Once Upon a Time: Ever After High (Book 3)

Ch.32 Apology kiss

In the 'Wonder diner', Natalie was on her phone near the counter when Danielle joined her.

"Hey" she said.

"Oh, hey" Natalie said.

"How are you?" Danielle asked with a smile.

"Okay I guess" Natalie sighed.

"I noticed you were trying to ignore Gregg today, how come?"

"It's a long story that I don't wanna talk about".

"You sure? Cause you seem pretty sad, and I heard that if you talk about your problems, you'll feel better".

"I don't know" she sighed again.

"Seriously what's wrong? You can tell me".

Natalie bit her lips as she thought about it.

"I don't know if I should tell you this" she said nervously "I mean only Elena and Macy know about this".

"What is it?"

Natalie gave another sigh "Well, if I tell you, can you not tell anyone?"

"I promise".

"Okay" Natalie sighed again "Well, last month, I think it was last month, I went to this party I wasn't invited to, and that's where I met Gregg, we started talking, which led to a big make out, and the next thing we knew, we were in bed together".

"What?" Danielle gasped.

"Yeah. Anyway, we then started to, do it, but he was wearing a condom. But the next morning, I saw that the condom was broken, and that really scared me. So I took 2 pregnancy tests, one of them was positive, the other was negative, and that really confused me. So I got help from Elena and Macy, and they took me to the doctors and we found that I wasn't pregnant".

"Well that's good" Danielle sighed in relief.

"Yeah but it really scared me" Natalie said with a sad look "And after that I told Gregg about it and I just felt we shouldn't see each other anymore, but every time I see him, it just triggers back the memory and it makes me feel so guilty".

"Oh my gosh" Danielle gasped "I'm so sorry".

"Don't be" Natalie sighed "It was my fault, I shouldn't of done it with him".

"And you're still not over it?"

"Not really" she sighed with a sad look "I've been trying to ignore it by doing my usual stuff with school and cheerleading, but that memory still haunts me, and I don't think I'll ever get over it".

She then looked at the time on her phone.

"I need to go" she said as she grabbed her purse.

"Okay" Danielle said "Well I'm glad you told me that, and don't worry, I wont tell anyone".

"Thanks" Natalie said as she went out the diner.

As she went down the sidewalk, when she turned around a corner she bumped into someone, when she saw who it was her eyes widen; Gregg. They avoided eye contact as they tried to go pass each other, but they saw that as they tried to go pass each other, they end up blocking each others past.

"Okay stop" Natalie said "What are you doing?"

"Well I'm trying to avoid you" Gregg said.

"Well I'm trying to avoid you".

"Well how can we stop seeing each other?"

"Apparently we can't".

Gregg gave a sigh "This is a problem".

"Yeah" she agreed.

They then looked into each others eyes and saw the sorrow.

"I felt really stupid" he said.

"Yeah you think?" Natalie frowned.

"Look, I'm sorry, I should of stopped when we went too far".

"But we didn't stop, and that was a big mistake".

"But I can't live like this, I can't live with this problem".

"Well neither can I".

"So what do we do?"

"I don't know".

They then continued to look into each others eyes as they felt the old feelings coming back. And the next things they knew, they leaned in and into a kiss. They then wrapped their arms around each other as they continued to kiss, not knowing that Macy and Danielle were watching with shock.

"Okay" Macy said surprised "I did not see that coming".

"Uh, let's just go and not tell them about this" Danielle suggested.

"Yeah okay" Macy agreed as they went away.

Still in his office, Mr. Gram, the principle of Storybrooke High and also Milton Grimm sat at her desk working on some paper work when the door opened and Mira entered.

"Why Milton Grimm" she said with a sneaky smile "It's been a while".

"I'm sorry" he said confused "Have we met before?"

"Oh that's right, you probably don't remember me, but I used to be the most baddest student at Ever After High when you were younger".

Mr. Gram studied her face, he then realized who she was.

"Mira Queen?" he gasped.

"How you been?" she asked sarcastically.

"How did you escape from mirror prison?" he asked with a stern look.

"Oh I didn't exactly escape, I'm a younger duplicate of the Evil Queen, the real me is still in mirror prison".

"So that means-".

"Yeah" she smiled "You can't put me in mirror prison since I'm already in there".

"Then why are you here?" he demanded.

"Oh you know" she said as she sat in the chair across his desk and put her feet up on the table "Just spending time in my teen years, creating chaos and hanging with my daughter. And speaking of her, I've been trying to give her this wand".

She pulled out the wand.

"This was suppose to be her Thronecoming gift, but she never got it cause of you".

"Well I was trying to convince her to follow her destiny".

"Yeah same with me, I tried to give her the wand but she refused".

"What's so important about that wand? She had her magic already".

"Let me tell you a little story Milton" Mira said as she put her feet down and faced him "When I was a student at Ever After, I had no choice but the follow my destiny in order to get back at Snow White, but before I did, I wanted to make something that will make sure my destiny will be passed through my child and so forth, so I created this wand and carved my name into it, since I'm the Evil Queen now. But, once it's been passed to Raven, and if she embraces her destiny to become the next Evil Queen, her name will appear on the wand and her destiny will continue".

"Ah" Mr. Gram said amused "Interesting".

"I know" she agreed "But it wont happen unless she embraces her destiny".

"Oh don't worry, she will alright, it just takes time. But in the meantime, you go ahead and try to convince her".

"Oh I will" Mira assured as she got up "No matter how long it takes".

And with that she went out the room.
