Bella POV.

Chapter 6: Music Comp.

He was still holding my hand! And weird enough, I liked it. I've known him for a whole 5 minutes, but I trusted him with my life. I'm not sure what it was yet, but there was something different about him than then rest of the boys at my school.

The final bell rang, interrupting my thoughts of Edward.

"Alright, class. Let's get settled. First off, we have a new student: Edward Cullen." Everyone turned to look at him, like they had been doing this morning. All they eyes went back to the Mrs. Elliott when she started talking again. "Now the assignment was to practice a piece to perform on the piano." Her eyes scanned over the students, as she looked for the first performer. "Bella," she asked. "Would you like to go first?" I nodded, and releasing Edward's hand, walked over to one of the three pianos.

"Is this an original piece?" I nodded, and started to play. It was a song that didn't have any words yet, or even a name; maybe Edward would be my inspiration. (A/N: The song is "We Are Broken" by Paramore. Just imagine it with just the piano, and no lyrics.) I was just sitting at the piano in our music room last week when I came up with it. I'm not sure how, but it just came to me. All the songs I wrote did.

I finished the piece, and everyone started clapping. I loved performing in front of an audience, even it was just my class. I got up and walked to my seat, tripping on the way. Naturally, I blushed and sat down. Edward leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Good job, Bella. That was beautiful."

I blushed even more and mumbled my thanks.

Mrs. Elliott smiled. "Very good. Is there anyone else?"

Edward raised his hand. "I can play."

"You don't have to. After all, you haven't had any time to prepare."

"Oh, that's fine. I'll just play a favorite of mine."

Mrs. Elliott's eyebrows rose, the same as mine. "And what would that be?"

Edward just smiled as he sat down on the piano bench. "Claire de Lune by Debussy."

Did I hear that right? Claire de Lune? I wonder what else we have in common.

Edward was playing beautifully. It was amazing,and it ended to soon. He just smiled at me, then returned to his seat next to me. I was stunned. "Wow. Edward, that was... perfect." He smiled a crooked smile at me, and I nearly melted. I would have if it were possible. Even the teacher was amazed.

She beamed. "Excellent." Then she returned her attention to the rest of the class. "Now who will be going next?..."

For the next hour, I barely heard anyone else around me. We just looked into each others eyes until the class ended.

We gathered our books, and stopped by the doorway. "What class do you have next, Edward?"

"Um..." he pulled his schedule out of his back pocket. "Biology. With Mr. Banner."

I smiled at him, and grabbed his hand again. "Me too."

He smiled my favorite smile, and we were on our way.

A/N: Finally! This chapter was on my laptop unfinished for about two weeks. I finally got enough time to finish it. I hope you liked it, and if you did, review. If you didn't, review. If you'd like a cookie, check in your kitchen, then review, and tell me all about your hunt for that cookie. If you want to find out what happens in Biology, stay tuned for the next chapter! And review. You always need to review.

And Mrs. Elliott is a real teacher. She was my 6th grade homeroom, social studies, and language arts teacher. She is one of my top 3 favorite teachers.

Oh, and again, sorry for the shortness. My thought process is still a jumbled mess, and not sleeping for 24 hours (in counting!) at a time really messes with your brain.

Another thing, song recommendations would be amazing. I have a few ideas. Any genre is good, just tell me which band you want to see perform it, which instruments they would play, and if it's an acoustic, live, etc. Poll up on profile about what song the girls should perform for the competition.
