Disclaimers: I don't own anything. Nada. Zilch.

Sorry for not updating, I've been really busy, with Heroes starting in the UK (Woo! Love Sylar/Peter/Hiro/Claire action that's been going on.) And homework coming in by the stacks that I like to leave unfinished sometimes. Oh, and tests. End of topic tests, ugh.

Also, I've been focusing on a new fanfiction, or maybe two, for the past week and it shuns The Perfect Girl down... but it's a short fanfiction.

Bella was walking, walking elegantly in a different universe where black velvet rippled as she passed. Bella followed the stone path towards the centre, where there was a portal to a different, more darker place. She lifted her heavy, lacy dress as she climbed the steps. Finally she was at the portal, the portal to a different world. Her world, she put her fingers in it...

"Bella!" a voice behind her called. Her smile dropped, she turned to face the oncoming person pulling the tips of her fingers out of the portal. He was having difficulty climbing the stairs, with his velvet uniform and heavy boots. Finally he walked into view, his bronze hair glistened copper in the light from the portal. Bella gasped.

"Don't go," Edward said softly, his crooked smile coming out to play. Bella frowned deeper.

"Leave me alone," she hissed at him, turning back at the portal and she embraced the moment. Edward grabbed her arm.

"Who are you to tell me what I should or shouldn't do?" Bella said wrestling for her arm back. Edward's grip left her, his arm fell limply to his side.

"I thought I could persuade you, seeing as we've already kissed," Edward said to his feet. Bella's eyes widened and her mouth widened into a scream.

A piercing scream woke the house up for the morning.

--

"She's so scary, isn't she?" a girl asked her friend. The friend nodded in agreement. It was a class change and Bella and Alice were walking in the corridor.

"So ugly, she doesn't deserve to live with Edward," giggled another girl. Alice rounded on her.

"Shut up!" Alice screamed at the frightened girl. Alice's short hair was like it was static, almost standing on end.

"It's alright Alice, they always do this," Bella whispered frantically. Alice didn't look at Bella but at the two girls.

"Bella is ten times a pretty person than you two ever can be!" she screamed at them. They looked at each other and laughed. Soon the whole school in the vicinity was laughing.

"That Alice sure is funny," a boy whispered to another boy. The former was glared at by Jasper.

"Alice, just leave it," Bella was scarlet and she pulled Alice's hand. Alice ripped it out of Bella's grip.

"Bella, I can't stand this! Why won't you tell anyone that you kissed Edward?" Alice screamed. It seemed to echo throughout the whole school, rebounding off the walls.

"I, what, Edward?" Bella said in a strangled voice. She was shaking, her heart beating frantically. She remembered back to that night, the night she had gotten drunk and the night she kissed Edward. The dream. Bella moaned. That was a hint that probably Bella hadn't forgotten. Other memories came boiling to the surface.

"We've had a relationship where we've kissed."

It had felt so right, no, Bella it was wrong, really wrong, but. Bella's mind was whirring.

"She really forgot," Jasper whispered to a shocked Carlisle and Emmett. Edward frowned.

"How offensive," he said. Edward knew that Bella didn't know and he daren't ever bring it up. He was watching what would actually happen if he actually said something to her. Bella fell onto the ground, onto her knees. Her fingers fluttered by her heart that was working overtime. Suddenly, she collapsed.

"Bella? BELLA!" Alice screamed. The crowds had thinned for the next lesson. Alice put Bella in recovery position and Edward found it hard not to fantasize.

Edward, that's so wrong, he scolded himself. It was the third time he had himself thinking about Bella, in that way. The kiss also bugged him; in all the times he had kissed he didn't remember the electric touch her fingers made whilst she tousled his hair that night. He could remember the pounding his heart made, similar to now. The world he was in when he was kissing Bella was different, like it was right. He had a new purpose in life now, but she had the unfortunate thing of forgetting. Bella was in such a state that she had to be taken home by Alice who was frantically trying to help her. Edward watched Alice's car drive out of the gates in a window before turning his back on it, trying to erase that fantasy again. Edward stifled a yawn. Jasper, Carlisle and Emmett did likewise.

"Jasper?" the teacher asked looking up at him. Jasper paused as he walked to the door. It was the end of the day and Edward was always edgy when someone was at least a minute later than ten past 4. It was 4.02. It took at least 3 more minutes for the classroom to clear.

"Yes, sir?" Jasper asked. The corridors were crowded as people from all around school were leaving.

"I've heard from sources that may not be reliable that you live in the same mansion as Isabella Swan?" the Trigonometry teacher said softly.

"Bella," Jasper said immediately.

"Pardon?"

"Bella, she likes to be called -," Jasper paused, "Never mind, carry on."

The teacher smiled for a fraction of a second.

"I trust you and Bella are close?"

"We live together, so even the oddest friendships can occur then," Jasper said with a frown. The teacher was taken aback.

"No, I wasn't questioning your friendship, I was just hoping I could trust you with some information that Bella may not have told you," the teacher said swiftly, "These are her last test scores and I hope you know what to do."

Jasper looked at the score. It was impossible.

"What are her other scores?" Jasper asked quickly. The teacher was more reluctant to share. Finally, after 2 minutes of pleading and coaxing. Jasper was shocked at these results too. He thanked the teacher and left the room, the clock was reading 4.09 and it took at least 3 minutes to get to the car park. The corridors were almost clear now and it was easier to navigate to the car park that way. Jasper sped through the corridors. He made it to the car park in 2 minutes and 30 seconds. He panted as he ripped the car door open.

Edward was crabby.

Jasper rolled his eyes and told Edward to drive.

"How can you get 99 in Biology, 96 in Spanish, 97 in Government, 98 in English and then 3 in Trigonometry?" Jasper said loudly to Bella. Bella sat up straighter than she had all day.

"How did you know I got 3 in Trigonometry?" Bella hissed.

"The teacher told me," Jasper said, "and asked me to help you revise for finals."

"Wow. Bella got 3 in Trigonometry?" Edward laughed at the dining table. Emmett got a book and hit him with it.

"Bella's marks are so good, her Trig mark brings her other marks down as well, making her marks as good as yours, Edward." Emmett said with a threatening tone.

"My marks are actually quite good," Edward said smugly.

"75 in trig, 70 in Biology, 72 in Government, 77 in English, that's nothing much to be proud of."

"You forgot the 100 in Music," Edward said smugly.

"Oh, because we can't forget about the 100 in Music that was gloated about for what? A day?"

"Two days?" Carlisle said his fingers under his chin.

"A week maybe?" Jasper asked Edward.

"I'm pretty sure it was two weeks," Bella added. Alice laughed as Edward's face got redder as he got angrier.

"Yeah, make fun of the dumbass, like Emmett and Carlisle get better marks anyway," Edward said under his breath. This in insinuated another argument. Bella tried to sidle away, but Jasper clung on to her collar.

"You are not getting away with this," Jasper growled playfully. Bella had the mental image of Edward instead of Jasper. Bella's limbs went rigid.

"What do you want me to do?" Bella said.

"Pass your next test," a voice said behind her.
