Authors note::: First off, Spike is NOT a vampire and Oz is NOT a werewolf. although, there will be visits from both in this book.. 2nd - The whole point of FanFic is so you can re-write your fav book, t.v. show, movie, or whatever HOW YOU WANT! So, if your going to leave a flame, don't leave it about how the ppl are 'so out of character' and 'its an insult to j.k. rowling and joss' because I DON'T CARE!! IM WRITING THIS STORY AND I AM THE AUTHOR! IM JUST BORROWING THE NAMES AND SCHOOL, NOT THE PERSONALITIES! 3rd - sorry the chapter is so short, I have to go help my sister before she burns the house down.

IN CHAPTER 11:::When she awoke the next morning she heard an eerie tap coming from outside.

Chapter 12::: Let the Games Begin!

Buffy sat up and looked around the room. No one was there and there wasn't any birds or pets anywhere. Tap Tap Tap. she heard it again. This time she knew exactly where it was coming from and it wasn't so eerie this time. Tap Tap Tap. It was harder this time. She looked over at the window and saw a beautiful, angry, snowy owl. It had a letter in between its beak. Buffy opened the window and it dropped the letter on the window then went straight for the treats that were laying on Will's dresser. 'Oops.' She thought to herself as she pictured Will panicking because she doesn't have a treat to split between her poor phoenixes.

Buffy turned her attention to the torn piece of parchment on her messy bed. She climbed on her bed and grabbed the note. She tore it open (not literally) and read the secret that it held inside.

Buffy read the note while she changed into a pair of extremely short shorts and a black tank. As she threw on her robe she read the name that was signed at the bottom and tears built up in her eyes and began flowing out. She knew all along it was from him but just looking at his name made her realize how much she really did like him and how much she wanted to believe what she had just read. But she couldn't. Her heart had been broken to many times like this and she wasn't going to fall for it again. The note read::

Buffy-

Whatever you saw the other day, you only saw part of it. I didn't do anything! Harm jumped in, I jumped out. I don't like her! I like you! I just jumped out! Its not like I kissed her.

-Spike-

When she stopped crying she tore the note up and threw it out the open window. Buffy took out a piece of parchment and began writing.

Jackass-

If you think I haven't hear that one before, your wrong. I've heard that one a million times to many and I've fallen for it every time. Not this time. They all say 'I like you, not her', or 'she doesn't understand me the way you do.' Or even 'she kissed me, I never kissed her!'!!! I'M NOT FALLING FOR IT!!!!!! Just don't talk to me, so I can forget how much you meant to me!

-Buffy

She gave the letter to the owl, which had just finished his treat and it flew out the window and went straight down. She ran to it thinking it was going to crash. But if turned out that Spike was standing right below her window. It looked like he had been collecting the scraps that she'd thrown down and taped them together. He read the note and looked up at her. She couldn't see well from here. but it looked like. no, it couldn't be. was that a tear??

---With Spike---

'How can she not believe me? Doesn't she see how much I like her???' he kept asking himself. He wipped his eyes and ran straight up to the Slytherin common room and to the guys dormitory to sort things out. fine. if she wanted to play this. let the games begin.
