Author's Note: I'M BACK! Sorry it's taken me so long to update and I'm not going to make up excuses but a lot of stuffs been going on with my dad (who I don't think of as my dad anymore). Anyway, I'm not going to bore you with my problems. Okay, so some of you suggested that I do this chapter from Edward and/or Bella's POV but everytime I tried to write Edward's I wrote about one word and then hit a pillow. I'm just really bad at writing angst and sadness so I'm going to be writing this from Bella's POV because I'm better with humor and in this story Bella sort of turns to humor to deal with her pain. So, that's why this chapter may be funny, it's all I know. There may be some Cullen POV's in here later but I'm not sure. I'm writing this authors note before I've written the chapter so I'm not sure what's going to happen. I'm hoping this chapter is longer than the others, I owe it to you for waiting so long, and I'm not counting this AN. So yeah, there's a good chance that I won't write a EPOV of when they see each other, I've tried. But if I do write it one day I'll post it as an outtake. Sorry if this is really bad but I'm just getting back into the swing of it. ENJOY!
Disclaimer: I'll own Twilight when N-Dubz start singing about fluffy pink bunnies...I REALLY don't think that'll happen.
Look For Me Chapter 5: La Vie Boheme
BPOV
Yes, Emmett was scared. For a moment I thought that maybe they weren't the Cullens. That was until I saw him. All the feelings that I'd kept locked away came rushing back. The sadness, the pain. I couldn't even describe it, it took everything I had not to keel over with the intenseity of it. I suppose that's what you get when you keep something locked away. Convinced that you'll never see or feel it again but then it comes with blinding force. My family must have realised what was going on, or seen that I was in pain at the very least. They tugged me off to class, maths.
"Bell? You okay? Did you see that big guy? He ran away! HE was scared of Claudine. Little, little Claudine. WIMP!" Wesley said, trying to lighten the mood as we walked towards Mr McCarthy's room. It worked, I did laugh. But, how could I not? Someone the size of Emmett being scared of someone the size of Claudine. It was just wrong!
"Who were they anyway? I've never seen them before but you and Claudine seem to know them," asked Uma as we sat down in our seats, everyone else was already here.
"Umm......You remember me telling you about my past. Y'know, just the rough outline. About me knowing vampires when I was human....." I trailed off.
"...And them leaving you heart-broken," finished Shiraz as recognition showed on everyone faces, except Claudine that is.
"Ooh, I'm gonna burn them!" Hissed Uma, her eyes already appearing to have flames in them.
"No, we don't need a repeat of last time. Tommo will kill us, again, if he has to explain why the school fire extinguisher was used...Again!" Replied Jez.
It had happened about 5 times because Uma couldn't control her temper and had set something/someone/someone's hair on fire. In the past 10 years we'd had to move to various different areas and schools because people claimed to have been set alight by some girl cough-Uma-cough.
"HE STOLE MY COOKIE!" Yelled Uma, trying to defend herself. One thing that I've learned about Uma, is that he LOVES cookies ad if you take hers...she'll kill ya. Did I forget to mention that earlier? Oh, I did, it must have slipped my mind.
We didn't reply, arguing back was a lost cause. Instead we waited the 5 minutes until lessons wasn't long until the door opened, revealing them. The Cullens and two other vampires I'd never seen before. One of them was black [not trying to sound offenseive] with shortish black was also being oggled by Jez, I KNEW he was gay! The other was just as pale as the others and had brown short hair. He was alot smaller then the others, around Claudine size. All I could think at the moment was 'Oh bugger'. The bad thing about this school was that your form had the same lessons as you, which meant that the Cullens were in my form, oh joy! Please note the sarcasism there, I tend to do that a lot now, but hey I'm part British.
"Ah, you must be the new kids, please take your seats besides the Woods," Said Mr McCarthy as everyone stared at them.
As soon as they took their seats Mr McCarthy went back into happy mode again.
"Right, class. Settle down, it's time for maths!," He said as he clapped his hands, he always does that, "Oh, I almost forgot, I'm Mr McCarthy, for those of you who don't know," he finished.
Of course, Claudine being Claudine just had to comment,
"Yeah, we know Mike!We're your form!" She said with a smile.
"Yes, but they didn't. You always have to ruin my fun," Mr McCarthy (or Mike as we call him, it's his first name) grumbled like the child he is.
"Yeah, but your fun gets us in trouble! Now teach Maths Man, teach!" Yelled Jez, and it was true but I'm not going to get into that yet, it'd take too long to explain.
"Okay," sighed Mr M.
5 minutes passed and I was bored. Oh well. It's time for funny Bella to come out and play.
"Boggies," I whispered so low that it would be hard for a vampire to hear.
"Boggies," Wesley said a little louder, accepting my challenge.
"Boggies," Jez said louder, still not loud enough for human ears though.
"Boggies," Said Shiraz, still getting louder.
"Boggies," Uma said, almost loud enough for humans to hear.
I could feel the weird stares the Cullens were giving us, but I was used to it.
"Boggies," Said Claudine this time, loud enough for humans to hear.
"Boggies!" I half yelled, knowing that Claudine would not back down.
"Boggies!" Challenged Claudine. We both knew what was coming next.
"BOGGIES!" We - all us Woods - yelled, making everyone except the Cullens to laugh.
What can I say, we like Dick & Dom.
"You guys watch way too much Dick & Dom," said Megan as she turned to us.
"We know, we might do the pants dance soon," I replied.
"No, 'cos Mr M might join in."
"You're probably right, Meg," said Claudine.
"HEY! That was one time!" Yelled Mr McCarthy from the front of the class. This spurred on another round of laughter, still the Cullens did not join in. They're just weird.
This coming from you Bella?
Shut up little voice inside my head! I told yo to go away last time. Say what you like, I'm insane. I know I am, I choose to be this way. Don't ask me why because I don't know.
When the laughter died down we finally got some work done, leaving us with 10 minutes before the bell went.
"Hey, Diddy Claudine?" I said, everyone turned to look at me and her.
"Yes Diddy Bella?" She replied, knowing what I was getting at.
"Should we sing the song of the Mighty Gods?"
"Yes, yes we shall," was all she said before we both sang.....
We're diddy Dick and Dom, Welcome to our cupboard.
We've been here all our lifes, And never been discovered.
We might be small,
But we've both got big hearts.
It's all right here,
So long as no one *blows rasberry*
(At this point Jez blew a rasberry for the 'farts' bit)
There's no room to swing a cat.
And barely room to hang your hat.
But there's no need to push and shove.
'Cos we've got Cupboard Love.
Cupboard Love,
Cupboard Love.
It ain't no palace,
But It fits like a glove.
There's no need to push and shove.
'Cos we've got a cupboard,
Like Old Mother Hubbard.
Yes, we've got Cupboard Love!
"Wasn't that fun Diddy Claudine?" I said whilst everyone laughed.
"It was more than fun, Diddy Bella! Now, over to Diddy Jez and Diddy Wesley for 'We Like Prawn Balls'," anounced Claudine as everyone turned to Jez and Wesley.
They started to sing....
*slow*
We all like prawn balls,
And sweet chili dips.
But nothing's a good as,
Our mum's beans and chips....
*faster*
A million people everyday,
Open a tin of beans and say,
Beans means *blows rasberry*
Before we could do anymore of our comedy show the bell went, signaling it was time for geography.
[I'm going to skip geography 'cos I HATE it and lets face it, nothing funny ever happens in it.]
It was lunch. Our school was weird like that, having lunch after the first two lessons and then a brake after the fourth lesson. So anyway, here we were, all my form - including the Cullens, who were staring at me like I was the most interesting thing they'd ever seen - around one table, a very big table might I add. I looked to my right and saw the look on Shiraz's face. Something told me she was going to put on a show for our new arrivals.
"Hey guys!" she yelled to get everyones attention, "Three words. La Vie Boheme!" That was all she needed to say for us (everone except the Cullens) to understand...... [They learned their names in geography, I'll do it next chapter]
JPOV (Jasper)
The feelings coming off of the other vampires told me that they were planning something.
"I think we're in for a show," I told my family, just as the Woods stood up...
[Uma] Who died?
[Jez] Our Akita
[Everyone] Evita
[Jez]You make fun, yet I'm the one,
Attempting to do some good
Or do you really want a neighborhood
Where people piss on your stoop every night?
Bohemia, Bohemia's
A fallacy in your head
This is Calcutta
Bohemia is dead
Jez sang as he walked around the table, everyone but us looked like they were used to it, which they probably were. When I say everyone, I mean our form, everyone else felt shocked but were enjoying it.
[Wesley]Dearly beloved We gather here to say our goodbyes (Dies irae, dies illa)
Here she lies (Kyrie eleison)
(Yitgadal v'yitkadash)
No one knew her worth The late great daughter of Mother Earth
On these nights when we celebrate the birth
Wesley sang as he climbed on the table, trying not to step on anyones food. He failed.
In that little town of Bethlehem
We raise our glass, you bet your ass to
La vie boheme
[Uma, Bella, Shiraz & Claudine]
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
[Wesley]
To days of inspiration, playing hooky, making something out of nothing
The need to express, to communicate
To going against the grain, going insane, going mad
To loving tension, no pension, to more than one dimension
To starving for attention hating convention, hating pretension
Not to mention of course hating dear old mom and dad
To riding your bike midday past the three piece suits
To fruits, to no absolutes
To Absolut, to choice, to the Village Voice
To any passing fad
To being an us'
for once
Instead of a them'
La vie boheme
La vie boheme
At that point Bella and Claudine joined Wesley on the table.
[Bella]
Hey mister, she's my sister
[Jez]
So that's five miso soup
Four seaweed salad
Three soy burger dinner
Two tofu dog platter
And one pasta with meatless balls?
Sang Jez in a gay voice and acting like a waiter.
[Wesley]
Ew
[Jez]
It tastes the same
[Bella]
If you close your eyes
[Jez]
An' thirteen orders of fries
Is that in here?
[Everyone]
Wine and beer!
[Claudine & Bella]
To hand crafted beers made in local breweries
To yoga, to yogurt, to rice and beans and cheese
To leather, to dildos to curry vindaloo
To huevos rancheros and Maya Angelou
[Uma & Shiraz]
Emotion, devotion, to causing a commotion
Creation, vacation,
[Jez]
mucho masturbation
Was it just me or did Jez look at us when he sang that? Yes, I thought so. Weird.
[U & S]
Compassion, to fashion, to passion when it's new
To Sontag, to Sondheim, to anything taboo
[J & W]
Ginsberg, Dylan, Cunningham and Cage Lenny Bruce, Langston Hughes,
to the stage
To Uta, to Buddha, Pablo Neruda, too
Why Dorothy and Toto went over the rainbow
To blow off auntie Em
La vie boheme
[S]
Sisters?
[B & C]
We're close
[J & W]
Brothers!
[All]
Bisexuals, trisexuals, homo sapiens
Carcinogens, hallucinogens, men,
Pee Wee Herman German wine, turpentine,
Gertrude Stein Antonioni, Bertolucci, Kurosawa, Carmina Burana
To apathy, to entropy, to empathy, ecstasy Vaclav Havel, The Sex Pistols, 8BC
To no shame never playing the fame game

[U & S]
To sodomy, it's between god and me To S&
[W]
Waiter, waiter, waiter
La vie boheme
Waiter
In honor of the death of Bohemia
An impromptu salon will commence immediately following dinner Shiraz Wood, just back from her spectacular one-night engagement
At The Eleventh Street Lot Will perform Native American tribal chants, backwards
Through her vocoder, while accompanying herself on the electric cello
Which she ain't never studied
[B]
And Jez Wood will preview his new documentary
About his inability to hold an erection on the high holy days
[J]
And Bella Wood, clad only in bubble wrap
Will perform her famous lawn chair handcuff dance
To the sounds of iced tea being stirred
And Claudine will attempt to write a bittersweet, evocative song
......That doesn't remind us of Musetta's Waltz
Uma Wood will model the latest fall fashions from Paris
While accompanying herself on the 10 gallon plastic pickle tub
And Wesley will recount his exploits as an anarchist
Including the tale of his successful reprogramming Of the M.I.T. virtual reality equipment
To self-destruct as it broadcast the words
[All]
Actual reality, act up, fight AIDS
[B]
Excuse me, did I do something wrong?
I get invited, then ignored all night long
[J]
I've been trying, I'm not lying
No one's perfect, I've got baggage

And with that, they just all sat down as if nothing ever happened.
"Does this always happen?" I heard Emmett ask Daniel, one of his new friends.
"Eh, every now and then. But we enjoy it," he replied.
The others were just as stunned as I was. Part of it was because they'd just broke out into song in the middle of the canteen, the other part was because they were really good. And I mean better than most vampires. Who knew insanity and singing mixed?
I hope you enjoyed it. I may or may not have mentioned before but I really have no idea where this story is going, I'm just winging it. All the oufits are on my profile (not the boys) 'cos I'm really rubbish at describing things and it's easier to just see them. I have a new poll up on my profile about who is your favourite vampire in Bella's coven. Any idea's would be gratefully apricated (SP?) because as I've said before I'm a bit lost in this. Also, I apologise for the way Bella acts in this chapter, it is OOC but that is (in this story) how she deals with pain, she turns to humor. It will become more apparant (SP?) in the following chapters that she is hurting. I really suggest you watch the video clip for this song because the way they act it out is the way I wanted to write it but I went a bit wrong. The song is 'La Vie Boheme A/B' - RENT. I hope I didn't disapoint (Sp?) you I will update when I get 6+ reviews (only 1 more than the last time I asked) and it's not much.
