I'm baaaack! And this time, I've got a new story! :D
So, this is my newest SG fanfic!
Now, before I begin, let me clarify a few things:
*In MY story, Puck and Sabrina have never met before. Ever. Puck isn't trapped in Ferryport Landing, and they've just never met.
*Sabrina does know about Everafters. Nothing has changed, except for the fact that she's never met Puck.
*The Everafter War is over. Veronica and Henry (Sabrina's parents), are alive and well. Sadly, the barrier around Ferryport Landing is still up, so all the Everafters in Ferryport Landing are still trapped there. (But that's not really important to the story.)
I want to thank yorkie999777000 for coming up with the title for this story. What would I do without you?
Disclaimer: I do not own The Sisters Grimm. I do own all of the soccer players, though.
~Chapter 1
Sabrina Grimm leaned her head against the car window, sighing deeply.
"You know, it's not too late to just drive back home and let me go back to my old school," Sabrina said with pleading eyes, turning her gaze to her mother.
Veronica Grimm locked eyes with her daughter for a moment, before turning back to the steering wheel. "You've already been accepted into this school, Sabrina. I don't see what the problem is."
Sabrina resisted the urge to roll her eyes. "This school will ruin my life. I don't wanna go to some private school with a bunch of rich brats! And I never thought I'd be saying this, but I'd rather be in Ferryport Landing than some snobby, stuck-up private school in New York."
"Well, maybe if you hadn't been expelled from school, this wouldn't have happened!" Veronica said angrily, clutching the steering wheel tightly.
"Okay, okay, I'm sorry," Sabrina said defensively. "You're right: this is my fault. I'm just not ready to lose friendships that I've worked so hard to make over the years."
Veronica's eyes softened. "You won't lose any of your friends from Ferryport Landing. If they're your real friends then they won't forget about you. Plus, you can always come home and visit them."
Her mother's words didn't cheer her up in the slightest, but she couldn't blame the woman. No one could make Sabrina's mood any brighter at this point.
"Mom, I'm going to a boarding school. I only come home to visit during holidays."
Sabrina's response was met with silence. There was nothing else to be said.
Sabrina was miserable. She had been forced to wake up at 4 that morning in order to have enough time to drive to her new school. Saying goodbye to her family and friends had been the hardest part. She nearly broke down crying at one point, but had managed to quell her tears before anyone noticed. There was no one to blame except for herself when it came to her expulsion from the Ferryport Landing high school she had been attending. Sabrina was known for having an attitude problem, and she had let that control her many times, usually resulting in a fist fight with someone. After three of these disturbances, she had been permanently banned from the school.
"You're very lucky that this school accepted you in," Veronica said, breaking the silence.
"I don't even know why they accepted me," Sabrina mumbled. "Do they know that I got expelled from my school for fighting some kids?"
"Yes, but they were willing to look past that. It's a good thing that you get good grades. That's the only reason you got into the school, kid. That scholarship they gave you definitely helped in filling out your tuition." Veronica said. "I'm very proud of you though. But if you get into anymore fights, God so help me Sabrina-"
The blonde couldn't help but crack a smile. "Mom, I won't."
"You better not," Veronica warned.
"Will there be any Everafters at this school?" Sabrina asked curiously.
Veronica shrugged. "Maybe a few."
After a few more minutes of driving, the car finally stopped.
Sabrina immediately jumped out of the car, glad to be finally standing again after two long hours. Like she had expected, the school standing before her looked more like a castle than any sort of learning facility. There were four separate parts to the school, each connected by a brick path. Acres of grass covered the landscape seemingly for miles. A few students could be seen, dressed fully in the proper school uniform and headed dutifully off to class. The school grounds were mostly empty since it was still early. The fancy sign directly in front of the main wing of the school was hard to miss: Brooklyn Heights, it read.
This is it, Sabrina thought. I am officially a student at Brooklyn Heights: a private boarding school for the rich and snobby.
She stretched for a minute before heading to the trunk of the car and grabbing her giant suitcase.
"Do you want me to come inside with you?" Veronica asked.
"Nah, I think I'll be ok."
"Are you sure?"
Sabrina couldn't help but smile at her worried mother. "Yes, Mom. I'm positive. I have a map of the school, so I'm pretty sure I know how to get around this place. I have to go to the principal's office first, next my dorm room, and finally I go to my classes. I'll be fine, trust me."
Veronica looked hesitant. "Well, ok. Call me as soon as class ends for the day and you're back in your dorm. And don't forget to put on your school uniform when you get to your room."
Sabrina looked down at herself, perfectly fine with showing up to school on her first day in her sweatpants and t-shirt. But instead, she would be forced to wear a pleated, khaki skirt, white button down shirt, maroon sweater vest, and grey and maroon striped tie. The only good part was that she could wear whatever shoes she wanted.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye, then." Sabrina said quietly. "You're leaving me to face my misery alone now…"
"Oh, be quiet," Veronica playfully glared at her daughter before hugging her tightly. "Be good. I promise you'll like this school more than you think. You're a Grimm, after all. Grimm's can handle anything."
"Okay."
"I love you. Don't forget to call me as soon as class ends!" Veronica said.
"I love you too, and I won't forget." Sabrina reassured her mother, before grabbing her hefty suitcase and rolling it along the cobblestone path. She turned back to her mother one last time with a pleading look.
"Please don't make me do this."
"You can do this, Sabrina! You'll like it here, I promise." Veronica said, giving her daughter a shooing motion. "Now, hurry up! You don't want to be late on your first day."
Sabrina turned around, sighing deeply, before heading into the school.
…
"You're Sabrina Grimm, correct?"
"Yes," Sabrina said steadily, not wavering under the principal's scrutinizing gaze.
"Good. You're on time too. My name is Mrs. Adams, and I am the school principal for grades 9-12. Have a seat, please? I'm only asking for a few minutes of your time."
Sabrina sat down in the chair across from Mrs. Adam's desk. Her suitcase was leaning against a wall beside her.
"So, Miss Grimm…" The woman mused. She had short, brown hair and looked to be in her mid-forties. Her stern gaze didn't miss a beat. "You were expelled from your last school for three physical fights with other students?"
"Yes."
"Well, I hope you know that that kind of behavior will not be tolerated at this school. There will be grave consequences for any fights that you cause." Mrs. Adams explained sternly.
Sabrina nodded.
"But on another note, you are a remarkably intelligent student. Your report cards from 9th and 10th grade were very impressive, which is why we gave you a scholarship to come here. I expect great things of you this year, Ms. Grimm."
"Thank you. I'll try my best," Sabrina said, putting on a fake smile.
"Good. Now, every student at this school is required to share a dorm room with another student of the same gender. You'll be sharing a room with Madison Crawford." Mrs. Adams searched through her desk drawers for a moment, before finding a key and handing it to Sabrina. "This is the key to your dorm room. You can go there first, drop off your suitcase, and change into the proper school uniform. Then you will head off to your first period class. Do you know your schedule?"
"Yeah, it's in my suitcase."
"Good. If any problems arise, please do not hesitate to find me. I hope you enjoy your first day here." Mrs. Adams said.
"Thank you." Sabrina grabbed her suitcase, her room key clutched tightly in her hand.
And so day one begins.
…
The day went by in a blur. Sabrina had gone to her dorm room to find that her roommate wasn't there. She quickly changed into the school attire before heading out to find her first period class. She easily fit in with all the students, considering they were all wearing the same uniform.
Sabrina had successfully made it to every class without being late, and so far she liked most of her teachers. Before she knew it, the day was halfway over.
Sabrina headed down to the lunch room, backpack over her shoulder. After buying her food from the long lunch line, she searched for somewhere to sit in the crowded cafeteria.
"Hey, new girl!"
Sabrina turned around to find a small group of girls seated at a table, staring intently at her.
Sabrina walked over to them. "Um, hi?"
"I think we have a few classes together," the same girl said. "My name's Madison. I'm pretty sure we share a dorm room."
Sabrina nodded, her lunch tray still in her hands. "Yeah, we do."
Madison seemed nice enough. She had long, brown hair with red highlights and tanned skin. Her most noticeable feature was her brown eyes.
Sabrina sat down at the open seat beside one of Madison's friends.
"This is Rebecca, and the girl you're sitting next to is Nancy," Madison explained.
The two girls looked nothing alike. Rebecca had curly, blonde hair, while Nancy had short, dark brown hair that reached her shoulders. After introductions had been made, and Sabrina had finished eating, Madison rushed the blonde out the door, hastily saying goodbye to her friends.
"Where are we going?" Sabrina asked in confusion, as she was dragged out of the cafeteria and outside onto the cobblestone path.
"I'm showing you around the school grounds!" Madison exclaimed, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
Sabrina allowed Madison to drag her around the campus.
"It's your first day and you've already made a name for yourself," Madison said. "I'm impressed."
Sabrina raised an eyebrow. "Made a name for myself?"
"Yeah! All the boys think you're hot. You're the only thing people have been talking about all day."
Sabrina was surprised. "Really? It seemed like no one was paying any attention to me."
"Well, they definitely were. Anyways, after lunch, sometimes the sports teams will come outside and practice. Basketball teams usually practice in the gym. Football practices up on that hill over there. You wanna see where I play?" Madison asked.
"Sure. What sport do you play?" Sabrina questioned.
"Soccer."
Sabrina smiled. "So do I."
"Really? You should try out to be on the team! Here, I'll introduce you to the guys!" Madison said excitedly, dragging Sabrina up a hill.
Once the girls reached the top of the hill, it stretched out into a flat plain of grass. Two boys and a girl were busy dribbling a soccer ball between each other.
"Guys, I have someone I want you to meet!" Madison called out towards her friends. The three students began heading towards them.
"Listen," Madison whispered. "The tall kid with green eyes may seem a bit… rude. But don't be offended, he's usually like that to the people he doesn't know."
Sabrina nodded.
"Guys, this is Sabrina! She's the new girl here." Madison announced to her friends.
The girl who had been playing soccer before excitedly shook Sabrina's hand. "Hi! I'm Julie!"
Julie seemed like a loveable nerd, for lack of a better word. She had wavy brown hair, and a pair of circular glasses framed her face.
Sabrina smiled at her. "Hey."
"And this is Jake," Madison said warily, turning to the shorter of the two boys. "Just ignore him, though. He's kind of a huge flirt."
Jake looked to be Hispanic, with brown hair, tanned skin, and brown eyes.
He rolled his eyes at Madison's remark. "I am not a flirt. But it's very nice to meet you, Sabrina."
Madison and Sabrina shared similar looks.
"Thanks, Jake."
"And this is Puck," Madison said after a moment.
Of the two boys in front of her, Puck was definitely the taller one. He had curly blonde hair and bright, green eyes. The soccer ball he had been dribbling around before was clutched between his hands.
"Hi," he said simply.
"Hi."
"Do you play soccer, Sabrina?" Jake suddenly asked.
Sabrina smirked at him.
He had no idea.
Yay! First chapter is completed!
I'll probably start asking my usual QotD's by chapter two or three, okay?
Please Read&Review!
Thanks,
