My name' is Emma Swan

For the first nineteen years of my life

Nothing happened

Nothing at all

Not ever...

Then i went to Storybrooke University, a place for the ordinary people of the world...like moi. I say ordinary. I'm not exactly bright but give me a broken gadget and I'll be able to fix it fairly easily. I wasn't too bad at Chemistry either, it was always Physics where my issues sourced from. I wanted to do something with my life, admittedly I wasn't leaping with joy towards the thought of helping people because...no. I was more excited for the fact that i get money, money which would be spent wisely on things such as eyeshadow palettes, shoes and clothes. Lots of clothes. I didn't plan on making friends because I wanted to keep myself to myself. Making friends meant that I would have to let them in. Hence why I wasn't looking forward to sharing a dorm with someone. Probably someone lazy and messy. I dread to think what will be revealed when i open the door. Probably a bomb site, covered in dirty plates or even worse-

"Hello"

A skinny guy in a suit with great hair. Seriously. Really great

"You must be my new roommate?"

Wow, he's English. He sounds smart. He looks smart. I bet he's in law with some fancy name like Oliver, Alexander or Christian.

"I'm Hook"

Or you know, he's a total dumbass.

"That's not a name, it's an object"

He glanced at me. Clearly impressed that the first dialogue i ever said to him was sassy. He tilted his head and smirked.

"Well, I'm majoring in Science so technically I'll be working with Hooks"

"That's still not a name. Your birth certificate doesn't say Hook"

He laughed at me before smiling.

"Quite right too. I'm Killian, but most people call me Hook."

Killian. Not exactly Sir Killian or you know Sebastian, but i could live with Hoo-Killian".

"I'm Emma. Emma Swan"

He grabbed my bags and brought them to my side of the room. Clearly he was a reader, judging by all the books he had. Seems he had a thing for chemistry too, good he can be my study buddy.

"Nice to meet you...Swan"

I smiled before unzipping my bags. Clothes, books and my toiletries bag. Which had to be kept away from Hook. Part of me thought he could help seen as he was studying medicine but I decided to go against it.

"So! Swan. What's your story?"

My story? Jeez. That's a fun place to begin with. Hmm, lets tell your new roommate who you're stuck with for 3 years your life story. That will go down a treat.

"My-My story?"

"Yes. Tell me about yourself"

I thought carefully before deciding to just tell him a couple of white lies. Maybe if this went well and we actually became friends then he might forgive me one day.

"Well I'm nineteen. It's my birthday next month and I'm somewhat of a computer genius"

"Somewhat?"

"Well I couldn't fix the motherboard of your device but i could tell you why it's broke and pretty much fix most things but internal damage? That's when i step away"

"Oh so you're a geek?"

"No! Well maybe... Is that an issue?"

He seemed taken back a bit. He scratched the back of his neck before thinking of his next move.

"No, no issues here. I actually quite like geeks. In fact I'm the king of geeks"

I laugh at him

"I thought you were Hook?"

He blushes slightly and seems baffled.

"Well i er, yes. I'm Hook or Killian. Whatever you want to call me. Or not. In fact. I'm just going to stop. Soo what do you major in?"

"Well I'm doing a joint degree. Psychology and Chemistry?"

"Chemistry. Oh that means we might be in the same class? I have Mr Locksley"

I checked my timetable to find we had the same teacher. I was slightly glad but if the whole roommate thing went wrong then it would get complicated.

"Same! Guess we're chemistry buddies. Anyway I should unpack."

"Yes. Er sorry. This is your half of the room. There's two draws specifically for you in the bathroom and i left a shelf too. There's tea and coffee in the kitchen. I didn't know what you drunk so i brought both of them."

He's kind of sweet. A rambling idiot though. Stop it Emma. You're not here to make friends. He's your roommate. You can be civil. That's it.

"You didn't have to do that but thank you"

He smiled at me before sitting back on his bed and i turned around to unpack. A couple of hours and this place might even be a home.

"Oh and Swan?

"Yes Ho-Killian?"

He made a small huff of smugness before raising his eyebrow.

"Welcome to Storybrooke"
