Magnetic Attractions || The Sisters Grimm

Chapter Eleven

Puck's expectations for his first day went south after fighting with Sabrina.
A persisting frown was etched in his face permitting anyone who saw the new boy to stay six feet away from him at all times. Most of the students had heard of the new boy, Robin Goodfellow through Savannah, who spread gossip like her life depended on it. They heard about how charming and handsome he was. They were disappointed to see that it wasn't entirely true. The charming part that is, never the handsome part.

Puck, oblivious to the gossiping that was going on outside, was facing a bothersome dilemma inside named Sabrina Grimm. He was hurt by the level of hate she directed at him. But he knew he hurt her and that hurt more than any petty insult she might have thrown at him. For that he was angry at himself. His heart was torn between running to her (wherever she may be) or sulking.
The one thing he did know was that he needed to find out what exactly happened to Sabrina to make her hate him and change her behaviour so drastically.

By third period, he was slowly getting over the anger and hurt, he directed a charming smile at a small crowd of younger girls, maybe in the year below, standing in front of what was possibly the door to his next class.

"Excuse me ladies, would you happen to know if this is History with Ms Carver?"

The reaction he gets was as if the sun itself came down and shone on ice cream causing it to melt, the sun being himself and ice cream, the girls.

The girls were thrilled at the attention he was showing them. They had heard of course about his standoffish behaviour and how handsome he was. So Clara, one of the more social girls, asked around and quickly found what classes he was taking. She told a few of her friends and they quickly rushed after narrowly missing his first and second class.

The blonde girl, Clara, steps forward with she hopes was a sultry grin as the little group was quickly recovering from Puck's charming nature.

"Yes. You must be new." She extends her hand.

Puck shakes it, a little too occupied in his thoughts to notice the intense look she was giving him.

"Yeah I'm Pu- Robin."

"Well nice to meet you PuRobin."

"Robin just Robin." He mentally curses at himself for his slip up.

"Okay well I'm-"

The bell rings.

Puck jolts, surprise at the sudden noise. He shoots the blonde an apologetic look.
"Sorry I have to go. That awful noise doesn't seem to stop torturing me."

Clara giggles, ready to reply but he has already nodded his farewell and dashed into the classroom.

"Ugh" she glares up at the bell, "Come on guys let's go."

The girls behind her that were whispering during the exchange, begin to giggle.

Puck was not expecting to see Sabrina in the classroom, he was thrilled and also worried. What was she going to do this time. Her head was down, but he could recognise those tight blonde curls any day, tickling my face as I-

"And you are, young man?" A stern but kind voice calls out.

Puck clears his throat and turns to the teacher, instantly surprised with how young she was.

"Robin Goodfellow, ma'am."

Eliza Carver raises a dark, delicate eyebrow. She barely reached her mid 30's and was unmarried to the surprise of most. Her gentle amiable character drew people in. Her voice had an airy nature that seemed to lull people to want to listen to her. She tried dating before but no man has ever caught her attention. After a lackluster experience in that field, she vowed she would never try again. She was adamant with her choice.
