Lemonade Mouth was in the principal's office. Safe to say, Brenigan didn't like the surprise.

"Well, well, well." he said before he started clapping. "That was quite a show you all put on at the Halloween Bash." he laughed.

Brenigan slowly got up from his chair. "You're very talented. Very." He said as he walked over to the band that stood in line. A smirk tugged at the edge of Stella's lips. Impossible to not notice.

"But, just for your information, high school dance is no place for a... political tirade." he paused. "What you did Friday night was completely, completely disruptive."

Brenigan stopped at Stella and pointed at her. "And you. You promised there'll be no funny business." he said.

Nobody dared to move. Everyone just watched from the corner of their eyes and listened.

"But it wasn't funny." Stella talked back, making the principal chuckle as he turned away from the kids. "We just spoke our minds and principal Brenigan you shut us down." argued the girl.

Brenigan ran his hands through his hair before he quickly, way too quickly, turned back around and pointed at her once again. "Yes, I shut you down because the decisions I make are for the good of this school, okay? And with that good in mind..."

He walked from Stella, who was at the beginning of the line, passing every band member until he got to Olivia at the end. "...Lemonade Mouth is finished."

Madison couldn't believe what he just said. She didn't want to believe it. Is he seriously gonna break their band up for that? She was sure he couldn't do that. It's totally unfair!

"You will not use the music room. You will not use the instruments. If I hear so much as a hum coming from the locker room showers, I will suspend you. Understood?"

A few of them nodded.

"Good. Dismissed." Brenigan snapped his fingers and the band just walked out in silence.

"This year's Halloween Bash will be best remembered for the powerful performances by surprise stand-out Lemonade Mouth." Stella read out loud to her friends from the newspaper.

Olivia gasped, the others having surprised smiles on their faces " 'A champion for students sidelined by the high school privileged and elite.' Can you believe it?" she continued reading.

Mo grabbed the newspaper out of her hands, reading it with a shocked expression. "Our first review." smiled Charlie. "And last, apparently." said Wen, causing the rest to go quiet.

A group of girls walked past their table, squealing and laughing while shyly waving at Charlie. They kept staring at him even after sitting down.

Oh, wow. Already?

Charlie happily turned to his friends. "I think they like us." he said, completely oblivious.

"I'm not sure it's us they like, Charlie." Olivia said as she brought the lemonade up to her mouth to take a sip.

Charlie furrowed his brows as he thought about that for a second. "What do you mean?"

His total obliviousness made the group burst out laughing. "Come on, bro." Wen said as the girls kept laughing.

"Do you seriously not know?" Madison asked, trying to calm herself.

Charlie just shook his head. They all started laughing even more as Olivia said, "Nevermind." leaving the drummer completely confused.
