The dance classroom was just like any other. There was a long, wall length, ceiling height mirror on one wall with a barre that was arm length to most of the dancers, except one. She was about 4'10" with black spiky hair. She was also paler than most of the people here. I recognized her from lunch. She was Alice Cullen. She looked at me like she knew I was going to be there. That's weird. She ran up to me like I was an old friend. "Hello, you must be Bella Swan. My name is Alice. I saw you at lunch," she introduced.
"It's nice to meet you, Alice." Wow, news around here travels fast.
I turned away from Alice to Mrs. Cheese. "Hi, my name is Isabella Swan," I said, handing her my slip. She signed it and handed it back to me.
"So, Isabella, do you have any dance clothes to wear today?" She asked politely.
"I don't have all of them today, but I have jazz pants. I can get more appropriate clothing for tomorrow, just tell me what I need to bring," I answered.
"You will need a black leotard with cap sleeves, pink tights-footed or footless, jazz, ballet, and tap shoes. Oh, and a pair of black shorts," Mrs. Cheese ticked off the items on her fingers.
I nodded to her. "Thanks."
"You can sit out today and watch us, but only for today, or you can try to learn our combo, it's your choice. If you are going to dance, change now. Class will start soon. By the way, I'm glad to have you in my class." She turned to her computer, checking her e-mail, I suppose.
"I think I can try to learn the dance you are working on now," I answered.
"Alright, get changed then." I walked over to the corner of the room where there wasn't anyone changing. Luckily I had brought a pair of dance pants just in case; I knew I would want to be in a dance class. After about 30 seconds of searching, I found them, at the bottom of my backpack. I slipped off my jeans and stepped into my jazz pants. They were smooth and comfortable, not tight, but not too loose. I didn't have any shoes, but I would be fine.
"Class, we have a new student today; her name is Isabella Swan. Will you come up and introduce yourself?" Mrs. Cheese announced. I was embarrassed. I wasn't one to talk about myself in front of people, much less tell them that I might be better than them.
"Um, I'm Bella. I just moved here from Phoenix, Arizona. I really like to dance, and I hope to get to know everyone here." I made a quick introduction then walked to the back of the room. I was slightly embarrassed that I couldn't think of anything better to say. Oh well, at least it was over with.
"Okay, class, stretch while I take roll then we will get started." Mrs. Cheese went to her computer. I stretched my legs as much as I could, then my back. About three minutes later, Mrs. Cheese grabbed the class' attention. "Alright everyone, beginning position. Bella wants to learn the dance, so we should let her see the whole thing. Bella, you can stand at the front and watch. Music's on."
I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
I watched as the class started dancing. The person who stood out to me was Alice. She seemed to float across the floor. I don't think that I have seen someone so graceful in my life. She was so light on her feet; it was like they didn't touch the floor. She was the most graceful person in the classroom. She stood out from the rest of the girls. She was definitely different than the rest of them. I just didn't know how.
Alice looked so happy. The other girls looked like this was a hard dance, or they didn't like the class. She was smiling like she couldn't be any happier. I was confused when I saw that her eyes were closed. How could someone dance with their eyes closed? This girl, Alice, was unbelievably talented.
"Okay, I guess that we can split up into groups of two or three and work on things that you don't understand. But, Alice, I would like you to work with Bella for me please. You can teach her the dance," Mrs. Cheese said after the class had finished dancing to what they knew.
Alice came over to me, obviously excited. "So, how do you like Forks so far?" she asked.
"I guess it's alright. Do you know how long this dance is supposed to be?"
"I don't know, maybe the whole song. I think it's like four minutes. Will you be okay with that?"
Yes! No one minute dances to learn! "I'll be okay. I like long dances."
"Good. Let's get to work." Alice proceeded to teach me the dance. I got an idea.
"Hey. Alice?" I stopped her teaching.
"Yeah?" she answered.
"Do you think we could add to the dance, like you and I do a little duet together?"
"That would be cool, but we should probably ask Mrs. Cheese first. I'll go do that." Alice walked up to Mrs. Cheese. I couldn't hear them talking, but Mrs. Cheese seemed to like what Alice was saying. Alice skipped back to me with the biggest possible smile you could have on. "She said we could, though the other girls might not like it, but who cares!"
"Sweet! Now I just need to learn the dance, but that won't take long." I was exceedingly happy.
Alice spent the rest of the class teaching me. I have to admit, there were some things that were complex, but I liked a challenge.
About 5 minutes before class ended Mrs. Cheese said that we could dress back into our regular clothes. After I put my jeans back on, I walked up to Alice, who was standing all by herself. "So, when can we get together so we can choreograph our dance?" I asked.
"What do you think about tomorrow?"
"That sounds great."
Just after the bell rang, Mrs. Cheese called, "class dismissed!"
Alice waited for me to leave, and then asked, "What is your next class?"
I looked through my bag for my schedule and looked at it. "I have study hall with Mrs. Eyre. I think that is the stupidest class yet."
"Well, the good thing about it is you can do some of your homework, that way you don't have to do it at home."
"You have a point there."
"Well, I guess that I will see you later?"
"Yeah. Bye."
"Bye," Alice called as she walked in the opposite direction.
The song that they are dancing to is called Viva la Vida by Coldplay. I don't own that. I just used it.
