Emma with the help of Regina finished packing everything out of her suite at Granny's bed and breakfast. Regina insisted that they start tonight. Emma wanted to protest that she was tired, but the contract she just signed hours ago was still fresh in her mind. She didn't want to get into any trouble so soon.
"Is that everything Emma?" Regina asked, excited that she was getting what she wanted. She felt as if Emma was finally where she belonged. With her.
"Yes, I have everything" Emma replied sleepily. She looked around the suite one last time. She was to be starting work with Mr. Gold in two days. She was confused as to whether or not she should go to work Monday…or forget about it. "I…um. Mr. Gold and I had a deal" Emma addressed Regina.
Regina froze. When had Emma had time to make a deal with Gold? No one should ever make deals with Gold. Regina thinking about who his counterpart was. But Gold wasn't Rumpelstiltskin right now. He was just pawn shop owner, and owner of everything in Storybrooke. "What deal did you make with him?" Regina asked Emma, trying to remain calm.
"It was if I stayed here in this suite, then as payment I would work downstairs at the front desk for like an hour every weekday" Emma replied as she picked up a bag.
Regina relaxed. "Oh, well don't worry about that. You're no longer staying in this…suite"
Emma's nod was her reply to Regina.
The next day was uneventful, Emma made sure that she was on her best behavior, and nothing happened. Regina seemed busy that weekend, with Mayor's work, and grading papers, Emma never knew she was so busy, the only time Regina spoke to Emma was during meals, other times she was in her office working. Emma hated to admit it, but she missed the extra attention. Emma had even knocked on Regina's office door and volunteer to help with whatever she was doing, but she pouted as Regina sent her away.
The following day, Emma had to go back to school, when she woke up, Regina was already gone, and left a note saying that she was in her office. During class time, Regina had everyone write a paper about why accomplishing your goals are important. After she assigned the task, Regina was at her desk tying away on her laptop. Emma was starting to regret that contract she signed. She had wanted Regina to leave her alone, and she had wanted space but know that she had it, she didn't like it. She realized that Regina was the only adult who ever showed interest in her, and wanted her around, but know she wasn't so sure.
After school, and detention, with little communication from Regina, Emma went to her room and did her homework, they had dinner, cleaned up, and now Emma was in her bed trying to sleep. She couldn't sleep, there was a lot on her mind. She looked over at the clock on the wall and it read 11:40pm. She then noticed a light shining through her bedroom window. Emma stood up and walked over to the window, and saw Sheriff Graham's cruiser. She wondered what he was doing here this time of night. Emma watched as he exited the car, and went on the side of the house and disappearing over the fence. Emma was confused to say the least. Was the sheriff breaking in?
She had to warn Regina. Emma rushed back to her room door, and opened it, she headed down the hall and to Regina's room. Emma was about to knock on the door, but froze when she heard two people voices, speaking in hushed tones. Emma lightly gasped. She quickly silenced it, and covered her mouth, when she realized that the voices belonged to Regina and Graham. Realization hit Emma, and she realized that Regina and Graham was having a relationship. An affair. Emma became sad, and upset all at once.
She rushed back to her room, closing the door quietly and threw herself on the bed. How could Regina do this her? She hadn't paid Emma any attention all day and now she was giving herself to Graham. She couldn't believe this was happening. She couldn't believe she was actually jealous of Graham, because he was getting attention from Regina and she wasn't. A tear surprising slipped down Emma's face, and she quickly wiped it away, frowning.
The next day…
Emma had been anxious to get to her 3rd block class the next day. She had a plan to get exactly what she wanted and she was really hoping that it would work.
Jo-Jo and Jordan had been chatting away about something, but Emma hadn't even been paying any attention. Finally, the bell signaling third block. Emma rushed to put her stuff away and get to her third block class. She heard Jo-Jo groan.
"Ugh. I don't want to go to Miss Mill's class today" Jo-Jo pouted and Jordan nodded alone in agreement.
All Emma did was smile at her friends.
Emma walked into the classroom, and glared at Regina who had her back turned and was facing the board writing something down. She didn't finish until the final bell signaling everyone to be in class went off.
"Alright Class, I want you to take out your assignments from yesterday, I hope you all finished your papers. I am coming around to collect them now" Was Regina's greeting to the class. It was always straight to business in her class. She was the Mayor, and the students she taught, had to be held at a higher standard, than all the other kids.
Emma smirked. Regina walked around the class room, picking up papers from all her students. When she got to Emma and saw no paper on her desk, she raised an eyebrow.
"Miss Swan, where's your assignment?" Regina asked.
"I didn't do it Miss Mills" Emma admitted, with a smirk, she wasn't even looking at Regina, she was looking at her fingernails. She heard a couple of the other students gasp. She rolled her eyes. Of course she did her assignment, she actually finished it in class yesterday, but this was all a part of her plan.
"And why not?" Regina asked in a dangerous tone.
"I didn't feel like it" Emma shrugged. She heard more gasps.
Regina closed her eyes, and took a deep breath. "See me after class, Miss Swan"
When Regina was out of earshot, Jo-Jo whispered in Emma's ear. "Are you out of your mind? She is going to kill you!"
Emma shrugged. "I'm not worried" And she wasn't at least not at the moment, she knew because of the contract, Regina couldn't punish her here. She was getting exactly what she wanted.
Emma went to lunch, and when she returned she went back to her plan.
Emma was acting out in class all day long. She kept "Dropping" her pencil on the floor whenever Regina was speaking, causing the students to look back at her, and not at Regina.
She didn't do any of her work. She drew pictures on the desk, while Regina was glaring at her. She was talking when she wasn't supposed to be talking. No one in the classroom, had the guts to talk during Miss Mill's class so she pulled out her cell phone, and talked on it until Regina came by and yanked the cell phone out of her hand.
When Emma started throwing paper balls, Regina had, had enough. "Emma" Regina called out, as she slammed her hand on the desk and stood up.
Emma smirked and twisted a strand of her hair. She didn't miss that Regina called her Emma, instead of Miss Swan, like she had started to do while they were in the classroom. Emma's smirk turned into an innocent smile. "Yes Miss Mills?"
"Are you aware that you are interrupting and disturbing my class?" Regina's glare remained.
"Yes Miss Mill" Emma sassed. "I just don't care"
Regina wanted to walk over, and bend Emma over the desk and teach her a lesson about being naughty in class, but the contract prevented her from doing so here. Relieved the bell rung. "After school detention is canceled for this evening, you may all go" Regina dismissed the class. "Except you Miss Swan. You come here"
Emma smiled, as she shoved her pen in her back pack. She waited until all the kids were gone, they took their time, giving Emma looks of pity as they exited.
Emma walked up to Regina's desk, and said innocently. "Miss Mills, you wanted to see me?"
"Emma, why were you disrupting my class today?"
Emma started to speak but was interrupted by Regina who raised her hand. "You know what. Save it. I'll see you at home, and I expect you to come home right after school is over, understand?"
"Yes Ma'am" Emma fake pouted and exited the room…her plan was working.
To be continued...
Should I continue?
