Chapter 4

BPOV

During the rest of the week I didn't really see Edward. Part of me really didn't want to. The last time I saw him was embarrassing enough, I didn't need to embarrass myself further. Although I probably will embarrass myself on Saturday night, without any help from anyone but myself. Saturday was our welcome back dance, it was a semi formal, so girls went all out with cute dresses. The dance was only for the high schoolers. I couldn't believe that they always had it so soon but, what can I do? I knew Alice was going to put me into heels, despite my constant arguments. Saturday consisted of Alice and Rosalie playing Bella Barbie. We had shopped earlier for dresses, but I wasn't allowed to see anyone's dress. I have no idea why I couldn't even see their dresses, but Alice will be Alice. We shopped for dresses and shoes. Alice and Rosalie paid for everything. I was not a happy camper. I didn't even look at the dress they bought for me when I changed into it. I didn't care; it wasn't like anyone would want to dance with me. Everyone at school knew I was shy and didn't date.

"Sit still Bella!" said Alice as she tried to do my makeup. Rose was doing my hair and I was getting anxious. I didn't understand why they tried to make me look good. No one would want to see me like this. Well, they might only because it might look better than I normally do; a change in look for a night.

"I just don't think that there's anything to work with." Alice gave me a look. She sighed, put the mascara brush back into the bottle and looked up to Rose. Next I knew they had swung me around in the swivel computer chair to the mirror.

"Nothing to work with, huh?" Rose said to me as I took in what I was seeing.

There was a girl in the mirror that I didn't recognize, or at least I think I didn't. She was wearing a dark blue spaghetti strap dress. It was a deep v neck cut and hit about 5 inches above her knees. Her hair had a side part and had soft, loose curls intertwining themselves a little. Her makeup was perfect. She was all around beautiful. The blue of the dress complimented her pale skin nicely. It was then that I looked straight into this girl's eyes and realized I was staring at my reflection.

"… o-okay. So maybe there was… a little somethin', somethin' to work with" I said with a little smirk on my face.

"A little?... a little?" Alice said with a little giggle and hit me playfully on the shoulder. They left me to go get dressed and ready themselves. I looked down to see the shoes I was wearing. They

were silver and very strappy. They were also very sparkly. I liked that part. It was the only part I liked. And they were heels. Yes, heels. A deathtrap. I knew I would have to wear them no matter what I said to Alice or Rose. I had to admit. They were cute.

When Alice and Rosalie came out I was completely stunned. Alice had her hair spikey as usual; there wasn't much she could do with it. She had an olive green dress on that had silver and gold glitter circles all over it. It had a green bow right under her bust and the straps crossed in the back. Her shoes were silver, peep-toe and sparkly like mine. It fell about halfway down her thigh. She looked absolutely stunning.

Rosalie was wearing a red halter dress. Under the bust it had a silver rhinestone design and the halter straps were silver. It was a baby-doll style dress and fell around the same place mine did. Her hair was mostly straightened with her bangs swept to the left. She had random pieces of hair curled and it complimented her face shape. Her shoes were silver and had a delicate design on the front of it. They were from Guess. I felt so plain next to them even though I've never felt more beautiful in my life. We took some pictures… well a lot of pictures. But hey, we're girls.

About 15 minutes later we were walking to the gym for the dance. We walked in to see that the decorating committee outdid itself this year. The gym was covered in blue and yellow streamers; our school colors. The drink table had a blue table cloth on it and yellow cups. There was even some blue and yellow confetti on the floor to decorate the floor.

We stood by the drink table for a little while until more people started dancing. I looked around the room to see who showed up. Most people came to this, but there were a lot of new students this year and I wasn't sure if they were going to come. Secretly, I was hoping that Edward would come, but I knew it was pointless. Even if he was here, he probably forgot about the incident Monday and wouldn't ask me to dance. I would say no even if he did, but the thought that he wanted to dance with me would be really nice.

"Ew, look at Mike, he's dancing with that slut, Jessica Stanley" said Rose. I looked to where she was pointing. Two of the few people on the floor were indeed, Mike and Jessica. Jessica had a very short and very low cut black dress on. Mike was mismatched as usual and they were dancing together in a very disgusting way. Mike thought he was being seductive and Jessica thought she was being hot. Neither of them were succeeding in the slightest. I almost gagged at the sight.

We talked for a while before I noticed someone in the crowd. I smiled and excused myself from our little group to go talk to him. Now was my chance to introduce him to Rose and Alice. They didn't know it, but they were dying to meet him. And I was dying to see him again. I made my way over to the other side of the dance floor and over to him.

"Emmett!" I called to the massive guy standing 5 feet in front of me. He turned his head and smiled at me.

"Bella! It's nice to see you again!" he said as I approached him. He was sitting with a good-looking blonde, he wasn't my type though, not that I really had one. "This is one of my

roommates, Jasper Whitlock" Jasper Whitlock, so this was the cutie Alice was talking about. I can totally see what she's talking about. He's totally her type. I thought.

"Nice to meet you Jasper." I said politely, while squealing internally.

"Likewise" he said with a smile.

"Do you two wanna come over and meet my roommates? They would totally love you." I asked them, praying they would say yes.

"Definitely! Lead the way Bellarina!" Emmett said. I gave him a skeptical look for the name he just called me. He just laughed and I started walking back to where Rosalie and Alice were. They didn't even notice me approaching them with two good looking guys for them.

"Alice, Rose!" I called. They looked over at me and their mouths dropped. Alice's eyes widened as she saw who was behind me. It was kind of amusing watching them squirm.

"These are Emmett and Jasper. Guys, these are my roommates, Alice Brandon and Rosalie Hale." I said. Emmett made his way over to Rosalie and introduced himself.

"I'm Emmett McCarty. I don't believe I've seen you around. I know I couldn't have missed someone as beautiful as you." Wow, corny much? Rose has probably heard that before, or something like it.

"Clever. I've only heard that about 20 times before. You're real original" said Rosalie. From an outsider's point of view, it would look like Rosalie wasn't interested in the slightest. But I knew better, Rose clearly was interested in Emmett, just like I had predicted.

"Wanna dance?" Emmett asked Rosalie.

"Sure" They walked off and disappeared into the crowd.

Jasper and Alice hadn't started talking yet, which surprised me.

"So, I take it you two haven't seen each other around school at all" I tried to start them talking.

"Actually" Both Jasper and Alice said at the same time. Alice smiled and looked down.

"We're in the same art class on Monday's" Jasper finished. Alice looked up and giggled.

"Oh, I see. Alice, I'm surprised you didn't mention Jasper" I said to Alice to try and get her to talk. Geeze, she wasn't kidding when she said he could calm her down.

"Well, I-I just had a-a lot going on that day. And I didn't want to seem stalkerish by talking to my friends about a guy I didn't really know" Alice said blushing. Hehe. I got Alice to blush. Though I didn't mean to. Jasper just smiled. A slower song came on and the mood changed.

"Ummm… Alice?" Jasper asked.

"Yes?"

"May I have this dance?" He asked all gentlemanly. Alice nodded quickly and he took her hand and disappeared into the crowd. And just like that, I was alone. I didn't really mind much but it was kind of awkward. I mean I was all dressed up and I was standing there. Alone.

I sighed as I walked out of the gym and sat down on the bench. I looked up at the sky. There were so many stars out there. One of the things I loved about my school was that even though it was in New York City, you could always see the stars. I was worried about that when I came here. One of my favorite things to do back home was star gaze. I wanted to be able to do that whenever I wanted.

I started to pick out constellations and try and find some of my favorite stars and planets. I didn't know how long I had been sitting on the bench just looking up at the stars. It was so peaceful. I remembered when my mother and I would do this when we couldn't fall asleep or on a particularly hot night. She was the one who taught me all the constellations and how to know which ones were planets. My grandmother used to do this with her and I was glad she passed down the knowledge. I wished I could have lain down on the grass but I had no idea how much this dress cost and I didn't want to ruin it since Alice and Rosalie paid for it. I knew that in the morning I would have a sore neck from sitting like this for so long but I didn't care.

"Hey" a voice came from behind. I turned around to see who was talking to me. Standing a lot closer to me than I thought, was a bronze haired boy. Oh no.

"Hi" I said quietly. I was so nervous. My heart was beating at the speed of light, he could probably hear it! How embarrassing!

"It's Bella right?" he said with a crooked smile. I nodded quickly because I didn't trust my voice right now.

"You don't remember me do you?" was that disappointment I heard? No, it couldn't be. "Well that's embarrassing. Great." He said quietly not meaning for me to hear.

"N-no. I-I remember y-you" I stuttered. Stupid voice! Why must you betray me so? Let's try this again. "It's E-Edward… right?" Well, it was a little better.

"Yeah," he sounded relieved. We stayed in silence for a moment or two as my heart took it into overdrive. I was sure he could hear it now. Why was he talking to me? Shouldn't he be inside at the dance? I was sure that some girl would ask him to dance or he would ask someone to dance. He was too good looking for that not to happen.

"So… why aren't you inside at the dance? You look dressed for a d-dance" he said. He stuttered? Weird.

"Stargazing." I said quietly. He nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, they're amazing aren't they? You wouldn't expect to see them in the city, but there you are"

I nodded. My voice had already failed me enough for one night. I turned around as I heard the doors to the gym open again. Alice and Rosalie came out. They didn't even notice Edward standing in the shadow.

"Bella! They're playing our song next! We need to get in there and get this party started!!" Alice said enthusiastically as she pulled me off the bench.

"But Alice I-?"

"No buts! We are not letting your dress go to waste!" answered Rose as they dragged me inside. I felt better being in the presence of my friends but I felt kind of bad for leaving Edward like that. All my worries left my mind as I walked into the gym and heard the beginning of our song.

I felt comfortable easily as we started dancing together and singing to each other.

Ohhh yeah thats her the big dog tryin to get her little kitty to purr.
Ex-man lookin at me like i'm Lucifer, Cause he knows I will deal with his case yes SIR!
if I was the last man I earth I would only take that girl end of search.
She give a new definition to the word Curve, got chicks in the strip club envyin her.
Body's like weapon, a mass irruptions, see the glad on that phat obstruction, tongue game give a new type of seduction. (Kardinal yelling Im trying to give that girl something... CHA!)

I rapped the first verse to Rosalie and Alice in turn sang the chorus to her

She's so DANGEROUS,
That girl is so DANGEROUS,
That girl is a bad girl, yeah

Then Rose rapped the second verse to Alice. This was a cycle we had practiced multiple times.

Ohh...Bad to the bone, everything locked like a two three zone
I wanted to make my black snake moan, talk a little bit and take that home
She bad and she know the deal, Thats what I can't hide when she want to conceal
I mean megan good and halle berry put together ain't close to the JUBEE i see
No no..no disrespect but this gyal a pon another level...cut the check..uhhh
Tell king, max stop the press...say kid can I get a witness

I then sang the chorus to Alice while we danced and laughed along.

Girl I can't notice but to, notice you, noticing me, from across the room I can see it and can't stop myself from looking and noticing you, noticing me,
Watch out I've seen her type before
That girl is so DANGEROUS,
That girl is so DANGEROUS,
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so DANGEROUS,

That girl is a bad girl, yeah
I see you got that fire by the way that you walkinn walkin
from left to right i watched her go down
girl i just want it right now dont wanna do no talkinn talkin
shortys so right i need to slow down

Now it was my turn to be sung to. I couldn't believe I was having this much fun at a dance. Normally this only happened at our private dance parties in the dorm.

Figure 8..good body shape
When she on the dance floor, gyal dem Irrate
When she do her thing man can't walk straight
That biscuit soak up everyTING in my plate
Bad heels like Jessica Pete
im tryna give homegirl sex and the city-tity
itty bitty waistline moves with the baseline

Alice took her turn and rapped to me, then Rose took her turn to sing the chorus to me

Girl I can't notice but to, notice you, noticing me, from across the room I can see it and can't stop myself from looking and noticing you, noticing me,
Watch out I've seen her type before

That girl is so DANGEROUS,
That girl is so DANGEROUS,
That girl is a bad girl, I've seen her type before
She's so DANGEROUS,
That girl is so DANGEROUS,
That girl is a bad girl, yeah

The song started to come to an end and we started cracking up. That was our favorite song in the world and we all knew it by heart. As the song ended applause erupted. We turned around to see a circle around us watching our performance. I felt my face grow hot. I looked at Rose and Alice and they were laughing and bowing. I decided that I was already embarrassed so why not. I joined them and started bowing. The next song came on and everyone started dancing again. We came out of the crowd and went to get drinks.

"Damn! You girls can dance!" Emmett boomed at us as he walked our way.

"And rap" Jasper added as he followed Emmett.

"Thank you thank you! We will be here till midnight!" Alice said while laughing. We all joined her in laughter. It was so easy to be myself around Emmett and Jasper I wasn't quite sure why. Maybe it was because they were so much like Alice and Rosalie.

The dance started to die down and I found myself wondering where Edward had gone off to. I didn't see him in the dance after our performance. I started to feel bad again for leaving him like that. I was heading out of the dance with Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, and Jasper, going back to their dorm to hang out for a while, when their conversation caught my attention.

"So you said that you guys have another roommate?" asked Rosalie.

"Yep, I didn't see him much at the dance though. He came with us then disappeared." Emmett shrugged.

"Yeah, I wonder where he went off to" said Jasper.

"Well, what's his name?" asked Alice as Jasper started to open the door to their dorm.

I stopped in my tracks in the doorway as I saw the boy sitting in their dorm. He had his back to us, but I knew that hair from anywhere.

"Edward"

Sorry! Cliffe right there. But, it's almost 12:30 in the morning and I want to go to bed because I have to get up at 9 tomorrow. I know that's not that early but it is when you've been getting up at 12 everyday the whole summer. Anyway, all the dresses except for

Jessica's are on my profile along with hair and shoes. I might do the next chapter or at least part of it in Edward's point of view during the dance and up to the cliffe there but I'm not sure. Feel free to leave your opinions on that and the rest of the chapter by clicking that little review button!
