Chapter 1

Students were rowdy once you reach the hallways. How can it not be? It's the first day of class. Everyone is excited to see their friends once again to know if they have same classes, or their plans after class. There's quite a reunion in the hallways as friends meet again, but also bullies welcoming their 'beloved' victims. A football player talking to his teammates bumped into one golden haired girl.

"Hey, watch where you are going!" he turned around to see who bumped him. Seeing who it was it formed a smile on his lips and said, "Well, well, well. Look who we have here." He went near her and patted her back strong. "It's good to see you again freak, or nerd, or geek. You have many names. It's quite hard to decide what to call you."

The blonde was about to reply until a certain brunette cut in, "Robin, it's just the first day of classes. Please don't get yourself into trouble again."

"Oh, come on, Regina. I wasn't doing anything to her, right?" Robin argued. He hit the girl's back signifying her to answer him. Once again, she was answer but the
brunette spoke.

Regina rolled her eyes as she saw Robin's gesture and said, "Just leave the poor girl alone now, understood?" her voice was intimidating making Robin abide.

"Of course, what the queen wants, she gets it." Robin whispered harshly. He looked at girl and threatened her, "This will be the last time that you'll be saved. Next time, I'm going to hurt you." He gave her a good shove before leaving. Regina shook her head with the actions of her friend, well suitor. Robin joined her and her friends as they went to their respective classes.

"You okay, Ems?" A woman wearing black skinny jeans and white-striped sweater asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine Rubes." The girl said adjusting the black-rimmed glasses resting on her nose. "You know it'll be just same day as any day I had in the previous years of high school. Full of bullies, boring, and monotonous."

"Awww, come on Emma. It's like you're telling us we're boring." A scruffy young man stated as he went near her.

"It's not like that, Neal. But you know guys how my life is here. It's my last school year and the only progress that I have made was people knowing what's in between my thighs, and being smart!" she pointed out.

Neal and Emma have been through thin and thick they were orphans in the foster system, but they were able to leave it by escaping. When they escaped the four walls of the foster system they had to steal to live that until one day they met Ruby. Ruby was the granddaughter of the owner of Granny's Diner who has a lovely name, Granny. Everyday Ruby would sneak out food for Emma and Neal. That action made the three become best friends. When Granny found out what she was doing instead of getting angry, she told the Nolan family about the two. The Nolans, David and Mary Margaret, were happy to foster the two teens since they have no child to cater to. Since that day, the trio formed a tight-knit bond.

"Speaking of being smart, we have Pre-Calc together later. You know the drill." He said softly patting Emma's back.

"Idiot." Ruby said. She hugged Emma and smiled at her, "Don't worry I'm pretty sure that you'll have the best senior year you could ever imagine."

It was lunch time, people were not observing the proper decorum. Students chew their food while talking, some throwing their food to other students, bullies cutting the line, and of course shouting. The groups of the popular kids headed by Regina, the Queen. She is accompanied by her best friend, Belle, the smartest one in the group, followed by Jefferson, the serious gay, Robin, the football player, Aurora and Philip, cheerleader and football player, and Killian, the one armed joker, I mean jock, seriously he always gets his right arm injured . Oh, and of course, Maleficent, there was a rumor going around that she and Regina had a fling, but not that anyone cared.

As the group passed by a table, "Regina, please let's talk about." A young man got a hold of Regina's wrist trying to talk to her.

"Daniel, unhand me now, lest you wish your hand to be gone." Regina replied, but Daniel did not listen to her. She was not having any of it, so she decided to kick his sacred area. He cupped his groin and rolled on the floor. "Awww… does that hurt? That's what you get when you stick it in the wrong person." Everyone was looking at scene, so Regina announced, "Always remember that you should abide to your queen, unless… you wish to be like him." They were still looking at her.

"Okay everyone, shows over. Please get back to your seats." Belle stated, which everyone obeyed. Nobody wishes to mess up with the queen.

The group was seated to their usual table, and Maleficent decided to start the conversation, "Robin, I heard you were bullying Emma Swan again."

"So what is it to you, Dragon?" Robin spat out. Robin calls her Dragon, because obviously, she was named after Maleficent, the villain in Sleeping Beauty.

"You better watch your tongue, Pine Cone. Remember, you're only here because of Daniel and since he's no longer part of this group might as well join him." She replied.

"Would you please not mention his name anymore, can't you see Reggie isn't happy about it." Jefferson replied as he was filing his nails.

"Agree with ya, mate." Killian said he drank his flash filled with rum.

"Are you getting drunk this early afternoon?" Philip whispered harshly.

"You gotta problem, lad?"

"The two of you please, stop it." Aurora begged.

Philip ignored his girlfriend and grabbed Killian's flask.

"You son of a-"

Regina hit the table with her arms and said, "Will you please be act like civilized people?! You are all getting in my nerves." They all behaved, except Killian who was trying to get his flask. "Killian, Enough! Philip hand it over to me." Philip gave the flask to Regina.

As soon as the two settle down, Maleficent said, "Since we had bet about Daniel, Regina. You should now pay me." Long before Regina and Daniel dated, Maleficent and Regina had a bet. The bet was Daniel would or wouldn't cheat on her the rest of the high school year once they started dating. "Since he stuck it in another person, I won."

Regina rolled her eyes and replied, "Was that even valid? That was a long time ago." Maleficent show her the recording in her phone. 'This bitch!' Regina thought. Everyone on the table was curious about the recording, even Belle. "Fine, fine. I'll do it. No need to play it." She waved her hand in dismissal.

Hearing those words formed a smile on Maleficent's lips. "Regina, so you'll do it later?"

Regina bit her lip, cautious of what she'll respond. If she'll pay the price of the bet, she might not be able to show her face on campus, so she decided. "What if I make another, bet?" All of her friend's eyebrows rose with curiosity.

"It depends on the gravity of what you'll do and the consequence of you losing." She replied.

"Deal."

"And what will you be doing, dear? Remember if that bet of yours doesn't qualify to my standards, you'll do IT, TWICE." Maleficent asked with a teasing tone.

Regina was freaking out inside she didn't know what to do to fulfill her standards. As she was scanning the area, on cue Emma, Neal, and Ruby entered. With that she had an idea.

"I'll make Emma Swan fall in love with me."
