Rehearsal

Bpov

Edward and I arrived at the school and parked at the back seeing as that would be where the only door open for the kids involved in the musical is. We walked hand in hand down the hallway to the music room, both with goofy grins on our faces. We were fifteen minutes early so we just sat down next to Carlisle, Esme and Tanya.

"Morning." I said excitedly as Edward pulled me down into his lap, his arms caging my waist.

"Morning Bella! My you are in quite the good mood." Esme said while nudging me with her elbow and winking at me. "Anything interesting happen?" Tanya added wiggling her eyebrows. I looked down and blushed.

"You guys suck." They all laughed at me and glared at them. They were always laughing at me.

"Edward! Carlisle come here for a sec!" The choreographer called. Edward pushed me off his lap and kissed my cheek.

"I'll be right back." Dammit I knew that as soon as the boys left I would be bombarded with questions. Tanya and Esme watched as the boys left our little circle. Once they were out of hearing distance they pounced.

"Spill ! We know something happened ! You are never a morning person and this morning you are all smiles! Did he get it in or something?" Tanya whispered, slightly freaking out.

I blushed a little as I processed what she just said.

"Omg! No ! Nothing like that!" I got out, embarrassed at the thought.

"Then what happened?" Esme pushed.

I then sat there and told them all about our date, leaving out what exactly Edward and I talked about while we sat on the bench.

"And then he asked me to be his girlfriend. . . and I said yes." I said shrinking back. Here it comes. Tanya and Esme squealed and hugged me. I think I became temporarily deaf, those girls were loud. They stopped attacking me and looked around. Everyones eyes were on us. Oh lord. In true Bella fashion I blushed.

"Nothing to see here! Move along." Esme yelled while Tanya and I giggled. I know what you are thinking, how am I going to be able to be on stage as a lead where attention is supposed to be directed at me for most of the show when I blush from copious amounts of attention? Well the answer is simple. It's different when I don't want the attention, which in most cases is what happens when I am Bella Hale, but as my character on stage I am in a different mindset, and It is easier to handle the attention. Because I'm not Bella in that moment, I'm the character that I am acting as. I know it sounds weird but hey it works! And it also helps that Edward is there with me to keep me calm.

"Alright everyone gather around." Mrs. Keyes called out. "Now as you know we have two weeks left before we are on stage! So today is our first run through! Alright let's get this started!"

I went over to the bed that was placed on my 'stage' as the orchestra started the overture. It ended and I pretended to sleep as Esme came on stage.

"Katie come on get up, get up, get up ! It's our first day as seniors and I don't want to be late!"

"Rachel, go away." I moaned tiredly as I looked over at my clock. "It's not even six thirty!"

"I don't care! Get up so I can make you gorgeous! I heard we got a new student today. I can't wait to see him! I hope he is cute." Esme and I continued on with our scene until our side of the stage went dim and the other half lit up to show Edward and Carlisle.

"Come on cousin. It's your first day of your last year. And you are starting over don't whine just embrace it !" Carlisle exclaimed.

"Why should I embrace it? I don't even wanna be here. It was never my choice to move in with you. I left everything I cared about behind! My house, my friends. The girl I loved!" Edward said as he executed his blocking.

"Come one man, just please give this place a try." Carlisle said before exciting. Edward and I started to sing the opening song. Not ackwknolegding each other. Our voices harmonized perfectly. I finished the song off as Edward walked off stage. A car horn is blasted from off stage.

"Coming!" I grabbed my stuff and ran off stage. The music starts to play during the black out as there is a scene change and we are now in a classroom. We pretend to learn as Edward sits on the other side of the room from me. I keep staring at him and I lean down to whisper in Esme's ear.

"Is that him?" I gasp. She giggles.

"Yup. Why? You like what you see."

I shove her gently "Oh shut up." We smile at each other as Edward looks over at us. We stop and turn back to face the front. A bell rings and we get up and walk to the hallway of lockers on the other side of the stage.

"Katie. Why don't you just take a chance! Do something rebellious for once. You are too good and you're gunna bust if you don't take a risk! Maybe try going for the new kid. He looks like fun." I scowled at her.

"Rachel risks lead to trouble and I can't afford trouble. And based on how the new guy is dressed and acts I'm thinking thats all he does is create trouble. Now I've got art I'll see you later." I walk off to the new art room.

I start painting something as Edward walks in and sits beside me.

"Hey there sexy." I look at him and roll my eyes.

"What do you want?" I ask turning back to my painting.

"Just to look at you, maybe take you out on a date." I stop and look at him.

"Really, well I'm sorry. . ."

"Carter."

"Well I'm sorry Carter, but I don't date guys like you."

"Guys like me eh? What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means that I tend to stay away from arrogant jerks who want nothing more then to cause trouble."

"What makes you think I do that? You don't even know me."

"Then tell me otherwise. Am I wrong?" The lines are flowing smoothly between us two. "Exactly." The bell rings.

"Now excuse me."

The rest of the run goes smoothly as the cast has fun and we get through it flawlessly. Mrs. Keyes is ecstatic!

"Alright everyone, quiet down, quiet down! I know we're all excited! And we should be! We are in great shape for still having two weeks. Now tomorrow we will run act one. And tuesday act two. Wednesday you get a break. Thursday will be music with the orchestra and friday will be choreography! Now you are all free to go ! Have a great evening and see you tomorrow." Edward wrapped his arm around my shoulder as we walked out to his car. Tanya, Esme, Edward, Carlisle and I all went out to a little restaurant. It was nice, classy and probably expensive. As we sat down a really cute boy came and took our orders, he had dirty blond hair and brown eyes and was tanned. He only had eyes for Tanya.

"Hi, I'm Derek and I'll be taking your order today. What would y'all like to drink or are you all ready to order?" We all nodded and gave our orders. "And you miss?" He was staring intensely at Tanya. She blushed. "Chicken Parmesan please." He smiled a her, revealing cute dimples.

We all laughed as we ate our meals. We were all stressed out from this and were glad that we were getting some time to relax. We all paid seperately and were about to go our own ways when our server called for Tanya. "Excuse me miss but you forgot this." He handed her her wallet and smiled.

"Thank you." Tanya whispered while blushing and stuck the wallet in her purse.

Esme and I hooked our arms in hers and I fished out her wallet.

"What are you doing?" she exclaimed. I searched through it and found a piece of paper.

"HA! I knew it !" I yelled. And gave her a piece of paper with his number on it. Tanya blushed.

"Well he was cute." We threw our heads back and laughed. The boys followed us shaking their heads.

So its a short one I know ! But hey It's something! I would absolutely love reviews they are what motivates me to write just like most authors. I've been having a crazy year so far and honestly the only reason I'm able to actually getting some writing done is because I'm on spring break. But I hope you guys bear with me on this! Let me know what you guys think !
