But I believe in whatever you do
And I'll do anything to see it through
Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win
We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh
-Change by Taylor Swift
Change
Bella POV
We arrived at the school. I waited for Jake to come around and get me. I keep up the clumsy act because well I just don't feel like changing it.
When Jake came and got me out we went in and were pulled over by the welcoming committee-aka Tanya.
"Hey look who it is its loner ." I just kept walking ignoring her like usual. You know how they say if you ignore a bully they just go away. Well for Tanya that's not true so she just kept going. "The girl with no future she'll probably live with her Dad forever, since her Mom didn't want her.
After years of ignoring her that's the comment that made me snap. "Tanya I can't believe you just said that I have no future. I have a future; you on the other hand will be alone on the streets as a hobo. That is if you even graduate. Everybody here knows that your GPA is 1.0 and that the only reason you've got by all these years is that your parents pay off the school. As for that little comment about my mom not wanting me yeah she left, but do you know what my dad loves me do you know if your dad does." After that I walked away gracefully down the hall. Leaving behind shocked faces that little mousy Isabella Swan just told off one of the 2nd most popular girls in school.
….LATER THAT DAY….….
Still BPOV
I called up Seth the period before lunch. I needed a favor and he and his sister Leah are the only ones who can do it for me.
"Seth get down to Forks High School by 12:00pm (my lunch time) with Leah, my guitar, your keyboard, Jake's bass, and Leah's drums and get ready to do my favorite song. Do not ask questions."
"Okay" Was all he replied.
I hung up the phone and got prepared for lunch.
….12:00pm LUNCH…..….….
Still BPOV
I walked onto the random stage that no one uses in the cafeteria and just stood there. All of a sudden Jake, Seth, and Leah walk on stage with the equipment. We started to set up. When everything was ready I started talking into the mike.
"Hello people guess what I'm going to sing a song. It's Ignorance by Paramore. If you don't like that song shut up and deal with it." The band began to play, and then I began to sing.
If I'm a bad person, you don't like me
Well, I guess I'll make my own way
It's a circle, a mean cycle
I can't excite you anymore
Where's your gavel? Your jury?
What's my offense this time?
You're not a judge but if you're gonna judge me
Well, sentence me to another life
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, no, we're not the same
We're the friends who stuck together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
hey, It's good, hey, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
This is the best thing that could've happened
Any longer and I wouldn't have made it
It's not a war, no, it's not a rapture
I'm just a person but you can't take it
The same tricks that, that once fooled me
They won't get you anywhere
I'm not the same kid from your memory
Well, now I can fend for myself
Don't wanna hear your sad songs
I don't wanna feel your pain
When you swear it's all my fault
'Cause you know we're not the same
No, we're not the same, no, we're not the same
Yeah, we used to stick together
We wrote our names in blood
But I guess you can't accept that the change is good
hey, It's good, hey, it's good
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Ignorance is your new best friend
Well, you treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
Well, I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out
You treat me just like another stranger
Well, it's nice to meet you, sir
I guess I'll go, I best be on my way out"
When we were finished the cafeteria was silent. Then a girl that goes by the name of Angela Weber stood up and began to clap. Then her boyfriend Ben Cheney stood up to and began to clap. Then one by one everyone began to stand up and clap. Soon there were only 6 people sitting down Tanya (of course), Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmett. They must have realized that I was talking to them.
I went over and hugged the band. I told Seth and Leah to get back to school and blame it on me that they ditched. They'd probably get away with it. Everyone loves me in La Push.
I took down the materials and went outside and threw the stuff in Jake's car. Then I went back inside and grabbed Jake by the hand and led him to our next class.
When I sat down, I was thinking about how this morning I thought about this being a boring day. Ha, boy was I wrong.
….AFTER SCHOOL…..….….
Still BPOV
After School I went to my English Teacher.
"Um… Excuse me sir, but I 'm was wondering if there was any club an aspiring writer could join." I asked.
"Why yes, there is, it's a group where you write something a read it a the group comments, makes suggestions, ect. It's called the Writer's Circle." He replied.
"Really, when do you meet?"
"Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays."
"Really can I join?"
"Sure ."
"Thank You." I was so happy I almost hugged him. I then walked out of the classroom and met Jake at his truck.
"What to you so long babe? I was worried." He asked.
"I was signing up for the Writer's Circle. The schools club for aspiring writers." I said with big smile my face.
"Oh. Well okay when does this club meet?" He asked.
"Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays."
"Oh okay, what time do you need me to pick you up," He asked.
"Well Jake, I was wondering if maybe I could talk Charlie into getting me my own car."
"What. Why would you want your own car?" He asked startled.
"So I can drive around even when you're busy."
"Oh well that seems practical."
"Really do you think Charlie will buy it?"
"Yeah, totally."
"Great." I then hopped in his car and waited for him to get in. When he did I think I tried to talk to me but my mind was somewhere else. It was imagining my first meeting at the Writer's Circle.
….IN THE MORNING…..….….
Alice POV
I walked into school day. I heard Bella told off Tanya today. Good for her. It's a good thing for her to change. Then I got to thinking if she can change why can't I.
….AT LUNCH…..….….
Still Alice POV
At lunch I had my Sketch Pad and was designing my new look. Then all of a sudden Bella got on stage. She began to sing and as I listened to the lyrics I got inspired and began to draw.
When her song finished I barely noticed, so when everyone stood up and applauded I barely noticed.
In the middle of her second song I finished. That's when I started paying attention. I noticed she's a really good singer. When she finished I join the standing ovation.
After she had cleared out the cafeteria went back to normal. I started eating my lunch. I think James tried to talk to me but I don't know if I'm correct. I was thinking about how when I get home I was going to design my new look and how tomorrow I was going to blow everyone away.
….AFTER SCHOOL…..….….
Still APOV
After school James drove me home. He asked what time to pick me up tomorrow. I told him I'm going to drive myself. He asked why. I just told him it was a surprise.
When I got in my room I pulled out my fabric and started designing. I made skirts, shirts, shorts, tank tops, and pants with different patterns but the same 4 colors: gold, purple, black, and red.
I can't wait to see everyone's face tomorrow.
….….AT HOME, THE NEXT DAY …..…..…..….…
Still APOV
I woke up the next day smiling. I was going to shock the entire school with my new look.
I got out of bed and went straight to my closet. I went and came out with a black t-shirt with purple letters that said Oxymoron: bubbly Goth aka Me. I found it amusing. I then put on a pair of black skinny jeans with purple hearts on the bottom part.
I went out to my black Porsche with a red stripe down it. I got in and turned on the radio. I turned the channel to 93.3. They were playing Grenade by Bruno Mars, one of my favorite songs so I started singing along.
Easy come, easy go, that's just how you live
Oh, take, take, take it all but you never give
Should've known you was trouble from the first kiss
Had your eyes wide open, why were they open?
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, no, no, no
Black, black, black and blue, beat me 'til I'm numb
Tell the devil I said, hey, when you get back to where you're from
Mad women, bad women, that's just what you are, yeah
You'll smile in my face then rip the brakes out my car
Gave you all I had and you tossed it in the trash
You tossed it in the trash, yes, you did
To give me all your love is all I ever asked
'Cause what you don't understand is
I'd catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for ya, baby
But you won't do the same
If my body was on fire
Ooh, you'd watch me burn down in flames
You said you loved me, you're a liar
'Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby
But darling, I'd still catch a grenade for ya
Throw my hand on a blade for ya
I'd jump in front of a train for ya
You know I'd do anything for ya
I would go through all this pain
Take a bullet straight through my brain
Yes, I would die for you, baby
But you won't do the same
No, you won't do the same
You wouldn't do the same
Ooh, you never do the same
No, no, no, no
When the song ended, I had arrived at school unfortunately I had my windows rolled down, so just looking at one kids face you could they were all thinking who had stolen Alice Brandon's car. Everyone in this believes I overly peppy and could never listen to something like that. Ha, I'll show them. I stepped out of my car and went into the school doors. Of course Tanya had a comment.
"You a Goth, ha what a joke."
I just flipped her off and went to class.
.….…. AT LUNCH …..….…..….…
Still APOV
I went into the cafeteria and looked for James. Since we don't have any morning classes together, I haven't seen him all day.
I then spotted him at some table near the window. I went and sat next to him.
"Hey James."
"Hey hon-, what are you wearing? " He asked, apparently startled by my outfit.
"Clothes."
"I can see that but what type of clothes."
"Clothes I designed last night."
"Why?" I think he's getting irritated, to bad.
"Because I like them."
"What does your shirt say?"
"Read it."
"Oxymoron: bubbly Goth aka Me" He read out loud.
"I find it funny, what about you."
"I don't."
"To bad."
I then began to eat my lunch and when I was done I went to the art room needing to draw something to blow off some steam.
"Hello what do you need Alice." The art teacher said.
"I need to blow off some steam me and James got in a fight over my outfit."
"Really, well I like, and even more since you do."
The art teacher was like my second mom. Since mine wasn't around a lot. She was always there when I needed someone to talk to. She allowed me to come into the art room anytime I needed. She has helped me when I was in a problem, when I don't know what to do. She treats me just like I was here on daughter., and for that I am eternally grateful.
I drew angels spreading there wings and flying. I drew 6 each going separate ways with looks of anger on there faces.
Then I drew the clearing, the clearing from my childhood. Then I added the angels, but they weren't angels they were just regular people. They were still angry, but they also looked kind of sad. Then I added I drew more detail. When I was done I realized I had drawn my dream of Jasper, Bella, Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, and I fighting in the clearing.
This is getting kind of creepy. This is the 2nd time. The odds of this ever happening are very slim. Since we've haven't spoken since the 6th grade. That's what's scary though because every time I have one those kinds of dreams or draw one of these pictures it always comes true. Always, as in it has never not come true, with the chances of this so slime I'm wondering if I'm breaking down. Losing touch. Maybe I'll have to be a retired physic before my non-existent career has taken off.
Just then the bell rang I stuffed the picture in my bag and went to my next class.
.…. THE MORNING WHEN ALICE CAME IN GOTH ….…..….…
Rosalie POV
Yesterday Bella stood up to Tanya and rocked out the cafeteria. Alice is planning some new style. I really could care less what.
I don't want to go to school today and listen to Tanya be mean to the other kids and then complain about something stupid. I already told Royce I was sick and my parents aren't home so I'll just fake illness today and go tomorrow. I think balances it out.
All of a sudden I hear a yell from downstairs.
"Rosalie, it's time to get up and ready for school." Oh crap I forgot about the maid.
"Okay." I quickly put on a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. I ran downstairs and grabbed a poptart. I grabbed my emergency hoodie so I wouldn't be cold and went into the garage to get my skateboard I haven't used since the 8th grade.
I got on the board and put on my hoodie. Then I boarded out of the garage.
On the way to school I played one of my favorite songs on my ipod, Sk8er Boi by Avirl Lavigne.
He was a boy and she was a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious
He was a punk and She did ballet
What more can I say
He wanted her, She'd never tell, but secretly she wanted him as well
But all of her friends stuck up their nose
And they had a problem with his baggy clothes
He was a Skater Boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
She had a pretty face
But her head was up in space
She needed to come back down to Earth
Five years from now she sits at home
Feeding the baby she's all alone
She turns on T.V and guess who she see's
Skater boy rocking up MTV!
She calls up her friends they already know
And they've all got tickets to see his show
She tags up along and
Stands in the crowd
Looks up at the man that she turned down
(2x)He was a skater boy
She said see ya later boy
He wasn't good enough for her
Now he's a super star
Slamming on his guitar
Showing the pretty face what he's worth
(Music)
Sorry girl but you missed out
Well tough luck that boy's mine now
We are more than just good friends
This is how the story ends
Too bad that you couldn't see
See the man that boy could be
There is more than meets the eye
I see the soul that is inside
He's just a boy and
I'm just a girl
Can I make it anymore obvious
We are in love
Haven't you heard
How we rock each others world
(Music)
(2x)I'm with the Skater Boy
I said see ya later boy
I'll be backstage after the show
I'll be at the studio
Singing the song we wrote
About the girl he use to know
By the time the song ended I was at school. I spotted Royce at the curb, talking to some of his friends.
"Hey Royce."
"Hello who are you."
"Not funny you know who I am."
"No I'm sorry I don't recognize you." As he said that, I took off the hood to my hoodie and took out my earphones. All of a sudden Royce recognized me. "Rosalie, honey, what's happened to you I thought you were sick."
"No I was trying to ditch school, but got caught by the maid."
"What's gotten into you today it's not even 8 o'clock yet and you've already tried to ditch school and you showed up to school looking like a boy on a dirt with wheels."
"Hey don't diss the board."
"Diss is that even a word."
"It is now, peace I'm going to my locker."
"Why were going to gym first period." (A/N: Anyone else have gym in the morning I do and it sucks I'm barely awake and I'm required to run laps, it is not my forte.)
"I need some place to drop my board."
"How about dropping the 'board' in my car?"
"Nah, my lockers fine."
I walked off and who run into but Tanya, just my flippin' luck.
"Rose what are you wearing."
"Clothes."
"Really I thought it was dirt sewn together."
"Really, and I still look hot, man I know your jealous."
"No, you look like a boy."
"No I don't or you wouldn't have called me Rose which is not my name."
"But Rosalie's to long."
"Then how about this proposition, you don't talk to me at all."
"Rose-" She started with her whinny voice.
"Shut up just shut up or I will slap you to mars and the only thing you'll see is the red rover and red dirt."
"And martians."
"SHUT UP! You are the most annoying girl in the world." Just then Edward walked by. "Edward control your psychopath you call a girlfriend." I then stomped off very irritated and put my board in my locker.
I went to P.E. and who do I run into none other than my boyfriend Royce.
"Dear, that was very unlady like."
"So?"
"You should apologize to Tanya."
"NO!"
"I don't like you when you're this way."
"To bad deal with it."
"I shouldn't have to deal with it, you are going to clean up your act right now." Now I was mad, how dare he talk to me like I'm a child.
"Your right Royce, you shouldn't have to deal with it so I'm breaking up with your sorry behind. Now leave before I do something I regret." I turned to walk away, but then Royce grabbed my arm.
"Let me go," I said through clenched teeth.
"No, you are mine and will always be mine." That did it I swung my fist around hit Royce right in the jaw, this caused him to let my arm go. I then skipped off to P.E. happy, and I didn't want to come to school today.
.…. CHEERLEADING PRACTICE ….…..….…
Still RPOV
I went out onto the field and went up to the girls.
"Okay girls were learning a new cheer today."
"What is it?" Tanya asked.
"Imma 'bout to tell you. It goes like this:
We are the Knights (X , STOMP, X, STOMP)
We are the best (X, STOMP, X, STOMP)
The other team (X, STOMP, X, STOMP)
Can take a rest, Yes!
Another one:
H (pause) O-T,
We're hot so hot,
The strong, proud, Packers,
Can't be stopped,
Our Spirit is rising, And can't be undone,
Watch out Knights XX we're number 1!"
"I don't like those cheers." Tanya whined.
"To bad." Tanya was about to reply when it started to rain, so I walked off the field to my locker grabbed my stuff and skate board.
On my way out Royce offered me a ride home. I rode my skate board
A/N: I'm sorry for being gone so long. I've had writers block, but that's gone now. I hoped you liked this chapter. I've worked hard on it. I got the cheers from .com and the lyrics from .
