Please give me some feedback and let me know if you have any requests!

Emma Swan was freaking out internally. New schools were always scary for her. Her parents made her move schools because she was being bullied so bad in the last one. Ever since Emma could remember she'd been targeted by bully's. They would pick on her for the thick trimmed glasses she wore and the saggy clothes she sported. That was just Emma's style! Mary Margret and David always tried to get Emma to buy news clothes and change her style, but Emma would always say that it was unnecessary and choose to spend her money on books and supplies for school.

They were very proud of Emma for caring so much about her education, but they were also worried about her lack of a social life. They complained about her needing to get out of the house more. Emma swore her mother tried to throw every guy she thought was cute at her. They weren't aware of Emma's inner struggles about her sexuality.

Breaking Emma out of her panicked frenzy was a knock on her bedroom door.

"Emma! Come on, your gonna be late!" Her mother said.

"Coming, just one second. I have to grab my backpack." She picked it up from beside her nightstand and slung it over her shoulder before racing out of her bedroom.

She got down to the front door where her mother and 15 year old brother Neal were waiting.

"Sure took you long enough." Neal complained.

"Sorry." Emma said.

"Emma honey, your backpack looks like it's gonna break your shoulders! How much stuff do you need?" Mary fussed.

"I don't know, better safe then sorry." Emma smiled.

"Yeah yeah." Her mother chuckled before pushing her kids out the door.

~Regina~

"Okay, keys, purse, coffee, what am I forgetting?" Regina whispered to herself as she rushed around her mansion.

"Apple!" She exclaimed loudly and ran into her kitchen as fast as her heels could take her and grabbed a perfect red apple off the counter.

Today was not going how she imagined. She planned to wake up bright and early, make sure everything was prepared, and get to work on time. That was the opposite of what happened.

Her alarm clock decided that it wasn't meant for her to wake up on time and that she should be late. She knew the students were already arriving at the school. Teachers were supposed to get there at least an hour earlier than the kids. She was in deep shit...

~SQ~

Turns out Emma made it to school on time. She always liked to be there early, but she wasn't complaining. As she walked up to the building she became enamored by the size of the place. It was awesome actually! It looked like-

"Aah!" The woman yelped.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" Emma apologized. She took in the papers scattered across the concrete and the brunette woman she had just knocked to the ground. She quickly outstretched her hand for the woman to take.

"Here let me help you up." Emma said.

"Thank you." Regina replied, taking the offered hand and standing.

"Again, I'm so sorry, let me help you pick up these papers." Emma began to reach down and grab them.

"No it's okay, I got it." Regina said. Just at that time Emma decided to stand from her kneeling position, but she didn't realize how much her backpack weighed and it caused her to lose balance. She ended up stumbling forward and head butting Regina.

"Ouch."

"Shit."

They exclaimed simultaneously.

They both looked up at each other and locked eyes. The two women burst out laughing. Regina's hand went to her head rubbing it soothingly as she chuckled.

"You know, when I said I would help, I actually meant to help. Not give you a bruised forehead." Emma giggled.

"Don't worry, it's fine." Regina smiled.

"Now let me actually pick these up, you stay still." She said pointing at Regina.

The brunette raised her hands up in defeat.

"So are you new here?" Regina asked.

"Yup I'm a senior, how about you, what grade are you in?" Emma asked, standing up and handing the stack of papers to the woman.

Regina took them, chuckling. "I'm actually a teacher, but I find it very flattering that I look as though I could be in high school."

Emma's mouth flew open. "Oh, yeah, I was really not expecting that!" Emma thought for a second before yelling. "Wait, I just cursed in front of a teacher!"

Regina just laughed and waved it off with her hand. "Relax, we aren't in the school yet, you are safe."

Emma sighed in relief. "Well, sorry again, I guess I should be getting to class."

"Oh shit! I'm late!" Regina declared.

Emma laughed.

"What?" Regina asked. "Oh, I cussed too didn't I? Well, as I said, not in the school." She laughed.

"Yeah, I won't tell on you..."

"Regina." She held out her hand. "Well I suppose that's Ms. Mills to you." Regina gave her a teasing look.

"Well Ms. Mills, I am Emma Swan." She shook the teachers hand.

"Have a good day Miss Swan, I'm sure I'll see you around." With that Regina turned around and strutted to the school. She added an extra sway to her hips without even realizing it.

~Emma~

Emma was currently sitting in the student lounge waiting for the bell signaling that first period was starting, to ring. She glanced over her schedule one last time.

1st period: Science- Mr. Smith

2nd period: History: Mrs. Decker

3rd period: Art- Mr. Parks

4th period: English- Ms. Mills

5th period: Health- Mr. Hood

6th period: Math- Mrs. Jones

'Wait...' Emma thought. 'Is that Regina Ms. Mills or a different Mills? Hopefully, Regina!'

The obnoxiously loud bell rung. It was time for Science! Emma loved all subjects, if she had to pick a favorite it would be English, even though she thought she was horrible at it.

~Regina~

Regina's day was going surprisingly well considering all the mishaps that took place earlier that morning. All her classes seemed a good size. Last year she had classes with over 35 students which was many more then she was used to. However, this year her largest class has 29 students!

Now, it was was 4th period. Regina took the time between classes to print off the syllabus for her class. She was really excited about her 4th period this year because she planned something different. There are two semesters in the year so she decided for each semester she would have the students write. The first semester she would have them write a relatively large essay about a very controversial topic and their opinion on it. She wanted them to really take their time and do lots of research. Second semester, she had not yet decided, but she knew she wanted it to be something that could really allow her students to show their writing skills and creativity.

She grabbed her printed syllabus' and started to walk around placing them on each desk. She heard footsteps behind her and looked up to greet her first student to walk in. She continued to greet each student as they entered. They all took seats next to their friends and started talking.

'Most likely gossiping.' Regina thought.

She looked back to the door and none other than Emma Swan walked right through.

"Nice to see you again, Miss Swan." Regina smiled.

"Hello." Emma have a small smile in return before walking fully into the room and looking for an empty seat. She always tried to get into the classroom first to get a good seat where she could be more secluded from the rest of the class, but some guy knocked her books out of her hand in the hallway and of course they took forever to pick up.

Regina saw Emma's internal struggle and walked up behind the blonde.

"I'm guessing you probably haven't met anyone yet? Since your new?" Regina said and smiled tentatively.

Emma shook her head.

"I have a desk in the back beside mine. It's meant for students in trouble, but if you would like, you may sit there."

Emma sighed relieved and smiled appreciatively before saying thank you and heading to the back of the room. The desk was off to the side of Regina's, but still in front of it, probably so that she could still keep an eye on whatever delinquent would be sitting there.

Regina shut the door after making sure all the students were in. She walked to the front of the room.

"Good afternoon everyone, for those of you that don't know, I'm Ms. Mills. Welcome to your last English class in high school, Seniors!"

Would you consider that a cliff hanger? Oops. *evil smile*
