Chapter 11 school

That morning Marina was awakened early by her alarm clock. She put on her robe quickly and got downstairs to get breakfast. Ashley was already there to feed Alexandra and to eat with Sean before he had to leave for work. ''Good morning,'' she said, ''you're up early. You must be nervous for your first day of school. It must be weirs to never have attended school. Do you want me to help with your hair and clothing?''

Marina nodded, she was glad that Ashley offered.

''You must eat well for your first day of school,'' Sean said. ''Shall I make some sandwiches for you?''

''That's nice of you honey, to do that for marina.''

After Sean made her breakfast he took Alexandra over from Ashley. ''Hé little girl of mine. Are you staying with your daddy before he has to leave for work.''

''Go take a shower,'' Ashley said when marina finished her breakfast. ''I'll come upstairs shortly to help.''


''Let's see what we can find,'' Ashley said about half an hour later. ''You got really gorgeous clothes.'' After they picked out clothes Ashley did Marina's hair.

Then Caroline stepped into the room. ''Good morning, ready for your first day of school?''

''Almost we only have to pack her bag yet.''

''Well then I'll make something tasty for lunch.'' Then they heard her going to Brenn's room to tell him to hurry up.


When they were both ready they left for school. There Brenn took Marina to their home room teacher. ''Hello you must be Marina, I'm Miss Brooklyn but you can call me be my first name Eathelin. You'll find your way around here soon don't worry. Here's your schedule and I wish to speak to you after school so I can get to know you. Have fun on your first day.''

Marina and Brenn had math together. Brenn walked to the teacher immediately. ''Mister Stewart this is the new student Marina Poisson.''

''All right put her down there,'' and the teacher pointed to an empty table next to a girl with long blond hair.

''Can't she sit next to me?''

''No we've got assigned seats and we stick to them. I already took the chair away from there.''

''Brenn took her to the table. ''hay I'm Yasmine what's your name?'' the girl asked.

Marina quickly took out pen and paper from her bag to write down her name.

''Why did you wrote down your name instead of saying it?''

I can't talk.

''The class hasn't started yet so your still allowed to talk.''

No, my voice doesn't work.

''How come?''

I don't know I lost my memory in a shipwreck which killed my parents.

''I'm so sorry about that, I know how you must be feeling, well kind of. My parents passed away about two years ago.''

It doesn't matter, I mean how can you miss someone who you can't even remember. Brenn is my family now. And she looked at Brenn who had taken his own seat.

''You fancy him don't you? Just admit it.'' Marina blushed. ''You see I knew it.''


The rest of the day went by quietly marina and Yasmine liked each other. After school Yasmine brought Marina to their home room teacher Eathelin. ''Thank you Yasmine why don't you go home. I'm glad that you had time. I asked you to come so I can get to know you. Because in order to help you I need to know something about you. I shall first tell you a little bit about myself. I'm twenty-three years old. Married to a man named William. Got a younger sister you've already met her Yasmine. After our parents died two years ago I took care of her. My hobbies are: swimming, singing, making music and gardening. Now I know you've lost your memory, I also know you didn't received a warm welcome here in Storybrooke. And I'm sorry for that. I would like you to tell me about the hobbies that you've discovered perhaps. Just everything to help me get to know you. I know your parents were marine biologists and taught you a lot about sea creatures. So tell me do you like sea creatures?''

I think I like sea creatures. I know I like music and that I can play the piano. I also like to draw and read and I'm good with babies.

''You must help Ashley a lot with the baby. Do you also know things you don't like?''

Hospitals.

Eathelin laughed, ''I can understand given your experience. Well I won't keep you up any longer and let you go home. Brenn is probably waiting for you.'' Eathelin drove Marina out on the hallway where Brenn was waiting. ''Hé Brenn, you can take her home. I will see you again later bye.''

''And did you like your first day of school?'' Brenn asked on their way home. Marina nodded. She had a new friend and she thought that she maybe would like school.


The next day Marina had art class together with Yasmine. The class was taught by Mister Viator. He was man of around his forties. Everybody liked Mister Viator because you could talk and listen to music in his class, because of that it was always very noisy in the classroom.

'' Alright sit down everybody and continue with your assignment. Marina I like you to draw a self-portrait. Here's paper and a mirror. First you draw it with a pencil and then you color it with crayon. While you are all working I'm going to check the work of another class. So try not to ask too many questions when I'm finished I will walk around the classroom to see how you're doing. So let's get going.''


Marina was busy with drawing herself when Mister Viator walked by. ''You're doing well but it isn't completely correct yet.'' And he sat down beside her. ''Let's see that beautiful face of yours.'' And he lifted her chin up gently and turned her face to him so he could look at her. Meanwhile he was still holding her chin. Marina didn't like the look in his eyes it gave her the creeps. Then he stood behind her. He put his left hand on her shoulder and bowed over her shoulder to grab a pen and draw something on her paper. ''Look this goes like that. Do you understand?'' marina nodded in the hopes that he would walk away. Then he took her hand and moved the pencil in her hand around the paper. ''Look and then that line goes like this.'' Then he let go of her hand and stood up. When he put his hand down he briefly stroked her breast. Then he walked away to see how the drawings of the others were going. Marina was shaking.


She was glad when the bell rang a little while later and she could leave the room. She gestured to Yasmine that she wanted to talk to her alone. Then she wrote down what happened. ''Marina it's not that I don't believe you but I think that you are overreacting. I mean he looks over people´s shoulders a lot. And that he hand touched one of your breasts was probably just by accident. I just don't believe that Mister Viator would do that he is one of the nicest teachers on school. My sister is of course the nicest.''

But I couldn't imagine that feeling right?

''No of course not. Just wait and see one more lesson and then we go to mister Nereus the principal. Deal?''

Marina nodded do you mind not telling Brenn?

''Good I won't tell. Come let get something to eat I'm starving.''
