Chapter 11

Stella's P.O.V-

I was in my room getting ready to meet the band at Dante's today. I know what you're thinking 'Wow they go to Dante's too many times!' well what can I say Dante's is like our hang out spot now. Whenever we have to discuss something or just hang out we go over there.

I was praying that Olivia would say 'Yes' today. You see after the Halloween bash thing happen Brenigan sent us all to his office the next morning.

He was angry about what we did and he said that Lemonade Mouth was over. We couldn't perform at any school related activities. We couldn't even practice in the music room let alone use any of the instruments.

I told him that we were just speaking our minds but he wouldn't hear any of it. After that I didn't know what to do. It felt like there was nothing we could do. Lemonade Mouth was over. That is before just about everyone in school started treating us like we were all suddenly famous.

People asking for our autographs, asking if we would listen to there demos and people screaming 'I love you!' But the best thing for me was the posters. There were a bunch of posters everywhere reading 'Be heard, be strong, be proud!' and 'Don't stop the revolution!' and there was this girl on a wheel chair and on the back of it was a piece of yellow paper that said 'Lemonade Mouth!'

It was awesome!

Another thing was all the girls fawning over Charlie like he was the hottest thing or just plain famous! I then knew that I had to do something. If people wanted Lemonade Mouth they were gonna get it.

So that day after school Wen and I gave Dante a C.D of the band and he loved it! He said we could play on Friday night. And if we did really well this could become like a regular gig.

I thanked the guy like twenty time before making my way home. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and contacted the band. The only person that I couldn't contact was Charlie. I tried calling him twice and both times he didn't answer. So I called Wen and told him to go over to his house and find out if he's home since Wen just lived a block away from Charlie.

The whole day at school it felt like Charlie was trying to avoid me. Not like he avoided me five years ago, but this time he tried to make sure that it didn't seem so obvious but being me his best friend I could read Charlie like a book.

He would try to ignore or avoid me like whenever I would look at him he would immediately pretend to be studying a book or just look at something else. Or when I would ask him a question he would only reply with a one word answers and immediately try to avoid my gaze.

And when he and I were alone for whatever reasons he would say or stutter out 'I gotta go.' And quickly rush out. To tell you the truth I was pretty hurt and I still am but I am Stella Yamada and she does not get hurt easily!

Another weird thing with Charlie today was when all those girls were fawning all over him he didn't even take notice and it was pretty obvious they were practically all over him. So it of course surprised me a lot, I mean doesn't a guy always get all cocky and flirty when girls are all over them?

But I guess not with Charlie. But usually the only time a guy won't take notice to things like that is either when they are with somebody already or they have their mind on someone they really like.

But I can't think of anyone Charlie would have a crush on that big. Well besides Mo but he already said he was over her so I believe him.

Could that have been what he wanted to talk to me about? Could he like me in the way I like him? I shake my head. No he doesn't feel that way about me. Especially when he has girls falling all over him, he can have almost any girl in school right now.

But then again it's not impossible that he might actually like- but before I could think about it more my phone starts vibrating signaling that I received a text.

To: Stella

From: Wen

Hey where are you? We're at Dante's waiting.

My eyes widen. Aw crap I almost forgot about that! I guess I was too lost in thought.

To: Wen

From: Stella

Hey sorry to keep ya waiting. I had something to take care of. On my way!

I replied. So I told a little white lie no biggy. I picked up my leather jacket from my bed and ran out the door.

I finally make it to Dante's seeing my four amigos seating at a booth waiting for me. I smile and walk up to them.

"Hey guys! Sorry I'm late." I said plopping down on a seat next to Wen.

"It's cool. We were just joking around." Wen replied. "Not about me I hope." I smirk.

"No not about you Stells." Wen says smiling at me. I smile back and turn to look at the band.

"So anyways, what would you say," I started; I put my arm on Wen's shoulder. He looks at me then at the others "If um we told you we could play again." he finishes off taking a sip of his lemonade and turned to look straight at Olivia.

"I'd say your nuts! Brenigan is never gonna let us play." Mo said.

"We're not talking about at school." I said. Everyone stares at me with a weird look even Charlie. Well that was a surprise!

"I'm talking about here." I finished with a smirk.

"Here?" asked Charlie. Wow now he's talking to me. What a miracle! "Mhm." I nodded.

"I gave Dante our C.D and he loved it." Wen said. Gasps were heard and Olivia starts to smile. "And he told us we could start playing here."

"Principal Brenigan can tell us that we can't play in school but he can't tell us not to play here." he said biting his straw.

"And it can become a regular gig." I said looking at them hopefully.

"Wait, wait, wait a regular gig?" Olivia asked shaking her head slightly. "I barely made it through the first one."

"Guys my parents already think I have soccer practice every afternoon." Charlie said looking at me straight in the eyes. I almost squirmed but kept my cool. There was something in his eyes that were different when he looked at me now.

"There's no way we can pull this off." He said breaking eye contact.

I raised my eyebrow and looked at Mo. "Me either, Scott eats here. And I'm planning on not seeing him for the rest of my life." Mo says. I see Charlie mouth 'Wow' at the last part.

"Guys." I tried again. "We mean something to people! Lemonade Mouth is their voice." I said gesturing to us with my hands. I see Mo roll her eyes and say "Guys, good luck with your movement. But I've got homework to do." She picks up her backpack and walks away.

We stare at each other for a moment before Olivia calls out "No, Mo!" we all stand up and follow her outside.

Once we make it out I see Mo looking at the building behind us with wide eyes. "Mo are you okay?" I asked reaching up to her. Her mouth is wide open as she points up at the building.

We all turn around to see what she is looking at and our mouths drop open. Whoa! Up there was a huge poster board. On it was us rockin' out on stage at the Halloween Bash it also read 'Don't stop the revolution' at the bottom. I couldn't believe it. It was so amazingly incredible!

"No way." Wen says in disbelief chuckling slightly.

"Oh it's beautiful!" Olivia says grinning while standing next to Wen.

"Look at us up there." Charlie says pointing at the picture in amazement.

"Maybe we do matter." Mo says thoughtfully.

Still looking at the board I say "Of course we do!" I look at Mo and hold my hand out, she grabs it and smiles. Everyone starts to grab one another's hands as we say together "Let's do this!"

We were ready for Rising Star. We were ready to be heard!

Charlie's P.O.V-

To: Olivia

From: Charlie

Hey Liv. I need your help. Can you meet me at the park in ten minutes?

I texted to Olivia. I waited less then five minutes before she replied with

To: Charlie

From: Olivia

Um sure, y not? Meet you there :)

I smiled as I read the text. I put on my shoes and grabbed my black jacket and walk downstairs. "Hey mom? I'll be back in a bit. Kay?" I said walking into the kitchen where my mom was cooking dinner.

"Where are you going?" she asked looking straight at me in the eyes. "Um to the park to meet up with one of my friends." "Who Stella?" I look down for a moment before looking back up and say "No someone else."

"O okay honey. You got an hour because that's when dinner should be ready and you still have to study more!" she says poking me in the chest.

I give her a fake smile "Alright mom. See you then." I head out the door. I love my mom really I do but she just doesn't understand me.

At the park-

I walk towards were the benches were to wait for Olivia when I suddenly hear a familiar voice and immediately freeze. I turn my head to where the voice came from and see no other than Stella Yamada and her family.

I hide behind a tree and peak my head to the side so that I could still see her. You're probably wondering why I'm trying to avoid being seen by her let's just say I don't really want to be around her right now how I'm feeling because I don't know what I would do. I could mess everything up.

From where I'm standing I can see that they were having a family picnic. The boys were flying there kites that they probably made. And Stella was scowling at her father while he ate a hamburger. I snort, typical Stella.

"What are you doing hiding behind a tree?"

I jumped out of surprise at hearing someone's voice. I turn around and come face to face with none other than Olivia White.

"Gosh you scared the crap out of me! Don't ever do that again." I said clutching my chest.

She blushes slightly and says "Sorry. Didn't think I'd freak you out!" I calm down and we start walking towards the swings. I try to cover my face while we pass by Stella on our way.

Once we reach the swings she sits down and pulls me down on the other one. "Okay so why did you tell me to come?" she asked getting to the point.

"Okay um I need um help or advice." I say looking down at my hands.

"Um don't mean to be rude but why didn't you ask Stella? I mean you go to her for everything right?" I look up at her and sigh.

"Yeah I normally do. But I can't this time because the problem is about her."

"Okay so let me guess. You like her but you don't want to ruin your friendship by telling her if she doesn't like you back." She says smirking lightly at me.

"How did you-" "It's pretty obvious that you two like each other." She interrupts me putting her hand on my shoulder.

"Really?" she nods. "Wait you said the two of us. She doesn't like me like that." I say staring at her clueless.

"Wow Charlie how clueless get you get?" she chuckles. "Of course she likes you! I see the way she looks at you. It's the same way you look at her." She says shaking her head.

"Are you sure?" I asked pretty shocked.

"Positive."

"I don't believe you."

"Fine don't. But take my advice and just tell her!"

"But what if-"

"She does Charlie!" she giggles at me and says "Just tell her!"

I smile and say "Okay I'll try." "Thanks Liv." I give her friendly hug.

She blushes and says "Hey no problem. And if you need anymore help just ask. Okay?" she stands up and stretches.

"Alright Olivia. And if you need any help with the whole 'Wen thing' I'm here for you too." I smirk as I stand up as well.

She immediately drops her arms and asks "What are you talking about?" she starts to blush.

"Oh don't give me that! It's pretty obvious you got a crush on the Wenster!"

"Uh! I do not." She says hitting me on the arm playfully. She turns scarlet. I whisper to her ear "Oh you soo do!"

"Do not!" she says starting to walk away. "Do too!"

"Nuh uh!"

I laugh "Whatever you say Livs!" I called out as I start making my way home to think about how or when am I going to tell Stella that I've fallen for her.
