I don't own Lemonade I did- there would've been Starlie.

Love and Peace,

Charlie's POV
_

I feel weird whenever we're alone. My heart drops in my stomach and I start breathing heavier and faster. What is that? A simple crush.

I parked in my usual space in between Scott and Wen. I calmly walked into the pizzeria and found my friends at a usual round table.

Stella's POV
_

I spotted Charlie Delgado himself walk into Dante's. Always the last one. I don't even have a car and I got here before him! I looked down at his feet to see what kicks he was wearing from Japan. We often made a game of where his shoes were made. He sat down and I blurted;

"Taiwan.$10."

"China."

"Indonesia."

"Thailand."

"India."

"Yamada." Charlie said nonchalantly.

"'s 55 dollars from you losers. And in one day!"

"Wait,55?" Olivia asked,obviously confused. Ah, sweet,innocent Olivia.

"Remember earlier when Charlie bet you five dollars that Mo was going to text us in 5 seconds?"

"Yeah." She said, obviously still not getting it.

"Well, at the end, you owed him ten because her was going to split it with me."

"Why?"

"Because I was going to say 5, but I was directly in front of Mr. Brennigan."

"Oh,yeah."

"But,Stella, that's a total of 70 dollars! And-"

"People!" Mo exclaimed. "Can we please forget the Stella scam for a little while and focus on why we're here?"

"Let me guess. More summer,more Lemonade Mouth, more money, and better chances of getting into college, right? And what do you mean 'scam' it's not a scam, I'm just epic."

"Whatever,Stell. I'm serious, though. This longer summer could mean more opportunities for Lemonade Mouth. Don't you guys want that?"Mo was now leaning forward,really into the subject.

"Well,sure." Wen said

"Totally." Charlie added.

"Nice." Olivia called, along with everyone else.

"Ha. My girl is smart." Scott said, making Mo blush furiously. There they go again, saying the 'g' word.

For some time now, I've felt pretty left out because I'm the only one at school who doesn't have a boyfriend. Not counting some of the people in the LMHQ, also known as the basement. And even if he boys don't have a girlfriend, they still don't even consider me. It makes me feel even worse when Jade 'accidentally' asks me if we should go on a quadruple date. "Oops! Forgot you don't have a boyfriend."

That girl...

"Stell? Stell-Bell? Stella? Yamada? STELLA YAMADA!" Charlie screamed at me.

"Wha..."

"What do you think?"

"Bout' what?"

He let out a sign- the kind he often got when he talked to Jade too long- and said " Taking the TEST..."

"Oh,yeah. I mean, that test takes up half the day and we might not even PASS!"

"But we might." Olivia said with her ever-present cheerfulness.

"But you all know that I, Stella of Epicness does not have the highest IQ of my fami..." I stopped my previous doubting. "THAT'S IT!" I burst out. " My family! They are SUPER-GENIUSES, AFTERALL! They could help us. This could TOTALLY work!"

"Mo. This is gonna work!"Olivia sing-sang.

"Guys,guys,guys. We have a problem." They immediately stopped dancing and singing, and faced me with very serious faces.

"Well? Blurt it out, Yamada!"

"Well, my parents are going on their second honeymoon and-"

"Aw."

"Focus,Mo. That means the only geniuses left to help are..."

"The Step-Monsters." Everyone said together.

"Well, call them and ask them if they can help us."

I picked up my phone and felt everyone staring at me as I dialed my home phone. Andrew picked up.

"Hello?" He asked.

"We have caller ID, you DON'T have to say hello."

"Yes,but it's the polite thing to do."

"Whatever. Listen. Me and the rest of Lemonade Mouth need a HUGE favor."

"What is it?"

"Did you switch? What,are you working in shifts?"

"What do you want?"

"Me and my friends need help studying for a test next week. What do you say?"

"Sure."

"Gr-"

"On a condition."

After he said his condition, my eyes went wide and I hung up. My mouth was open, and I closed it after I realized it. I blushhed deeply. I had totally just embarrassed myself in front of Charlie. My crush. More on that later.

"Well?" Mo pressed.

"They said yes!" I told them. They completely and totally burst out in celebration.

"On some conditions.." Everyone at the looked at me in complete and utter seriousness.

Love and Peace,

Epic Queen
