be mad at me." she says.

"Go ahead and say it." Zander says with a curious look in his eyes.

"Fine. I was just thinking about the effect Nelson has on Grace, yet Zander never did that to a Perf." Stevie explains.

It takes a moment for Zander to process this info until-

"I so can get a Perf to swoon over me!" he exclaims.

"Oh really. It's funny how all your dates don't last for more than ten minutes, and Nelson and Grace did something that belongs in a movie." Stevie smirks as Zander blushes.

"Well, excuse me for not being the romantic type."

"Are you sure? You got a bunch of roses and gave them out to every single lady at Brewster."

"My mother's a florist. She had extras." Zander says bluntly.

"You even gave one to Ms. McFeldipple."

"Hey! I don't pick favorites."

Stevie's POV

"Hey Zander..." I say eyeing his wrist.

"Yeah Steviekins?" he asks. I scoff at his reply.

"What's that?" I ask pointing to a leather cuff bracelet he's sporting.

"Oh, this thing?" he asks holding his wrist up. "I've had it for a while now."

"Really? I've never noticed it." I say. It looks cool. It's worn, but who could go wrong with a vintage look?

"There's not much to tell about it. I've had it for a while now." he says eyeing it.

"Ohh... Tell us about it." Kacey says. She's probably expecting a romantic story or something.

"It's boring."

"Come on dude. We're bored." Kevin says.

"Fine, but we're not bringing this up again." Zander says and he sighs.

"Go on and tell the story." I say.

"So, back when I was in New York, I used to be in another band." he says quickly.

"A band? What happened? And what does it have to do with a bracelet?" Kacey asks him.

"Well, my band was called One-Sided Love. It consisted of consisted of a few of my old friends. Ben on the drums, Griffin on the piano, and The Voice as the lead singer. I was on the guitar, and ukulele. And there was Vic..." he says as he sighs like a beautiful girl just walked into the room.

"Vic? Was he the bass player or something?" I ask him.

"He was actually a she." he says. Oh.

"So... Was she your girlfriend or something?"

"Something like that." he says probably smiling at the memories in his head.

"How does this have anything to do with a bracelet?" Nelson asks him.

"Well, before I left for Los Angeles, we had our goodbyes. Vic gave me this. You know, to remember One-Sided Love and... Something else." he explains.

It must've been fun being in One-Sided Love. I hope we won't bump into the band when we're in New York. What if they want Zander to come back to the band? Or what I'd Vic has feelings for Zander?

"What was Vic like?" I blurt.

"She was nice. She had long wavy hair, and hazel eyes. She has olive skin. And the despite the fact she's from New York, she had a New Jersey accent." he says smiling and blushing like crazy. He must've had a crush on her. I just know it. My sixth sense just knows it.

RING!

I hate that bell. Hate it so much.

A/N: Yeah. I'm adding a new character. What do you think? Tell me in the reviews?

So it's about 2 in the morning. Typing this up... Watching Swindle while reading Swindle. Haha. How you doing?
