The chosen pairs
Chapter 8
A/N: In case anyone's confused, the three were chosen because of their talents in the music class as the school wanted to send out good representatives instead of people who have no talents. I was quite disappointed that I only CroseMyHeart108 had reviewed the last chapter but thank you guys for your support. Okay, enough of my crap, let's get the story going…
One month later…
Bella POV:
"BELLA!!! You must call me when you get there alright? Remember to wear the clothes I bought you!" I hugged my wailing sister as she fussed over me. I saw a tear escape from Charlie's eye but I know he was happy for me.
"Dad, I will call you and Alice as soon as I reached there, no worries," I smiled at them. Charlie and I enveloped into an awkward hug. "Be careful there, okay kid? Remember to wear your sweater when it gets cold," Charlie said. I could see that he was really worried.
I kissed Charlie on the cheek and hugged Alice again. She kissed me on the cheek before saying, "Bella, I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen at Canada, so keep a lookout and don't get repulsive if something really happens." I nodded my head- I learnt to trust Alice's feelings as they were really accurate.
I waved to them again and I stepped onto the plane. What bad luck, I was sitting in between Edward and Eileen, the two lovebirds. I tried to walk coolly over there and I asked, "Eileen, would you like to sit at my place?"
She seemed really glad and we exchanged places. I could see a disappointment in Edward's eye; no I must be imagining it. I looked into his emerald green eyes again and the feeling seemed to have disappeared. Well, then I had imagine it.
I took out my sweet and started sucking it as I listened to the songs on plane. I turned around to see Edward and Eileen kissing. I sighed mentally and read my book. Just then, I got a call from Jacob. "Hello, Jacob! What's up?" I asked, trying to act cheerful.
I could feel Edward looking at me, or glaring is a better description. Could he be jealous? Nope, impossible. "Bella, I heard you are going to Canada for the audition and I and my girlfriend's staying here, and I'm now at our place. Her place is quite near the studio, so you-" Jacob haven't finished his sentence when I heard a girl snatch his phone away.
"Hello, Jacob's sis? I'm Renesmee! So are you going to stay with us?? I would love you to come you know?" she said energetically. She reminds me of Alice. I burst out giggling. Edward and Eileen were looking at me with weird looks.
I ignored them and replied excitedly, "Sure, I'd love to! See you later then! I think I will reach the airport at about 11.00pm. See you there!" I heard her saying good bye and asking me to take care before cutting the line as she bounced off to get ready.
I smiled again and I heard Edward asked, "Who is this Jacob guy?" I could hear something else in his voice. "It's none of your business; go continue your 'business' with Eileen." I replied, putting air quotes in the air.
He looked hurt and became silent. Just then, Eileen came back from the washroom. I smiled kindly at her and she smiled back. "So, you love dancing?" she asked, trying to start a conversation. "Yep! It tends to lighten up my mood, what about you?" I asked.
She smiled and said, "Well, same as you although I like listening to piano songs better." "Oh, you mean Debussy (A/N: I don't know how it's spelled but forgive me if I spelled it wrongly.)? I love his songs!" I replied excitedly. "What? You listen to Debussy?" Edward asked, amazed.
"Why not? His songs are great, it makes my mood better and it's really-" I was interrupted by Edward. "Ya, you know it's like soothing your nerves and it's kind of a song for dancing if you like slow dance!" "Ya, I love slow dances! And the song can…" we went babbling until the plane landed.
I saw Eileen pouting as we had been too immersed in our conversation. I gave her an apology look and she just shrug before kissing Edward on the cheek. I felt a tinge of sadness and jealousy but shrugged it off and I waved to them before walking towards Jacob and the girl beside him whom I assumed is his girlfriend.
"Hi, Bella!" she shrieked before giving me a big hug. I giggled and greeted her back. "Bella!" I heard Edward call. I spun around to see him walking over to me. I rolled my eyes and asked, "What the hell?" "Err, can you maybe give me your number and your address so maybe I can fetch you and Eileen to the audition. It will be more convenient," he tried persuading me.
After a while of protests, I gave in to Edward and gave them to him. I walked away with Jacob and Renesmee. "So, your boyfriend huh?" Jacob teased me. I shook my head, "Nope, too popular, a player and has a girlfriend." "Aww, I thought you two were a couple you know!" Renesmee said disappointment evident in her voice. I rolled my eyes and called Alice and Charlie.
Jacob kissed her nose and she cheered up almost immediately. I pretended to be annoyed and they laughed. I went into the backseat and we took off. It was quite far from Renesmee's house so we chatted to know each other well.
"Wow, Renesmee, you like to read Wuthering Heights too?" I asked, amazed. She smiled and just then, we reached their house. It was almost 3pm after we ate our lunch. I went upstairs to prepare my clothing and make-up, and then started practicing ballet.
By then, it was 5pm. I went down to chat with the two lovebirds and as they say, time flies when you're having fun. It was already 7pm. As we were too busy chatting to notice the time, we had to eat instant noodles.
Then after watching television, it was 9pm. "Little sis, time to go for bed!" I heard Jacob say. I stuck my tongue out at him and ignored him. Renesmee tried not to giggle but ended up laughing while clutching her stomach when we started fighting for the remote control.
Jacob won this time, I shook my head in frustration and he smirked. I rolled my eyes again and went upstairs to sleep. I just couldn't. Just then, someone knocked on my door, it was Renesmee.
"Am I disturbing you?" she asked. I shook my head. "Well, firstly, I would like to wish you good luck for tomorrow's audition. And now the very important thing…" I widened my eyes and looked at her.
"Can I help you to make-up? Please?" she pleaded. I sighed and gave in. she squealed in delight before bouncing off to her room. I smiled and went to sleep.
I heard my alarm clock ringing- it was 8am. I have to get to the studio by 10am. I yawned and got up. "You finally got up? Your breakfast is downstairs and go to shower after that!" she said. I nodded my head and did what she asked.
When she was helping me to get ready, my phone rang. I picked it up and a velvety voice spoke, no doubt- Edward. "Beautiful, coming over to fetch you at 9.30am," Edward said cheerfully. "Don't call me beautiful, you've a girlfriend!" I replied, laughing. We are like friends now.
When Edward came to fetch me, all three of us were chatting happily. When it is my turn, Edward kissed my hand and said, "Good luck, Bella." I blushed and nodded. "You too, and don't forget that you've a girlfriend." He grinned and replied, "She's not here anyway." I rolled my eyes and went inside.
I greeted the judges and started my performance. At the end, I saw them with their mouths gaping. I am kind of confused, what the hell is wrong with them?!
After the break, the judges started to announce the performing team. "Cecilia with Clement, Isabella with Edward, Carol with Justin, Trish and Will, Tanya with Laurent, Kate with Garrett and lastly, Angela with Jorge." I and Edward looked at each other, wide-eyed. Eileen just sulked for not being chosen.
I could see that Edward was really surprised by the teams. Eileen, Felicia and Jane will be anyone's substitute for the ballerinas. I called Alice immediately to tell her the good news and she squealed with joy.
After calling her, I headed for the car park where Renesmee said she will fetch me. It was quite deserted and Edward said he will wait for Eileen to calm down before heading for the car park.
"Bella, how're you?" I heard a menacing voice ask. I turned around to see my ex-boyfriend, James, holding a knife.
