Happy Zevie Month! I want to thank all of you for all of your lovely reviews! Every time I check my updates and I see the reviews my face lights up like a Christmas tree! I am not joking. I seriously wish you guys could see me so you could see how retarded I look! Now I will stop with all of my ranting by saying (once again) HAPPY ZEVIE MONTH!

Disclaimer: I do not own How to Rock, yet again

[Stevie's P.O.V.]

I wake up to my alarm going off. I quickly press the snooze button. I was just getting ready to fall back asleep when I get a text from Kacey. Hey Stevie, don't even think about pressing that snooze button again. It's Halloween, lazy bones! Get out of bed. :D

I roll my eyes at how well she knows me and slowly get out of bed to get ready for the day. I can't believe they make us go to school on a holiday. No one is going to actually pay attention in class, especially me. I finish getting ready and head down the stairs. I get a text halfway down the stairs.

(Stevie, Zander)

Good morning sunshine! Need a lift? (:

I look at my phone and recall what happened last night. There is no way I will be able to ride with him this morning after what happened. I think of an excuse.

No, not today. Brother actually decided to take me…

Oh, that's unusual.

Very. He insisted on taking me after he heard about what happened last night.

He found out about :*

No, no. I mean about the not having a ride and whatever yesterday. He felt bad that you had to take me everywhere.

That doesn't sound like your brother. He knows I don't mind taking you places. (;

Well, I guess he just changed personalities. Okay!

Sheesh Steves. You okay?

I'm fine. See you later.

Okay… Bye, baby!

I read the last text over and over again in my head. He always calls me baby and everyone else, but this time it felt weird. It felt different.

(Time skip to Stevie getting to school)

Rejecting Zander's ride might have been a really bad idea. My brothers weren't home so I had to practically run to school I was soaked in sweat and I forgot my binder at my house. I couldn't let Zander find me like this. He would know that I lied to him. I walked through the doors of the school and used the last ounce of strength I had to run to the nearest bathroom. I ran inside and over to the sinks panting against the wall.

"Stevie?" a familiar voice asked.

I turned around to face the second-in-command perf, Grace.

"What do you want Grace?"

"I don't want anything." She replied.

There was an awkward silence, the only thing you could hear was me still trying to catch my breath.

"Why are you in the perf bathroom?" Grace asked ending the silence.

"Why do I have to tell you? You will just run off and tell Molly." Say back harshly.

"Why do people always say that? I'm my own person. I don't always listen to her." She pouts.

I give her a look and she sighs.

"Just tell me why you're here. I won't tell. I'm tired of Molly telling me what to do."

"Fine. I lied to Zander and I need to cool off here until the bell rings so I can go to first period without him finding me." I say reluctantly.

"Oh, well Molly won't be back here anytime soon so you can stay here. Why did you lie to Zander?" she asked.

"Long story, Grace."

"I'm not going anywhere anytime soon." She replies.

"I don't know."

"I'll tell you what. If you tell me whatever that is, I will tell you my problem too."

"Why do I need to know your problem?"I state.

"Then we both know each other won't tell or their secret will be let out." She states and put her hands on her hips.

"Why should we even tell at all then Grace?"

"Because I need to get this off of my chest and I can tell you do too!" she yells and then realizes that she just yelled at the most terrifying girl in the school, besides Molly.

I look at her shocked at first and then my face softens into a small smile. "Okay Grace. You first."

The time flies by as we both share the details from yesterday about Zander and Nelson. She tells me all the things that happened with Nelson at the mall and afterwards and I do the same with Zander. I feel a big weight lifted off of my shoulders as I tell her everything. We talk and we laugh until the first bell goes off, indicating it's time for first period. We get up and start walking towards the door with our stuff.

"Maybe we should go out at different times." Grace says.

"Why?" I ask.

"So no one knows we have been together in our free time in the perf bathroom." She says and shrugs her shoulders.

"I like this new Grace. She can actually think straight." I smirk.

"Thanks! Wait….. HEY!" She says and we both go into a fit of laughter. I walk to the door and start to push it open, but let it fall back closed.

I turn around and wink, "I hate you, Grace."

I faintly hear her say, "I hate you too, Stevie." As the door to the perf bathroom closes behind me and I walk off to first period.

Soooo?! How did you like the Stevie and Grace friendship in this chapter? Sorry about the lack of Zevie! I tried to put a little in when they were texting, but it epically failed. Please review and tell me what you think will happen next….. :D
