Chapter 2: When strangers meet

After school, Killian searched for Emma in a sea of students. He hasn't seen her since their English class ended. Killian's friends waited for him at the front of the school. His close group of friends consists of Robin Locksley, who is his best friend since kinder garden, Victor Whale, Jefferson Hatter and Will Scarlet. All of them were part of the football team of Storybrooke High. Since they didn't have practice today, they decided to go to Granny's Diner, a local restaurant where he and his friends often hang out.
When they arrived at Granny's and ordered their cokes and their snacks, they sat at their regular booth.
"So how did your first day go?" Killian asked his friends.
Victor shrugged, "Fine, I guess. Nothing much happens around here anyway."
"I just can't wait to play football again. We are going to win big time!" Robin was always enthusiastic when it came down to playing football.
"Well, let's just see how practice goes tomorrow." Will answered.

They ate their food while talking about their senior year and football some more.


David waited in the parking lot to pick Emma up from school. Mary Margret had to go to a teacher meeting so they couldn't ride home together.

"So, how was school today?" David asked. Emma grabbed her notebook and wrote that it was fine. She didn't say anything about that Walsh guy or the gorgeous stranger she saw during English.
"How about we go to Granny's to celebrate your first day as a senior?" Emma just nodded.

When they arrived, Emma saw the stranger with blue eyes sitting in one of the booths near the window. She couldn't help but blush a little when she saw him.
They sat down at a booth by a window. From her seat, Emma couldn't see the handsome stranger anymore since she was sitting with her back to him. A waitress named Ashley came by to take their orders.

"What do you want sweetie?" Emma looked up from her menu and wrote something down. She gave the note to David, who smiled when he saw what she wrote.
"A grilled cheese sandwich and a hot chocolate with cinnamon and whipped cream for the lady. And a coke with a burger for me, please."
"Coming right up!" After Ashley went to grab their order.
"I see being a senior doesn't change your eating patterns." David smiled at Emma. He knew how much she liked her grilled cheese and hot chocolate. Mary Margret introduced her to the wonder of putting cinnamon and whipped cream on her hot chocolate. Since then, Emma only drank her hot chocolate that way.
After Ashley came with their orders, they ate in silence.

When David went to the bathroom, Killian came over.

"Hey lass, what's your name?" Even though he already knew, he just wanted to be polite.
Emma grabbed her notebook again. "Hi, I'm Emma Swan. What's your name?"
"Killian Jones at your service." Emma smiled at him.
"Well, I guess I'll see you around at school, Swan."
"I guess you will", Emma wrote in her notebook.

David saw Killian leaving Emma at their booth. When he sat down again he asked who that guy was. Emma just shrugged. She had no intention to give David any information about Killian. He was the first one that was nice to her.


When he came home, Killian was greeted by his brother, Liam. Liam is the one who takes care of him. Their mother died when Killian was only seven years old. When Liam's eighteenth birthday arrived, their father left them and never came back. Killian, who was only ten years old at the time, was devastated when he found out his father left them without saying goodbye. Since then, Liam was one of the few people he truly trusted.

"So, how was your first day as a senior, little brother?" Liam grinned at him. He knew Killian hated it when he called him his little brother.
"It's "younger brother", Killian answered annoyed. " And it was fine. I met this lass today."
"Ooh, a lass you say eh. Aren't you with Milah anyway?" Liam didn't like Milah very much. She was the head cheerleader and a bit possessive when it came to Killian. Of course his little brother hasn't noticed it yet since he was in love with her and only saw her sweet side.
"Aye, still with Milah. Doesn't mean I can't be friends with other girls though." Killian sighed.
Liam just smiled knowingly. Whoever this girl was, he had a feeling she was someone special.

Killian just went to his room to play a game on his computer. In reality he was just thinking about the beautiful lass he met today.


By the time Mary Margret came home, David and Emma were watching "The Princess Bride", one of Emma's favorite movies.

"So, how was your first day, senior?" Mary Margret smiled proudly at Emma. Emma just shrugged and grabbed her laptop which had a program that reads everything aloud that is written.
"It was fine." The robotic voice read.
David chuckled "She met a guy today." Mary Margret smiled at that. She was so happy Emma made a friend today since she has been alone for so many years.
Emma blushed at the mention of Killian.
"David, stop making her blush." Mary Margret said with a knowing smile.

When the movie was finished, Emma went upstairs to get ready for bed. The last thing she thought about before she went to sleep, were the blue eyes of Killian Jones. Maybe this year won't be too bad. That night she fell asleep with a small smile on her face.
