Hey fellow readers! This is chapter 9 and as I promised, it's a Wen and Olivia. It doesn't start out that way, but it will happen later. I've also been updating a bit more, because of all the great ideas and the spare time I have lately. Anyways, this is when Mo sees the band for the first time after her injury, and she's not so thrilled. And then Olivia has her driving test today. I'd also like to give a shout-out to SilverMoon276 for giving me the idea of having a guy hit on Olivia and he won't stop bugging her, so Wen pretends to be her boyfriend to give him the hint. Love your stories by the way SilverMoon276! Ok, enjoy!
Mo stepped through the first set of doors to the Music Hall. She walked down the long hallway with her bag and bass. She decided to go the longer way and enter the stage from the back doors for band practice today, because of what happened at Em's. Luke had driven her to the hospital and she had to get an x-ray. She wasn't too excited for that, but it had to done. Mo mentally kicked herself for showing off so much yesterday. If it wasn't for Ray, she'd be fine with going to practice today and facing her friends. She also remembered how her mother replied to the accident. And to Luke driving her home. Mo was thanking the heavens her father wasn't there to see either of them. Her mother was worried about her like any other would be, but they had spent the night talking and laughing on how it happened. Mo's face even turned a light shade of pink when her mom asked who Luke was. She explained and they both continued laughing the night away. That was when Mo wasn't self-conscious about her injury. But today was a new day.
Mo was wearing a short vintage dress. It had two small ruffles at the top and more at the bottom. It fell just above her knees. It had floral designs of pink roses and the green vines. The back-round was a light cream color. Mo also had white opened-toed flats on. She had a white hoodie over it and dark sunglasses. Mo clutched the hood harder and hid her face best she could. She then entered through the doors and onto the stage. She walked quickly and put her things down. Still not turned around, Mo was trying to avoid her friends' view of her face.
"There she is!" Wen cheered.
"We were starting to think you really hurt yourself." Charlie laughed. Mo pulled her bass out of the carry-case and put the strap around her. She started tuning the strings.
"Why were you guys waiting? You could've started without me." She told them.
"True, but we wanted to make sure you were ok after what happened." Wen answered.
"I'm fine. Let's just start practice already and get it over with." Mo stated quickly. Stella's eye brows furrowed.
"Now wait a minute, why are you so jumpy today?" She asked. Mo shrugged.
"I'm not jumpy, I'm just not feeling very well." Mo responded.
"Look, if this is about Ray, he's just a jerk." Luke stated.
"Yeah, he's not someone to get upset over." Stella agreed. Mo then un-zipped her jacket, spun around on her heels, threw off her glasses, and ripped the hood off her head. Revealing a long white strip across her nose.
"Still think I shouldn't be upset?"She snapped. Everyone's eyes went wide and they hopped out of their seats, running up to her.
"Whoa! What is that thing?" Charlie wondered, reaching to poke it.
Mo quickly slapped his hand out of her face. "Stop touching it!" She cried.
"And Ray did this?" Olivia inquired. Mo nodded.
"But it's only a little bruised. I only have to wear the tape for a few days." She said. The band sighed.
"I can't believe Ray would go this low." Wen stated.
Stella snorted. "I can. It seems just like the 'Ray' thing to do." She answered.
"But hurting Mo like he did? That's not acceptable." Charlie replied.
"Charlie's right, we should get back at him." Luke added.
Mo sighed. "Guys no, we can't just 'get back at' everyone who's not our friend."
"But Mo, this is Ray. He got us banned from Dante's, he tried to sabotage us at the Halloween Bash, and I bet he set Scott back up with Jewels..." Stella went on.
"Stella!" Olivia whispered, nudging her in the arm. "Just leave Scott out of this." Stella shrugged and looked back at Mo, who was shifting uncomfortably from one foot to the other.
"But all of that worked out ok Stella." She said quietly. "After Dante's we got to work with Emma, and she really cares for us. We survived the Bash, and we already got revenge on Scott. It'll be ok."
Stella sighed. "Fine. If you want to do nothing and just let it go, we won't pull anything." She said putting her guitar strap over her shoulder.
"Thank you." Mo nodded her head. Everyone head over to their instruments and got settled.
"Alright, so what should we practice?" Luke asked. They all looked at Olivia.
"Well, while Mo and I were in History Class together, we wrote a new song." She responded.
"Oh, so little Olivia wasn't paying attention in class huh?" Charlie teases. Olivia smiled.
"Hey, it was silent reading. We were both bored." She joked. Everyone laughed.
"Ok, so this one's pretty easy." Mo stated handing Stella and Luke the guitar chords and along with Wen. "And Charlie, you can just kind of make up your own beat." Charlie nodded and began to follow along to Stella's slow guitar notes.
There's a street, there's my right, my left feet, Oooh! Lemonade, summer games we remember, This is my paradise, Breaking the waves out on the sand Oooh!
There's a road of nowhere that ends meet.
I've got the sun, I've got the sand,
I've got that rock 'n' roll band,
Here I stand!
I've told you that when the morning comes,
I'll be there my left hand in your right one.
This is my this is my paradise,
I'm at home above all I got it by
Let the sun on my shoulder shine!
We can run beneath this clear piece of sky,
This is my paradise!
Colder days with a haze in December
Let's get some groove
Going through with being too cold to move,
Sunshine is overdue.
I'm breaking out in my summer dress, yea!
I'm singing, I'm dancing, I'm obsessed, yea!
I'm at home above all I got it by
Let the sun on my shoulder shine!
We can run beneath this clear piece of sky,
This is my paradise!
And I still hear that band,
Knowing tomorrow comes I'm not scared,
Cause I know sunshine's gonna be there.
This is my, this is my paradise!
This is my, this is my paradise!
Oooh!
This is my, this is my paradise!
I'm at home above all I got it by,
Let the sun on my shoulder shine,
We can run beneath this clear piece of sky.
This is my Paradise!
"You guys really wrote that?" Wen asked. Mo nodded.
"It was really fun writing it together." Olivia stated hugging Mo.
Stella chuckled. "So what should we play now?" She asked.
"Oh I'm so sorry, I can't. I have to go." Olivia answered gathering her things. Everyone looked at her puzzled.
"Why?"
"Driver's Test today." Mo stated before Olivia could speak. The band nodded in agreement.
"Really?" Charlie asked.
"Yeah, and I need to get an 80 on the test or else it's not even considered passing to me." Olivia explained.
"Oh, stop being so dramatic, you know you're gonna ace it." Luke told her. Olivia laughed.
"We'll see about that." She said.
"Well how long are you gonna be taking the test?" Wen wondered. Olivia thought for a minute.
"Maybe a few hours."
"How about I go with you?" Wen asked.
"A- are you sure? It might be awhile Wen." Olivia replied.
Wen smiled. "It'll be worth the wait to see you come out with a huge grin on your face and your license." Olivia giggled. "Plus I need a ride home." Wen joked. Olivia slapped his arm gently.
"Then we better get going. My test is in 45 minutes!" She cried running out of the room.
"Ok, meet us at Em's when it's over!" Mo called after her. She could hear a faint 'Bye!' just as the doors slammed.
Later that Day:
Olivia and Wen were out of breath when they burst through the doors of the testing building. Since both of them couldn't drive, and Luke couldn't take them because of band practice, they had to run 5 blocks to get there on time. But it was worth it. It turned out; Olivia was next to being called just as they run in.
"Olivia White please?" A tall woman with long brown hair called. As she looked around the room, her long pony-tail swung from side to side. Olivia quickly stood up and started walking over to her. But Wen pulled her by the arm.
"Go get 'em tiger." He whispered in her ear. Olivia smiled and nodded, walking off to take her test.
Olivia had taken her written test already and it's only been about an hour. Way shorter than she expected. She hopped into the car gently and put her seat belt on. Olivia adjusted her mirror and shifted uncomfortably. She finally picked the right way to sit, grabbed the steering wheel, and sighed.
"Are you alright sweetheart?" Liz Montez, her driving instructor who is really sweet, asked. Olivia immediately straitened up.
"Oh, um it's nothing. I'm just really nervous." She answered. Liz smiled.
"Oh honey, you'll be fine. But for our little secret, you passed your written test." She stated. Olivia's head shot up.
"I did? How?" She inquired.
"Are you kidding? You got almost a perfect score!" Liz responded. Olivia smiled.
"Let's finish this thing!" She said sitting up straight.
"Yeah! That's my girl!" Liz cheered. Olivia sighed and began her Driving Test slowly, but surely.
One Hour Later:
Wen had been waiting on a bench outside for almost two hours. He'd been texting the rest of the band about what was going on. Often, Stella or Luke would text;
Did she pass yet!
Which kind of annoyed Wen. He looked up and suddenly saw Olivia come out of the testing building with a frown on her face. Wen quickly hopped out of his seat and run over to her.
"Hey, how'd it go? Did you knock 'em dead with your mad skills?" He asked laughing a bit. Olivia's frown didn't fade. But soon, Wen's smile did. "What happened Liv?"
Olivia sighed. "I didn't get an 80 on the test." She admitted. Wen's mouth dropped.
"No way! I'm so sorry Olivia. Those guys are crazy not giving you a 100 on the test!" He stated. Olivia tried to hide a smile, but she couldn't handle not letting it show. Wen looked at her confused. "Why are you smiling?" He asked.
Olivia laughed. "I got a 95 Wen! I totally passed!" She cheered.
"What? Wait, how did you find out so quickly?" Wen asked puzzled.
"Liz is like the best driving instructor ever! She let me know what I got as soon as I stepped off the brake!" Olivia replied. "I got a 95! I can't believe it!" She screamed. Wen laughed and picked her up. He spun her around a few times.
"That's great! I knew you could do it Liv!" He shouted back. Olivia and Wen continued laughing and talking until they let go of each-other. But Olivia didn't unhook her arms from around Wen's neck. They stared into each-other's eyes for a few minutes and then Wen began to lean in. They both kept leaning in until there wasn't a space between them anymore. They stood there for awhile until both of them broke apart, pressing their foreheads together.
"So um, about Prom…." Wen started.
"I'd love to." Olivia answered before he could finish. Wen smiled and they started walking toward Em's.
At Em's:
The rest of Lemonade Mouth was at Em's just hanging out. All together, they'd ordered 23 smoothies in just two hours. Mo and Charlie had a contest of who could drink their juice the fastest, but they instantly became bored after. Mo groaned.
"Where are Olivia and Wen? They said they were on their way." She stated.
"It takes time to walk all the way to here from the Driver's Testing Buildings. They'll be here soon." Charlie answered. All the sudden, Wen and Olivia burst through the doors.
"I can't believe out of all things you could've done to me, you just had to make me fail my driver's test!" Olivia yelled at him.
"I said it was an accident ok! It's not like I meant to hit your instructor with a car!" Wen shouted back.
"What were you even doing driving a car at my driving test anyway?" Olivia asked.
"I was bored! You were in there for like, three hours!" Wen screamed.
"Stop exaggerating! It was two hours genius!" Olivia replied stomping off.
Before Wen could respond, the others ran over to them. "Hey, what's going on here?" Charlie asked.
"He ran over my driving instructor and made me fail my driving test!" Olivia replied. Mo gasped.
"That's terrible! Are you able to take it again?" She wondered.
"Not for six months! That's when Liz gets out of the hospital." Olivia told her. And then the two started yelling and screaming again.
"Guys stop it! You both just need to get away from each-other for a little bit." Stella stated.
"Well that won't be a problem, because I never want to see you again!" Olivia screeched.
"Fine by me!" Wen answered. They turned their backs on each-other. For a split second, Lemonade Mouth broke out in a full-on panic mode. Until Wen and Olivia started laughing that is.
"Why are you guys laughing? You just gave me a heart attack!" Mo said trying to catch her breath.
"We were just messing with you guys. I would never run Olivia's mentor over with a car." Wen responded.
"Yeah, and I would never say I don't want to see you again." Olivia added still laughing. After awhile, everyone began to understand it was just a joke to scare them.
"Ok, we're going to talk about this right now!" Mo stated taking Olivia and Stella by the arms. After they left, the guys burst out laughing.
"You know you're gonna have to explain this to us right?" Luke reminded. Wen nodded.
Suddenly, Charlie snapped his fingers. "I totally forgot! The girls are having a sleepover tonight!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah, and?" Luke asked.
"And, you guys should spend the night at my house and we could all hang out. Stella's house is actually really close to mine, so we could just head over there when we're bored." Charlie explained. Luke and Wen looked at each-other and shrugged.
"What do we got to lose?"
Yeah, that was my first Wen and Olivia attempt, but to be honest, I didn't think I did that well on it. I loved writing it, but I hope you guys liked it. Tell me what you think please! The next chapter is about the guys and girls' sleepovers and how the guys go over to Stella for awhile. And Luke and Stella's plan takes off too. I also want to apologize for any false information about the driving test stuff. I haven't taken mine yet, so I don't know if there's really a written part. Well, love you guys and see you later.
