100 Push Ups

Chapter One

Darling's POV
As I felt the sweat pour down my face I smiled. The day was beautiful and perfect for working out in the unused field. It's nice to finally be able to workout outside, rather than between my and Rosabella's beds. I feel so free since I announced one of my secrets when we were all in wonderland. I had many other secrets, but I'm not ready to share them. Like how I've been questioning my sexuality since I gave Apple White CPR. It was not a kiss and I don't like Apple, but I'm still confused.
The plank I was doing felt so good. The green grass tickled my arms. I looked around. I noticed a girl with long auburn hair doing lunges. The length of the hair only meant one person. Holly O' Hair. I noticed she was struggling, so I got up. I had been doing a plank since 5 minutes before, but that's not my record, so it didn't matter. I watched Holly fall over, so I ran. "You ok?" I asked. She looked up. I stared into her teal-green eyes. They were shimmering in the sunlight. I held out my hand. She took it, but I almost fell over then. Her hand was so soft and warm. I felt a tingle.
"I'm fine. Thankyou."she said, snapping me out of my trance. She also had a lovely and soft voice. I smiled. I pulled her up, and she was hextremley light. Or that could have just been my strength talking. I noticed I was still holding her hand, so I let go and blushed. I looked back at her and noticed she was staring at me. We made eye contact and she blushed. "Are you ok?" I asked. She nodded. "My ankle hurts a little though." She said. An idea popped into my mind. The next thing I knew, the O'Hair was sitting on my flat back as I did push ups. She laughed every time we went up, since her poor core muscles almost made her fall off. I noticed how hard I was smiling. I tried to stop but couldn't. Then I remembered something. Daring. It was well known in campus that Holly liked him. Of course. He gets to go to hero training and gets all the girls. I don't know exactly why Holly likes him, since Daring dated and broke up with Apple, Lizzie, Cerise, and is currently dating Rosabella. I definitely like the fact they are dating, but I'm concerned that Daring will dump her too. Maybe even dump her and go for Holly.
Eventually, we both decided it was time to go in. I realized I had done 100 without stopping. Wow. I smiled at Holly. She smiled back. We went our separate ways and I headed up to my room. I took off my workout gear and put on some pajamas. I sat down at the edge of my bed and began drawing Holly. She was so pretty I wanted to make sure I got every detail just right. I began to draw. It felt weird since u hadn't drawn since middle school, but it was welcome. I stopped to look at my work.

Her crown, sleeves, and the background needed work. I heard the door open, but I didn't really care. I continued.
Rosabella's POV
When I walked in I saw Darling drawing. She was also humming, both things that she never really did. I smiled. I was glad to see her happy like this. "Hey. Darling? Is this because you get to attend hero training class tomorrow?" I said. Darling looked up, blushing. She didn't make eye contact with me. "Yeah" she replied in her soft voice. There was something she was hiding. "Ah hem." I said. "The truth?" She looked at me, but then looked away. "Wait.... Do you like someone? I've only seen you act this way when you first met Chase." I said with a smirk. "Who is he?" I asked. Darling looked at me with worried eyes. We locked eyes. "It's...." She looked to the right. "It a girl." She said. I gasped. When I first met Darling, I knew she was a lesbian deep down but I didn't expect her to realize this soon. "I support you. Who is she?" I asked.
3rd person
As Holly hummed a sweet tune while brushing her hair in the mirror she thought about Darling. She sighed. "My knight in shinning armor." She said. Poppy looked over. "Uh oh! Whose ty lucky guy the famous Holly is crushing on?" She asked teasingly. Holly's dreamy eyes and poor posture snapped open and up. She turned bright red. She knew she couldn't lie her way around her sister. "I...um... I don't really... I'm not sure if." Holly rambled. Poppy raised an eyebrow in suspicion. "She's not a boy..." Holly said. Poppy hugged her sister. "Ok then. Who's the lucky girl. "I'm not sure. I think I like Darling but..." Poppy cut in.
"Darling!? What is it with you and those Charmings?" Poppy asked playfully.
"I don't know. I think I like her but doesn't that go against my destiny? I'm supposed to be saved by my Prince Charming, not by a girl. It's against tradition." Poppy looked at her sister.
"Stories always have little tweaks." She said comfortingly.
"But a princess Charming us a big tweak." Holly stated. "So is auburn hair. So is your name." Poppy replied. Holly smiled. Maybe Poppy was right,
Back to Rosabella and Darling
"Holly O' Hair." Darling replied. Rosabella stared at her and then blinked. She blinked again. Then she smiled. "Few!" She said. "For a moment I thought it was Apple since you cave her CPR and woke her up!" Darling frowned. Yes, Darling gave her CPR, but it was Apple herself that coughed the evil air out. All Darling did was remove the wedge of apple lodged in her throat by breathing into her throat.
"But have you considered she doesn't like you back sin-" Rosabella was cut off.
"Yes. I know she likes Daring. She likes someone else and she likes boys, so there's no hope. It doesn't matter we both know it's never gonna happen." Darling replied. Rosabella gave her a sad look and then picked up her mirror phone. She dialed Poppy's number and stepped out. "Hello?" A voice asked.
"Hey. It's me." Rosabella said. "I need to tell you something. Darling likes Hol-"
"Wait? What?! That's perfect! Holly likes Darling! We need to set them up!" Poppy said.
"Yeah totally." The brunette replied. " How about a secret admirer meets them at the Mad hatter's?" Rosabella asked.
"Perfect." A racket was heard in the back round. "Ops. Spell ya later! Gotta go!" Poppy said. She hung up. Rosabella stepped back into the room. Her roommate was polishing a sword. Darling looked up. "Wait. You weren't?" She asked.
"No. I would never. I swear. Holly doesn't know." Rosabella said. Poppy does, though. Rosabella thought. Once the secret admirers made there move, the plan would be perfect.
