YAY! Chapter ten. You guys have no idea how happy I am about this right now because this story is starting to go somewhere!
But New Moon came out on DVD yesterday - in America at least. And I really suggest that everybody get the three disk because it's way better than the Wal-Mart version.
Just saying.
But I hope you all enjoy this story and review!

So rest assured I have the key to every opening
To every wishing well that's deep enough to dream (dream)
I want to show you just how fascinating kissing is
When earth collides with all the space between (yeah)

Chapter 10: You Look Hot In a Tutu

FYI: There is a time jump in this chapter. Edward and Bella have turned in their Romeo and Juliet project. They have also learned more of their dance for the showcase. It's now March (the same date as now) about two months away from the showcase.

BPOV

"Good morning Ocean Walk Academy students. Today is sure to be a sunny day here in Miami, Florida," the announcer said over the intercom while Edward, Alice and I were walking towards the cafeteria. "I'm here to bring a very exciting announcement from our principle, Mr. Presley that our annual spring formal will be here in only a week. So girls you better get shopping and guys, have fun finding a date." Some guys in the classroom laughed at the announcer's wit while others started to look nervous. I wasn't really excited for the dance because I really didn't enjoy standing around in heels and an uncomfortable dress for hours on end. But Alice, on the other hand, was beyond excited.

"Oh my gosh! Bella, this is going to be so fun! Please say you're coming." Alice pleaded.

"Mmm... I'm not sure Alice. I'm not really into dancing in high heels. I only dance in comfortable shoes," I said. We were all in line right now getting our lunch. I really didn't enjoy school lunches because they were usually not cooked all the way and greasy. I quickly grabbed a salad and put it on my tray.

"Come on, Bella. It will be fun. You can hang out with all of us and jump around like crazy!" Alice said trying to convince me as we made our way to a table.

"And why would I want to do that on a Saturday night when I could be sleeping?" I asked her while pulling up my hair into a ponytail. Alice had already taken a bite of her food and was busy chewing to she couldn't talk.

"You would rather sleep than hang out with me?" she asked. "You're becoming more like Edward everyday." She said. Edward tried to cover a laugh with a cough but it didn't work so I kicked him under the table.

"Ow!" he exclaimed. I gave him a smile before Alice could see.

"Please, Bella. The more you keep refusing the more I'll annoy you about it."

"She's telling the truth," Edward chipped in. "One time, in freshman year she bugged me so much about going to a dance that I actually gave in. And you know I usually know I never give in," he said with a sly smile.

"Wow, but Alice if I do go, you have to promise not to force me into some hideous dress, and do my hair and make up. I can do all of that myself," I said.

"Yay! As long as you're going I won't force you into anything!" she squealed. I rolled my eyes at her and took another bite of my salad.

"So how are the dances coming for the showcase?" Alice asked.

"They're coming," Edward and I said at the same time.

"But they're really complicated," I continued. "It's like Mr. Molona thinks we can do everything the first time we try it. Which isn't the truth at all."

"Well, only the girls have to do the complicated stuff. We guys are basically just there to catch you if you fall," Edward said.

"That is true. But I think it will all turn out really great in the end," I said.

"Hello ladies and one gentleman." We all looked over to see Emmett sitting down with us with Rosalie and Jasper in tow.

"So, how do you like the dance, Bella?" Rosalie asked me. I had almost forgotten she was in the dance program herself.

"It's good. With the exception of this thing as my partner," I said nodding my head towards Edward. He knew I was teasing him and narrowed his eyes at me. I stuck my tongue out in response.

"Ha, well that sounds nice. But you got to deal with annoying partners," Rose replied.

"Isn't your class supposed to be coming to our period so we can work on some kind of dance?" I asked her.

"We were supposed to, but Mr. Molona had to be somewhere today, so he's sending all his classes to the gym," she said while picking up a magazine and flipping through it.

"Great," I said sarcastically. There was a reason why I chose two periods of dancing, I hate gym and always will. Back in Arizona, I used to dread just walking into the locker room. Like I said before, I'm only coordinated when it comes to dancing.

There wasn't much I could do about it now because the bell had rung, signaling for us to go to sixth period. Edward and I didn't waste anytime walking to the studio just to see the note telling us to go to the gym. We were some of the first ones to arrive at the horrid place. It smelt like sweat and must. Nasty. We sat down against the bleachers and waited for the rest of our class to arrive. After the attendance had been called Edward had said he wanted to show me something. He grabbed my hand and led me outside.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked.

"You've been there before; I just wanted you to see it how I do," he said giving me a sneaky grin. We went outside into the field and then entered another building. Once we had gone through another pair of doors I looked around and saw that it was the schools football stadium.

"Wow," I said looking up at all the empty seats around us. "This place looks so huge from down here." And it was true. There had to be at least a thousand seats in here. It definitely looked different from down on the field.

"Yeah, I guess so. But the only time I'm in the stands is when I sit on the bench, which is very rarely."

I chuckled at him. I looked around again, trying to take in this place when it's empty.

"So, is there any other reason you brought me here?" I asked turning to him.

"Actually, yes. You want to play some one on one?"

"How can you play one-on-one in football? I thought that was only in basketball. Plus, I don't know how to throw a ball."

"And volley ball, but I can't play that. Who doesn't know how to throw a football? I could throw one when I was five," he said while trying not to laugh.

"I can't. I'm sorry I don't have the hand-eye coordination like you, Mr. Pig Skin," I said, making fun of him again.

"Oh, that hurt Bella," he said while putting his hand to his chest like he was trying to stop the pain. "And I could always teach you." Then, like it came out of thin air, he had a football in his hands.

"I don't know. We might be here a while, if you try," I said, trying to talk him out of it.

"Come on, it will be fun," he said walking up to me.

"Turn around, face one of the goals and take the ball into your hands," he said handing me the ball. I followed his instructions and turned around. I felt him come up behind me so he could help me get this right. My breathing hitched a notch at his closeness to me.

"Now, line up your fingers on your right hand with the white lines on the ball." When I tried, I guess it didn't come out right because I heard Edward chuckle behind me and suddenly his hands were on top of mine positioning them where they should be on the ball. It was kind of hard to concentrate on what I was doing when I could feel his breath going down my neck.

"There, you're almost ready to throw it. But, you need to relax your shoulders." Then, I felt his hands on my shoulders and he started to massage them lightly. By now, my heart was about to go out of my chest, and I had to close my eyes to focus on my breathing. He really wasn't helping by being this close to me and whispering in my ear.

"Now, just pull back your arms and throw." I heard Edward say. Once I knew he stepped back, I did what he said and watched the ball fly. I didn't go as far as it would of for Edward but that was farther than I could ever have thrown before this.

"W…wow," I stuttered. I was still thinking about how close Edward was to me before.

"Hmm, that was, really good for your first try, Bella. I'm impressed."

"Really? It seems I'm the only girl in this school that can impress you," I said teasing him.

"You would really impress me if you can score a touchdown while trying getting past me," he challenged while picking up the ball. I looked at him for a second, then walked over and snatched to ball from his hands.

"You're on."

We both went to opposite sides of the field – Edward at one fifty yard mark while I was at the other – and I immediately started trying to think of a way I could get this ball into the touchdown zone without Edward catching me. I could already tell it wouldn't be easy.

"Any day now, Bella. Or are you going to chicken out?" Edward yelled from across the field.

"I'm not chickening out!" I yelled back.

I started running towards the touchdown zone at full force while cradling the ball in my hands. As soon as I got close enough to him he started chasing me down the field. Laughter soon got the best of me and I had to slow down to catch my breath. I felt Edward's arms go around my waist and pull us down to the ground. He was trying to wrestle the ball away from me and we ended up rolling around on the ground and getting covered in mud. We eventually stopped rolling around and I looked up to see Edward hovering over me.

"You are pretty good for a ballerina," he teased me.

"You are aware of the fact that you're a dancer too, right?" I said even though I couldn't breathe because of his weight on top of me.

"Yeah, I know. But I'm not a ballerina," he replied. I laughed at the image of Edward in a tutu.

"What's so funny?" he asked me since I couldn't control myself from laughing,

"Nothing, nothing. It's just you'd look hot in a tutu," I said while laughing in his face.

"Whoa! What's going on in here?" We heard someone yell from across the field. We both looked up to see Rosalie and Alice standing at the corner of the football field and they both were giving us a look that said 'We know what you two really want to be doing right now.' It was pretty embarrassing, but before it could get anymore awkward Edward was telling them what had happened.

"I was just teaching Bella how to throw a football, and then we got competitive like we always do and ended up fighting," Edward explained quickly.

"Uh-huh. Sure," Rosalie said bleakly.

Edward and I got up from the ground and dusted all the dirt off of ourselves. We all went our separate ways to our rooms, but when Alice and I got to our room I saw a note on the door, addressed to me.

Hey Bella,

Hope you had fun with Edward today. Too bad it won't last long.

~anonymous

I ripped the note off the wall and crumpled it up in my hand. I know exactly who this came from and they were going to be sorry they messed with me.
