Hello! Happy New Year to all of you! I was busy with writing a one shot piece for a contest so didn't had time to get this to my dear beta, and Katiebellacullen was wonderful to send it to me a week or so ago and I waited and finally decided to post this. A short chapter but I'll try posting little bit more regularly from now on.

Chapter 50

Bella didn't lift her head the whole time Edward moved slide behind her and sat on the other stool. They were in the Biology lab and for the past three weeks this had been going on.

She left the house for classes early, stayed in her room most of the time, and avoided looking at him at the dinner table. In the school, she went out of her way to avoid him and was generally successful.

At first Edward didn't mind but slowly her behaviour had started to grate on his nerves. The avoiding and running away from a room as soon as he stepped in to it, his mother's tutting and sighs as he had done some crime, then again maybe it was his ego which enjoyed getting her all flustered but now she behaved as if he had the plague. On top of that she had aced two biology tests and had sat for the third one two days ago. And Edward wondered if she will win and will have to be a slave to the girl.

Mr. Mason walked around distributing their test papers and moved closer to their table in the back.

"Well done Bella, I see Mr. Cullen here must be a good influence on you. Three A's in consecutive tests. Good job!" The teacher put down her paper with a red A minus on it and Bella let out a relieved breath, "Well done Mr. Cullen." Edward received his paper with the A plus as usual.

"I cancel the bet." Her voice was small and Edward turned his head with a slight frown.

"Excuse me? Are you talking to me?"

Bella took a huge breath and turned towards him for the first time after the incident in the Cullen kitchen.

"I won, didn't I? So I'm calling off the bet." She stared at him with an irritated frown.

"Fine." Edward shrugged.

"Fine." Bella turned back to her books once again and they spent the class doing their own thing. Once again ignoring each other and taking notes.

"Guys, leave your test papers behind for me to file and if you have questions come to me now." Mr. Mason announced just before the bell rang signalling the end of class and the students then hurried out leaving their test papers on their tables.

Bella hurried out first and left and Edward was slow to pack up and couldn't help but take a peek at Bella's test. He came to an abrupt halt, a slight frown forming on his brows which turned in to a devious grin.

"Mr. Mason!" He called picking up both their tests and headed towards the teacher.

The halls were deserted when Bella moved towards the locker room; she didn't much care for gym since it was the bane of her high school existence.

"Hey, slave girl, stop!" It was loud and she came to a screeching halt at the familiar voice.

What the fuck!

Fast approaching steps resounded through the hall and Edward Cullen stood in front of her with his cocky smirk.

"Here! Mr Mason wants to talk to you about getting extra credit." He pushed a paper to her hand as he stared at him with a blank look.

Edward was already moving away towards the locker rooms, "I will tell the coach you had to meet up with Mr. Mason so no need to hurry and you're welcome. See you later slave girl!" Bella gaped as he waved a hand without turning around and sauntered away.

Slowly with confusion she turned the paper, it had a bright red B plus written on it, the old A minus crossed out with one line. With a screech of frustration Bella stomped her feet, turned around and marched off to find Mr. Mason.

Now she understood why the insufferable bastard looked as if he had won a lottery.
