AUTHOR'S NOTE: I had just seen the movie and I absolutely fell in love with this pairing! Even though you barely see any stories about them, oh well.

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Lemonade Mouth and if I did I assure you it would not have been as awesome T-T and I don't owe "Here I Am" from Camp Rock either.

Stella's POV

'We did it, I can't believe it. We actually played in Madison Square Garden!' That was my thought once we finished the concert. Two weeks later however, well…

"This isn't working!"

"Maybe if we just try one more time…"

Sound familiar? It should. That was the exact commentary Mo and Olivia had when we first tried to be a band, except now its Charlie and me. Everything seemed great at first, Olivia and Wen got together after the concert, Mo and Scott are still going strong, and Charlie hooked up with some girl from school. Everything should be great, except we ran into even more problems. Olivia and Wen are in their 'honeymoon' phase and wont pay attention to anything or anyone but each other, Scott and Mo are the same deal, and the girl Charlie hooked up with is annoyingly clingy. She shows up to every single practice and makes irritating comments ("Stella why don't you just let Scott play guitar instead and drop out?"). Ok, rephrase, some hating comments! Not that she ever lets Charlie hear her; whenever he's around she's nice. I've thought about telling Charlie but I don't think he'll believe me; he's already stressed out enough lately. I think it's because of her. He's always on edge now and snaps at everyone more than a few times. Mo and Olivia have their boyfriends to help them out whenever Charlie yells, me on the other hand. Um…

"Come on Stella! How hard can the song be! Scott plays it just fine!" Yup, just another regular practice for Lemonade Mouth. Note my sarcasm.

"Sorry…" I don't try to fight back anymore, Charlie can be pretty scaring when he's mad and I don't want to push him.

"Why doesn't Scott play the guitar for this song? You don't mind, do ya Stella?" And there goes the little two-faced. 'Yes I do damn well mind!'

"No, not at all…" I am such a wimp. I moved the guitar strap away from my neck and started to leave.

"Alright, I'll play for the practice but why don't I teach Stella how to play it later?" Even though Scott was our 'enemy' at first he's pretty cool now. And I have to remember to thank him later for this. He seemed to be the only one who doesn't really like the snake-girl anymore than I do and sees through her act. Due to this fact, I told him about what she says to me and he actually believes me.

"Good idea, Scott" Mo doesn't mind that her boyfriend is staying after practice with me. Shows how much she trusts us, doesn't it? If you're wondering what song I can't play it's "Breakthrough". I was singing and didn't really play my instrument at the concert.

I'm right now just sitting on the bench outside our private studio (Mel donated the money for it) and waited until I can go in to practice. Ever since things have gone downhill I've been getting more quiet and shy. Isn't really my style but can you help it if you were me right now? I guess I was just feeling lonely and left out. Two-face's insults don't really help either. Speaking of two-faced, is that her running towards me?

"What's with you-" I was interrupted by her hand reaching and smacking me. I was frozen for a little bit before taking her appearance. She was crying but glaring at me with her massive make-up running.

"This is your entire fault! If you hadn't even existed-" she started to shriek out loud and I was pretty sure the rest of the band could hear her but I didn't really give a damn, the chick smacked me! And Stella Yamada will not let her get away with it!

SMACK! She stared at me disbelieving and I leaned in close and hissed to her:

"Then Lemonade Mouth wouldn't have ever existed and you wouldn't have any band to worship." It seemed like the old Stella was finally coming back, until she ran off and I turned to find the rest of the band staring at me. Charlie was the first to react, though it was expected with how he's been acting.

"What's your problem Stella! What Victoria ever do to you!" Ah, so that was her name; Victoria. I forgot about it, oh well. I just stood there letting Charlie vent until I would be able to defend myself. Fat chance of that happening any time soon.

"Well!" He stood there waiting for an answer but my mouth wouldn't work.

"Charlie, just chill man. You don't even know that it was Stella's fault." Looked like Scott and Mo weren't the only ones who trusted me; Thanks Wen. "Maybe Victoria said something to upset Stella. She wouldn't do anything without a reason."

"…Why was she crying anyway?" The first thing that comes out of my mouth and it had to be those words. 'Stupid!'

"Charlie dumped her." Olivia said without any remorse and a hint of glee. 'Huh? Wasn't she the nice and forgiving one?' I was completely bewildered.

"About time." Mo muttered, though I think I was the only one who heard.

"Wait, so I wasn't the only one who didn't like her?" I turned towards Olivia, Wen, Scott and Mo with a lost look on my face.

"Come on Stella, you don't think we were oblivious to how she treated you right?" That was Olivia, and I couldn't believe it! I wasn't alone!

"Wait, what do mean, how she treated Stella?" And there goes the ever confused Charlie.

"Please don't tell me you were actually that oblivious!" Yup, looks like I'm back!

"What did she do to you?" Okay, no matter how cute he looked right now there was no way I was going to let him off the hook for not noticing the real she-witch (uh, I mean Victoria).

'Wait…did I say cute?'

Well, it's been two more weeks since the whole Victoria thing and after I blew up at Charlie (to which he apologized and practically begged forgiveness) we all went back to how we used to be. Our songs were practiced to perfection and I was finishing writing one I started during the whole 'incident'. Practice was over for the day and Scott, Mo, Wen, and Olivia already left for their double date.

"You got a ride home Stella?" Ever since the whole blow up thing Charlie has been nicer and seemed to revert back to his old self.

"Nah, I'ma probably just chill here for a while." I just wanted to have the studio for myself so I can play my song.

"You sure?" He's been so protective of me lately, not that I mind it's sweet. But I really wanted to play my song and I couldn't do that at home. My parents say that's what the studio is for (They have still been tolerant about the whole music career though).

"I'm sure Charlie. I'll see tomorrow in school, okay?" I said with a smile.

"Y-yeah, sure." He flushed a little, turned and speed-walked out of there. 'Did I say something?' I shrugged, grabbed my guitar and just started playing the soft intro.

They tell you a good girl is quiet and that you should never ask why

'Cause it only makes it harder to fit in

That you should be happy, excited even if you're just invited

'Cause the winners need someone to clap for them

By this point I was too into the song and didn't notice the sound of the door opening and closing.

It's so hard just waiting in a line that never moves

It's time you started make your own rules

You gotta scream until there's nothin' left, with your last breath

Say here I am, here I am, make 'em listen

'Cause there's no way you'll be ignored, not anymore

So here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am

You only get one life to work it so who cares if it's not perfect

Say it's close enough to perfect for me

Why should you hide from the thunder and lightning that you're under

'Cause there ain't nobody else you wanna be

If how your living isn't working there's one thing that will help

You gotta finally just stop searchin' to find yourself

You gotta scream until there's nothin' left, with your last breath

Say here I am, here I am, make 'em listen

'Cause there's no way you'll be ignored, not anymore

So here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am

My eyes were shut and I started moving to the song.

The world better some room, yeah, move over, over

'Cause you're coming through, 'cause you're coming through

You gotta scream until there's nothin' left, with your last breath

Say here I am, here I am, make 'em listen

'Cause there's no way you'll be ignored, not anymore

So here I am, here I am, here I am, here I am

Playing the song made me feel much better. I sighed contently and started to put my guitar back into its case until I heard someone clapping. I whipped around to find Charlie at the doorway with a big goofy smile on his face.

"That was great Stella!" He moved away from the doorway, picked up my bag and took my hand in his.

"Um, thanks. What are you doing back here?" I think my brain officially shut down after this. Charlie was just too close. I could smell his scent, I couldn't really define it but it smelled like Mel's lemonade and something else that made it different.

"You wanna go get a slice of pizza? I don't think Dante's is closed." He seemed kind of nervous which in turn made me smile. He just looked kinda cute, fidgeting like that.

"Like a date?" I admit, I was teasing him. But I couldn't help it, it was the perfect opportunity.

"I-if you want to!" Heh, now he's panicking. I'ma cut the kid a break. I leaned in, kissed his cheek softly, grabbed my guitar and walked to the doorway.

"You coming lover boy?" He stood frozen with yet another goofy smile before snapping out of it and running after me.

"Coming! Hey, waddya mean 'lover boy'?" I just smirked and took his hand while running towards the direction of Dante's.

"Would you prefer boyfriend instead?" I asked with a sly smirk.

"Y-yeah…" he stuttered out while trying to regain his footing.

"Ok then. Hurry up boyfriend!" he laughed and my response and squeezed my hand.

'Thank you Victoria!'

AUTHOR'S NOTE:Yeah I think I rushed at the end but whatever. Review please!
