Part 9 - Bon-Fire and Reactions

As soon they arrived, Maria who was one of Bella's home-school teacher saw she was also with the men, and she came over with a smile on her lips, and said so the others heard her say

"Ah, Bella, Charlie and Phil, good to see you all." Bella smiled at her teacher and went forward and gave the woman a tight hug, and Maria then also shook the two men's hands in her own, and the three were lead forward by Maria to her other teacher, Tiffany who smiled wide and gave the young girl a hug of her own, as she also said

"I am glad to see you here too, Bella. Charlie, Phil, good to see you again aswell."
At that Bella gave the woman a smile and hug back, then Tiffany shook the two men's hands, and the two women took Bella over to the table of the food, with Phil and Charlie trailing after them, to take their food aswell. Meanwhile the others kept staring or just looking at them with some shock or tredipations.

Jacob on the other hand kept his stare at her, while she seemed to refuse or ignore him and his stares at her, by looking at her fathers or the two women with her. She then saw the three who had saved her the night of Edward's leaving, so she excused herself, and saw Emily also was there aswell Hermione of course.

She came up by their side, and said

"I first want to thank you three for finding me that night. And I also want to deeply apologise for what I said to you and Hermione, Emily. I am really sorry for my atroius behaviour to you all. I know I wont be apologised right away and that is fine with me. Just know I am really sorry for what I said and how I was acting like, wasnt myself at all."

She then turned around and went back to her fathers' sides, and both had pride and smiles on their faces, and both hugged her sideways, and still Jacob seemed to stare at her, while she still ignored he did so too. Charlie noticed but said nothing but step in the ways of him seeing her face or kept his stare elsewhere. It made Jacob slump abit down in his seat, as he looked into her eyes temporaily but nothing of an imprint had even happened even tonight.

Meanwhile, Sam, Emily, Paul, Hermione and Jared were talking amongst themselves, and felt the need to talk to Bella again, so when she went for another plate of food, Hermione came over and said

"Bella?" Bella turned to look who said her name, and saw it was Hermione, and said with soft smile

"Hermione, yes?" Making Hermione nod and smile back, as she said

"Hey why dont you come back to us, and we can talk again?" At that Bella smiled and nodded, and went with Hermione to the others, and they went forward with their talking, and Charlie and Phil shared a look of not concern, but happiness, for they could see the emotions so clearly on their daugther's face, was of happiness and more calm then nervousment and scared, and that made the two believe that the friendship between their daugther and those five would be repaired by end of this evening, if not this weekend as latest.

After a while, Harry gave out a small whistle, and said that the time has come for their stories, and so with that Bella came back over to her fathers for this time, and both smiles and wrapped an easy arm around her shoulders or waist, and they sat together and listen on the stories this time more detailed version, and Bella sat in trance of listening now more than before on them and felt they were really amazing stories to say the least.

Billy had some apphrensive feelings about Bella being back and acting so normal so quickly too, and felt she was also the vain of his son's pain and sorrow of not finding him interesting enough to date him either. It was hurting himself too, but after the stories was done, Maria came over to Bella's side, and said

"I can tell you now, that the essay you did last week, you got an A on it, for how well it was made and written. I am very proud of you."

Bella grinned wider and hugged the woman, as she said

"I worked really hard on it."

"And it shows, Bella." Charlie and Phil both hugged her after that Maria again left them, and both told her how proud they were of her, and she just smiled and snuggled up into their arms, as she was getting rather tired now, and the two excused themselves with Bella, and went back home with her.

Bella had plans tomorrow to visit the Uley's house, and talk some more with them all, as she felt the need to repair the previous relationship she used to have with them all again. But also confront Jacob for one last time of his behaviour around made her feel like and how she felt really about him aswell. Hoping it would go ok enough at least and she would also do it while in nearby company of the others of the pack.
