My own version of 'Matilda' OUAT style. Little Emma has a difficult time at home with her horrid parents with an added magical secret until she meets her teacher Miss Regina Mills when she starts school which unfortunately is run by Mrs Cora Mills, Regina's scary mother. Little Emma/Adult Regina fic.

Walking out of her room for dinner, little Emma looks across at the kitchen where her mother is attempting to feed baby Henry.

"Hey ratface!"

Looking over her shoulder, the blonde bites her lip as her older brother approaches her with a look of torment.

"Why couldn't you have been a boy?! Having a sister like you sucks!"

Glaring, Emma tries to be brave. "Its not my fault! I didn't ask to be a girl!"

Shoving her back, Neal heads into the kitchen to take his plate of dinner. Huffing, the blonde also enters the kitchen to get her plate. Glancing over from feeding Henry, Lisa glares at her. "What are you doing? There's no dinner for you! You've had all day indoors to eat, stop being such a greedy girl!"

Eyes widening, Emma steps back sadly then sighs turning back around to go back to her room. "..not fair.."

"What did you just say young lady?!"

Gulping, the blonde looks to her father. "Nothing.."

Raising an eyebrow, Simon glares much like Lisa had. "Well get lost and make sure you're ready for school tomorrow, you're not staying at home and sponging of me anymore"

Surprised, Emma turns back to the corridor with a small smile.

Stepping out of the car, Emma gasps looking up at the large run down building as she fixes her backpack on her back. "I'm going here?"

"Don't sound so ungrateful you brat" taking the girl's arm, Simon pulls her to the gate and pushes her inside without another word before leaving.

Frowning, Emma looks around the busy playground as she strolls up to the steps.

"Hey, your new!"

Jumping a little at the outburst, the small blonde looks over to a small brunette. "Hi..I'm Emma.."

Grinning, the girl nods. "Ruby! Nice to meet you...even though its here.."

"What's wrong with here?" Emma looks even more confused and worried.

"Its not good here Emma and the headteacher is scary and mean! When your naughty, she locks you up!"

Looking scared, the blonde hugs her arms warily. "I..don't want to be here..but I like learning.."

"You do? I like when we have quizes and can draw.." Linking her arm with Emma's to comfort her, Ruby leads her up the last steps when the bell goes. "Class is not that bad..you'll like the teacher I'm sure!"

Nodding in agreement despite not knowing who it is, the blonde follows her new found friend into class. Taking in the room, Emma bites her lip curiously then glances over to the desk where her teacher is sat. Taking a breath and watching Ruby take her seat, the blonde walks slowly up to the desk. "Hello..Miss?.."

Lifting her head from her lesson plan, the brunette teacher who is dressed in a simple red dress and her hair in a braid, smiles. "Yes dear?"

"I..I'm..new..I'm..Emma" attempting a nervous smile, the blonde blinks looking back at her.

"Oh..well its nice to meet you Emma, I hope you will like it here.." Rising from her chair, the woman walks around her desk and takes hold of Emma's shoulder causing the girl to flinch slightly. Noticing but chosing to ignore it, the teacher leads her over to a desk before crouching beside it as the girl sits down. "I'm Miss Mills, Regina when no other teacher is around.." Smiling at her with a reasurring wink, the brunette pats her arm and stands.

Watching the woman, Emma slowly grins and gets her books out excitedly. Glancing back over, Regina chuckles to herself at the girl's eagerness then begins her lesson for the day.

A/N: short I know but I'm not entirely sure how this is going to go so bare with me! Unless you have ideas to add?
