Hey guys! So I'm excited! Why? Because my birthday is coming up in 14 days! I can't wait!

Anyway, I tried to make this one longer because I'm late a week, again. But the story is getting closer to the climax. What's coming up in the story is drama, romance, adventure, and all these other great stuff! I also want to give a shout out to my friend, Brianna, who is reading my story! Also, I wrote a one-shot but it's not Twilight, it's Gallagher Girls. But you wouldn't need to read the books to understand the story. It's a poem fic to the poem Autobiography in Five Small Chapters by Portia Nelson. I suggest you read it! It's not perfect yet I have to adjust it a little but other than that it's great! I also tried to add more Bella and Edward time so you can see where their friendship is growing.

More at the bottom!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, Evermore, or Gallagher Girls characters! Even though most of them are cute as a button like me!


As long as you love me
We could be starving
We could be homeless
We could be broke
As long as you love me
I'll be your platinum
I'll your silver
I'll be your gold
As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me love me
As long as you lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-lo-love me love me

BPOV

I didn't know if I should be excited or terrified of Saturday.

I thought about it all day on Sunday. I thought about what kind of dance I would like to do, what songs I would like to dance to, what kind of chorography, what kind of outfits, and, most importantly, what kind of masks.

The mask Sabine showed me was black with black sequins bordering all the edges of the mask. It was simple, yet beautiful. I went to a store and looked at the masks. There was a whole variety of them! Different colors, different styles, different textures, different sizes, different everything! Some had sequins or glitter or rhinestones and sometimes even string. They had masks for everything. Masquerades, Halloween costumes, creepy burglar ones, clown, princess... it was just crazy. I saw a few cool ones like one with turquoise background and silver glitter. I wasn't buying anything, just looking. By the end of Sunday I was relaxed and prepared. I knew what I wanted. But that night it hit me.

Right when I laid down to go to bed I realized I was going to have to dance... in front of people! I completely freaked out. I was falling into hysterics. I wouldn't be able to do it. This was crazy! I haven't danced in front of anyone for 12 years for crying out loud! I can't risk it. It's too much. I barely got any sleep last night.

So now I'm here dosing off at the lunch table. And when I'm sleepy, I'm grumpy. No one wants to see a grumpy Bella.

"Bella, are you ok?" Alice asked. She burst my sleeping bubble.

"Um, yeah. I'm fine... I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night." I put my head on the table and closed my eyes.

"Why?" Alice insisted.

"I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night ok?" I snapped. I regretted it instantly when I looked up to see Alice's bright face morph into hurt. Why am I so stupid?

"Oh sorry. I didn't mean to pry..." Alice mumbled looking down. Everyone was looking at me with curiosity. I've never been mean before. I sighed and stood up from the table.

"I'm gonna go to the... I... I'm just gonna go..." I turned and left the cafeteria. I felt eyes watching me as I stepped out. I wasn't going home, Charlie would get mad. I just started walking around campus when I found a little garden area. I guess used for experiments or something. I put in my headphones and played some music. It didn't help. Every time I tried changing a song I would think of a routine I could use it for. I turned off my iPod and put it back in my backpack. I saw that I still had the camera from photography. I took it out and decided to take some pictures. When I was about to take a shot of a sunflower I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to be met with a pair of green eyes.

"Hey" Edward said. "You looked upset in there and I wanted to see if you're ok."

"Oh, yeah, I'm fine. It's just when I'm tired I get grumpy and so..." I trailed off looking at the ground.

"Is it anything you want to talk about?" He motioned to the bench. We sat down and my eyes stayed glued to the ground. He saw my hesitation." You don't have to if you don't want to..."

"Um..." I still wasn't ready to tell anyone. I know I could trust him but... It still feels weird. Like I shouldn't tell them since I didn't tell my friends back in Arizona. So I lied. "It's nothing really. I just couldn't sleep last night."

He seemed convinced enough. "Oh, ok. But Bella... remember, you could tell me anything." He looked straight into my eyes. I could see that he wasn't lying. I was considering telling him. Right then and there, but the bell rang then and I looked at him.

"I know."

**Next Day**

I was starting to feel better. I got a good night's sleep and I was energized for today.

When I got to the school the first person I saw was Angela Weber. She smiled at me when I got out of my car.

"Hi, Bella." Angela said.

"Hey, Ang. What's up?" I asked as I locked the car.

"Do you know what you're gonna do for the Personality Project for Photography?" She asked. I totally forgot she was in the same class with me. Some friend I am.

"Oh, uh... I don't know yet. It's kind of a hard project, right?" I replied. She was probably asking for inspiration.

"Yeah, well I'll see you around."

"Ok, bye." She walked off and I headed into the building. I opened my locker to get my textbooks. When I closed my locker there stood tiny little Alice with a small smile on her face. Small enough to scare the crap out of me.

"Jeezus, Alice!" My heart was beating fast and I jumped.

"Sorry... for scaring you... for making you uncomfortable yesterday..." Alice was looking at the ground with a sad expression. I never meant to make her sad.

"No, Alice, I'm sorry. I should have never snapped at you. I was just in a grumpy mood." I apologized.

She looked at me hesitantly. "Friends?"

I laughed. "Of course!" We hugged laughing.

"Ok, so how about a sleepover at my house on Saturday? We could hang out all day!" She suggested.

"Um, sorry Alice. I can't, busy Saturday." Her face fell with disappointment, but then she was smiling again. "Ok, maybe another time!" The bell rang then and we headed to our first period class.

Did I ever tell you that school is boring? Well it is! I've already learned most of this stuff back in Arizona. I've already read the book we're reading in English, Calculus is the easiest for me, and I already know how to speak Spanish. So everything is uninteresting to me. I was so glad when the bell rang, indicating it was lunchtime. I practically sprinted to the cafeteria. I met Alice at the door and went in line for our food. Our whole possy was already sitting at the table when we arrived. I sat in between Alice and Edward. I was enjoying myself, you know, talking and laughing with my friends. I was smiling the entire time.

"Hey, Bella, what's your favorite book?" Edward asked me. He nodded to the book in my hand. "It looks like you like to read." No one was paying attention us. And, if I heard correctly, they were into a deep discussion about if Santa Clause is real. And, yes, Emmett was the only one on the Pro side of this topic.

"My favorite book? Um, probably Wuthering Heights. I'm a fan of the classics." I answered nonchalantly.

"Oh, cool." He smiled.

"You?" I asked.

"I'm not really into books but I do like some of the classics, too." He replied. "Your favorite band?"

"Are we playing 20 questions or something?" I laughed.

"That's exactly what we're doing." Edward laughed, too.

"Well I like a lot. Paramore, Muse, Linkin Park, Florence + The Machine, Hinder, Pink Floyd, Train, All-American Rejects... oh and Neon Trees." I blurted out. For some reason it was easy to talk to Edward. "You?"

"The same, of course adding Metallica. Color?"

"Green."

"Brown."

This struck me odd. "Brown?"

"Yeah, it reminds me of chocolate." He smiled a crooked grin.

"Oh, cool! Um... favorite food?"

"Chocolate chip pancakes!"

"How did I know it involved chocolate?" We started laughing. "Um... I like mushroom ravioli. And as for breakfast, eggs..." I trailed off because I saw something I didn't expect to see. I saw her. Sabine. She was standing at the door of the cafeteria scanning the students. When she found me she waved me over. People were looking at her. Her shining blonde hair cascaded down her back. I looked back at Edward and apologized.

"Um, I have to go. I'll see in Biology." I told him quickly and rushed past him, not bothering to hear his reply. She smiled when I approached her.

"Hello, Isabella." She was going to say more but I cut her off.

"Not here." She nodded and followed me out the doors to the front of the school. We stopped and I turned to her. "What do you want?" I didn't say it rudely. It was an honest question.

"I've just come to say that in order to complete the paperwork I must have a photo of you." She said in her creamy British accent. I freaked out again.

"A photo?! No one is supposed to know who I am! That was the deal!" She waited patiently for my outburst to finish before talking.

"No one will know it's you." I relaxed a little.

"How?" At first she didn't say anything. Then she held up her left hand. In it was the black mask she showed me.

"Oh, sorry." I blushed. I had yelled at her for nothing. Hey, even brunettes have their blonde moments.

She smiled. "Come to the studio after school today so we could get started. All you need are your shoes, your iPod, and your ideas."

"I thought it wasn't until Saturday?" I asked. I cancelled a sleepover for this!

"No need to waste all this time for papers. Tootles, Isabella." And then she walked off in her high heels, leaving me speechless.


Chapter 7! Did you like it?

Do you have any song suggestions? Do you have any questions? Any mask ideas? Any characters? Any critisism? Let me know! I love getting reviews! It always makes me happy!

Now to spice things up a little bit, drum roll please...no like seriously give me a drumroll... close enough, ALICE'S POINT OF VIEW FOR WHAT JUST HAPPENED!

APOV

"Of course he's real, Ali! How else would I get presents from him when every year they say From:Santa?" Emmett is such a child. The only reason I'm talking to him right now is to give Edward and Bella privacy. They seem to be hitting it off. I think she's good for him. Edward's always been the loner.

"Whatever you say Emmett." I rolled my eyes. He turned to Rosalie.

"You believe me, right babe?" He gave her puppy dog eyes. I tuned him out after that. I heard Bella say something to Edward that got my attention. "Um, I have to go. I'll see you in Biology." She then got up from her seat and ran away.

"What did you say to her?!" I snapped at Edward.

"Nothing! We were just playing 20 questions and she just got up and left! I swear!" He had his hands up.

"Whatever." I muttered. I heard him muttering about how I jump to conclusions. But I wasn't paying attention to him. I was paying attention to Bella. Who was walking out of the cafeteria. With Ms. Sabine.

My dance teacher.

Uh-oh! Is Alice going to jump to conclusions like she normally does or is she going to let it slide? I feel like this made the chapter so much better! I'm going to try to update on time if I can. Let me give you a tip... don't play 2 sports at the same time, especially if one requires using your hands and the other requires using your feet, because it will seriously screw you up!

Quote of the chapter!

"It' not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." –Vince Lombardi

I'm really into quotes! When I'm down I say a quote and I feel all better! So now for each chapter I will have a song and a quote!

Now something really interesting... I CAN'T WAIT FOR BEAUTIFUL CREATURES TO COME OUT! *coughs* sorry about that... I've read the first book and I'm about to read Beautiful Darkness! But have you seen the trailer? It's is so cool! And they have southern accents! You could watch the trailer on youtube! Tell me if your a fan of the series and whether you liked the trailer or not!

Well guys that's it for today! Review and I'll see you next week!

Tootles,

TerryCherry :)
