(Zander)
Nelson, Kevin, Stevie, and I were sitting at our lunch table. Note I said sitting and not eating. We would be eating...but I don't think the food on our trays are edible. Anyway, Nelson and Kevin were playing level who knows what of furious pigeons on their phones while Stevie was scribbling lyrics in her song notebook. Her brown curls were resting on her shoulder and would bounce every time she shook her head and furiously erased her recent lyrics. Her left arm would brush against my right arm every now and then and her soft skin smelled like vanilla. And I, Zander Robbins, would like to say that I was searching the cafeteria for a hot girl to flirt with, but no. As you can tell, I was staring at my best friend, Stevie Baskara.
Kacey came running up to us squealing holding a flier in her hand. She took a seat between Stevie and Kevin while waving the flier around frantically. The four of us looked at our lead singer, then went back to whatever we were doing before. Kacey sighed and squealed again, this time louder.
Stevie was the first to speak up, "Does this matter involve boys, parties, dances, clothes, Molly, or a gig for Gravity 5?"
By this time, Kevin and Nelson had reluctantly put down their phones and I averted my gaze from Stevie. "Well..." Kacey started. "It involves everything in that list, except for a gig." Immediately, the rest of us returned to our previous activities. "Guys!" Kacey said frustrated. "This is important! This Saturday is...wait for it...THE SPRING BALL!" No reaction from the four of us. Kacey continued, "And we're all going!"
We all sat up straight.
(Nelson)
Me? I have to go the Spring Ball. That means I need date! I should ask Grace! What? I can't do that! She'll reject me! And I've NEVER been rejected by a girl! Well, maybe that's because I've never asked a girl out. But still! I don't want to get rejected!
(Kevin)
Woah! Awesome! A Spring Ball. That gives me the chance to ask out my future wife, Kacey Simon. Ahhhh. Life. Is. Good. WAIT! Kacey probably wants to go with Dean! It's okay. She will fall for my Kevin Charm.
(Kacey)
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeep! I'm so excited! Everything is going to be SO perfect! Dean will ask me, which will make Molly BEYOND jealous, I will have the perfect dress, which will also make Molly BEYOND jealous! Sigh. My life is so perfect.
(Zander)
A Spring Ball. Cool! Let's see...my date. I could always ask Stevie. But there's no way she would say yes. She's got that stupid crush on stupid Justin Cole. But there's no harm in trying! Yeah. I'll do it. I am going to ask Stevie Baskara to be my date for the Spring Ball.
(Stevie)
Did I hear her right? Did she just say that I, Stevie Baskara, was going to a ball? As in a place where you go with a date to dance? This is not happening. First of all, who would ask me to go with them? And second...I can't dance! I wonder if Zander will ask me. Wait...did I just think that? No. I do not have a crush on my best friend. I don't. I have a crush on Justin Cole. But Justin probably won't ask me either. Ugh. Now I'm probably going to go shopping with Kacey for the "perfect" dress. Gosh. I hate the word perfect.
Nelson interrupted my thoughts, "Hey guys. Do you think I should ask Grace to be my date?" Everyone turned to Nelson. "YES!"
"Okay. Me next," Kacey started. "I am going to the dance with Dean!"
"Awesome Kace! Did he already ask you?" I asked.
Kacey pouted, "No. But he will!"
I looked at Kevin who looked a bit dejected. I leaned over to Zander and whispered to him, "Is it just me or does Kevin look a little upset?"
"It's not just you." His voice tickled me ear as a rush went through my body. Woah. That did not happen. I am not falling for my best friend.
"What about you, Kevin?" asked Nelson.
"Ummm...I-I...don't know," he stammered.
"Awww..." Kacey said. "Now Stevie."
"Well..." I started. "I was thinking maybe Justin Cole would ask me." Kacey face lit up. I quickly finished, "But that will probably never happen...so I might not go."
Kacey's eyes got wide. "Come on Stevie! Justin definitely will ask you! Trust me." She turned to the boy next to me. "What about you, Lover Boy?"
I shifted myself so I could look at Zander. Surprisingly, he looked a little lost. "Umm...not so sure yet."
"What?!" I exclaimed. "You don't know who you're going to ask? When there so many of your oh-so-amazing fan girls out there?"
Zander just shrugged your shoulders. "I don't know. I kind of want to ask this one girl, but she probably has a date already."
I couldn't help it, but I did feel a little jealous when Zander said he had a girl on his mind. But what did I expect coming from Lover Boy.
(Zander)
Okay. I HAVE to ask Stevie before Justin does. She may not know it, but Justin has been eyeing her lately so I'm going to have to work fast. The bell interrupted my thoughts and we all went our separate ways to our next class.
Skip to the end of the day when Gravity 5 has band practice
(Kevin)
Nelson and I sat on the couch while waiting for the others. He was playing Furious Pigeons but I was in no mood. Nelson finally looked up at me. "Dude. You okay? Does this have anything to do with the fact that your dream girl already has plans?"
I glared at my friend, "Hey. Kacey never said that she was going with Dean. She said she wanted to. Who knows? Dean might not ask her! But then again, she's the most beautiful girl on the planet! Who wouldn't ask her!" I sighed and sunk deeper into the couch while Nelson patted my shoulder.
At that moment, Kacey, Stevie, and Zander shuffled into the room. I stood up. "Ready to practice?"
"Wait." Kacey said. "I think we should first fill each other in on our dates progress. And since I'm dying to tell you guys...I'll go first!"
Stevie rolled her eyes, "Go on."
"So...Dean asked me to the dance! Eeeeeeeeeeeep!"
Zander high fived Kacey while Stevie gave her a quick hug. "That's awesome Kace!" I just sighed not knowing what else to do.
"Okay me next." Stevie looked pretty excited about this so I guessed she got what she wanted. "So...JUSTIN COLE ASKED ME TO BE HIS DATE!" she screamed.
"AHHHH!" Kacey screamed too, hugging Stevie. "I told you he would ask you!"
Nelson turned to me. "Uhh...Kevin? Do you see Zander's face?"
I glanced over at Zander who was staring at Stevie sadly. "I guess we know who that girl was," I said to Nelson who nodded. "So...you okay about the whole Kacey thing?" he asked me. "Yeah..." I nodded.
Suddenly, Zander blurted out of nowhere, "I'm going with Molly!"
Nelson and I stared at him while Kacey and Stevie stopped their conversation about dresses and glared at him.
Kacey took a step towards Zander. "Garfunkel Molly?
Zander nodded once.
"Why?" Stevie questioned.
"Well, one: she's hot. Two: she didn't have a date. And three: she's hot! I'm sorry if you guys don't like her but I'm going with Molly!" And with that, he stomped out of the room.
Nelson weakly offered, "I'm going with Grace." Kacey immediately patted Nelson's head. "Awesome Nelson! Congrats!" I gave Nelson a "man-hug" but I noticed that Stevie was just staring at the door with her arms crossed.
"So Kevin. What about you?" Kacey asked me.
"Uhhhh...haven't decided yet."
"That's okay. It's only Thursday so you still have time to find a girl."
"Actually I was think I would go alone."
"Oh that's fine, too! As long as you're there!" Kacey turned to all of us now. "Well since Zander has weirdly left...band practice is canceled! Come on Stevie! We have to find the PERFECT dress!" And with that, Kacey dragged Stevie out of the room, leaving Nelson and I to go home.
