Beep Beep Beep...
Emma wakes up with a smile on her face, and with so much energy, this is her first day of high school and everyone gets excited for their first day of high school.
She stretches a little in her bed, turns to her right, and takes her phone in her hands. She texts to her best friend, Ruby Cortez, to ask if she is already awake.
Ruby and Emma knew each other since kinder garden, Ruby is the opposite from Emma. Emma loves school; she likes to study, and get good grades ―especially in English―. Emma wants to become a writer so her focus has to be English and everything that has to do with it. She also loves sports especially soccer, while Ruby hates school, and she'd always said she wanted to be an actress. Ruby just loves to dance since it was in her. Being born in Cuba has been an essential part of having the salsa in her blood.
But still with all that craziness Emma, loves her so much like the sister she never had. Ruby lives in the house across from Emma's, the neighbourhood they live in is really quiet, and is located in Hamilton ,Onatrio,Canada. And they will be attending to Barton Secondary School.
Emma sees her phone screen light up indicating she received a text from her friend saying that she was getting ready. Then the blonde gets up from bed and begins her morning routine. She comes back from the washroom, and start going through her closet and decides to wear black pair of skinny jeans, a white t-shirt with black stripes, her red flats, and to complete the outfit she takes her red leather jacket. She looks herself in her full length mirror and for the expression in her face, she likes what she sees. Red looks so great with her fair skin. Then she turns to her left beside her full length mirror and the wall is her dresser, she walks towards there and open the top shelf on the right. In the left corner is her makeup she takes and starts applying some, the final result is really natural ―hardly visible ―, but it does makes her green eyes really stand out. Emma is not really the kind of girl that really cares about how she looks, but today is the first day of high school, so she wants to make a really good impression and beside Ruby probably is going to dress up like she is going to red carpet.
Emma turns around and starts to make her bed, with her purple with green flowers sheets that matches with the green and purple decorations in the walls. The bed is located in the center of the room, and to the right of it there is a nightstand with a lamp on top of it. besides the lamp there is a portrait of ruby and hers , and her phone is right beside , in front of the bed is her closet, in the rest of the room there are posters , with her favourite movies, ,TV shows and singer , and behind her bed there is a big window that views to her backyard and the pool. Emma finishes doing her bed, she goes gets her black backpack, her self-phone and leaves the room.
She walks toward the stairs, passed by the guest bedroom, her washroom, and her parent's bedroom, she walks down the stairs, passed by the leaving room into a hall that leads her to the kitchen. There is where she finds her parents.
"Good morning!" said both looking towards her.
"Morning mom, dad!'" she saying walking toward them given each a good morning kiss.
"What is for breakfast?" she asks walking toward the breakfast bar.
"Well sweetie, since is your first day of high school, your dad and I want to treat you , you can have whatever you want for breakfast today" her mom said with a smile on her face, Emma looks toward her dad and also smiling said. "Yes, you can ask for whatever you like".
Emma tells her parents what she wants, which is hot cocoa with cinnamon on top ― her thing, she loves it ―, and she also ask her parents for pancakes with lots of maple syrup.
Emma's parents are the best anyone could ask, her mother Mary Margaret Swan is a petite woman with short black hair, green eyes, and fair skin like Emma's making them look pretty much alike ― except for the hair―. Mary Margaret is an elementary school teacher, she's always supporting Emma in everything, and her family is what she loves the most.
Her father David Swan is the most loving father in the world, he was the one that teach Emma to love sports and to play soccer, he is pretty tall with blond short hair, green eyes, and pale skin. He also has a really handsome athletic body, and he works as a detective for the Hamilton police.
Meanwhile, Emma eats her breakfast and someone knocks on the door. Her mother goes and sees who is it, it is when she feels someone putting their hand in her eyes.
"Guess who it is"... and of course is her best friend Ruby,
"Ruby" she said excited turning around and hugging her best friend
"Are you ready for the first day?" Emma asked looking at her best friend's outfit. The young brunette is wearing a red short dress that is a little above her knees, ―it's September so is still hot outside―, she also wearing a golden color flat sandal with a little bow on top, her long black wavy hair is perfectly done. As a nice touch to the outfit, she is wearing a long gold color necklace and a bracelet that matches with it, and as a final touch a big black purse. Indeed, she is dressing like she's going to a red carpet.
"Hell yeah" she responded enthusiastically.
"Girls" David said with a scolding tone, and that is when they realize Emma's parents still in the kitchen with them.
"Sorry" they hear Ruby said a little shy, not knowing where to look.
"Ok, girls I'm heading out now, do you want a ride to school?" Mary Margaret said turning around from the kitchen counter, now facing the breakfast bar. Emma and Ruby turn around and look at each other, they nod but she sees something in her best friend's eyes, and she knows exactly what it is. Emma turns to her mom once again and said, "yes mom, of course but maybe could you leaves us a street away from the school?"
"And, why is that Emma?" Mary Margaret asks looking at her husband and then at the girls?
"Umm…" Emma hesitated.
"Are you embarrassed by me Emma?"
"No, mom of..."
"Don't worry, I understand you girls are starting high school, I was in your position once, let's just go" and with that Mary Margaret said good bye to David and walked to the dining area that was in the other side of the kitchen to the right. She took her briefcase, and went straight towards the front door.
The girls didn't say another word, so Emma got her backpack that she had left in the corner of the breakfast bar before, and followed her mother with Ruby right behind as she said good bye to David.
Once in the car, they drove to school in silence until Mary Margaret asked her daughter if she has gotten her lunch that she have left on the kitchen counter, to which Emma answered that she didn't see it.
And between those small talks, ten minutes later they made it to school. Mary Margaret gave Emma money for lunch, because she and Ruby were going to go and have lunch at Ruby grandmother's cafe. Ruby grandmother's name was Elena Cortez, who move into Ruby's parents' house with her after Ruby lost her parents in terrible car accident when she was 8 years old. Emma remembers how Ruby cried, and didn't want to eat anything for like a week, and up until now. Ruby does not like to talk about them.
"Emma have good day at school" that is when her mom interrupts her thoughts.
"And I will see you this afternoon" she says kissing her daughter on the cheek, Emma whines she doesn't like being kiss in public and less by her parents. Mary Margaret laughs and so does Ruby. Then Emma's mom turns around to the back seat to wish a good day to Ruby too. They both jump out of the car and head to school that is one street and a half away, because after their request, Mary Margaret had dropped them away from the school.
Once inside the school they look around and see so many people, some running toward their friend to hug probably because they haven't seen each other in the whole summer, and others were laughing with each other. They look towards their front and there is the auditorium right in the entrance, to their left they see the main office and to the right is the school nurse office. Both girls walk towards the school main office and enter, they go straight to the woman that is at the front desk, and that's when Emma sees her for the first time right behind the woman at the front desk. She is talking to another woman; she is wearing a black pencil skirt, a white silk blouse underneath and a 4 inches red high heels. Her dark hair reaches just a little above her shoulders, brown eyes and olive skin contrast with her lips red as blood. She couldn't be older than 25. Emma then hears Ruby talking to the woman but she can't tear her eyes from that beautiful woman. Her heart is beating so fast the she think it's trying to escape from her chest, and that is when the woman locks her brown orbs with Emma's. The young blonde felt like the whole world came to a stop in that very moment. The woman looks at her with a sweet smile while she walks toward the door and Emma follows her with her sight until she disappears into a door that seems to be the stairs that led to the second floor of the school. That's when she feels Ruby pulling her by the arm and saying "Emma come on we have to go the cafeteria to get our timetables"
We get out of the main office and walks towards the woman was walking minutes ago, but instead of turning right towards the stairs we keep walking , and to our right is the cafeteria , we open the door and get in.
Emma decided to keep what just happened in the office to herself, that feeling probably had something to do with the excitement of the first day.
Once inside the cafeteria Emma and Ruby get in line the get their timetable, and there is when they meet their idiotic 'friends' Killian Jones. He's such an idiot, he thinks he is the greatest thing and to be honest, Emma can't stand him and neither does Ruby. He doesn't know how to do anything else besides being an idiot and he is walking towards them with someone else, probably another idiot.
"Hello loves" there he is Emma though.
"hey" Ruby and Emma said at the same time , not really happy to see him.
He turns to the other boy and present him to them as Robin, and they start talking about god knows what. Emma didn't pay any attention and neither did Ruby, then they finally got your timetables and got the hell out of the cafeteria without even looking at the timetable.
They went straight to the stairs which they passed by earlier and they stop the corner to check their timetables. Emma had Science at first with Ms. Finch, second she has English with Ms. Mills. Third she has lunch, then Geography with Ms. Chase, and last gym with Mr. Booth.
Ruby have the same classes as hers except English, in that time she had history.
All their classes are located on the second floor, they went up the stair and went to look for their respective lockers that where one beside each other. They left their belongings there and took a notebook before heading to their first class that was Science in room 219.
The thing was that in that moment Emma didn't know how her life was going to change forever.
