Chapter 2:
Sabrina Grimm had a horrible morning. She woke up on her second day of Grade 11 wondering what colour Puck had dyed her long blond hair. She quickly examined it to find that it was normal. She smiled as she stretched in her bed. Maybe Puck is actually growing up, she thought. Sabrina turned on her side to see a spider the seize of a dinner plate lying next to her.
Sabrina jumped out of bed and screamed. Her Granny Relda ran into the room. She was wearing a long night gown and carrying a baseball bat. "Where's the danger?" she asked as she scanned the room for threats. When she didn't find anything she put down her baseball bat and looked at Sabrina.
"There's no bad guy," Sabrina explained embarrassed, "It was just Puck, being Puck." She then motioned to the huge spider on her pillow.
"Oh Sabrina," Granny Relda said as she rolled her eyes. She then turned to the spider and scooped it up. "I'm going to give this to Puck," she said and started walking out Sabrina's bedroom.
"Good idea," Sabrina replied, "I'm coming with you. I need to give Puck a piece of my mind."
"Oh, no you're not," Granny Relda said as she turned around to look at Sabrina, "Leave the poor boy alone and get ready." She then walked out the door closing it behind her. Sabrina sat on her bed in humph. The boy gets away with everything, she thought. Sabrina gazed outside her bedroom window which looked out to the thick forest. It's really quite beautiful, Sabrina thought, I wonder why I never noticed it before.
Sabrina then began grabbing some clothes and heading across the hall to the bathroom for a shower. She bumped into Red along the way. "Hey, I heard you scream, is everything alright?" she asked very concerned.
"Yes, everything is fine," Sabrina replied, "It was just Puck, being Puck."
Red gave her a smile, "So are you going to the dance?" she asked casually.
"No probably not," Sabrina replied as Red's face fell, "Even if I did want to go, I don't really know what boy I would want to go with."
"Really," Red said as her eyebrows raised, "Not even him?" She looked at Puck's door.
Sabrina's face instantly became red. "No of course not," Sabrina mumbled, "Why would I want to go with him to the dance?"
"Because you love him," Red said as she made kissy faces.
"I do not," Sabrina said angrily. She then quickly changed the subject, "So are you going to the dance with someone special?"
Red smiled, "There is this really cute boy in our grade called Tom. I really want him to ask me, and he might actually." Red said and smiled.
"What about Daphne?" Sabrina asked.
"She won't tell me who she wants to go to the dance with," Red said sadly, then leaned in close and whispered, "But if you ask me, she seems to really like Pinocchio." Red leaned back up and smiled. She then walked back down the hall to the room she and Daphne shared. Sabrina smiled it was hard to believe that many years ago Red had been shy.
She continued down the hall and hopped in the shower. She washed her hair and scrubbed the rest of her body. Sh turned the shower off and was about to hope out of it as the door opened. Crap, she thought, I forgot to lock the door. She peeked behind the curtain to see Puck standing by the sink filling a cup of water.
"Do you mind?" Sabrina asked irritated.
Puck looked up, surprised that someone was in here, "Grimm what are you doing here?"
"I'm trying to have a shower if you don't mind," She answered back, still trying to keep her body covered.
"Oh," Puck said as he saw her clothes on the floor. He blushed and quickly opened the door muttering to himself, something a long the lines of, "Why doesn't she ever lock the door?"
When the door closed Sabrina grabbed her towel and wrapped it around herself. She would have to be more careful next time. She quickly pulled on a pair of tight blue jeans and a white tank top with a yellow cardigan. She pulled on her white converse to go with the rest of her outfit. She looked in the mirror, turning around to have a look at her self from all angles. She then began brushing her hair, that came all he way to her butt. When she was satisfied she walked out the door and down the stairs.
She walked past the dining room where Mr. Canis was reading the newspaper and Basil was busy talking to Pinocchio about something. Pinocchio seemed to be only half listening and occasionally nodded his head and said okay. She walked into the kitchen to see Granny Relda and Uncle Jake having a fight.
"You can't leave Jake, we need you here with us," Granny Relda pleaded with Uncle Jake.
"I can't stay," Uncle Jake replied, "There are two many memories in this place."
"What about Puck?" Granny Relda asked, "You can't just leave without him."
"Puck has chosen to stay here with you, because of Sabrina. You know that," Uncle Jake responded. Sabrina's mouth fell open. Why would Puck stay here because of her, she thought. However, she didn't go unnoticed. Uncle Jake and Granny Relda turned to Sabrina both looking surprised.
"How long have you been listening?" Uncle Jake asked nervously.
"Only the last couple of sentences," Sabrina responded, "Why are you leaving?"
"Because I have things to do," Uncle Jake said and turned away from her looking sad.
"Please don't go," Sabrina said, "It won't be the same with out you."
Uncle Jake turned to see Sabrina's crestfallen face. He tried to smile but it didn't turn out well. "Well maybe, I'll stick around a little longer," he said.
Sabrina smiled and started walking out the door, but turned around. "What did you mean that Puck stayed here because of me?" she asked them curiously.
Uncle Jake and Granny Relda looked at each other sharing knowing smile. Granny turned to her and smiled and said, "Oh nothing, liebling." Sabrina walked out of the kitchen puzzled and into the dining room. Everyone had already been seated. Sabrina plopped down next to her dad who was drinking his morning coffee. He smiled as she sat down, but look to tired to say more.
Granny Relda came out of the kitchen holding green waffles and set it down in the middle of the dining room. Like the morning before Daphne and Puck quickly grabbed as many waffles as possible and started eating them. Sabrina broke a waffle in half and shared it with Red who liked Granny's food as much as she did.
They left the house, and began walking to school. Red and Daphne were at the front busy talking about school work. Puck and Basil were walking just behind them. Basil looks up to Puck as a role model and always finds that whatever Puck does hilarious. That left Sabrina walking with Pinocchio.
"So are you liking school?" Sabrina asked him trying to start a conversation.
"Yes, very much," he replied, "What about you?"
"It's nice," Sabrina said, "I really like English and science." They kept walking in awkward silence. Sabrina felt like she should say something, but didn't know what. Finally not wanting to walk in the silence anymore she asked about the dance. "So did you here about the dance," she said causally.
"Yes," Pinocchio replied.
"Do you think you're going to ask someone?" Sabrina asked curiously.
Pinocchio paused and then replied, "Actually yes, I was thinking about asking Daphne."
Sabrina smiled knowing how happy her little sister would be if Pinocchio asked her. "You definitely should."
"Do you think she will say yes?" Pinocchio asked.
"Yes, definitely," Sabina replied trying to hide her smile.
"How do you know?" he asked, "Did she saw something to you?"
"Sort of," Sabrina replied not wanting to get into the conversations she had with Red this morning.
"Okay," he said, "I will." Sabrina noticed that his smile brightened and he had a little hop in his step. Sabrina smiled as they came to the primary school.
Basil quickly dashed up the steps and yelled back to them, "Bye guys." They continued until they got to the high school. They walked up the steps and into the building. Daphne, Red and Pinocchio walked away to their classes, leaving Puck and Sabrina by themselves in the noisy corridor.
They continued walking to their lockers when, they heard a voice, "Puck, Puck." They turned around to see a girl walking toward them. She had blond hair that had been curled, that fell to her shoulders. She was wearing tight jeans that looked three sizes to small and a pink crop top that had a very low neck line. She also had a ton of makeup on. It was Tiffany Davis. The girl that every girl wanted to be and every guy wanted to date.
She walked over to them and smiled at Puck. "Hi Puck," she said as twirled her hair. God she is annoying, Sabrina thought.
"Hi Tiffany," Puck replied, "Why are you here?"
Tiffany frowned for a second at Puck's attitude, but then immediately put back on the fake smile. "Oh, I just wanted to come a say hello," she said and moved closer to Puck.
"Okay," Puck said as he took a small step back from her.
"Have you heard about the dance?" Tiffany asked.
"Yeah," Puck said unenthusiastically.
"Have you asked anyone yet?" she asked. Sabrina's ears perked up wondering what Puck would say. Why do you care a voice asked in her head. I don't, Sabrina argued back. Yes you do, said the voice. Shut up, Sabrina replied.
"No," Puck said, "I haven't asked anyone."
Tiffany smiled at hearing this news. "Oh well, I'm open," she said twirling a lock of her hair around her fingers, "I already had to turn down so many people, but I guess I was just waiting for the right guy to ask me." Sabrina rolled her eyes. Wow, Sabrina thought sarcastically, she couldn't be more obvious if she held a sign that said: Ask me to the dance.
Unfortunately her eye roll did not go unnoticed. Tiffany turned to her and sneered. "What are you doing here loser," she asked her fake smile gone.
Before Sabrina could answer, Puck stepped in front of her. "She's my friend," he said. Sabrina couldn't help, but feel grateful for Puck, but at the same time she couldn't help thinking how he had called her just a friend. No stop it Sabrina, she scolded herself, Puck will only ever be a friend and nothing more.
Tiffany looked one more time between the two of them and plastered a fake grin on her face. "Anyway, bye Puck," she said and wiggled her fingers at him. She then turned to Sabrina and glared at her before walking away.
"Thanks," Sabrina said quietly as they made there way to their lockers.
"Any time," Puck said. He then turned to Sabrina and smiled at her before walking away to join up with his basketball friends. Sabrina stood there and bit her lip not letting a smile show. She couldn't help but have butterflies in her stomach as she stared at the spot where Puck had stood.
¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬Time Skip ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
The rest of the morning had gone like the day before. Sabrina went to her classes and sat next to Puck. The teachers drowned on and on about the various subjects and Sabrina had trouble staying awake. Finally lunch arrived. She walked into the cafeteria and plopped down next to Meredith.
"You like you had a hard day," she observed.
"Yeah class was hard," Sabrina replied and then without thinking said, "And this morning Puck put a spider in my bed and I completely freaked out."
Sabrina looked up to see all her friends staring at her. Sabrina mentally faced pawned. Non of her friends, except Bella, knew that Puck lived with her. Yesterday when she had come back after dragging Puck out of the cafeteria, they had asked her non-stop about how she knew Puck. Sabrina had refused to answer.
"Sabrina," Alex asked slowly, "Why was Puck in your house?"
Sabrina signed. The truth was going to come out eventually, she thought. "Puck lives with me and my family," she said.
"What," Emma said.
"Why didn't you mention that he lives with you?" Olive asked.
"I don't know," Sabrina said and shrugged, "I guess I didn't want the whole school knowing that I lived with Puck."
"How long have you lived with him?" Meredith asked.
"Well my Granny Relda invited him to live with us when I was eleven, and then later when I was twelve he left with my Uncle Jake and know he's back," Sabrina said to the girls.
"Why did he leave for so long?" Olive asked.
Sabrina shifted in her seat, she couldn't tell them that Puck went to go hunt down magical objects. "He wanted to tour the world, so Uncle Jake brought him along and homeschooled him," Sabrina lied hoping the girls would fall for it.
"Why doesn't he live with his parents?" Alex asked.
"His father is dead," Sabrina replied, "And he umm… doesn't get along with his mother."
"Oh," Alex said.
Sabrina looked at her wrist, pretending that she was wearing a watch. "Oh look at the time, I better get going," she said quickly. She grabbed her lunch and quickly walked out of the cafeteria before the girls could ask anymore questions.
She kept walking, not really caring where she was going, until finally she stopped. That was a close one, she thought. She leaned against some lockers, and cached her breath.
"Hey Sabrina," a voice said. Sabrina turned to the voice to see James Anderson walking toward her. James was one of the most popular guys in school, and was on the basketball team with Puck. Puck has a lot more muscle then he does, Sabrina thought. Then immediately regretted thinking about him.
"Hey James," Sabrina replied.
"Are you okay?" he asked as he started walking toward her.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Sabrina lied and smiled. James was now standing so close to her she could count his freckles. She started feeling uncomfortable and slowly started backing away. James however, started following her.
"So have you heard about this dance?" he asked her. Why did he have to bring up the dance, Sabrina thought.
"Of course," Sabrina replied, "It's all anyone can talk about now." She smiled but deep down she was wishing he would go away.
"So are you going with anyone?" James asked casually.
"No," Sabrina replied. Where is he going with this, Sabrina thought.
"Hey would like to go with me?" he asked. He stepped in front of Sabrina so she couldn't move.
"Oh well, I'd love to," Sabrina began, "But I'm not sure, I don't really want to go to the dance. So thanks, but no thanks." She said and then turned around to escape him.
James grabbed her arm, and forced her to look back at him. "Why don't you want to go to the dance with me?" he said his smile now gone.
"I just don't want to go to the dance," Sabrina said and pulled her arm free and quickly walked down the hall the other way. James grabbed her arm and pulled her to the lockers. He grabbed both her arms and held them against the lockers, preventing her from escaping.
"You know a lot of girls would love to go to the dance with me," he said, his hands fighting around her arms.
"What are you doing?" she asked and squirmed trying to break free of his hold, "Let me go."
"If that is what you wish, then I'll do it," he said with a grin, "All you have to do is give a kiss in payment."
"No let me go!" Sabrina screamed hoping someone would come down the hallway and come and help her, but no-one came, she was trapped. She continued to squirm and scream for help as James slowly bent forward for the kiss.
Suddenly James was jerked back from her, and Sabrina fell to the floor. Someone had grabbed him off of her. Sabrina turned to the person who saved her to see Puck glaring at James. "Who the hell do you think you are?" Puck growled at him, "Go away now before, I do anything more."
James quickly scrambled from his position on the floor and ran down the hall. Puck glared at him until he was gone and then turned to Sabrina. He gently helped her up. Sabrina was trembling slightly from what had just happened.
"Are you okay?" he asked. Sabrina noted that he still had his arms around her, but she didn't pull away.
"Yeah, I think so," she said, but she was still trembling.
"What happened?" he asked. Sabrina looked at Puck and noticed that his green eyes were full of concern. Sabrina couldn't help, but get butterflies as she looked up at him.
"He asked me to the dance and I rejected him," Sabrina began, "He got mad and held my arms against the locker. I was telling him to let me go, but he didn't listen and… and…" Sabrina couldn't help it she started crying.
"Hey, hey, hey," Puck said, "It's okay." He pulled her into a hug and she cried into his shoulder.
When she had stopped crying a couple minutes after. Puck gently pulled Sabrina away. "Are you sure okay?" he asked.
'Yes," Sabrina replied, "I'm better now." She reached up and dried her face with her sleeve. Puck took one last look at her, and then slowly let go. He stared into her eyes, and she stared back. She suddenly had a huge urge to kiss him. She leaned forward and so did he, and then their lips locked and she was kissing him.
He grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to him. She put her hands around his neck. As he kissed her, he pushed her against the lockers. She put her legs around his waist so that she was no longer touching the ground. They continued kissing until someone spoke.
"So this is what you have been doing?" the voice said. Sabrina and Puck let go of each other to see Bella, Alex and two of the boys of the basketball team with Puck. The person that had spoken was Bella. The rest of the group was standing there with their mouths open. Sabrina realized that she still had her legs wrapped around Puck and she slowly put them down. He let go of her waist and she removed her hands from his neck. They stood next to each other both blushing.
"We came looking for you after you left," Alex started, "And we bumped into Will and Luke." She then pointed to to the two boys that were walking with them.
"Yeah, you just left the cafeteria hurriedly, so we came to see if you were alright," Will said.
"Clearly your more then alright," Luke said as he looked at Sabrina. Sabrina blushed and glanced done.
"Look it's not what you're thinking," Puck said, "She was umm… upset and I just came to see if she was alright." Alex, Bella, Will and Luke all looked like they were fighting down laughs. Soon they lost battle and were all laughing hard.
Sabrina frowned and glanced at Puck. She saw that he was trying to hide a smile but couldn't. He started laughing like the rest of them and soon Sabrina couldn't help her self but join. The group of six was practically on the floor from laughing when they stopped.
Finally Bella broke the silence, "So what were you guys doing?"
"Oh I think we know what they were doing," Luke said, "The question is why?"
Sabrina looked at Puck expecting him to say something. Puck looked at Sabrina with the same expression. Sabrina finally answered, "I'm not sure what just happened," she admitted, "But would you guys mind not telling anyone else."
"Yeah," Puck agreed, "In a small school like this word travels around fast." Everyone agreed not tell anybody. The group stood in silence for a minute and then the bell went. They all hurried to their classes, pretending that it never happened. Although Puck and Sabrina had pretended it was nothing, Sabrina couldn't help but wonder if it was something.
