Hello all!! This is my first Twilight fanfic. I got this idea while reading Welcome to Drama Academy by twilightluver001! I hope you enjoy this story! I worked very hard on it!! Thank you for clicking on this story!

PS – I know this sounds a lot like Step Up and Step Up 2, but I've only seen Step Up 2 so I hope this won't be anything like Step Up. I'd be so embarrassed. But please let me know!!

Summary – Bella's a ballerina, and has to two jobs to pay for lessons, while Edward is a street dancer, despite his extremely rich family. When the two meet, will their different worlds keep them apart? Or will they learn it really is just a small world after all.

x.x.x.x.x.

Bella's POV

"Again!" My trainer said. Practicing for the recital this weekend, was not easy. Not that I expected it to be, but man, was she really pushing me for this one!

"C'mon Ann, I've done this routine at lease fifteen times. May I please take 5 minute break?" My body ached everywhere, especially my feet. Ann rolled her eyes.

"Fine, Miss Swan, but afterward back to work! This recital could really affect your life. Talent agents will be coming! You are the prima ballerina." She exclaimed, as I gulped down my water. How many times have I heard this before? Oh Bella, this is your big chance! Bella, if you mess this up you'll mess up your whole career! I get it already, you don't need to tell me every single day. I shook my head; people these days. I glanced out of the window, since there was always something going on out there. One day it'd be people selling personal belongs, the next day it'd be street performers, you name it. So, today there were street dancers. I had always loved watching the way they moved; powerful and aggressive.

I watched one in particular, he had bronze / auburn hair and an unbelievably gorgeous face, but that's all I could tell from where I was sitting. I secretly hoped they'd still be there when I left.

"Bella? Were you paying attention to anything I said? Break time is over. Come on. Get back to work." Ann said, exasperated.

"Yes ma'am…" I sighed and gave one last glance to the window. To my utter surprise, that bronze haired boy, was looking at me; and it seemed like he was smirking, as if he noticed me staring a while back. I blushed and rushed up to practice. This was going to be a long day.

x.x.x.x

"All right Bella, you're good for the day. You did very well, just work on your pirouette. All right dear?"

"Yeah, Ann. Thank you very much." I said, meaning every word, as I zipped my jacket, just getting finished changing in to a pair of low ride hip hugging jeans and a T-shirt. I normally just wear regular jeans, but I hadn't been able to do the wash for a while now. You know, ballet everyday, school, and two jobs take a lot out of a girl. Why two jobs? Well, my I can't have my dad paying for ballet. This is something I promised myself I'd do alone. I planned to stick with it. I slung my bag over my shoulder walked out of the studio, very pleased with the work I had just done. I was started digging in my purse for my car keys. Goodness, I swear those keys have a knack for getting lost.

"Missing something?" I heard a velvety male voice call from behind me. He sounded amused. I turned around to see it was the street dancer from earlier, and let me tell you: he was so much cuter up close. He had the most alluring, angelic green eyes anyone had ever seen. He was pale, despite the slight color in his cheeks from dancing. I noticed his group was still over there performing, working very hard it seemed.

"Yeah, my keys. Easiest thing to lose. Well, for me at least." I sighed. He chuckled.

"Have you checked your pockets?" He said, smiling a crooked smile any girl would die for.

"Um…no." I said, reaching in my back pockets. Sure enough, there were my keys. He laughed.

"Thanks." I said, my face red from embarrassment.

"No problem. Edward Cullen." He said, extending his hand out.

"Bella Swan." I flushed, putting my hand in his.

"Nice. Well, see you around, Miss Swan." He said, swiftly kissing my hand, and briskly walking away. If I thought my face couldn't get any redder, I was wrong. I walked to my car, clumsily which, though I was a ballerina, was normal for me. I unlocked my truck's door, and turned it on with a roar. I looked behind me to see all the dancers jump. I giggled. The looks on their faces were absolutely priceless. I drove the twenty minute drive back to my house with a small smile on my face, which was still red, and with my heart jack hammering.

I took a quick cold shower and blew dry my hair. My second job started soon, and I was running a little late as is. I rushed my uniform on and instantly ran out of the house. I hopped in the car and drove off. This job was a little bit dangerous, not that I told Charlie. If Charlie knew…I shuddered at the thought. I worked at a bar, no not a bartender, but the one who broke up the fights when they'd get started; and let me tell you. BIG BUCKS. It was kind of easy, this job, because we ballerinas have pretty good muscles if I do say so myself. I pulled into the almost full parking lot, and I knew that tonight would be interesting. I got out of my truck and walked in, pulling my hair up into a ponytail.

"Sorry I'm late." I explained to the manager. He just shook his head.

"Just please get to work, as you can see the place is packed and there's already a fight started." He sighed, already stressed out.

"Yes sir." I strode away to the back of the bar where the fight was happening. Two middle aged drunkards. Joy.

"Both of you!! Break it up. This is not a place for fighting." I said, shoving them both roughly away from each other. I glared at both of them.

"Hmph." One of them sneered as the walked off, rubbing his jaw. The other one, on the other hand, was a whole different story.

"Oh thank you –hic- kind miss. I honestly don't know what came over me. Let me gi-hic-ve you a thank you kiss." He slurred, making kissy faces at me. I smirked, and effortlessly pushed him aside.

"Sorry sir, it's not my job to flirt with the costumers. Or be nice to them for that matter. Please leave." I said, cheerily showing him the door. He harrumphed and muttered something unintelligible under his breath as he made his way out of the bar. I smirked and walked to my position at the back of the bar, where I could see everything going on. It was pretty neat; very interesting the way people acted when they were drunk. I smiled to myself, amused.

The night went pretty smoothly to say the least. Only three fights after that first one, and thankfully, no more middle aged men hitting on me.

"Okay. I'm going to get going now. Bye!" I called at the end of my shift. The manager nodded and I was just about to walk out of the bar, before I felt someone grab my wrist. I turned around to see someone with a much panicked face.

"Please. There's a really bad fight out back. I don't know what to do, please…" They said. I sighed and nodded. They looked relieved for an instant, but worry soon colored their face again.

"C'mon, follow me." I did as I was told and hurried to the back where the fight was being held. Blood was already shed. I got a little woozy from the smell.

"Ugh. Okay you two!!!!!" I shouted, angry and disorientated. I shoved them away from each other as hard as I could, causing them to crash into the wall behind each of them.

"You BOTH get out right now! If I see you in here fighting again, you'll be banned from this bar. Do I make myself clear?" At this point, I was beyond disoriented. I felt myself falling backward, and usually I could catch myself, but I couldn't this time.

"Whoa! You okay?" This voice was familiar, but only vaguely. I blinked a few times and looked into a pair of green eyes.

"Yeah…thanks." I tried to remember where I'd seen those eyes. Hmmm…oh!! It was the street dancer. What was his name again…?

"No problem Miss Swan." He smirked. Edward Cullen! There we go, that's his name! I flushed, remembering what had happened earlier that day.

"Oh! Edward. I didn't know you came here. Come to think of it, you're not really aloud here. You're my age, right?" I was still disoriented, for we haven't really moved away from the fight seen, where the blood still hadn't been cleaned. I groaned. He chuckled.

"I'm 18. It's okay. For this bar at least. Are you alright?" He looked concerned. I nodded.

"The smell of blood; it makes me dizzy." I shook my head, and wished I hadn't. The room started spinning, even with Edward holding me up. I realized just where I was and what he was doing and flushed. I'm guessing he read my face. He smirked.

"You think if you had some water it'd help?" He asked, making his way to the bartender; his hand on my wrist.

"Um…sure." Now that we were away from the blood, my head was getting clearer.

"One water bottle please." He said to the bartender, women in her twenty's; it seemed, with bleached blonde hair. I shook my head as she looked seductively at Edward.

"Is there anything else I can do for you?" She said in a sickly sweet voice.

"No, water's fine." He slid a five her direction. She looked disappointed, but took the five and handed him the water and change.

"Thanks." He said, handing me the water and shoving the change in his pocket. I unscrewed the cap and took a long drink. I guess I hadn't really noticed how thirsty I was until I realized I had just about drained the bottle. He rose his eyebrow, amused. I took a deep breath.

"Thanks Edward. I needed that." I flushed.

"No problem."

"Yeah…well I better go. My dad will already be mad that I'm late. He doesn't know that I work here. Bye" I really didn't want to be rude, with him being so nice to me and all, but I really had to leave. I rushed out of the bar and into my car. Thankfully I knew where my keys were. I shoved them into the ignition and drove as quickly as I could home, not breaking the speed limit. Rules are beaten into your brain when you live with the police chief.

It was almost eleven o'clock when I got home. Tonight was a school night and I was usually asleep by now. It took me fifteen minutes to get home and I was let off at 10:15. I know, a weird time to get off right? I didn't understand it either. Thankfully, Charlie was already asleep, so I was free to shower; he could sleep through just about anything.

I rushed to my room, grabbing pajamas, then to the bathroom, to take a five minute shower. I could get everything done in that time, couldn't I? I turned on the shower, undressed, and shivered when the cold water flowed through my hair and down my back. It felt good.

I was out in about ten minutes and dreadfully tired. I trudged to my room, and fell asleep upon lying on bed.

x.x.x.x.x.x

I was groggy when my alarm clock went off. I stayed at the bar too late, which made me now thankful that I showered when I got home last night. I changed into a black skirt and a light blue blouse. I sighed. I only had an hour after school, since my first job, working at a McDonalds, started at 3 o'clock. School got out at 2. Maybe I could talk Charlie into doing wash…

I walked downstairs to see Charlie had already left. I sighed and pulled out a notepad.

Dad,

Please, can you do wash tonight? All my clothes are in the basket upstairs. I'll be sure to make you something special to eat this weekend. I love you!

Bella.

I stuck it to the fridge, knowing he'd be hungry when he got home, thus giving more chance that he'd actually do it. I smiled and grabbed a pop tart. I was pretty hungry so I downed it in a few bites after getting something to drink. I gulped down my water and checked the time. 6:44; crap. I was running late. I rushed outside to my truck and hurriedly drove off to school, taking, thankfully, only five minutes. I rushed to my class breathless just as the bell rang.

"Nice Bella. Just in time." My friend Angela whispered to me. I smiled.

"Yeah, I know right?" We giggled as the teacher called us to attention.

"Class, today we have a new student. She just moved here from Port Angeles. Please welcome Miss Alice Cullen." She said as the door opened to reveal a short, pixie faced girl. She was very pretty, and had short spiky hair that stopped right at her chin line. She smiled at us.

"Hi! My name is Alice Cullen. I'm very excited to be here. I hope we all become good friends!" She chirped in a wind chime like voice. I smiled; I liked her already.

"Thank you for introducing yourself Miss Cullen, will you please sit by Miss Swan? Bella raise your hand." I did as told and received a warm smile from Alice.

"Thank you dear. Now sit down and we shall begin class." Alice nodded and –what seemed like- danced over to her seat beside me. She pulled out her schedule and showed it to me.

"Hi, I don't really know my way around, so I was hoping we had some classes together?" She said, hopeful, but with just a little bit of worry in her eyes.

I scanned the paper, and a wide smile spread across my face. I turned to her.

"We have all classes together!" I was so excited. I knew I could-no, would-become good friends with Alice. She quietly squealed with delight.

"Oh Bella I'm so happy! I can't wait for you to meet my family. I have biological brothers and an "adopted" brother and sister. It but my adopted brother is also my boyfriend…that's not weird is it?" She panicked. I laughed, somehow not surprised.

"Oh no. Do you share the same last name?"

"Cullen? No, they use Hale as their last name. I'll introduce you to them at lunch. You'll just love them!" She giggled. I smiled. I'm sure I would.

…

Then it hit me. CULLENS!! Like Edward Cullen. I literally smacked my forehead from stupidity. The teacher gave me a funny look, but continued with her lesson. Alice looked over at me, confused.

'I'll tell later' I mouth. She nodded. Today was going to be very interesting.

x.x.x.x.x.x

"Okay spill." Alice said, turning to me, in line for lunch.

"First off. I do ballet, and if I do say so myself, I'm very good at it. I practice for three hours everyday, only because that's all the time I have, because I work two jobs to pay for it. So the studio is in Port Angeles, alright? So I looked out of the window, because there is always something fun happening outside. And yesterday, there just happened to be street dancers; and a very cute one that caught my eye. So after practice I was looking for my keys, and he comes up to me, we talk, and he helps me find my keys-which were in my pocket." I leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"And then he kissed me on the hand and leaves. Then, at my other job, I get really dizzy and he catches me from falling, buys me water and then I leave." I took a deep breath and leaned away.

"What was his name?" She said excitedly, jumping up in down.

"Edward Cullen." She squealed and I covered my ears. Man, that girl had some wind pipes!

"Oh my gosh! My brother? That was always his favorite thing to do. You see, we all know how to dance – in any way. You name it! But Edward has liked dancing on the street the best. Krumping and what not. He taught himself that one." Alice shook her head. By now, we where at the end of the line and making our way to the table.

"Over here!!" We heard someone call. We looked towards the voice to see an absolutely gorgeous blonde calling and waving.

"That's Rosalie." Alice explained as we walked over to the table. When we got there I saw two men and Rosalie.

"Emmett, Jasper, this is Bella. She's my new best friend." She smiled and the guys chuckled. Jasper extended his hand, and I shook it.

"Hi Bella, I'm Jasper. I hope you know what you're in for. Alice can be pretty tiring sometimes." He chuckled. His hair was curly and almost the same shade as Rosalie's. Emmett did the same.

"I'm Emmett. Jazz is right. Be very careful." He laughed. He had large muscles and dark brown hair. I could pretty much guess that Jasper and Rosalie were the adopted children.

"Gosh, you guys are so mean to her…though it is true…" Rosalie teased. Alice pouted and we all laughed.

"I'm Rosalie. As I'm sure you've guessed – if Alice hasn't told you already – Jazz and I were adopted, and Jazz are her are going out, as me and Em." She smiled. "Only Edward is left out…poor guy…speaking of which where is he?"

"Where is who?" A velvety voice asked.

"Where is you! We've already gone through introductions and you weren't here, mister!" Alice said. "Though it seems you already got acquainted." She added slyly. I turned ten shades of red.

"Alice!" I exclaimed as they all, and I mean all laughed.

"You are all so mean." I pouted, which caused another laughing fit.

"Well, they are right you know." Edward said, raising his eyebrows and elbowing me in the side when all the laughing died down. I blushed and he winked.

"It's okay Bella." Alice said, hugging me. "At least you didn't have to grow up with them." I giggled.

"You're right. Thanks Alice." I smiled.

We ate and talked throughout lunch, but mostly laughed. Well, Emmett did whenever I blushed. After a while, I looked up and noticed the lunch room was just about empty.

"Oh god! We got to go!!" I said, dumping my food and rushing out of the lunch room, with Alice on my side.

"C'mon, I don't want to be late on my first day!" she giggled, and I giggled along with her. I heard Edward's laugh beside me, on the other side.

"Hey! I'm in your next class too. Biology, right?" He asked. Alice and I nodded our heads. We slowed to a walked entering the classroom. Luckily, the teacher hadn't walked into the room yet. Alice and I quickly sat in the empty lab table in the back, forcing Edward to the front with the only open space.

"Sorry!" We whispered, giggling as he sat down to his love struck partner, who was flirting and making googly eyes. Ugh, couldn't those girls find anything better to do with their time? She giggled and slapped his shoulder playfully. I guess not.

"Okay class." The teacher said, walking into the classroom, flipping a sheet of paper over. "We have two new students, Edward, and Alice Cullen. Will you two please stand up?" He said looking up at the class. I winked at Alice as she stood up. She smiled.

"Alright class, they have just transferred here from Port Angeles. Please give them a warm welcome, alright? Oh, also, Miss Cullen, I'd like you to switch with Mr. Cullen." Alice looked at me.

'I'm sorry! I'll miss you!' I mouthed and she giggled. She hurried over to where Edward was, as he walked casually walked over beside me. He sat down and gave a low chuckle.

"Looks like we're going to be good friends, eh Miss Swan."

"Joy." I said sarcastically. We both laughed. I turned to look at Alice who was eyeing me, a knowing smirk on her lips. She quickly turned back to her partner as class began.

x.x.x.x.x

The rest of the day went without a hitch, to my surprise. I mean, all the Cullens where all very good looking. I'm surprised the whole school didn't go crazy. I was especially happy I was such good friends with Alice and Rosalie, not that I wasn't good friends with the others, but I just didn't know them as well.

The bell had just rung for school to get out. I sighed with relief; now I could practice that pirouette Ann said I needed to. As I briskly walked to my car, I seemed to find someone keeping my pace just as easily. I looked.

"So where are we rushing off to now?" Edward's musical voice rang.

"Well, I need to practice my pirouette, Mr. B-Boy." He chuckled.

"I'd like to see you perform sometime." I froze for a moment, then turned to him.

"You what?"

"You seem to work very hard, and I'd like to see how your work pays off. Maybe, if you're lucky, I'll get you roses." I laughed.

"Whatever lover boy." I teased.

"We'll all come, not just me. We all have been very excited." I sighed. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad having them there after all.

"Fine. I'll see if I can get, what seven tickets? Including your parents?"

"Haha. Sure why not. Well, see you tomorrow ballerina girl." I shook my head as he rushed to get into a silver Volvo that was just about to leave.

This week was sure to be interesting.
