Dust

I missed out from school today cause I wouldn't make it.
I just won't.
The fact that Gabrielle wouldn't be there was my pain.
I don't want to talk to anyone.

After I ate breakfast I checked my in box and I had an Email from Gabrielle.
I hurried and clicked on it.

From: Gabbie-L
To: Bella
Subject: Lovin it but missing you.

Hey Bella. Ohio is GREAT! It's very pretty here. I'm going to this school called Lyndon B. Johnson Academy. It's private like Anastasia. They have Glee club! I over heard them and they are really good. I miss you very much. I literally cry my self to sleep every night. I went to home depot to buy paint for my walls. I thinking a teal color. Or purple... I dunno. I met this REALLY nice girl. She's really crafty. She showed me around a bit, and even showed me the nearest mall and dairy queen. :D She was a pretty sister with blue eyes and dark brown hair. I bet you'll like her when you come for Christmas. Guess what? Christmas is only in 25 DAYS!!!! I'm so excited! Christmas is my favorite holiday. And Sunshine's B-day is in EXACTLY 13 days. Yay :D. I hope she get felicity. I ate a peanut butter and jelly Sandwich for lunch. Now I'm eating soup. It's REALLY cold here. But I like it a lot.

~Gabrielle A. Taylor.

Looks like your having fun. I can't wait to go either. I really hope Sunny gets Felicity too, thought she emailed me and it says "April" Instead of "Felicity" So I think they call her April. The crafty girl sound cute. And you in OHIO? I was so upset that you were leaving I don't even now where your were going :D.

~BELLS.
P.S. Rodger got a new girlfriend. I'm so happy for him. Her name is Amy-lee. He email-ed me about her. I want to meet her!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


See? My fear. She has a new friend. Soon enough they will be best friends and I will just become a "friend"

~BELLS

Intense

My heart felt heavy.
I felt like I couldn't move.
I couldn't breath.
I was slowly dying.
Why?
Gabrielle will be leaving today.
I wouldn't see her in months.
She would be away.
She would find a new best friend.
And I will be dust.
Just the remains of Bella.

My head pounded.
After hitting the snooze button 18 times, I finally stood up and headed to the bathroom.
I took a shower and changed into my itchy uniform. Khaki pants, white shirt, navy vest and tie.
I stuffed the scrapbook in my book bag.
I quietly ate a yogurt and left my apartment.

I quietly listened to the Christmas music in my elevator.
The elevator stopped on the 3rd floor.

Miranda walked in.
"Hey Bella."
"Hi." I whispered to her.
"You okay?" She asked.
"No."
"What's wrong?"
"Gabrielle. She's moving today." My eyes were damp.
"I'm so sorry. I know she's you best friend. She's really nice. She was my lab partner. But on the bright side, you guys can see each other in holidays,video chat yadda yadda." She attempted to cheer me up.

Silence.
I walked with Miranda to school.
Not saying a word.

"Hey Bella!" I heard Gabrielle's voice.
"Hi."

Silence.

"C'mon. Cheer up." She said.

I did nothing.

"C'mon, or tickle monster will attack." She said.

I did nothing.

And so, tickle monster attacked me.
I laughed.
"Okay, okay. I'll cheer up." I said trying to stop tickle monster.

We laughed.
I went to my locker and dropped off my guitar and headed off to homeroom.
The day went on.
Ms.Flokenberson as fun as ever.
Mr.Stewart gave too much homework.
Ms.Johnson was sick and didn't come to school.
Slow,boring and dull.

"Bells!" I heard Gabrielle's voice yell from behind.
"Hey!" I hugged her.
We grabbed lunch and ate together with the gleeks.

"Yeah, and I want to audition!" Laura commented on the beauty and the best play that the school is doing.

"I'm might just audition for the beast. I'll be awesome when I'm human again cuz, you know, I'm handsome." Rodger joked.

"Talking bout' beasts." I looked at Margaret going our way.

"Hey babe." Margaret touched Rodger's hair.
Rodger's eyes widened.
He took her hands off his head.
She sat on his lap.
Rodger gave her a cold stare and slowly pushed her off to the little space left of the bench.

She just giggled like an idiot.
"You're so funny..." She said, kissing his cheek.

"Can't wait to see you at glee today." She giggled.

"GLEE?" Rodger yelled.

"Babe keep it down..." She put a finger on his lips.

"Yes, I'm joining glee. I've got an amazing voice and dancing talent." She said.

"Tik tok, on the clock DJ blow my speakers up tonight ima fight!!!" She sang loudly.

I covered my ears, she sung horrible.


"I love your hair." She touched his hair.

"Are you part Jamaican?" She asked.

"Noooo...." He said, taking her hand off his hair once again.

"Because you are Ja-makin' me crazy" She giggled once again like an idiot.

I couldn't help it but to laugh.

"I lost my number.... Can I have your...?" She said, biting her lip.

"Really?" Rodger answered.

She hugged his waist.

He pushed his hands off her.
She looked over at her clique.

"I love you,babe" Margaret leaned in and gave Rodger a kiss.
She looked at me.
I shrugged.
"BLWAAAH" Rodger wiped his mouth with a napkin.

We all laughed.

"So,'babe' are you excited for your girlfriend to go see you at glee?" Daniel joked.
Miranda punched him in the arm.

Rodger shook his head and said a few words under his breath.

"Why'd I have to be attractive? " He said.

A while after that lunch was over.
Then I had science.

"Hello there." John David greeted me at our desk.
"I'm sorry about what happened. I was going to dump her for you. I love you, I love you Bella." He said.
"Oh, shut up. Your just a pervert." I argued with him.
"Bella, keep it down." The teacher said.

I rolled my eyes.

He complemented:
My hair.
My eyes.
My hands.
My shirt.
My handwriting.
My voice.

"JUST SHUT UP!" I yelled at him.
The teacher peered at me from her book.

The bell rung and I quickly headed out the door.
He followed behind me.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT LEAVE ME ALONE MEANS?" I yelled.

"No. Because I want you, I loooove you. Do you under stand what I love you means?"

"Yes, I do. But I'm not falling in love with a jerk like you. I've got an eye on some one." I rolled my eyes.

He kept on following me.
"C'mon Bella, give me a chance." He said.

I ignored him.

I opened my locker and took out my gym clothes.
"I love you. I want to hug you, and kiss you. Please... Do you want to go out?" He asked once again.

"Don't you understand to leave her ALONE?" A familiar voice stood behind me.
I closed my locker and turned around.
It was Rodger.

I smiled.

"And who are you? The police?" John David asked.
Before Rodger can say a word I said
"He's my boyfriend."
John David's mouth dropped on the floor.

"Prove it." He said.

I panicked.
I took a stance and quickly kissed him.

"Well, then it's your loss. Why wouldn't you want this?" John David said walking away.
When he was out of sight me and Rodger cracked up.

"Did you see his face?" We laughed louder until the bell rung.

"Your a natural!" Rodger complimented on my acting.

"See ya!" I said, heading off to gym.

"Gabs, you're not going to believe what just happened." I told Gabrielle in the locker room.
"What?" She asked, curious.
"So, you know John David? He was trying to ask me out again and saying that he loved me and stuff. He wouldn't stop and Rodger was like 'Don't you understand to leave her alone' and John David was all like ' who are you'" I continued telling her the story.

We played softball. After that I headed off to Latin.

"Salve, we are having a quiz today. Please clear you desk off with just a writing instrument." The teacher sounded like a robot.

I quickly finished my quiz and started reading my book.

"SHUT UP!" I heard some one yell in the back.
I turned around and saw Mike Lewis yelling at Jacob Williams.

"MAKE ME. You took my girlfriend for 2 years away from me!"

"Sorry, but the looks can't help it!"

"But your a JERK."

Sooner or later it started a huge argument.
Until the got closer.
And Jacob swung at Mike.
It was a huge fight.
Then two other boys got into a fight.
Then the principal came in and started yelling but the fight could not be stopped.

I looked at my watch and realized the bell has rung.

"GABRIELLE!" I yelled almost crying and stuffed my pen into my bag.
I rushed to my locker and grabbed my jacket and went downstairs.

"Gabrielle!" I yelled running towards her.
We hugged.
"I'm so sorry I'm late, there was this huge fight and I just go distracted and it was so loud..." I explained.

"It's okay, we're on the right track." She said, starting to walk.

We got to Gabrielle's apartment and I waited outside as I waited for Gabrielle to get her suitcases.

"Ready." She forced a smile.

We got in side the cab when we heard
"GABRIELLE! WAIT!" I poked my head out the door to see Rodger running towards the cab.

He stepped inside the car.
I gave him a stare.
"What?I'm her best friend too." He said.
Gabrielle smiled.
We drove to the airport listening to Ke$ha and having our own little dance party in a cab.
When we got there.
We waited till they called Gabrielle's plane.
"Hey, you know... I'm gonna send you some gifts on christmas, and we'll video chat, and I'll text you, and we'll be in touch" Rodger tried to break the silence.
Gabrielle weakly smiled.
Until they called her plane.
My heart dropped.
It skipped a bunch of beats.
I felt like dying.

"I guess this is good-bye." Gabrielle stood up.
"Good-bye,Rod. I'll visit soon." She said hugging him for long.

She looked at me.

The pain of her just looking at me was intense. I couldn't help it.
I'll always remember those blue eyes that stood out in her face.


We hugged.
"Remember, I'll always have your back. Always." We hugged for a long time, until she let go.
She started walking away.
When I remembered.The scrapbook.


"WAIT!" I yelled, running towards her.
"What?" She asked, panicking.
"Here. I made just for you." I took out a friendship scrapbook covered with her favorite colors.
"What's this?" She said opening it.
She had tears of joy.
"I love it." She said hugging me.
They called her plane again.
"Hurry on, you have to go." I told her.
We let go.
And I walked away.

When it hit me.
I burst in to Rodger's arms and cried my little heart out.
"It's okay.You guys will keep in contact, and will always, always be best friends." I cried harder.

I looked back at Gabrielle who was crying too, and waved at her.

~Bells

Tears

"Gabrielle?" I moved around in the air bed in search of Gabrielle.

"Gabs?" I asked sitting up.

I looked around but no sight of Gabrielle.
I dialed her cellphone but she didn't pick up.
Texted 33 times, no response.
I grabbed my coat and headed out the door until I saw myself n the emergency mirror...
I went back and brushed my hair.

I ran against the cold wind to Gabrielle's apartment.

"GABRIELLE!" I pounded against the front door of Gabrielle's apartment.

"GABBIE-L!!" I yelled.

The door opened.
"Hello there, Bella." She smiled.
I stepped inside.

"Gabrielle Amber Taylor don't you ever scare you best friend like that!!" I hugged her.
I looked around her apartment.
Turquoise and green balloons floated around the apartment.
"What's.... all this?" I pointed at the decorations.
" Welcome to the best last-weekend-with-your-best-friend in last weekend-to-spend-with-your-BFFL history!" Gabrielle said.

"Here, I have an agenda." She gave me a piece of purple paper.

The best last weekend with your best friend agenda:
Go shopping at the mall
Get too much stuff at the craft store.
Eat frozen yogurt in pink berry
Go to glee dance rehearsals
Go back home and review everything we bought
Make burritos (your favorite!)
Do our nails and hair
Go ride our bikes
go back home and yell at random people passing by the streets
Prank calls
And much, much more.

"Wow, this sounds cool." I said after scanning the list.
"Now, you can't go out with that. " Gabrielle pointed at may cloud-jammies and pea coat.
"Tada" Gabrielle pulled an outfit out of her closet.
It was a navy blue long sleeve,with a white lace sweater, a small suede tan braided belt thingy, and dark jeans.
"Niiiiice." I said,grabbing the hanger.

I quickly changed and did my hair.
"Wow, you look amazing." She said as she saw me.
"You look amazing...er."I complemented her back.

Her blue eyes shined as she put her jacket it on.
"Let's go!" She said, opening the door.
I took my jacket that I have thrown at the couch.

We headed to the mall.
"Gabrielle...." A familiar voice said behind us.
It was way too familiar.
Rodger.
Bwaah.
I turned around to see him.

"Bella." He said.
"Rodger." I giggled.
They hugged.
"Rodgie will miss you." He said, hugging her tightly.
I smiled.
"We're we goin???" He asked.
"H&M" Gabrielle and I answered.
He groaned.
"Go to the sport shop." I suggested.
"No." He answered.
I rolled my eyes.
We bought a few here and there, mostly at the craft store.

"Ohhh silly putty" Rodger grabbed a container with silly putty in it.
I rolled my eyes.

"OHHHHH look at this!" He said pointing at some stickers

"Did you go back to when you were 4?" I asked him.

"Uh, no...Nope. Not that I know of." He smiled.

"Done!" Gabrielle said, after she checked out everything.
"Let's go to pink berry" She said heading out the door.

Rodger followed behind us.

"What's pink berry?"He asked.
"A yogurt shop." Gabrielle answered.
"Yuck, yogurt."
"It's actually very good." I said.
"Yeah right" I answered me.

"omigawsh. This is so frikin good." He said tasting a sample.
"Told ya." We both answered.

"I want a chocolate yogurt please." I ordered.
"Any toppings?" The lady asked.
"Brownie bites, captain crunch, a waffle, and oreos."

"You coming to the glee dance rehersals?" I asked Gabrielle.
"Nope, I'm gonna be home waiting for you. Now, head on." She said, taking my bags from me.
"Kay..." I waved to her.

"Have I told you how good you are at singin-"
"Yes."
"Just letting you know."
Silence.
"Ms.Terry looks very different in sweats." He said awkwardly.
"Mhmm" I agreed.
"Umm.... your pretty sad that Gabrielle is moving... right?"
"Yes."
" This is not working."
"What's not working?"
"The whole just friends thing."
" You can make it work. I mean, we were best friends before we went out. Was that hard?"
"No but... ugh."
"Rodger, go get a girlfriend. I'm not stopping you. It'd be a while until I start dating again.K?"
"Okay... I guess." He said quietly.

We walked into a studio.

"Wait, Ms.Terry called and said it was canceled. Sorry." The lady at the front desk said.

"What?!" I yelled leaving the studio.
"I dunno." Rodger said.

I headed to the direction of Gabrielle's apartment.
"Why are you following me?" I joked.
"I'm going to Gabrielle's house too, ya know." He said.


I knocked on Gabrielle's door.
No one was there.
I knocked harder.
I twisted the knob.
The door was opened.

"SURPRISE!" Loud voices said.
"Surprise." Rodger whispered.

"What's... all. WHAT IS GOING ON?" I yelled.
"Just a party." Gabrielle stepped up to me.
We hugged.
" But-- what--why?
"Just party." Gabrielle smiled.

We partied for hours until everyone left.

"Bella, I don't know how to say this..." Gabrielle started.
"Say what?" I got nervous.
"I.. I'm... leaving..."
"I know."
"On Monday."
"WHAT?!" I yelled.
"I wanted to buy a ticket for thursday but... But... I couldn't" She said, crying.
"I'm sorry Bells. Don't be mad at me."

What did I do?
I cried.
And we hugged.

~BELLS

3/4 of my heart

"Bella! BELLA!" Gabrielle threw a pillow at my face.

"WHAT!?" I peered from my book.

" C'mon get ready!" She wore a red dress, up to her knees, her wavy hair let down.

"Ugh." I groaned closing my book.

I looked for the dress Gabrielle bought me and put it on.
It was royal blue and went below my knees.

"Ya like? " Gabrielle said as she saw me in it.

"Ehhh...." I joked.

"Just kidding. I love it." I hugged her.
I put make-up on, put my stupid heels on, and we headed for dinner in the Olive garden.

"Who is the only girl in the world who decides to go out to the olive garden in short dresses in freezing temperature?" I asked Gabrielle in the cab.

"Gabrielle Amber Taylor does." I shook my head.
I smiled brightly.

"We're here!" Gabrielle squealed.
She payed the over-priced cab ride and we ran inside the warm restaurant.

" Reservation under Gabbie. For two, please." Gabrielle politely said.
I giggled.

The dude-in-a-fancy-tux led us to our table, who was centered with a small candle.

"Ohh, Fancy." I said.
It reminded me of my double date. Good times, good times.

"Ohhh, sounds yummy." I said, peering into the menu.

I ordered some lasagaña-type thingy.

"Wait! Bella, you have to say what your thankful for first." Gabrielle said just before I dug into my food.

"Fine. I'm thankful for living another day of my awesome life and spending time with my best friend and... and... food. I'm thankful having talent, I'm thankful for money (xD) food, my soft bed.... did I mention food?" I joked.

"To shorten my thanksgiving, I'm thankful for everything." Gabrielle smile.

"I could of just said that..." I said under my breath.

I finished my plate long before Gabrielle.

"I don't think I can have dessert..." Gabrielle said putting her hand over her belly.

"Me either..." I followed her.

"Excuse me can we have the bill?" Gabrielle asked a passing waitress.

"Here ya go." The waitress gave us the bill after a while.

Gabrielle placed a 20$ on the table and we headed off to the cold outside streets.

I waved my hands at a taxi that appeared in front of us in matter of seconds.
We headed off to my apartment.

"Home sweet home." I said, throwing my self into my sofa.

"Ugh" I groaned.

My phone did that sound again.
You know that sound.
Yes, the sound that goes off when you get a text.

"Hey, it's Rodger." Gabrielle said looking into my phone.

"RODGER?!" I fell off the couch.

"Gimme gimme gimme" I said grabbing the phone from Gabrielle.

"He says to look outside my window?" I laughed.

"Bella..." Gabrielle said looking out the window.

"WHAT?" I ran to the window.

There stood Rodger.

"UGH!" I groaned running out of the apartment.
I ran down six flights of stairs with Gabrielle following behind me.

"Rodger Micheal Lucas, What in the WORLD are you doing outside my building?" I asked him as if he was crazy, which he was.

"To see you." He answered.

I rolled my eyes.

"Because I love you." He repeated to me.

"Rodger, do you understand what BREAK-UP means?" I asked him.

He stayed quiet.

"I'm sorry." I paused.

"Let's just take a break okay?" I said quietly.

He stood in silence.

"A break... fine." He finally said.
I smiled.

He awkwardly raised his hand.
I shook his hand.

"Who am I kidding?" I let go of his hand and hugged him.

"Go home" I told him.

He smiled.

"Just a break, Rod." I heard him whisper to himself.

I peered at Gabrielle who was waiting at the lobby.

I stepped inside.

"What'd he want?" She asked.

"Nothing. Just saying hi." I told her, pressing the elevator button.

"Mmmhmm."

I changed into my jammies and pulled out the air bed.

"Night." I told Gabrielle as I covered myself in a blanket.
"Good night, sleep tight and don't let the bed bugs bite." Gabrielle joked.
"Happy thanksgiving, I can come spend Christmas with you. Or you with me. I dunno--" She stopped.
" Bella, I'll really miss you. You're the greatest person I know. My best friend. My sister. My conscious. 3/4 of my heart. I'll really miss you." She said.

Tears went down my cheeks.
~BELLS

Friend

I sobbed harder into my pillow every time I thought of Gabrielle.
She would be leaving.
Next week.
Forever.
Today I was going to dinner with Gabrielle and Miranda. Woohoo.
I decided to to actually stand up, and make breakfast.
My phone did the little sound I get every time I get a text.

From: Miranda
To: Bella
I'm going to your apartment right now.

"WHAT?!" I yelled.
I quickly changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt that said
"What are YOU looking at?"
I quickly made my bed and brushed my teeth.
Just in time when a soft knock hit my front door.
I did a quick check on my emergency mirror right next to the front door.
"Hi!" Miranda squealed hugging me.
"Hey" I said closing the door.
Miranda sniffed weirdly and the air.
"It smells like something is burning." She said.
I sniffed the air.
When I remembered.
"MY TOAST!" I yelled running to my kitchen.
I quickly crabbed a fork and picked up the poor burnt toast from the hot frying pan.
Miranda giggled in shock when she saw the once-bread black square sitting on a plate.
I giggled too.
"I think I left my sneakers here, I came to pick em up." She said, half still giggling.
I looked into my messy closet and found the purple barley used sneakers sitting inside.
"Here ya go." I said passing her the sneakers.
"Thanks." She said looking at her phone.
"I'll come up to go the dance rehearsals." She said opening the door, still not looking from her phone.
"Right... The dance rehearsals..." I said half waving- half closing the door.
I completely forgot about the dance rehearsals.
I did another attempt and making my toast and hurried off to the bathroom.
I changed into a pair of light teal sweats and a white, off the shoulder shirt with pink straps.
I tied my long layers of black-brown hair into a high ponytail and secured it with a teal head band.
A soft knock hit my door again.
It was Miranda.
"Ready?" She asked as I opened the door.
"Wait" I said rushing to put my sneakers on.
I grabbed a sweater, my coat, and my bag and ran out the door.
"Ready!" I said closing the door.
I quickly put my sweater and coat on and we rode down the elevator.
Christmas music was playing non-stop.
"Ugh, I hate dancing." I complained as we got to the dance studio.
"Too bad." Miranda said, opening the cold glass door.
"We're here for glee dance rehearsals." Miranda told the lady at the front desk.
"What school, honey?" The lady asked.
"Anastasia arts." Miranda responded.
The lady flipped through paper until she said.
"Room 306 to the left.BYE."
"THERE YOU ARE!" Ms.Terry said as we walked into the room with big mirrors and wooden floors.
I was surprised to see Ms.Terry with black sweats on and an old baggy t-shirt, rather than her school-wear, long pants, high boots, and a shirt and vest that matched her pants.
"Okay, everyone is here! In a circle everyone." We all gathered around Ms.terry.
"So, today we're working with Ms.Jonhson's sister. She's a choreographer." She explained.
"Before we start dancing our feet off, we're going to have the audtions for Duets and Solos." She explained.
"We'll start in a dew minutes" The room went from quiet, to loud.
Rodger stood in front of me.
I rolled my eyes.
"Are you going to audition?" He asked.
"No."
"Why not."
"I'm just not going to, Ok?"
He forced a puppy dog face.
"No, I don't have my guitar anyways." I said.
"So that means you will audition if you had a guitar."
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Pwwweeeaaaseeee"
"No." He forced another sad face and walked away looking down.
"Okay, get in line whoever wants audition for the duets." Ms.Terry announced.
Mary,Daniel, Rodger, and Miranda lined up in front of Ms.Terry.

I smiled as Rodger sang.

We clapped after they were done.

"Now, the Solos please line up. And remember, you can always audition for both."

All the girls lined up in front of Ms.Terry.

"That's it?" She asked.
Everyone nodded.

"BELLA WANTS TO AUDITION." Rodger yelled.
"Rodger!" I yelled at him.
"Please, Bella. Just try." He said ignoring the fact that I stomped on his foot.
I rolled my eyes and lined up.
" You can go first, Belle." She said.

I rolled my eyes once again just because Ms.Terry called me BellE rather than BellA.

I walked up to the middle of the dance floor as Rodger talked to Frankie.

The notes began.

"I am in love.With what we are. Not what we should be." I paused.
"And I am, I am starstruck. With every part, Of this whole story.
So if it's just tonight,
The Animal inside,
Let it live and die.
Like it's the end of time,
Like everything inside,
Let it live and die.
This is our last chance,
Give me your hands.
'Cause our world is spinning at the speed of light.
The night is fading, heart is racing.
Now just come and love me like we're gonna die. "
I looked at the gleeks.

They were smiling.
Miranda gave me a thumbs up and got off the line of solos.

I widened my eyes but she told me it was okay.

The last notes played.
I smiled bravely.
"Bravo, Bravo, Belle!" Ms.Terry clapped loudly.

Laura walked to the middle of the stage.

"You were awesome!" She whispered loudly to me.
I took a seat next to Miranda.

" Miranda. Are you sure?" I asked her.
"Yes, I am. I mean, I got the solo last time." I smiled.

"You think I'm pretty without any make-up on" Laura sang.
We all danced along until she ran out of the studio.

I followed behind her.

"Laur!" I yelled following behind her.
She sat down against the wall.
"Laur, what happened?" I said sitting next to her.

"I want to sing the duet, so I ran off so Ms.Terry would think I was to nervous to sing a solo." She explained.

"Oh." I said standing up.

"Sorry if I worried you." She said.
I shrugged.

When I walked inside the studio Mary was singing "Can't Be tames" by what's-her-name Miley now-trying-to -be-Britney-Spears Cyrus?

"What's wrong?" Ms.Terry referred to Laura.

"She's gonna be okay." I rolled my eyes.

Laura came back in and sat down next to Collin.

"Give me a few to decide and I'll tell you guys."

"Ello there, Gov'n." Rodger sat next to me.
I smiled.

"You were awesome." He complimented.

"You were too." I said.

"Psssh, I know I was." He smiled.

Ten minutes past when Ms.Terry walked in again and instructed the people who audition to get in line.

We all held hands.

"Okay, the duet partners are...."

Silence.

"Rodger and Miranda!" Ms.Terry clapped.

Rodger and Miranda hugged tightly.

I smiled.

"And now... For the solo..." Ms.Terry paused.

Silence.
Silence.
More...
Silence.
Which is really annoying, I mean, JUST SAY WHO'S DOING THE SOLO.
Sheesh.

"The solo... Goes...for.... BELLE!"

"LA!" I yelled to complete my name.

I hugged Laura and everyone else.

"Okay, now to dance."

After we rehearsed the steps of the Kss-n-tell and we were dismissed.
I walked back home without Miranda because she had a date with Daniel.

Firms hands covered my eyes.

"Rodger." I guessed.
He smiled at me.
"Hello." He said.
"Bonjour" I said.

Silence.

"Umm...." He said.
"So..n will you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease be my girlfriend again?" He asked.
"Not your girlfriend. You friend."

~Bella.

No.

I played the soft notes in my guitar.

"I'm am in love. With what we are, not what we should be." I sang softly into the empty auditorium.

I was in glee practice, yea, on a day we have off.

"And I am, I am starstruck." I paused.

"With every part of this whole story." I played the notes in my guitar.

"So if it's just tonight, the animal inside."

"Let it live and die" I sang.
"Like it's the end of time, Like everything inside." I sang.
"Let it live and DIE" I sang loudly.
"This is our last chance, give me your hands. Cuz our world is spinning a the speed of light." The notes played loudly.
"The night is fading, My heart is racing" I paused, startled by loud claps.

I looked at the back of the auditorium from the tall stage.

"Bravo! Bravo!." The voice said.
"I didn't mean to interrupt." It came closer.
It was Rodger.
"Aren't you supposed to be downstairs eating?"
I smiled.
"You're really good. Are you going to audition for the Solo?" He ignored me.
I blushed.
"No." I answered standing up.
"You're AMAZING." The auditorium boomed.
" You have to." He said climbing up the stage.
"If I sing a solo, everyone will be looking at me. No." I packed away my guitar.
"C'mon. You don't want us to lose the winter finals, right?" He looked down with a sad face.
"No." I said stepping down the stage.
"Fine." He said.
"Fine." I said, sitting down in the empty audience.

They're was silence for a while.
I watched him take out his guitar.

"WE'RE BAAACK!" I heard Daniel yell from behind.

We practiced our group song,our girls song, and the solo auditions were Friday.
I headed home and praticed my songs.

"There you are down in your knees again, trying find where to breath again." I sang loudly.
" Only surrender would help you know, I love you please see and believe agaaaain." I sang even louder.

A soft knock hit my door.
I looked through the peep hole.
"Gabbie-L?" I swung open the door.
"Yeah." She said in a disappointed voice.

She walked inside my apartment and sat on the couch, looking down.

"What's wrong?" I sat down on the couch with her.
They're was a few seconds of silence.
"Bella." She looked up at me.
Her eyes we're moist and teary.
"Gabrielle Amber Taylor, what is wrong?!" She got me really worried.
" Bella." She burst into tears.
She hugged me.
My heart pounded loudly.
My should drowned in tears.
"GABRIELLE what is wrong?" She got me worried sick.

"Bella, I'm leaving." She said.

My heart dropped.

"You're leaving? What?" I asked, confused.

"I'm going back to Maryland." She sobbed.

"Just fpr thanksgiving....Right?" I tried to feel better.

"No, Bella. I'm moving, not just for thanksgiving." My heart skipped a beat.
I couldn't breath for a second.

"You can't be leaving. YOU CAN'T." I yelled standing up.

She looked up at me.
She was serious.

"No.. NOOO. You can't." I hugged her tightly.

"I'm sorry Bella." She stood up.

"I'll be back next week, to get my stuff." She walked towards the door.
" And, leave." Her hands covered her face.

"You can come with me to the airport next week." She said pressing the elevator button.

I followed her into the elevator.

"See ya next week." Gabrielle forced a smile.

I cried my eyes out, hugging her.

"Bye." I waved to her as the elevator door closed.

I went back to my room.
And plopped against my pillow.

It can't be.

~Bells.

Stumbled.

I was walking around looking for somewhere to stay.
" Hey" A voice said behind me.
I turned around to see John David.
"Hi David!" I said.
"Are you going anywhere?" He asked.
"Nope, this is my free period. I usually go to study hall..."
"Do you mind if I companion you?" He said in his cute accent.
"Why not?" I smiled.
We walked passed the language hall.
My heart dropped.
Rodger was there.
Kissing.
That.
Girl.

I walked faster.
David followed behind me.
" Are you Ok?" He asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine. Why?"
"You look, pale."
"I'm fine."

We got to the study hall.
I sat down in a desk behind were Miranda was sitting.
David sat behind me.
He pulled out his book.
"To kill a mocking bird" The cover of the book read.

" I heard your in Glee." He said behind his book.
" Yeah."
" I want to hear you sing.".
"I don't know."
"Pwwwweeease?" He begged.

I ignored him.

"Be right back." I said, standing up.
He followed behind me.
I rolled my eyes.
The bending machine sucked my dollar.
I picked out Twix.
"Hmm, good choice." He said rubbing his tummy.
I giggled.
I quietly nibbled on my Twix bar while I read my book.

"Bella.... I kinda... I think your pretty." He said.
I blushed.
I took a last bite of my Twix and crumbled the wrapper.

He stared at me.
"Thank you." I said.

"Do you think we can do something after school or something?" He asked.
"I mean, not as a date or anything." He quickly said.

"Sure." I said.

I looked back into my book.

The bell rang and I quickly stood up and left.
Then, I went to Latin.
That was the last period of the day, and I had the day off tomorrow.
Glee was canceled because Ms.Terry was sick.

I reached my locker and stuffed my books into the small locker.

I turned around to see Rodger laying against the lockers across mine's.
I rolled me eyes and kept walking.
"Bella..." He tapped my shoulder.
"What?" I said, turning around.
We ended up closer than I thought, so I backed away.

"After we broke up" He paused.

Our eyes touched.
I quickly looked the other way.

"I.. Well... I just never thought it'd be so hard" He continued.

"What are you trying to say?" I for some stupid reason asked. I knew exactly what he was trying to saying.

"I want to start all over again." He said.

I stood quiet.

Moments passed.

"No." I quickly said turning around.

"Bella, please think about it." He added.

"Why should I think about it? I catched you kissing that girl like 5 times already."

"Well, I got betrayed. I thought she was nice, caring.. more like you. But the truth is, she's ugly inside." He explained.

"Really?" I did a fake laugh.

"Really? Did you tell that to her too? About me?" I started walking away.

"I love you." He said.
My heart did a flippy thing.

That second the world's biggest geek passed by.

"Just think about it." He said as I walked away.

When I was far from Rodger I got a tap on the shoulder.

I turned around to see a blonder girl, with curly hair, blue eyes.
That girl.
You know, the girl that was kissing Rodger.

"I brought up with him." She said.

I stayed quiet.

"He deserve a girl like me. I'm to girly. I'm all about my looks, my status, yadda yadda. He looks for a girl like you. That why I broke up with him." She explained.

"He sure liked kissing you." I said.

She smiled.

"Give him a chance" She said walking away.

Should I give him a chance?

"I seek some affections of frisson." A voice said.

It got closer.

"What's frisson?" I asked the geek.

"It's like an affection for a person, thought you don't know it. I dumbed it down for you." She said.

" Frisson with who? Are you trying to say I'm DUMB?" I yelled.

"Please, keep your tone down. No, I'm just trying to make it more understandable for you. You have frisson with John David, and Rodger. GOOD LUCK!" She said walking away.

I don't have frisson for John David. He's just really cute.
I KNOW I have frisson with Rodger.
Sheesh.

I walked around some more.
"Hey, come here!" A accent said, grabbing my hand.
It was John David.

"Where are you taking me?" He ignored me.

He dragged me all over to the art classroom.
Were he had set up a easel in front of a bench with a few colors of paint.

"Sit right there." He pushed down my shoulders.

"Sit up straight." He said.
He pushed my chin up with his soft hands.
I blushed.
I stood still.

"You're beautilful." He smiled.
I blushed so hard.
I was afraid my painting would come out red instead of my normal skin color.

He stood up from his bench and walked towards me.
He leaned closer and pushed my hair back from my face and pushed up my chin again.
"I would kiss you right now." He said standing up and going back to his bench.

"I will finish this painting." He said, picking up a brush.

He painted for a while.
The door swung open.

"David!" A voice said.
It sounded like (DAH-VEED)

She kissed him.
My mouth dropped.

"Who is this?" She said in her weird accent.
" This is Bella. I am painting her. But you are more beautiful!" They did a nose kiss.

"What? TWO-TIMING PIG!" I hit with my bag.
Boy, am I good at hitting boys with bags.

"What is she saying!?" She asked.

"I don't know, love."

"I'M SAYING THAT THIS (choice word) IS A TWO-FACED PIG!" I stormed out the classroom.

Should I just forgive Rodger?

A sister? A SISTER!

Hi! Guess what, Sunny realized she really liked a doll.
A historical.
I know, about Anabel.
But we're gonna get her another time.

Who is the doll we ARE getting for Sunny's B-day?

Guess.

If you guessed Kaya, your sooo wrong.
In the other hand, if you guessed Felicity you're right!!!

Here's her email:
From: April
To: Bella

Finally I get to leave this place! It's terrible here. I've heard the factory is much better. I mean, the stores are fine too I guess, but the dolls make my life MISERABLE. I love cooking. Everyone make fun of me calling me "Irish" or "Leprechaun." I hate when they're stereotyping me!
PLEASE GET ME OUT OF HERE AS SOON AS YOU CAAAAN!

Battlefield

I walked down the load school hallway eating a bagel.
"Throw that out before class." The secretary said passing by.
"Ok." I rolled my eyes.
I troubled to remember my lock combination.
After a while, I finally opened my locker.
I looked inside the dusty locker.

It had sticky notes, a mirror, and...
And a picture of Rodger.

I snatched it out.

I felt like burning it.

I took a last bite of my bagel and took my books and headed to class.

"Today, we will assign you partners for you project." The science teacher explained.

"Okay, the list is right here." She stamped a sheet on the bulletin board.

The class hurried to the board.
A huge cloud of students crowded around the board.

I waited until I was free to go.

I looked at the board, praying it won't be a stupid person.


Alice Smith- Adam De Jesus
Alex Lopez- Lyla Grace
Andy Bear- Jewels Burd
Bella Flynne- John David Thorne

"John David?" I whispered to myself.

"That's me." A voice said.

I turned around to see a tall boy with spiky brunette hair, and pretty green eyes.

"Bella" I said, shaking his hand.

" Like short for Isabella?" He asked as we went back to our seats.

"Nope, just Bella." I answered him.

"You can simply call me David." He said as we sat down.
He smiled brightly.
I forced a smile.

We talked about our project, turns out he is REALLY sweet!

"See ya." He said as the bell rung.

After that I had math and english.

I headed to lunch.

"Hey!" I said as I sat down at the glee table.
There was a clutter of "HEY!" and "Bells!"

I carefully took out my quesadillas and quietly nibbled on them.

"Hey" Rodger said as he sat down.
I rolled my eyes.

"We have glee today riight?" I asked.
"Yeah, I bet we'll be talking about the finals." Daniel answered.
I nodded.

I took sip of my apple juice.
A girl waved to our direction.
I looked around to see who she was waving at.
Rodger stood up and walked towards her.

I carefully saw them greet each other.
I have seen her before.
I saw her at the mall.
Yesterday.

It was proven that he was over me.
I had to get over him.

At glee, Ms.Terry has a big smile on her face.

"Hello there!" She said as everyone sat down.

"So, today you guys had to come up with some songs to sing at the finals. They're will be a Girls only song, a boys only song, and solo and a group song. " She said.


I slowly slid down in the chair.

"How bout' the girls?" She pointed towards me.

I stood up and walked over to Frankie.

"Kiss N tell, Ke$ha" I whispered to him.

The girls walked up to the stage.

We looked at each other.

I stood up at the front.

"We were thinking of doing kiss-n-tell by Ke$ha. We changed the not-so-appropriate words." I said bravely.

Ms.Terry nodded.

I checked to see if the girls were ready and nodded at Frankie.

The notes began.

We twirled down the stairs and stood in front of the boys.

"Listen to yourself, you're a hot mess." Miranda sang.
"St-st-stutter through your words, breaking a sweat." Laura sang.
"What's it going to take to confess?" I rolled my eyes at Rodger.
"We both know" We all sang.
"Yea, I was outta town last weekend." I sang.
"You were feeling like a pimp round your lame friends" Laura sang.
We twirled around.
"Now your little party's gonna end." Miranda sang.
"So we here we go." We all sang.

We danced to the stage.

"Whoa, you've got a secret." Miranda sang
"Whoa, you couldn't keep it." Laura sang.
"Whoa, Somebody leaked it." Marie sang.
"Now some ____ about to go down." We covered our mouth when the ___ part came. (We didn't say the word, it was the clean version.)


"I never thought that you would be the one
Acting like a slut when I was gone
Maybe you shouldn't, ohh ohh
Kiss and tell
You really should have kept it to your self
I'm hearing dirty stories from your friends
Maybe you shouldn't, ohh ohh
Kiss and tell" I sang.

And the chorus was all mines.

ALL MINES.
TODO.
100%.
BELLA, NOT SHORT FOR ISABELLA FLYNNE GOT THE CHORUS.

MINE!

We finished with our finger against our lips, saying shhhhh.

The boys stared in awe.

Ms.Terry clapped quickly.

"Very nice, girls. That's the song for the girls." She smiled brightly.

I ran down the stairs, took my bag. And I ran.

~BELLS

Home not-so-sweet Home RE-POSTED

I quietly took the elevator to the 6th floor.
An elevator I haven't seen in 2 weeks.
Christmas music played.

The doors opened revealing my 5 year old next door neighbor, Samantha.

"ISABELLA! I MISS YOO SO MUUUCH!" The warm five-year- old gave a big fat hug.

"I missed you too..." I lied.

She was ANNOYING.
"I gotta go now..." I said wiggling free of her hug.

I walked to my apartment, and opened the door.
The sweet smell of burritos and lavender scattered around the air.
I smiled.
I flopped into my bed I haven't slept in 2 weeks.
Seconds past and I stood up and out the door I went.
I ran to Gabrielle's apartment.
I tapped softly on her door.

"Who is it?" Her sweet voice asked.
"UPS" I answered.
She shrieked.
The door swung open.
"My package wasn't supposed to come since-"
"BEEEELLLLA!!!"
"GABRIEEEELLLLEEEE!"
She hugged me tightly.

"How was it?!" She said sitting down in her bed.
"It was awesome!" I answered.
"How's Rodger?" She asked.
My heart fell off my chest.
"Where's jazz?" I ignored her.
"Umm... He's over there" She pointed to her desk.

I crabbed the hamster's cage.

"I gotta go, I'll come back later." I said opening the door.

"Okay..." She whispered.

I ran back to my apartment to drop off Jazz and hurried to the dog sitter.

"Who is it?" The old voice asked.
"Bella." I answered.
"Hello they're sweetie pots!" She opened the door.
My dogs came rushing outside.
I greeted them.
"Come in, sweethearts" I walked inside.

The stood a figure.
A figure know as Rodger.

" Bella, this is my grandson, Rod-"
"I know him." I interrupted her.
"You do?"
"Better than you think." I rolled my eyes.
"Umm. Okay... Here's they're bags. Really good dogs you've got there." She said passing me the bag.

"Here."I passed her the money.

"Thanks." I said as I left the apartment.

I called Sophia, Miranda, and Gabrielle and invited them to the mall.

"Hi!" Miranda squealed.
"Hey." I said.
"Tell me."
"Tell you what?"
"You're hiding something."
"No"
"Yes"
"The dog sitter is Rodger's grandma" I gagged when I said "Rodger"

They're was soft knock at my door.

"HIIII!" Sophia said, throwing me a hug.
"Hiii!" I squealed.

After we talked we went to the mall.
"That is one caaayute hat." Miranda pointed at the glass.
"Forget it." Miranda said looking at the price tag.

"Oh look who it is..." We heard a voice.
We turned around.
There stood Maragaret and her wanna-bes.

"Bella, Gabrielle, Sophia, and her." She said, looking at Miranda.
Miranda rolled her eyes.

"You need a makeover.Some make-up will do. Alot of make-up." Margaret said to Miranda.
" Some people don't have to use a lot of make to cover they're ugly face like you." I defended Miranda.

Margaret gasped.
"Ugh. Looosers!" She said walking away.

"I'm hungry" I announced after a while.
"Me too" Everyone agreed.

We went down to the food court and ordered pizza.
"This is delicious!" I stuffed a piece of pizza in my mouth.
The girls stared at me in shock.

"Whaaat?" I asked.
"Nothing. Uh.. Noooothing." They said suspiciously.

I looked behind me.
Rodger.
Flirting.
With.

~BELLS

Beth's house :D

"Umm... Wait." The voice at the door faded.
The floor clicked with her footsteps.

"IS ANY ONE HERE FOR SOME GIRL NAMED BELLA?" The voice furiously roared.

Footsteps ran down the stairs with a loud shriek.
The soft footsteps got closer.
The door opened.
"Bella!" Beth hugged me.
"Hi!" I greeted her.

A blond girl, covered in pink glared at me with gum in her mouth.

"This, is Kristy." Beth introduced me to her.

"Kristy, this is Bella, you know the girl that I went to the double date with." She told Kristy.

Like magic, Beth and I muttered "Jerks" Under our breaths.

"Umm..Hi." I said extending my hand.

She quickly shook my hand and walked away.

"Okay..." I whispered.

I dropped my bag and twirled around.
Looking and the living room.
Already christmas-y.

"Nice house." I complimented.
"Thanks" Bethie said quietly.

"Hot chocolate is--" A pretty, burtnette girl walked out of the kitchen holding a tray of hot chocolate.

"You must be Bella!" She put the tray down on the tables.

"I'm Samantha." She came closer to me.

"I know. Pleasure to meet you" I shook her hand.

"You want some hot chocolate?" She walked over to the tray.

"She makes the best hot chocolates" Beth whispered to me.

"Here you go!" She passed me a mug of chocolate.

I thought a small sip, cautioned that it was super hot.
Beth took a sip of her too, and made a pleasure face.

"Here, a banana choco-chip muffin." She passed me a muffin.
I quietly nibbled on mines.
It was DELICIOUS.
My eyes widened, as I took a huge bite of my muffin.

"I HEARD BANANA CHOCO-CHIP MUFFIN!" A voice said behind us.
I turned around to see a red headed girl coming down the stairs.

She stopped to look at me.
I put my muffin down on the coffee table and stood up, and so did Beth.
" Bella, this is Gracelynne. Grace, this is Bella." Beth said.

I smiled gratefully and shook her hand.
She took a mug of hot chocolate and a muffin and sat down.

"This is SO good." I said, eating quickly.

More footsteps ran down the stairs.
"Who's this?" Someone said behind me.

"Bella." I said, extending my hand.
"I'm Rebbecca" She said, leaving my hand hanging.

I greeted Lanie, Bailey, Kit, Julie, Chrissa, and Ruthie as they walked down the stairs.

"Bella, I wanted to ask you, does tacky glue work for like you know scrapbooking?" Chrissa sat down next to me.

"It sure does." I answered.

After talking with the whole family, Beth guided me to her room.
Her room was really pretty.
Glee wallpapers covered the walls, CDs scattered around, lyrics papers, Ihomes, and much more filled the room with Bethie-ness.

" This is my room." She said, ashamed.
" It's AWESOME!"

She guided me around the halls, to the pinkest room, to the crafty room, to the room with an decorations of pink and orange, and much much more.

"Your house is neat!" I complemented her as we got back to her room.

"Really?" She said.

"Really" I answered.

I sat down in her desk, thinking about food.
I looked down at one her notebooks, with a paper sticking out that read

I will always love you.

-Sal

I smiled gratefully, but then it turned to disgust.

"Hey, I'm sorry about you and Rodger you guys seemed really cut together." She said.

I smiled.

She walked over to her Ipod, and connected it to her Ihome.

The Ihome blasted with Glee music.

We danced around and sang along, when a redheaded walked in.

"There's a glee party and no one ever invited me?" She danced around with us.

Gracelynne's red hair flowed to the air.

She jumped in top of the bed and sang loudly.
Then both me and Beth jumped on the bed and danced around.

At the door a burnette, hair in a ponytail, blue eyes popping out, know a Delilah (Sorry xD) walked in the door and stopped the Ipod.

"Hey!" Grace yelled.

"You glee people are going crazy, I'm just gonna put the volume up to I can't hear Kristy's stupid conversations." She put the volume up.

We continued our crazy dance until Beth stopped the music.
Gracelynne and I glared at her.
We watched her carefully as she closed the door.

"Let's play monopoly." She said as she walked over to her closet and took out the monopoly game board.

"I call banker!" Grace exclaimed as Beth put the board down on the floor.

We set up the board carefully.
I picked out the dog, Gracelynne picked the top hat, and Beth picked the car.
"You guys know how to play 50 in the middle?" I asked.
The shook they're heads.
"Fifty in the middle is when you shake the board, talk out of turn, tell a player that some one just landed in they're property you have to put fifty in the middle" I explained.

They smiled and nodded.

" I call the fifty in the middle caller" I said.

We played, and me, being the monopoly genius have won.

"Aww! I can't believe I got bankrupted!" Grace said.

We giggled.

"Come on guys! I want to craft!" Chrissa appeared at the door.

"Chrissa we were goin--"
"PUH-LEEEEASE!" Chrissa interrupted Beth.

Beth glared at me.

"Fine" She smiled and stood up, following Chrissa.
We followed Chrissa into her room.

"You guys could do anything you want." She said, sitting down continuing with her project.

I did a unicorn out of pom-poms and beads.
Which reminded me:
"I'm pretty sure you proved Sal wrong with cheerleading. You have to teach me some moves." I told Bethie.
Her blue eyes turned to me, with a big smile.

"DINNER!" I heard Samantha yelled.

We sat down at the kitchen table.
I digged into my food, looked over at Kristy, who was having a salad.
"I'm going to the movies!" Bailey yelled.
"It's too late." Samantha answered.
"So?" She said.
"So, it's not good to be out at this time." Sam said.
"You are so boring.I mean, we're just to the movies!It's not even that late! I don't understand you. I'll go by myself!" Bailey said loudly and opened the door, that released cold wind.
"DELILAH! Get back in here!" Samantha ran over to the door, poking her head out.
"Don't call me Delilah!" I heard Bailey said.
"You can go tomorrow!" Samantha said.
Moments passed. Samantha gave up and closed the door, shaking her head.

After dinner we went up to Beth's room and watched T.V.

Something quietly hit the window.
I looked at the window but looked back at the T.V.
It continued. It was creepy. The fact is that we were watching Ghost Whisperer.
"Okay that's really creepy." I told Beth.
"What's creepy?" She asked.
I muted the T.V.
It continued.

She glanced at me and stood up walking over to her window.
I followed her.
"Ugh." She groaned.
I looked out the window.
A tall,blonde, jerk know as Sal was standing out the window.

She closed the curtain, when we heard a loud "BETH!"
She walked over to the door....

~BELLS

Good bye OHIO!

"UGH!" Miranda sat on her suitcase that apparently was not closing.

" Let me help you." I said, launching my self to her suitcase.

She pulled the zipper until the suit case was completely shut.

"Now that's what I call teamwork!" She said sarcastically.

"It looks like it's going to explode." Laura said, poking her head in our room.

We're leaving Sunday.
Sadly.
Really, really, sad.
Even if I have to pay the dog sitter A LOT more, it's still sad.

Miranda ran to the living room for food.

What were we doing here?
It's our last few days in Ohio, and we're here in a stupid hotel room.
Great, huh?
We should be out.
We should be having fun.
Not stuck here in a hotel room.

"Hey! You guys, these are our last few days here in Ohio. Why are we stuck in this stupid hotel room?" I asked.

"I don't know. We have no reason why to be cramped in here. We have to get out of here. Lets go to the arcade. Or to the mall. Ice skating, perhaps." I suggested.

"Yeah! Let's go Ice skating!" Everyone agreed.

And so I took my bag, my pea coat, and out the door we went.

We paid for our ice skated and huddled together in the ice.

Laura let out a loud scream when she slipped and fell on her butt.

"Oh come on! You guys are not gonna stand by the rails all the time right?" I asked picking up Laura.
Everyone gave me a glare.

" Nope!" Miranda said bravely as she let go of the rails and wiggled in front of me.

"So you think you can handle anything?" I teased her.

"Yep!" She said.

"Really?" I asked sarcastically.

She nodded. I grabbed her hand and rapidly skated around the sink.

"NO! STOP! NOOO!" She yelled.

" You said you could take anything!" I told her.

"Okay, I CAN'T TAKE THIS! NOW STOP! STOOOOOOOOOOP!" She yelled.

Until I stopped far, far away from the other girls.
I could see fear in her face.

"Wimp!" I teased her.

"I'm not. I just, have to get used to it."

"Come on--" I grabbed her hand.

"NO..." She slipped her hand out.

"I'm just gonna take to the girls." I told her.

"... Fine." We skated back to the girls.

We all got the hand of it, but I was the best.

"I'm hungry." Miranda announced after a while.

"Okay, let's go to the food court.

We skated our way back to the door, then we walked to the food area.

Everyone ordered hot dogs and hot chocolate.

We skated for a while until everyone announced they were tired.
We went home and every plopped down in they're beds.
I took a small nap.
I looked at the clock set up in the cream coloured walls.

I got my back and my coat and headed out the door, not worrying how my hair looked.

And off I went to the directions Beth sent me.

I walked up the driveway and knocked on the hard, wood door.

"Who is it?" A voice asked.

"Bella, I'm here for Beth"

~BELLS

Not so over him

"I love Ohio! I don't want to leave!" Laura yelled looking out the window.
We all started fake crying, except for me.

Sadly, tomorow, we leave in two days.

It was great being in Ohio.
Even thought me and Rodger broke up.
Even If I didn't get to meet a awesome family.
Even if I didn't make any friends.
Ohio, I love it.

" I'm gonna miss you, annoying hotel room! And you wii, you were awesome! And the amazing strawberry shortcake from room service, and you itchy carpet. And you boring walls! And you,"

"OKAY, we get it. You're gonna miss this place a lot." Miranda interrupted Laura.

Rest assure I'm not going to miss this place.
Not at all.
It was like a tiny pod, stuck in here for hours. And hours. And hours.
Hoping that my someone would come and rescue me from torture.
But they didn't.
Waah.

It was silent in the room.

I could feel the akwardness piling in the air.
I could feel Miranda giving me a glance.
I understood why she gave me a glance.
I haven't said many words in days.

She glanced back at the girls.

I interrupted the moment by standing up and going back to my room.

I could hear whispers from the room.
I did not take my eyes off the book.

Everything was weird.
I guess I didn't realize that Rodger was such a jerk.
It's disgusting how boys are just jerks.
I mean, he's already flirting with some girls.

I heard a loud but soft knock coming from the door.

I pocked my head out the door and looked towards the front door.

Miranda opened the door and greeted Daniel with a kiss.
I rolled my eyes.

The other boys came in.
Except for Rodger.
I smiled.

I walked towards the living room and smiled greatly.

"Hey.. Whadda ya doing here?" I asked the boys.

" Tell us." Laura ignored my question.

"Tell you what?"

" Why are you all down, and un-yourself."

I took a deep breath and looked around.

" Why did Rodger not come?" I had an evil smile.

" Well, he said that he wanted to go buy something in the--"

"Lie." I interrupted.

"A filthy lie." I sat on the carpet.

" You know why he didn't come?" I asked.

Everyone shrugged.

"Whadda tell him?" I asked.

"We told him that we're gonna see why Bella is acting so not her." Daniel explained.

" That's why. He knows why I'm so mad."

" Why? You may ask. Well he broke up with me. No biggie. He insisted that it 'wasn't working'. So we broke up. We're over each other." I explained to them.

The all stared in awe.

Without thinking, I stood up took my coat and opened the door.

And there was standing Rodger. Trying to hear what I was saying.

"Didn't you want to go buy something at the mall?" I asked sarcastly.

I went passed him, and walked 12 flights down the stair.

Am I really over him?
No.

Is he over me?
Yes

~BELLS

R.I.P Rodger & Bella

Boys whistled as me and Miranda passed the hallway.

"They are so annoying." Miranda said.
"I know." I agreed.
They whistled, said corny flirts, asked for numbers, emails, and much more.

One of them poked me in the arm, and grabbed me.

"Hey they're sweetie." He said. His eyes were green, dirty blond.

"Leave me alone" I wiggled.

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" I said.

He didn't let go.

I curled my finger into a fist and punched him in the stomach.

He fell flat in the floor, hands over his stomach.

"Don't mess with me." I said.

Miranda's eyes widened.

"Just trying to teach them a lesson." I said passing her.
I had just come out of French, which was pretty hard.
The teacher spoke crazy fast, I only understood "Bonjour" And "Merci"

I headed towards the stair, on my way to the lunchroom.

Daniel, Rodger, and Collin were sitting outside the lunchroom.

Rodger stood, giving me a chance to look at his eyes that were blocked by some strands of hair.

My heart pounded.
Well, it's always pounding... But, just louder than usual.
My breathing became harder, like my conscious choked me.
He stepped closer.

"Come." He said grabbing my hand.
We walked until we got to an empty hallway.
No one in sight.

"Why are we here?" I asked.
His eyes looked down at me.
"Bella," He paused, pushing his hair back.
He held my hands.

"I, We.. um.." He stuttered choosing his words.

"I think we... we should... take a break." He explained.
My heart sunk.

"Are you breaking up with me?"

"Listen, Bella, this is not working out." He said.

No thoughts were in my head.

" Then I guess we should!" I yelled at him letting go of is hands.

I ran away, into the bathroom.

I locked myself in a stall.

My head pushed against the door.

I stood in there for minutes.

How was it not working out?
Did he leave me for another?
Did I do something wrong?
Why?

Were the questions going through my head.

My stomach growled loudly.

I unlocked my self out of the stall and headed towards the lunchroom.

I glanced at Miranda, who was enjoying her lunch with her boyfriend Daniel.

I sat on the floor, and ate lunch.

I had math next.

My stomach twist and turned.
It ached and spoke with sad noises.

"But if X equals to 12 the answer won't be 165 because--" The teacher explained to a blonde in a blue and green cheerleading uniform.

I raised my hand.

She raised her hand up informing me to wait.

"Whadda you need help with, sweetie pie?" She said sweetly.

" I don't feel very well." I said.

She put her cold hand over my forehead.
Her hand was harsh, but soft.

"You have to go the nurse." She said walking to her desk.

I stood up and followed her.
"Here sweetie pie." She passed me the nurse pass.

I went past Rodger's desk, not even looking at him.
Not even breathing near him.

I worked my way through the hallways.

My stomach growled loudly.
Like it was yelling in pain.

I bend down to my knees.

"Are you okay!?" A voice said.

I looked up.

Blue eyes, caramel-brown hair.

"I'm fine." I lied as I took her hand.

"You sure?"

"I'm sure." I lied with a fake smile.

I walked away.

I went to the nurse and I was excused to go back to the hotel.

I struggled me way back to math to return the pass to the teacher.

"You okay?" Ms.Erica said as she took the pass.

"I'm going back home"

" Oh ok, get well soon sweetie pie." She said.

I grabbed my backpack and headed to the hotel.

The bus was silent.
Like if I was the only one there.

Mouths moved, babies yelled, but yet I head nothing but

" I think we should take a break"
" I think we should take a break"
"I think we should take a break"

I got off and walked to the hotel.

"Oh coming early today?" Doorman Mike said.
" I don't feel well." I explained.
"I got sick once. In the middle of a roller coaster ride. It was kinder hard, to well, ya know."
I giggled as I pressed the silver button of the elevator.

The elevator was there in a matter of seconds, and to the twelve floor I went.

I took off my coat and threw my bookbag at the floor.

I threw myself in the couch and started at the wall.

For the first time ever, I want to go back home.
Not to be in a hotel.
I want to go back home with Gabrielle and Sophia.

That feeling was terrible.
I mean, it's Ohio.

Hours passed and the girls came back.

"Hey Bella, I heard you were sick!" Laura yelled.
"You feeling fine?"
"Bells! I was worried."
"You okay?"

They questioned me.

"I'm fine!" I yelled taking my coat.

" Where are you going!?" Miranda yelled.

"TO FIND BETH!"

~BELLS

Yes, you read please.

"YOU'RE GONNA MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M THE ONLY GURL IN THE WORLD!" I sang to the top of my lungs.

"BELLA!" Miranda yelled.
I turned down the volume.
"Whhhat?"
"Glee dinner, tonight." She said.
"WHAT!? It's today!?"
"No, tomorow you idiot"
" Oh okay!" I joked.
"IT'S TODAY!" She yelled.
" I know that." I ran into my closet digging for something to wear.
"AHA!" I yelled pulling a black and white dress
I slipped into the dress over a green tee.

I put on some green converse and let my long layers of black-brown hair fall against my back.
I dared myself to go inside Laura's room.
I found a silver pocketbook thingy that fits barely anything in it.


"READY!" I yelled as I finished putting on my millions of bracelets into my left arm.

"You need some make-up" Miranda said coming in as I put on my fishnet glove.
"I don't think so." I replied running out of the room before she caught me.

"Come on, lets go!" Marie yelled opening the door.
I ran out the door twirling and dancing to the elevator.

I bumped into some hard and warm.
I looked up.

It was Danny and Rodger.

Rodger had a bouquet of daises, my favorite flower.

"For you." He said handing me the bouquet.
"Thank you SO much!" I said hugging him.

He brushed his hair out his face with his finger.

Daniel smiled brightly as Miranda skipped to him.

He handed her the purple roses and they kissed.

" Aww." I said.

And we rode down the elevator to find the rest of the boys outside.

We twirled in the streets all singing "Alejandro"

"We're going to the finals, we're going to the finals, we're going to the finals!" I twirled with Miranda.

We went to the restaurant and there Ms.Terry waited for us.

" Hello there!" Ms.Terry greeted us awkwardly
"Oh oh, she's gonna say something. What if we're stuck in the hotel for two months?" Miranda whispered.
" So, I just decided to take you guys out. I mean, you guys are stuck in that hotel room."
"yes!" We all agreed.

We ate fancy lasgaña, drank fancy drinks, and ate fancy cake.

It was an okay...

~BELLS

I'm leaving in exactly 7 days, or a week I should say.
I want to meet you sisters, Beth!

Ohio girls in a hotel room.

Hello, there.

I'm here in the hotel.

In a boring hotel room.

Our shell-shaped soap isn't even shaped like a shell.

Internet doesn't help, the wii is getting old, And Bella Alexis Flynne has to GET OUT OF HERE!

URGENTLY.

Now.

Pronto.

No, seriously.

Though the hotel room seemed fancy and awesome at first, when your living in it, IT'S NOT SO FUN!

So if they're someone out there, (Ahem) That could offer a sleepover or a tour around town?
*Ahem* Beth *Ahem*

I would be more than glad to hear you from you

~BELLS
Ohian by choice

Bella-hating tree. I'm still waiting.

"I could sleep last night!" Miranda said as she walked into the living room with her jammies.
Everyone nodded, the room was silent besides Laura's loud crying.

"Laura, are you going to school?" Miranda knocked her door.

"NO!Because there I will see boys and it will remind of--" She cried louder.

" This is torture!" Miranda yelled putting her hands over her ears.

"I'm gonna go change now" Miranda announced going back to our room.

"That's it! I'm going somewhere!" I yelled as Laura gave the loudest scream.

And so I took my pea coat, and left.

I headed to the sandwich shop to buy lunch.

"I'd expected to see you here!" Rodger said as I walked in.

" I'm gonna miss this place when we leave." I confessed,tapping one of the tables.

"The usual please." I ordered.

I sat down in front of Rodger.

" You had breakfast?" He asked.

" Yesh"

I thought.

"Wait... Did you say you and Laura went out for a year?" I questioned him.
" Yeah?"
"Why is she crying over her two-year relationship?"
" Because, well... She had him before me. When I found out I dumped her, and probably he found out and dumped her too. " He explained.

"You don't trust me." He added.

" Yes, I do."

"NO, you don't."

"Yes I do."

"Lie."

"Not."

" You don't"

"I do"

"Does your hair ever get curly?"

"No"

"Why not"

"Because it doesn't"

"But why?"

"I DON'T KNOW"

"Why don't you kiss me?"

I stayed silent.

"You have no reason." He added.

" I do."

"What?"

"I don't want to kiss you."

"Why not?"

"Changed the subject." I demanded.

"Do you want to go the movies with me? You can invite some one, I guess"

"Sure."

"After you," He said opening the door.\

" What will we watch?" I asked.

"I don't know."

We got to the school and headed to our classes.

It was an okay day I guess. We ate at the lunchroom, it was a torture.

Who knew tortillas could work so well as frisbees?

" I wanna live in a house." I told Miranda.

" I want to live somewhere else than a cramped apartment." I added.

"I wish I could live in Ohio." Miranda said.

"Yeah me too. I wanna to go to a sleep over this weekend, I'm just waiting for her to call me." I said.

"You have even met anyone." Miranda said.

"Not in the school." I said.

"Watch out!" Miranda yelled moving out of my way.

Something hard hit me in the back of my head.

Then it was all black.

I opened my eyes like if I just blinked.

"She's awake!" Miranda's voice yelled.

" Brownie, how are you feeling?" Rodger asked.

I sat up.

"What happened? Why am I in the hospital?"

"A tree branch fell on you. But everything is fine." The doctor said.

" You can go home as soon as you feel like your ready." He added.

"Let's go." I demanded, standing up.

" Are you okay? You sure?" Rodger held me.

"I'm fine" I lied.

" I feel a little doozy,but I'm fine." I added.

We took the bus and went to the hotel.

"Are you okay!?" Laura asked.

"I'm fine, How are you feeling?" I asked her.

"Much better. Wanna play Wii?"

"Sure."

We played Wii for hours and hours.

My phone rang in the other room.

I exucsed my self and picked up the phone.

It was just the dog sitter.

" Was it the girl for the sleepover?" Miranda asked as I came back to the room.

"Nope, I wish it was. I mean, we leave next weekend and I want to have some fun!" I said.

She agreed.

And then, I fell asleep.

With my phone in one hand, laptop on the other,

~BELLS

Freak

"Oh... My.... Gawsh!" Laura said as she saw me reading a book.

"What?" I didn't look up from my book.

"GURLS! WE'RE GOING TO THE MALL TO GET BELLA A NEW WARDROBE!" Laura yelled.

"What!?" I yelled looking up from my book.

I looked down at myself.


Grey sweatpants, navy tee, and beat-up tan uggs.

"Let go" She said pulling me.

"Wait!" I said, wiggling my arm free.

I ran o the closet and got myself one of Miranda's navy headbands.

"Better?" I asked.

"Better!" She said.

" I have nice clothes... I just choose not to wear it..." I explained.

I kept on reading my book as we walked to the elevator.

" Bella doesn't need a new wardrobe" Miranda said.

" Yes, she does." Laura said.

"She looks fine to me, I love her headband-- wait is that MY headband?!" Miranda yelled as we rode down the elevator.

I ignored her.

We walked to the bus.

" So, what going on between you and Danny...?" Laura said pointing her towards Miranda.

"Nothing, nothing. Really. Nada" She said.

Laura Mmmhmmmm-ed.

After a few stops , we were there.

"LETS GO IN HERE!" Laura said, pointing at a store.

I groaned, but kept going.

"Try this, OH! And this... This one's prettier. This one is totally you!" She said picking up hundreds of things.

"Laura..." I started.

"Yes, I'm paying for everything." She read my mind.

"OMIGAWSH, YOU LOOK HORRIBLE!" Laura yelled when I came out of the dressing room.

I looked at my self in the mirror.

"Laura, it's actually really nice." I looked at myself in the mirror, I had on a short black and white dress over a green tee.


She picked out more stuff.

I sat down in the window seat, and looked across the glass.

"OHMIGAWSH! Now, that's me!" I yelled.

"We'll go there next." She said, not looking outside.

"Do you like this one?" She took out a pink shirt.
"No."
"This one is nice."
"No"
"This one, is so you!" She showed me a sock monkey tee.
" Yea!"
"But you here for a better wardrobe, not a worst one!" She said, putting it back in place.
I groaned as we walked to the cash register.

Laura placed all the clothes in the desk.

" Yay! You got a new wardrobe!" Laura said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Hey, wait for me outside I have to use the bathroom." I said.

"Okay!" Laura said, passing right past a sign that read

BATHROOM IS FOR EMPLOYEES ONLY

In big, red, letters.

I giggled.

I quickly went to get the sock monkey tee, the dress, and the green tee.S

I ran to the cashiers.

I paid and stuffed the bag in my bag...


"Let's go!" I said coming out of the store.

Then we walked to the store across, and bought alot of awesome clothes.

"NO!" Laura yelled as she saw me putting clothing in the cashier desk.

"NO! NO! NO! NOOO!" She yelled taking all the stuff.

"Laura!" I yelled.

"This is not what we came here for!" She argued.

"Well, it's time to buy things that I like!" I said, snatching the pile of clothe out of her arms.

"Fine!" She said walking away.
"Fine!" I said.

"Sorry, thanks!" I said to the cashier as I picked up my bags.

"Ugh! She bought a bunch of ugly clothes!" Laura was talking to Miranda.

"So what, I can buy whatever I can. " I argued.
"Well now, your going to look like TRASH!" She yelled.

"Like you don't" I smiled and turned.

She gasped loudly.

"I'm going to return this!" She yelled.
I shrugged.

She called me a female dog, like I cared.

I bumped into a tall figure.

"Sorry!" I squealed looking up.

"It's okay." Rodger moved his hair out of his face.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.

(That usually happens a lot ^)

"I asked first." He won.
"Laura wanted me to get a new wardrobe. After she got me some clothe I went into an awesome store and she got a tantrum, and she called me trash and a (beeep) . " I quickly explained.

" Why?"
"I don't she turned into a fashion freak.So, why are YOU here?" I smiled.

" I came to buy an awesome video game that came out not long ago, and I heard it was so cool, and we get extra powerblitz lazor-"
" NO way!" I said sarcastically.
He smiled.

And leaned in, once again.

I covered his mouth.

"What'd I do?" He asked.
"Don't try it." I demanded.

"Just, don't" I added.

We went to the food court.

He hugged me.
"You know, double dates are really fun. I was wondering if we could go to one with Miranda and Danny." He said, not letting go.

I looked over his shoulder and I say Laura coming by.

She walked quickly, she gave me a cold stare.

She got closer and pulled Rodger away and gave him a long kiss.

I thought quickly and poured my large soda into her head.

"UGH!" She groaned.

"He taken." I cleared up.

"Well, he loved me first. Before you! For a YEAR babay!" She bragged.

"You what?" I looked at Rodger.

" Bella, Laura... Laura and I went out... for a year." He explained.

" And he LOVED me." She added.

" NO, I didn't." He argued.

"Yes you did. You still do." She twirled her wet dark blond hair.

"NO, I don't!" He argued again.

(He's so cute when he's mad xD)

" Oh yeah, why'd you kiss me?" She asked.

"You kissed me!" He didn't give up.

"Oh yeah. You looove me!" She teased.

I sat down.

" I love Bella. " He added.

I blushed.

" Oh yeah?" She said.

He grabbed me bu the hips and kissed me.

My eyes grew wide.

"RODGER!" I yelled.

Laura screamed and ran away.

"What'd I say?" I yelled at Rodger.

"I love you." He said.

"UGH!" I grabbed my bags and left Rodger alone.

I texted Miranda:

Were r u?

I followed her directions.

" Hey Miranda!" I said, waving.

Laura glanced at me and ran over to attack.

Miranda and Daniel grabbed her.

She struggled to get out.

Miranda did some hand signals informing me to leave.

And so I did.

I stocked up my closet with my brand new, Bella-appropriate clothing.

"She's going INSANE!" Miranda startled me as she closed the door behind me.

"Why'd she go crazy?" I asked.

"Well, it turns out her 2 year boy friend broke up with her." She answered.

" I knew somehting was wrong, I mean she went all pinkish and freaky." I added.

" Yeah." She agreed.

"Ugh, we're in OHIO! And we're spending our days stuck in a hotel room, or in the sandwhich shop, or the mall." I groaned.

" I know right!" She said.

"I wish someone would show me around Ohio." I added.

~BELLS
P.S. Anastisa arts is MY school in NY.
Idk what the school I'm going to now is called, because I don't give a poop.

School in Ohio

"Bella, I told you to wake up 5 times arleady!" Miranda's sweet voice argued with me.

I groaned.


"That's it! I'm getting the water bucket." She said.

"Uh-uh" I said.

"Say I won't." She said.

"You won't!" I argued.

"I'm just kidding!" I said standing up.

She had a serious face.

"Fine." I said, standing up.

"First day all over again..." I thought to myself.

I took a shower and changed into the itchy uniform.

" This is worst than Anastasia Arts!" I exclaimed, scratching my shoulder.

" Tell me about it!" Miranda said looking at her self in the mirror.

I groaned as I took off my so-called "extra piercings" which were considered "inappropriate".


"IT'S STUPID UNIFORM TIIIIIME!" Laura yelled from the other room.

"We're off! WEEEE'REE OFF!!" I yelled as we all left.

(It's an inside joke)

They're was a unison of WE'RE OFF! went off behind me.


"THE GIRLS ARE HERE! THE GIRLS ARE HERE!" Daniel yelled. Just like "The cabs are HEA!".

Warm hands wrapped my eyes.

"Rodger" I guess.
" It's to obvious?" He asked almost like a sentence.
" Yes." I answered.
" Did you have breakfast?" He asked.
"Yes."
"Do want anything to eat?"
"No"
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine."
" Liar." He started again.
" Not." I argued.
" Nervous?" He asked.
"No." I answered
"K, I'm gonna go buy something to eat." He said.

"I'll go." I said.
"It's OK I'll meet you." He said.
"I'm going." I demanded, and followed his into the sandwich shop.

"Bacon, egg & cheese please" He ordered.
" And hot chocolate." He added.
" You don't want anything?" He asked again.
"No, thanks." I answered.

He payed for his order and we we're off.

When she came in.
She.
Her.
What's her name.

Rodger glanced at her.

"Let's go." He demanded. I started walking.

She smiled at him.

I gave her a cold stare.
The coldest I got give.

And they're we were outside in the cold.

He said a few well, not appropriate words under his breath about her.

"YO ROD!" Daniel yelled.

"Hey!" Miranda yelled at me.

"Hey!" I said, smiling.

"Someones in a better mood!" She said.

"I sure am!" I agreed.

"Can I ask you something?" I said.

" Sure."

" How did Rodger ask you out, or you asked him out."

"No like any other boy would.Why?" I asked.

"Well..." She started.

" I like... Danny." She whispered. Daniel, my duet partner.

" Awww! Go for it!" I encouraged her.

"WE'RE HERE!" Gabe yelled.

We got off the bus.

"Good luck" Rodger put his hand over my shoulder.

"Good luck to you, too." I told him.

He leaned in for a kiss.

I quickly thought of an excuse.

"Oh! I think I just heard the bell!Gottago bye!" I quickly walked away.

"He's so cute!" Girls walked over to Rodger.

"NO!" He walked away to me and hung by my arm.

"I'm taken." He looked back at them, smiling.

"Hello! I would like to welcome a few students who will be here for the next week." The teacher said.

I slightly waved to the kids in the classroom.

I sat in the empty chair.

I could feel everyone staring at me.

The classes were OK.

I had German with Laura....

And the lunchroom... Terror.

Your worst nightmare.

A little food fight in the corner.

Teachers blowing whistles like crazy.

And they're were "clique" tables.

The nerds, the drama-queens&kings, the popular, the want-to-be popular, and much more.

We ate outside the lunchroom in the floor.

"How was you day?" Rodger sat down next to me.
" Ok."
" You miss Anastasia arts?" He asked.
"Not really."
He offered me a grilled-chicken sandwich.

That second a tortilla flew out from the lunch room like a Frisbee, hitting Miranda right in the face.

"Are you ok?!" Daniel said picking up the tortilla.

Miranda blushed.

"Yesh, I'm okay.But it fell in my soup" She said.

"I'll give you half of my sandwich." He offered and so they did.

And they kissed.

Then we had a few more classes, and band.

"Okay, I want to introduce you to Bella Flynne." The teacher said.

I heard a low "Bella?" from a row.

"Do you play anything in your school?" He asked.

"I play guitar, and in band I play the clarinet." I said.

" Play for us!" He went inside a closet.

"I-- but--" He took out a guitar.

"Fine." I tuned it, and played a few notes.

" Nice!" He said.

"Now you sit there, and you can watch for now." He explained.

And so I did.

I barely looked at anyone.

Then It was over, they weird day was over.

I walked out.

I went past the auditorium.
I heard a beautiful voice.
I got closer.

"I'm so sorry!" A sweet voice said.
"Sorry! It just sounded really nice and I wanted to hear--" I stopped.
" Oh that's glee!" She said.
"Cool!" I said.
"I'm in glee back in my school." I added.
" Oh, your that Bella girl everyone is talking abo--" She stopped.
"Talking about me?" I asked.
"I gotta go." She walked away.

I walked down a hallway with a huge crowd.

Rodger was there.

It was an argument.

"She LOVES me! She doesn't like you!" A tall one argued.
" No, She doesn't so shut the (choice word) up! Everyone knows you hit on every girl!" Another one said.

The tall one threw a punch. Directly in the face.
Soon enough the short one did too.

Rodger grabbed the short one, trying to stop the fight.
But instead he got a elbow right bellow the eye.

He groaned.

I ran to him

"OMIGAWSH!" His cheekbone was bleeding.

"We have to go!" I said pulling him to the direction of the nurse.

I groaned as the nurse put something in his face and he yelled.

"Go, Bella. Go. I'll meet you there." He said.
"But--"
"Go." He said.

So I went to the hotel.

He called me an hour later.

"Brownie?" He asked.
"Yeah.How are you?" I asked.
"I'm fine."
"Who was it between?"
"I don't know."
" It was about a girl"

I thought back.

"What if it was Sal?"

~BELLS

Pwned

"Okay, good news." Ms.Terry started.

We all paid close attention.

"We're going to school for the rest if our trip!" She said excited.

Everyone groaned.

I threw myself back at the couch.

"Stop complaining! You guys start tomorrow, but there isn't any school on Thursday!" She said.

We groaned again.

"The school were going to partners with our school. It's called... I have no Idea, but you guys are going!" She said.

We groaned again.

"Okay, that's all I had to say!" She said.

Everyone stood up at the same time and left.

I decided to go to the sandwich shop. (Boy, they make GOOOOD sandwiches)

I pushed the cold glass door with a flashback.

"Did you brake up with your girlfriend yet?: The voice repeated in my head.

"The usual, please." I told the cashier.

When my order was finished, I sat down and started eating like a crazy dog.

"Did you break up with your girlfriend yet?"
"Did you break up with your girlfriend yet?"
"Did you break up with your girlfriend yet?
The voice haunted me.

"ARGH!" I groaned with my mouth full.

" Bella," A soft hand went over my shoulder.

"We need to talk." Rodger said.

I took a deep break and closed my eyes tightly.

"She, was tricking you, we never went out." He explained.

I didn't dare to take my eyes off the sandwich.

"Bella, I like you. Not her." He continued.

"But, maybe we're better of without each other." I explained.

" If you really feel like it. Then, I guess so. " He stood up.


I looked at his chocolate eyes. Watery they were.

He walked away slowly. Went it hit me.

It hit me HARD.

Tear filled my eyes.
Fast.
Flashbacks once again.

"I love you." The voice said.
"Anything for you" It said.

"What did I just do?" I told myself.

What did I do?

"Or not." I stood up, not looking at him.

I heard his footsteps stop.

" Suddenly, my choice is clear. I knew when only you and I were standing here." I sang my duet quietly.

" And beautiful is all I see." He sang quietly. I faced him

"I know it's you, I know it's true, It has to be..." We sang together.

He hugged me, exploding my guts.

"I can't believe I got tricked." I said.

They was silence.

I could hear his heartbeat.

"So, you wanna go get Sal pwned?" I asked him?

"Sure" He said.

I threw out my garbage and we walked out.

" What'd Sal do to Beth?" He asked as we took the bus.
