Chapter 3

The bell was about to ring to signal class was over when Ms. Lancaster suddenly said, "I believe we should have at least twenty grades in from each of you by the time the school year if half-way over." The whole class groaned. History obviously was not going to be easy this year. "So," she continued, "I will be expecting a report written by you and a partner of your choice on one interesting aspect of Ferryport Landing's history."

At that, the bell rang and before anyone exited the room, everyone seemed to be looking for a partner. Sabrina thought it was hilarious that most of the girls were heading towards Puck, probably also looking at him with the same view as Nicole. Although Sabrina didn't notice it, Nick was walking towards her at the end of class when Puck grabbed her by the wrist and said, "Let's get out of here."

Sabrina stopped at her locker to put her things away and noticed that Puck hadn't moved over to his locker and was leaning on the locker next to her, staring at her. Sabrina shifted uncomfortably. "Uh, may I help you?"

"Who was that guy?"

"What guy?"

"That Nick guy."

"Oh, him." Sabrina smiled to herself at the thought of him. "He's a new friend."

"How do you know he couldn't be helping the Scarlet Hand? You just met him."

"Puck, everyone in this school could be part of the Scarlet Hand, but of all the people I would suspect, he would be last on my list."

Puck's face turned red at hearing Sabrina talk highly of this guy. Seeing Nick walking toward where they were standing from the corner of his eye, he suddenly said, "Look, Grimm. I'm not into this whole school thing."

Sabrina laughed. "Shocker."

Puck continued, "And I need a partner who can do this project thing and I'm too lazy to fly over to someone else's house to work on it." Sabrina cocked an eyebrow at him. "So I was thinking we should be partners," he finished.

Just then, Nick walked over. "Hey, Sabrina. Do you want to be partners for the report?"

Sabrina felt kind of overwhelmed by the two boys asking her to be their partner, but Puck answered for her. "Sorry, she's with me," he said smugly heading over to his locker. He didn't seem too sorry to Sabrina.

Nick looked disappointed and shrugged. "Oh, well. But promise me we're partners for the next project."

Sabrina smiled at him, just as disappointed as he was. "I promise."

Nick recovered and asked, "What do you have next period?"

Sabrina looked at her schedule that she had pinned up in her locker. "Um... I have gym next."

Nick grinned. "Same here. Do you want to walk over there together?"

"Well, I'm not quite done here. How about I just meet you over there?"

"That's cool. See you then."

Sabrina finished at her locker and started walking toward the gym when Puck caught up with her. He had a mischievous grin on his face as he said, "Looks like we have gym together again, Grimm. I hope we're playing dodge ball."

Sabrina frowned remembering the last time she had gym with the fairy. It had resulted in a fat lip. She tried to change the subject. "So, have you and Nicole met before?" She grinned remembering how Nicole swooned over Puck. "She's in our gym class too."

Puck looked confused for a second. "Who?... Oh, that girl. No."

Sabrina grinned even more. "She seemed to be very interested in you."

Puck's confused expression came back. "Huh?"

Sabrina laughed as they approached the gym and saw Nick leaning on the wall by the doors. She ran ahead with Puck lagging behind.

Nick's face lit up when he saw her. He suddenly sat up and said, "Hey."

"Hey," Sabrina replied. Nick opened the door for her as they entered the gym (which was also pink). Everyone was sitting around in their cliques, but all the guys seemed to hang out together. Sabrina was worried for a second that Nick might leave her to stand by herself, but he just leaned on a wall next to her.

As she was talking with Nick, Sabrina noticed some of the guys from the group across the room were glancing up at her, but not in a hostile way. Almost kind of friendly. She tried not to notice.

Nick suddenly laughed. Sabrina looked at him. "What?"

Nick grinned at her. "It's kind of funny to watch those girls flirt with Puck."

Sabrina looked over at Puck and found herself laughing along with Nick. At least five or ten girls were clustered around Puck, who was struggling to get away from them. She stopped when she heard someone walking towards her. She turned and saw that one of the guys from the group across the room was coming over.

Nick smiled at the guy. "Hey, Chris."

Chris smiled back. "Hey." Then he turned to Sabrina who was nervous over the fact of meeting a boy almost as cute as Nick. "I'm Chris."

Sabrina smiled nervously back. "I'm Sabrina."

"I know," he said playfully.

Were they trained to say that? Sabrina thought.

"Anyway, I hate to be nosy but is it true that you battled a Jabberwocky?"

"Well, yeah, but I used a wand."

Chris smiled like a little kid. "That is so cool." They continued talking for a few minutes until Chris went back to the cluster of guys.

Sabrina looked up at Nick. "He's an Everafter, right?"

Nick nodded. "His dad is one of the Knights of the Round Table. You should see him sword fight. He's awesome. His dad is actually our gym coach."

"Seriously?"

Before Nick could answer, a muscular man walked out of a door marked 'GYM OFFICE' and to the middle of the floor. "SILENCE!" he bellowed. Everyone suddenly quieted. He continued, "I am your gym coach, Coach Lucan. Today we will learn skills that may or may not be essential to living your life, but you will do as I tell you or do as the principal tells you in detention! Is that clear?"

Everyone nodded. Sabrina almost wanted to laugh at the terrified expressions on some of the students' faces.

The coach continued, "OK, then. I want all of you to go to the back room, choose a sword, and come back here with a partner."

Sabrina looked at Nick with a confused expression, but he just shrugged. None of the girls seemed too thrilled to be handling swords, but the guys were ecstatic and rushed to the front of the line to get their weapons. Once everyone was back in the gym, partners were chosen. Sabrina quickly paired up with Nick, fearing what Puck would do to her if they were paired together.

Once everyone was paired, Coach Lucan continued, "I want you to warm up with your partner by sparring and disarming. NO CONTACT IS TO BE MADE WITH THE SWORD'S BLADE! We are just warming up!"

Sabrina became nervous looking at Nick in his stance. He seemed to really know what he was doing. Sabrina had handled a sword on several occasions, but still was not very confident. She had killed a giant with a sword once, but that had only happened because she had Excalibur in her possession. Charming had decided to give her a few training sessions after seeing how well she would be sword fighting in the future. She wasn't horrible, but she wasn't bursting with confidence either.

Nick looked up. "Ready?" he asked.

"No, but let's get this over with."

Nick lunged at her and she blocked. Then she did something Charming had taught her. She put her blade under his and twisted, easily disarming him and catching his sword with nimble fingers. Nick looked at her. "Wow," he said.

Sabrina blushed. "Let's try again. Beginner's luck."

Nick grinned. "Sure." This time he gave it his all. He was lightning fast and hard to keep up with. Sabrina had to think ahead and act quickly to avoid being disarmed. After about two minutes, Nick was again swordless. Chris was with his partner next to the pair and occasionally glanced up at the match that was going on. After five more matches with the same results, Chris walked over to Nick.

"You wanna switch partners for a while?"

Nick shrugged but gave in. Sabrina once again became nervous. Nick had told her that Chris was really good and she didn't want to make a fool of herself.

He smiled at her. "Ready?"

Sabrina managed a nod.

Then they began. They lunged and twisted and did every move imaginable trying to disarm each other. They had been going at it for seven whole minutes and Sabrina was getting tired. She was about to give in when she spotted more than a dozen guys watching including Puck out of the corner of her eye. She was not going to look like a wimp in front of Puck. That would give him yet another reason to tease her. She refused to embarass herself. She lunged one last time and successfully disarmed Chris. Everyone stared at her in awe.

Chris stuttered and then managed a real intelligent "Wow."

Sabrina laughed. "I've been told." She was finally beginning to feel some of the confidence that she had been missing.

Coach Lucan suddenly came over saying, "Alright, everyone. Back to your partners, don't dilly-dally!" Then he turned to Sabrina. "You have a natural talent that you should not take for granted."

Sabrina smiled half-heartedly at him. "Thanks."

Before walking off he said, "Feel free to come by the gym to practice any time."

The rest of gym passed pretty quickly as did the rest of the day. The guys gave Sabrina admiring looks during classes and in the halls which made her feel a bit uncomfortable. Nicole continued to flirt with Puck to the point where he had to spend his time between classes hiding in the boys' bathroom.

After the final bell rang, Sabrina, Puck, and Daphne all met at the bike rack as planned. Daphne wasn't at the point of tears, but she did seem a little down. Sabrina gave her a smile. "How was your day?" she asked.

Daphne gave her a little smile back. "It was OK. I made some new friends and my teacher is nice, but it's not the same without Ms. White." She sighed.

Sabrina patted her on the back. "That's OK. We're probably going to visit Ms. White and the rest of the runaways in a few weeks."

The little girl brightened. "That would be nice."

Just then, Chris, Nick, and a couple of other guys walked over. Nick smiled that smile that made Sabrina want to melt. "Hey, Sabrina."

Sabrina grinned back. "Hey. What's up?"

Chris stepped forward. "We were actually planning on staying after school tomorrow to practice in the gym. You wanna come?"

Sabrina swelled with happiness. "Sure. Is anyone else coming?"

"We might get a few more guys to come with us."

"Cool. I'll be there."

"Cool," he said with a wink. "See you tomorrow."

Sabrina beamed. "See you then."

Sabrina wasn't the only one beaming. Daphne nudged her and said, "So I see you made some new friends today." She winked playfully.

"Yeah, we met in gym."

"Just curious, but did you make any female friends?"

Sabrina blushed and shuffled her feet. "Well, no..." she said quietly.

Daphne laughed and Puck turned an unhealthy shade of scarlet. "Let's just go," he said grumpily. He grabbed their hands forcefully and began flying home.
