This is not your typical high school story. These halls speaks volumes; for they have seen the scandals, lies, love triangles, rivalries, insecurity, corruption, and even the downfalls of the residents of StoryBrooke Falls.

Be careful of who you associate with, keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Trust no one because I will be watching. And who knows, your deepest secrets could be your way out, or it might be the school's greatest show to humiliate you.

Enjoy your day, my pretties.

Remember; don't do anything I wouldn't do ;)

Sincerely,

Back-biter Bitch

Chapter One: Rapunzel 1.1

The sun shone brightly through her window, causing the blonde to open her eyes and reveal the jaded apple green beauty in them, she stretched as she glanced at her pet, Pascal who was snoozing away in his tank.

Giggling brightly, the fifteen year old got out of her lavender bed with her long golden hair falling from the loose topknot she had put on last night. She padded her way to her shower to get ready. It was a special day, because today, her mother was finally allowing her to go to public school. After years of convincing, Gothel decided that she was ready to let Rapunzel have the opportunity of being around her own age group. Not to mention, the fact that Gothel's salon business was increasing, and she would no longer have as much time to tutor Rapunzel. It could be part of the reason that she finally relented.

After fifteen minutes, Rapunzel stepped out and changed into her outfit. Her outfit consisted of a purple blouse with a jean pleated skirt, purple wooden wedges, and a wristband with flowers accent. She decided to leave her hair down to her hips. She did very minimal makeup to keep a fresh faced look.

After feeding her pet Pascal, Rapunzel grabbed her backpack which was black with neon paint splattered decorations, and bounded down the stairs to where her stepmother was waiting for her with a cup of hazelnut latte.

"Morning mother."

Rapunzel greeted her mother with a kiss on the cheek as she went to grab a muffin off the tray.

"Morning, my sweet." Gothel turned to grab her keys and purse. "Are you ready for school?" The brunette woman with the green eyes was dressed in deep red blouse with black slacks and heels.

"Of course," Rapunzel replied as she took a bite of her muffin." I'm so excited for going to school for the first time." The pair walked out to Gothel's grey corvette, and got in to drop Rapunzel off at Walt High

As they drove in comfortable silence to the tune of "Good time" by Owl City, Gothel noticed the hyper excitement of her daughter. She smiled a soft smile as she turned the radio down.

"Mother, I was listening to that." Rapunzel whined a little as she brushed a few strands of her blonde hair out of her way. Gothel gave her a look as they pulled up in front of Walt High.

"Now Rapunzel, I know you're excited for being able to go to school for the first time, but I want to remind you that public school can be harsh and not at all like the school programs you watch. There are dangers and evils that I didn't want to expose to you, but sadly you must go out in the world."

"Mother…" Rapunzel's green eyes gazed in amazement at the school. "I will be fine, I'm older now."

"Alright Rapunzel dear, you have your phone?"

"Yes."

"Your pepper spray?"

"Yes."

"Your rape whistle?"

"Yes Mother." Rapunzel grabbed her bag from the backseat. "Can I go now?"

"Okay Sweetums." Gothel blew her a kiss." Have a good day at school; your mummy is going to be at the salon."

"Bye Mother."

As she got out of the car and Gothel drove away with a final honk, Rapunzel decided to take in her surroundings.

Walt High was a massive campus. There was a main building that was three stories high, with surrounding buildings that were in a circular fashion. The bricks were red, with the school colors of blue and gold on the flags. There was lush green scenery that were cut and trimmed. In the middle of all the school's glory, in the courtyard stood a beautiful fountain with a giant star at the top.

"Wow." Rapunzel's green eyes were astounded that she was a student here. All her life, her studies were confined to one room, and it was just herself.

Checking her cellphone's time, Rapunzel noted that she was half an hour early, so there were no students around. Sighing a mixture of disappointment and relief that she wouldn't embarrass herself since she never went to public school and had no real idea what the real world was like.

She walked up to the steps and pulled open the door. Walking inside, she noticed the walls were painted with famous inspirational quotes airbrushed on the walls that weren't covered by blue lockers. The blonde female smiled a little since she recognized a few of them. Looking for the check in office, Rapunzel opened the door as she went in.

The receptionist at the desk was a woman who didn't seemed to realize that her youth had come and gone. Her lashes were a bit clumped and her lipstick a shade off the right purple. It was a purple plum, and her cheeks a bit too rouge for Rapunzel's taste. The woman's skin had a bit of a grey tin, and her salt-pepper hair was held up by a clip. Her outfit was a violet suit paired with gray platforms.

The receptionist was furiously typing away at her keyboard, muttering darkly about "stupid files" and "incorrect notices". She didn't seem to notice Rapunzel standing there by her desk until Rapunzel caught sight of her name tag and cleared her throat nervously.

"Um, Miss Yzma?"

Miss Yzma turned to her with a glint in her eye, surveying the blonde head to toe.

"Yes?"

"Well I-"Rapunzel stammered as she tried to form the words she needed.

"Speak up, I don't have all day." Miss Yzma waved impatiently.

"I'm the new student, Rapunzel Corona and I-"

"Yes, the new girl, "Miss Yzma interrupted, as she turned back to her computer and typed again. "Currently enrolled, has no record of public school education until now, a home schooled student of the famous Gothel who owns the salon Corona Flair."

Rapunzel nodded as the woman continued to type, muttering again how she didn't get paid enough for this job darkly. Miss Yzma pressed print with a long manicured finger nail and turned around to grab a few papers. Shuffling them into order, she replied in a bored voice as she handed the papers to Rapunzel who accepted them meekly.

"There is your class schedule, there is a study hall block designated for all your scholastic needs, your locker number with combination code, rule book, papers that Gothel will need to sign, and a few announcements along with the school's map."

Rapunzel started to thumb through the papers, "Um, does the school have an art club?" Her question caused the woman to look up with an annoyed look.

"Art club?" Miss Yzma's mouth was pressed thin as if she has swallowed a whole bag of lemons. "Miss Corona, I have enough to deal with, if you want to concern yourself with extra-curricular, there is a whole student body here, ask one of them."

"But I-" Rapunzel was cut off by Miss Yzma shooing her out with a dismissive hand as she went back to her typing and dark muttering.

Rapunzel caught her saying with a bit of a glare "I'm surrounded by idiots."

Left with a bunch of papers and a sense of abandonment, Rapunzel sighed. Her first day here, no one here that she knew, and it was her luck that the first person she ran into would be a grumpy woman who seemed to hate her job with a passion.

Rapunzel decided to wander the school trying to familiarize her mind with the layout of the school. Taking out her map, the blonde wandered down the halls with a pen in hand as she sketched little random doodles around it.

After walking around once and memorizing it, she had become engrossed in her sketching as she walked down the hallways. Her earbuds were in, blasting away at a song by Selena Gomez. So because Rapunzel's attention was on her doodles and humming the tune, she didn't see the person she bumped into.

"Ouch!" A young attractive female with an ebony bob and doe brown eyes fell backwards, her pouty mouth in an o shape. She wore a yellow skirt with a red tank top and a blue vest. Her nude pumps had an apple emblem on the side.

"I'm so sorry-"Rapunzel was cut off by the brunette brushing off her words as she adjusted her outfit. She ignored the blonde as if she were the dust that she swept off her dress by her dainty fingers.

"Snow!"

Another female, this time with long raven hair in a low ponytail, tanned complexion, and exotic features came running to her. She wore a blue dress with a white bolero mini jacket and bronze gladiator sandals. Snow rolled her eyes in response as she accepted her friend's help.

"It's fine, Jasmine, just the new girl being a stupid bitch." This snide comment made Rapunzel's mouth drop, she didn't mean to bump into Snow.

"But I-", Jasmine cut her off with a glare.

"Do you know who she is?-"Jasmine was stopped by Snow who calmly put her hand on her arm, causing her to stop her rant.

"I've got this."

Snow bent down to Rapunzel's level, and looked her dead in the eye with a cold indifference.

"Look new girl, since it's your first day, you get a little warning. " Her red lips were pursed tightly as if talking to her was a chore. "I'm Blanche White, but like everyone, you address me as Snow. I'm Homecoming queen, head varsity cheer captain, and part time model. "

"Is she really all that?" Rapunzel's green eyes noticed no one stopped to help her. They ignored her.

"Any way, "Snow waved a very well manicured hand in front of her face." Here's a tip: stay out of my way, keep under the radar and I won't make your life a living hell." She got up, and motioned to Jasmine.

"Come on, let's go get our Starbucks." The pair walked away, leaving Rapunzel to be stunned.

The blonde didn't realize that she was still on the ground until a slim hand with a French manicure was offered in front of her. She looked up to see a brunette with hazel orbs that sparkled and a friendly smile.

"The floor isn't a good place for the first day here." Rapunzel accepted her hand and let her be helped up. They picked up her things and the brunette introduced herself as Belle.

"Thank you Belle, I'm Rapunzel, but what was Snow's problem?" Belle rolled her eyes as she straightened her yellow laced blouse to be modest but cute.

"Snow has a bit of an ego." Belle took Rapunzel to the student rec room. "Snow arranged the school like a kingdom, or rather kingdoms. Snow's "kingdom" is full of the upper-class popularity kids like Gaston, Vanessa, and Edward.

"Kingdoms?", Rapunzel was confused.

"Like cliques", Belle explained as they sat at a table. "Like the cool Asians, jocks, burnouts, nerds, and the greatest people you'll ever meet." The brunette pulled out her iphone as she clicked on a picture and showed a picture of a layout.

It was a rough sketch of the school, showing the kingdoms' domains, like Snow's kingdom resided on the courtyard with the fountain and gardens. The jocks had the workout rooms and fields, while the cool Asians resided over the labs/computer rooms.

"So do you mean that they own these areas?"

"No, everyone has access to the labs, courtyard, etc; it just means they get the best part or spot there. It's also typically where you find the cliques."

"Hey Belle!" a male voice called out to her. "Who's your friend?"
