Hello friends. If you are reading this, it means I've gotten through my first story with Jera Gunner (You might not remember that's her last name) YAY!

As you can guess, my last statement means that this was written while I was writing the first story. (Chapter 25 to be exact)

Here comes the Disclaimer: Like I said last time. I DON'T own Twilight, no surprise there. However, I DO own my characters.

Anyway, enjoy.

"Five, six seven eight!" Chanted our dance teacher Miss Kelly. I growled lightly as I turned to my partner, the ever lovely (sarcasm) Melanie. She was short with glasses could pass as twelve but was seventeen. Melanie has spastic motions and was a horrible dancer. I had no idea how or why she was placed so high in our dance studio.

"Be kind, Jera," Alice said quietly. I looked across the room. Alice was doing the choreography with her partner, her mouth shut. Damn those ventriloquist books she had.

Bella, who was standing of to the side, not in this part of the dance joined in. "Yeah Jera, don't you feel bad for her?" I growled in reply.

When I got a chance to turn around, I hissed at them. "You don't have to partner with that thing." They giggled. I rolled my eyes, wishing I could kill them. My exist for the section finally came. Alice was suddenly leaning next to me on the mirrors. I whacked her hard despite the lack of impact it would have.

"This rehersal ends, when?" I asked in anticipation.

"Never," she said manically. I growled at her and then turned to one of my human friends, Taylor. It seemed that I was more capable of making human friends than Bella and Alice.

She laughed at me. "It's not fun! You try having to," I looked around, Melanie was with earshot. So I spoke in the made up language we had perfected. (After many "sleepovers") "Partenering with Melanie."

"Aw, come on it can't be...well yes it is," Taylor continued in our language.

"You," I said pointing at her with both fingers. "Are the worst friend ever." She mocked cried. Hoping she wouldn't notice, I pushed her back with my mind. Behind me I heard Alice starting to scold me and I pushed her back too.

"Ok, five minute water break," Miss Kelly aid as she turn off the music. I walked over to get my water bottle.

I passed Scarlet, another friend, to pick up my water and pretended to drink it. "Jera, I saw what you did to Taylor," she remarked lightly. I grinned. Scarlet was a really good friend. She had always been one to me since we moved to Riverside, Illinois three years earlier. So much, that two years ago, I told her about the Cullen's and my family. (Which would be me, Gabriel, and I considered Jacob part of my family although we aren't married, yet...)

"Oh really? Want my water?" I asked holding the bottle out. Scarlet nodded and took it.

She took a sip. "You know, I pity you. After all you have to partener with..."

"Don't say it, or I will literally suck the life out of you right now."

Scarlet laughed at me and started taking a drink. I snatched the water away from her, teasing her. "No fair!" she pouted.

"Very fair." There was a light tap on my shoulder. "Hey Bells," I said without turning around. "Do you know what time rehersal ends? Alice wouldn't tell me."

"Eh, I think 2:30, right Scarl?" Bella and Alice had grown very fond of Scarlet. Even Rosalie liked her to some degree.

"Yeah." I looked up at the clock, thirty more minutes. Then I growled.

Alice was then next to me. "Wow, you are not in a good mood day today."

"Well I'm anxious. Jacob and Gabriel have been keeping a secret from me. I can't read minds anymore. And Jacob won't give up information no matter what I do."

"So what makes you think that it will be today?" Bella asked.

"Because that was the one bit of information I was able to get out of them. That's the only problem with us not living with you guys." The Cullen's had two houses in Riverside, for some unknown reason. So, when we moved here, they let Jacob, Gabriel, and I, (Oh, and our dog, Rocket too) live in the smaller one, which was still pretty large.

Scarlet frowned. "Do you think it will be bad?" she asked. I laughed lightly.

"I highly doubt that one." But of course, a seed of doubt had just been planted in my mind. And being me, it would turn into a fulfledged fear by the time I got home.

Alice jerked her head to the door. I smelled it too, it was Edward and Jacob. They enjoyed coming to the rehersals to watch us. Every girl, but Scarlet, was surprised that we had kept around the same boys for three years. The two were chatting to each other. They laughed. I growled. Edward probably knows the secret right now. Joy.

"Ok, break's up!" Miss Kelly turned on the music. I growled again, that was not five minutes.

The rest of rehersal flew past me. Bella gathered her things the fastest of us three and flung herself into Edward's arms ASAP. "Bye, Jera, good luck," Scarlet said as I stood up to leave. I nodded my head and smiled. Alice then tapped me on the shoulder. She smiled a suspicious grin. Her vision smile, as I have come to call it. I walked away.

"That better be a good sign Alice," I called over my shoulder. She giggled.

"Bye, Jer."

"Hmm."

"Don't be grumpy." Grumpy? Interesting choice of words.

"Hello," Jacob said happily.

"Hi." I kissed him on the cheek.

"We should be getting home."

"Yes, we should."

"Yeah, so should we," Edward said. "But someone is taking forever." Alice giggled.

"Alice, don't make me chop your head off," Bella whined.

I wanted to get going. "Ok, well we can go right, Jake?" I asked.

"Nah, let's wait for Alice."

"I will assist Bella in chopping your head off, Alice," I threatened. She appeared at the door.

"Oh, I'm scared," she mocked. Edward rolled his eyes and grabbed Alice's arm tightly.

"Thank you," I said. I then grabbed Jacob and dragged him out behind the others.

The sky was cloudy. That was lucky. Although I enjoyed Illinois greatly. It wasn't anywhere near as cloudy as Forks. Quickly, I spotted Jacob's old Rabbit and ran to it at a very fast human pace, just in case anyone was looking. Jacob, however, took to a slower pace. I slid over into the drivers seat, gripping the steering wheel impatiently.

At long last Jacob was in the car. "But I want to drive," he whined.

"Too bad." Then, I mentally retrieved his keys. "Thank you." Quickly, I started the engine and slammed Jacob's door. Before he even had his hand on the seatbelt, I was pulling out of the parking lot.

I guess you are all kind of surprised. BECAUSE NOT ONE GUESSED A STATE. lol. They are still in USA. My reason for that is to slowly dettach Bella from her human life. You know what I mean? Maybe not...it kind of ties into the rest of the story...

Also, the name of my story is a quote from a song in RENT. One of my inspirations.
