Cliche chapter. The next one might be much more weirder. REVIEW!
(Zander)
I'm in the band room after school for band rehearsal. Actually, we don't really practice. We usually just hangout. At least Max wasn't here, and I could be myself around my friends. Nelson is playing Furious Pidgeons, Kacey is texting, Kevin is banging on his drums, and Stevie is writing in a journal?
"You have a journal?" I blurt. I cover my mouth hoping she didn't hear me. Too late. The whole band heard me. Stevie looks up.
"So what? I have a journal. I'm a girl. You do it. Is that a problem?" she asks me putting her book down on the coffee table.
"No?" I say awkwardly. So much for being the cool kid of Gravity 5.
"So Stevie, how did it go with Max?" Kacey asks Stevie acting like she was never at the library.
"It was fun. We talked and stuff." Stevie says and smiles thinking about what happened. It was like a knife to the stomach.
"Stuff? What stuff?" Kacey asks.
"You know what? I got to go. See you guys later." Stevie says and leaves.
"Okay, since there is no bass player, there is no band practice." Kacey says.
"There wasn't going to be a band practice anyways." Kevin says and stops banging on his drums. He just stares at something. I look where his gaze is focused, and I see why he stopped playing.
Stevie's journal. It was laying right on the coffee table. Did she leave it on purpose? Kevin comes toward the coffee table and he picks it up.
"Don't do it Kevin." I say.
"Come on Zander. Don't you want to know what happens in her life? Stevie's life?" Kevin says. He did have a good point.
"Read an entry." Kacey says. Oh no. What if Stevie caught us?
Kevin opens the book carefully and reads a page.
"I don't usually do this, but Kacey made me. She said it would help me be much more feminine. It was writing in a journal, or wearing sparkles for the rest of my life, it was pretty obvious which one I would consider." Kevin reads.
"Turn to today's date." Kacey says. Kevin starts turning pages, and eventually stops on the page he's looking for. He looks at the page, and smiles.
"What's so great?" Nelson asks him.
"She has a page about her crush." Kevin says. What?
"What does it say?" I blurt. Stupid habit of mine. Kevin eyes the page, and reads.
"Stevie's crush. Okay, it says here that he makes everyone smile. It also says he has an interest for music. He has raven locks, and brown eyes. She says that they are kind of close." Kevin says. Oh no. It explained Max. It was obviously Max.
"Dude. There are only two people who fit those traits." Kevin says. I feel everyone's stares piercing through me.
"And those would be?" I ask him.
"You and Max."
"Let's just leave the book here, so that way, Stevie won't know anyone touched it." I say.
"Don't try to change the subject Zander." Kacey says.
"I know it's stupid of me, but I'm just scared of the answer." I say.
"Are you scared that she likes someone else? Or are you scared that she could actually like you?" Nelskn asks me.
"I don't know." I say.
