A/N:So sorry this has taken so long, and that this is such a short chapter. I just started Summer vacation but I will be working. I will try and update this and my other fics as much and as soon as possible! I really wanted to get this posted so I haven't spellchecked or proof read. If anything doesn't make sense please let me know!

Thanks for sticking with me!

Emma walked into class with a minute to spare. She quickly grabbed a seat in the back of the room and took her notebook out.

The classroom was a decent size with desks in a circle, in the center of the room. The room was filled with instruments ranging from a grand piano to chimes. The other students were around the room playing the various instruments trying to make something halfway decent sounding. Emma ignored the noise as she waited for the teacher to arrive.

Emma was still smiling as she thought about her afternoon with Ruby, when the teacher entered and made her way to the front of the classroom.

The teacher was a middle aged woman, with long dark brown hair and green eyes. Once she made her way to the front of the room and put her things down she turned to the class and said,

"Hey, everyone. Sorry I'm late. Since there is a new student I'm going to give my spiel quickly. My name is , but I prefer Jordan or JR. Hmm.. what else?

Umm.. I am originally from Massachusetts and graduated from Boston College with a degree in Music theory. I chose to teach because I love to play and wanted to share that with younger people. Anything else...?

Ahh.. Syllabus. In this course there isn't going to be any test or things like that. I am going to treat you like musicians and adults, so that means that you don't have to show up, you don't have to practice, but know that you all will be performing, an original composition, at the end of the semester. So yeah, everyone can now get back to work."

The other students went back to the instruments that were around the room and started working. Emma continued to sit at her desk in the back of the room watching the clock tick by.

Emma was lost in thought, trying to think of something to write about. Emma was thinking about her life and everything that has happened. Emma was still thinking when Jordan came over to speak with Emma, "Ms. Swan?"

Emma looked up and saw Jordan standing next to her. Emma nodded and said, "Emma."

Jordan nodded and took a seat next to Emma, "I was looking through your transcripts, and if I am being honest I don't know why you are here. You are obviously very smart."

Emma gave a shy smile and said, "Thank you. But I like school."

Jordan nodded and looked at Emma, "So, do you need any help? I know most of the students are almost done, seeing as the semester ends in about 5 weeks. I must be hard for you to catch up on everything."

Emma shook her head and said, "Nah, the material is mostly review anyway." The bell rung signaling that the period was over. Emma grabbed her notebook and put it back into her bag.

Jordan watched Emma pack up and walk to the door, right before Emma left the classroom Jordan called out, "I know this assignment is hard but please don't hesitate to come to me if you need help."

Emma smiled and nodded, not saying another word, as she left the classroom.

Jordan sighed and went back to the front of the classroom to collect her things. For some reason she couldn't stop the feeling that she knew Emma from somewhere. Hmm, maybe she just has a familiar face.

Emma went to her locker and deposited her books into her locker. She decided to walk to Henry's locker to see if he wanted a ride home.

Emma walked to the middle school and looked for Henry. When she spotted him, with a group of friends, she walked over to him and called out, "Henry! Yo, Kid!"

Henry heard his name and looked up. Henry smiled and called out, "Hey Emma!"

Henry's friends looked at Emma with their mouths open, "Hen-Henry. Who IS that? She is HOT!"

Henry cringed a little hearing his friends call his foster-sister hot. Henry shuddered when he thought back and remembered calling Emma hot. Henry chose to ignore that and rolled his eyes, "That's my foster sister Emma. And stop staring you guys are being creepy"

Emma walked over to the table that Henry and his friends were sitting at. Emma smiled and said, "I am about to leave, you want a ride?"

Henry said, "Nah. Thanks though. We are going to the skate park. We are trying to do a new trick."

Emma nodded and asked, "What trick?"

Henry's friends looked at her and asked, "You know skateboarding?!"

Emma looked at them with a smirk, "Umm, yeah-" Emma then looked back at Henry and asked, "-Who are they?"

Henry laughed and said, "These morons are my friends. Hansel, Nick, and Adam."

Emma nodded and said, "Nice to meet you."

None of the boys could respond. Emma chuckled and said, "Alright then, I'm gonna go. Try to come home in one piece."

Henry rolled his eyes and said, "Thanks. See ya later."

Emma waved bye and headed back towards the high school parking lot.

Henry and his friends watched as Emma went inside the building and exited now holding her backpack and helmet. Emma got on her bike, revved the engine and took off.

Henry's friend Nick turned back to Henry and said, "I think I'm in love."

Henry laughed and shook his head, "Eww. Come on, lets go before my mom calls me to come home."

When Emma parks in the driveway she sees Regina's car. Emma enters the house and calls out, "Regina?"

Regina calls back, "In my office!"

Emma walks to Regina's home office and pushes the door open. Regina takes her glasses off and looks up at Emma, "Hey. What are you doing home? What time is it?"

Emma smiles, enters her office, and drops down onto the plush leather couch. Emma looks at the clock hanging on the wall and says, "3:40PM"

Regina looks at the clock and jumps up from her chair, "Crap. Henry!"

Emma just laughs and says, "He went with his friends to the skate park. They are working on a new trick. I told him to come home in one piece."

Regina rolls her eyes and sighs, "Thanks."

Emma smiles and says, "No problem."

Regina puts her glasses back on and is about to go back to reading when Emma calls her name, "Regina.."

Regina looks up again and says, "Yes?"

Emma chews on her bottom lip and hesitantly asks, "Umm.. Would it be alright if I go to the diner tomorrow night with Ruby?"

Regina looks up at Emma and smiles, "Of course. Do you two have a school project?"

Emma shakes her head shyly, "No." Emma then ducks her head and quietly says, "It- It's a date."

For a second Regina is silent. Emma then nervously looks back up at Regina only to see her smiling. Regina takes off her glasses again and moves to sit next to Emma. Emma nervously rubs her hands on her jeans but continues to look at Regina.

Regina takes one of Emma's hands and pulls her into a hug. Emma breathes a sigh of relief. Regina is ok with Emma liking/dating girls. Of course Regina knew how Emma thought Ruby was good looking.

Regina smiles again and asks, "So, how did it happen?!"

Emma blushes and tells Regina all about her day with Ruby. When Emma finishes her story Regina is smiling and says, "I am really happy for you Emma!"

Emma and Regina make their way out of the office and to the kitchen to start dinner. Regina decides to make lasagna and teach Emma how to make it.

Emma and Regina are laughing in the kitchen when Henry comes home. Henry puts his stuff upstairs and washes up for dinner. Henry enters the kitchen and is passes a basket of dinner rolls and is told to put them on the table.

Dinner that night is filled with laughter and smiles. Emma is making fun of Henry's friends making him laugh. Regina takes a sip of wine and thinks, 'yeah, this is perfect."
