Everything Changes … Chapter 1 (A New Start)

Piper's PoV

This was going to be the best year ever, she could feel it. In High School she had given up hoping for a change but now everything was different. She was better then ever not only in her confidence rise but in her looks too. She had changed so much, no ache visible, new contacts, new clothes and a new hair do later and here she was. This had been what her birthday money had done she had asked for money for her birthdays and it had all paid off how she had wanted it to. Aw, she could just feel the love spread in her body, she was loving herself, probably though maybe it was for the first time. Everything was going to work for her, everything. In high school it had been utter and total hell for her, everyday she had been teased and ridiculed throughout her teen life now she was an adult and everything was different. Missy wasn't around to make her feel like crap anymore, nope she wasn't going to ruin this for her. All these years she had not only been taken for granted but guilt tripped into everything. All Missy had to do was sparkle that smile and ask 'nicely' and she got exactly what she wanted, spoilt brat. Right today wasn't the day to think about it maybe tomorrow when everything went pear shape- no be positive Piper, be positive. In her opinion this was her year of change, and what hell of a change it was going to be. She was going to do all the things she had never tried due to … well the obvious Missy, the whole teasing thing, then she hadn't had the confidence to try but know, know everything was different she had confidence with plenty to spare. Today it was all going to change.

Walking up the coble path up to the big, grey building, Baker High had branched out, now there was Baker Community College, specially for those with less cash, the only down side was that it was a distance from the manor and she had no car. So they had dorms, they were just down the street from it so it was a good choice. And her room mates were nice enough, infact she thought they liked her. Rosie was a petite girl with shoulder-length, mousy brown hair, she was quite clever too, and very thoughtful. Then there was Louise she was a tall girl with auburn hair all the way down her back, she seemed to need more help with her studies from what she was told over the past view weeks when Piper had first moved in. But that wasn't hardly any problem, Piper had already offered her support and Rosie was all in for it after all we're all mates, buddies whatever you want to call it, they were friends and friends stick together. It was a shame that they weren't in hardly any classes together, just one ethics class, but then again both Rosie and Lou got most of their classes together it was just Piper left out because of her choices in major. But she would she them today in last period, ethics would end the day great. Just enough time to blab about the day to her friends.

This place remaindered her so much of high school with probably one big difference, it wasn't. Just that thought brought a smile to her crimson lips as she mounted the steps of the college, and on though the doors. She had already been sent her time table and it looked like her first class was English Literature. Oh well I like that class I should do well in that. Now just to find it, right 217. Um… I'll just ask him. So she moved closer to him till she got close enough to ask him.

"Excuse me? Do you know where room 217 is?"

"Yeah, infact I'm on my way up," she said slightly looking over her, shooting his eyes into hers. "I'm Dan Gordon"

He was cute she had to admit, he had dark chestnut brown hair and brown eyes, in her opinion he wasn't that bad.

"Oh I'm Piper Halliwell "

She said extending her had, he a strong powerful grip and shake to match, his skin was tanned it reflected well with his hair and cheerful smile.

"Piper… that's a beautiful name, hey since you going to 217 why don't I walk you up"

"Yer ok"

Ok it was official he was hot and it looked like he might like her, maybe as a friend but then again maybe more, but then again all she cared at the moment was that he liked her she didn't care if it wasn't some lovy dovy way all she cared was that she was making friends and by the look of it, it was getting successful.

"Here we are"

The room was huge, big enough for over 100 students, and had isles of stairs up 4 sides leading to two doors, the atmosphere seemed like a great relief everybody was chatting and relaxing, well that would be until Ms. Litchfield entered the big red doors.

"Wanna sit next to me?"

"Yeah sure" she said looking directly into his eyes "Why not?" She said spreading a smile across her face. She followed him into a row of seats, and sat on the end. Dan was the first man that had her really looked her way, he was the first one to ever compliment her even if it was just her name. It was the thought that counts wasn't it, and how she was feeling now there was no way it couldn't be and it-

"Oh my God!"

Dan looked up at her I "What is it? What's wrong Piper?"

She hadn't even realise she had said it aloud, Oh god why did he have to be here, this had been her chance to change, be a different person and now what was happening. She was in the same school as Leo Wyatt the guy that not only went out with Missy Campbell but made a fool of her and made her life hell from the start of Jr High. And now he was here, ruining all of what she had tried so much to change, her hair, her clothes and now it was all going to go to waste. He was giving out the work sheets and he was getting closer.

"Piper? Are you ok?"

"Oh Dan, I'm fine"

"Really you didn't look fine"

"Oh really I don't look fine do I?" Oh my god what just came over me.

A little laugh escaped Dan's lips "no I didn't mean it like that, I was getting worried but you seem better, now"

"I'm sorry, I guess I'm making up for not doing it when I was younger"

"No it's ok, you do look fine"

"ooh thank you"

"Don't I know you?" Looking over her shoulder she saw Leo, damn she nearly forgot about him. God she was tremoring all over.

"Er, I don't think so I'm Piper""

God she must be really desperate if she did this god he was defiantly going to remember after what he used to do to her daily.

"Oh, I'm Leo" he seemed to look into her eyes maybe he could sense her fear, it was possible, then he extended his hand, shaking his hand, she shook her gaze from his, "Well I guess I'll see you around."

"Piper are you alright?" Dan was still looking at her.

"Oh yes Dan I swear it I'm ok"
