Only too soon was the weekend over and Monday morning arriving. Bella sat in the car silently as Edward drove them to school. Not only was she still dealing with her injuries healing fully, she now had to worry about Mike and Charlie at school. She only had one class without Edward and Mike was in it, so she didn't think it would be that bad.

Regretting getting out of the car, they walked into the building together. She watched Edward's face as others passed since she couldn't read minds herself she had to settle for his facial expressions. She was greeted by a few of her friends as always, trying her best to avoid Mike as he walked by. It didn't matter anyways since he stayed on the other side of the hallway glaring at Edward.

The day dragged on slowly and once again found herself alone without Edward and Mike as a partner. Bella sat with her head on the desk trying her hardest to ignore Mike's rambling. His constant insults toward Edward. Wondering what she saw in him and that she shouldn't be with him because he might attack her like he had him. Pretty much anything you could think of that someone would say to try and make a point why they aren't right for you. Eventually she turned her head to look out the window while still laying it on the desk, but he never shut up. It really was hard not to just yell at him to stop, but didn't feel like being rude.

Her head only rose again when the over head intercom called her to the office. Mike instantly offered to walk her there like she wasn't old enough to find it on her own or something. Sighing she gathered her things and left the room with him trailing at her heels.

Before rounding the corner down the long hall to the office Mike stopped her. He wasn't really polite about it either. Blocking her off with an arm in front of her and forcing her back against a locker as his other arm enclosed her.

"What are you doing?" She glared at him. He wasn't exactly being mean, but his approach could of been less threatening.
