After being homeschooled her whole life, Emma Swan, 17, finally goes to a public school for senior year. Since she's never been to a public school, she has a difficult time.
Killian Jones, also 17, has been attending school in Storybrooke his whole life. He knows everything about the school, inside and out.
After seeing that Emma is struggling, Killian offers to help. But being told that Killian is bad news, Emma turns down his offer.
A few weeks later, Emma continues to get bullied for her cluelessness of what happens at a school, so she finally accepts Killian's offer.
Killian and Emma meet everyday after school for their 'lessons.' Eventually, they get along and Emma realizes that Killian isn't nearly as bad as people say.
Emma Swan is an orphan who is being transferred into another group home. She lives on a specific set of rules she has made for herself. Never ask for seconds at the dinner table, do things when told to, and don't fall under the influence of anything bad. But eventually, she tires of following the rules and being the perfect kid, so she slips up. But when a man comes to interview her to join another group home, what will happen? He promises her that she wouldn't be the only one that feels like they don't belong.
The perfect band of misfits.
Emma reluctantly agrees. She has a different feeling in her chest about this home.
Different would be the only way to explain it.
