I promise that the next few chapters after this would be the juiciest, lots of awtastic, weird, and funny stuff! Just bear with me for now! Do you still love me:/ Anyways, I really hope that you will still review for this chapter, short as it is. Or I won't get to the juicy and interesting bits! Just a hint, Edward and Bella will kiss, so, to read about their kiss, you have to review! That's it for now, read on!

"Um … Er, yeah, I am, like I said before, cross dressing is, uh, fun," Bella tried to smile confidently at me.
I chuckled lightly to myself in amusement, trying to stifle my laughter as Bella shot me a fatal glare.
"Right, nice lacing," I commented, teasing her just a little. I picked up the red bra between my index finger and thumb, swinging it in front of her face in a hypnotic fashion. One cup of the bra cupped her chin. "Red, too."
"Hey, give it back," She quickly snatched the bra back and dropped it into the box. Her blush was in full blast now as she sat down on my chair.
This amused me greatly. Her friends were so unthoughtful. What were they thinking? Sending in an underwear set to a boys' school? Did they want her expelled?
"I'm going to shower now," Bella grabbed her white bag and her towel and headed for the showers.
"Okay," I shrugged as I turned back to my piano. I could only guess what was in her secretive, white bag.
The first music exam was coming up in a week. Although I acted superior and confident of myself on the outside, I was actually restless with worry. I would need to practice and study really hard from now on.
I'd considered letting Bella know that I'd already known her secret, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. What would she think? I was spying on her in the toilets? Searching through her property? Invading her privacy?
I had to admit it to myself, I was afraid that it would ruin the mutual relationship between us. She would not have been allowed to stay any longer in this school if anyone had over heard. Odd as it is to say, I had grown accustomed to her over the past two days. She was understanding, in a silent way, and didn't pry into my private business. Of course, she had her own secret to keep.

I fumbled with the hot water and cold water taps until the water ran at a comfortable temperature. I sighed in relief as the water soothed my aching back.
As my mind started to wonder, a thought swept by. I had confirmed to Ben, Tyler and Edward that I was a cross dresser. What was I going to do now? If Ben and Tyler spread the word, I would be dead for sure. I didn't think that Edward would tell anybody. He didn't seem to have anybody to tell.
I groaned in annoyance. Alice, Rosalie, Angela, Tanya and Irina should have known better than to send me an underwearset - in a boys' school.
The first of the two music exams is coming up in about a week or so. The task was to play two musical, piano in my case, pieces. I had already had my sheets ready but I would definitely need more practice in order to do well. The theory part of the exam, which was the second part, was the one that I'm worried about. I could play, alright, but memorizing was nearly impossible for me.
I turned off the shower taps and stepped out of the showers to dry myself. I zipped on my crop top and a loose shirt over it. Dropping my towel on the toilet seat, I pulled on a pair of blue shorts.
I grabbed my towel as I opened the door. "You can shower now, Edward."
"Sure," he stopped playing as he stood up and walked over to his bed to grab his towel.
I nodded as I slowly climbed up the bunk and settled in a comfortable position on my bed.
I know, I know, it's short and you guys have been waiting for 2-3 days, but, as I'd said before, it's essential to the plot, so now you know that the first music exam is coming up! What will happen? Under what circumstances will Edward and Bella kiss? The only way to get the answer is to REVIEW!
