Okay so this is my third update tonight. I wasn't going to continue with this story but then I read the reviews so now I will. And thanks for the reviews they were really sweet. So thank you.:)
I was surprised that when I arrived back at my house Brody was already there. Normally it took him another twenty minutes to get to my house. We were pretty close friends, even though we kind of ignored each other at school. we just didn't hangout with the same people, but it had become kind of a tradition for us to meet up at my house to do homework. Brody had been looking a bit frazzled after the press had attacked him today but he seemed back to normally, which was good because normally he was a really fun guy.
"Hey," I called, pulling a jell-o out of the fridge.
"Hey," he called back, his voice slightly strained. I looked up from my jell-o. His eyes were slightly stressed and he kept running his hands though his hair.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked, concerned.
"Uh kinda, but do you happen to know where Mina lives?" he asked. I looked at him with one eye brow raised.
"And why would you need to know that?" I asked.
"I may have run over her bike. And then she left before I could apologize." he said, running his hands though his hair again. I covered a laugh with my hand. That was so Mina.
"Oh my gods Brody, how on earth did that happen," I asked, still laughing.
"Well apparently she was dropping something off from her mother's company, and I didn't see her bike so I drove over it, and then when I called after she just looked mortified before she took off down the street," he said, started to smile a little too.
"Well then. You sire are going to drive her to school tomorrow and apologize. Especially since its going to rain tomorrow morning," I said, formulating the perfect plan to get them together. This was just the opportunity I had been waiting for. I of course knew about Mina's crush on him, and Brody was pretty obvious about his on her.
"Great! Where does she live," he asked, perking up a bit.
"A few blocks away from the address I'm going to give you," I said.
"And I can't just pick her up from her house because?" he asked.
"Because she and her mother will absolutely flip out. She has this thing about her address being secret," I said, knowing I would prob ably get it from Mina for even telling Brody the path she took to school.
"Okay, and thank you so much Nan," Brody said.
"What are friends for," I said giving him a hug. He smiled.
"We should probably get started on our calculus homework," he said.
"Yes. Actually, one more thing. Make sure you apologize to her while she is in your car," I said knowing how Mina would react if Brody Carmichael started talking to her during school.
"Won't that make her think I don't want to be seen with her at school?" he asked confused.
"Probably, but that's better than the alternative," I said, with a slight smirk before grabbing my bag and heading to my living room. He followed me. Halfway through our chemistry homework he pulled something out of his pocket.
"By the way, I noticed you threw away your old phone to save me. So I got you a new one," he said, handing me the newest model iPhone.
"OH MY FLIPPING GOD! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!" I screamed before jumping up and hugging him. I chuckled, and we sat down to continue our homework. Truthfully I spent most of it programming my new phone that Brody gave me.
Several Hours Later
"Nan, I need to talk to you!" my mom called form the other room.
"Kay just a sec," I said before putting down my new phone and going in.
"Whats up?" I asked, completely at ease. She held up the newspaper. On the front cover was a picture of Mina, from the school year book. She looked absolutely horrid. Oh, she was going to hate it.
"What happened at the bakery today?" my mother asked more sharply than I was used to.
"Um, Brody fell over a railing and Mina and I saved him," I said timidly wondering what she was getting at since she had obviously read the newspaper.
"Was there anything else strange going on at the bakery," she asked, her voice a little kinder.
"Ya, our tour guide was really weird. Like she was stunningly beautiful but then she seemed like she was trying to seduce Brody and totally ignored the rest of us. It was almost like she had put a spell over him, and then he even broke up with Savannah when she confronted the women about it. I think her name was Clarissa. Why do you ask?" I asked, curious as to why her mother had slowly been getting paler and paler as she told the story.
"I was afraid of this," my mother muttered.
"What?" I asked.
"You might want to sit down for this dear," my mother said, patting the couch beside her. I sat.
"Will you tell me whats going on now?" I asked, slightly worried seeing how serious my mother's face was.
"Nan, I've been keeping a secret from you. It rather complicated, and I will explain it to you but until tonight I didn't think I was going to have to. This proves I will. Nan, your last name, my last name, isn't Taylor. Its Grimm."
So what do you think? Please review. Also there is going to be a bit more like that beginning part with Nan and Brody. This is because when I was rereading the first book it says that Nan was given her phone by a close family friend and then she texts said friend who I think we all assumed was Brody, so I wanted to add in a bit of friendship between the two, because they totally could have been besties. Also just so you know when my summary says Meague/Jarina it is eventually, there may be how should I say this, a few Nans in the road between them. Also in your review please tell me if you want me to write out the conversation where Nan's mom explains the Grimm curse to Nan or just a quick summary of it.:)
