Right so, I've written two fanfics before, and the reviews i had were that i had good story backgrounds, but due to my rubbish old version of word pad, I didn't have spell check or anything, so I deleted my other stories and I'm going to start again with a whole new story! :D So I do hope you all enjoy these ones, Hopefully with my new version of MS Word It'll be a lot better! :) So Please Please Please review this story and let me know what you think! :D

Just for the record, For some reason I'm updating my chapters, but some of them are not changing, If you are reading this now it means It has been updated for you and, the story should flow pretty well but for others, I've had some reviews saying I've completely messed up the whole school/college thing and I am very very sorry, please forgive me! So just to get things straight, Belle is 18 years and a school student! :D Mr Gold is her new teacher/professor and he's 40 years old! Hope you all enjoy :)

Chapter 1...

It was September. The start of the School year. It was Belle and Ruby's last year of School and neither of them could wait to leave.

Belle had her eyes set on becoming the new Storybrooke librarian, and Ruby would eventually take over the Diner from her Granny.

Belle did love her books, that's why she wanted to re-open the public library when she finally graduated. She would finally have the qualifications she needed to become a true librarian.

It was a Monday, Always the worst day of the week. Even worse that is was the first day back to school.

Belle got dressed, navy skirt, white blouse, and flay shoes. She was always so professional, not like most of the girls' that would wear short denim skirts with crop tops, just to flaunt what they had.

Belle opened her front door and sighed. The weather was horrendous, It was like a three week storm that just happened to appear all in one day.

-This day is not going to end well- she thought to herself. She was nervous to drive on these horrid conditions but she had already missed the bus so she had no choice.

She drove ever so carefully up the main street in Storybrooke. She took one look at her cell phone.

" No signal...great" she said to herself.

Then suddenly -BANG-.

" What the hell?" She slammed her brakes on and looked out of the window, but the only thing she could see was the river of raindrops running down her screen. She grabbed her umbrella and got out of the car to check, when she seen a figure standing at the side of the car, and an angry tone spitting at himself " What the bloody hell! Arrggghhhhh"

Belle's eyes widened in horror when she had finally realized she must have hit the man with the car.

" Are you okay? I'm so so sorry, I didn't see...I mean the weather, I didn't see you in the road, I'm so sorry" She stuttered in an awfully worried tone of voice.

He held a hand up to hush her, He didn't even turn to look at her.

" Just leave it, I don't think my day could get any..." he began to say, but suddenly trailed off as he finally looked up to see that she was holding the umbrella over his head. That's when he saw her. When he really saw her.

Her sparkling blue eyes gazing at him, checking if he was okay. Her shiny flowing brown curls surrounding her face beautifully.

" I am really sorry" she pleaded with him. " Were you going anywhere specific? I could drive you as an apology?" she all but begged him to get into the car, she felt so awful.

He felt very awkward, but he had to keep his beastly pride and image in tact.

" No thankyou Dearie, I think you've done quite enough damage already, but wherever your going, make sure you don't run anyone else over" he all but spat at her, and she felt completely terrible.

" I am really sorry, truly I am" she sobbed.

The figure began to walk off down the street, In the pouring down rain.

Belle jumped back into the car and rested her head against her steering wheel and sighed.

" I freaking hate Mondays!" she screamed to herself inside the car.

Belle finally arrived at school, and could see Ruby standing under the shelter obviously waiting for her.

Belle parked up and ran up the steps out of the rain.

" Hey Bells'! "

"Hey Rubs'"

" Ready to start the last year of college, It's going to be a blast" Ruby winked at Belle in a joking manner.

" Ohh how fun" Belle said sarcastically, " Its already going so well, Its pouring with rain, I missed the bus and to top it all off I hit a man with my car this morning"

Ruby started to giggle and Belle playfully hit her arm.

"Its not funny" Belle tried holding back a laugh herself.

Ruby smirked and put her arm around Belle's shoulder, " Come on now, We have one good thing today, we get to find out who is taking over our class from Mrs Ursula last year, the word is she left because of that boy Graham, she was always so mean to him but he knew exactly how to push her buttons, it was always a funny class with those two" Ruby giggled.

Belle giggled too.

" I heard it's meant to be a guy taking over, I hope he's hot!" Ruby bit her lip as she imagined a hunky man standing at the front of the class.

Belle rolled her eyes and laughed.

They went to the main office to get their timetables and headed over to their first class at room 101.

As always Belle would want to sit at the front so she could get the best education, but Ruby would always drag her to the back of the class with the 'cool people' as Ruby would call them. Belle would just roll her eyes and follow.

Ruby sat right at the back in the far right corner, and Belle sat at the desk in front of her, so she was at least a little bit closer to the front.

She felt a kick at the back of her chair and she spun her head round to look at Ruby. Ruby gave her a smirk and nudged her head for Belle to look to the left of her.

Gaston. As always, Gaston would sit next to Belle. She knew all too well that he had a little crush on her, and her father completely adored the boy, but Belle wasn't so sure.

Belle turned her head back to Ruby with a -why is it always me?- look and Ruby laughed out loud which made Gaston turn to them.

" What's so funny? Come on I love a joke" he smiled at Belle, and it almost turned her sick.

" Nothing, Nothing, just girl talk...right Belle?" Ruby kicked Belle's chair again and smirked.

Everyone in the class had taken their seats and patiently awaited their new professor.

Belle had already taken a book out from her bag and began reading it. ' The Notebook'. She loved the romance of it. She had always hoped that she could find a man like Noah one day. She giggled to herself.

The talk in the room had suddenly turned to whispers and then eventually silence as the new professor had made their way through the classroom door.

" Hello class, I'm sure you were all expecting a new professor today" He practically gritted through his teeth.

Ruby nudged Belle's chair and whispered " Not so hunky... I'm disappointed" Belle moved her hand behind her chair and gently tapped Ruby's leg.

" Ohhhh Nooooooo!" Belle's eyes gaped open and she felt so worried.

" I'm totally failing this class Rub's" she whispered behind her. And Ruby's expression grew confused.

" Remember I ran someone over this morning with my car?" Belle pointed towards the man standing at the front of the classroom and Ruby followed to where her finger pointed.

It took all she could to stifle her laugh.

" Good luck Belle, Your going to need it " Ruby winked at her and carried on laughing.

" My name is Mr Gold and I will be your professor for the rest of the year".
