This is quite a bit longer than my other two chapters and most of the good parts happen at the end, so you'll have to deal with me for now. I know what will eventually happen, but I'm making most of this up as I go so go easy on me if a few more chapters suck. I'm used to having a friend who helps me edit the quality of my stories but she never read Sisters Grimm so she's no use. Also, I realized i haven't added a friggin disclaimer! I DO NOT OWN THE SISTERS GRIMM. Agh. Enjoy this chapter:
S POV
I came home from school fully agitated. How dare he!? Teasing me all through school like that! But I had enough on her mind already. I was getting older, and as much as I loved Daphne, I could not live in the same room as her. The snoring, the constant need to play with my hair, and the mess that always filled the room was becoming unbearable, and I planned to do something about it.
Sighing, I pushed loose strands of hair away from my face. Just one hundred-seventy-nine days of pure torture left I reminded myself as I plopped on my blue, twin sized bed. Then summer, I thought, smiling at the freedom that I had just left behind. But of course, I always had been a pessimist, and a new thought crossed my mind: And then high school.
It was dinner, and as usual, Granny Relda had another um...interesting...dish laid out. It was pink, with specks of green (which actually looked like parsley) and seemed to just me lumps of gelatin. I tried as hard as I could to stop myself from gagging, and with tremendous effort, succeeded. Mr Canis was already seated, but he was silent. I knew to leave him alone when he was like this. He like to left alone a lot more lately. It was when I looked at Red's seat that I remembered that she was on an extended vacation with Uncle Jake. Something about investigating her family.
"Sabrina, I'm assuming you'd like something different?" Granny Relda asked understandingly. I nodded sheepishly. She was used to me being fairly picky about these things, and only gave in when she realized I would starve if I wasn't fed "normal things". She set down a plate of macaroni and cheese in front of me.
I smiled, "Thanks!". Granny relda gave a short chuckle.
"I prepared the same thing for your father. He doesn't much care for my 'exotic' food either. But I suppose to each its own!" she explained. Not short after Daphne and puck came down to eat.
"What took you guys so long? You usually come running down the second you smell food…" I asked the pair. Puck looked at Daphne, obviously asking for an excuse. Puck was useless at acting innocent, but I knew that Daphne was not.
"Puck was just helping me with some homework. Dumb teacher, she said that it was easy...but she lied!" Daphne complained. I had to admit, it was a very convincing show, especially because though Puck was very bored by school, he was actually more than decent at math. But Fairyboy had given it away, and I knew the Queen of Sneaks would soon strike…
But before I could even start formulating a plan, or even touching my food for that matter, both Daphne and Puck were both scarfing down the pick chunks. Not soon after they started, both Mom and Dad came home. I rushed towards the front door to hug my parents. My mom had gotten a job as a lawyer and was constantly helping Everafters. My dad had gotten a job helping Snow White, who was Mayor, which included work on the barrier. Both were now extremely busy and I barely got to see them; so, I took every chance I had to spend time with them.
"Hey Mom! Hey Dad!" I said, smiling for once. They both smiled back.
"Hi Brina," my dad laughed, ruffling my hair. "Hey Mom!" he yelled to Granny Relda. Both my parents walked over to the dining table.
"Hey Daphne!" my mom said to my younger sister, though she was too preoccupied with eating. When all the greeting were finally given, and everyone was sat down, food was finally distributed. It was gone within a few minutes. As much my father and I hated the odder foods, Granny Relda was still a great cook and made a mean mac n' cheese. When we were finally done we headed to the living room. My mom figured we should all be spending more "family time" and because she was Veronica Grimm, nobody questioned her.
"So how was your first day of school guys?" my mom asked gently, smiling. Daphne was the first to answer.
"It was awesome! I wish Red had been there, but I already made a new friend! Well...friends. There was Rapunzel's daughter, Clarissa. Oooh and there was the Boy Who Cried Wolf…" Daphne rambled on listing her new friends. When she finally finished my mom looked at me, indicating that I had to speak.
"It was OK I guess...I mean, school is school. But for some reason," I now looked at Granny Relda, "Puck and I are still in all of the same classes". Now my dad was glaring at Granny Relda.
"Mom we talked about this! These kids need to be separated. When they get mad at each other, they could burn the school down!" my dad complained.
Granny Relda gave him a look, saying, "Oh really?". "We all know that isn't the reason you want them separated Henry," she stated. Puck, Dad, and I were all blushing now. Mom and Daphne were smiling. "Anyways, I still think that this is necessary!" she finished off. But I felt I couldn't leave this at rest.
"But I wish we had at least been told! We weren't just in the same classes! We ended up sitting next to each other in every class! I mean honestly, don't you guys trust us!?" I ranted.
Puck added on, "Yah! Ms. Violent over here threatened to crush me like a bug!"
I couldn't stand this! It was as if he was saying it was my fault! "You know perfectly well why I said that you Stinkbomb!" I yelled at Puck.
"It isn't my fault that you let a certain secret slip!" Puck retorted.
"Idiot!" I shouted.
"Bossy!" he yelled back.
"Smelly!"
"Annoying!"
"Stupid!"
"Overly violent!"
"Dumbass!"
We were both standing up now, eyes blaring at eachother, and I had just realized what I said in front of everyone. The room was filled with gasps at my foul language and "SABRINA"s. I was blushing over my already enraged face.
"S-s-sorry," I stuttered, trying to act innocent. "I didn't mean to say it, I swear", which was true, "I don't curse usually, honest!" which was very much not true. I knew Puck wouldn't rat me out because he cursed often enough to get in trouble too.
"I'll let you off with a warning.." my dad said to me.
"I think thats enough family time for the two of you. Why don't you go upstairs and think about how dumb your arguments have gotten lately. Puck, you haven't been pranking Sabrina lately. And Sabrina you haven't...well you haven't tried to kill Puck for a long time. I knew you would both blow up at some point but you need a break from each other," Mom said calmly. Both Puck and I nodded.
I headed up to my room tired. I knew that we shouldn't be fighting, but Puck deserved what he got! He was a no good bug with pink wings… I plopped back onto my bed. I was never going to get my own room.
So yah, chapter 3 everyone! Thank you to everyone who has reviewed! Though it isn't a lot of people it means so much to me! Now it has been brought to my attention that some people may find it a little weird that these thirteen year olds are cursing. I just wanted to say that this isn't unusual for me and I felt like both of these specific teenagers would be curing a lot so they still will be for anyone who finds that annoying. Ugh I feel like I wanted to say something else but I forget...Whatever! Thank you for reading, and please review! Hope my grammar is continuing to improve ^^
