Emma Swan sat in the car driving with her mom to their new home.

Ingrid had recently adopted her and wanted the two of them to have a fresh start together. She had bought an ice cream shop in a small town in Maine so off they went. They used to live in Boston. Emma had been a foster kid for most of her life. Now she had a family.

They had been driving for a while when finally they drove into a town. Emma read the sign on the side of the road. Welcome to Storybrooke. She chuckled a bit at the name of the town.

"What's so funny?" Ingrid asked.

"We are going to live in a town called Storybrooke. It just seems a little funny." Emma smiled.

"Well as long as you're happy here than I'm happy." Ingrid said patting her daughters shoulder.

"I'm happy that I finally have a family." Ingrid was excited to hear Emma say those words. She pulled up to their house. It was light blue and had a white picket fence.

"Its huge!" Emma said staring at the beautiful house. "How can you afford this?!?"

"I wanted the best for us!" She smiled. "And don't worry about money sweetheart I'm practically roayalty." Ingrid chuckled. Emma rushed inside and found a huge bedroom.

"Is this mine?" It was red and black with large white Swans painted on the walls.

"I hope you like it. I worked really hard."

"I love it! Thank you so much!"

"Ok now for the bad news. You will be starting school tomorrow at Storybrooke high. Your cousin Elsa has volunteered to show you around."

"Well I knew I would have to go back to school at some point." Emma shrugged. She was actually excited to meet some friends. She hadn't exactly been popular back in Boston and the fact that she had bounced through foster homes made it worse. She was hoping she could finally make friends.

"There's a nice little diner beside my shop. We can go eat there or I can go bring home some takeout. " Ingrid offered.

"Take out sounds great. Grilled cheese-"

"With onion rings I know Sweetie. I'll be back soon." Ingrid kissed Emma's fore head before grabbing her keys. She drove off and Emma unpacked her things. Ingrid had taken her shopping for new clothes before they left so Emma could start fresh. She finished hanging up all her clothes in her closet as Ingrid walked in the door.

"I'm back!" She called. Emma rushed down the stairs. "Sorry it took so long it was like the while town was there! You would think it's the only resturant in the entire town!" They sat on the couch and turned on the TV. The first Harry Potter was on so they sat and watched while eating their grilled cheeses and onion rings. When the movie ended it was time for Emma to yet to bed. The next day was her first day of school.

Emma woke up bright and early. She got ready for school before waiting at the door for Ingrid to drive her. They drove to the doors of Storybrooke high and Emma was ready for her new life to begin.

"Love you Sweetheart. Feel free to bring home any new friends you make!" Emma nodded and waved before turning to the castle like school. She looked at her schedule and saw her locker number. That was a good place to start. She found her locker minutes later. She put her red leather jacket inside and closed it. When she shut the door, a leather wrapped heartthrob stood on the other side.

"Hello love. Are you new here?" He had a thick Irish accent that impressed Emma. She nodded. "I thought so. I would've remembered a pretty girl like you. The names Killian Jones." He offered his hand.

"Emma. Emma Swan." She shook his hand. Before she could say anything else, a familiar voice came from behind her.

"Killian leave the poor girl alone!" My cousins voice rang out behind me. Elsa skipped up beside me.

"Oh back off Queenie I wasn't going to hurt her!" Killian groaned. Emma chuckled.

"Whatever. Tink is probably looking for you." Elsa smirked. Killian winked at Emma before walking away.

"Don't get too involved with him. He's a major player." Elsa explained. Emma nodded. "Let me see your schedule." Emma handed her schedule over to her cousin.

8:45-9:55 Math/ Finances Mr. Gold
10:03-11:06 Science Dr Whale
11:14-12:17 Gym Mr Frederick
12:17-1:17 Lunch
1:17-2:20 History Mother Superior
2:27-3:30 English Ms Goodwitch

"I have History with you. " Elsa sighed. "But we can hang out at lunch. You will love my friends." She smiled. Emma nodded. Elsa showed Emma where each of her classes were before the bell rang. Emma stepped inside Mr Gold's classroom and scanned the room. She took a seat near the back but not too far. Emma didn't know anyone. Mr Gold started taking attendance.

"Leroy Blanchard." A grunt came from the back of the room. Mr Gold moved on anyways.

"Mary Margaret Blanchard."

"Here." Emma turned to see a dainty girl with ebony black hair and pale skin. She reminded Emma of Snow White.

"August Booth."

"Here." I looked at the boy who spoke and he looked familiar but I knew that was impossible.

" Ashley Boyd. "

"Here." A blond girl smiled.

"Belle French." A pretty brunette smiled brightly at Mr Gold.

"Here."

"Jefferson Hatter."

"Here." Emma saw a sketchy guy with dark
circles under his eyes.

"Sean Herman. "

"Here." A blonde boy flashed a winning smile.

"Graham Hunter. "

"Here." Emma looked at the attractive accents face. She liked it.

"Ruby Lucas."

"Here! " Emma studied the girl. She wore a short skirt and a crop top. Her hair had red streaks and she had a glass wolf pendant hanging around her neck.

"Kathryn Midas."

"Here." Kathryn said like she was royalty. Emma could sense she was a snob.

"Regina Mills." A regal looking girl beside Kathryn scoffed and waved at the teacher.

"David Nolan."

"Here." A boy waved smiling.

"James Nolan."

"Here." Said the same boy. Wait. Emma did a double take and saw there were twins in her class.

"Astrid Nova." A shy girl said Here much too quiet for anyone to hear. "Peter Wolfsman ."

"Here." said a gruff voice.

"Am I missing anyone?" Emma hesitantly raised her hand. "And you are?"

"Emma Swan. I'm new. I just moved here f-"

"Okay Miss Swan I don't need your life story. Take your seat. I will add you to our list." Emma nodded and sat down doing her best to ignore the fits and giggles. She sat through the class without talking to anyone and luckily for her the bell rang.

Second Period for her was Science with Dr Whale. When she entered the class she noticed a few of the same faces from her Math class. There were also many new people. People she hadn't met yet and one Killian Jones. He had abnoxiously sat down right beside her.

"And so we meet again. " He snatched her schedule off of her desk. "Looks like we have the rest of our classes together. " He smirked while Emma groaned. When Dr Whale did role call she learned the names of the rest of her new classmates. Mulan, Jaqueline,Tamara, Aurora, Smee, Neal, Phillip, Lance and Greg.

For the first day Whale had them watch a video than introduce themselves to their lab partners. Emma was stuck with the handsome idiot beside her.

"So Killian are you good at science?" She asked unenthusiastically.

"Nope but I think you will do all the work because you care about your grades. " He smirked.

"You are going to make me do all the work?" Emma asked trying to keep her cool.

"I am not going to make you, but I'm not going to help so either you fail or do all the work. Your decision. " She clenched her fist and took a deep breath. Emma was saved by the bell but unfortunately Killian followed her to the gym. Since it was just introduction, they weren't required to bring gym clothes. Emma was lucky because she hadn't brought any.

As they entered Killian leaned in so close the hairs on the back of Emma's neck stood up.

"I can't wait to see you in cute little shorts. Too bad I will have to wait. " Emma tensed up and turned towards him.

"Don't you have a girlfriend?" She snapped before walking into the gym. He was impressed with her fire but didn't sit with her this time. Emma sat down beside Mary Margaret who was in all of her classes and seemed pretty nice. Their teacher was Frederick. He told them to call him that because he wasn't an ordinary teacher. He was younger than the rest and was more laid back.

Frederick went through their ciricculum and then left them for a free period. Emma took the chance to talk to some of her classmates. Killian was sitting with a blond girl who Emma assumed was Tink. Regina was ignoring the red head beside her which Emma remembered was her sister Zelena. Mary Margaret had left to talk to her friends which included a new girl named Ariel. A boy was staring at Zelena. His name she remembered was Walsh. Emma continued to sit alone not knowing who to talk to.

After a few minutes of being alone, a boy decided to take it upon himself to give her some company. He was charming and kind of cute.

"I saw you talking to my brother earlier." Emma was confused. Than she realized the only boy she had talked to was "Jones. My name is Liam." He smiled.

"Emma." She returned the happy gesture and continued to talk to the nicer of the two Jones brothers. When the bell rang Emma was relieved that it was lunch. She found Elsa sitting with two other girls at a table. She recognized one of them from her science class.

"Guys I invited my cousin to come eat with us. I hope that's okay." Elsa explained as Emma sat down

"Of course it's ok. Unless she's a total wierdo." Mulan laughed. Emma must've looked frightened because Mulan quickly clarified. "I'm just kidding. "

"So meet anybody interesting today?" The girl with the Scottish accent had been introduced to Emma as Merida.

"Liam Jones is pretty interesting and much nicer than his brother." Emma sighed dreamily.

"Actually he's a stubborn ass and his brother is much more interesting." A voice came from behind them. Emma recognized the voice immediately.

"Killian what do you want?" Emma groaned turning around. She stood up so she was face to face with him.

"Well love you can calm down because I'm just here handing out invitations. " He leaned into her ear and whispered, "Unless you have something else in mind." Emma was tense with him standing so close to her.

"Invitations to what?" Elsa interrupted.

"Mills party this weekend. I hope to see you all there." He winked at Emma before walking away.

"He is so into you." Elsa chuckled.

"You sound like Anna." Merida chuckled.

We spent the rest of lunch talking and they started explaining to me most of my classmates.

"You have Mary Margaret in all of your classes right?" Merida asked. Emma nodded. "She's pretty nice but if you get too close with her than you get on the bad side of Regina a.k.a. the Evil Queen."

"Don't forget her minions." Mulan added.

"Who?" Emma was slightly worried.

"Kathryn, Astrid and Tink." Elsa told her.

"Kathryn is Regina's right hand man." Mulan said.

"Woman." Merida corrected.

"So who can I be friends with without making any enemies?" Emma asked.

"Us." They said in unison.

"Well cuz if you're okay with it I would love to join your circle of friends." Emma smiled. The bell rang and Emma got up. Elsa walked with her and the two of them went to History. Inside was a nun. Mother Superior.

"Welcome children. I have assigned you all seats so please find them." I sighed and searched for my name. I looked on every desk but my name was not there. I sighed and told Mother Superior. She looked around the room as the rest of the class filed in. There were two seats remaining. One between Mary Margaret and Regina. The other between Elsa and...Killian.

"Please take a seat Miss Swan. " Emma sighed and sat down beside Elsa ignoring the third party. Mother Superior gave an entire lesson disregarding the fact that it was their first day. She talked about the presidents and told them that the real History of Storybrooke would start the following week.

After class Emma said goodbye to Elsa and walked to her final class of the day. She walked in, relieved to see Merida. She sat down beside her new friend. On Emma's other side Zelena Mills sat holding a glare at the teacher. Ms Goodwitch didn't seem bad at all though. She held a smile on her face through the entire class. She had handed out word searches for the class to complete. When the students finished they could read or chat with their classmates. Emma finished before Merida and took the time to scope out new faces.

She only saw four new people. Two couples she noticed. When Merida finished Emma asked her friend the names of her new classmates.

"Oh that would be, Arthur, Gwen, Merlin and Nimue." She smiled. They were sitting with Lance who was in her second period class. Merlin looked like someone she once met when she was little, only younger. She remembered being in the theater watching The Sword in the Stone. She snapped out of her thoughts and pushed them away.

When the day ended Emma went outside to find Ingrid parked right in front. It brought a smile to her face knowing that she finally had a parent who cared. She waved and hopped into the front seat.

"How was your day Sweetie? Any new friends? " She asked.

"It was pretty cool. Elsa introduced me to her friends so yeah I guess." Ingrid smiled at her daughters words and parked the car in front of their house.

"I have to get back to work but you are welcome to invite anyone over for the rest of the day. " Emma nodded and hopped out, watching as Ingrid drove away.

Emma walked inside and turned on the TV. The channel was still the movie channel from the night before. She turned on Netflix and chose the show Merlin. After recieving sudden interest in the show she started binge watching the first season, not caring about the time passing by. She fell asleep only to wake the next day, for her second day of school at Storybrooke High.
