I've only seen Ian once since our little detention accident. Lucky for me he didn't try to make my life a living hell. Probably because when I did see him last week he was with my brother. He smirked and gave me a small nod when he saw me. Which I thought was a little weird. But then again boys don't hold grudges, right?

"So me and Micah are throwing a party this weekend." Emily said. I don't know what she said after that because I toned her out. She really talked a lot. I now know why my brother said good luck when he first found out I was hanging with cheerleaders. Hanging with them wasn't so bad really. People I didn't know greeted me in the hallway.

While in thought my eyes wondered over to the table my brother sat at. I was surprised to see Ian staring at me already. He didn't even try to break contact when I caught him staring.

"What do you think Storm?"

"About what?" I said breaking eye contact with Ian and turning my attention towards Emily.

"Jesus Christ Storm. have you been listen to anything?"

"Yeah." I said twirling my straw around in my pop.

Emily looked skeptically for a minute then continued. "Lacey parents are in the middle of an nasty custody battle and she had to go stay with her Godmother in New York until things are settled."

I looked around the tabled and was surprised that Lacey wasn't at the table. I have been so consumed in my own thoughts I hadn't even noticed her absence.

"We want to know if you could join the squad." Jessie said.

"Yeah it would mean so much to us." Emma added.

"Haha" I laughed nervously. "Tell me you guys are kidding."

"We need at least 7 girls to compete at nationals." Toni said.

"I'm pretty sure there are a hundred other girls who dream of being a cheerleader in this school." I said in disbelief at what they just asked.

"Please Storm?" Halle said pouting.

"You know we don't talk to anyone else besides you." Emily said.

"Yeah, your the first person to even sit at this table who wasn't a cheerleader." Hailey said.

I took a deep breath. I felt like such a hypocrite. For years I always laughed at girls who were into things like cheerleading competitions. Now I'm friends with a group of cheerleaders and was about to become one.

"Fine, I'll do it."

All of the girls cheered and said thank you. The girls closest to me hugged me.

"Practice is today after school." Emily said with a wide smile.

"Today? I can't." I said

"Why?"

"I have music practice today." I said acting sad. Even though I loved going to music practice.

"Well, can't you call off or say your sick or something?" Emily said searching her mind for a good excuse.

"Nope my mother would kill me." I lied standing and picking up my tray.

------------------------------------

I walked up the stairs to Ms. Quinn house. Before I could knock the door flew open.

"Oh Storm dear you scared me." The tall middle aged woman said. She had on her red sun glasses with a grey skirt and black shirt. Her brown hair was pinned to the back.

"Hello Ms. Quinn are you ready for rehearsal?" I asked happily.

"God I forgot today is Tuesday. Look Storm Honey." She looked down at her watch. "I have an very important meeting I have to be at. I'll be back in about an hour and a half."

"So do you want me to come back?"

"No no sweetie just stay here practice a little. If you need anything my nephew should be up in his room. I did tell you about him right?" She said stepping outside.

"Yeah, yeah sure just go before you be late." I said smiling and walking into her house.

I was kind of skeptical about being in the house alone with someone I didn't know but I decided to stop acting like a baby. I remember Ms. Quinn saying something about her nephew moving in a couple of months ago, but every time I came he was never here so I never met him.

I set my book bag and keys down by the front door and walked down to the den where the piano was. I could play almost any instrument you could imagine. The guitar was my favorite but I felt like playing the piano today.

I walked over running my fingers along the keys before sitting. I sat and played for a good thirty minutes before I heard a cough.

I turned around and froze instantly.

"Never heard one of my aunts students play better than me." Ian said. He was leaning against the entrance of the the den. With his hands in his front pocket smirking at me. He pushed off the wall and started to walk over.

"What are you doing here?" I asked "Are you stalking me?"

I mentally slapped myself for asking the second question.

"Woah, one question at a time princess." He stopped walking and looked at the piano then me. "You play really good."

"Answer my question."

"Well for one I live here." He said sitting at the piano. "Two. I should be asking you the same thing."

I scoffed. "Look if your trying to get me back for what happened in-" he raised his hand and cut me off. "Look it's cool I'm not one to hold grudges." Well that answered everything. "And I kind of deserved it. I flirt like a second grader."

"Flirt?"

"You play better than the rest of the band geeks that my aunt teaches. So why do you come here? You even play better than me." Ian said ignoring my comment and playing a few notes.

"Wow the infamous Ian Grey plays piano?" I said siting back down in front of the piano.

"Yeah that kind of happens when Ellen is your aunt."

"Your aunt used to teach at one of the most prestigious music schools in the world. Considering the way my grades look this is my way into college." I paused for a minute. "But I don't mind I love music."

"I told you you and your brother are nothing a like." He said chuckling and shaking his head.

"Nope." I said starting to play the piano.

"Your true colors are starting to get loud

Have fun praying to your gray god now." I sang lowly

" I'm better because I'm the one with talent." I said smiling.

Ian smirked "was that Woe, Is Me?"

"Yep fame over demise the acoustic version." I said "Woe, Is Me is one of my favorite bands."

Ian raised an eye brow. "Oh really?" And what happened next shocked me Ian started to play the piano and sing.

"All that you taught me to be

Was a moper a dreamer that only refused to dream

Oh save it please

My voice is peaking through your speakers

And Im speaking just to show you the way

How could you shelter me out Im much older now

You shatter like a beaker when I only wanna show you the way." His voice was soft and hushed. "Your not the only one with talent princess." He said winking.

Hold on wait did Ian grey just wink at me? The boy who just a week ago I punched In the face is flirting with me?

He laughed lightheartedly "Woe, is me is one of my favorite bands to."

"You don't seem like the type of girl that listens to them."

"Why because all my brother listens to is lil Wayne?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

He stared at me for a second. "Kind of." He finally said laughing. "Come on, I was just about to watch a movie you should take a break and watch it with me." He gestured towards the living room.

"Ok what is wrong with you?" I asked confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Just last week you were ready to kill me and now your acting all weird calling me princess and shit." I said standing and folding my arms.

"I take it you can't take a joke." He said standing.

"Joke? Prank calling someone is a joke. Knock knock jokes are jokes. Not calling someone a bitch and asking someone's best friend to have a threesome." I whispered the last part angrily just in case Ms. Quinn was back.

"Sorry I guess I have a sick sense of humor." He said running a hand through his hair.

"Yeah whatever."

"So about that movie?" He asked.

"Sure." I said feeling relieved that he wasn't going to butcher me.

As I followed him to the living room I replay my brothers 15 birthday. I laughed slightly as I remembered yelling at my cousin to get her pet spider when it appeared in front of me. Panicking I stumbled back and ended up in Ian's lap knocking the chair over backwards. We laughed and got up then sat on the chair the right way without falling again. I guess you could say I had a little crush back then but not now. That crush died a long time ago. At least I think it did.

"What's so funny?" Ian asked just as that memory faded.

"I was thinking about my brothers birthday party a couple of years ago." I said smirking.

"The time when you jumped in my lap?" He said laughing as he remembered. "A lot of girls have made it clear that they wanted in my pants these past years but none like you."

"Oh, shut up." I said throwing a sweatshirt that was on the coffee table at him. Which I assume it was his since it said Pierce The Veil. I'm going to go out on a lim but I'm pretty sure his 38 year old aunt wouldn't wear that. It's not her type. I sat on the floor as he put the movie in and sat on the couch.

"What?" I said looking over at him he was staring over at me in thought.

"Why are you sitting on the floor?" He laughed.

"Um I dunno. I figured you wanted the couch to yourself."

"Come on, I don't bite. You can sit with me you know? Besides I kind of wanted to use you as a pillow."

"I know," I said as I got up and sat beside him as he put his head on my lap. He always did this when we were younger.

I looked down at him he looked so innocent. He smiled up at me and watched the movie for about two minutes before sitting up.

"Why don't you lay down with me? I know you'll be more comfortable."

"Wha-what?" I had the sudden urge to check his forehead to see if he had a temperature. "I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Come on don't be scared." He said smiling widely. "I'm not going to do anything I promise."

Boy could he push the right buttons to make someone do what he wanted. I finally laid with him and he covered us up. I smiled as he hugged me to him.

"Don't you remember when we were little?"

"Yeah." I answered I tried hard to pay attention to the movie to keep my heart rate down.

"Things were so much easier back then." He let out a long sign.

God I need something more than a movie to help me.

Before I knew it he was tickling me without mercy until I fell off the couch. We got into a round of him tickling and me trying hard to ignore it, until I got cocky. "What's the matter don't like being tickled?" He asked.

"Nope."

"Remember how you used to have a crush on me," he asked.

Wait, he knew about that? "Uh huh," was all I could say.

"Your brother told me you had a crush on me the week after the party." He said lowly.

Curse my brother for his blabber mouth.

He asked me more stuff but all I'd do was say "uh huh, or unh uh." Finally he found a way to get me. He started the tickle attack again and flipped me over pinning my hands above my head.

"You're going to get yourself hurt," he whispered, lowering his face to mine. If I thought my heart was beating fast before I think I might be having a heart attack now.

As I watched him I felt butterflies form in my stomach. He leaned down to kiss me but I moved my face, and laughed. We continued this until he finally won, and captured my lips. I smiled as I felt his lips on mine. This felt like bliss.

My eyes widened in shock as I realized who I'm kissing. I can't kiss Ian. This is my brothers best friend. I shouldn't be kissing anyone I have a boyfriend.

I wiggled free and we went back to trying to watch the movie. Until he decided to talk again, "Do you still have a crush on me?" I wouldn't answer him so he turned me to face him.

"Well? Do you? Seriously, do you still like me?" I stayed quite.

He laughed then got off the couch and picked me up.

"What are you doing?"

he carried me to his bedroom and sat me on his bed. I looked at him confused. "Why'd you bring me in here?" I asked as he closed the door. Which confused me more, since no one was home. But he finally answered me.

"Because I have something to tell you and something to ask you."

Simple as that was I felt lost.

"Since I'll take your silence as a yes to still liking me I figured that it'd be safe to say that I like you to, a lot." he stated.

God what have I gotten myself into?

Authors note:

Sooo, what do you think?:) too fast? I worked hard on this chapter.(Writers block) Sorry if you think this chapter moved a little too fast. Do you think Ian is taking Alex advice from the last chapter or do you think he genuinely likes Storm? Oh, yeah what do you think Storms boyfriend will say about the kiss? Don't worry Mike will be coming back into the story very soon. ;) Dun Dun Dun (that's me trying to be dramatic)

Oh and get this I found a person to be Ian... yay! (jumps up and down) 'Oliver Sykes' from Bring Me The Horizon. Just so you could have an idea of what Ian looks like (except Ian has grey eyes)
