Back to the beginning

I carefully placed the box I carried on to the wooden floor, making sure no contents broke.

"Okay!This is the last box," Beatrice said, placing a small box on top of our new counter.

"Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Lilly for helping us move," I thanked Dawn's parents.

"Dude... is this a SLINKY?!" Dawn said, taking out the spiral toy out of a box.

"It was our pleasure, Clarabella." Mrs. Lilly smiled.

"DUDE. I haven't seen one in YEARS!" Dawn bounced the pink and yellow spiral toy around.

I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Hey, need anymore help, just give us a call, eh?" Mr.Lilly said.

"I'll do so," I smiled.

A loud thump came from one of the bedrooms.

"Dawn?!" I ran to the room.

Dawn sprawled across the floor tied around the slinky.

The family and I laughed loudly. Dawn gave us the stink eye.

"I'll get the scissors!" I smiled.

Soon we got Dawn out of her slinky trap, and we all laughed together.

Dawn and I hugged our good-byes. "Good luck in school, kiddo." I said.

"Yeah yeah thanks. Where's that bakery you told me about?" She asked.

"A few blocks away," I responded.

"OKAY BYEEEE" and she ran off.

"Bye, Clara!" Evangeline,Dawn's elder sister, said.

"Goodbye Evy!" I hugged her.

"I'll stop by occasionally!" She said, waving.

That's right, I remembered that she was moving here for college soon.

I waved my last goodbyes to the family through the window.

"I can't believe we moved already!" I told Beatrice.

"It's very unbelievable. eek!" She responded.

I ran to one of the bedrooms.

"I claim this one!" I yelled, echo bouncing back to my eardrums.

"Fine then!" Beatrice laughed.

"We should go paint shopping tomorrow," She suggested.

Before I could respond the bell rang.

"Looks like we've got our first visitor!" I smiled.

I opened the door and it revealed the one and only Rodger.

"R-R-Rodger?" My eyes couldn't believe the figure was standing right in front of me.

"It's me, in flesh!" He smiled.

"Oh my god, hi!" I hugged him.

"So, where's the moving truck?" Rodger asked.

"Well, there isn't any moving truck, our parents bought us all the furniture and the my friend's parents helped us move it all in!" I said.

"You're a little late on the help, haha." Bea laughed.

"Hey, wanna grab some lunch?" Rodger asked.

I looked at the floor.

"It's all on me," he convinced.

"Um... Can Beatrice go?" I asked.

If Rodger and I went alone to eat some lunch... it would be extremely awkward. In fact, it would feel like a date. It would be against what I'm trying to aim for.

"Sure!" He said.

"BEA! WE'RE GOING TO LUNCH WITH RODGER!" I yelled.

"OKAY!" She yelled back.

And so we went to enjoy a decent lunch at Panera.

Just as friends. Everything was back to normal.

The Letter

My hands tapped the bed to the beat of the song that played in my ears.

This certain day has been uninteresting,dull,tiring.

Dawn and her family were off to a dentist visit, and I decided I would not accompany them.

I've been staying with Dawn and her family for the entire summer.

I surfed the channels on TV, nothing.

The internet wasn't a solution to my boredom, either.

I checked my cellphone if I had received any text messages or had any missed calls;nothing.

I scrolled down through my old conversations; laughing.

Until I reached Rodger's.

I had ignored six of his texts. I know he realized that he realized that I never trusted him, even thought it was not true.

I tried explaining to him over a text that I broke up with him because I had a lot to think about.

He ignored me, as well.

He deleted me as a friend on facebook.

For the last few weeks of school he wouldn't even look at me.

But when there's nothing to do; you start thinking.

And so is what I did.

I thought about what Rodger meant to me before I ~dated~ him.

Rodger and I were very close.

We were best friends.

We laughed with each other.

When we started dating, our perspectives of each other....let's say changed. Possibly to a next level.

But I thought to myself; I miss when Rodger was my best friend. When he wasn't {Well, attempted to be} romantic.

I wanted to see him again; but see him as the Rodger that was my best friend.

I stood up and and grabbed a pen and a piece of paper and started to write:

Dear Rodger,

I know that in the past two months we didn't exactly end up in the right note, but I've been thinking. Maybe we weren't ready to start dating. Maybe it happened too quick. Maybe we took it too far too soon. Perhaps we too our relationship too seriously. But nothing of that matters anymore. Remember when we were friends? Just friends? When we laughed with each other more often? When tried to beat each other at things? When you broke my falls?When you saved my nose from suffering by catching the ball? I want to go back, start off fresh; they way they started last year. I want to be friends.

Love,

BELLS

Writer's note: Bella's name was changed from Anabella to Clarabella. {her nickname will remain Bella}

Writer's note II: Felicity "Liz"'s name has been changed to Beatrice.

Please excuse all the name changing D:

Kissing dares

I headed up the hill slowly with no exact destination.

At the corner of the hill I noticed that the walls interior of Sunset Bakery were painted a darker shade of purple. Girls from campus would hang out inside the bakery drinking tea or coffee and eating sweet treats, Like Analiese Millers. Some of them sat at the roof and watched the sunset around six during winter, wrapped up in cute coats and hot chocolate warming their hands. Eventually you'd see boys from campus there flirting with girls, some typing up projects, or just simply ordering some kind of sweet.

A few blocks away was Jinx Arcade, where most boys hung out. I had my first date there. After school and on weekends, campus boys spend their whole days in there using up all their money for playing games and eating junk, and procrastinating homework.

I felt a warm breath behind me and turned around. Rodger stood there smiling.

"You,me, date; I'll pick you up at 6:00," He said.

"Sure, but the bad boy thing isn't really working out on me too much," I smiled.

"Hey, Bella! Rodger! Come on let's hang out at the park!" Daniel's voice boomed from behind us.

I looked up at Rodger and he gave me a approval nod and held my hand as we walked towards Daniel.

Daniel invited some other students including Analiese, Miranda, Joel, Mary, Laura, and Jamie.

"Hey guys, Can I tag along?" One of the voices I hated the most said behind us.

"Sure,Margaret!" Daniel said, and that very moment my fist curled up in a fist.

"She changed a lot, Bella," Miranda whispered.She rolled her eyes.

"I hardly doubt that," Analiese nudged my shoulder.

We headed towards campus instead, and flopped down at the tennis court, since it was the only court that wasn't being used at this time of the day.

After a while of chatting, Daniel suggested we'd play a game.

"A game, seriously, we aren't five anymore,remember?" Joel groaned.

"No... Like...." Daniel paused for a moment.

"Like, truth and dare?" Jamie said.

"Exactly!" Daniel approved.

"Oh! Can I go first?" Jamie raised her hand and waved it around like a maniac.

Daniel nodded and she started.

"I dare...." She looked around.

"I dare Bella and Rodger to kiss!"

"I've seen them already," Daniel groaned.

"Yeah, me too!" Joel said. Laura and Marie nodded in agreement.

Yes!

I said to myself.

"But their a cute couple! C'mon!" Analiese shrieked.

I remembered Margaret was there, and looked over at her. She gave me a stare. I reminded myself that she likes Rodger. It was school registration, when she pushed me into that rock that sliced my knee, when she kicked my stomach and almost got away.

I raised my eye brow and gave her the same cold stare she gave me and she rolled her eyes.

I turned to my left and stood up on my knees. Rodger supported himself with his right arm.

My arms curled around his neck and I kissed him quickly.

"AWWWWW!" Analiese shrieked.

Margaret's face filled with fury.

"I pick Rodger," Margaret said.

Of course, I thought to myself.

I thought about what I just did.

"Um.. okay,"

"Truth or dare,"

He thought for a while.

"Dare," He answered.

"Kiss me," She said.

I raised an eyebrow.

"What?" He asked.

"I said, I dare you to kiss me,"

"No way!"

Analiese gasped under her breath and Marie and Laura were both looking at Rodger and Margaret like they were some kind of movie they were watching.

The boys' eyes were wide.

Miranda just smirked.

"You can't say no to a dare," She said.

"This game is over," Rodger stood up.

Margaret stood up and chased after him.

She pulled his hoodie and and he spun around facing her.

Her arms quickly landed around his neck and she kissed tightly.

Fury filled inside me and I dropped my bag and started to run towards Margaret intending to pull all her fake hair out her head.

I managed to push her away from Rodger but Joel grabbed me. My arms froze under his lock, but I kicked the air hardly.

I yelled my lungs out.

"LET ME GO, JOEL!" I yelled.

Miranda stood next to Margaret just smirking.

Margaret walked towards me, but Joel turned around.

He turned back around when Analiese was yelling to Margaret.

"Why would you do that?!" is all I got from what she was yelling.

Rodger walked over to me, evidently angry.

"Let her go, bro." He demanded.

"I'm pretty sure that's not the greatest idea, Rodger,"

"I know, but, just let her go,"

He let go and I ran, but I was quickly inside Rodger's trap.

"Rodger.Please.Let.Me.go," I demanded.

"I will not," He said.

"I'm just going to go to my dorm," I said.

"Really?"

"Really."

He let me go. I grabbed my bag and I headed towards my dorm.

Footsteps followed behind me.

"What do you want from me?!" I said, and turned around.

"You do I didn't kiss her, right?" He asked.

I didn't answer.

"He didn't," Margaret's voice said.

She appeared and stood closely.

She paused for a moment to look at Rodger.

It almost seemed like they read each other's minds.

Her high heel hit the floor. She looked down.

She looked up and her lips were pressed together. Her arms swung slowly, her eyes stared up at the clouds. For a few seconds she remained like so; and finally opened her mouth to talk.

Instead she took a mouthful of air, messed with her lashes and took a step towards me.

"But," Her eyebrow raised and she looked back at Rodger.

"Have you asked him who he had kissed during the period of time you were gone?"

She looked at me and tapped her fingers against her thigh.

She gave a small chuckle under her breath and nodded. She walked away.

She stopped next to me and whispered to my ear

"I'm not trying to hurt you, I'm revealing the truth for you own good," Her face pulled away from my ear and walked away.

"Bella, I didn't kiss anyone while you were gone," His arms opened to give me a hug but I pushed him away.

"Don't have go near me ever again, Rodger." I said in a low warning voice.

"But Bella," He said.

I noticed Analiese heel's clacked towards us.

"Just, let her think," She whispered into his ear.

I glazed at him.

Analiese tugged my arm gently, and we headed towards the dorms.

And for the first time, I heard a small sniffle from behind.

~BELLS.

" Welcome back , Rodger! " Voices said in collision.

A crowd gathered around Rodger and his mother with balloons,cards and flowers.

"I'd better get going; play audition!" Gwenyth said, waving as she walked.

"I'm going to audition as one of the dancers for the play as well, So I'll see you in mathematics" Lea waved to me, and so she followed her twin sister.

I sat down at a bench, and just followed the crowd as it got bigger and bigger.

" ROD! " I heard Danny, Rodger's best friend, yell his name.

He squeezed through the crowd and pounded Rodger and finished off with a manly hug.

Students held balloons and cards, even flowers. The clique of girls who were completely in love with Rodger oowed and awed and tried to reach up to him.

I decided to leave Rodger some air to breath and stood up walking to the crowd.

The crowd paid no mind to me, until I said

"EXCUSE ME!" In my loudest voice.

The crowd turned their heads and it seemed like the whole campus had fallen silent.

The crowd separated to let me through. I reached over to Rodger and my arms fell over his shoulders , and I whispered "Thought I'd give you some space,", and kissed him.

We walked over to the gym building, yet the crowd followed us until the bell rang.

"Bye guys, thanks for the stuff!" He said, holding up a bouquet of flowers.

"I thought they'd never leave," I said.

He smiled and waved with his free hand as he walked away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey," Rodger sat down next to me.

Gwenyth and Lea gave me a little smirk, and I rolled my eyes.

Gwenyth and Lea carefully watched us, but I know they aren't used to seeing us together.

"Hey!" Caitlin Johnson walked up and sat down.

"Hey Kate," Gwenyth said.

Emily is Gwenyth and Lea's best friend, she visits me and Gwenyth's dorm a lot.

"Hey Caitlin," I smiled.

"Hey Bella, how's Coconut?" She asked.

"Oh, he's fine. He's in the animal daycare," I explained.

"Cool. Hey Gwena, did you hear about Margaret?" They whispered.

They whispered to each other, and soon enough it was feeling a bit awkward.

"We'll be leaving now," I said, picking up my tray and nudging Rodger in the arm carefully.

"Okay. See you in --"

"Bella," A familiar voice said. Her tray hit the table.

I looked up and saw Miranda. I had completely forgotten Miranda. She lived in my building.

"I'm really sorry I was being mean to you a few weeks ago. But I have a surprise. Dorm room 462 hallway 7, I'll be there by four," She left.

"What do you think she wants to give you?" asked Rodger, throwing away the excess food in his tray.

"I honestly have no absolute idea. Let's go outside," I said, pulling his hand.

We sat down under a shade provided by a tree.

I placed my head on his shoulder.

"How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Please don't," He said moving over to be able to look at me.

"Don't what?" I asked.

"I feel you don't... like me," He said.

I looked up to him in shock.

"Like your just doing all of this because I took the risk to go inside that burning building to find you," He said.

I just stared in awe.

"Doing all of what? I don't understand,"

"You know like kissing me and being more romantic and so,"

"Okay then I shall no longer kiss you," I said, turning my back on him.

"It's not that I don't want you to kiss me, I mean, I do really want you to kiss me, But it's not really you; before all of this happened, you never kissed me as often, you know?" He explained.

I placed my head on my knees for a while.

"So you're basically breaking up with me?" I asked.

"I feel like... yes," He said.

That was enough.

Before my eyes would rain tears, I grabbed my bag and stood up.

"I can't believe it,that's what you think I'm doing?" I stopped.

"All I wanted to do is give you something back. I wanted to make you feel the way I felt when you came out of that building," I realized that I was almost yelling.

I wiped my tears with my sleeves.

" I thought I'd thank you in a way; something a long that line.I can't think right now. I can barely speak because of what you are thinking. I thought I'd be even with you... I just... wanted --"

He grabbed my arm and spun me around and somehow our lips landed together.

I pulled my arms in top of his shoulders. I fell into a small fantasy in a way. His lips separated from mine's and he whispered something in my ear.

"That was enough to clean my mind from those thoughts. I hope you forgive me," He said.

He looked and whispered again, "And you didn't have to be even with me," He said.

The bell rung and he walked away, but I ignored the bell and just sat under the tree scribbling words on a piece of printing paper.

After the bell rung once again, I decided to head off to the music hall, which surprisingly isn't actually a hall, it's actually right in the same building as the auditorium.

I did my usual of playing violin, then headed off to the rest of my classes.

After what seemed a long day; I said goodbye to Rodger and headed off to my room.

"I don't want to join Glee club," Caitlin discussed with Gwenyth as I entered the room.

"I suggest not to either," I said.

"Well hello to you too; Ms.Terry isn't in the school anymore anyways; had some kind of drinking problem; Her husband had died recently;" She explained.

I suddenly felt upset for Ms.Terry.

"Oh, yeah, I have to get something from Miranda,"

I walked over to the dorm room and we talked for a while.

"Here's what I wanted to give you," She held up a bird cage.

I looked closely.

"Jazz!"

I opened the little wired door and the small rodent climbed into my hands.

I set the hamster on my lap and hugged Miranda.

"Thank you, so, so much!" I said.

I hid the small cage inside my bag.

Luckily Gwenyth loved little Jazzy, and so we were to discuss something-- something I didn't hear what-- tomorrow, then Gwenyth dozed off in her sleep.

~BELLS

Super Rodger

(Click here for part one)

My mouth widened in shock as the officers took him to the paramedics.

I stood frozen, still trying to unravel the thoughts in my brain.

"I thought you were dead,"

"I thought you were dead,"

"I thought you were dead,"

"I thought you were dead,"

"I thought you were dead,"

The five words repeated in my brain. My hands pulled into my hair, as I tried to sort out things from my brain.

I snuggled under the thin sheets of my new bed, trying to ignore the fact that Rodger was daring enough to go inside a burning building to save me.

"Bella," Gwenyth, my new roommate called my name.

I poked my head out from the bed sheets.

"Would you like to go shopping tomorrow?" She asked.

I placed my head on the pillow again.

"Behalf of my mother and I, of course. She would like to supply us with new decorations for the dorm," She explained.

I looked around the dorm room.

It was very dull. Not a splash of paint on the walls, we weren't allowed to paint the walls anyways. I figured it would use some wall decorations, a few floor lams, a colorful rug, a bit of spunk.

"I can't take that offer," I denied.

"Come on,Bell, please?" She begged.

"No, Gwen, I just can't do that to yo--"

"It's all on my mother, please, I couldn't pick out decorations for our dorm without your opinion,"

"Fine," I smiled.

"Yay!" She poked her nose back into her book.

I smiled and looked at my phone, which reminded me, we might need a watch on the wall as well.

I ignored the whole decorating thing and changed quickly.

"May I ask, but where are you heading?" Gwenyth asked.

I grabbed my bag and opened my mouth to answer, but Gwenyth stopped me from so.

"I'm not stalking, I don't wonder where you are going, I'm just letting you know that we have two hours until curfew," She smiled.

"Oh, well I have enough time to go to the vet and the hospital, well if you wanted to know that," I chuckled.

I positioned the brand new hair bow that Gwenyth got me as a "Welcome" present into my hair.

"I feel terrible in a way, and angry. I haven't visited Rodger since the fire, I haven't spoken to him. I'm extremely angry at him,though, for going into that fire and risking his life." I said, and headed out the door.

I stopped by the Animal Hospital to check on Coconut.

"You know you have to take em' home soon, right?" The veterinarian said.

"Yes, I noticed." I said quietly, carrying Coconut out of the cage.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone if you try to sneak him into the dorm. I snuck in my cat Snuffles into my dorm for all those years of college," She winked and headed off.

I actually haven't thought of that. I'll have to convince Gwenyth about it, I not sure if she likes dogs or not.

Then I headed into the hospital, which for my luck, was just a few blocks away from the Animal Hospital.

"I'm here to see Rodger Lucas," I told the lady at the front desk.

"Your name plea--" She stopped talking when she looked up at me.

"Bella Flynne," I said.

She typed something into the computer.

Her eyes were a shade between a dark brown and grey.

"So you're the girl my boy went after," She looked up.

Rodger's mother.

I started to cry.

"I'm sorry," I said, and ran off.

"Wait!" She said, running after me.

I stopped and put my hands over my face,crying.

"It's all my fault," I cried harder.

"No it isn't ,sweetie," She said, putting her arm around me.

I cleaned my tears with my sleeves and looked up at her.

"I'm very proud of him, he did a very good thing," She smiled at me.

I smiled slightly back at her.

"Come on, let's get you to his room," She smiled and led me to his room.

"Sweetie, someone wants to see you," I stood outside.

"Great," He said.

Mrs.Lucas walked over to me.

"Go ahead in," She smiled.

"I can't," I said, realizing that I haven't seen him in twelve days.

Twelve.

Days.

"Yes you can, trust me," She smiled and left.

I peeked from the door.

There he was. Sitting up, trying to get a glimpse of the person that was supposed to come in two minutes ago. His hospital gown was a light shade of mint green.

I refused to enter the room. Instead I just leaned against the wall. I cried a few tears.

What if I step inside that room, and he hates me.

First, he goes inside a burning building to look for me. Then I don't visit him for over a week.

He has every right to hate me.

I knocked on the door slightly and opened it.

I got a good look at him.

I started to cry. I wanted to just run.

"Bella?" He asked.

I cried louder.

He said something I didn't get through.

I ran over to him and kissed him.

He hugged me back.

"I haven't seen you in a while," He said.

I didn't feel like letting go.

"All my fault," I said quietly.

"No, it wasn't, " Rodger corrected me.

"Then who's is it?!" I started to cry again.

"Mines," He answered.

I looked up at him.

"I'm a sucker for you," He smiled.

I looked down for a few minutes.

"Why'd you do it?" I asked again.

"I just ans--"

"Was it because you wanted to show me that you cared?"

"I answered that question that day,"

"What were you thinking?"

"My only thoughts were on you,"

He looked at me.

"Are you angry at me?" He asked.

"Yes," I answered.

"Why?"

"Because you risked you life for something that isn't worth it,"

I stood up and left.

Flames

"Ugh!" I let out a loud groan as the flaming hot metal nozzle of the hot glue gun I was using touched the flesh of my finger.

The burning sensation did not activate my nervous system to the touch, but a few seconds later.

My finger ached, but I managed to keep it settled.

"Eat your breakfast, Bella," Liz said, passing by.

I simply rolled my eyes, ignoring the whole situation.

I deserted my breakfast and fail crafts, headed to my room.

I didn't know what I was feeling.

Anger.

Disapointment.

Hopelessly.

Proud.

But most of all, betrayed.

Betrayed. By Robert, my ex-agent, by Leila his assistant.

No one wanted me in their covers nor in their ads.

But it wasn't me. It was all Robert.

The weak photo shoots I did for my portfolio?

All planned.

That way, going from top-ranked, to low-ranked, just to get Robert and Leila's daughter, Joy, up to my spot.

Despite that, I trusted Robert. Not much Leila, she never liked me.

It really hurts. A lot.

I'd never though he'd do that. It's like a huge stab in your trust...

The doorbell rang loudly.

I stood up and walked right accross the door, ignoring the sound.

Liz glared at me from her bed, rolling her eyes, and standing up to receive whoever it is at the door. I just simply slouched down in the sofa, my eyes landed on the door.

Liz looked through the peephole, smiled and opened the door.

"Hey Liz Mary," A familiar voice greeted her.

I slightly rose my head from the couch to get a better look at the door.

Sophia.

"SOPHIA!" I yelled, running up and hugging her.

I haven't seen her in the longest of time.

"Long time no see," I said, letting go.

"Yes, it seems like you've forgotten me completely after you started dating Rodger, " Her expression lowered.

"I'm SO sorry, Sophie! I.... very sorry... I..."

"It's okay, Bella. I forgive you," She smiled.

I smiled back at her.

"We should go for a walk outside, it's very warm. Perfect weather," She said.

"That's actually a great idea, because of all the stress that's going on for Bella," Liz said.

"Well then, what are we waiting for?" I smiled.

We headed out to the mall.

The joy of being with Sophia relieved my stress. Sophia was there for me since the beginning of the year, she reminds me a lot of Gabrielle.

In the mall we visited pink berry to enjoy some yogurt. We headed to the movie theater, as well. We didn't hesitate to visit some clothing stores either. We did our makeup, too. It was loads of fun. Fun I haven't had in weeks. We catched up with each other, and I learned that Sophia actually knew Dawn! Dawn turns out to be one of Sophia's cousin's friends. We sat in the food court telling each other stories. Especially of Dawn, since we both seem to have plenty of stories of Dawn.

"We better be heading home now, it's almost eight," She said, glancing at her watch.

"I guess so," I said.

"But we can't leave with out a nice picture," I said.

"We should go up to the fountain!" She suggested.

And so we headed upstairs to the large fountain that stood in the middle of the third floor.

We snapped some pictures together, and headed to my house.

"So, are you going to do anything for the science fair this year?" I asked Sophia.

"Not quite sure, you?" Sophia asked, being very generous.

"I have an abundance of ideas, actually. A potato battery,"

"That is so awesome! We should be partners!" Sophia interrupted.

"That's actually not a bad idea--"

A loud siren coming from a fire truck interrupted me.

Sophia glance at the truck, following it carefully.

She managed to look up at the sky, which is when I noticed the clouds where infected by the black venom.

I knew that wasn't good. At all, even if it wasn't my house.

Without no slight discussion, Sophia and I followed the black smoke.

We made sure we weren't crossing between cars, nor getting to far away.

But we weren't going any farther away from our original destination.

My vision blurred from the running, but Sophia had stopped running.My hands where on my knees, I panted facing the floor.

Sophia looked up and let out a loud gasp, letting go of my wrist.

I looked at the direction she was looking, which seemed to be...

Exactly at my building.

My building.

On fire.

A buzz of thoughts rushed to my mind, I couldn't think of one clearly, since another just crowded up.

"BELLA, WAIT!"

I ran across the streets, ignoring the loud screeches of tires and the honking.

I stood directly across my building, where the flames covered it slowly.

"LIZ!" I yelled.

"Ma'm, keep your distance!" A police officer pulled me away.

"LIZ! LIZ! My friend, MY FRIEND IS IN THERE! LIZ, LIZ!" I yelled in top of my lungs.

Hoping for a head possibly popping out from a window, a faint reply back, but nothing. I just sat down on the floor and started sobbing.

"Liz..." I cried.

"I'm right here!" The voice yelled. I opened my eyes, hoping to be staring right to the ceiling of my room, that this is just a dream--a nightmare.

But I just opened my eyes to the same scenario.

Liz stood there, in tears, looking up at the burning building.

I hugged her tightly, realizing that I had lost Sophia.

I looked around quickly, my vision blurred from the smoke and the tears, to find Sophia shaking scared in the sidewalk.

"Ladies, did you or some one you know lived in this building?" And officer asked.

Liz nodded her head and followed the officer to his car, and I traced behind them.

"Bella Alexis Flynne and Felicity Mary-Kate Merriman," Liz asnwered some questions from the officer.

I completely ignored the officer, trying to sort out the thoughts that crowded my mind.

"COCONUT!" I yelled, running towards the door of the building.

"BELLA, NO!" Liz yelled, running behind me.

"MA'M! MA'M!" Officers yelled.

I ignored all the yelling, crawled under the yellow strip.

I was close the doorway when somebody yanked me from the door.

"LET ME GO! LET ME GO!" I yelled loudly.

But the strong arms did not react to the biting, kicking nor punching.

His batch slightly stabbed my back, but I did not quit the kicking.

"Calm down, please" He said.

"COCONUT! COCO..." I gave up.

I burst into tears.

"He's dead, he's dead... he's dead.... he's dead. dead," I whispered to myself.

The officer set me down, but my legs did not resist my weight, and I just collapsed to the floor.

Liz sat next to me, her hand over my head, crying too.

She's never really liked Coconut.

But she cried with me.

I opened my eyes when I heard a yell, from an officer, but I did comprehend the message it was saying.

I watched as officers gathered at the door.

Someone came out of the building.

At the same time, the windows of my apartment had just been contaminated with the flames, but I stood up to get a better view of the door.

It was a boy, a little taller than me... wearing familiar black beat up converse...

His face covered in black...

Rodger.

"Rodger...." I whispered, running to the door.

Secured between his arms stood a dog... Coconut.

A white backpack was strapped across his shoulder.

I knew exactly what that bag contained.

My documents. Coconut's certificates, vet documents. Emergency things like a huge bottle of water, a container of dry dog food, meat flavored dog food for Coconut, first aid kit, travel bowl for coconut, paper plates, plastic sporks, canned and boxed food, money, etc.

On the other hand was a case, my guitar case, which all the stickers and gems were covered with black.

An officer took Coconut,the case, and the backpack.

"Those are mines!" I yelled at him, running towards Rodger.

"Rodger..." I whispered.

He coughed out black smoke.

"Rod..." I touched his face.

His hangs reached my cheek and he smiled.

"I thought you were dead," He managed to say.

I thought you were dead

~BELLS

His girlfriend is a model.

I stood in line, arms crossed, waiting for my turn.
The excitement in the gymnasium was rather loud. Well, I wasn't in any way possible exhilarating for me... since I'd say Physical education isn't my favorite 'subject'.

Mr. Lee said I needed to practice for kickball. He even suggested I should come after school to practice.

I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my afternoon after a long school day of work running around kicking a ball.

But honestly all I could think of is my photoshoot.

I've given up singing. I'm not longer going to sing. ever.

Until I decided I would look for a better hobby. Besides crafting... you know?

And I did find that hobby.

Modeling.

I was just doing an early shopping spree one morning when my refrigeration was empty of breakfast food. My face absolutely nude, no make up, walking around in a sweatshirt and sweatpants, I strolled through the cereal isle.

As I retrieved my box of Captain Crunch, I backed up. Hitting a stand with cereal bags.

The bags happened to collapse to the opposite side. Hitting a man, now know as Robert.

"I'm so sorry!" I said, kneeling down to the floor to pick up the fallen bags of cereal.

He kneeled down to help me.

"It's okay..." He said.

"Are you into modeling?" He asked, putting his final bags of cereal disorderly in the rack.

"Uh, I've never really tried professional modeling... or runway," I said placing the remaining bags in the rack.

" I'm Robert Miller. I'm a manager at Miller's Future Success. Or just MFS agency. It's my mom's modeling,acting,dancing, and singing agency. " He said.

" Cool, " I said quietly.

" Do you do anything else?" He said, as we walked together.

" I used to sing. But, I don't want to any longer. I sang at gle-- singing club,"

As my departure from my singing status, I decided I'll never return nor say the word 'Glee'.

I no longer sit at the glee table.

We're still friends, but, I'd just rather not sit anywhere near Kathyleen Coleman without throwing a punch right over her messed up face. So instead, now that the weather is warmer, I sit on the tables outside the lunchroom with Sophia and Rodger.

" Oh, great. You know, you're a very beautiful young lady," He said.

I blushed a little.

" You should really try modeling,"

Before I could say a word, he continued.

"I know it really sound like I'm just 'saying that', but take my words serious. You are what MFS is looking for. Please, take my word," He begged.

*Later that day*

It took a lot of begging to actually convince my mom that I want to do this.

It took a lot of thinking to actually convince MYSELF if this was it.

But it was.

I think.

I was born to do this

Dramatics aside, My mom had to sign a gazillion papers. Gotta do this, gotta do that.

Over all, it's not like all you have to do is sign one tiny paper and go on ahead a do a photoshoot.

It took much more than that. Too much to actually explain in this blog.

My mom told me one her stories about her sister, Maylisee, who happened to be a model.

Well, at least my mom still thinks so. Basically at the age of 16, she started modeling. She appeared in billboards, magazines and television. By the time she has 18, her modeling agency had basically taken her away. And my mom never spoke to her again.

My mom was older than her, already in college, which means even before Maylisee signed into her modeling agency she hadn't really spoken to her.

She told me to never forget Ashleigh.

I promised her I wouldn't.

So basically just weeks after my official signing, we did a few photoshoot to fill up my modeling portfolio.

Their was some modeling audition for modeling clothing, which my age was in the range.

Robert, by the time, as my modeling agent, decided I would audition.

They did choose me.

Luck. That's a good start, maybe that's a sign that modeling is for me.

They also had another girl. I didn't know what her name was, though. She was my age. But they only needed ONE female model for my age. So it's basically an unknown spot. We'll find out if my face is printed in a page of Teen magazine.

Mr. Lee said I needed to practice for kickball. He even suggested I should come after school to practice.

I wouldn't want to spend the rest of my afternoon after a long school day of work running around kicking a ball.

"BELLA!"
I snapped out my daydreams by the voice of many.

It was my turn to kick.

I walked over to the assigned spot.
Or know as my spot of failure. Since I never get a good kick.
My right leg positioned in to the kicking position, my hands in a fist.

The ball rolled closer, closer, closer....
I kicked the ball... expecting a "FOUL BALL!" from Mr.Lee's booming, italian, voice.
Instead, I heard screams in collision. I didn't understand.
Their arms pointed at the first base,which was now empty besides it's guardian.

It took me a second to realize they were yelling at me to run.
As I began to run.
I ran to first base.

The next kick was up.
Gwenyth Stevens.

I remember her. She's from drama club. She's incredibly talented, amazing actress, as well as the brains.

I wouldn't know about sports,though. I'd take a guess she'd amazing at this too, since she's just perfect.
Reminded me much of Aria.

Gwenyth's expression lead me to the thought that she was thinking hard.
She missed the first kick.

Turns out she's not so good after all.

After one more try, she kicked the ball, hitting one of the lights in the roof.
As soon as she noticed I started running, she ran too.
But she was out.

I'd say today was the best gym day ever.
For one thing, I made a home run for the first time.
Also I stood in first,second,and third base for the first time.
In the other hand, Kathyleen Coleman got hit in the face with the kickball, her nose was bleeding.

On the way out of the gymnasium, some one tapped me on the shoulder.

It was Gwenyth.

"Hi, I'm Gwenyth Stevens." She smiled.
Her luxurious light brown curls bouncing around, unlike in Physical Education, where her hair was tied the neatest ponytail.

"Yeah, I know." I said, quietly.

"You're Annabella Flynne, right?" She said.

"I'd prefer to be called Bella." I giggled slightly.

"Well, you're perfect! I mean, you have the talent, the skill, and the beauty!" She said.

WHAT?
Was Gwenyth Stevens, the most perfect girl in the school, saying that I was perfect?

This is all probably a joke, most likely exposing her amazing acting skills.

"Sorry Gwenyth, your amazing acting skills don't work on me," I said.

She looked at me in confusion.

"I'm not acting, Bella. I'm very serious. Trust me, everyone thinks so. I have to go, ok?" She said, waving as she walked faster.

I carefully followed her with my eyes, watching if she met up with one her friends giggling about the joke she just played on me.
Nothing. She just headed straight out to main campus.

I looked around, watching if anyone was laughing.
No one.

Maybe she was being serious.

No she wasn't! Snap out of it Bella, I thought to myself.

I tried to not think about it as I got to my next class, History.
As I got to the main building, Liz approached me, giggling with exciment, with a magazine in her hands.

Seems like the one the girly girls?
I think so.

"Bella! You're not going to believe this," She said.

"What?" I asked as she flipped through the pages of the magazine.

I obviously knew what, that when excitement filled me.

"LOOK!" She said, as she finally stopped in one of the pages.

I was shocked.

I saw... myself.

Myself. In. the. magazine.

"OHMIGAWSH!" I yelled loudly.

Random students on the hallways actually said congrats.

They realized. They realized that this was my talent too.

It was like the first time I sung here, in Anastasia Arts... where students where actually running and risking moments to say hi to me...

Some one even asked for my autograph.

I also remember that day perfectly.

Because that was the day Rodger and I... 'started a relationship'

Oh, the good times in Ohio.

♥

*Later that day*

"Dude, I can't believe your girlfriend is a MODEL," Daniel said to Rodger a distance away.

" I can't either, " He said, smiling, you know, the typical flirting-with-my-girlfriend type of smile.

He hugged me tightly.

My life is perfect at this very moment.

I wish I had this moment for life.

Okay. I'm not Gwenyth Stevens, I'm not very dramatic.

But point stated.

Do you think modeling is my talent?
Please give me feedback (: I'm still young, my life is just beginning.

And I'm still learning.

~perfectly BELLS

New Bella coming soon (;

HELLO READING BIRDS (:

Yes. I gave singing.

EXCITED.

~BELLS

Kathyleen Coleman: 1 Bella Flynne: 0

"Good bye, Bella." Aria slightly hugged me.

" Bye Ari. I'll miss you! Email me once in a while!" I said, letting go of her.

I turned to Dawn.
I was afraid she was going to burst in to tears, being her sensitive self.

" BYE BELLA!" She yelled.
She jumped on me.

I giggled.

"I'll sure be missing, Dawnster Monster," I smiled.

I turned to Gabrielle.

I hugged her tightly.

" Bye, best friend." I smiled.

" See you later." She said, letting go.

She smiled.
They all walked up ( Dawn, actually dancing/walking/skipping) the street, occasionally looking back and waving.

Ashleigh. She was in tears. In a waterfall of tears.

" I'll miss you SO much Bella!" She cried on my shoulder.

" I'll miss you too." I said.
She stood hugging each other.
She kept crying.
Sob after sob.
Worst than the time her fish died when she was 7.

Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
Don't cry.
D o n ' t c r y .
I told myself.

But I did.
Little salty cold tears ran down my cheeks.

" Time to go." She said, with a little fake laugh.

I hugged dad good-bye.
I petted Jimmy ( The family husky) good bye.

I got into the car and drove away.
It was only lunch, since at Monroe we could go home for lunch.
That means, If I get back home in time, I'd be able to go back to school right away.

No regretting.
No tears.
But some joy.

"We're here!" Ma looked back, mouthing the words, since my ears were listening to music from my ipod.

I smiled and jumped out of the car.

"And, you have 40 minutes till lunch!" She smiled.

I grabbed everything from the back and hurried into the building, coconut following behind.
As soon as we were in the front of my apartment door, joy filled my body.
No.
Not joy.
But happiness.
Relieve.
Almost felt like my life was filled.
I mean, I'm back home. With Liz.
All my friends. My... 'partner'. Gabrielle is moving back in a matter of weeks.
Glee.

I pressed the bell nonstop.

Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

"BELLA!" Liz yelled, yanking the door open.

" LIZ!" I yelled, hugging her.

Her hair in perfect curls, red curls.
Her eyes bright green as usual.
Her face pampered with make-up.
As usual.

" I missed you! " She said, letting go.

"I missed you too, Liz," I smiled.
I shoved past the suit cases and tore into the apartment.
In the living room a banner said:

WELCOME BACK, BELLA!

I smiled and ran to my room, dug into my drawers and pulled out my Anastasia Arts uniform.
I slipped inside it.
I rearranged my hair in the bun it was originally in, and ran back into the kitchen.

" LET'S GO TO SCHOOL!" I yelled, first time in my whole life, being exited for school.

"Wait, your not going to eat or anything?" Liz smiled.

"NOPE!" I grabbed my bag.

"You have to empty out your back and rearrange it, Bella," Ma said.

"I already did, last night. " I smiled.

We ran down the stairs, 6 flights, instead of taking the elevator.

" Ok, I guess we can leave now." Liz smiled.

" I love you, Bella!" Ma hugged me.

" Love you too, Ma!" I let go of her.

" Call me when you can!" She said, as we walked down the sidewalk.

I ran to school.

I. w a s . s o. e x c i t e d.

I walked into the main building.

" Welcome back to Anastasia, Bella." Said a tall man.

" Hi. Um..." I said, shaking his hand.

" Mr.Martinez was offered a new job at another school. I'm Headmaster Adams. Please, just Headmaster." He smiled.

" Hi, I'm Bella Flynne." I smiled.

"Off to lunch now, Bella. " He smile.

I ran to lunch.

I tore open the doors, and the first thing I noticed: The glee table.

I walked towards it.
They didn't notice me.

I quietly tip toed to Rodger, who was talking.
I pulled my hands over his eyes.

"Who's this?" He asked.

"Guess." Daniel said.

He put his hands over mines, examining them a little.

"Uh...." He said.

" Kathy?" He asked.

I arched my eyebrows.
Kathy?
Who is this girl?

'WAIT. no," He said, thinking hard.

"Wait a second... Is this... Bella?" He smiled.

I pulled my hands off of him.

" I thought you were coming in the afternoon!" He slighty kissed me.

" Well, I didn't want to wait till Monday to see all of you!" I greeted everyone else.

But I stopped.
A. New. Girl.
YAY!

" Hi, you must be new. I'm Bella Flynne, " I smiled.

" I'm Kathyleen Coleman," She said.

I sat next to Rodger.
I was so happy.
I couldn't wait for lunch.

" Bella! BELLLLLA! YO BELLA!" Said the football team in collision.

I slightly waved.
A hand pulled me over.
I was being dragged.
I looked over and it was Miranda.

"What?" I asked as she pulled me into the bathroom.

"Don't act like you all that," She said.

I was confused.

"The spotlight in glee club isn't on you anymore," She continued.

"Kathy is the best singer now, I'm sorry I'm telling you this, but even Ms.Terry said it, she barely remembers you, and Kathy makes your singing sound like dying chimpanzees," She says.

What? A singer? better... than..
DYING CHIMPANZEES?

" WOW, Miranda, you're real supportive!" I said.

"Sorry. But you'll never be the same." She left.

And I stood in the bathroom.
Nervous.

~Glee Club~

"Welcome, my talented students!" Ms.Terry announced.

I stood up straight.

"So, yesterday we were talking about--"

She didn't see me.

" Hi, Ms.Terry," I said, waving a little.

" Sit down, please," She said.

WHAT?

" Sorry I'm late!" Kathy burst in through the doors.

Oh god.

" LOOK AT OUR BEST SINGER, SHE'S RIGHT HERE! Don't worry your not late!" Ms.Terry smiled.

I looked over at Miranda.

She gave the I-told-you-so smirk/stare.

"Okay, Time for a sing-off! Of course my baby Kathy can come up!" Ms.Terry clapped twice.

Argh.

" I want to challange Bella, the new girl." She said.

I. Am. Not. New.

I stood up and walked to the stage.

" The song is Again, By flyleaf. The girl can go first," Ms.Terry said.

I'm pretty sure 'the girl' is me.

I sang in my most powerful voice.

"Here you are down in you knees again! Trying to find air, to breathe again! The only surrender will help you now, I love you please see and believe again!" I sang, in my best voice.

Not to sound concieded, but I was stunning.
Seriously.

"Now, Kathy you sing!" Said Ms.Terry.

She sang. She amazing.
She was.
Better.
Than.
Me.

" Bravo! As always the winner is Kathyleen Coleman!" Ms.Terry clapped.

"Wait a second." Ms.Terry squinted her eyes at me.

" Bella, I'll need the 'best singer' trophy back. We need to re-consider that prize." Ms.Terry smiled.

I.
Was.
Boiling.
Inside of me.

"What?!" I yelled.

"You are NOT the best singer!" Ms.Terry yelled back.

Oh no, I could see in Rodger's eyes.

" I AM. YOU'RE GOING TO TAKE BACK MY TROPHY? SERIOUSLY? MS.TERRY, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?"

"Dude, your girlfriend if having a major tantrum again." Danny said to Rodger.

"Yes, I have forgotten you! You are forgotten from Glee club! Kathy takes you place as lead, and that's it!" Ms.Terry yelled.

I felt weird.
Weird inside.
Some feeling, a feeling I've never had before.
Never.

" I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU, MS.TERRY!" I slipped the band ring off my finger, and threw right SMACK in the middle of Ms.Terry's eyes.

I took my back and ran off.

"Bella,Wait up!" Rodger ran behind me.

"NO! I WANNA GO BACK HOME!" I yelled.

Some how he grabbed my arm and twirled me close to him.
He secured his arms around me, making it impossible for me to run off.

I kicked and yelled, moving around, but I couldn't get out from his lock.

he pounded against the wall, but he held on to me.

He turned me to him.

"Bella, listen." He said.

"NO! LET ME GO, RODGER!" I kicked and yelled.

He let me kick and scream.

I calmed down a little.

"Let. Me. Go. Rodger." I said, angry.
He still didn't say anything.
I laid my head against the wall.

He knew me too much.

" Bella. You're the most amazing singer I've ever met. You can't listen to Ms.Terry, she's just, weird all of the sudden." He said.

"I don't get it!" I cried.

I told him how I felt.

"Jealously? " He said.

"What?"

"Jealous, that's what you are." He said.

"No, NO. I'm NEVER jealous!" I yelled, starting to kick and scream again.

" You should be, because you're amazing, just the way you are." He said.

Really? REALLY RODGER?

" You, Pest! You are acting like an animal!" Ms.Terry said.

" How does it feel to suck?" Kathy giggled.

I ran to the them to give a piece of my fist.

"LISTEN YOU PIECE OF--"

Rodger grabbed me.
AGAIN.
I kicked and screamed.
And I planned to until my fist touched Kathyleen Coleman's prett-- ugly face.

Minutes later Liz arrived.

"BELLA!" She yelled.

She pulled me, I continued to kick and scream.

"How'd you get her number?" I heard Rodger ask Daniel.

"Dude, she's hot."

Felicity got me home by dragging.

I am NOT letting Kathyleen get in my way.
Heck no.

~BELLS

I hummed 'Moment 4 Life' as the sound of the smooth voice played in my ears backed-up with a beat.

Ashleigh walked inside the pale blue room with her robe and her black&blue hair wrapped up in a mountain of a towel.
Her face, serious, annoyed... upset, probably.

"What's wrong?" I asked, curious.

" Mom, mom and dad are fighting. again," She said.

" Oh no. Is it bad?" I asked.

"See for yourself," She said, pulling the towel off her head, revealing her wet hair.

I crawled out of bed and quiet tip-toed to Ma&Dad's room.

They were yelling, yet I didn't understand anything.
My ear found it's way to the door.

" Joel, we will NOT move! I promised Bella that we'd stay here!" Ma yelled.

" This is important, Emma! We're are moving and that's it!" Pa yelled.

" Okay, so you make me break Bella's heart and accuse me of things I didn't do?! I'm done with you, Joel!" Ma yelled, her footsteps came closer.

I ran quietly to my room, slowly shutting the door behind me.

"We're moving, AGAIN." I said, upset.

Ashleigh looked at the floor.

" It can't be." I sat down.

" What if they, like, divo--"

"DON'T SAY THAT!" I snapped.

I heard yelling.

I slowly opened the door of my bedroom.

" You don't understand! Bella, she's just getting used to it here!" Ma argued, tears running down her cheeks.

"She doesn't belong here! SHE WANT TO BE FAMOUS. SOMETHING BIG. I want her to be a lawyer, a real state agent, Something else than a crappy career." Dad argued.

"NO you won't! You can't!" Ma argued.

' Well guess what? She is! THAT'S IT!" He yelled louder.

" I hate you, you will not take my Baby's dreams!" Ma yelled, placing down a cup.

I slowly closed the door behind me and flopped to bed.

Asheigh and I did nothing.
Nothing.
We didn't sing. Dance. Do our hair. nothing.
We just laid there.
Waiting for normal.
Waiting for our family back.

After a minutes, Ma came in.

" Ashleigh, Bella, hey there." She smiled, like nothing ever happened.

Her voice, softly spoken, joyful, but painfully stabbed.

We looked up.

" We're having a family meeting. Hop on from bed, girls." She smile brightly, underneath a sad face.

We walked to dining area, where dad sat at the end of the table the dim light on his face.

We sat down.
Not a word.

" Girls, I have some exciting news for you." Dad smiled.
His smiled was perfect.
He overachieved Ma.
Why shouldn't he be?

"We're moving!" Ma said, happily.

" YEAH THAT'S GREAT NEWS!" I yelled.

"Bella, Calm down, sweetie." Dad said.

"NO.I WILL NOT. BECAUSE YOU WANT ME TO BE A FRIKING REAL STATE AGENT OR LAWYER, BUT GUESS WHAT? I WILL NOT BE. I'M GOING TO BE WHAT I WANT TO BE,NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY!" I snapped.

" Sit down, now Bella!" He argued.

" NO I WON'T! I'M GOING TO LIZ'S TOMORROW MORNING! I HATE YOU!" I yelled at dad, and stumbled off ignoring his "Come back here now, young lady!" and "I'm disappointed in you!" and mom arguing with him.

I stumbled in my room, slammed the door behind me and locked it.

I muttered a few *censored* words to myself until I picked up my phone.

I dialed the number.
As the familiar tone ran, I flopped down in the bed.

"Hello?" Rodger's voice.
"Hey Rodger." I said, crying a little.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"I'm going back home." I said.
" Wait, you are?!" He asked.
"Yeah. My mom and dad are arguing, plus they're moving. I'm in no world start to move around so much again," I said.
"When are you coming back home?" He said, excited.
" Tomorrow. I have to call Liz, okay babe?"
" Okay, call me on some info." He hanged up.

I dialed Liz' number.

" Hey Bella!" She said.
"I'm going back home, no questions asked." I said.
" But--"
"No questions. I'll see you tomorrow." I said.
" Are you sure? What about you mom? Does she know? I don't want to be any trouble, Bella." She said.
" Don't worry about them. Bye." I said, hanging up the phone, not letting ask anything else.

I furiously pulled the suitcase out of my closet leading some crap to fall in top of me. I carelessly threw everything back inside.
I managed to stuff things in the suitcase with out hesitation.

"Bella, baby." Ma knocked on the door.

"GO AWAY, I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU NEVER THE LESS DAD!" I yelled-

" We have to talk to you, Bella." Ma said calmly.

I stood up and walked to the door. I unlocked it and flew under my covers.

I felt my mom and dad sit at the edge of my bed.

" Bella. We agreed on something." Ma said.

I peeked out of my covers a little bit.
I saw Ma's face.
Wet. Red. Pale.
Like she's been crying for the longest time ever.

" You'll be moving back in with Liz." Dad said.

A little joy filled inside me.

"As long as you want." Ma smiled.

I could tell Ma and Dad didn't agree on that one. Dad hesitated a little.

" You'll leave tomorrow after school. I'll drive. Now, hop up, you guys don't want to be late for school!" Ma clapped, happily, for once in this day.

I climbed out of my bed, quickly applied make-up, and left.
Outside, I saw Gabrielle.
I haven't talked to her.
Ever since the 'Accident'.
But I knew I had to.
But I didn't have the guts to.
No way.

I quickly passed her, hoping it wasn't TOO obvious that I wanted to walk past her.

"Bella!" Gabrielle said.

Darn it, I thought.

"Bella, I have to talk to you." She said, catching up to me.

"Honestly, I do too." I said.

" I should of believed you. I found Collin making out with some girl. I should of really listened to you. I'll promise I'll always take you advice--"

"It's ok.He tried to kiss me, by the way." I said.

Gabrielle shook her head.

" Anyways.. Umm.. I have to tell you something," I said.

"What?" She asked.

"Well, I'm moving. Back with Liz." I said.

She looked down.

" Ma and Dad are fighting again. And it's really bad. Plus, my dad wants me to stop believing in my dreams. And we're starting to move around." I said.

" You know I hate moving around. " I added.

"I completely understand. My mom said I was better off living over there rather than here.So, I'll find a place soon." She smiled.

It was going to be ok.
Only the fact that I made to amazing friends here.
Dawn & Aria.
That I'd have to be away from Ashleigh.
That I'd have to break my parent's hearts.
That my parents might divorce.
Of getting that phonecall. To hear the bad news.

I walked to school with Gabrielle.
Afraid to announce the news to Dawn & Aria .
Right after I'd created the first Glee club.
Great.

I caught up with Aria.

" Ari!" I yelled.

"Oh, Bella!" She said, walking to me.

"I'm so sorry I called you all those names! I mean, I'm over him--"

"It's ok." I interrupted.

"Well, that was easy." She said, smiling.

"But I have bad news." I said.

"What?"

"I'm moving. I'm so sorry! I know I was the vocal instructor in Glee club, but my mom and my dad and... life!" I said, almost crying.

" That's HORRIBLE!" Dawn yelled behind us.

I turned around and saw Dawn munching on a bacon and egg sandwich.

" It is." Aria said, evidently upset.

" If you can be the vocal instructor? I'll teach you some vocal exercises, you know?"

" OK. I'll doubt theirs going to be a Glee Club for long, anyways," She said.

"Thank you so much, Aria," I hugged her.

The rest of the day went fine.
Normal.
Except that I was always with Dawn,Aria & Gabby.

"Welcome to the first ever Glee club." I said, that afternoon.

"My name is Bella and I'll be your vocal instructor just for today.

"And my name is Aria and I'll be your director and vocal instructor for most of the time." She smiled.

" okay, why don't we start off by hearing each one of you sing?" I smiled.

I looked over at the crowd.
4 girls. 2 boys. Wow.

" Introduce yourself up there first." Aria added.

One of the girls stood up, climbed up the stage, stopped to talk to Dawn, who slightly nodded, and walked over to the microphone.

" My name is Rachel and... I'm gonna sing paparazzi." She said.

The song started and she sang.
Her voice was to strained.
We clapped and she climbed down.
Then we met Genny, Elize, Thomas, and Julio.

"Great. Now, follow along with these vocal exercises. I will do it first, then you."

I sat down in the piano and played the notes.

"Ah, ah, ah ,ah ,ah ,AHHHH!"

The whole club sang.

After Glee, I had a sleepover with Aria, Dawn, And Gabby.

And I've never been so glad to go back home.

~BELLS

Screts

Rodger and Aria's reveal from Ohio.

" This is not working for me!" Dawn said, messing with her hair.

She's been trying to make a Lady Gaga bow on her head.
For the past thirty minutes.

" Here, let me try." Aria finally said, standing up.

As she stood up.
Her bag flowed from the support of her body, spilling some of her stuff.
She didn't notice.

A textbook, a notebook, Mocking Jay, and a weird gray book.

The book entitled the words "ARTIST PAD" in big bold letters.

I looked up at Aria, who was obviously distracted messing with Dawn's short *mess of* hair.
I slowly and quietly slid the soft cover of paper into my lap.

" AH! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" Dawn yelled, frustrated.

I ignored the yelling and whining, and went ahead and opened the artist pad.
First page, a perfectly drawn horse.
I examined his features.
Based on the perfect and realistic markings and the tail, the horse is a pint.
Every limb of the horse perfectly angled, each hair carefully drawn one at a time.
Beautiful.

I quietly flip the pages.
Page after page, comes beautiful drawings , some splashed with fine strokes of watercolor, some shaded carefully with a pencil.

Until I got deeper into the sketch book.

A drawing of a boy and a girl.
Drawn with pen, a gel pen.
I could tell it wasn't meant to be, made with pen.
It was just a quick drawing.

When I actually noticed the actual drawing.
The girl, she had perfectly bouncy curls running down her shoulders, every lock drawn to perfection.
The small barrette on her hair with the tiny pink gems, her gray eyes.
Her rosy blushing cheeks.
I looked at the dude.
His hair parted, dark, big brown eyes-- eyes I've recognized before.
The smile I've seen in millions of pictures before.

His clothing, Navy shirt, torn up jeans.


Rodger Lucas.


" There, wala!" Aria said.

I panicked, rushing but being careful enough not to rip a page.
I closed the sketch book and climbed on my knees positioned to slide it back into her collapsed bag--

She turned around, holding down Dawn, who was brightly smiling.

I dropped the book over the bag and quickly put my hand over my head.
Like that helps me out.

"Uh, you bag fell so I just wanted to put it back in?" I said, awkwardly.

" Yeah, right." She said annoyed.

" Dawn theirs pancakes in the kitchen!" Aria said, fake happily.

"NO WAY!" Dawn ran towards the door.

"YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!" Dawn's echo grew father.

Aria closed shut the door, and a click sounded, assuming that she, eh, locked the door.

" Bella, why were you looking in my bag?" Aria asked.

" Your sketchbook just caught my eye, I'm sorry, ok?" I said, annoyed.

"What did you see?" She asked, in a voice, a tone, it's just... elusive.
Like, the sarcastic/dramatic/serious/warning voice.

And boy, I did not like it...

"Well, just drawing and a few watercolors..." I answered her.

She gave a look.

Elusive.

She was just so, intense.
So, expression-less.
Hard to read.
It's like trying to talk to one of those ghomes that you put in your front yard.

Is it sad? Is it angry?
Is it happy?

Meh.

She crossed her arms.
She took a deep breath and rolled her eyes slightly.
Just make the intense in the room deeper.

" ARIA!!!!!!!!!!! Their is NO pancakes in the kitchen! Why would their be pancakes at this time?" Dawn yelled, from the door.

"LET ME IN YOU HOBKNOCKER!" She yelled.

Aria moved towards the door, slowly.

"Why did you have pictures of that boy? Who is he?" I asked, serious.

She stopped.

Silence.

" What does he mean to you?" I said, angry.

Shocked.
Want intense?
Bring it on, dawg.

Silence.

Even Dawn.
Which obviously is well, a surprise.
You could hear her slide down the door.

"What's his name?" I asked.

She turned around, looking down at the floor.

" Rodger, maybe?" I said, getting really angry.

" He's just, some one, OK? He meant.. he meant a lot to me! But then.. He just... disappeared." She started to cry.

I was like, what wut?

She hugged me, crying on my shoulder.

" I don't understand..." I said.

" He, left... he left me. He moved to... he probably had a pathetic best friend. His--" She cried louder.

"What?" I asked, confused.

" He was my best-boyfri- he was really close to me. I had stronger feelings for him. He didn't know. At the time we both lived in PA and, he moved. We were friends for ever. So when he moved her E-mailed me every day. Then he got a girlfriend! He described her, he called her brownie. I hate her. I pretend her face is on the archery board-- Anyways, he just like, started to fade away." She sniffled.

" But then, he had a trip to Ohio, with a group. And I was there too, for vacation. And we met up secretly, sometimes at dark, or sunset. Behind his girlfriend's back. And boy-- I had FUN! And he... kissed me. And said he always liked me. So we like I guess 'went out' for like two weeks. He dumped his girlfriend. But we had to leave. And then,weeks later, he broke up with me and got back with that.. ugh, indescribable." She said.

"Excuse me?" I said, standing up.

"What?" She asked.

I pulled out the bejewel R from my shirt.

" I'm, that pathetic girlfriend. " I said angrily.

" What?!" She yelled.

"This, is , AWESOME!" Dawn said from behind the door.

Shoot, Dawn.
I ran to the door and I opened it, collapsing Dawn to the floor.

" Don't talk to me, Aria. " I said, angrily picking up my books and carelessly stuffing them in my bag.

~BELLS

Jerks in the air again. *read*

I swept off all the dust from the old tree house.

From the last few days I've discovered many childhood memories, from pictures, tea sets, even my first *tiny* guitar.

Soon enough everything was dusted, clean, and sparkling, as I hummed the melodies of Uncharted.

"Hey." A voice startled me.

I turned around.

Collin.

Meh.

"Don't ever do that to me again, Collin, or I'll send my troop over here in less than a second. " I said, angrily.

"I'm sure you will." He smiled.

" How are you feeling?" I asked.

" From the concussion from your very gentle best friend gave me?" He joked.

I rolled my eyes.

"Oh, I'm fine." He smiled.

He said down on one the *tiny* green chairs.

"Aha, Mr. Potter." Collin picked up one of the Teddy bears on a bookshelf.

"Mr.Potter, my manager, and was all ways there of my performances." I smiled.

" Geela-Lee." He picked up a stuffed poodle with a tutu and a pink bow.

" Geela-Lee, Bella Flynne's biggest fan. Always front row of every concert." Collin said, smiling.

"How bout' we see you play,eh?" He suggested.

"Nope." I said.

"Please." He said, in his southern voice.

I shook my head.

" Pleaseee, I haven't heard you play in like forever." He said.

"No." I turned around and faced the window.

I felt him behind me.

" W o a h." I said.

"Not even for me?" He said, closer.

His lips came closer.

" Hold on there, cowboy.." I said, pulling his head away.

" What?" He smiled, coming closer again.

"Hello?" I said, sarcastic, still pushing him away.
I pulled out the 'R' necklace from my coat.

" Well, it's Collin's turn, now." He said, hugging me.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I yelled kicking him.

He groaned and fell to the floor.

"What the f&8*&5 is wrong with you?" I said, and climbed down into the woods.

I ran home, not wanting to think about Collin and his disturbing actions.

"Hey Bells, what are you doing?" Gabrielle said, pocking her head in my room, after hours of listening to music and staring at the roof.

" Oh nothing, you're not going to believe what hap--"

"Com'on let's go the tree house!" Gabrielle said pulling my arm.

"I don't want to gooo..." I said.

Somehow, Gabrielle Amber Taylor got to the tree house.
Some way, I don't know.

"Oh-mi-gawsh! I remember Geela-lee!" Gabrielle said.

"Yeah yeah, me too." I said.

She rolled her eyes.

" Look, our journals!" Gabrielle said, picking up her own.

"Let me see!" I said, squatting down next to her.

Dear diary,

Today me and bella made pancakes with emma. emma is nice to me and emma is my moms best friend and bellas mommie. My pancake has bluberries and it was shapped like a smile and two eyes. bellas pancakes has raisin mouth and eyes. they were yummy. me and bella dont like maple sirup so we ate them with huny yum! and butter! yum! okay bye

We giggled.

"Hey, ladies." Collin's southern voice said at the door way.

I looked the opposite direction, annoyed.

" Oh, hey Collin! We're just reading our journal. You know we could reenact the little concerts with the teddies!" Gabrielle smiled.

"Haha, you have a gre--"

"I'll go get gummy bears." I said, interrupting Collin.

I won't even say his name anymore.

"Wha-why?" Gabrielle asked.

" What's a concert without gummy bears?" I said, sarcastically.

"Uh-okay..." Gabrielle said, oddly.

I pushed past Collin.

I purposely walked slowly over to my house, took like ten minutes to "Get the gummy bears".

Then I slowly walked back to the tree house.
I didn't step on a single branch, didn't make a sound.
Then I slowly and quietly climbed up the stairs. I walked around the porch to the door.

O h m y g o s h .

My Gabrielle, kissing,no, making out, with... Collin.

Capital M -E -H.

"Oh, my, gawsh." I said.

The pulled away from each other.

"Bella before you panic I can explain we were to tell you toda-" Gabrielle said quickly.

I shook my head. Tears in my eyes.

" YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?" I yelled.

" Bella, listen!" Gabrielle said.

"NO, I WON'T GABRIELLE. BECAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU OUT OF ALL PEOPLE WOULD NOT TELL ME, YOUR BEST FRIEND, SUCH AN IMPORTANT THING." I yelled louder.

"AND YOU, WHY HER? SHE'S [beep] INNOCENT! YOU'RE A JERK-OFF! WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO BREAK HER HEART? YOU A [beeping] a$$[beep] !" I yelled.

"What is she talking about?" Gabrielle asked.

"I don't know, She's going crazy, I think she hit her head or something." Collin acted innocent.

" YOU KNOW WHO'S ABOUT TO GET HIT IN THE HEAD, [beep] FACE?" I said punching him.

"BELLA!? WHAT IS YOUR [beep] PROBLEM?" Gabrielle asked.

"[beeping] PERVERT!" I said, throwing the pack of gummy bears in his face.

Oh, if I would of had a textbook in my hands...

"YOU'RE GOING NUTS, BELLA!" Gabrielle said, holding me back.

"GET OFF OF ME!" I yelled.

"WHEN YOUR HEART BREAKS, DON'T COME TO ME!" I yelled at Gabrielle.

" I won't need your love life help, Bella, since you need some yourself!" She argued.

" In matter of fact, don't ever come to me again, [beep]" I said, my final words.

"[Beep]!!" I threw all the toys in the bookshelf in top of Collin.
The hard ones.

I've never, ever yelled/cursed/been so mad at Gabrielle before.

"You need psychotic help, Bella! Tell your mom to take you to a mental hospital, they'll treat you well there!" Gabrielle yelled, as I climbed down the ladder.

"Oh yeah? Well, you need to get eye surgery maybe you see what the [beep] he really is, [beep],"



And I got the l a s t w o r d.

AMY PLEASE READ!

Okay, I tried commenting on your blog, it's not working

DO NOT. I tell you DO NOT CANCEL YOU BLOG.

Your blog inspires me. It's different. It's the only blog that's not about Glee and Boys, just like many of the AG community. (Yes, I'm criticizing my own blog. I don't give a crap.)
Your blog is so creative. So unique. So inspiring.

Who blogs about common problems in teens these days like teen pregnancy, deaths, etc?

Virginia does.

People just don't understand that.

I read you blog.
Not because this person or that person is following you.

I read because I want to. Because I enjoy it.

You, out of all people should not be canceling your blog.

You know who should be canceling her blog?

ME.
Why?
Because my blog is just like some other AG blog.
A friking replica of Beth's.
I didn't mean to, but it just seems way to familiar to hers.
Every single concept I blog about she has already blogged about.
My blog is so friking unpopular the last frikin time some one actually COMMENTED, was in Jan.

Thanks I feel so appriciated.
YES I'M HATING ON MY OWN FRIKIN BLOG RIGHT NOW.
Why?
Because it's stupid.
That's why.

Yours is like I said, Is worth reading. Different. Inpiring.

Stop reading my blog, I don't give a crap anymore.
But I wont stop reading yours.

And guess what?
Yes, in fact, I a darn nasty reader-wanting sourpuss, thanks for calling me that by the way.
And if your gonna cancel your blog too aren't you a reader-wanting sourpuss too?

~♥A

( And those people that do read my blog, go over to Virginia's blog and support her, please. :) )

Un-appreciated. (IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ)

I'm getting very aggravated with this situation.

I work SO hard for these blogs that I write.
I try to make my blogs as different as possible as any other blog after an slight coincidence.

Today, I decide to check my stats.
My last post view, only THREE pageviews.
THREE.

And those were all probably myself.
Seriously?

During January my pageviews were pretty high, I have to say.

In Nov-Dec. No one even supported this blog.
No one. That time was the most exiting part of this entire blog.
But the only person that ACTUALLY read and commented on my blog was Bethie.
She doesn't even read this blog anymore.

I have to be honest but in one day in November I was surprised to see my stats grow.

November 6 and 23, 2010.

Then they dropped during december.

They rise in Jan.

Now they're low again.

What is wrong with my blog? Is uninteresting.
Because I'm getting mad.
Really mad.

I noticed that blogs tat only post once-in-a-while get a lot more pageview/comments.

Do you want me to do that?
To leave you unattended on my way to success?
Until I forget my blog?

Seriously guys!
This just proves me that I have 22 un-dedicated followers who only find my blog good sometimes. Thanks a lot .

Suprise

"Collin, where are you taking us?" I asked Collin, who was dragging both Gabbie and I somewhere deep-ish into the forest of our backyard.

"COLLIN! That's enough, where in the heck are you taking us?" I yanked my arm from his grip.

"Just come on! " He grabbed us again.

"AHHH! HE'S TRYING TO KIDNAP US!" Gabrielle yelled.

"What?" He raised his arms in confusion.

Gabrielle picked up a thick branch quickly,

"WAAH!" She hit him with the branch.

Collin stumbled into the ground with pain.

I stood there, in shock.

" I was just trying to show us a childhood place! "She said, grabbing his knee.

" Oh... " Gabrielle said,

Soon enough he passed out, since Gabrielle also hit him in the head.

" What are we going to do?" I panicked.

"We'll have to carry him back to the house!" Gabrielle was soon enough panicking too.

"Okay, I grab his arms you grab his legs. "

"Okay." Gabrielle got her grip.

"One, Two, and THREE!" Gabrielle raised his legs.

"You were supposed to raise him too!" She yelled.

"But what if I thought it was one,two, three, Go!" I panicked.

" Ugh, In the count of thre--"

"One, two, three, go? or just one two three?" I asked.

"One two three!" She said.

I raised him.

"That was just the response!" She yelled .

This one of the moments Bella and Gabrielle had of panicked, yes, stupidity.

"But you said it's one two three go! Ugh, lets try this again!" I said.

"One, two, three!" We raised him.

We tried to walk as far as he could.

"He's too heavy!" Gabrielle said,

" Keep going, we're more than halfway there!"

"I can't!" She argued.

"Yes, you can Gabs!" I said.

"No, falling down, I'm falling!" She said, after a few minutes.
She stumbled into the ground.

"Gabrielle!" I said, running to her.

"I'm OK!" She said.

" Okay, But we have a kind of long way to go," I said.

I sat down on the grass.

"We can't just leave him passed out on the grass, you know." I said, well, I was lying.

We looked at each other.

" We can," We said, giggling.

"But we're not. We just have to think of a way to bring him over there." I said.

We stood there.

" Maybe, we can stay here with him, I'll bring like a wet towel from my house." I suggested after a while.

" Yeah, good idea. Go get the towel." Gabrielle said.

We were both still unsure, but we can't carry him into the house.

I ran all the way to the back porch of the house, to find the back sliding doors locked.
Damn. Now Ashlee would have to find out.

I ran to the window of our bedroom.
I knocked intensely on the glass.

"Ashleigh!" I yelled.

She moved the curtain.

"What?" Her voice sounded far through the glass.
I pointed to the side.
She did a long nod after a while of pointing which signified that she knew about the glass door.

She left the room and I ran to the porch again.

"What's going on Bella?"

I rushed in the kitchen and wet a cloth.


"BELLA! ANSWER ME!" She yelled.

"Collin is hurt! MOVE!" I shoved her out of the way.

" Why didn't you carry him inside the house, dumba$$?" She yelled.

"We couldn't, Idiot!" I ran.

"Wait, we'll drag him with the wagon!" She yelled.

"We can't, I'll break!" I yelled, running.

" We'll three over two so we'll carrying him in!" She caught up with me and we continued running. The dogs followed behind.


We caught up with Gabrielle, who had her arm around his shoulders. She was smiling.
Why in the heck would she be smiling?

" Is he awake?" Ashleigh asked, bending down.

" Yeah, kind of. "Gabrielle answered.

"Okay, I'll put this over his fore head, and we'll all grab on." She said.

"Ready, One, two, three!" We all held on.

We worked hard on carrying him back into the house, onto the sofa.

" *Sigh* Finally. What's this boy been eating?" Ashleigh said.

I realized something, and started to crack up.

"What?" Ashleigh said.

"You know we could of drag him over here with the sled?" I said.

Soon enough we all cracked up.
Ashleigh left us still giggling as she went to pick up the phone.

"Gabs, you need to go home. Something about cleaning up or something," Ashleigh said.

"I'll be back!" She said, waving.

I sat down as Ashleigh took care of Collin.

I tried to remember what he was trying to show us.
Nothing.
I couldn't remember anything.
Until it came to me.
The tree house.

"I'll be back. Tell them I'm in the tree house, " I told Ashleigh, and ran.

I remembered the path pretty well.

Then, I was in front of it.
The tree house.
GCB.
Gabrielle
Collin
Bella.

I climbed up, to reveal memories.
Pictures pined up in the bulletin board, toys laying around, our favorite tea set, even our journals.

I picked up mines.

Bright pink covered in purple flowers and swirls of blue glitter.

Dear Journal,
Today I is very sad. Ma brought me a new box of crayuns. It has a lot of color. It even has a sharpaner. Is so cool. I took it to schol. But then a boy that sits next to me said if he could borrow a color and i said yes. Then he trick me and took a lot and broke them I is very sad. I tell the teacher and she dont anything.

I flipped the next page.

Dear Journal,

Overachieving is my thing.

" Bella Flynne and Aria Everdeen report the principal's office, NOW." Headmistress' voice boomed over the loud speaker.

I looked at Aria, who also seemed confused as well. With my eyes dizzy from the confusing event, I looked around to see the whole History looking at me.

I slightly shrugged to let them know I was confused too.

I didn't hesitate to pick up my bag and start walking.

"What's going do you think is going on?" I whispered to Aria as we came close to the door.

"It's elusive to say right now, Bella." She said, pushing the door open.

"What did we do--"

"No communication, Ms. Everdeen." Mr. Lopez, the vice principal, who was surprisingly standing outside the door waiting for us.

He escorted us to the principal's office.

In the brown walled, leathery room, we stood, tension filling the air.

"Thank you, Phil."Headmistress came out of a door in her office.

She sat down and grabbed a stack of paper and evened them out until Mr.Lopez left.

" Have a seat, ladies. " She smiled.

We sat down in the two big leather seats in front of her desk.

She opened one of her drawers and took out two papers.

"Aha, Bella Alexis Flynne and Aria Cassidy Everdeen." She said, examining the papers.

I gagged at the name "Alexis".
Jeez, Ma, such a bad name.

"Now, would you ladies explain to me what this is?" She pulled out another sheet from a stack on her desk.

Recognizable.
The chorus class debate sign up sheet.
Two rips from the top, my assume that it was ripped from the massage wall.

I looked at Aria.

"Headmistress, uh, that the chorus um, signing sheet." I nervously said.

"So, you girls planned to open an Chorus class or club?" She examined the paper.

"Uh, yes ma'am," Aria responded.

" You ladies do notice that ever club or event that is posted at the message wall is first discussed with me, right?" She circled around us with her hands behind her back.

Silence.
I peered at Aria.

" Right, Aria?" Ms.Martinez sat back down.

I sunk back in my chair.
Aria looked at me with I'm-sorry eyes.

A few minutes past of silence.

"But you girls are not in trouble."

Suddenly, both our eyes laid on Headmistress with relief.

" I actually have found the perfect teacher, she loves to sing, and she's been thinking about making a glee club." She smiled.

Aria and I smiled at each other.

"Now if you excuse me, I will call her right now. I believe it is her free period." She punched some numbers into her phone.

"Hello, do you mind coming over to my office?"
"Oh yes, thank you. It's important."
"Oh, sure. See you here,"

~ 7 minutes of non-stop smiling~

The door opened.

Me and Aria looked backed of excitement.

Ms.Lynne.

Who ever thought the world's nicest math teacher, would be a singer.

Well, I don't know about you, but I didn't.

She smiled.

"Ahah, Who knew Bella Flynne and Aria Everdeen would be the ones from the sign up sheet, eh?" She said.

Headmistress smiled.

"Well, why don't you show me some of your talent?" She smiled.

Headmistress nodded in approval.

" Sorry, Ms.Lynne but I don't have my guitar with me, I could bring it tomoro--"

" Well, good for you I think Mr.Escobar might have one! I'll be back," She said, leaving us again with Ms.Lopez.

A few minuted later, considering the fact the music room was just two halls away, Ms.Lynne came back with a leather case.

"Here you go, Flynne." She smiled.

The guitar was already tuned, very well, tuned, I must say, which means that we were ready to sing.

"Ready!" Aria said, happily, standing up.

I smiled.

I played the begging notes.

" My mama told me when I was young, we are all born superstars" I sang.

My voice rose.

"She put my hair up put my lipstick on In the glass of her boudoir ," I sang.


" 'There's nothin' wrong with lovin' who you are she said, 'Cause He made you perfect, babe,So hold your head up girl and you you'll go far Listen to me when I say' " Aria stunning voice sang.

"I'm beautiful in my way,
'Cause God makes no mistakes
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don't hide yourself in regret,
Just love yourself and you're set
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way " I sang the chorus.

"Ooo, there ain't no other way
Baby, I was born this way
Baby, I was born this way
(Born this way)
Ooo, there ain't other way
Baby, I was born this way
I'm on the right track, baby
I was born this way " Aria sang, but was interrupted by the bell.

"Amazing job, ladies. You gals will be announcing the first ever glee club in this school today at the talent show." Headmistress smiled.

"Excuse us, Have a nice day Ms.Lynne and Headmistress," Aria said, and I gave back the guitar to Ms.Lynne.

And I was so proud.

♥♥♥♥ Talent show that afternoon ♥♥♥♥

" Well, thank you Joe for those amazing drumming skills! Now, won't you just give another big of applause for Joe Solomon!" Ms. Duncan said over the microphone.

The crowd roared.

"Now, boys and girls, it's time for mid-show, break, we'll see you in fifteen minutes." Ms.Duncan smiled.

"He was really good!" Dawn said.

" I guess so." I smiled.

" But the girl, you know, the one who was dancing was REALLY good!" I said.

" The play was awesome too, I loved the part when Jenna Mc--"

"Psst Psst, Bella!" Some one loudly whispered.

I looked to my right and saw Ms.Duncan making hand gestures.

The movement of her hands informed me to come with her.

I looked to my left and Dawn and Gabrielle looked at me with confusion, and Aria was being dragged too.

I finally shoved my way out and landed next to Ms.Duncan.

"You'll be presenting the glee club now." She said.

We walked over to Aria and the teacher that was leading her and joined together.

" I'm so excited!!!" Aria said.

We headed backstage where there was just bunch of girls there smiling and jumping up and down.

I walked around.

" No, hair, no make-up?" I asked.

"Uh, no, why? Did they have hair and makeup in your old school?" Aria asked.

"Yeah." I answered.

"Girls, It's time. Here Bella, give a performance, maybe they'll get inspired.

And so we did, we performed Born this way by Lady Gaga.

The crowded roared more than ever.

Introducing: Bella Flynne, Monroe tech institution's first ever Glee club's vocal instructor.

Bella Flynne: Overachiever, on her way to fame.
