Hey guys! I know not a lot of people have me on author alert, so if you didn't know; I HAVE A NEW STORY OUT. (: It is called "Only in New York." I think yall would enjoy that one.

I will not be neglecting this story at all. School has been hectic but it's break for me! & HAPPY THANKSGIVING! ;D

Disclaimer; I am not the of SM's characters.

Bella's POV:

"Harder! Try harder! Extend your leg back. No, that's too far. Glide, not stumble. Faster!" Mr. Sumner yelled at our after school rehearsal for the winter showcase. The winter showcase was right around the corner.

Today was November 22nd. The showcase was to be date for on December 10th. There was less than a month to practice for it. Not to mention the group's extra dance we're going to do.

I'm gonna be in the extra dance, hip-hop, and ballet part of the showcase. Mr. Sumner, the hip-hop teacher, was drilling us to be perfect. He wanted us to have fun, but it's pretty intense. We've been in the studio for an hour and a half. Not to mention, I had Mrs. Prane's, the ballet teacher, rehearsal either that day.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the back of my hand and continued back to dancing. I stomped at the appropriate places and started to back up to let Emmett produce his dance solo.

Emmett would be break dancing, with many of us in the background cheering him on. It was a thrill for that boy. Emmett nailed it right on time and got a high-five from Mr. Sumner.

"Okay! 5 minute break, go get water," Mr. Sumner instructed us taking a seat on the ground.

Everybody thanked him quickly and ran to their bags to grab a sip of water.

"Hey, baby girl," Edward said smiling to after taking a swig of gatorade.

"You know, water is healthier than gatorade," I replied taking a big gulp of water. Emmett then reached us with his huge bottle of gatorade.

"Good job, bro. Ya' nailed it," Edward spoke to Emmett.

"You know it! Up top!" Emmett yelled to Edward giving him a hi-five.

"Emmett, even I don't have that much energy left in me," spoke Alice. She wasn't in our class, but she was gonna participate in the hip-hop part. Jasper and Rosalie aren't a big fan of hip-hop, so they were in some other dance practice.

"Come on! Last time, take it from the top!" the teacher yelled. We threw our drinks in our bags and got up ready to dance again.

*NSN*

"I like the outfits, Alice," I said with major surprise when Mr. Sumner threw the outfits at us. We all caught ours and got ready to leave. The outfits for us girls were pink, yellow, or green tank top. Alice choose pink, also Alice said I had to wear the green.

We had another black tank-top to go over it and there were black capris or black shorts. I went with capris and Alice choose the shorts. Also, there were hats for us to throw on. The boys just had a black open t-shirt and their choice of jeans.

"Don't act surprised! You know I'm like the fashion guru," Alice said hitting my shoulder.

"Don't abuse ma' lady," Edward said to Alice. Alice just laughed her little tinkling laugh and took off to meet Jasper. Emmett didn't want to be by us "love birds" so he ditched.

Right before he ditched though, he said he got a text saying that, "We're going out to dinner at 6:30. New place opened. Wear something casual." He said Alice texted him.

"Yeah, yeah," I spoke to him.

"I'm going to take a shower and get ready for dinner. Bye, Edward," I smiled at him and gave him a hug.

"What? No kiss?" he said with a puppy dog face.

"No, you're gross and sweaty," I winked at him and took off in a jog to my room. I grabbed a pair of jeans because it was awfully cold tonight and a gray and blue sweater. I think Alice would be proud.

I smiled at that joke. I jumped in the shower and instantly felt free of sweat and germs. I used my regular strawberry shampoo and dove body soap. I cleaned myself and got dressed.

Since, I wasn't Rosalie or Alice, I just dried my hair and added a touch of mascara. They'd probably yell at me for it later because they took me to buy foundation, concealer, eye shadow, primer, and stuff like that last weekend.

I slipped on some ballet flats and headed out to Jasper's dorm because I got a text that everybody was meeting there. I walked out the dorm and immediately hit someone.

"Ouch," I muttered to myself. I stood up to help the person I bumped into. It was Mike. The kid I pretended to flirt with on the first day. Man, karma is coming back to bite me.

"Sorry," I said pulling him to his feet. He stood up and rubbed the back of his head.

"No, it's fine. Um, yeah. Bye," he scurried away from me. I'm surprised he didn't try to pull something on me. I bet Emmett said something to that kid. I'm gonna talk to Emmett about that later.

I walked to Jasper's dorm & we all jumped in the jeep to "Aurora." Once we arrived there, it seemed like a very cozy restaurant. I'm glad I wasn't over-dressed. We took our seats and quickly ordered.

"Emmett, what did you say to Mike Newton?" I questioned giving him a look.

"Oh! Oh, Oh. Hahah, well. I just, sorta of, you know told him to stay away from you or I'll do something illegal to him," Emmett stuttered.

"Illegal to him? Don't rape him," Rosalie giggled and kissed his cheek.

Now, that is why I just love my friends.
