Previously: I tried to sit up straight but something prevented me. I looked down and saw a pair of arms around my waist. I frowned. Those were definitely not mine. I looked beside me and saw Edward asleep his arms tightly around me. Oh no !

Auditions

Edward started to stir. My eyes widened. He opened his eyes and looked up at me puzzled. I thought I would try and be funny.

"Hello sleeping beauty." I smiled at him. He answered with a dazzling smile of his own and snickered, "Good morning." I looked down at his arms and back up at him.

"oh, sorry." he mumbled.

"It's fine," I said as he unwound his arms. I secretly wished that he hadn't taken his arms off but what can I do.

******************

We laughed and talked the rest of the way home. And after about an hour we arrived.

I found my car still parked at school and waited for Esme. Esme gave Carlisle a few chaste kisses and then she made her way over to where I stood by my car. By the time I finished dropping off Esme and got home, Alice was putting supper on the table.

After dinner I went up to my room to finish my homework.

I was halfway through math when my door flew open. Tanya walked in and sat down on my bed. I was confused Tanya and I don't get along... at all. Obviously !

"I saw what you did too Edward today."

"That was rude you don't just walk into someones room... you knock first." I turned back to my work, ignoring her.

"Oh come on Ug," Ug? What was does that stand for. I laughed in my head until I realized Ug was probably short for Ugly. The smile came right off my face.

"So what's the deal? I need dirt on Edward! Let's gossip!" I froze, what the hell ? Something was up.

"Why should I gossip with you? You hate me!"

"So even if I do hate you doesn't mean we can't gossip !" She squealed excitedly.

"Out of my room." I said pointing to the door.

"Fine you are soo pushy." she said in a prissy tone. I rolled my eyes all I said was out of my room... okay maybe I was a tad pushy. But whatever I didn't like her so I don't care if I'm pushy towards her or not. I went on for a good ten minutes before I realized that I was being ridiculous. I should really stop thinking now.

I cleared my head and made my way over to my bed. I laid down and closed my eyes.

I woke up next morning and realized today was audition rehearsals. Seriously could drama class be any more hard core. I mean audition rehearsals? Whatever. She said she was only choosing certain people maybe I wouldn't be chosen. Ha! Not with my luck.

I arrived at the school no later then ten minutes. I had drama first.... great ! I rolled my eyes. I collected my books and went to sit by the cafeteria. I walked over to building four and sat down underneath the cafeteria roof. I took out my book and started to read. I had only been reading for ten minutes when I realized Esme was sitting beside me. I looked up at her.

"Haha, hi!" I giggled. She laughed at me as I got up and slipped. Luckily I was caught but not by the soft muscular gentle arms that I loved.

"Careful Bella." Carlisle laughed as he steadied me. I smile at him and thanked him before me and Esme had to get to drama. I started to walk to the room but when I turned around and saw not only Esme but also Carlisle following me I became confused.

"Carlise aren't you going to construction?"

"No, I switched into drama." He answered as he put his arm around Esme's waist and smiled. I automatically knew why. Esme. Carlisle could be so predictable sometimes We made our way into the room and found that no one was there. Weird. If they weren't here that meant that they were probably at the theater in building 2. I told Carlisle and Esme to follow me as we made our way out the door.

We walked into building 2 and saw that the stage was set up and the spot lights were on. Oh no this was not a good sign.
Sure enough I was right and as we took our seats got up on stage. " As you know, auditions are tomorrow, so we don't have a lot of time for you to practice. And I was hoping that anyone with musical talent could come up here give us a show and some tips." Tanya stood up immediately and went over to the stage. She got up and grabbed a mic. The music started and so did she as she sang ' It's all about me.' How ironic! To tell you the truth she actually wasn't that bad. You could even say she was good, but I didn't go that far.

She finished her song and the whole class stood up except for me . Mrs. Keyes walked up to the start of the stage and congratulated Tanya, she had an amazing voice. Blah blah. Oh she also said she'd keep an eye out for her. "Anyone else ?" Mr. Carlin nice to see you again. How was camp ?" Carlisle blushed but answered, "It was fine thanks." He got up on stage and took the mic. He started to sing and HOLY SHIT Carlisle?He was good ! I looked over at Esme and she was surprised. Carlisle jumped off stage while singing and walked over to Esme. She giggled as he looked straight into her eyes. He finished the song and everyone stood up. Carlisle didn't care his attention was directed toward Esme. They embraced each other and Esme gave him a chaste kiss before sitting down.

"Well before the bell rings I want each and every one of you to take a little pamphlet of a character that you might want to tryout for. Don't worry if you haven't memorized the whole monologue then you may use it for your audition." Tanya took a lead pamphlet. I felt hot and angry. I wouldn't let her be center of attention again and let her be the lead again! I knew she would just torment me. But then again I didn't want to be the center of attention either So before I knew what I was doing I grabbed a lead pamphlet. I exhaled as I walked out of drama class.

******************

|Finally! RING RING. It was lunch. I gathered my books and went to my locker. I dropped them off and headed toward the cafeteria where I saw Carlisle and Esme in our usual spot. But there was a third head at our seat. Oh no ! It wasn't just any head. It was the head of The Infamous Edward Cullen ! I took in a breath and walked over to our table ( I managed not to fall !) . "Hey guys! Carlisle Esme. Edward." I greeted them and kept my cool even though every time I was near Edward I always did something wrong. And something always felt funny like I was there when he was a baby. And the way our parents act it's kinda weird. I shook the thoughts from my head as I came back down to reality. " Carlisle, I just have to say WOW you were amazing during tryouts first period." I smiled at him as he laughed. " Thanks Bells." I sat down in between Edward and Esme and we started to talk about the part and songs we were going to do. I found that Carlisle didn't want to tryout for the lead but instead Edward did. I never heard Edward sing but I figured that no one could be better than Carlisle. The bell rang signaling the end of what seemed to be a short lunch and I slowly headed off to biology.

******************

I woke up and took a quick shower. After my hair was dry and I was dressed I made my way over to the Windowsill with my book I still had a half hour before I had to go to school. I drew back the curtains, opened the window and looked out into the rising sun. Something caught my eye and I looked over to the window right across from me. I saw Edward. EDWARD WAS MY NEIGHBOR?! No ! What? How could I not know ! I've been living here for how long. And then I remembered that night that I first moved in. A boy saw me fall from my roof. I gasped loudly. Edward. Green eyes, pale skin. Perfect hair. OH God. My eyes widened, Edward was slowly turning around. Shit what do I do. I spun around and tried to make my way over to my bed. But unfortunately for me my foot was caught in a bunch of my cables so when I spun around most of my electronics came crashing down on me as I fell.

There was a big crash and I groaned. " Are you alright ? I heard someone call. " Yes. Go away." I called back. He chuckled but followed my wishes.

It took at least ten minutes to sort out my cables and electronics and by the time I had finished I was running late. I ran down the stairs grabbed my keys and headed for the door. " Bye mom, bye dad." I yelled as I left the house. I jumped in my car and drove to school. This was going to be a long day.

*******************
(sorry everyone I go a little High School Musical on you hope you don't mind)
Time for auditions Yay!. Ugh this was my least favorite part of the whole process. And it was even wore that Tanya was going to be there Oh well. I guess I'll just have to suck it up. I know I can do it Tanya is NOT getting that lead.

Tanya POV


"I am so getting that lead." I whispered to Lauren. " There is no way that I am letting my stupid loser cousin win the part. Now remember she has an amazing voice, even though mine is obviously better I still don't want to risk it. Have you got the mic?" Lauren nodded. " Excellent. Okay Lauren since your auditions are tomorrow I want you to hand Bella this mic when it's her turn to sing got it ?"
"Yes Tanya , I got it . You are so getting the part !" I flipped my hair. " Oh I already knew I was getting the part I'm just making sure no one will be able to steal it. I'll see you later the others should be arriving soon." I walked off the stage and took a seat in the stands while Lauren scurried off to hide backstage. The doors banged open and 8 students along with Mrs. Keyes piled in. This was going to be easy.

BPOV

I took a seat next to Edward. I looked around and saw Tanya up at the front with four other guys. I rolled my eyes. called us to order and gave us a few announcements.

"First off I will post up the results tomorrow since the other students auditioned yesterday instead. And secondly once you are done you must leave ! No hiding behind the doors nothing If I catch you, your out of the play. Is that clear?" She waited a few seconds. "Good. Now lets begin. Tanya your up first." Tanya got on stage and told everyone she'd be singing Part of your World. She smirked in my direction. That was my song choice. I looked over at Edward and he looked at me, he looked angry. She finished her song and Mrs. Keyes looked pleased. "Well done Tanya you may go." Tanya left with her head held high. She made me so mad. The four guys sitting with Tanya all went in turn and so did the two other girls that took the chance to auditions for the lead. Then there was just me and Edward. Edward went before me and I was relieved. I didn't want him to hear me. Talk about embarrassing. I don't even know if I'm that good. Edward got up on stage and took the mic. As soon as he started to sing my heart fluttered. OH MY GOD. I'm sorry Carlisle but Edward kicks your ass ! Edwards velvety voice sounded soothing and beyond perfect. My jaw hung open as I sat there and watched him. His song ended and he made his way over to me to get his bag. He leaned down and whispered in my ear. "you can close your mouth now Bella." He chuckled and walked away. "Bella . Your up." I got up on stage and Lauren gave me the mic. I figured she got detention and that was her penalty. Whatever It's not like I cared right ?

"I'm gonna sing Cruelle DeVil. If thats okay." "It's excellent dear go on."
I started to sing. And I looked at Mrs. Keyes she had pained look on her face. Was I really that bad?

I didn't even finish my song when she stopped me. "Thats enough Miss Hale please." I nodded got off the stage and left the building.
I got to my house and drove home. I did my homework ate supper and went to bed. I had a bad feeling about tomorrow.

*******************

RING RING! Lunchtime. I made my way over to the bulletin board where Mrs. Keyes put up the results for the musical. Edward, Esme and Carlisle were right beside me. I found Edward's name, he got the lead. I turned to him and congratulated him. Esme and Carlisle also got the parts that they wanted. And now it was up to me. I found my name and dragged my finger across.

ISBELLA HALE................... (lead) UNDERSTUDY

Great Tanya got the part. Edward turned towards me. " That's shit Bella you're a way better singer then her you should have gotten the part." He was disgusted. "Whatever it's just a play let's go eat." I dragged them to our normal table. We only had ten minutes left. If what Edward said was true then I am going to have a talk with Mrs. Keyes after school.

"Mrs. Keyes?" I walked into the theater building. I saw her turn around in her chair. "yes, Mrs. Hale?"
"Mrs. Keyes I think that maybe you got th standings wrong I believe that I had a much better voice the what I-" "Mrs. Hale your jealousy is not helping you. Some of you contain the skill and talent of music while other . Do not. You my dear fall into the category of not. I'm sorry but maybe you could work on the set. Have a good night Mrs. Hale." She turned the lamp off and left. I walked down the aisle and sat on the edge of the stage. Was it true? Did I have no musical talent? Why did Edward lie to me ? Why would he let me embarrass myself further? I leaned back and laid down leaving my feet dangling over the edge of the stage. The doors opened and I looked up. Edward who was drenched came in. he took off his coat and made his way over to me. " Hey ." I said weakly. He did not smile but still responded with a hey.

"Bella. I want you to sing for me." I frowned. "Why I have ' No musical talent' " "Bella you do trust me, just sing please." I sighed as he took the piano and started to play Cruella DeVil. I sang Acapella and as the song went on I began to enjoy myself moving around more I even sat by Edward as he played. I felt free.

" This vampire bat this inhuman beast she ought to be locked up and never released
The world was such a wholesome place until
Cruella Cruella DeVil
Cruella Cruella DeViiilllll"
I was facing him as he finished the last few cords my chest was heaving up and down. Edward turned toward me as his fingers slid off the keys. His eyes kept moving from my eyes to my lips. If only he would kiss me. But that would be wrong he is one of my closest friends. He leaned in and I froze. Instead of kissing me he gave me a big hug I exhaled and returned the hug. Clapping came from somewhere in the audience. stood up. "It appears that I was wrong about you Mrs. Hale. Congratulations. You got the part." I let out a little squeal and threw my arms around Edward again. "Don't forget to turn out the lights when your done." Mrs. Keyes called as she left, for good this time.

Hehe how cute. Well I really hope that you enjoyed it Aren't Tanya and Lauren just a real piece of work ?
