I would just like to start by apologizing to my fans. I do not know what happened to chapter 3! I don't know how long I'm going to be apologizing but I am really really really really really really... SORRY!
Some parts that you missed out was Bella's project is to take some pictures and and write a small essay of how they describe her personality. And people asked her if she needed help with her camera when she didn't need any and said 'Um, hello! I think I know how to use a camera!' And Edward's project is to compose his own piece of music and his teacher wants him to write a lullaby. The 3rd chapter ended with them about to play dodge ball so of course that is how they are going to start off. Bella could dance so obviously she is not that clumsy but that does not mean she can play dodge ball. I did want Bella to be able to play sports but I wanted a clumsy Bella that Emmett could laugh at so yeah. Sorry for being late too! I'll explain later!
More announcements at the bottom...

I wake up at twilight
It's gonna be alright
We don't even have to try
It's always a good time!
Whoa oh ah oh
Whoa it's always a good time

"What?!" I gasped. Dodge ball on my first day?! Are they crazy?
"I'm going to give you a number 1 or 2. Ones go on one side. Twos go on the other..." The coach started giving out numbers and I started freaking out. Yes I've played dodge ball before and I can dodge a ball. I sometimes use my dancing stamina for help. But I am horrible at throwing a ball. It always just falls short or it flies the other way. Sometimes I get caught off guard and end up getting hit in the face.
"...2, 1, 2 ,1-" she pointed to me"-2-" she pointed to Alice"-1-"Emmett"-2"-Jasper"-and 1." Edward was last. We all got up to go on the ones' side.
I was not looking forward to this game. I just know I'm going to embarrass myself.
I stood in-between Edward and Emmett as we waited for the whistle to blow. When it did, things were in motion. Edward and Emmett ran to get a ball while I just moved more back. There were mostly boys on my team so that was good. But yet my team had the most whiniest girls. They would just gossip and if a ball is thrown they scream. Even when it's not even close to them! It gets so annoying!
People were getting hit and the number of people were dropping on our side. I dodged a few good ones. Edward and Emmett were just shooting everywhere. It was like they were a gun firing at random people. I was watching Alice most of the time. She was one of the girls who shriek at a ball. It was kind of amusing in her case. Jasper was trying to protect her but even I saw the ball that was flying towards her head.
"Oh HELL NO!" Alice screamed. A few people stopped to look at her but ended up getting hit.
" Brandon! Get off the court!" The coach ordered. Alice pouted and went towards the bleachers. Their side had about 14 kids left. We only had about 10.
Everything was going fine. I was hardly paying attention to the people around be, I was focused on the balls. For some reason there were a lot I had to dodge from. Why are there so many balls? I looked up and found my answer.
Everyone on the other team were shooting directly at me. Being new sucks.
The numbers on my team were dropping rapidly, whereas theirs is slowly. We had 5 and they had 10. Edward and Emmett were still in the game. Jasper was also still in the game. I was the only girl left on the whole court. The balls were flying past me so close I could hear the whoosh of the ball. A guy on the other team was looking straight into my eyes. He had 2 balls in his hands. He threw one up and, instinctively, I looked up at it. It was too late when I realized I had been tricked. The second ball was already spiraling towards me. I couldn't move anywhere because it was too late, so I just turned around and blocked my head, and waited for impact.
Nothing happened.
Well something did happen... just not to me.
I heard the impact of the ball but didn't feel any pain. Confused, I turned to see what happened. At my feet, Edward was on the floor moaning. I noticed that his shoulder was red.
" Are you okay?" I asked, staring at him.
"Yeah, I'm good. Just hurt my shoulder by the ball." He replied. He got off the floor and stood up. Then he looked at me with concern. "Are you okay? Did the ball hit you?"
"No, I'm fine. Thanks by the way." I blushed. He shielded me with himself so that I didn't get hurt. That was a nice gesture.
"No prob-"
"Cullen! Get off the court!" The coach yelled. I had forgotten that we were still playing. Edward started walking to the bleachers.
I got mad. They are messing with the wrong girl! They think that since I'm new they could just mess me up? I don't think so! My fury raged on and I bent to grab a ball and analyzed my players. We only had 3 and they had 5 now. Piece of cake. I grasped the ball and flung it forward. It hit a guy in the face! More balls were being thrown my way and I kept moving away from them. Bam! Another one of my players got hit. Someone threw a ball at me and I caught it. They're out. It was just me and Emmett left and 3 other guys on their side. Emmett threw a ball to a small guy and got him out, but when he was distracted by it, he got out to. He got hit in the stomach. It looked like it hurt. It was just me and the guys.
" Are you sure you don't want to give up now? You might brake a nail!" One of the guys taunted. The rest of the class laughed. I just gritted my teeth and picked up 2 balls.
"Oh, I see how it is!" He laughed. Both of the guys had 2 balls in each of their hands. They brought one hand up ready to strike. Everything was in slow motion. Literally, I felt like I was in one of those cheesy movies. I felt like I was in The Matrix for crying out loud!
Both of them threw at the same time. One ball was going for my left, the other for my right. If I moved I would get hit. So when they got close to them I did a perfect flip over them. But as I was in mid-air they sent 2 more. When I got down I rolled over on the floor and shot. It hit one guy. The one that was taunting me sent another set of 2. One was aimed for my head while the other was aimed for my right leg and I did a fouette turn. I ducked my head so the ball wouldn't hit me. He looked at me with wide eyes. I just smirked and said, "It won't hurt much." I thrusted the ball forward and it hit him on the chest. Coach blew the whistle and my team cheered. Alice pulled me into a hug.
"That was amazing! How did you do that?" She asked and I panicked. No one was supposed to know about my dancing. Luckily Edward interrupted.
"That was way cool, Bella! Finally, he got a taste of his own medicine!" He smiled. I smiled back.
Maybe Forks wasn't so bad after all...
Surprisingly, I had a good first week.
After my first day the stares were being toned down. I was beginning to be old news. I would sit with the Cullen gang at lunch everyday. Alice was really ecstatic that day but I eventually started getting used to her hyper ness. She would practically text me every second. Jasper usually kept to himself. I was fine with it though. Emmett would tease me whenever he had the opportunity. He was starting to feel like a big brother to me. Rosalie was kind of hard to warm up to. She didn't like me at first but I could see she was getting there. Then there was Edward. He was friendly to me. I would try to get closer to him but it looked like he was always off his guard lately. I asked Alice about it and she said it wasn't normal behavior. I would be better off not snooping anyways.
Alice spent the night last night but left early because she had to do her shift at a coffee house she's working at. We had a good time. We stayed up watching movies but hardly ever watched them. We kept chatting about past memories and other random stuff like that. Charlie warmed up to Alice instantly. She could take me to Vegas to become a showgirl and he wouldn't mind. Okay that was an exaggeration. He would mind a smidge. Alice is my best friend now but... I still haven't told her about my dancing career.
I feel like a should but I'm just not ready. It has only been a week for crying out loud! I kind of felt guilty. She told me all of her secrets, even the personal ones that I rather not repeat. I haven't even danced since that little stunt on the first day. I have been choreographing a new routine in my head already. It was simple, I didn't want it to be a big thing. I realized it was easier for me to choreograph in my mind. My head had a lot of space for some reason.
I woke up groggy. I yawned and stretched. Wow. Was all I thought when I saw the huge mess me and Alice made last night. Popcorn, clothes, movies, cds, and other things were sprawled all across the room. I groaned and got up and brushed my teeth. I went downstairs and ate a quick granola bar and some milk. After that I got the vacuum and took it to my room. I grabbed my iPod and put it on shuffle. I started picking up things while humming. Eventually I got my belongings off the floor and turned on the vacuum. I was moving to the rythmn of the music. A song came on and I freezed. It was perfect! I vacuumed quickly and changed into my dancewear and put some clothes over it. I left a note for Charlie and grabbed my iPod and backpack that contained: my iPod dock, my dance shoes, 2 water bottles, and my keys. I went straight to the basement and found what I was looking for, my skateboard.
I ran out of the house and realized that I probably didn't remember how to ride. I put on my backpack and took it out for a test ride around the street. Surprisingly I remembered how to ride a skateboard.
I got on and rode off towards the dance studio.
Wow cliffy! Hopefully you liked the dodge ball scene. Sorry I kind of skipped a week of perfectly good writing material. Explanations...
Announcements:
Again I want to apologize about chapter 3. I didn't know that could happen and hopefully it won't happen again.
I'm sorry for being late too. Like I said I play sports and I gave you the times...but it just got worst. First, school just started for me and it's crazy. Second, I am trying out for volleyball but we practice every single day from the end of the school day to 6. That's 3 hours straight because I have girls athletics 8th period! Not only that but it's conditioning week so I'm sore all the time! By the time I get home I take a shower, eat do my homework and sleep. If I have some time I write. You see this little chapter I wrote? Yeah? It took me 4 days to write that! Even as I'm writing this part I'm babysitting! Everything is just frustrating so I might be cranky sometimes. Sorry!
Sorry it's also really short I just didn't have time and I'm exhausted. Now I'm going to list some songs that I heard while reading that helped:
-Look at me now
-Heart attack
-Lemme see
-Birthday cake
-Where have you been
-Goin in
-Climax
-No lie
-Good time
-Hello
Now some stories I've been reading on Fanfiction:
-Forever and always(Gallagher girls series)

-All the right moves(twilight)(finished it!)
-Online offline(twilight)
-and then a lot more Gallagher girl stories!
Books I'm currently reading:
-White magic

Now on to something more interesting...Kristen cheated on Rob!
I'm not mad at all. I seriously don't see the big deal of this. People are calling her a "trampire" like seriously? I don't know why they dated in the first place! I don't think co-stars should be dating each other. It just doesn't seem right. Tell me what you think of the situation.
Now tell me the truth... how many people actually listened to Breathe or Fantasy Girl? It would show a true fan if you did. I'm not getting after the people who didn't I would just think it's pretty cool if you actually did listen to them! There's this dance on youtube of this girl dancing to Fall For You and it's a really nice piece. It's called Fall For You – dance company by emilyannerosario. They also danced to Satellite Heart. Check those out if you want to!
Another inspiration for this story would be Dance Moms. I absolutely love that show! All the little dancers are soo cute! Oh! And if you don't know what a fouette turn is it's kind of like a pirouette that keeps spinning around.
Last but not least, review! It would give me some motivation to keep writing. That's kind of what I need right now so please review! I also decided that you could ask me any questions you want and I have to answer in the truth. For being late and messing up chapter 3. So go on and ask away!
I should probably get going now. It is 1:44 am so I'm going to let you go. Don't forget to review and ask questions!
Peace out,
TerryCherry :)
(P.S. and that thing the guy does with 2 balls to distract her, whenever we play dodgeball, sometimes a guy catches the eye of a person and throws the ball up in the air, the competitor looks up at the ball and the other guy throws their second ball to them. It's a really good trick!)
