HEY THERE!
THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS, GUYS! I MEAN…200+ REVIEWS!! I'm just…SHOCKED!
I give you Chapter 12: Planning and Shifted Schedules.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
I just had the weirdest dream. It was about Edward coming here to Forks and he was gorgeous and perfect and he had an adopted brother who was called Emmett who likes cookies. In my dream, we went back to the house and had some normal Sky Fly jamming time then after, I had a paintball and water hose fight with Edward in the garden.
"Bella. Bella. BELLA!" Alice screamed, jumping on me.
"What, Alice?" I said, still half asleep.
"Good Morning Bella. Time to get up, you wouldn't want to miss school now, would you?" She said as she raised her eyebrow at me.
"No I wouldn't want to." I said.
"I didn't think so with all your sleep talking…" she trailed off and raised my brow at her. "Anyway, get your pretty self into the shower and get ready! I've got the perfect outfit for you! And I have a good feeling about today so let's go!" she said as she shoved a couple of clothes to my waiting hands then she left. At least she wouldn't force hair and make-up today…right? Well, whatever. If she wanted, she was going to do it anyway.
I made my way to the shower and turned the heat up, it was raining like cats and dogs again. Typical Forks. I took my time in the shower then I put on my Alice approved clothes. My top was a long purple blouse that had a cute monster and the word 'raarrr'. My pants were black skinny jeans. I liked this outfit so much…the top was cute. I got out of the bathroom and got my sneakers from my shoe rack to put it on.
I went down the stairs and as usual, I was greeted by the smell of breakfast. I knew by the scent that it was waffles. I loved waffles especially if they had whipped cream and chocolate syrup. As usual, I tried to rush down the stairs without tripping and did it successfully. Shocking…I know. Apparently, not only for me…
"Oh my god, Bella didn't trip!!" Rose screeched.
"Oh gosh! THIS IS BIG NEWS!" Alice squealed.
I gave them the you're-boring-me-so-just-quit-it look. I noticed that it wasn't only Jazz with them…but the two other people from my dream! YES! EDWARD AND EMMETT. Yeah, right.
"Good Morning, Bella!" Emmett and Edward said…okay, apparently, it wasn't a dream. OMG, that just made me so happy.
"Morning Emmie, Eddie." I said in a bored tone, like I usually am in the morning.
"Hey, you no like mornings?" Emmett said in a playful tone while he gave me a bear hug.
"Can't…breathe!" I gasped then he let go of me.
"Sorry Bells" He said as they laughed together.
"Wait, what are you guys doing here this morning?" I asked.
"I called them all over for breakfast." Alice replied.
"And Emmett wanted to come anyway since you guys have good food for sure…" Edward added.
"Our parents aren't home and we don't know to cook!" Emmett whined, causing us all to laugh.
"Whatever guys, let's just eat!" Jasper said then we raided the dining table. I was looking around, wondering where Renee was when I heard her comforting voice.
"Good Morning kids! Are you enjoying breakfast?" She asked as she sat in the table with us.
"Yes mom!" I said with a grin. She knew my obsession and craving for waffles and pancakes.
"That's nice to know. You kids better hurry up and get to school" she said then she stood up to go upstairs, probably her room.
"Let's go guys!" Alice stood up dragged me outside where our cars await.
I was looking for Edward's silver Volvo and Rosalie's red BMW…but what I saw was…my blue Mercedes, Alice's yellow Porsche, Jasper's silver Audi Coupe and a white Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Who owns the Jeep? I knew Jasper owned the Audi…but the Jeep?
I looked at my friends questioningly while gesturing the Jeep.
"Oh. Emmett wanted to show off his big Jeep and wanted me to keep my Aston Martin in the garage with my Volvo." Edward said, boredom in his voice…wait a minute… 'my Aston Martin…my Volvo" he owned two cars for crying out loud!
"You own an Aston Martin? You know, like James Bond's car? THE one in Quantum of Solace!? THE ASTON MARTIN DBS V12?!?" I questioned him.
He nodded then grinned sheepishly.
"Wow…that's just…wow." I said, speechless. It's not every day when you find out someone has a car like the one James Bond 007 has! Heck, I'd kill for a car that. And now, my FRIEND has it…he has to let me see it!
"CAN I SEE IT SOMETIME?" I squealed, excited. I hope it's black so it looks cooler and more sinister.
"YEAH! I'LL COME WITH!" Rose squealed after me. She was a car person so it was expected for her to be all excited.
"Of course girls." He said as everyone giggled at the background.
"Who knew Bella knew cars? Especially about Aston Martin cars" Rose asked as she eyed me.
"I only knew this one because I watched the movie. It looked so cool so I looked for it in the internet." I said.
"Well, whatever. Let's just get to school." Jasper said as he and Rose got in his Audi Coupe.
"Let's go Bells! I'm driving today, no complaining!" Alice said as she dragged me to her bright yellow Porsche.
We all sped to school like yesterday. When we got there, we were almost late. I made my way to class with Emmett for World History, Jasper with Rosalie for English, Edward and Alice for Music.
The whole morning was uneventful…that is until I reached music.
"Good Morning class."
"Good Morning, sir"
"Everyone knows that every music class, we start with a student playing a piece, either your own piece or something that exist already. Right?"
"Yes, sir."
"Yesterday, we had Jessica…today, let's have you" He said as he pointed to me. SHOOT. What do I play? Am I allowed to play something I made for the band? Maybe, I hope they don't mind. I have no time to think of anything else and anyway, they already heard it.
"Okay sir. May I use the guitar, sir?" I asked, unsure.
"Of course, Ms. Swan."
I took a deep breath as I took the guitar and started to play and sing my heart out.
Let's make a mess
Steal a kiss in the moment
You and me everything that could be
Touch, don't go
Stay as long as you like
Let's get reckless
Dance with our hands to the beat
Don't let this slip throw our fingers
It feels insane
Don't you put up a fight
Let's rough it up till they shut it down
It's o-o-o-obvious
Right here is where the party starts with you and me
All alone, no one has to know
It's o-o-o-obvious to me
How its gonna be
O-o-o-obvious, when you come close to me
Let's make a scene like movies in our dreams
Make me scream
Take me down, no one's watching
Close your eyes,
Play it back in rewind
So serial as the story unfolds on the screen
Stop stalling the credits are rolling
Hold me now before we run out of time
Let's rough it up till the end of the night
It's o-o-o-obvious
Right here is where the party starts with you and me
All alone, no one has to know
It's o-o-o-obvious to me
How its gonna be
O-o-o-obvious when you come close to me
It's o-o-o-obvious
One kiss
It's easy to see you and me
It's o-o-o-obvious
Right here is where the party starts with you and me
All alone, no one has to know
It's o-o-o-obvious to me
How its gonna be
O-o-o-obvious when you come close to me
It's o-o-o-obvious
Right here is where the party starts with you and me
All alone, no one has to know
It's o-o-o-obvious to me
How its gonna be
O-o-o-obvious when you come close to me
I just whispered the last line and stopped playing the guitar. After my song, I looked around to be greeted by faces with the same mask of shock. I guess no one expected the shy Swan girl to be able to sing and play the guitar, right? I wanted to laugh at myself or kick myself. Of course they were shocked! They were expecting me to be no good! Well, what is there to expect from a girl like me?
"That was great, Miss Swan." Sir complemented. I just nodded and went back to my seat.
The class was so boring that I took out my composition notebook and continue to write songs.
After music was lunch so I made my way to my locker which was in the other building. I was in a hurry to meet up with my friends so I tripped a bit from dodging people on my way.
I threw my stuff into my locker and took my Chemistry book and gym bag. When I was done, I hit my locked door hard so it would close by itself, which it did. I turned around only to find Tanya and her troop of whores.
"Hey Swan." Tanya sneered.
"Hey Denali, may I help you?" I said in the same tone.
"Yes. Hand over the Cullen guy." She said as she stepped towards me.
"Ask him yourself." I said as I backed away from her.
"Can't you help me with this?" She asked with a disgusting pout.
"Nope. Sorry. Well I've got to go meet my FRIENDS." I sneered the word friends.
I side stepped by her so she was out of my way. When I came to lunch, I was greeted by smiles and waves from my friends.
"Hey Bells, how was your morning?" Alice asked.
"Boring. Uneventful." I said in a bored tone. I really didn't want to talk about Music this morning because they'll just reassure me and all…and I don't want such attention.
"Ours as well. Well, I got you food so you didn't have to line up." Edward said. He was the perfect gentle man. And people said Chivalry is dead? I don't think so.
"Why, thank you kind sir." I said.
"My pleasure, milady" He said in reply and we both burst out laughing.
"Okay, now that Bells is here…. Let's eat." Emmett said.
As we were eating, we flowed into an easy discussion especially about the boy's prank on Mike during gym. Then Alice asked a question I didn't want to answer 'cause I didn't want to talk about it…AT ALL.
"So Bells, what took you so long?"
"I've got an encounter with Tanya and her people" I said in an uninterested tone. I was really trying to avoid this…
"What did they want now that they just had to go to you again?" Rosalie said, venom in her voice.
"Tanya said, she wanted Edward here." I said as I gestured to Edward which made him stiffen.
"Okay." They all said as they looked down at their food like it was the most interesting sight in the world.
After eating, we parted ways and walked to class. I walked to Chemistry with Edward.
Chemistry was going like…a blur, like the other subjects until…
"Isabella Swan, Alice Swan, Jasper Hale, Rosalie Hale, Edward Cullen and Emmett Cullen. Please proceed to the principal's office. Thank you and good day." A voice from the speaker said.
"What did you guys do now?" I asked as I eyed Edward beside me. I was aware of the eyes of everyone on us and was just trying hard to not blush.
"Nothing that I know about. Besides, it might be a good thing, right?" He asked and I just nodded.
"Let's go , Bells."
"Kay, meet me outside, I'll just get our passes."
"I'll get my pass with you"
"Sir, can Bella and I have our hall passes so we could go to the Principal's office."
"Here. Good luck in your first trip to the office."
"Thank you, sir." I said, note sarcasm.
With that, we walked together to the office, hand in hand. Just like friends, right? I mean, he was just doing that to calm me.
"Please sit down, Ms. Swan and Mr. Cullen." Mr. Mallory, our principal said.
"I've heard each of you play an instrument and sing. And I am proud to say that each of you plays really well and you exemplify in melodies and lyrics. Since I've figured that you won't learn anything that you don't already know, I will give the six of you a project that will be your exam for this term. The six of you will organize the upcoming dance and you will have to perform. You may ask the help of other students in the organization of the dance but not when it comes to your performance." Mr. Rodriguez, our music teacher said.
Alice raised her hand.
"Yes, Miss Swan?"
"Can we perform as a band?"
"Yes you may. You can play songs as a group but make sure that each of you has a single to yourself. Might I ask, are the six of you interested in forming a band?"
"Actually sir, we ALREADY ARE a band." Alice said with a grin.
"Well, that's nice. Because I know that it's short in time, I am arranging your schedules to be all the same, each class with each other and an extra period for practice and organizing the dance which will be held three weeks from now. After the dance, you will lose the extra period of practice since there is nothing else to practice for and those periods will turn back to Gym and Music. However, your schedules may go back to the way it was before any of this if you insist. But you can keep it even after the dance."
"THAT'S SOOO GREAT!" Alice squealed.
"I know, right? We'll all be together for…everyday!" Rose squealed.
"Anyway, thank you Mr. Rodriguez, we promise to do our best with or performances and with the organization of the dance." Edward, our gentleman, assured Mr. Rodriguez while the rest of us were still thinking of the news, still shocked.
"YAY! THIS IS SO MUCH FUN! I already have ideas…" she trailed off but I tuned her out.
"Okay, here are new schedules." Mr. Rodriguez said as he handed us our schedules.
1st period-World History
2nd period-Chemistry
3rd period-Trigonometry
4th period-English Literature
5th period-Lunch
6th to 7th period-Free Periods [organize and practice]
"Thank you again, sir." I said.
"No problem, now, you can go to the library or wherever else you are comfortable and start organizing the dance." He said and we nodded.
We went out of the office then Jasper lead us to a big oak tree in our school's garden.
"So, Alice, what was this brilliant idea of yours?" I asked, clutching my binder closer to me, ready to write whatever she might say.
"Okay…so I thought of a 'Mid Summer Night's Dream' theme."
"Oh my, Alice, that's perfect!" Rosalie squealed.
"So, how do we decorate the place?" Edward asked.
"We can cover the whole gym and the garden with a lot of Christmas lights, glittered leaves and all the dreamy effects!" Alice squealed as I wrote down the stuff she just said.
The whole afternoon went just like that, planning the dance. But after the day, we were nowhere near one-fourth of the planning plus we still have to plan all the band songs and performances. We all agreed to finish it early so we could have more time for our music. We planned to go to Edward and Emmett's house this afternoon for the dance plans.
I, for one is most excited to visit the Cullen's lair. We made our way to our own cars and let the big, white Jeep lead us to it's home base, the Cullen's lair. Who knows what secrets they keep?! [evil laugh]
