Chapter 2
I woke up to the sun shining through the window. It was too early to be up; the old lady would want me to shower. Ugh, why can't I be dirty in peace! Then I realized I was in Sabri- I mean Grimm's room. The events of the previous night came flooding back to me. It was then that I saw she was in my arms. Had I really fallen asleep holding her? I was blushing at the thought; I knew I was, I'm just glad no one saw it. I looked down at Sabrina. Why I don't think of her as Grimm all the time confuses me, but I think it has something to do with this puberty virus that she infected me with.
She looked so calm in her sleep even more beautiful somehow. Wait did I really just think that? The virus must be getting worse. Isn't my life bad enough as it is? By this point I had untangled myself from Grimm blushing again at being with her all night. She was stirring, I really should leave I thought as I allowed myself one last glance at her sleeping form. Her hair was long and blonde, her skin fair, and her features delicate, although the girl behind the face was anything but. I really must be sick I thought running my fingers through my hair. I had turned to open the door when I heard her voice. Crap, I've been caught.
"Puck? What did you do this time! Don't you give me that look, I know you did something!"
Why have I always done something wrong? Once a villain, always a villain I guess. "Calm down Sabrina! I was here last night remember? You were telling me about your dream. You fell asleep and I guess I did too. There is no prank of any kind. Okay." From her reaction I think I may have scared her a bit, "Sorry, I'm just tired of being blamed for things I didn't do."
"It's okay. I believe you, and I'm sorry for accusing you. Wait, you didn't call me Grimm."
I blushed slightly and looked at the floor. I'm such an idiot sometimes. I feel like my response to this was slightly, well you know, it was embarrassing. I said several very intelligent words like umm, err, uh, and then another umm then left her room and flew down the hall as fast as I could to my room. As soon as the door was closed I called to my chimps.
"If anyone tries to get in to my room take them prisoner and deliver them to me. If anyone brings food take it and slam the door in their face and bring me the food. Those are your orders. I will be on my trampoline." Most people would feel stupid talking to chimps, but they listen to me, they're my personal army. I stomped to my trampoline through the forest that is my room. I can't believe I embarrassed myself in front of Sabrina that way. I normally would have handled that much better. Right now is about the time most people would have flashbacks of the times that I was a lot smoother than I just was, but for the life of me I can't think of any. I hope someone brings food soon, I'm getting hungry.
Marshmallow brought me food a few times and begged me to come out, but I refused each time. When she brought me dinner she reminded me we had school tomorrow. I had forgotten. This meant I had to come out. It also meant I would have to face Sabrina. The few days we had gotten off over Thanksgiving had been good, but it would be good to see my buds again. I could hang out with them and avoid Grimm. Prefect. I fell asleep dreading tomorrow slightly less.
The next day I got up, showered (I know it's terrible but the old lady makes me on school days), and got dressed. I was wearing jeans, my black Chuck Taylors, and a red t – shirt (I grew out of my hoodie and the old lady won't get me a new one). I was hungry by this point, so I went to the kitchen to eat whatever the old lady had whipped up. It was blue pancakes with pink syrup. I ate like 10. After that I started walking to school with the Marshmallow beside me and Grimm a few steps behind with Red.
When we got to the school I saw my friends Brad and Seth and headed in their direction. Both knew about everafters. Brad was one of Charming's sons, but was infinitely more likeable than his father. Seth had caught me with my wings out and Brad and I had to tell Seth the truth. They were deep in discussion when I got there. They were debating who to ask to the upcoming school dance. They sounded like girls, but I decided not to say that. "What's so important about this stupid dance anyways?" I had caught them off guard.
"It's only the biggest dance of the year! Well for us freshmen it is." It was in times like this that you knew Brad was Charming's son. "If you don't have a date, or if you just don't go, you're going to be branded as a loser for the rest of high school. And if you are popular like us going with a good date is the only option." He was definitely Charming's son. Of course I was just a modest as he was, but what he said was true, the three of us were pretty popular. I just couldn't deny it. "So who are you going with Robin?" It was my school name, but that wasn't what had caught me off guard. Who would I go with? I had to go after what Brad had said, I wasn't a loser.
"I think I know who he should go with." This was Seth now. I knew what he would say. He and Brad were quite certain I had a crush on Sabrina. Eww. At times though, I thought that just maybe... they were right. I couldn't come up with any other explanation for my feelings for her.
"I think I know too," Brad now.
"Let me guess you guys think I should go with…"
"Sabrina," they both said it at the same time.
I laughed,"Her! Why would I want to go to the Christmas Dance, the biggest dance of the year, with ugly old Grimm?"
"'Cause you have the biggest crush ever on her," I hate how they can tell that. There's no point denying it now. I couldn't ask her to the dance though; she'd laugh in my face.
"Fine, I might like her a bit, but..."
"You like her more than a bit dude."
"Okay, I may like her more than a bit, but if I ask her she'd laugh in my face."
Brad looked like he would laugh but didn't. Instead he sighed and said, "First of all, she won't laugh in your face. Second, man up and ask the girl of your dreams to the dance. Third, if you fail to ask her by the end of the day, Seth and I will have a horrible punishment for you. And fourth, everyone thinks you two are already dating."
I would have been upset, but I knew they were right. I also knew they would go through with the punishment and that it would be worse than horrible. So he muttered, "Fine," earning smiles from both Brad and Seth as the first bell rang.
I walked to my first class, english, it was with Sabrina too. I couldn't do it though, not yet. I decided to wait for lunch. The day went by quietly. I had history with Seth before lunch. "Did you do it yet?" were the first words out of his mouth as he sat down next to me. "Lunch," I whispered as the teacher started to talk. He smiled and pointed at his watch. The meaning was clear, my time was running out.
I saw her as soon as I walked in the lunchroom. She was sitting with a group of her friends. They were all pretty, but Sabrina stuck out, catching more eyes than any of the others. She looked really nice today. She had on black skinny jeans, and a baby blue long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up. Her hair was in a ponytail. It was a simple look, but simple looked good on her. Suddenly Seth stepped in front of my view. "I'm going," I told him.
"Good, could you tell Anna I want to ask her something." It wasn't a question, but I agreed all the same. Seth had been crushing on Anna since 8th grade, but had pretty much been friend zoned. I had a feeling he aimed to change that at the dance. I walked slowly with all the confidence I could, which wasn't much.
"Hey, Ladies," they all giggled, well Sabrina was trying not to, but she was still smiling. "Anna, Seth has something he wanted to ask you, I think he's over there." I nodded in his direction. They all giggled again as Anna got up.
"Thanks, Robin," with that she walked over to Seth.
"Sabrina, could I talk to you?" I asked nervously. She nodded and got up; I could hear more giggles even as we walked away, into the empty hallway. There wasn't a sole to be seen; lunch was a big deal at Ferryport High.
"What did you want to talk about?" she asked.
"Well, I have to ask you something, because if I don't Brad and Seth will do something bad to me," I said that in the space of four seconds.
She looked confused; it must be the punishment part, "What was it you wanted to ask me?"
"Oh right," I took a deep breath, "Will you go to the Christmas Dance with me?"
Hope you enjoyed! Please review! Chapter 3 is coming soon.
