The Cullens were trying to get very close to Bella during the week. It seemed that they wanted something from her and yet Bella didn't want to give it to them. However after having gotten a long nasty letter from Dumbledore about basically being a bitch towards them. Dumbledore apparently wanted her to get to know the Cullens. It would make her time there to be easier and it would make things easier if the Death Eaters did arrive. So Bella decided to finally answer Edwards note.

Since today was Friday, Bella decided to continue the note that Edward started on Monday. So Bella was sitting outside of the cafeteria hiding from the Cullens yet again waiting for class to start. She was still debating on what to write on that note. Yet the only thing that Bella wanted to talk about was why he saved her. She couldn't understand why he did it. He already showed that he didn't like her for some reason and yet he saved her. So something to that effect was what she wanted to start talking about.

So it was five minutes till class was getting ready to start and Bella decided now would be a good time to get in there. She wanted to get the message written before class starts that way when she gave it to him; Bella would get his whole reaction. Bella thought and came up with a great message, it would imply everything. So taking out the original message from him, she replied.

Edward,

Apparently my actions answer your question. However one thing has been bothering me, Why? If caught wouldn't you fear exposure?

Bella

Bella was quite happy with her response. She also had the note finished before Edward made it into class. Mr. Banner as usual was very anxious to begin class. Edward was still acting frustrated with her, but she didn't care. It's not like he was really interested in her to begin with. She represented a challenge for them and that was all. Nothing more.

Class was tedious as always and Mr. Banner was only apparently speaking for half of the class there was to be a lab again. Except it was to be a short movie that they had to watch and pay attention to; answer questions about it. Bella found this to be irritating but hopefully it would be easy. It was something ridiculous about cell structure and DNA. Bella kept her eyes on the clock. She had to time her response correctly, if she handed it over to early then he could possible try and detain her; if she waited too long he might not actually get it. So when there was 7 minutes left of class Bella pulled out the note and put it in front of her. Bella kept Edward in her peripheral vision. She had the folded piece of paper out and slightly waved it. It had Edward's attention. Now Bella needed to wait that way Edward would read it till the bell rang. A minute before the bell rang she put it in between them yet kept her fingers on it so he wouldn't take it quite yet. As soon as the bell rang she grabbed her stuff and seemed like she decided to leave it. When Bella reached the door; she turned around to get his reaction. Edward had the note in front of him. As soon as it all clicked, he looked up startled. Bella just smirked and walked out with the rest of the students.

During her last class gym, Bella asked the teacher if she could leave early. Bella decided the excuse that she had to go the hospital would work. In reality, Bella wanted to be already gone when the Cullens came out of school. Her plan worked wonderfully because Emmett didn't realize that she left early from class.

When she got home, she left to go check up on the Cullen house. It seemed that all of them were frustrated and angry. Well that's not surprising considering of the exposure threat but they were going to have to start talking. Apparently a family meeting was called because Carlisle was home to meet them. It took about an hour but they came to a consensus. Whatever it was it seemed that Edward was leaving. As he got into his car Bella decided to leave and to head back home. She was soon going to have to make dinner for Charlie. As she ran through the woods, Bella figured tonight something was going to happen and she was going to control it.

When she got closer to the house, Bella came up to the tree line to see what was going on around her house. A couple blocks away on the corner was Edward's Volvo. So it seemed that he was in the area. Since that was the case, Bella climbed up a tree to get a look around. Edward apparently wasn't anywhere in her 360 degree of view. So as soon as Bella hit the ground she changed back into her human form. Then she went to the sidewalk to continue walking home. When she was in eye sight of her home Edward was coming up from the opposite direction. The both stopped and regarded each other. Bella looked at Edward and can see that vampirism to a good thing for that once human form. Edward was devastatingly attractive, but that meant nothing to Bella. A man had to be more than physically attractive and vampires as a general rule were well tyrannical.

So Bella decided to keep going but she headed through her neighbors yard and towards the back door. She also kept her wand close, just in case Edward decided to do something. As soon as she entered the house, Bella checked the time. Charlie would be home soon and decided that pizza would be the best idea. Bella knew that Edward was around and so she couldn't just conjure up dinner as was her usual practice. Bella liked pepperoni and extra cheese.

Ten minutes after Charlie got home, the pizza arrived. Both Bella and Charlie had a pleasant dinner. Bella also informed him that she had plans for the weekend which pleased Charlie greatly. He worried about her and her lack of social interaction. After Bella cleaned up after dinner, she told Charlie that she was heading up to finish homework and go to bed.

Bella knew she was going to need a very hot shower to relax for what was to come. Bella knew that there was no way Edward had just left and knew that a confrontation was coming. After her shower, Bella decided to put on her robes and check on Charlie. He was highly engrossed in a game on the TV, so Bella went to her room and turned off the light. Then she crawled out the window and climbed up on to the roof. Bella decided to sit here and wait. For Bella knew she would see Edward appear soon.
