Chapter 10

Stella POV

I opened my eyes to see Ray really close to my face. As I wake up Mo gives me a cup of water that I drain down. I see the class in their seats looking concerned, when I tried to get up I almost fall down so Ray helps me up. I look at him and remember what happened and started to blush. I could see Olivia and Mo glaring at him but I needed support so I didn't really care at the moment. Once up I started to walk with Ray's help then told him, "I'm fine, don't worry, let's just sit down."

I pulled myself away from Ray and started to walk by myself. I sat beside Charlie who was looked at me and asked if I was okay, I responded with a nod. Since the class is still starring at me I decided to yell, "Alright Ms. Reznik take it away" She got up and went up to the stage while everyone else got off. Now everyone was paying attention to her, "Alright now that Stella is awake I'm going to start giving my comments about your performances."

She had a clipboard in hand and started with Mo's group, "I loved your variety of instruments Mo, you used the violin which you have been learning for awhile and your new group mates had learned quite quickly. Your stage performance was entertaining as it kept all of us paying attention. I also loved the meaning of the song and the wonderful melody."

She flipped the page and then looked at Wen, "Wonderful melody and wonderful stage presence, you decided to stay with a homey feeling and let your other group mates sing parts which was a wondeful idea! I loved it. It was a wonderful love song that all of you devoted to a special someone and your instruments well of course chosen correctly."

She then walked to look at Olivia and her group, she grinned and started to talk, we all practically knew that Olivia was probably her favorite out all of us in the band. "Olivia I just loved your song, your stage performance was cute, your group was amazing and of course wonderful use of instruments."

Then she looked at me, she looked a little worried which made me a little nervous but then she started to smile, "Stella you wrote an amazing song! It had a wonderful meaning and it taught some people that meaningful songs don't have be all slow and depressing. Of course wonderful dancing around the stage and your band definitely kept us entertained. Great job all of you guys you should be proud! I will be sending your marks by email individually. Class dismissed!"

Everyone started to file out slowly chattering to each other while me and the band stayed. Ray called over Shania and Oliver while some other dudes I think the other members of mudslide crush came in, he said something about a meeting with them. As the memory flashed in my memory again I thought about how surprised I was. I only remember him kissing me and the breath being knocked out of me, my eyes were wide open from the shock. I didn't kiss him back because of all the thoughts going on in my mind not that it wasn't enjoyable I just couldn't enjoy it because as far as everyone knows I HATE RAY BEECH. If I had a chance to tell the lemon heads that we were friends or maybe that I don't hate him so much...

Olivia POV

As we were cleaning up I just couldn't help smiling, Wen and I basically wrote songs for each other. We also just basically serenaded each other today and it just felt so great that he felt what I did. As I was packing away one of the guitars he came behind me and gave me a hug swinging me around. I squealed and turned around to face him, once he put me down I smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I could hear Mo and Stella awwing in the background and when we pulled apart Stella was looking at Ray while he was talking to his band with Oliver and Shania. I'll need to talk to her later.

Ms. Reznik called us over, "Olivia, Wen, Mo, Scott, Charlie, Stella come over here." We all walked to her while Ray and the others just continued talking and cleaning. "So tomorrow, you guys remember that I will be picking you guys up from your houses and will be going to different schools. I'll bring your um disguises and tell you which kid you will get to know etc. Lastly you will be riding in the school bus with your school and then when you get here come back stage cause you'll need to get ready for whatever you call it teaching them about bullying. Any questions?"

Charlie raised his hand she said, "Yes Charlie?" He scratched his hair which was gross, "Um, I don't have a question I just wanted to say my family and I are having my brothers funeral this Thursday. It would be nice if you all came." Mo gave him a hug and said, "Sure Charlie, we'll all come. " We all nodded and then I gave Charlie a hug before I got my stuff and left.

While we were talking Ray and the others seemed to finish cleaning up so Wen took my hand and told me he was walking me home no buts. I smiled waved bye to Mo who was walking home as well after us and Scott said his dad was picking him up. Stella told us she had her mom's car so we walked out.

Ray POV

As soon as Mo and Scott left I went straight business talking to Oliver and Shania about joining Mudslide Crush. I mean Oliver would be a great guitarist or drummer since Scott left and Shania would be great for our keyboard/ songwriter, especially since Scott and I used to write our songs together. Also our drummer had moved to New York shortly after the Rising Star competition. They are also new to school so they don't know how mean I used to be. I'm still mean but they don't know that so it's easier to get them to join if they aren't scared of me.

I walked up to them and started to do my stuff, "hey guys, how are you?" They just shrugged and continued cleaning, "Okay so I was wondering since you know I'm missing two members in my band you guys could join? How does that sound?" Seth and Jian my bass guitarist and lead guitarist came up to back me up, "it would be awesome and you guys were great today, Ray told us." Shania thanked us but told me she wouldn't be any help she couldn't do anything. I raised my eyebrows at her, "you just played the keyboard today and I'm certain that's a useful tool for writing songs." She laughed, "I used to play piano and I suck at writing songs, sorry I gotta go my parents will be worried." Oh I'm so gonna bother her at dance class tomorrow, she has to join.

I looked Oliver, "C'mone, you're great at the drums and you could play another instrument if you'd like." He looked at me weird but he was like 6 feet while I was only 5 foot 7 so he was towering over me, "I'll think about it, I do play guitar but I'm better at drums. I also take basketball training after school so I'm pretty busy." He shrugged and got his stuff exiting, I sighed so hard to get people to join these days Seth and Jian put their hands on my shoulders, "No worries dude we can convince him, anyways he said he'll think about it, so not no." I nodded and told them I'll give them a ride home, we said goodbye to Ms. Reznik and left her to lock the auditorium.

Next Day

Wen POV

As Ms. Reznik pulled up to my driveway I got into the van and waved good morning to the band. Since I lived the farthest from everyone I was the last to be picked up, I sat beside Scott in the mid section of the van. Olivia, Mo and Stella were in the back and Charlie was sitting in the front with Ms. Reznik silently. The girls were chatting excitedly and rapidly so I didn't want to interrupt them so instead I decided to talk to Scott.

"Hey what's up?" He looked at the girls and back at me, "Just trying to block out how excited the girls are." We chuckled, "Ya I know right what are they even talking about" he sighed, "I don't know probably about clothes, or the dance or shopping." We both shuddered, "Ya you're probably right." Stella came in between us and said, "you know we can hear you right now." So we just stopped talking until Ms. Reznik parked at this gigantic trailer and told to go in for our "disguises"

When we got in there were 6 chairs with our names on them and a stylist beside them I think what's there called. I sat down in my seats and they started doing there stuff I felt some gooey stuff on my hair and makeup being put on my face but I wanted to remember what we all looked like before so I took a picture with my phone. A couple hours later and we were all done may I just admit we looked absolutely NERDY.

I had big brown glasses my hair was gelled up I was wearing brown overalls and a plaid shirt with these very classy shoes, they are so comfortable though. Scott had black pants, black shirt and leather jacket on with his hair spiked up to a tiny Mohawk, he tried to tell the stylists to not the touch hair but they didn't care. Charlie had his hair tied up which was washed now thankfully he had black glasses a dress shirt and some dress pants with a bow tie at his neck. I must say we looked pretty horrible.

The girls came out and I couldn't really recognize them Mo was wearing a pink tutu and a blue shirt with puffy sleeves with some really ugly brown shoes as she said and her hair was tied in a ponytail. Olivia had a bun, glasses, a really long old fashioned grandma dress and white nurse shoes. She said she didn't mind it the dress was kinda roomy but Mo told her she looked like Olivia's grandma. Stella came out in a very pink frilly shirt and jeans with some cowboy shoes and her hair was put into two pink tails which she wanted to rip out.

I thought we were all dressed for Halloween but before we got to say that we were being ushered towards the van which Ms. Reznik drove as quickly as possible to each school. Scott was dropped off first at Cathay public school where he went to first class, apparently he was supposed to be friends with John a goth kid that is usually found in the back of the school. Olivia got off next to Jordan public school where she was supposed to make friends with Lindsey a quite shy bookworm who never spoke out. Charlie got sent out to Pine green public school to be friends with a hippy named Jolie who mostly stays outside of the school.

We were almost done there was only Mo, Stella and I left so Mo got dropped off first she went into Jackson A Y and her person was a shy fashion girl named Arwen but she prefers to be called Angelina. Ms. Reznik told me that I was getting out first going to Richmond Green public school and will be talking to Justin who loves astronomy. I got in to my class which I found quite easily and was introduced by our teacher who I forgot the name then was assigned to be seated beside Justin wow that was easy.

She told us to start studying the constellations and the legends behind them Justin had it down to an art he told me what was what the story behind it until we were interrupted by a jock who started throwing paper balls at him. He tried to ignore him but eventually other people started to shoot spitballs and so he got up excused himself to the bathroom and ran out of there. I sighed I might have not been bullied like him and even though we were supposed to get to know them better I wanted to be nice to him out of sympathy. So I asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom and she told me yes.

I went into the bathroom to find him sobbing in one of them stalls and knocked on the door, "Hey Justin, it's me Wen can you open up?" He kept on sobbing and spoke, "No, you don't want to be nice to me I'm just a useless boy. Go away." I sighed, "Look, I don't know what you're going through but I want to help will you let me do that?" He finally opened the door and kept sobbing when he finally spoke he started to tell me how it all started while I just listened intently.

Stella POV

Ms. Reznik dropped me off at Mesa high which I was confused by because I'm quite certain there aren't any more bullies. She told me to go in to the computer lab look up Shania Chan on Facebook then I will understand. I got out went to the computer lab looked her up and saw many rude comments calling her a whore, a bitch etc. I got it she was being cyberbullied so I got up and went to find her, it was lunch and I saw her sitting alone barely touching her food with her phone going every minute.

I'm pretty sure no one noticed me so I sat beside her she didn't notice me until I'm pretty sure Carlo, Sean, Kyle and Oliver came over, "Hey who's this girl? You're new girlfriend? Since you can't get anymore boys into your bed? Huh?" I scoffed, "I'm a new student Selena." In a really high pitched voice they are all in my biology class. "I would like you to go away please and stop bothering her." Kyle chuckled, " that's rude Selena we were just saying hi to you guys." I rolled my eyes and Sean said, "Yeah how would you like it if we did that?" Carlo continued, "anyways you could be the new lesbian couple yup put that on their Facebook wall." Oliver started typing it up and I ignored them. An announcement from Mr. Brennigan came up, "Everyone please orderly enter the gym we have an assembly about bullying and many other schools will be joining, in an ordered fashion by grade." Everyone started to go into the gym and slowly I slipped away to go backstage, I was the first one there so I waited for the other lemon heads to come.

Ms. Reznik came up to me and said, "quite sad isn't it? Her story and I'm sure the others will tell you when they come in. First of all let's get you changed cause man you look ugly in that outfit." I groaned and went to change with designers seeing if I would look good in this or that. By the time I was done I came out feeling disgusted I had a blue sequined top on and sneaker wedges which I admit look rockin. I got to put in my famous peacock earring though so I was satisfied. Mo came bursting through the curtains with the rest of the band and were ushered so quickly to wardrobe and makeup that I didn't even get talk to them.

I sat down and sighed deciding to look outside at the crowd all the schools were here and were talking very loud to each other. I closed the curtain and decided to feel my guitar this one was definitely one of my favorites I called it black beauty. Half a hour later Mo, Olivia, Charlie, Scott were out of there "nerd" outfits and into our stage outfits. I hope Wen took a picture because I almost died laughing at how they looked.

Half a hour later they were changed and ready to go, since we were late we strapped our instruments on and for Olivia she started doing vocal exercises. Ms. Reznik went through the curtains and on stage to introduce us, "hello everyone, today you will be learning about bullying, now I know that this is boring and you don't care but this is problem. Bullying is not a laughing joke so to teach you people what's wrong with bullying we are gonna use a different teaching strategy. Instead of me boring you of a lecture we have a different teaching strategy, now please watch this video and keep quite."

She came through the curtain while the video of us performing Here We Go at the Halloween bash played. I could hear my speech between our rapping and singing, I felt proud of what I did. Ms. Reznik gave me the mike and once the video was done I spoke, "Hey everyone, today we are talking to you about bullying." I passed the mike to Mo, "bullying isn't a laughing matter, it isn't fun and it isn't right." She passed it to Olivia, "today we have numerous songs to teach you this lesson." She gave it to Charlie who spoke, "we used to be voiceless like you guys, just a shadow to others." Girls were screaming we love you Charlie as Scott took it from him, "although I was never bullied like many of you guys today we all learned an important lesson." Wen finished it off, "if you would help us we'd like to stop the bullying."

The curtains were supposed to open but they started to crazy like up, side to side, up and down eventually Ms. Reznik went to the back where the control dude was freaking out and unplugged it to stop the curtains. Olivia sighed and took the mike again, "We are experiencing technical difficulties at the moment." Shania walked up to us and said, "sorry guys I can't seem to figure out how to fix this since Stephen over here spilled his pop over the controls is there anything I can do to help?"

I grinned, "Yes there is, how about you sing a song for us to stall while Ms. Reznik calls for help." The rest of the band caught on and nodded as she looked surprised, "but I need someone to play with me and I need a song. I'm not saying that I do have a song but still I need some other people." Ray came behind her and said, "Mudslide crush could help, just tell us what you need to do and we're here." She smiled, "alright Ray on lead guitar, Seth you too, Jian on bass and oh I need someone on drums." Oliver walked in at that moment and Ray pulled him over, "he'll do drums." Shania looked at him and crossed her arms while he just shrugged, "sure, why not."

She sighed gave them her song and while they studied the song Wen went outside and started to crack some jokes. By the time Wen was booed off the stage which I found quite funny Shania and the guys were ready. Olivia glared at me for laughing at Wen though, hey a girl can't help herself sometimes. Anyways Shania got on stage went up to the keyboard with Oliver going to the drums, Ray, Seth and Jian brought their guitars up with them.

Ray POV

Okay Oliver started to play the drums while Shania started her keyboard part up, but before she started to sing I could see how nervous she felt and the she sung into the mike. Her voice is actually quite nice and clear I admit.

You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug

You can be the outcast

Or the backlash of somebody's lack of love

Or you can start speaking up

Nothing's gonna hurt you the ways that words do

When they settle 'neath your skin

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you

she jumped away from the keyboard and started to dance around while singing

say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

she pointed to herself and then to the crowd walking across the stage

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

She started to try to hide herself and then bowed down. She waved her finger and then pointed to her tongue. She put her arms in front and stepped forward then looked up to the lights which were now working and then flexed her arms.

Everybody's been there,

Everybody's been stared down by the enemy

Fallen for the fear

And done some disappearing,

Bow down to the mighty

Don't run, stop holding your tongue

Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live

Maybe one of these days you can let the light in

Show me how big your brave is

she jumped and then started to make a dance which we sort of followed as well as we could with guitars

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

she walked towards the crowd and smiled at them

And since your history of silence

Won't do you any good

Did you think it would

Let your words be anything be anything but empty

Why don't you tell them truth

she was now banging her foot on the ground and then started again with her dance

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

See you be brave

yaaaa

then we continued singing that part two more times and we were done. The crowd went absolutely ballistic immediately she waved goodbye and the rest of us got off. As soon as we got off we gave each other high fives and started to celebrate, before Stella went on she told me, "good job" even Olivia, Mo and Charlie said so. As they started to talk to the crowd about bullying I asked Shania and Oliver one last question, "now will you join our band?" They shrugged and said, "We'll think about it." Then we all laughed and watched as Lemonade Mouth did their thing.

Okay so today there are lots of disclaimers! I do not own any of those school names, I seriously made them up, those names of the nerds I really just picked those quickly and I'm sorry if I offended you if I used your name as a mean character or nice character it was random.

Disclaimer: I don't own Lemonade Mouth Characters or Brave by Sara bareilles but it's a great song!
