Dedicated to...Ashka Silver
I love this Fan Fiction! I'm more of a Meague shipper, but Jarina is close enough right? Anyways i really do like this FanFic and it would be awesome if you continued it.
Haha ashka if it wasn't for this review I probably wouldn't have posted this. I've had a lot of the chapters written up, just haven't had time to post them. I wasn't sure if I should have with the series ending in all. So thank you:)
*A/N will be at the bottom.
Once Mina and Nix had picked up Charlie, they went back to Mina's to make dinner. While Mina was preparing the Mac&Cheese, while Charlie and Nix were setting up the table. Mina stirred it quietly, thinking about the days events.
"So you'll never guess what happened to me today."
"I think I'd rather know why you ran off today." Nix laughed helping charlie set the table.
"Thats what I was going to tell you."
"Well then OH MY GAWD! Spill girlfriend!" Nix said in a tone of a sassy gay man. Mina laughed, and stared at the Mac and cheese she was making. "I saw Jared..."
Nix almost dropped the plates in his hands. "What?"
"Well I at least think I did..."
Mina began to tell Nix and Charlie what happened, by the end of the tale, Charlie flung his hand to his mouth, in a manner that conveyed "No freaking way!" Nix echoed Charlie's reaction only verbally. "Is that even possible?"
"Apparently so..."
"What if this is a trick?"
Mina shook her head, "I was thinking about that. And that's not even half of what happened."
Nix's eyes widen he leaned in close to her, "Alright pretty lady spill! Tell me everything." Mina laughed. "Your such a girl!"
"What? I like gossip. I can't like gossip?"
Mina laughed. She quickly told him about the book and the trunk.
"Shut up! Thats so COOL!" Nix exclaimed. Mina laughed. "So now its your turn."
"My turn? To do what?"
"Tell me everything you know," she said narrowing her eyes and whispering dramatically.
Nix shrugged, "I don't know much."
"Well what do you know?"
Nix sat down at the table. "Charlie I expect you to eat everything on that plate." Charlie made a look of disdain. Nix chuckled, receiving a kick in the knee from Charlie.
"Hey!" Nick gawked.
"Boys..." Mina warned. They both looked down at their plates, Nix cleared his throat. "Well the best I could give you honestly is that I don't know if there truly was a Daniel."
Mina sat back in the chair, "I heard once that the royals once took in a peasant boy years ago. And I mean years ago. Like before the curse, before your great great grandfathers, before Jared and Teague were split in half. This was when Jared was a kid. I don't even know if its true or not, it may be just a story. But if I remember correctly, the royals took a homeless peasant boy in as the Prince's servant, but the two became such good friends the family practically adopted him."
"That's it?"
"Yeah that's it. That's all I know."
"What about why he was split in two? Or why he was in cursed to help the Grimm's?"
Nix shrugged. "I dont know. I guess you'll have to meet Daniel to find that out."
Mina sighed loudly, "Why don't you ask Ever..."
"What?" Nix asked defensively.
"You saw the way she was treating me the other day! She HATES me!"
Nix shrugged, "it was just an idea. I mean I figure she would be the best person to ask."
He was right and she knew it, just how would she get Ever to talk to her?
The next day at school was interesting, Mina had been waiting for a "sign" of Daniel. She knew that time worked differently in the fae plane. So she didn't know when he would get here or where...
At the moment Mina was currently in Physics class. Her teacher had just given them an assignment, a group project. They would have to construct a egg canopy. Basically they would have to construct something that would protect a raw egg from being cracked when it was dropped from one of the outside stadium bleachers. She was sitting there looking over the worksheet, when she heard a masculine voice clear his throat. Mina looked up to see Jeremy looking down at her.
"Hey Mina? I was wondering...wanna be my partner?"
Mina just stared at him. This was completely bizarre.
"I'm sorry it's just my usual partner isn't here. And we have to get partners today. And I don't know anyone else really in this class..." He rushed. He didn't want to bother the girl, nor did he want her think he was a freak. But he seriously didn't know who else to ask.
"Um yeah sure." She laughed nervously. "I'm sorry it's just I'm not used to being asked to being someone's partner." Jeremy laughed in relief, Mina motioned him to sit down in front of the lab table. He pulled up a chair and sat down.
"It's ok. I figured it might be weird since I only know you from Nix." He explained, Mina nodded.
"Bailey. Who's your partner?" Their teacher called going alphabetical.
"Mina sir." Their teacher nodded, and continued on going down the class roster.
"Ok," Jeremy said looking over the rubric, "how do we want to do this?"
Mina shrugged, "not sure. We're given guidelines and specifics on what we can and can not do. 24 straws...3 pieces of paper. One styrofoam cup..."
"Ah yes but it doesn't say what kind of straws we can use." Jeremy waggled his eyebrows, laughed.
Mina smiled, "no, no it doesn't."
For the rest of class they planned out what they would do for the project, discussing ideas and designs, and about themselves. They were so wrapt up in their conversation that when the bell rang they jumped in their seats.
"Wow. I can't believe class is over," he laughed. Mina smiled, "yeah."
"No I'm serious, I swear I feel like this class will never end some days." Mina laughed even harder, Jeremy smiled, as he waited for her to gather her stuff together. They walked out of class together.
"So I was thinking, we don't have that many days to work on this in class. I don't know what you're doing, but maybe we can get together and work on it outside of class?"
Mina nodded, holding her binder and notebooks, and the grimoire close to her chest. "Yeah, no that sounds like a good idea."
He smiled at her, "ok so now we just have to figure out when..."
"Maybe you can come over after practice or whatever. Nix lives with me. If you could give him a ride home from practice, we can work on the project at my place. Only if you want to though. I don't want to be a pain..."
"No that sounds perfect. And that will actually work out great. I have practice today. So maybe we can do that today?"
"Sounds good to me." She smiled. Jeremy grinned, "ok cool. See you later Mina."
Mina smiled in-spite of herself, she watched him walk down the hallway. He was fairly attractive...but Mina felt like bitch for thinking that. What's wrong with me? A guy dies for you, and you then a week later, find some guy in your physics class attractive?
Is that wrong? Recognizing someone else is attractive? She bit her lip walking to her locker thinking about this when she saw Nix and Nan talking near her locker. As she walked up she only caught a small bit of their conversation...
"Love is something incredible! You would die for that person, it goes beyond loyalty..." Nix argued.
"I know the difference between Like and Love! For example, I LIKE my sketchers but I LOVE my new Prada bag." Nan gushed..
Nix stared at her blankly... Nan turned around and excused herself because a teacher was calling her name. He looked at Mina flabbergasted.
Mina stood there leaning against the wall, a smirk on her face. "Meet Nan, one of the most popular girls here at Kennedy High School!" Mina said stiffly.
"I can see why the story chose her." Mina gave him a questioning look. As Nan came racing back over, "so what were we saying? Have I changed your mind?" She asked in a flirty manner.
"No." He said flatly.
"Oh well...umm what were you guys talking about?" She asked nervously.
Nick stared back at her. "Oh just that you remind me of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty, like you they were beautiful, and oh so deep..." He said.
Mina tried to keep herself from laughing. "Awww thanks Nick!" She gushed, not getting what he actually meant. "Well I have to run to class! Talk you guys later!"
Mina watched Nan walk off, "what's up with that?"
Nix sighed, "Mr. Morgan gave us this assignment to translate this sonnet written by Shakespeare in our own words. Nan doesn't understand it, so I was trying to help her. And well..." He threw his hands in the air.
Mina laughed, "some people just don't get Shakespeare Nix."
"Yeah I guess." They walked down the hallway heading to 4th period. "So hey, gotta a question for you."
Nix eyed her from the side. "Ok.."
So Jeremy asked me to be his physics partner for a project. Are you ok with that?"
Nix started laughing. "Yeah. Why would I have an issue with that Mina?"
"Well because," she laughed, "we made a little arrangement."
"Ok."
"Jeremy will drive you home from practice back to our place, and we can work on the project there. Is that ok?"
"Yeah sure that's fine." Nix said.
"Ok then! That's going to start today by the way."
Nick rolled his eyes, "what!?"
"Eager are we?" He waggled his eyebrows.
"No!-" Mina scowled. "Just want to get this done alright?" Sounding more like a question than a statement.
Nick laughed, "alright."
Mina nodded and they continued down the hallway.
AN: Where to begin? To all of y'all I'm so sorry, I've had to deal with some major life changes here. (1 wedding, 3 funerals, fatal illness, moving across the country, getting a new job and quitting my old one. Be a mentor and a baby sitter, and so much more. I wasn't sure if I should continue this, considering how the series ended. That ending though! O_O ? Forever sent me into confusion and feels. Regardless I've been bad. And if it wasn't for a certain review that I got while all this was happening, I wouldn't have probably update this story. Thank you. I hope you all are having a wonderful summer or winter depending on where you are. I've had this, just haven't posted it. Thank you Camilla, Leah, CeCe, and my Fluffy for making me laugh and lending support.
