Oh oh oh! New chapter!!! Chapter 7!
Ok someone asked in the reviews about the story being kind of "Victorian themed" …Yes the story does seem to be in Victorian times but it is not….. it just seems that way because the school is very old and is very traditional and seemly decorated for elegance. The students also have uniforms and are supposed to act proper because that's what they've been taught to do…..but don't forget that the story is in this time period…..and it is a boarding school for wealthy families.
sorry for the confusion, Ill always answer anything if u guys are confused. So ask!
Thanks for all of ur reviews!! even though I don't mind if u don't…. but u inspire me 2 keep going!

Bella POV
Edward walked me to my house… it was awkward at first….well maybe to me but I wasn't too experienced in this kind of thing ….but the more we talked the more I liked Edward and thought of him often.
What a silly little girl I must be! He probably doesn't feel the same….I really wasn't sure what that was because when I was with Edward I felt different then when I was with Ryan in rare moments….. I was more and more confused…everyday since the Cullen's came. Everything seemed like it didn't fit, but at the same time it seemed connected.
We got to the door of my house and I stopped and looked at him. Both of us silent.
" What is it" he asked curious and irritated at the silence.
I wanted to ask him many things like why he always was with me?,
why he had asked me to the ball?, ….What was I too him? Of coarse I didn't have an answer of what Edward was to me…but I wanted answers….
He continued too look at me with irritation with my silence until I finally spoke.
" Its nothing." I whispered and got inside the house closing the door on a rather confused-looking vampire.
I leaned against the door…I was sure he was on the other end of it….But I continued almost feeling mixed feelings in the air. I walked up to my room and laid on my bed, hugging the laced Pillow. I closed my eyes and Sighed. I wasn't sure about anything anymore.
" You look confused?" I looked over and my ghost was laying on the bed next to me. This might frighten a normal person. But my other self often visited me. No one knew, I was probably insane…. but I was always happy to see her and we began too look the same as I was getting near her age.
" yes I am…" I answered closing my eyes
" I don't know why but I have been having weird dreams and thoughts about Edward." I continued.
" ah, So you like him?" she whispered unemotionally.
" I don't know …Its just odd the way I feel about someone I've hardy know for a while….."
She turned to her side facing me ….I did the same
" Well I don't have an answer for that its your life.." She said calmly.
" I know, but your opinion matters to me you're my best friend." I answered meaning every word.
We stared at each other holding hands. I felt connection again. We had a connection… like sister but I knew that we where more than that….and even though she wouldn't say….I knew.. we held the same parts of each other. That thought lingered in my mind as I drifted into dreams.
I woke up late in the morning but it was a Saturday, so I allowed to do so. I got dressed into regular clothes and headed downstairs. I counted steps and froze on the last one surprised to see Ryan coming out of Tomas' Office. " Ryan" I whispered knowing quite well enough he could hear me.
He stopped and turned towards me awkwardly, " Hello Miss Swan." he said coldly.
I gave him a shocked look why the formalities? he stepped closer to me….
" So I hear that Mr. Cullen is escorting you to the Ball…" He continued accusingly, this confused me Had I done something wrong?
" yes he is."
He gave me a cold glare as if I was nothing and turned away. Usually I would have said nothing, but I stepped closer pulling at his sleeve anger spreading through my body.
" Ryan, What's with you? Have I done something wrong? why are you acting as if I don't exist?" I yelled angrily. He didn't even look at me….but just walked out the front door saying nothing…answering nothing.
I sat on the stairs defeated trying to figure out how I could have made Ryan, the person I adored and loved in my childhood….now hate me and not even give me the time of day.
As I was thinking Sarah's cool hands wrapped around me. " Dear, don't be bothered by Ryan, Hey…how about we take a walk in town and have a girls day!" she suggested sweetly. I nodded and wiped the almost tears. She smiled and said " that's my girl! now…go eat breakfast…Ill be back when your done." I nodded and walked towards the kitchen.
Sarah POV
I waited till Bella was out of sight and I quickly dashed outside the house heading toward the school dorms.
When I walked through the " special dorms I was greeted by vampires who where in the hallway. Danielle was the first to speak, " Sarah! How good of you to visit!"
" Actually, is Ryan in his room?" I answered quickly. I hated talking to girls except for Bella. Most Vampire females……. irritated me and since I had connections to Ryan and Tomas…… they sought to become close with me. I especially got jealous of Bella's Human friends….. so taking wasn't my priority. Danielle gave me a hurt look since I wasn't interested in her plans….I knew perfectly well about her feelings to Ryan.
" Is he?" I repeated impatiently " I…I believe so…" she stuttered
I went to Ryan's door and gave it one loud knock. He opened it suddenly surprised I was there.
I walked in waiting for him to close it. He did and opened his mouth to say something….. I interrupted him by slamming him into the wall he was shocked. " What the hell!" he yelled
" Shut up!" I yelled angrily. " I don't know who you think you are Mr. Perfect But you are getting on my last nerve the way you are treating Bella!"
He looked away and tightened his fist.
" Ryan I know we have known each other for a while…… but I swear you don't want me as your enemy!" I threatened meaning every word. He pushed me and backed off
" Don't threaten me Sarah! I am as strong as you!" he said darkly. " This isn't about me or you! Its about Bella! She only has 2 years and doesn't deserve harsh words of jealousy from you!" I yelled with malice.
He was frozen I smiled because I knew I had hit a target. He looked as if he was about to say something but I turned my back from him and walked away giving him no respect.
3 weeks later The Day Before The Cross Academy Ball
The Theme: Masquerade!!!
" Its Here! Its Here!" Sarah beamed running into the dinning room as I ate breakfast…what now? She was carrying big Boxes…. I stood up and backed away from her. She laughed.
" silly Bella its just your dress and your accessories! it came in on time!" she sang. She grabbed my arm and
Yanked me upstairs…..to try it on! Sarah yelled as she dragged me up stairs!
Once in my room, Sarah took out all kinds of fabric that was supposed to be my dress….
Fist I had to put on a hoopskirt and corset! It was so uncomfortable!!! The Corset was the worst!
I felt like a bird trapped in a cage unable to breath. Lucky for Sarah she didn't have to breath.
The Dress was light pink with studded jewels, strapless and had layers of ruffles at the bottom.
It was beautiful! I was stunned and Sarah pushed me towards the mirror. I looked into it surprised to
Find myself looking a little older. It made me uncomfortable that I looked like the ghost that has
Accompanied me from time to time. It was like I wasn't me. But this me was so much more beautiful.
Sarah broke my train of thought as she stood behind me in the mirror.
" here it isn't complete with out a necklace." Sarah whispered and took out a diamond necklace
Sarah put in on and smiled. I breathed out to give my lungs a break and turned towards her.
" So lets see your dress" I finally said .
The Next Day
Edward would be here any minute and Sarah was pinning a part of my curled hair.
I was so nervous. Not just about Edward but going to the Ball period. And seeing Ryan.
" Stop Moving ! I'm almost…..DONE!" Sarah smiled accomplished.
She pulled my hand and we ran down the stairs…..then my heart thumped loudly as I heard a knock at the door…..
