Chapter 2: Confusion
The next day, everyone was concerned. Wen walked past Olivia, not even bothering to stop and say 'hey' like he usually did. Olivia knew he hated her. She knew that she had broken his heart.
Mo's POV:
Wen's acting weird. Olivia looks regretful. I knew something was up. Usually they would say a quick 'hey' and make small talk before they left for their classes, but today, nothing. I knew better than to pry though. Their love life is probably a twisted labyrinth that I'll never make my way out of. However, I couldn't help but wonder…
Olivia's POV:
As Wen walked past, I could see the hurt in his eyes. I felt as if my heart had been ripped out from my chest. It wasn't his fault. He didn't know.
Stella's POV:
"Wait, Wen!" Olivia shouted as she ran after him. I'll never understand those two. I'll never understand love. Then again, I've never felt it. I hope I'll never feel it. I know what happens when two people fall in love. I've seen too many break-ups happen right in this hallway. I have seen broken-hearted people trying to run after the ones they love, only to be swatted away like a fly. Speaking of dumping, here comes the biggest playboy now. Ray. Great. This day just keeps getting better and better. "Hey, Lemonade Losers. Where's lover boy and the little timid mouse." Ray smirked. I rolled my eyes at him. "Oh joy. Look who's here, guys. The ego bomb. Tyrant of the school. And by the way, their names are Wen and Olivia." He smirked again. "Like I even care enough to remember your names, Yamada. Just here to get Scott." He waved Scott over. Scott stayed where he was, his arm around Mo. "Sorry, can't. Going with them." Scott said vaguely, shooting an apologetic look in Ray's direction. Mo grinned up at Scott. She obviously had no idea that Scott actually WANTED to go with Ray. "She has you so whipped!" Ray scowled as he sauntered off. For once I actually agreed with him. I sighed. Love is complicated.
Wen's POV:
I could hear Olivia running after me. I could hear her shouting my name. I knew she had broken up with me for a reason. I just wish she could tell me why. "Wen! Just listen to me!" I heard her scream in desperation. She stepped in front of me, stopping me in my tracks. "Wen, I'm so sorry! It was just that…that it was the day…" she trailed off and started crying. "I know, Liv. I know." I finally understood. She buried her face in my arms. I held her close to me. I'll never let her go again. (A/N Ok, for those who doesn't understand, it was the death anniversary of her mother. So she was pretty emo. Ok, bye for now! )
Olivia's POV:
I finally stopped sobbing. I looked around. We were the only ones. I can't believe this. We were standing alone in the middle of the hallway. In each other's arms. Best part was, we were missing homeroom. I looked up at him and he smiled down at me. He leaned down and kissed me on the forehead. At that moment, all my doubts faded away. We loved each other and that's all that mattered.
"Hey guys!" Stella said as Wen and Olivia walked up at lunch. "So…" "Yeah." Wen smiled. "We're back together."
Mo's POV:
I knew they would work it out. They always do. I looked over at Charlie. He was just as oblivious to everything as he was before and he had no idea that they had been broken up earlier. I giggled, Charlie was just too hilarious. It's hard to not laugh whenever he's around. I actually DO have feelings for him. I just took Scott back after he cheated on me because he looked so pathetic. I couldn't hurt him. But the truth was, I didn't love Scott anymore, not after the way he had treated me. I actually liked Charlie. Maybe I should just break up with Scott. No point living in a lie right? I made up my mind. I'll do it. Just not now.
Scott's POV:
Why does Mo keep looking at Charlie? I always see fondness in her eyes when she's with him. They were just friends right? I trust Mo. She wouldn't cheat on me. I know I made that mistake before. But… She wouldn't. Would she? Nah, she was always the good girl. I look over at Ray and the guys. I wish Mo would let me hang out with them more. It's hard when your girlfriend and your best friend hate each other. The whole band hates him. Unless… I always knew Ray had feelings for Stella. It was just in his eyes. Being his best friend, I knew that he never worked so hard just to make one girl miserable. Not until Stella came. I could still tell although Ray kept his little secret carefully hidden. Hey, I'm his best friend, it's in my job description. I wonder if Stella felt the same way…
Ray's POV:
I look over at the Lemonade Mouth table. They always sat there. I look at Stella. Although I had liked her since she came to Mesa High, my feelings for her hasn't faded one bit. In fact, it only grew stronger every time I saw her. But I would never admit my feelings to her. To anyone. Anyway, I'm with Patty. I didn't like her though. She didn't like me either. The only reason she was with me was because of my popularity. It never mattered to me though, until Stella showed up. Then I realized that being with someone means to love the person, not just for popularity. That was when I started getting discontented. Any other person would think: Why are you discontented? You're the soccer team captain, the most popular kid at school, a Honours student and the lead singer of an awesome band. Why aren't you happy with that? Well, maybe it's just me, but I'm used to getting what I want. I never expected that it would take so much work to get what I wanted. But for Stella, it's worth it. I sneak another glance, only to be caught in the act. "Why do you keep looking at Yamada?" Patty shrieked in that annoying high-pitched voice of hers. "Why do you even care?" I mutter under my breath. "Uh, hello? You're my boyfriend!" she screamed, voice rising in anger. I knew her too well. This will end in a screaming match and detention, which will only give her more time to yell at me. Great. "Maybe, I don't like you! Maybe, I like Stella!" As soon as the words left my mouth, I realized that I had just revealed my most carefully kept secret to everyone within a five-feet radius. I look over at the Lemonade Mouth table. Scott was smiling at me knowingly. The rest were staring at me, mouths wide open. But the only one I cared about was Stella. She glared at me then leaves in a huff. I've never seen her so mad. "I..I…" I stammered, trying to explain to the bewildered (some amused) faces around me. I had two choices right now, to pretend nothing happened and continue arguing with Patty or go after Stella. I made a decision. "Stella!" I yelled as I ran out of the cafeteria, leaving a whole room of people confused and amused.
Stella's POV:
I ran out of the cafeteria, slamming the door shut behind me. Tears were streaming down my cheeks. I ran blindly. I didn't know where I was going. I didn't care. I just wanted to get away. When I finally calmed down enough to stop, I realized that I had somehow ended up in the detention room. This room held so many memories. Memories I cherished, like meeting my best friends for the first time, countless band practices and memories I hated, like meeting Ray. Ray. I heard heavy footsteps outside the door. I sat silently in a nearby chair, hoping that he wouldn't find me. He embarrassed me enough. I bet it was just a way to make fun of me. And I didn't help that in between our pointless arguments and making fun of each other, I had fallen for the jock. "Stella?" the door opened. There stood the person I dreaded to see the most at the moment. Ray. "Stella, I'm so sorry. I just wanted to let you know that whatever I said in ther-" I cut him off. "Was a lie?" I asked coldly. Just because I liked him doesn't mean that he can push me around and get away with it. "No." he said quietly, staring down at his feet. Woah. Was this real? Was the big bad Ray actually shy?
"I…You…I thought you hated me."
"Haven't you ever wondered how you are the only girl I bother to fight with?"
I shook my head, confused.
"I want to spend time with you. I just don't know how to ask."
I looked at him in surprise. I had to admit, I was touched. Hey, even a wildcat needs some love right? "I…I think I love you too."
