One of the misconceptions about Lemonade Mouth is that we were a natural fit from the start...
Totally. Not. True.

~Your POV~

"Come on Charlie! It's a simple four-four beat. You're not even trying." Stella complains, annoyed with Charlie. I turn on her.

"No one talks to my brother that way, Stella. I suggest you don't be the first." I glare at her. She, of course, ignores me. Knowing my threats are mostly empty.

"It's B, B-Flat, back to B, then F-Sharp. Ready?" She doesn't wait for anyone to answer before starting to play.

Wen, Charlie, and Mo try to join with their instruments but it doesn't sound great. Or good at all really. I give up before Olivia even starts the first verse.

"Guys, this isn't working!" Mo exclaims, frustrated.

"We'll get it!" Stella stubbornly replies. "We just need to keep practicing." Everyone groans at the mention of even more practice. Stella still decides to kick us while we're down.

"Also, maybe we need to go a little more hardcore." She confidently states.

We all throw her dirty looks. Mo is the first to speak up.

"Yknow what? I'm out of here." She starts taking off her bass.

"What?! You're just gonna stomp away?!" Stella questions accusingly.

"Look, in case you haven't noticed, I'm classically trained. In violin! I don't play whatever this is!" She begins walking out.

"Mo, come on." I try to plead with her.

"I'm- I'm out too" Charlie states as he stands up, putting the drumsticks down. I turn around, surprise and hurt on my face.

"Charlie.." I trail off, just looking at him sadly.

"Guys, we can't give up. We've barely even started." Olivia states, begging. They continue to walk away.

"They're quitting before we've even started. They're quitters!" Stella yells at their backs. Charlie turns around and throws his hands up.

"Shut up, Stella!"

Olivia and I turn to see Wen has started playing a melody. He looks up and nods at us. We look at each other before walking up to the duo trying to leave.

[Olivia]
Can you see me?
Cause I'm right here
Can you listen?
[You]
Cause I've been trying to get you to notice
What it would mean to me
To feel like somebody
We've been on our way to nowhere
Trying so hard to get there
[You & Olivia]
And I say oh!
We're gonna let it show
We're gonna just let go of everything
Holding back our dreams
And try!
To make them come alive
Come on let it shine so they can see
We were meant to be, somebody (somebody)
[You]
Somebody yeah~
Somehow, some day, some way
Somebody
[Olivia]
I'm so tired
Of being invisible
But I feel it, yeah
Like a fire below the surface
[You]
Trying to set me free
Burning inside of me
Cause we're standing on the edge now
It's a long way down
[You & Olivia]
But I say oh!
We're gonna let it show
We're gonna just let go of everything
Holding back our dreams
And try!
To make it come alive (make it come alive)
Come on let it shine so they can see
We were meant to be, somebody
Somebody, yeah
Some how, some day, some way
Somebody
[You]
We will walk out of this darkness
Feel the spotlight glowing like a yellow sun
[Oliva]
Woah~
[You]
If we fall, we fall together
Til we get back up and we will rise as one
Yeah~
[Everyone]
We're gonna let it show
We're gonna just let go of everything
Holding back our dreams
And try
To make them come alive
Come on let it shine so they can see
We were meant to be, somebody (somebody)
Somebody yeah
[Olivia]
Somehow, some day, some way
Somebody
