This is the story of how the band Lemonade Mouth was formed, five different teenagers, who all loved one thing, music.
Olivia White's a 5.6 feet tall, shy girl. She has long blonde hair and brown eyes, she lives with her grandmother, since her mother died, when she was a baby, and her father's in prison. She has an extremely old cat, called Nancy, that was of her mother, and has very few friends. Although she doesn't likes to perform to a lots of people, she has a beautiful voice and plays the guitar.
Wendell Gifford, Wen, for short, is a boy who's struggling to accept his dad's 28 years old girlfriend. He has short and spiky, red hair, has green eyes and freckles on his face. He's 6.2 feet tall, lives with his father and little sister, plays the piano and loves to rap.
Stella Yamada is a new student who has shoulder length, brown hair, with blonde highlights at the front and has brown eyes. She's 5.5 feet tall and comes from a geniuses family, her dad, mom and younger, twin brothers, she is very outspoken and defends fiercely her beliefs. She plays the guitar, sings and is vegetarian.
Mohini Banjaree, most known as Mo, is an indian descent girl that lives with her conservative father and mother. She plays the violin and sings exquisitely, she's an excellent student and tries to please her father, while near him, but when he isn't in sight, she changes her clothes and lets loose her personality. She's 5.6, has long, brown hair and brown eyes.
Brandon Shepard, also known as Brad, is a british boy who moved from England, two years ago, because of an offered promotion at work for his aunt. He only lives with her, since his parents died in a shooting, as they were cops. He stands at 6.3 feet tall, has shoulder length, messy, blonde hair, but since it's long it's not as messy as it could be. He has green eyes and a black ring piercing in his left ear, he's really quiet, so nobody, except the principal and his aunt, know he's british. He's really handsome, plays the drums and the violin, and has an amazing voice, although no one ever heard him.
These five met in detention, they all brought with them a can of lemonade from a selling machine that was near the detention's door. They were looking at each other when Ms. Reznik, their music teacher and detention administrator, started complaining about principal Brenigan favouritism towards sports, meanwhile undervaluing the arts. In the middle of her rant, they could hear a toilet being flushed, which made Ms. Reznik explode.
"That's it! I'm going to talk with principal Brenigan to turn this classroom into a music room. While I'm out, you should start cleaning this." She said as she got out of the room.
"She can't make us clean. Its cruel and unusual punishment." Stella said.
"Get used to it, we're in high school." Wen said with a small smile.
"Let's just start cleaning this before we get into more trouble." Mo said while starting to clean some tables.
With the silence, you could hear drops of water fall into the bucket, that made Brad start tapping his fingers, then Wen shook his keys, Mo sprayed with the spraying bottle she was using, Stella clapped her hands and Olivia kept cleaning.
Brad got up, took his drumsticks from his pocket, sat on the drum set stool, Mo grabbed a cello, Wen sat on the piano stool, Stella grabbed a guitar, and they all started playing, this time, Olivia started singing.
Na na na na na, na na
Take a look around
Who would have thought we'd all be here?
So let's mess around
Cause the future is unclear
We got nothing better to do
We're just trying to get through
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Yeah
Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah
All we have is now
Let's make the most of this
Come on break it out
So everyone can hear it
They don't have to understand
But we'll make them if we can
Do you hear me?
Are you with me?
Yeah
Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Let the music groove you
Let the melody move you
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
When we're stuck and can't get free
No matter what, we'll still be singing
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
It's all we got
We're gonna use it
Feel the beat and just let go
Get the rhythm into your soul
Let the music take you
Anywhere it wants to
Come on, come on
Turn up the music
Yeah
While they were playing and singing, Ms. Reznik entered and heard them. When they finished the song, they noticed that she was there, so started apologizing, except Brad, when he starts talking he wants to see people's reaction, so for now, silence is alright, and went to their seats.
"Oh my God, you were amazing! You're destined to perform together, you know what? You should enter Rising Star, that would show Brenigan. So, what do you say." Ms. Reznik said excited. She was met with silence.
"Oh come on, Olivia you have a beautiful voice." She said.
"I'm sorry, but I don't sing." Olivia said.
"We just hear you sing sweetheart."
"Yes, but I don't go well with crowds, I start feeling incredibly sick."
"Mo, if you can play that well the cello, I'm sure you'd be perfect for the bass." Ms. Reznik said hopeful.
"I can't, I play the violin and need to start working for my extra credits." Mo responded.
"Brad, you never talk, and you can play the drums like that." Ms. Reznik said. But Brad just looked at her with an emotionless face. Everyone was curious, when it came to Brad, he never talked, and was always seen listening to music or reading a book, it increased even more people's curiosity, because he was one of the most handsome boys in school, that dressed with style and, apparently, also liked reading. You don't see this combination everyday, he is on the honour roll and, at the same time, is always pranking principal Brenigan.
"And you Stella, you play extremely well the guitar." Ms. Reznik complimented.
"Thanks, but why should we do it?" Stella asked.
"Because of what you said, you deserve to be heard." Ms. Reznik answered.
"I guess this thing of the band won't work then, I mean unless it was a solo career, wait, that'd be cool." Wen said with a dreamy look.
"Well, I really can't force you, but at least you should know a bit about each other." Ms. Reznik proposed. They all groaned. "Or you can start cleaning again." The moment she said that, they all said at the same time, except Brad, "Let's talk!", this made Ms. Reznik grin, so they all sat in a circle. "Okay, we have thirty minutes, you can start Stella."
"Alright I guess, I'm Stella Yamada, I come from Rhode Island, I like singing and playing the guitar."
"Excellent, next one." said.
"Hello, I'm Olivia White, I like singing and I play a bit of the guitar."
"Hi there, I'm Wendell Gifford, but people call me Wen, I play the piano and rap."
"Didn't know that you rapped, please continue." Ms. Reznik affirmed.
"Hi, I'm Mohini Banjaree, Mo for short, I like singing and I play the violin."
As they finished, they all looked at Brad, they were all curious to know him a bit better, he always had a cool and distant look, but that changed the moment Brad looked at them, he smiled, something that people weren't used to see.
"All right? I'm Brandon Shepard, but call me Brad, I play the drums and the violin."
"You're british?" They all cried when he finished talking, still shocked at these discoveries, first Brad could smile, second, he could talk, and third, he's british.
"Spot on mates." He said while smiling, a charming smile at that, the ladies thought.
"You've been here for two years, why haven't you ever talked or smiled?" Wen asked, after recovering from the shock.
"Well, there was no necessity, the teachers never asked and I didn't have a motive to smile. But now that I have one, after seeing your reactions, I can smile and talk without a problem.
After everyone got over their shock, they started relaxing again, and found out that Brad was a really nice and funny guy.
"Brad, what more secrets have you kept from us?" Mo asked with a playful tone, that elicited laughs from the occupants in the room.
"I guess we could say I can sing a bit." He said with a grin.
"Now really? Let's hear it then." Ms. Reznik said with a smile.
Brad got up and grabbed a violin that was on a shelf.
"I've been working in this music for a couple of weeks, it's called Apologize, so tell me what you think." He said and started playing. (This music it's not mine, it's from One Republic.)
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down
But wait...
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around and say..
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
(But that's nothing new)
Yeah yeah
I loved you with a fire red, now it's turning blue
And you say
Sorry like the Angel Heaven let me think was you,
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
Woahooo woah
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah
I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground...
They were shell shocked again, Brad could play the violin almost as good as Mo, and that was saying a lot, and his voice was absolutely amazing.
"Was it that bad?" Brad asked, that was enough for them to snap out of it and and talking erupted.
"You were amazing."
"Fantastic."
"You have an awesome voice."
"That was incredible."
"Why have you kept that beautiful voice of yours away from us. You see, this is one more reason for you to form a band, but well, before you go I just want to know why you got detention." Ms. Reznik said.
"You all saw what happened to me." Stella said, which made them laugh.
"I kinda asked a teacher if he was stupid." Wen said a bit embarrassed.
"I was caught skipping classes." Mo said.
"Principal Brenigan caught me reading in a broom closet." Olivia said.
"I wrote on the principal's door 'I have' and then glued a pair of twisted knickers." This made everyone crack up laughing, even the teacher.
"Okay, you can go, detention's over." Ms. Reznik said.
