Author's Notes: Hi! This is my very first Fanfiction, so I really hope that you enjoy it. Please show your support by reviewing, following and favouriting (is that a real word?!) So enough of this, let's get on with this story.

I took a deep breath and stepped into my new school. Ever After High. I had been homeschooled until my mother decided that it was time to follow my destiny as the next Coppelia. Or, more specifically, the next Swanhilda. You see, anyone who knows my story knows, that Coppelia really is just a doll, and that the real main character is Swanhilda.

But, the fairy tale council (or something like that) decided that since becoming a doll is a very important part of my story, so they demanded that my last name be 'doll'. So that makes me Emmalyn Doll. I know, funny name, right? I once asked my mother why I was called that. I still remember that conversation.

Flashback Starts

"Mommy, why am I called Emmalyn?" I asked my mother.

"Why, don't you like your name?" my mother asked in surprise. "It's a lovely name, you know"

"I like it, it's just that I think it's a little weird."

"But Emmalyn, you should be proud of you name. You shouldn't think that it's weird."

Flashback Ends

That's as far as I can remember it. Thinking about it now, I realised I never got an answer to that question. Presently, I walk down the hallway. At the end, I'm greeted by a girl with pale skin, blond hair and a dress covered in apples and bows.

"Good morning!" she chirped in a high-pitched voice I almost couldn't stand. "You must be the new student. I'm Apple White, daughter of Snow White, The Fairest of Them All, to become the next Snow White and betrothed to Daring Charming and the Student Council Co-President."

I stared at her for a moment, a little giddy from the way she reeled off all her titles. At last, I found my voice and said, "Yes, I'm the new student. My name is Emmalyn Doll. It's nice to meet you, Apple." This was said as politely as possible, even though I'm not really liking this Apple girl much, despite knowing her for only about 30 seconds.

She took me to the headmaster's office keeping up an endless stream of chatter on the way. Finally, we reached a set of large wooden doors. Apple turned to me with a too-bright smile and said, "This is where I leave you. See you soon?" I hesitantly replied, "I guess so...?" "Great!" she gushed, and sashyed away.

As for me, I knocked on the door and upon hearing the "Come in", I opened it and entered. At the far end of the room, there was a huge window that took up most of the wall. Infront of it was a desk and at the desk sat a man with greying hair wearing a blue coat. The remaining walls were covered with bookcases stuffed with books.

The man at the desk studied me carefully, from my hazel coloured hair tied up in a flat bun to my emerald green eyes and rosy pink lips to my blue and white frock to my pale pink ballet tights and lastly, my pink satin ballet flats magically enhanced to be outdoor shoes.

At last, he got up and said, "Welcome to Ever After High. I am Milton Grimm, the headmaster. You are Emmalyn Doll, I presume?" I nodded my head. He handed me an envelope with my name on it. "Inside this envelope you will find your schedule and your dorm key. You are in dorm #318 with Duchess Swan. As today is your first day here, you will only start lessons tomorrow. Please use the time today to settle down, make some friends and explore the grounds. You may go."

Outside the office, I breathed a sigh of relief as I tore open the envelope and looked at my schedule.

Just then, I reached my dorm. Opening the door a crack, I peered in and saw with relief that no one was in there. I quickly unpacked my things and arranged them in the empty side of the room. My five different sets of ballet flats, the photo of my parents and I, all my clothes and my vanity/study desk items.

After that, I glanced at the other half of the room. It was decorated with swans, feathers and ballet items. And then, I headed outside.
