Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

On-A sudden "EMMA! Wake up and get ready if you want to eat before school!" Emma rolled her eyes at her mother and stretched out her long limbs. 'I cannot believe this shit. First, I'm forced to move away from my friends. Secondly, I have to go to a fucking small ass high school in a small ass shitty town with not-a-fucking thing to do. Thirdly, well... the first two were enough' Emma thought and whispered a soft "Fuck." She rolled her eyes at herself and rolled over on her bed and sat on the edge. She knew this was her own fault for this move. Her parents were only trying to do what they thought would be best for her. It was her fault they had to uproot their entire lives and move to Storybrook, Maine. She let out a sigh. Suddenly Emma's bedroom door burst open startling Emma.

"What the fuck August? I could have been naked in here." She half yelled at her brother, well adoptive brother, but no one in the family saw in as anything less than a legitimate part of the family. August had always been a part of the family. Techniquely he was her cousin on her dad's side. Her dad's uncle Geppetto had died of cancer when August was 7 and Emma was 6, it had been tight but her mother Mary-Margrett and dad David stepped up when no one else would. Dads side of the family were all narcissist and couldn't be bothered with anyone or anything that they couldn't get some type of personal gain from. So Emma got a new big brother and she couldn't have been happier. August was Emmas absolute best friend and her his. They did almost everything together. They played sports, played video games, got into trouble, mainly because August followed blindly behind Emma but they always had fun together. Ever since she could remember it was Emma and August. August and Emma. He was her brother. Her best friend. He was one of the very few people who broke through her shell and got to see the actual Emma. He never judged her even though she was born a bit different than normal girls. He never cared. She was just Emma.

"Emma. Emma. Emma!" August shouted shooking Emma out of her thoughts. "What the actual hell Emma. I've been talking and trying to get your attention for five minutes. Where the fuck is your head. You've been spacing out since we've been here. What's going on with you." 'Great here comes 'the look'. August sighed and tilted his head and softened his eyes and gave that kinda half grin half frown thing people do. It's so fucking annoying. "Do you need to talk? Because you know-"

"I'm fine August. What was it that you needed?" Emma quickly interrupted him obviously trying to not get into any deep feelings. No definitely not today. 'We just need to make it through'.

"I was saying mom said hurry up or no food. School starts at 8:30 and we can't be late on our first day."

"What time is it?" She asked.

"It is..." August looked at his watch "7:50."

Emma nodded. "Alright, I'm about to hop in the shower ill be down in 15."

"Okay, we taking the bug?"

Emma smiled "You know it brother!"

Emma hopped up and started walking out her room to the bathroom. She quickly showered and washed her hair. Emma lightly blow dryed her hair in the bathroom and decide to let it air dry the rest of the way. She walked into her room and went through her boxes with clothes in them, she hadn't bothered to unpack like the rest of her family. Once dressed she looked at her self in the mirror. She wore a pair of tight as all hell acid wash skinny jeans with rips at the knee, a pair of doc martens and a white anarchy t-shirt with a red plaid shirt tied around her waist and her signature red leather jacket bare faced. 'This will do' she thought.

"OK Emma you literally just need to make it a through a year. You're 16 you skipped a grade you are a smart cookie and have been through worst shit than this. This is nothing. Get in. Do what you gotta and get the hell out." Emma nodded at herself to confirm and made her way downstairs.

"Good morning sweetie. How'd you sleep?" Emma's mother Mary-Margrett asked with a sympathetic smile.

Emma barely slept 3 hours. "I slept great mom. Thanks." She lied. 'Gotta stop doing that.'

"Well, you have a plate on the table hun. Why don't you go eat with your brothers and father I'll be there in a minute."

Emma made her way to the table and sat down next to her younger brother Neal, he was only 5 but smart as a wipe. Guess it runs in the family.

"Good morn'n Emmy." Neal smiled a big toothy grim with syrup on his cheeks. Mary-Margrett had made her way to the table.

"Hey bud good morning to you too." Emma said ruffling his wildly curly blonde hair a trait Emma had received as well from their father.

Emma looked at her parents for having two teenagers and a 5-year-old the years were extra kind to them I mean sure they had Emma when they were pretty young, like 16-year-old girl 17-year-old boy young but kids are stressful especially Emma. She internally scolded herself, she was such a fucking idiot for fucking up so hard in Boston. But throughout everything... they remained there for her and loved her. They never stopped not for one minute. 'I don't deserve them.. any of them' She thought. Emma shook her head and started to devour the food in front of her.

"Emma slow down the foods not going anywhere." Her dads laughed at her.

"Ha. Ha. Got it dad." Emma said and started to eat slower after 3 minutes finished her plate. "Alright in ready to go how about you Auggie?"

August nodded "Yeah." They both got up. "Bye mom bye dad."

"Yup laters." Emma said.

"Hold on guys." They heard their mother. They turned around and were both pulled into a hug by their mother. "I love you guys so much and I hope you have an amazing day at school."

Their dad joined in on the group hug. "Yeah, you guys stick together okay. If anything happens call us. We'll come and get you guys."

"I wanna join! You cant give hugs without me. I'm the cutest kid in the family." Yelled Neal as he hugged his sibling's legs.

Emma cleared her throat. "Yeah... this is weird you guys know I don't like hugs." She said trying to wiggle out. "Especially group hugs."

"Speak for yourself Em's." August said smiling and hugging tighter. He really was his mother's son.

"Guys we're gonna be late if we don't go now.." Emma said slipping out of the hug. "Come on Auggie."

August pouted. "Fine. Bye guys love you. Have a good day." Emma and August hopped into Emma's bug and drove off to StoryBrook HIgh. 'Fuck' Emma thought. She really hoped this school wouldn't be too shitty.

The drive there was short. Unlike their school in Boston which was a good 20 minutes.

"This school is so small." Emma said pulling up. "This is gonna really suck."

"Don't be such a Debbie-downer Emma I'm sure it won't be too bad." August said getting out of the car with Emma walking beside her. Throwing an arm over her shoulder. "Plus we have each other. We always have fun. I've got your back and you've got mine. Like always right?"

Emma smile at him "Yeah Auggie like always." They walked up the steps and Emma stopped dead in her tracks. "Fuck." She whispered.

"What?"

Emma nodded up to the front doors where a group of girls stood talking. But she could only see one girl. She wore black ankle heeled boots, she worked her way up her body and say the most beautiful tanned legs and Emma actually let out a small whimper. She continued her way up and saw and black flared skirt and that went to a little past her knees, Emma continued her way up and saw a white button-up shirt and a blue and white polka-dotted cardigan. She continued was met with brown eyes staring at her with a curious expression on her face. She watched as her one of her friends blonde wore a pair of jeans and off the shoulder white flowy shirt grabbed her arm and started pulling her inside. It seemed to snap her out of the trance she seemed to be in and they started making their way into the building.

'Look back.' Emma thought 'Fuck please look back.' She watched as they walked into the build and before they were about to continue the brown-eyed beauty looked back at Emma with a small shy smile on her face.

"Fuck."

"She's hot." August said with a knowing look on his face.

"Shut up." Emma said pushing her brother's shoulder "Let's get this shit over with."

Emma had a soft smile walking up the steps into the build. 'She looked back. Maybe this school wont be so shitty.'
