Xoxo, RM
Regina POV:
*Knocking on the door*
I groan and place the pillow on my head.
"Regina, I know you don't want to wake up." My sister says from the other side of the door. I still don't budge.
"I'm coming in darling." She sings and opens my door.
I don't understand how someone can be so cheery so early in the morning, unless your name is Mary Margret, that's clearly a given.
"Come on sunshine, It's your last first day of high-school, you need to get ready before you're late." She says drawing the curtains in my room. I sigh and sit up on my bed as the sun hits me directly in the face, I cringe at the brightness but slowly adjust. I wipe my eyes and stretch which ends in a yawn and slowly open my eyes to my sister, her shimmering blue eyes filled with joy. Her reddish brown hair framing her face and stopping a bit before her shoulders, she's straightened it today, she's wearing a white long sleeve, black pencil skirts with tights under it and sporting some black pumps.
She hands me my coffee and I smile and take a sip before processing the morning.
"First day as a senior." I say softly and Zelena chuckles.
"I've got a bit of a surprise for you." Zelena says, she pulls out a small black box. It must be jewelry. I open the box.
"No." I gasp, Zelena smiles and kisses my forehead.
"You deserve it little Regina." I put down my cup on my desk and hug her.
"Thank you so much." I repeat over and over again while I squeeze the life out of her.
"You're welcome." She says, I look at her and sigh.
"I know." She says. "I miss him too."
It's funny how she knows exactly what I'm thinking. Our father Henry died last year around this time. I didn't even realize I had another sister but she showed up at our house and gained full custody of me, it was a traumatizing experience. We both got abandoned by our lovely mother Cora. For all I care she can go to hell. Zelena has done so much for me, she is my mother, she dropped her life in the Uk as a very successful business woman and moved to a little town in Maine called Storybrooke where I grew up and became mayor. I wouldn't know what I'd do without her, she's my rock.
"But-" she says pulling me from my thoughts, "We mustn't dwell on the pain, my dear, we have to be strong and keep going." She pulled me up from my bed, she is only a few inches taller than me with those heels on, and seven years older than I am, if you look at the both of us you couldn't tell we were sisters or even related. She has deep blue eyes, reddish brown hair, fair skin, while I have dark brown eyes and raven colored hair and porcelain skin, we couldn't be more different but we still are sisters.
"You're right, but five more minutes wouldn't hurt." I said falling back onto the bed.
"Regina come on, don't you want to check out your new car!" Zelena says enthusiastically
"Okay, okay." I mumble, "Let me change meet you down in 10." Zelena nods and heads downstairs, I change into black skinny jeans, a black classy t-shirt, pointed black heels and put on a beautiful grey crystal statement necklace and pull my now long black hair into a low pony-tail put on a bit of makeup grab my purse, place my phone, keys, wallet, and iPad and head downstairs grab an apple and meet Zelena outside.
As soon as I walk out I'm in awe, she got me a black Lexus GS 350 Sport, the hottest car on the market right now.
"I'm speechless." I tell my sister walking towards my new car.
"I knew you'd like it." She says admiring my car with her hands folded across her chest
"I love it and I love you." I say planting a kiss on her cheek, I slide into my new car, the new car scent filling my nose and I'm so thrilled to drive up to Storybrooke high in this. There's a low whistle and I realize it's a text.
"I'll meet you at my office after school, alright?" Zelena says, I nod and tell her bye. I check my phone to see it's a text from my best friend, Tink.
Nice car. –T
Thanks, come on we're going to be late. –R
Tink lives right next door to our white mansion, her house isn't as big as our house but it still is fairly nice.
I smile and turn the car on, sinking into the chair and closing my eyes for a bit. It's almost 7:00 and school starts at 7:20. Luckily since we're seniors the first class is homeroom meaning the senior class sit on stage in the theatre and do absolutely nothing for about an hour. It's a good time to recap and talk to each other since our senior class is pretty small, considering this whole town is small.
"Sweet wheels." Tink says opening the car door and slamming it shut behind her, she's chosen to wear an adorable floral dress with lace-up detail on the back, the dress ending about mid-thigh, some ballet flats, a brown satchel that matches her shoes and her blonde hair pulled up into a cute bun, her bands swept to one side and flyaways completing her preppy meets vintage look I'm sure she's going for.
"Thank you." I say as I pull out of the driveway and onto the road, our high school is 10 minutes away, thankfully I got my license a week after my birthday back in July.
"So you ready for our last first day as seniors?" I ask her with a bit more enthusiasm then normal, she chuckles.
"Why yes I am, you are happy today I see." She says, I laugh.
"Zelena is rubbing off on me, she was overly happy today."
"I see, so how are things with you and Daniel?" she asks me, I don't respond for a few seconds, I didn't think she'd come right out and say it but then again she is a bubbly person without boundaries sometimes but I still love her.
"Well, Daniel and I talked for hours last night, he told me he's getting deployed and we see where that takes him and that's it." I say, I can feel Tink's gaze on me, she's trying to figure out my true feelings. Of course I'm torn about this, my boyfriend of four years has chosen the military life and left me to finish up my schooling. He was always a year older than I was but I didn't think that would matter as much.
"So are you two still together? Or taking a break."
"I insisted that we take a break because he's going to be pre-occupied and he wants me to focus on school so that's that." I say turning into the school parking lot, seniors get front row parking, thank god.
"Hmm interesting, well, we shall see where that goes." Tink said opening her door and getting out. I take a deep breath and slowly let it out.
"Yes, we'll see."
Robin POV:
"Come on my boy." I whisper to my sound asleep son, it's only 6 am but it's his first day of kindergarten and my third year being a senior. Our life has been quite a difficult one but a life without my son isn't a life at all.
"Roland." I whisper, he sighs and opens his eyes.
"Papa, why are we up so early?" he asks, I laugh.
"It's your first day of school and daddy has to go to school too, we need to get ready." I say and stand up and draw the curtains of our room in the inn, I stare out into the city of Storybrooke and sigh, our new life begins today.
"Daddy, when can we go home?" he asks, tugging on my pajama bottom.
"This is our new home, after school today we have to meet with some nice people to get our house settled, you can have your own room." I say trying to make him feel better he smiles.
"Okay daddy." He says. It takes the both of us an hour to get ready and by the time we're out of granny's inn/diner it's 7:00, I already know I'm going to be late but Roland isn't. He's wearing black converse, denim jeans, a long sleeve bright blue shirt and a grey cardigan with buttons on it, I button one of the middle buttons and he insists he wear his black watch, so I let him. His batman backpack strapped to his back, I set the helmet on his curly brown locks and we're off. I know having a motorcycle isn't the best thing to have a child on but it's all I have right now and Roland loves it. I walk him to his classroom and he smiles and I kiss him goodbye and wait a little as I watch him interact with the other kids. I glance at my phone it's 7:20, school has started and I still need my schedule.
New country, new town, new school and I'm late for the first day.
Regina POV:
"Regina!" a squealing voice calls as soon as we walk into the theatre, it's Mary Margret, I smile and Tink giggles. We walk over to our group of friends and sit down while the assistant principal takes role.
"So are we all still on for granny's afterschool?" David asks, Mary and David have been dating since middle school, they're the couple that would likely get married. Though they irritate me because of their optimistic selves I still like having them around sometimes.
"Duh." Ruby says in a matter of fact way. Emma laughs and rolls her eyes. The assistant principal yells to tell us all to get back in order, which pretty much means all the girls on the left side of the room the guys on the right because girl and boy interactions are distractions he says. Just as we take our seats, Tink's boyfriend shows up late as usual, he comes lightly jogging in and flashes his devilish grin at Tink who instantly swoons.
"Ah, Mr. Jones glad you could make it to the first day. Now-" the assistant principal says looking around the classroom, "Where's your usual entourage?" he asks
"I have no idea what you mean." Killian responds, I'm looking at him and shaking my head, I look to the left and see August and Graham sneaking into the window of the theater, Killian's the distraction. I nudge some of the girls to look we all shake our heads and giggle a bit. Graham and August carefully make it to the rest of the boys while Killian continues to talk.
"I will mark them absent then." The assistant principal says
"But we're here sir." August says smiling
"Yes, we've been here since the beginning." Graham adds, the assistant principal looks at them clearly puzzled and gives up, he returns to the chair at the head of the class and clicks away at his laptop. The guys drag tables near us and we all start chatting away until the door opening pulls us out of our conversation and in walks in the principal with a new boy. He looks like he walked straight off a modeling shoot, black polished shoes, dark jeans, button up denim shirt and a blazer, he has a backpack on sporting the one strap and the softest hair I've ever seen, he has a little scruff on his face.
"Seniors, meet your new classmate." The principal says, "Care to introduce yourself sir?"
"Yes." The boys says, I can already tell he's British, his accent is as thick as Zelena's. He shifts his backpack and stands a bit straighter.
"I am Robin of Locksley, I moved here from the UK." He says with a small smile, he has dimples, I accidentally "mmm" a little out load and Tink turns to me with a smirk, I glare at her but bite my lip before I burst into laughter.
"I'm sure you will have a great year here at Storybrooke High Mr. Locksley, Miss Mills the class president will show you the ropes." The principal says, I don't quite here him because I'm having a mental conversation with Tink, Emma kicks my shin and I look up, my cheeks slightly red but I manage to speak.
"Yes, of course, it would be my pleasure." I say, and mentally kick myself, it would be my pleasure, who says that! Robin doesn't seem to mind he smiles at me and I can't help but return the smile. God I love being class president.
"Dibs." I whisper, all the girls groan and I chuckle a bit.
