Prologue
I was lying on my bed staring up at the ceiling. I had my Skullcandyheadphones on and music was blasting through my ears and into my brain. I was listening to an (apparently) popular band called Lemonade Mouth.
Zeke Beakerman, of all people, recommended their music to me. But when I asked why his answer surprised me.
"I don't know, their music is so…inspirational. I just thought since you've done a lot of cool wizard stuff to save the world, their music might fit you."
I had blushed at this. Did he think I, of all people was inspirational? No, not possible.
"Be heard, be strong, be proud."
The words to Lemonade Mouth's song echoed in my ears. I hadn't realized I was singing until my mother came in and nudged me. I removed my headphones and paused the song.
"What are you listening to Mija?" She asked, rubbing my back.
"Some new band Zeke recommended." I replied with the usual eye roll.
"Oh? Can I give it a listen?"
Mom sat down next to me and grabbed at my headphones. I took them off and held them tightly so she wouldn't be able to grab at them.
"It's okay Mom, they're not that good anyway."
Mom shrugged and made her way out of my room. But the truth was, Lemonade Mouth was amazing. But somehow, I'd have to keep my opinion of them a secret.
