Teardrops On My Guitar

Chapter 2

Bella POV

I was woken up by a hyper-active pixie bouncing on my bed screaming at me to wake up. I hate her now, she disturbed my lovely dream. Come to think of it, what was the dream? Oh well I forgot.

"Alice, get off." I groaned half-heartedly. She continued bouncing and yelling until I decided to take action. "Alice! I said get off!"

"Okay, okay calm down grumpy bum!" she said, still jumping.

When she finally got off me - with a little threatening on my part - she decided to wait while I had my breakfast before dragging me upstairs.

"I'm dressing you today" she ordered, no room for negotiation what so ever. I just groaned and followed - correction : was dragged! - her to my room. I just sat down and let her work her magic, if anyone can call it that, personally? I like to call it torture but no one will agree with me!

"Ta da!" Alice exclaimed, after about half an hour of plucking and tweaking she actually let me look at my own face. I know I'm shocked too. But I couldn't voice my thoughts as I had lost my voice staring at the beauty in the mirror that couldn't have been me. She had given me blue eye shadow, light pink lip gloss, a tiny bit of eyeliner and mascara. I'm telling you it was a massive change to my usual non-make up appearance.

"Alice… wow it's… amazing! Wait. You haven't even started on the clothes!" My voice was hesitant at the start but now its just down-right annoyed.

"Calm down, I'm looking but you really need to go shopping soon." Her face lit up the thought and I was filled with dread.

"I did go shopping! Last week! With you! Remember!" I shouted in her face.

"Of course I remember. I was there you know." she replied, before turning back to my closet which she calls a disgrace, even though half the stuff in there was stuff she bought me.

"Oh will you just hurry up so we're not late for school?" I asked, while nervously looking at th clock.

"Alright, try this on." she threw something at me and I quickly changed into it without looking at it.

When I turned to look at the mirror, I froze… again. She had given me the midnight blue long tee-shirt, my dark skinny jeans with the chain attached (that I love BTW), the black belt with florescent music notes on it and my black lace-up converse that came up to my knees. I LOVE THIS LOOK! I mentally screeched, before I practically tackled Alice in a hug.

"Woah, I know I'm a genius but you don't have to strangle me to death." She said, trying to sound annoyed but the smile on her face betrayed her.

"Oh my fuck! I love it Ally! Love it, love it, LOVE IT! You have got to show me how to do my hair like this, it's so awesome!" I yelled while playing with the pleat that she had put at the side of my head - how she had time to put a blue ribbon in it I have no idea - I tackled her again but this time she pushed me off.

"Well if you're going to win the talent show I signed you up for - which FYI is later today - your gonna have to look the part." She said while slightly cowering behind my chair, smart girl she knows what's coming I thought evilly.

"You WHAT?" I shouted, probably waking up the whole of Forks. "And you didn't think of asking me?"

"I heard you in your room and I thought it was a good idea so calm your jets and bring your guitar!" She got over her fear and was now up in my face, well she was under my face but for a short person she was extremely scary.

I quickly gave in and decided on two songs I was going to sing. The show wasn't till after school but I was still super nervous. Everyone could tell I was taking part because I had no where to put my guitar so I had to carry it around all day.

The morning passed quickly - unfortunately - and now it was time for lunch. Oh joy, more looking at the "happy couple". I really wish I didn't have to. Wait, I don't have to. I can just go to the music room and practice. Yes! Why didn't I think of it sooner? I'll go right now so no one from my table sees me.

Walking down the hall I saw Lauren (AKA queen bitch) and Jessica (AKA queen bitch wannabe) trying to practice their "singing" act. I'm pretty sure there is some dancing and that they will be wearing scarves as a top and skirt. Just for the record their singing? Yeah it sounds like someone is throwing a bag of cat that are dying slowly and painfully against the wall. No, actually, it's worse! I actually had to hold my ears as I walked by. Of course Lauren had to notice.

"Hey, Isabitch, I see you have a guitar? You sure it wont smash when you start singing?" she sneered at me. Jessica was giggling like a good 'lil wannabe. Just to shut them up I decided to sing the chorus of Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson.

I'll spread my wings and I'll learn how to fly

I'll do what it takes

Till I touch the sky and I'll

Make a wish

Take a chance

Make a change

And break-a-way

By the time I was done they were gaping with their mouths wide open. I quickly walked up to them an snapped their mouths shut for them.

"Careful, you'll catch flies." I smiled smugly while they stuttered, saying it's not that good and they can do better, my only response was to flip the bird behind my back as I walked away.

When I got to the music room I was standing outside the door and I heard the most beautiful piano music in the history of the world… being ruined by a girl trying to sing but ended up sounding like the inside of her throat was being grated with a cheese grater.

I stepped inside to see the one and only… Edward plying that gorgeous tune. Along with Tanya sitting on top of the grand piano… meowing her heart out. I think I even saw Edward cringe. They both looked up when I walked inside and instantly looked at my guitar case. I nodded awkwardly at them both and went into the only private room that was available.

I only played the music because I just knew Tanya was listening in to see if I would be any major competition. When I started playing I distinctly heard a gasp from the other side of the door. I just couldn't tell who it was.

After I finished playing I went and grabbed the electric guitar for my "loud" number. I was playing my heart out and strumming out a thrashing guitar solo when I heard they door open. But I didn't care I was in the zone. I actually ended up on the floor on my back playing.

Once I was finished I was breathing hard and the other person in the room started a slow clap. I suddenly looked around for the first time and saw about twenty people all staring surprised at me and them all clapping. Soon after the bell went and everyone went to class. The period I had after lunch was biology, which I sat next to Edward in. Oh joy. Seriously, Oh joy! I packed away my guitar and headed to biology.

When I sat down Edward tuned to me instantly.

"I didn't know you played." He said, a look of hurt on his glorious face. It didn't look right there.

"Neither did anyone else." I said quickly to cheer him up. It worked.

"So, are you is the contest?" He asked, curiosity lacing his voice.

"Yeah, the hyper-active pixie you call a sister signed me up. I'm seriously considering burning every item of clothing she owns." I said, just trying to make him laugh his musical laugh. He chuckled at my joke.

"I'll help." He said, still chuckling.

I couldn't help but look at his perfectly chiselled features and rosy pink lips that any girl would die for… and it's not just the colour they want. His gorgeous emerald eyes almost shone in the light coming from the window.

"Umm… Bella? What are you staring at?" He asked, clearly confused.

Oh crap, Busted. I thought to myself.

"You have something in your teeth." I replied, unfazed. Wow I'm getting better at lying! Is that a good thing? I have no idea.

Soon after that the bell went and with it went Edward, Straight out the door.

The rest of the school day went in a blur, as usual. And here comes my embarrassment.

A/N : Hope you liked it! My best friend was here the whooole time helping me with ideas. If you like Morganville stories look her up her penname is Sexybite112. I accept flames even if I don't know why I got them.
