Thanks to la mia stella, Lovely hellish princess, somerandomTwilightfan, xJAYx, 'lizz-cullen', and FrankIsMyNameIeroIsMyHero for your wonderful reviews!
I am so sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I was at a church mission trip and couldn't get ahold of a computer- no electronics were allowed (grr). Well here is chapter 7!
BPOV
Holy crap! I was going to be alone in a small room with one of the most beautiful people in this school.
We walked next to each other and I had to resist reaching out and taking hold of his hand. He led me to a room, opened the door, and I went through with Edward following close behind.
"So, Bella," Edward said as we sat down in the two chairs that occupied the room and placed our music on the stands. "Which part would you like?"
"It doesn't matter. Don't go easy on me when we audition, though. You try your hardest and I'll do the same, okay?"
"That sounds good. I thought you did pretty well out there for sight reading."
"Thanks, you too. I have one question though. When we first started the duet, it sounded like you matched my style perfectly. Was that natural or intentional?"
"Yes, we played with the same style. I thought that that was pretty cool. No, it wasn't intentional, that's how I play every day. I think that our style is basically the same. I think it's pretty cool."
"Same here. That was weird. Oh well. We now know that we play with the same style," I said. "Let's get started!" I continued with false excitement.
"Alright. You can play 1st part for now, then we can switch. Does that sound okay to you?" Edward asked politely.
"Sure," I said. We started at the beginning. We played about 15 measures until I got slightly confused. "Why does that have to be so confusing?" I whispered to myself after I messed up the sequence of notes.
"I don't know, but I know you can play it. You know the notes and the fingerings, just try again," Edward encouraged me. "I'll play it with you, if you want."
"Okay, I guess. If you want to," I replied, still embarrassed. We played through those couple of measures until I could play them almost perfectly. The one thing that I needed help on was the rhythm, not the notes. I finally got it right.
We played through the rest of the song, helping each other with fingerings and note rhythms. It turned out that Edward and I were about as skilled as each other.
"Now that we have gone through and tried to understand everything in the song, we should play it through again, just to make sure," I suggested.
"I think that is a very good idea," Edward replied.
We played through the song again, me on the first part and Edward on the second. For some reason, Edward looked angry and smug, like he was having a battle in his head. I decided to ignore it, thinking it was nothing.
"Ah 1, ah 2, ah 1 2 3 4," I counted us off. We started to play. Oh my, this was a beautiful song. We had only seen this song for about 30 or so minutes. Edward was talented!
We played through the rest of the song without major mistakes. A few wrong notes for both of us; a couple of wrong rhythms here and there, but we were always on the same beat. When we were finished with the song I asked, "So, Edward, do you play any other instruments besides the oboe or do any extra- curricular activities?"
"Well, I have played the piano for as long as I can remember. I compose songs, and my mom made me take cotillion in middle school," he answered.
"We have three things in common now."
"And what would those things be?"
"We both play the oboe, we both compose songs, and we both also have been in cotillion," I stated simply.
"You're right."
"Okay, I think we need to switch parts, just in case Mr. Muncher wants us to play the opposite parts from the ones we played earlier," I grumbled.
"Alright. Let's get started!" Edward said excitedly.
Someone's happy, I thought with a weird expression on my face. Edward had that same look that he had earlier, but his eyes had turned coal black. That's weird, I thought again. "What happened to your eyes?" I questioned.
"Nothing happened to them. Why do you think that?"
"Just a minute ago your eyes were light and happy, but now they are cold and hard. No offense," I explained.
"It's alright. Do you want to switch parts before Mr. Muncher comes to get us so we can play with the rest of the band?"
Oh no, he did not just change the subject on me, I thought. "Okay," I replied.
"Alright, let's get to it," Edward said. I flipped to the opposite part, while Edward did the same.
We played through it easily. Mr. Muncher came and retrieved us so we could play the song with the rest of the band again.
"Let's see how well they can play on opposite parts- Bella on second part and Edward on first. How does that sound?" He called out to the band. He was taunting us! Maybe he thought we only practiced the song one way! Ha! We'll show him!
Mr. Muncher counted us off, and the band played. When it was time to play the duet, I got slightly nervous because I wanted to show Mr. Muncher that we could play better than he thought, even though he thought we were good. Maybe I wanted him to think we were responsible, and could get things done without having to be told more than once.
I didn't have to worry though, Edward and I did wonderfully. We made almost no mistakes. I think Edward wanted to impress Mr. Muncher also.
When we were done with the song, Mr. Muncher told us that we could put our instruments away. I walked to my cage and Edward followed. When I got to my cage, I figured out why. His was right next to mine. As we were putting away our oboes he asked me, "what class do you have next?"
"Um, let me check." I pulled out my schedule from my back pocket and looked at it. "Physics with Mrs. Williams in room 538. And you?"
"I have the same class. Would you mind if I showed you the way?"
"Sure, no problem." When the bell rang, Edward and I walked out the door and towards room 538.
