Chapter 4: A rivalry

The week was definitely frantic as Leia wanted to do a song for the goodbye party for those going on tour. Leia asked Mr. T if she could perform an original song thats completely new. That being said she didn't really have a plan and also Luke didn't agree to the duet either. Luke wanted to focus on the band, so he rejected her. But Leia said that it was fine that she could make the song and he just learn the song. He agreed to that since there wouldn't be much work to that and he could focus on other things. He really just went to John's house to hang out.

John was playing a song that he wrote for Michelle. John's dad and John start to get to get tense, so Luke always defuses it. Yuna was at her house because she also got permission to sing a song for the going away party. Leia had a crush on Luke, but he had a crush on Yuna. Of course, Yuna was much more closer with the band because they were the first people she made friends with. Yuna had some feelings towards Luke but it was too early to tell. Leia had writers block which wasn't good since the party was tonight and everything that she was writing was bad. Rachael said to give one of her other songs, and perform those.

Leia gave it to Mr. T and it was rejected because it wasn't original, it was coasting. Mr. T hates coasting, its lazy and doesn't give a genuine sound. The party comes, Luke goes to perform John's song and in the middle of it all Leia gets up to perform with him, shocking some people. Leia thanks Luke for the song about her, which Yuna and Michelle are hurt by. Michelle because she thought it was John's song to her, and Yuna because she never thought that Luke felt that way about Leia. It wasn't true and Luke tried to explain, but Michelle left. Leia didn't know the damage she just caused. Luke was really upset because this was the time that John was going to get to tell Michelle how he felt about her. Luke goes to Yuna to wish her luck, but she just brushes past him coldly. He was sadden by this but didn't know why.

Yuna gets up to perform her song, [Legends Never Die by Against the Current & Mako]

Everyone loves the performance, Mr. T really loved that it was special for the people going on tour. People actually really like Yuna because of her energy on stage even if she doesn't talk much in person. Rachael was really impressed by Yuna's song writing, it was unlike anything that she had ever heard before. She definitely knew that Leia had some hard competition against Yuna.

Leis and Luke made up because she obviously didn't know that the song wasn't for her. They hug, Yuna who was coming to see Luke saw them hugging, she misunderstood their hug as something more. Yuna just felt her heart break a little as she turned and walked back to where she came from. A tear rolled down her eye as she swiftly wiped it away. Luke and Leia stopped hugging.

Luke: " You are such a great friend you know that."

Leia: "Friend, yup of course" Leia obviously disappointed that she was friend-zoned. It was overwhelming to her and she didn't know what to feel.

Luke walks away, but Leia still feels that she lost control over her emotions. Luke goes to look for Yuna, he didn't get a chance to congratulate her on her performance. He also needed to make his and Leia's relationship clear to her. Luke was afraid that it might have really hurt Yuna, especially about how she treated him earlier. He finds her sitting in a recording studio writing song lyrics. He goes into the room, and waves awkwardly.

Luke: "Hey" he says sheepishly.

Yuna: "..."

Luke: "Umm, congrats on your performance"

Yuna: "Thanks" in a whisper. He knew she was mad, because they gotten to the point of being able to speak together in public with her normal voice. He knew she was closed off from him.

Luke: "There is nothing going on between me and Leia, the song earlier was John's to Michelle. Leia just jumped on stage" Yuna turns to look at him, as if to signal 'was there more?'

Luke: "Yuna, I don't like Leia, she's a great person I just don't feel the same for her" He pleads. He chickens out of confessing to her.

Outside the room was Leia, She heard everything, and she was really heartbroken. The guy she liked didn't like her back. She couldn't take it, so she left, leaving Yuna and Luke alone talking and reconciling.
