100 Push Ups

Chapter Two

Poppy had asked Cupid for help with the love letters and she had them done within two minutes. The targets had no clue about the extremely cheesy love letters the would revive. Darling opened her locker. A pice of paper fluttered out. She picked it up and read it. She didn't believe it. She read it again. She read it a third time. She dropped the paper. She knew who was behind this and why. I grin apeared on her face since she knew why. Holly liked her so Rosabella and probably Poppy and Cupid had helped. The thing that made her frown was that they really thought she was that stupid and that they didn't just tell her to begin with. She rolled her eyes and closed her locker. "I don't know where you are but I know you're there. I also know you're behind this so just come out." She said in an annoyed tone. Timidly, the three came out. "You really thought I was that stupid?"
Darling's POV
I was kinda upset that they didn't tell me to begin with, but I let that slide since they 1. Would do that for me and 2. Holly liked me. Usually when I develop a crush I stalk them for a month even though I'm not romance obsessed. Thankfully, I might not have to do that. My lucky number is officially 100. I was definitely prepared to go out with Holly, but if anything happens I don't think I will. "Well, we gonna stalk Holly or what?" I asked. My friends smiled. We ran through the halls to Holly's locker. We watched as she opened it. "Huh. What's this?" She asked. She read it and sighed. "Wow. A secret admirer? That's fabelist! Huh... Well I guess I didn't have a chance with Darling either." Her mood changed. I wanted to protest. "Well, she is awesome. And pretty, and strong. She's so independent and sure. Definitely out of my league." I blushed hard as my friends elbowed my playfully. She started walking in out direction so we casually acted like we had just been walking though the halls. "Hey guys!" Holly said. "Hey holly." I said. "What's that?" I asked, pointing the the note. "Oh. Um, nothing." She said sheepishly. Wow, she seemed to not want to tell me about the chance of someone else liking her. The bell rang. "Yes!" I said. It was time for hero trainings I sped off into the classroom. I sat down. I was obviously the only girl, but I was one of the strongest there. "Ok class." The teacher said. "Today we will join the damsel in distressing class and saving them from fake towers. You need to get them down safely without shaking them badly. Darling, consider this your test." He looked at me. "I don't believe a dress and heels are proper hero attire." He said.
"You'd be suprised what I can accomplish, sire." I said. He nodded. " Perfect attitude for a hero. Take that as an example. But you still have a lot to prove, Miss. Charming. I nodded. As we made outlet was to my old classroom I thought about how much I had to prove. I had to save one of my former classmates from a tall fake, un sturdy tower with out shaking them to badly. Easy peasy. When we stepped on the girls were already were in their towers. A few said hi to me. I was paired with Apple, Daring with Holly, Hunter with Cerise and Dexter with Raven. I stopped listening and stared at Holly. Then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Apple staring at me with a dreamy look on her face. Did she like me? Did she think I kissed her awake instead of the truth? This can't be good. A few minutes later, we were all climbing up. I looked straight at Apple. Then over to the other towers. Since I used to sneak out of the Charming castle, I was faster and ahead of all the boys. I climed to the top. I wrapped my arm around Apple and she sighed. I smiled, but in a friendly way. I looked over at Daring and Holly. Daring grabbed Holly and began to make his way down the tower. His foot slipped. Thankfully, he caught into the window frame. However, he dropped Holly. Without thinking, I grabbed a stage rope that was by the tower since the stage was the only place we could fit the towers and swung over to the falling Holly. I grabbed her fueled out hand as I let go of the rope. I dropped to the ground holding Holly and Apple. It was silent. Then, everyone applauded. I smiled but felt Apple really close to me. She sighed while staring at me. Holly was also staring at me so I smiled at her. She blushed. "Miss. Charming." The teacher of my new class said. I was nervous since I was only supposed to save Apple. "You certainly uphold the Charming name. Good job." He said. I smiled. Best day ever!
