Chapter 3

Belle was having a bad day. First it was that weird dream, then waking up late, then not being able to pay attention in class after her weird run in with Gold and finally a surprise calc test. Belle hated calculus. Why did she even need it? She was an English major for goodness sake. When she finally got back to her dorm it was the most she could do to make it to her bed before collapsing

"You ok?" Mary Margret's voice drifted across the room. Of course she looked fine even though she had gotten just about as much sleep as Belle.

"Today sucks." Belle groaned, rolling over so was facing Mary Margret. "I need a drink." Mary Margret just laughed.

"Remember last time you had a drink?"

"Not really actually." It had been right before midterms and feeling stressed Belle had caved on her no drinking rule and went out. All she remembered was taking one shot before waking up in her dorm room wearing a lace up blue sequin dress and holding a match box from some place called The Rabbit Hole. It had actually been Killian who had, as he put it, "saved her" and they had been dating ever since. Mary Margret just couldn't get over that one.

"Maybe you should just go to the library, read a book or something." Mary Margret suggested, still laughing. A book now that was a good idea. There was nothing, besides maybe an iced tea, that could cheer Belle up more. Thanking Mary Margret, she got up and practically skipped her way to the library.

Just the sight and the smell of the books calmed Belle down. She walked across the library, pulling out a few books at random, and sat down. She was about halfway through Alice in Wonderland when she saw him. Gold. Usually she wouldn't have noticed him but after this morning something was different. She simply couldn't take her eyes off him, almost like she had been with Killian the first couple weeks they were dating. When Gold started walking towards her she gasped, loudly, earning herself some rude looks from people around her. Why would he want to see her? Sure, Belle tried to be friendly to him since no one else really was. He was a loner and there had been rumors circulating about him for months: drug trade, illegal deals, involvement in the black market and even murder. Belle didn't buy it though, she could see good in him. Still, she didn't go out of her way to be nice.

"Belle," came Gold's voice. She never thought she'd use the word 'cooed' but that's just about what his did when he said her name.

"Oh, hello Gold," she replied curtly, trying to make it clear that he was not who she wanted to see right now. He didn't get the hint.

"So, you're ok then?"

"Uh, yeah. Why wouldn't I be ok?" And even if she wasn't, why would he care?

"Good, good" he sounded totally relieved, like he honestly believed something had happened to her. "I was just worried since, well you know, you first time with portal travel and all." Portal travel? What the hell? Maybe the drugs thing was true.

"Um, excuse me?"

"You know the portal? That we took to get to this world? To find Bea?" Belle couldn't believe it. He was crazy. She should up slowly.

"I'm sorry, I really have no idea what you talking about but, um, I have to go." And she walked away but not before seeing the totally destroyed look on his face.

As she was walking back to her dorm the dream hit her again and some of those little details she couldn't remember before came back to her. She froze. A portal, wasn't that what Gold had been going on about? To find a bae? Suddenly it all seemed too real. Belle sighed, now I really do need a drink.
