Hey guys! I know it's taken me forever to update, but i was in the hospital and i haven't been well enough to write. But i'm back now and so is another update!

This chapter is short, no need to tell me, i already know. I just wanted to update for you guys. =D

I hope you enjoy!

I smiled at Alice as she went back to her seat, to my complete and utter surprise I had a friend! I sighed to myself as the teacher walked back in to the room.

"Okay! Calm down!" he shouted, raising his hands in the air.

Everyone went quiet and he smiled, "So, instead of letting you pick your plays from a hat, I've decided to be nice and pick them for you depending on what I think you'll be best at, so I want you to come down, tell me your name and your partner. Then I'll give you your play and what room you will be in for the rest of the day…" he said calmly, as everyone started to lift their bags.

Alice grabbed my arm, "Hey, I'll meet you at the cafeteria at lunch, we can sit together…" she whispered in my ear.

I smiled and nodded as I walked down the steps and got to the teacher.

"Um, Bella Swan and Edward… Edward Cullen…" I said, looking at his list discretely.

"Yes... Your piece is Wuthering Heights and you are in Audition Room 5… Just go out the door, to your left and the fifth door down…" he said smiling considerately at me.

I nodded and tried to smile back, but the swarm of butterflies in my stomach had forbidden it. I followed the sea of students out the doors. It didn't take me long to find the room and my fingers stalled on the door knob. I took a long, deep breath and opened it slowly.

Edward stood with his back to me, looking out the window. I took the time to take in my surroundings. My hell that I'd be sharing with the devil for the next five months.

It was quite a big room. There was a stage to the right of the door, an empty space in the middle where there were four chairs scattered in the centre and at the back of the room there was two rows of seats.

I put my bag down and took another deep breath. I wasn't going to act the shy, nervous girl that he could trample over. I was going to be just as cocky as him, and show him that he couldn't walk all over me.

I watched as he turned around and as soon as he looked at me my defiant façade disappeared.

His strong, cocky manner knocked the sure girl out of me and left behind the fragile, nervous girl.

His eyes narrowed as he looked me up and down, "I'm Edward…" he said in a musical voice.

"B-Bella…" I replied through a dry mouth.

He walked towards me, with a book in his hands. As he got nearer I realised just how tall he was. Compared to my five feet four inches he was at least six foot.

He looked down at me and handed me the book, "Wuthering Heights, we have to decide what part we are going to do…" he said coldly.

I looked down at the book, but the letters were jumbled up and the cover made no sense to me.

"You can read, right?" he asked in an intentionally harsh tone, "They did teach you that at… Yates High? Right?" he said the name with disgust.

I felt the anger and tears both building up in my chest, I looked up at him and felt my jaw go tight, "Yes, I can read… Probably better than you too. You see at proper schools, we don't have someone there to hold our hands and read for us, we do it ourselves and we do it well…" I said as coldly as I could.

He stared at me in shock for a long moment, his eyes narrowed as the cruelty entered his features, "Listen…" he said stabbing a finger near my face, "If this didn't affect my career as much as it does, I would ruin you… And don't think I couldn't do it." He spoke with a harsh, cruel undertone, so callously it made me shiver.

I felt my breathing get caught in my throat and the tears began to well up in my eyes. I looked back down at the book and tried to speak, "We'd best get started…" I mumbled.

He laughed quietly, it was a sarcastic and evil laugh, and I tried to keep my eyes off him.

He sat in a seat and lifted his own book. I went to a chair and sat down quietly.

"We should probably do one of the tougher scenes. Challenge ourselves a bit more… But if you don't think you're up for it…" he said heartlessly.

I kept my eyes on the book, "I can do it…" I mumbled.

"Fine, what were you thinking?" he asked sarcastically.

"Well," I answered seriously, "I was thinking we could have a scene at the beginning, showing the audience their love for each other, then we could bring together the kitchen scene when Cathy declares her love for Heathcliff and when Heathcliff leaves, and then we could have the scene when he comes back and we could finish with when Cathy is about to die and Heathcliff comes to visit her…" I said flicking through the book. I could feel his eyes on me, I got the courage and I lifted my head to look at him.

He was staring at me with surprised and unfathomable eyes, "You've read this book?" he asked.

"Yes…" I nodded, "It's one of my favourites, haven't you read it?" I asked, surprised at how we weren't at each other's throats.

He nodded, "Yes… I've read it too…"

I nodded and looked back at the book, "So, what do you think? Do you want to add anything in?" I asked.

"No, you covered all the main points in their relationship. And those scenes will probably bring out the best in us…" he said looking at me with deep eyes.

Please review and tell me what you think!
