Yay here's Ch. 4

Danny's POV

'Ow….' Said Sam as I helped her up from the floor. 'Are you ok Sam?' I asked as she dusted herself off.

'Yeah, thanks Danny.' she said as she got back in her place so we can go over our lines again.

'As long as everyone's okay.' said the Drama teacher as she checked on everyone. 'We're fine the only people who fell were Danny and Sam.' said one of the student's.

'Oh, well at least their okay.' said the teacher.

'Yeah...' said the students.

'Are you okay, Sam?' asked Danny ounce again.

'Yes, Danny a few bumps and bruises but I'm okay.' said Sam as she got back on her feet. 'Got loose?' I asked her as I held her hand to balance her as she put back on her boot. She nodded as she finished putting on the boot.

'Okay.' I told her as I gave her her backpack. 'Thanks…'she said as she blushed and took it from me.

'You're welcome.' I said as I put my hand behind my head nervously. I never noticed how beautiful Sam was. Her beautiful eyes as they looked directly at me. Man she's so beautiful …. Paulina is nothing compared to her.

I have been the biggest idiot in the history of Casper High. Here I am being like every teenage boy here… Paulina Sanchez hottest girl in school. But what I didn't get is that the one girl….. The one I'm supposed to be with… was in front of my face the whole time.

But I won't say anything. She doesn't love me…. I know it.

I just have to remind myself that… no one will because I'm me. How could anyone.

I'm me…. I'm just an average loser. With ghost powers. Nothing different.

Sam blushed again before grabbing her bag and heading out of the room.

I have to tell her. But maybe it's too soon ….I don't know. She's just so beautiful.

I don't even know how I'll tell her. This play is actually going to be pretty fun.

I'll make this the best play ever.

Sam's POV

Me? As Bella? Really? I just can't believe it. Danny as Edward that's believable. Tucker as Jacob… that's laughable. I justcan't believe…. this. This isn't me. I'm the girl who stands on the sides and watch the other girl be the main girl. Not this! This can't be real.

'Sam?' asked Danny as she came to check on me... His on and off stage. Wink Wink love interest. Which in reality only admitted to one of them. Why can't he accept our love I would… If only he'd understand we are in some boat. But no he wants to make things more complicated than they already are.

Typical Danny. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. 'What's with the eye rolling?' he asked as he came up to me. Crud he noticed. Curse me when I think to myself, I do actions corresponding to my personal thoughts. 'Sam?' Danny asked. 'Just can't believe I'm Bella I'm not that great.

' I said as I played with my feet nervously. 'Sam you're my Best friend you can do anything.' Danny said I couldn't help it…. I blushed. 'So when's rehearsals?' I asked as I composed myself, 'The Teacher wants us to rehearse now.' said Danny as he grabbed his backpack.

'Oh, okay then let's get to work.' I said as I followed close behind Danny ready to rehearse.

Everyone got into their places ready for another round. Paulina seemed upset. But why? I mean I understand the wanting the lead and all but that would mean her love interest would be Danny. I doubt she would want that… at least. As we started going over our lines Mr. Lancer came into the room and slowly walked around observing everyone as they rehearsed.

Wonder why? They all seemed like Ducks out of water. Danny and I were going over the scene ounce more.

So we'll know for sure that we're ready. 'Okay class time for rehearsal.' she said as she wrote down a few things on her clipboard. 'Now let's do Bella and Edwards's scene right after Edward and Bella's supposed first encounter. You know... Pretend you didn't fall and you stormed out' she said as she got comfortable again.

Danny and I headed onto the stage and waited for further instructions. As did everyone else who was in the next upcoming scene. An Asian boy besides Quan and some kid from Algebra Peter uh….something waited back stage. 'Okay class…. ready…. and…. action.' she said as the lights dimmed.

The teacher wanted to test out the lighting seems to work well. Everyone that was suppose, to be on stage beforehand were there as instructed… me and a few others entered briefly after with Danny already in place. 'Action.' she repeated. Danny heads off the stage and gets ready for the next scene. The new scene starts with Edward, Danny wanting to change classes.' There has to be something open, Physics? Biochem?' he asked. The student playing the front desk woman says. 'No, every class is full.' she turns to look at me. 'Just a moment dear. .' she said as

She turned to look back at Danny. 'I'm afraid you'll have to stay in Biology.' she says apologetically. 'Fine. Just… I'll just have to endure it.' Danny says as he storms out passed me. I stutter and just leave the office. 'Cut!' she yells. 'Now next scene... the Bella decides to confront Edward Action.' I headed to the next scene book in one hand me leaning on a car prop. 'Begin Monologue.' 'I planned to confront him and demand to know what his problem was.' I said as I looked around the other kids playing the Cullen's pretending to arrive. 'But he never showed.' A pencils was thrown at my head. 'Bella!' yelled a boy as he threw a pencil at my head. He gestured for me to come to his car with the rest of the guys... I motioned to the book in my hand. I had my headphones in one ear. Signaling me being busy, they just went back to talking. 'And the next day another no show...' I said as I entered the supposed classroom I sat at the Caf table with the others I thought. 'More days passed things were getting a little strange. Shortly after we decided to start the next scene … I pretended to be coming down the front steps but then well… I slipped. The boy playing Charlie helped me up. 'You alright?' he asked. Yeah... Ice doesn't really help the uncoordinated.' I said as I fixed my backpack before getting in the prop truck. 'Yeah. That's why I had some new tires put on the truck. Old ones were getting pretty bald. Well I'll probably be late for dinner I have to head down to Mason County.' he said as he put his hands in his pockets. 'Security guard at the Grisham Mill got killed by some kind of animal.' I looked at him confused. 'An animal?' You're not in Phoenix anymore, Bells. Anyway I figured I'd lend a hand.' You be careful.' I say. 'Always am.' he says. 'And thanks for the tires.' 'Yeah.' I quickly get in the unfinished prop truck and move it off the stage, the other student following shortly after.

'Queue, the thunder!' she said. The kids pretended to enter a classroom, and in deep conversations. Quan or uh Eric

'Prom committee is a chick thing. But I gotta cover it for the paper anyway, and they need a guy to help choose the music, so I need your playlist. Hey, listen, I was wondering, did you have a date to…' He tried to say only to be interrupted by Mike Newton. A.K.A Dash Baxter. 'What's up, Arizona? Huh? How you likin the rain girl?' The conversation seemed to drown on because something else seemed to spike my… Bella's interest. I quickly headed to the staged chairs soon to be Lab tables… strait towards... Danny…. No Edward. I quickly sat down and looked intently into Danny's eyes, as he began our scene.

'Hello…. I'm sorry, I didn't get to introduce myself last week. I'm Edward Cullen. You're Bella?' I stared at him clearly focused. 'Yes.' I said as I continued to stare as the teacher mentioned how the fake teacher will continue the lesson as Edward, Danny, and Bella, Sam. Continue to stare at each other intently. Shortly followed by Bella looking away as Edward continues to stare.

'Ladies first.' Danny said as he motioned the microscope towards Sam. Sam stutters. 'You were gone.' She said as she stared at him once again, holding the microscope in her palm. 'Yeah…' he began. 'Um… I was out of town for a couple of day's personal reasons.' I slowly slid the scope towards him while analyzing the cell. 'Prophase.' I said as I tried to cover myself for warmth. Danny hesitated before asking.

'Do you mind if I look?' he asked gesturing to the microscope. I quickly nodded no. He grabbed the scope and quickly examined it. 'It's prophase.' He repeated. I nodded. 'Like I said.' Danny looked at his hands as if he was studying them. 'So are you enjoying the rain?' he asked. I anxiously laughed shocked by his question. 'What?' he asked concern in him as if wondering seriously, he was really into this.

'You're asking me about the weather?' I ask nervously. 'There really good.' said the Director's… Teacher's assistant. 'I know that's why I chose them.' said the Teacher A.K.A Director. Back to the scene… 'Yeah… I…. I guess I am.' he said not bothering to leave my gaze. 'Well, I don't really like the rain. Any cold…' I breathe deeply. 'Wet thing, I don't really…' I shudder. Danny gawks as he views the assignment.

Once more. Before grabbing another slot. 'What?' I asked. 'Nothing.' he states not making eye contact. He laughs nervously. 'It's anaphase.' he says as he turns to write it down.

'Mind if I check?' I ask, 'sure,' he says still not looking. I carefully viewed the item in the microscope. 'Anaphase.' I confirm skeptically. 'Like I said.' he says coping me. Before turning to write.

I bite my lip.

'If you hate the cold and the rain so much why'd you move to the wettest place in the continental U.S?' he asked as he looked at me again. I exhale sharply. 'It's complicated.' I say. 'I'm sure I can keep up.' He says. 'Uh… my mom remarried…. and.' I shrug. 'So you don't like the guy, or… 'He shrugs looking deep into me, as if he were trying to read my mind. 'No, that's not… Phil's really nice.' I shrug. His eyes follow me as if he's trying to know my whole life in a split second. I study him as he moves the microscope towards him. Before checking it. 'Its metaphase, you want to check it?' he says. I couldn't stop staring. I shake my head. 'I believe you.' I say quickly. 'Cut!' yells the teacher.

'Perfect… Absolutely perfect.' she says. I blush as Danny puts his hand behind his head nervously. 'Thanks…' we say. I can't believe this is happening. Wow!

I got off the stage shortly followed by Danny, a few moments after. I headed to the Teacher to ask her… why? I quickly went to the Teacher who was talking to Paulina… apparently she was shocked by her character as well. 'But!' she doesn't even have many limes... She's not even important'! Yelled Paulina at the teacher. 'Why couldn't I have gotten the lead?!' she yells. I laugh. She turns quickly in my direction. 'What's so funny?' she asks clearly upset … and angry. I try to contain my laughter. 'Well for one…. you're not that great to play such a powering role, and two…. the second lead is Danny and I doubt you would want to have such romantically intimate scenes, also not to mention the chemistry of the actors portraying such characters and the dynamics of such story telling that us as Actor's… well some of us… is telling.' I said as the class stared…. Danny especially. Wait… did he just hear me? What did I say? Oh God, I said Danny and I had chemistry and Intimate moments! Oh God! I blushed…. I'm as red as a tomato. I mean me and Danny playing to star crossed in love characters! Of course I'm nervous I mean I do like him… Like like like love him... I mean Oh God forget I said anything!

'Wow you know your tuff.' said the Teacher. 'See I knew casting you as the lead was the perfect choice.' she said happily. 'Really? I've been wondering why you did so in the first place.' I said as I played with my feet.

'I knew you knew your stuff and that you would put all your heart in your acting and be the best Bella you can be.' she said. I was stunned. This teacher… had faith.. In me? Me! I just couldn't believe this. 'What about me? Why did you cast me... as Edward?' Danny asked as he came up to the Teacher. 'Danny I know deep down inside you is a hero or a very confident young man… and Edward will help you overcome fears and open those doors you've been pushing shut.' she said. 'Oh.' Danny was in shock, she seemed to read Danny like a book. Maybe she's a mind reader. Who knows? 'Wow, thanks.' said Danny as he blushed slightly. 'Also to open you up more… your so shy.' she said.

Oh…' Danny said. 'Besides the both of you are doing so well. It was as if you were born to play these characters.' she said clearly amazed. 'Now head home study and be back for rehearsals tomorrow for 7th period and after school.' she said as she dismissed the class. Danny, Tucker and I headed home to practice this is pretty fun and I'm really excited about it. Yes... I'm aware I'm a Goth. Yeah whatever you say something about it. I'll grab your nose! I'm serious... I headed home to do my homework and work on my lines.

Danny's POV

After hours of Homework. I was finally able to go over my lines. Jazz was at the Library so I had to walk home. I decided to take a quick shower and change. After that I headed to the kitchen to work on my lines. I got a bottle of water out of the fridge, and set my lines on the table along with my homework which I'm gonna look over later. Maybe having Sam and Tucker here would make the lines work more… oh well. 'I'm Edward Cullen your Bella?' I asked to no one in particular. I pretended to get an answer. After a few hours Mom, Dad and Jazz got home. Me being completely unaware of their return.. They were completely silent as they brought the groceries and Lab equipment in.

As I was acting out my scene. They stood still hearing every word as I said them out loud every word coming out as if this foreign language was as normal to me, as this haunted town. 'Danny that was wonderful.' said Mom I was so shocked by the outburst I fell off my chair.
