Chapter 3

It was cold and I was miserable, every step felt like my body wanted to break. I was on my way to school and all I wanted to do was crawl back into bed and hide under my covers forever. I still had a couple of miles to go when I suddenly heard my cell phone vibrating inside my jean pockets.

Sighing I pulled it out already guessing that it would be Lilly. What a big shocker I was right.

BIG NEWS GIRL! GET TO SCHOOL ASAP!

I shook my head, I could practically see Lilly jumping up and down while texting me. I was about to text the girl back when I suddenly felt rain, it started out slow but then quickly came pouring down. Great, just freaking fantastic, and of course I didn't have a damn umbrella with me today. I quickly placed my phone back into the safety of my pockets and placed my hoodie up over my head. It really sucks having jeans on in the rain, I could already feel them being completely soaked. Normally a walk like this was nothing for me, but I had to walk insanely slow so as not to hurt my broken ribs. At the pace I was going, I already knew I would be late for first period. I just prayed that the teacher wouldn't let my foster parents know, I really can't go through another night like yesterday.

I was probably about three more miles from the school when I suddenly saw a black limo driving by. When they passed me a splash off water hit me hard. I was completely soaked even more so than before.

"Thanks a lot ass whole!" I yelled. Tears were threatening to fall and I knew whoever was in that limo couldn't possibly even care what they just did. I almost wanted to just ditch school; everything was hurting so much that I wanted to scream. My body was shivering from the cold as I wrapped my arms around my pathetic self. Whoever had been in that limo was probably some rich bastards that didn't give a damn about anyone but themselves.

Nearly twenty minutes later I finally made it to the school! When I made it to the parking lot my green eyes widen in shock and anger. Sitting right near the school building was that damn limo! Grumbling some inappropriate words I made my way into the school. I decided that it would be good to head for the restroom first so that I could at least try and dry myself up a little. Once inside I grabbed as many paper towels as I could. I dried up my face and attempted to dry my soaked hair as much as I possibly could as well. Once done I threw the towels away and grabbed my backpack and headed for the door. I was nearly out when I suddenly bumped into someone and lost my balance completely, which caused me to hit the hard floor harshly. I cried out from the sudden fall, and the aching pain that was shooting through my broken ribs.

I heard a gasp. "Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry! I wasn't paying any attention" she quickly explained. The voice sounded so since and angelic like, it almost helped block some of the pain out, but only a little.

I looked up and my eyes widen at site before me. The woman held out her hand in order to help me up. I couldn't believe who it was, if Lilly were here she would be freaking out right now.

I looked at the woman like she was crazy and she chuckled lightly. "I promise my hand won't bite" she smiled.

I was about to take the offered hand but then I remembered that this woman was the thing I hated most, a celebrity! I don't know why she was here at our school, but it was her damn limo that had gotten me more soaked then I cared for. I glared at the unwanted hand and had wrapped an arm around my screaming ribs as I got myself up without her help. "I'm fine thanks" I grumbled annoyed.

She looked at me confused with somewhat familiar green eyes. "I really am sorry for bumping into you like that. I was texting to a friend when I should have been paying attention to where I was going" she explained.

I shook my head. "It's no big. Look I'm already late to class as it is so I really need to get going" I replied plainly.

"Wait please. Is there anything I can do for you, I feel bad for causing you to fall like that. It looked like it really hurt" she asked concerned.

"No thanks, I'm good. It was more surprising than painful" I lied easily. I was about to leave when curiosity just kept crawling through my mind. Turning around to face the actress I asked. "Just what are you doing here at a high school anyway?" I asked.

Her concerned look quickly became a warm smile. "Some of the cast and I came here to see if anyone at the school would like to be extras on the show for Once Upon A Time" she explained.

I rolled my eyes, in other words a way for them to get more views. "Well at least now I know what the big news was that Lilly was trying to tell me this morning" I said.

"Umm…." The actress started to reply.

I sighed. "Emma, my name is Emma" I said.

For a moment it looked like the woman was staring at me in shock. Her green eyes looked lost in another time, but she quickly recovered and spoke. "Emma, I still feel really bad for hurting you. Would you be interested in being an extra for the show? It would be lots of fun and the people we work with are really nice" she offered.

If Lilly was here she would probably have passed out right now, but I'm not Lilly. This woman was probably more afraid of me making her look bad and telling fans how she knocked me off my feet even if it was an accident.

"Listen Ginnifer Goodwin thanks for the offer but no thanks. No offense to you personally, but I hate celebrities and I don't want anything to do with them. However if you really want to make it up to me that badly even though the fall was an accident, it would be nice if you could let my friend be an extra. She is a huge fan of the show and would probably do anything to meet the cast" I explained.

When I said that I hated celebrities the actress looked hurt and for some reason I almost felt guilty. She put on a sad smile. "What is the name of your friend dear?" she asked.

"Lilly Jackson she's a freshmen like me" I explained. I pulled out my cell and groaned. "Damn first period is nearly over, look I really have to go" I said and quickly left the actress. I could tell that she wanted to say more but I was already going to be in enough trouble as it is.

-Back in the bathroom-

What is this strange feeling? I feel like my heart is screaming at me to run after the young girl that was no longer with me. She looked like she was in serious pain and I feel so horrible for causing her so much stress. Why did she hate celebrities so much? I sighed knowing it was useless to get answers at the moment and decided to take care of personal needs first.

While I was washing my hands I heard someone coming into the bathroom.

"Lana?" I asked.

Lana Parrilla, despite playing as the evil queen on the show, she and I are really good friend in real life.

She smiled softly. "Just coming to see what's taking you so long. Some of the high school kids are screaming for you" she explained.

I laughed lightly. "Are you sure that you're not just trying to send your crazy fans over onto me?" I questioned.

She gave me a fake hurt look. "Come on Gin you know I would never do that to you. I'm not as wicked as my character is" she grinned.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my red purse before heading out into the hall with Lana.

While heading back to the cafeteria my mind was racing. That girl shared the same name as my little baby, and I know this hasn't been the first time to meet another girl called Emma, but she looked so much like Josh!

Before reaching the cafeteria doors I felt Lana's arm wrap around my shoulders gently. "All right Gin what's wrong?" she asked softly.

I looked at her confused. "What do you mean what's wrong?" I asked.

She just rolled her eyes. "Gin it's easy to see when something is on your mind, did something happen?"

I sighed and we both stopped making our way back to the screaming fans. Since we were going to have auditions for extra cast members after school hours, we had agree to meet a certain amount of students throughout the day so that the cafeteria wouldn't be flooded with all the students at once, and so that we could get a chance to meet all the fans before the actual auditions.

"When I was heading to use the restroom I had accidently bumped into one of the students and caused her to fall" I explained, still feeling extremely guilty. I could still remember the painful cry that came out of her.

"Is that all? Did you apologize to her?" Lana asked.

"Of course, I felt so bad for causing her pain. The fall looked like it really hurt her" I quickly replied.

"Then I'm sure she's fine. Heck I bet she got up begging for an autograph right? And probably forgot all about the fall" Lana chuckled.

I shook my head. "Actually she doesn't like celebrities. I wanted to make it up to her for causing her to fall like that and asked if she wanted to be one of the extras on the show but she said she didn't want anything to do with celebrities and asked if we could let her friend take her place instead"

Lana raised an eyebrow. "Really now that's interesting, I don't think I have ever heard of teenager hating celebrities. I mean most teens usually have at least one celebrity role model that they love"

"No, she said that she hates all celebrities" I explained sadly.

"Hey you don't need to get all depressed about it Gin. As a celebrity you should already know that not everyone is going to love you"

"I know, and it's not that. But Lana something about this girl is pulling me to her, even though I know nothing about her"

"Really? Did you get her name?" she asked curiously.

I looked up at her sadly as memories of my baby girl came flashing through my mind. "Her name is Emma"

TBC!
