Daisy examined herself in the mirror for the third time this morning. Today was her first day of school at Auradon Prep so she didn't want to look like a total wreck even though she felt like one. She was extremely nervous and fidgeting terribly with her outfit.

"I-I can d-do this. I c-can do th-this." The petite girl stuttered to herself in a sorry attempt to calm down.

She pulled at the sleeves of the over-sized green sweater she was wearing. The teen scanned her tan skinny jeans and brown combat boots in the mirror. She's gonna stick out like a sore thumb among all the high fashion princesses in this school.

A knock on her door caused the stressed girl to nearly jump out of her skin. The door opened to reveal her older brother, Doug. He was dressed in a fine green dress shirt and khaki pants.

"Are you ready?" Doug asked.

Daisy sharply shook her head no. She then used sign language to tell her brother she didn't want to go to school. The poor girl was scared to death. She signed only when she couldn't speak, and she couldn't speak only when she was extremely nervous or scared or both.

The older boy smiled sweetly at his terrified sister before looking around her new dorm room. Many of the freshman's things were still in boxes that needed to be unpacked, but Doug was able to find what he was looking for. He walked over to Daisy's bed and picked up her signature purple beanie, a "hipster" variation of their father's old hat he wore when he first met Snow white, before moving to her side.

"You're going to be fine. You are a great student. You are a great person. You're great so you'll do great." Doug assured the small girl as he slid the beanie over her long brunette hair and tucked the remaining strands behind her ears.

Daisy smiled at her big brother. "Thanks, Doug." She said in a small voice before wrapping her arms around him.

Doug held the girl close to his chest for a minute so she would calm down. The siblings separated and Doug tickled his sister as he released her, making Daisy giggle. In return Daisy grabbed his glasses and ran.

"Hey! Not fair!" Doug laughed, chasing after her. She jumped on top of her bed and put on his glasses, crossing her eyes and sticking out her tongue as she did so. Doug laughed heartily before grinning and shaking his head.

"Come on. We better get going. I'd hate for you to be late on your first day." He said, holding out his hand to help the girl down and take his glasses back. Daisy's big smile shrunk. The girl stepped down and gave Doug his glasses. He placed them back on his face and turned to leave to room.

"Yeah. We can't have that." Daisy faked a playful tone as she grabbed her messenger bag and left her room.

The front lawn of Auradon Prep was swarming with students. Returning students greeted their friends, caught up on summer activities, and compared schedules. New students were looking around lost, trying to find their classes or someone who could help them do so.

Daisy took a deep breath and stayed close to Doug's side. She tugged at her long sleeves. She knew she was getting strange looks. She was wearing a sweater in August. Who wouldn't be looking at a strange sight like that?

Doug noticed his sister fidgeting again. He took her hand and held it tightly. It was a small gesture to most but to Daisy it was the difference between making it into the school building calmly and having a panic attack in the middle of the front lawn.

Daisy gave Doug's hand two tight squeezes: her signal for him to look at her. He turned his head back to her, and Daisy signed Can we go somewhere less crowded?

Doug nodded and started leading her to the picnic tables on the other side of the building, ironically where he was planning to take her anyway.
