CHAPTER 2
The year was 2036.
"My god, mother! This place is amazing! I mean, I really love Cambridge and we practically lived in a castle back in London, but this small town, Storybrooke, really welcomes me! I feel like I am going to have a great time here!"
"Zoe my pretty, I hope you are not saying that because you hated the fact the I home schooled you for 16 years"
"What? No mom, home school was fun, but this, this is something new. I will actually interact with other students and go here in an actual school! It's going to be bloody brilliant"
"I'm sure it will be dear, I am pretty sure."
"Good Morning Ma'am, You must be Mrs. Greenwich?"
"That I am, and you must be Henry Mills am I correct?"
He held out his hand and she shook it.
"Yes, but in here I just go by Professor H." Henry said as he winked at Zoe whom he assumed as the new transferee student.
He continued. "Now Mrs. Greenwich, and…"
"Zoe! My name is Zoe Greenwich, but you can just call me Z" the teen shook hands with the professor.
"Here is the school handbook, you should read it well and make sure to follow school rules and regulations, here's your ID, your schedule for this semester and on the upper right corner, your student number and locker number that is just right there (he points out behind her) locker number 106, the code is right there as well, but it can also be opened with the keys that you've received yesterday during your first visit?"
"Yep, right here!" the girl smiled enthusiastically. She was prepared for her first day, wearing white long sleeves topped with a patterned green cropped top and skirt.
"I really wanted to show you around and accompany you to your first class but I am already late for the faculty meeting, hope you'll have a great time here, there's a map included in those documents, and well, welcome to Kingdom High!" With that, professor H left the room.
"So, is this the part where I leave my pretty daughter? (She pouts and her daughter smiles). Anyways, where the bloody hell is Daniel? She's was just right behind us, ugh that girl is getting on my nerves sometimes!"
"Mom, chill, this is quite a huge campus, she must've been lost or something?" With that said, a blue eyed girl wearing a hat and an oversized greyish greenish rug cloth coat and boots bumped into the clear door. "Oh look! There she is! Dana!"
"Ouch, man, I thought there wasn't any wall in there, "the girl said as she walked into the room carrying two green boxes full of school and personal things that belonged to Zoe. "Sorry, I'm late" She said apologetically.
"Where were you? You're late! I didn't keep you and fed you so that you can go wander around and forget doing your job! Now make sure you clean my daughter's locker and organize her things, after that you may report to the school's janitorial and maintenance services, understood?!"
"Yes ma'am" She said as the woman passed by her bumping her side on purpose that caused her to be out of balance as she was carrying an amount of heavy stuff. Thankfully she didn't fell on the ground as she sought balance at a nearby table.
"Mom, you're too hard on Dana, she did nothing"
"Hush dear, all I care about is you, I have to go now, I have some things to do as we just moved here in this town, have a wicked day my pretty, Ta-ta" She kissed her daughter and left.
"You know what, I swear to god Zoe! Zelena hates every fiber of my being! She hates me! And it's weird cause she shouldn't have kept me if she hated me this much, ugh" The blue eyed girl said to Z in a comic kind of way."For god's sakes she found me on a freakin' trash bin! or at least that's what Madame Sue told me."
Zoe laughed. "Oh come on, you know there's a saying.. the more you hate the more you love right? Besides, mom loves your mint green tea, she wouldn't live without it, and you're the only one who can serve here that from scratch!"
They both laughed.
"So, uhm, I need this, and this, and this! See you later Dana! Hope the other kids here will welcome me nicely, I mean, I wouldn't want to be bullied; I heard that things like that happen in "school"?
"What? Ha! You tell me when someone bullies you or gives you a hard time here and that person will get a taste of my fist!"
They laughed again. "I'll go now! Bye Dana!" "Yeah yeah! Don't do anything crazy Z!"
She looked at the lockers. Locker 106. It's green and customized especially for Zoe Greenwich. She made her way to the locker and tried to open it.
"Damn! It's locked, hey Z!" she tried to call but Z already left.
She took something under her hat, a pin of some sort and knelt down to try and pick the lock.
"Hey! What the hell? Are you a thief or something?" A blonde girl with dark eyeliner entered the room.
She raised her hand up just like what you see in the movies when people try to say they are innocent.
"Whoa! I swear, I am not a thief! Name's Dana Sherwood, I am Zoe Greenwich's valet..err, personal maid, she forgot to give me the keys! I'm not a thief!"
"I'm calling the guards" The blonde girl left.
"Hey!" Dana shouted "Damn it!"
