Emma's POV

I hear a ring at the door so I run down the stairs and answer it. Killian is standing in front of me.
"Hey..." I say.
"Hi..." He responds
We walk to the living room and He asks "Want to watch another movie?"
"Sure do you like disney? Or is that too little kiddish for you?"
"No I like disney." He says with a smile "What's your favorite disney movie?"
"Um... My personal favorite has always been Snow White... What about you?" I respond a little embarrassed.
"Peter Pan... Hands down! And I know this will sound weird but Captain Hook is definitely my favorite character."
"Why would you like the villain?!" I ask
"I don't know... maybe it's the hook I guess." He says with a laugh as I roll my eyes. "Well A TV show I like is called 'Bones' it's like a mystery show about these people that work in DC for the Jeffersonian which is basically just the bones Smithsonian. Do you want to watch that?"
"I love 'Bones'! Sounds good." Killian says

The past couple days we have had school off and then it was the weekend and now its Monday so we have school again.
I walk outside to drive to school and Killian is just standing there with his backpack like a 10 year old on the first day of school.
"Do you need a ride, Swan?" he asks
"No, I think I'm ok." I say as I dangle the car keys.
"Is this your car?"
"Yeah, I know it is an antique yellow bug, but I like it."
"It just looks like something my grandma would drive."
I push him playfully and say "Did you come all the way over here just to ask me if I want a ride?"
"I... uh well you see... uh..." he stumbles on his own words. "My... my truck is parked around the corner and I was wondering if you wanted to ride in it..." he says scratching the back of his head.
"Why not." I say with a smile.
When we get to his truck I go to sit in the front seat when Killian says "Not so fast... Did I forget to mention, we have to sit in the back of the truck."
"Killian! That's illegal!" I whisper shout
"Well I'm sorry, but my brother, Liam and his mates have already filled up the truck so if you want to ride to school then get in the back Swan." He says
"I'll just walk back to my car..." I say as I begin to walk back. He then grabs my hand and says "Take a chance. And try something new darling, it's called trust." I give him a hesitant look then I say "Fine, but if we get arrested I will stick a freaking bullet in your chest."
He just chuckles and says "Or a hook."
I say "Shut up." and roll my eyes. Then I throw my bag in the back.

When we get to school I hop out and begin walking to class when Killian catches up to me and says "Want to hang out later this week?"
"Do I have to do that again?" I ask
"Yes... but oh come on, admit it, that was fun." He responds with a little laugh.
"Fine... It was fun... and yeah, I would love to hang out, do you wanna come over and help me work on the mystery?"
"Sure." He says with a smile.
We walk to English together and just after we sit down Mrs. Granton says "Students, I have a very important announcement, as you all may know, every year the Seniors take a trip to another country that they will be studying that year. Well I have great pleasure to announce that this year we are going to London, England! We will be leaving in two months! And don't worry about cost aside from meals and anything you would like to buy there. The plane tickets are paid for from the students funds they gathered last year."

After class I start to walk to math when I see Killian in the corner of my eye. I catch up and say "So we are going to England."
"Yeah, you know, I am from there." He responds.
"You don't say! I thought that was a New York accent you have!"
"Alright, alright, enough of the sarcasm..."
I giggle a little bit and walk off. I look back for just a second then I bump into someone.
"I am so sorry!" I say as I help pick up their books. I look up and see a girl with brown hair and blue eyes. "I am Lacy by the way." she says in an Australian accent.
"I'm Emma." I smile back
"Well it was nice to meet you but I have to go to class."
"Me too."

Lunch came around and this time Killian sat with his friends but Lacey sat with me.
"So your new?" She asks
"Yeah my family just moved from Boston."
"Well welcome to Manhattan!"
"Thanks." I say with a smile
"Where do you live?"
"In Lake Wood in the old Grandville house."
"Doesn't that house have a mystery?" She asks
"Yeah, do you know Killian Jones?"
"Yeah, we are actually pretty good friends."
"Well he and I are going to try and figure the mystery out. Do you wanna do it with us?"
"Sure, it sounds fun." She says with a smile.
