A/N: Hi people! I'm back! So, I think the last chapter wasn't very good, but I think this one is and you'll like it!

I don't own How to Rock or any music mentioned in this story.

Chapter 2:

Stevie's P.O.V

"To… practice with me later?!" Zander says, very fast. Was it what he wanted to say to me?

"What?" I ask, a little confused, not sure that's what he said.

"You know… Practice… with me… later…" He seems very nervous again, as if trying to get out of this.

Now, just to tease him a little, I ask, with a tone of curiosity and amusement in my voice: "Was because of it that you got so nervous?"

"Yes…?" He answers, more like a question. I raise an eyebrow and look in his eyes. He passes his hand through his hair, looking down, avoiding my gaze. Still without looking at me, he asks:

"You can practice today… or not?" I stare at him again, and I see a light tone of rose on his cheeks. I laugh lightly, making him turn and look at me.

"What?" He asks, looking confused.

"You…"

"What about me?"

"You're blushing…!" I say, laughing a little more.

"Oh…!" Now, the light tone of rose, turned into a red. I laugh louder, unable to contain myself. Next, Zander starts laughing too, and we stayed like this for a while. After we stopped laughing and breathe a little, Zander seems calmer.

"So… will you practice with me today?" He asks. I almost forgot this matter…

"Sorry, Zander. But I can't today…" I answer.

He frowns slightly. "Why?"

"Because… I… I need to do some activities of… biology that I haven't finished…" This time, it's me who's getting nervous!

He raises an eyebrow, but fortunately, ignores: "Oh…" I sigh in relief.

"Hum… Today, do you want me to drive you home?" He asks.

"No, thanks. I'll do the… activity here. It's very noisy at my home… Next I'll go home by feet."

"Ok…"

It gets an embarrassing silence between us for a while… until Zander gets up and walks to the door, saying:

"I'm going to the cafeteria. Are you coming?"

"You can go, I'll go later… I'll stay here for a while…" I answer. He nods and walks out the door.

When he left, I sigh in relief. He almost found out what I'm really going to do today… I'll practice. But don't play the bass or any other instrument, I'll practice my singing. Yes, my singing! I'll sing a song that I wrote, and I don't want anyone to listen to me… It's very personal, and I don't know if people would like my voice... I never sang in front of anyone… Even if it's Zander, it's better not to risk.

I get up from the couch and go out of the bandroom, walking to the cafeteria.

Zander's P.O.V

Stevie comes and sits next to me in Gravity 5's lunch table. Once she does it, Kacey begins to say:

"Now that we're all here, may I ask… Is there anybody here that doesn't know why this show is so important to us?" Kevin shrugs and raises his hand slowly, in a shy way. Kacey rolls her eyes and continues:

"We all know that the school is receiving exchange students, who will be here throughout the month and, as the ball will be on the last Friday of the month, it means that they'll be there and will see our perform. That's why we've been practicing so much these days…"

Kacey is interrupted by Nelson, screaming about the game 'Furious Pigeons': "I got the gold pigeon with armor! Overcomes this, Kevin!"

Kevin looks at Nelson, as if feeling pity of him, and responds: "Great thing… I've got the diamond pigeon with laser!" They begin to argue.

Kacey sighs and walks quietly behind the two, and without them realizing it, she leans over and screams in their ears.

With the scare, Nelson almost drops the game apparatus of his hands, and Kevin screams like a girl, literally falling from the bench where he was sitting. Stevie's eyes widen in the direction of Kevin, looking scared and worried. But when he gets up and says he's okay, Stevie and I burst out laughing!

Kevin and Nelson stop arguing, and Kacey, feeling victorious, walks back to her place, saying:

"Continuing… if any of these students like our show, film and post, we can become famous in other countries! It's a great chance to be known worldwide and become more popular!" Kacey finishes saying, with a big smile on her face.

"But, what's the difference to a foreign post our show, instead of someone from our country? Why can't we become famous with someone from here posting?" Kevin asks, clearly confused.

Kacey opens her mouth to answer, but Nelson interrupts again: "It's very simple, my friend devoid of intelligence! You have many followers on social networks, right?!" Kevin looks at Nelson, as if to say 'Really? Me?'. Nelson gets the message and quickly points to Kacey, saying:

"Kacey has many followers on social networks, right?" Kevin nods in agreement. Kacey rolls her eyes smiling, and Nelson continues: "And, probably, most of these followers are in this country, and they see what Kacey posts. So, obviously, foreigners have most of their followers in their countries…"

"And these followers see what they post!" Kevin says, finally understanding. Nelson nods, seeming to feel pride of the friend. Me and the girls roll our eyes smiling; the friendship of Nelson and Kevin is strange…! But our smiles disappear when we see Molly and Grace approaching.

"Hi, guys! How are you?" Molly says, with her fake sweet voice.

Kacey crosses her arms and replies coldly: "Molly."

"So, have you given up to play at the ball?" Molly asks, still with the fake voice.

Kacey frowns. "Why would we give up performing at the ball?"

"It's nothing… I just thought you would be pious and would save the ears of the foreigners of your horrible music!"

Stevie and Kacey drop the jaws, shocked. But, before Molly could go out and be the winner, Stevie gets up and walks to Molly to face her:

"And, by chance, the music of the Perfs is better than our?"

"Wow, Stevie! I always thought you were stupid, but I realized that you're not!" Molly says, putting her hand on the heart and pretending to be moved.

"And why do you think that you're better than us?" Stevie asks, folding her arms.

"Uhg, Loserberry! You just took out all the moral of what I told you… Only because, the Perfs, are the best band of the school!"

"Best band of the school? You only have one music!"

"Hey! 'How to Be Popular' is a great song!" Molly advocates.

"It might be, but your voice takes out all the quality of it!" Stevie replies and Grace gets shocked.

"Woow!" Kevin and Nelson say at the same time, while clapping. Stevie looks at them and laughs lightly.

"There's nothing wrong with my voice!" Molly says, already very angry.

"Maybe there wasn't, before you suck helium gas and forget to return it to normal!" When Stevie says this, I flick the mouth, holding me to not laugh.

Now, it's Molly who's shocked. Grace leans to Molly's ear and asks: "Molly, was your voice beautiful before?"

"Grace!" Molly scolds her, looking at the blonde with a cold look, full of anger.

Grace shrugs the shoulders and says quietly: "Sorry…"

Molly takes one last look at us, before turning around and go stomping angrily to the Perfs table. Grace looks at us for the last time too, smiling at us (more specifically for Nelson) and waves, until she turns and goes join Molly.

When they left, Stevie turns back to us and gives in me and Kacey a high-five. After she sits, we all started to laugh and comment on the matter, until the bell rings and we all go to our lockers, pick up the material for the next class.

A/N: So what do you think? Did you love it? Did you hate it? Please tell me your opinion! I really wanted to write more, but it would be very large, so I stopped by here and what I was going to write will be in the next chapter... but tell me what you think!

Bye people! :)
