So, what did you guys think of the last chapter?? I think it was one of my best chapters I've written. XD Well, here is the next chapter. I hope you guys like it! (: Also, when I'm describing her dancing whatever is underneath the lyrics is for the lyrics they are underneath. You understand?? LOLZ. Also, I'm not using any fancy dance terms because I simply forgot them and some I don't know.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight Saga or that ticket to the Luminesce concert I wanted to go to tonight at Jack Rabbits or the songs used.
While I was in my truck I took deep breaths to calm my nerves. What if the instructors were mean? What if they didn't like me? What if all the others laughed at me? "Oh come on Bella!" I told myself out loud. "There's nothing to be scared of. You're 17 not seven." This calmed me down a bit although I'm pretty sure that I looked like a lunatic talking to myself as other cars passed.
I reached the studio and cut off the engine. It was eerily quiet. I grabbed my dance clothes, shoes, and iPod before heading in.
I went to the bathroom straight away to change. I then realized that I didn't know what shoes to wear first so I just went barefoot through the hallway to the front desk.
"May I help you??" asked the gorgeous woman at the front desk. Her name tag read "ESME CULLEN- OWNER/INSTRUCTOR/DIRECTOR." This must be Dr. Cullen's wife. She was easily the most beautiful person I had ever seen in my life.
"Um…yes… My name is Isabella Swan. My mother signed me up for classes, according to my father." As soon as I said my name her eyes lit up as if she knew who I was. Great. Not only did the kids know who I was but the adults did too. There was something strange about her eyes-they were gold.
She rummaged through some papers and gave me a schedule. "Here you go dear. These are your classes you'll be taking. By the looks of it you're a very skilled dancer. It's so wonderful to have talent like yours here. At least one of my children is in a class with you. I'm sure you'll like all your classes. Have fun and have a great day." She finished off with a dazzling white smile. I liked her. She was very nice and motherly.
"Thank you." I said.
I read over my schedule.

Nothing-I figured you would want at least some free time.
It was a pretty intense class schedule but I could handle it. I had more classes in Phoenix where I also helped out with the younger children. I then put on my foot underwear (They're underwear for your feet and cover the ball of your foot) and headed into the classroom. The teacher was a young lady with bleach blonde hair and purple highlights. She looked to be about in her early 20's. I sat down, pulled my hair into a ponytail, and started to stretch. As I did, I looked around the class to see if I knew anyone. I saw Lauren Mallory from Biology, didn't really expect her to be here. I also saw that Jasper Hale boy. I didn't know he could dance. He seems really strong so maybe he's pretty good. His aunt works here so I guess it runs in the family. I didn't recognize anyone else though which was weird because Forks is really small. I guess people come all the way from around Washington to come here.
Just then our instructor got up from her chair after finishing getting ready. "Hello everyone! My name is Nicole. I know most of your other instructors will have you call the Miss, Ms., Mrs., Mr. or whatever. I'm gonna let you call me Nicole because frankly, I don't like titles. Ha ha. So welcome to Advanced Modern. I see you've already stretched so let's warm up and then everyone can show me what they got." She put on some techno music and we did some combinations. It was then time for us to "show what we've got." A few people went and they were pretty good but not the best. I think they were the ones that were too good for Intermediate but they didn't have an in-between class for those people. Lauren was next. She danced this really slutty dance to a Britney Spears song. Figures she's do something like that. I only met her today and I already knew what she was like. When she finished she came up to me and said "Beat that, bitch." I don't know where that came from but it was my turn and Nicole turned on a song I knew all too well seeing as it was one of my favourites- "The Preying Mantis" by Porcelain and the Tramps. I smiled at Nicole before I got in my spot.
I stood still in the middle until the words started:
I remember when
You told me I'm driving you crazy, crazy
I remember when
You used to call me your baby, baby
I walked around slowly getting a feel for the music adding in some head movements from time to time.
And I don't think I am who you want me to be
I'm sorry it took you this long just to see
That I'm rolling and rolling around in my mind
I went up on the balls of my feet and did some random arm movements that were sort of accusing. I then made my arms look like I was apologizing and shrugging. Then I rolled on the floor in a tuck position and got up to my feet with them in second position but parallel.
I hung you on a limb
Made you bend over
Backwards on a sin
Quit crying on my shoulder
There's nothing left to say
We're beautiful garbage
Throw it all away
Wash you off in the shower
I made my arm go out like I was gonna do the robot, leaned back and swung my arms around then actually bent all the way down. I then sprung up and made it seem like I was pushing someone off my shoulder. I slid down sideways to the floor and curled up into a ball. I popped up but slid down again in sort of a wind-mil type way. Then I lay down straight and started to curl up into a ball but chest rising first.
I didn't use the whole song because that would take too much time. Nicole let the song play until it said :
Actions speak louder than words
So don't tell me that you love me now, love me now
As the song said that I looked at Lauren. I got up and walked over to her. "How do you like that, slut?" She just stood there with her mouth open.
Jasper was the last one to dance. He did a combination to Black and Gold by Sam Sparro. He was really good. The song fit him like, it was made for him to dance to.
After modern was over I had hi-hop. In class we did basically the same thing. Nicole was our teacher again. In my class this time was Angela Webber- one of my friends I had met. Also in my class was Emmett Cullen-Jasper's cousin. He was really good at hip-hop. He did a combo to "I Can Transform You" by Chris Brown. Angela did one to Avril Lavigne and Lil' Mama's remix of Avril's song "Girlfriend." When it was my turn I did a combo to "Shawty Get Loose" by Lil Mama. It was a fun class and so high energy. By the end of it Angela and I were so tired we could barely walk. Emmett, on the other hand, looked like he could go for a mile run and not be tired. There's something strange about him. I don't know what it is but I will find out.
A/N: So, how did you guys like it?? It was sort of a filler chapter getting to know what the dancer Bella is like. I hope you liked the showdown between Lauren and Bella. Also, the character Nicole is sort of based off of my old dance teacher who taught Modern and Pointe (both of which classes I was in. Well, I was in pre-pointe and intro to modern) but using my middle name. So PLEASE REVIEW!!!!!! It's thundering at my house. I believe that the vamps are out playing baseball. (:
