*Regina's POV*
I sat at my desk at the end of the day and chewed on the tip of my pen. That Emma Swan sure does make a first impression. She's been on my mind the entire day today. She's a gorgeous gorgeous girl and I swear I recognize her from- oh gods. I quickly grabbed my phone, remembering where I recognized the blonde from and I unlocked it before going to Instagram. I typed in a username and immediately found the account I was looking for. I scrolled through his pictures and my eyes went wide as I clicked on a picture.

"Beautiful Emma Swan

"Beautiful Emma Swan. Thanks for coming and doing this shoot with me! See more of Emma's pictures here."

My eyes were still wide as I closed out of Instagram and went back to trying to read over the kids assignments from today. I knew I recognized her from somewhere. How could I not remember those gorgeous eyes? Her gorgeous everything, really. No! Stop Regina! She's your student! I shook my head at myself as I moved to the next paper and I smiled seeing it was Emma's. I immediately started reading her neat handwriting, a smile on my face.

I smiled again as I uncapped my pen and set her paper down. I bit my lip as I circled numbers 28, 30, 38 and 40. Then I began writing a note on the bottom of her page.
Remember these especially Ms. Swan. They're more important than you think ;)
I blushed as I went up and underlined numbers 2, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 26 and 41. I smiled and moved onto the next paper.
