POV Stella
It was another day at school and everyone was gathered in the cafateria for lunch. It was actually calm and peacfully for a change. Mo and Scott were holding hands under the table and staring at each other with their normal love dazed eyes, Charlie was flirting with some girls from another table near by, and Olivia and Wen were chatting over ideas for another song and laughing together.
Everything was... calm... "Where's Beech?" I thought when it dawned on me that we hadnt fought all day which was very unusual. I searched the room until I caught sight of Ray's signature blonde, spiked hair. He was just entering the cafateria and everyone went silent. When Ray looked up his eyes meet with mine. I couldn't stop the blush that spread acroos my cheeks so I quickly turned around, hoping he didn't see. Everyone went back to what they were doing, but the cafateria just seemed... quieter...
Until my phone went off, blaring the chorus to Mudslide Crush's song 'And The Crowd Goes'. With that EVERYONE pointed their attention to out table, wondering which one of our phones that was.
When I pulled my phone out of my pocket to answer it everyones jaws dropped, eyes bugged out, or the gasped in suprise. Probably expecting it to have been Scott's phone, not the leader of Lemonade Mouth, enemy of Ray Beech, Stella Yamada's phone.
"Hello?" I answer my phone, sound uncertian.
"Stella, Is today when your friends are supposed to come over after school for band practice?" asked the caller which Stella relized to be her mom.
"YES! We always, ALWAYS, have band practice over there on Mondays... and last I checked, TODAY IS MONDAY!" Stella half yelled, half said to her mom.
"Well... can you have it somewhere else?" her mom asked.
"No, we can't 'Have it somewhere else'!" Stella told her mom, obviously angry.
"Stella..." Her mom trailed off in a unpleased tone.
"Whatever." Stella huffed before hanging up.
Pocketing her phone, and storming towards the cafateria doors. Once she got to the doors of the cafateria, she relized that everyone was still staring at her.
"WHAT, gotta problem?" Stella asked, more of shouted, to everyone and they all turned back to what they were doing before.
"Uh, Stella?" Olivia asked, sounding uncertian and bewildered, "Why is your ringtone... Mudslide Crush?"
Stella rolled her eyes before saying "Is that a problem? Can I not like other bands now?" Stella asked.
"Yeah, but its... Mudslide Crush!" Mo stepped in, saying 'Mudslide Crush' like it was the most disgusting thing ever.
"Yeah, and I happen to like Mudslide Crush!" Stella says matter-or-factly before storming out of the cafateria.
Once Stella was farther from the cafateria she sat down, leaning against the wall in a hallway, she pulled out her phone and decided to text her band mates.

Stella begun to relax and put in her earbuds, listening to Mudslide Crush's song 'Don't Ya Wish U Were Us?', oblivous to the person walking towards her until they sat down next to her and took out one of her earbuds and put it in their own ear.
"R-Ray?" Stella said when she looked up.
"Hey." he simply said before offering her an open can of Mel's Lemonade.
"You sure you didn't poison it?" Stella asked, a slight smile spreading across both their faces.
"Here," Rays said befor taking a drink of it himself, and then handing it back to her. "Now you know its not poisoned.
Stella laughed, and then gladly took a drink of the lemonade. They continued sitting there, listening to Mudslide Crush and drinking Mel's Lemonade until the bell sounded, signaling to go to class.
Ray got up first and offered Stella his hand and helped her up. She put up her phone and earbuds as Ray threw away the empty Lemonade can.
"See ya, Yamada." Ray said, smiling at Stella with a real smile, before walking toward his next class.
"Yeah, See ya." Stella said, a bit dazed as to what just happened, before heading off in the oppisite direction.
