Just A Game.
Summary: Phoebe had transferred to another school, were her sisters are in.
Called Catholic Hollow College. It isn't any ordinary school. Strange things
go on. Plus this particular town has a tradition to play hide and seek in
total pitched black on Halloween Night. Phoebe's sister's Prue and Piper don't
participate in this game, since they aren't new kids anymore. But once the
game begins…Phoebe better watch out…there's a demon that acts like a friend of
Phoebe's, who's out to get her.
A/N: This is story is based on the book I read, I was really bored one night
and I remember a creepy book (Was creepy to me, you try play hide and seek in
total darkness) I read, and decided to write something somewhat like it.
Please R/R, and please be kind, negativity doesn't help me to become better at
this.
EDIT: I've re enter this FF, because I hadn't finished it last time. But this time. I will. I promise. And I hope everyone will like it. I've noticed, I was dilly dalling on some things, so I might have to speed it up a little. Because it isn't getting to the point. But it will. The only reason WHY, there'll only be three chapters out, like before. Is because my friend has my pages. All 47 of them. :O so many. Haha. So, I'll write up what I've got so far. I hope those who were very interested in my writing, come back, to see more of it.
The next chapters will be up ASAP. Which means, once she gives me back my papers.

"Phoebe!" yelled Piper, who was already running late for school, who called
from downstairs. Grabbing her coat, and putting it on, she yelled once more.
"Phoebe! Hurry up! We're late as it is!" She opened the manor door, and a
creaking sound came from it, a sound that needed oil, so it would stop
creaking, when being opened. Piper only did this to get Phoebe downstairs,
making it seem as though she was leaving her behind.
Phoebe went flying down the stairs, then skidded on the rug. "I'm here!" She
exclaimed, panting and struggled to put on her windbreaker.
"About time!" Piper said, holding the door open for Phoebe, grabbing her own
school bag. "I don't believe your going to be late on your first day of school
Pheebs." Piper closed the manor door, and went straight for her car. Phoebe
had transferred to Catholic Hollow High since she disliked going to the other.
It was already October, three weeks away from Halloween. "Well it isn't easy
to get into a really tight skirt you know, and it's soo short! Look, look my
thighs are practically showing!" Phoebe complained, tugging at her skirt to
make it longer. "Oh well, that's the school…" Piper said.
Phoebe, climbed into the passenger seat beside Piper, and buckled up, then
they were off. The school wasn't far, but wasn't close enough to walk. Phoebe
sat in complete silence, twirling her hair. Piper glanced at her, noticing her
uneasiness, then directed her attention back to the road. "Honey, what's
wrong?" Piper asked, taking another glance at Phoebe. "Oh you
know…butterflies…first day of school…" Phoebe responded. "Oh, yeah, my first
day of school, I was terrified, but the kids there are really nice, well some
are, don't worry you'll make friends fast. And also, I bet you half of your
friends will be boys." Piper winked. "Yeah, probably from this skirt." Phoebe
rolled her eyes.
The car stopped in front of an extremely huge and grand building. "Piper are
you sure, this isn't some rich school?" Phoebe said, stepping out of the car
and shutting the door, staring up at the building. "Well some rich people do
come here, and it is a Catholic school, Pheebs." Piper answered, locking her
car, and walking to a boy. "Well, Phoebe I think you can find your way to the
entrance, I've gotta catch up with Leo, see ya sis." Piper hurried over to Leo
who was sitting on some steps, waiting for her.

(This is from Phoebe's eyes for now on, like you're actually Phoebe)
I walked away from Piper, heading for the entrance where I only saw older
kids, no freshmen, I guess I was really late now. I ran down the hall, until I
saw a room marked principle's office. Remembering my manners, I knocked first
and then entered. I was startled. The secretary was waiting for me to enter;
she knew my name, and everything. She had amber hair, with blue eyes, and
seemed really young. I always expected to see a gray old hag sitting there
with her glasses at the tip of her nose, and speaking in a nasty tone. But
this secretary was young, beautiful and very nice. "Hello there, Miss Phoebe
Halliwell I assume?" She said cheerfully. She put one hand out, and I shook
it. "Yes, I'm Phoebe Halliwell." I answered. "I'm Mrs. Johnson, your 20
minutes late, but since your sister's are really good students one of the
finest students actually, I'll let you slide." She looked back down at her
desk, then she rummaged threw flies. "Ah ha, here you are" She handed me a
pink slip, I guess it was a pass for not being late even though I was late.
"Thanks" I said. "Your welcome, and your homeroom class is 223. It's on the
freshmen side of the school. So you should go up 4 flights of stairs, that are
right down this hallway, then on the 4th flight, go down the hallway, turn
right, then turn left, then turn left again, and once right, and your on the
freshmen side. Go down that hall and you should see your homeroom." She
smiled. "Hope you have a great time here." She looked back down at her paper
work, and seemed to completely forget that I was there. I went out of the
office, and followed her directions. I didn't know this school was soo huge,
well I did but just to get to the freshmen side! I finally reach my
destination, and knocked on the door. I entered, and the whole room fell under
a complete silence. "Ah, that must be our new transfer student, come in if you
please." The teacher said. "I'm Mrs. Jenkens, and you are?" "Phoebe, Phoebe
Halliwell" I replied. "Nice to meet, you, and I assume the whole class would
too, don't you class?" Mrs. Jenkens asked. They all nodded their heads. "Why
don't you introduce yourself?" Mrs. Jenkens pushed. "Ok well." I started, and
I stood in front of the whole class, looking at them. "I just transferred from
Robert F. Wagner, and I have 2 sisters that go here, maybe you heard of them,
Prue and Piper. I live on Prescott and Pine. And well I guess I'm hopefully
going to meet everyone." I was so nervous now I just wanted to hide. Luckily
the teacher cut in. "Lovely Miss Halliwell, you may take a seat in front of
Mr. Turner. Mr. Turner would you please raise your hand, so Miss Halliwell
could find you?" Mrs. Jenkens asked politely. A boy about my age raised his
hand; he was near the middle of the room, and 4 rows back from the blackboard.
I walked over to him, and laid my schoolbag on my desk top. "Ok class, when I
announce your name bring up any thing that needs to go to the office, and you
also will receive your schedule." Mrs. Jenkens said. I remember the pink slip
excusing myself from being late, I took it out of my jean back pocket, and
went up to give it to her, in return she handed me my schedule. I went back to
my seat, and read off my classes. The boy behind me went up next, when he came
back I notice him look over my shoulder at my card, he smirked for some
reason. The bell rang and everyone headed off to his or her next class.
I picked up my schoolbag, headed outside looking for the locker number, 669, I
found it and opened up the locker, only taking books I needed and locked it
up, the boy I saw again was standing next to me, taking books form his locker,
the same ones I needed. I went to Math first, so did the boy, everywhere I
went he was there. I guess he had the same schedule as me, odd, but possible.
I went down a line, holding a tray, I grabbed two cups of jell-o and a slice
of pizza, I paid for the lunch, and went looking for a table to sit ate. I saw
my sisters, I guess we have the same lunch period, but they were occupied with
their friends. Then I saw a boy, the one who had all the classes with me. He
was signaling me to come over. I didn't want to stand around looking like an
idiot so I hurried over to him. "Hi!" I said cheerfully, beaming a smile.
"Hi!" he said back to me, also smiling. "Wanna sit down?" "Yeah, thanks, you
saved me from the torture of standing around looking like a moron, and eating
myself." I sat down, and looked at my spoon, in my old school we use to look
at the numbers, and say that's how old I am. "I'm Cole, Cole Turner" He said
to me. "I'm Phoebe, Phoebe Halliwell" I replied. We both shook hands. "You're
in my class right?" I asked, still looking at the spoon. "Actually, in all of
them, even homeroom" He answered. "What's are you looking at?" He looked at me
curiously. "Oh" I laughed a little, and blushed. "Just a little thing my
friends and I did, you know we look at the number on our spoon, and declared
that as our age." I smiled at him. "Cool, what number did you get?" He asked.
"68" I replied. "You?" "72" Cole answered. "Wow, your old." I teased. "Only
four years older!" He teased back. "Besides your old too, 68? That's old."
"Well how old are you really?" I asked, he should be at least 19 or 20, maybe
even 18, because of the months. "I'm 20 now, I'll be 21 soon though." He
answered "How's the possible? I'm only 19!" I said. "Well I started school
early, that's why" He replied. He grinned at me, his perfect white teeth
showing. I smiled. I slowly ate my pizza and I had already finished my jell-o.
Cole started telling jokes and next thing you know I was laughing a lot. I was
getting extremely red. From the corner of my eye, I saw a blonde hair girl and
three brunette's staring at Cole and me. "What's their problem?" I asked Cole.
"Who?" He asked, staring at me. "Those girls, over there" I responded,
pointing to where they sat. Once Cole turned his head in their direction, they
instantly turned their heads. "Ugh, not them again…" Cole looked down at his
jell-o. "Who are they?" I just had to ask. "The brunette sitting next to the
blonde one is Natalie, The other brunette on the opposite side of the blonde
one is Josephine, and next to Josephine is Melissa and the blonde one is
Cassandra, only 'her group' can call her Cassy, or whomever she likes." He
began to start to play with his jell-o. I started laughing coming up with this
crazy idea. "She likes you right?" I said grinning. "Yeah…" He sighed. "Why
are you laughing about this?" "Oh I have a plan, to make her jealous." I
winked. "Like what? Kiss you?" He grinned, then took a spoon of jell-o out,
but instead of him taking it in. I directed his spoon to my mouth, and I took
a bite. I made a face, as though loving it. Cassandra was glaring at me,
burning into my back, I could feel it. It was the whole purpose. "I didn't
expect that, but I can work with it." He laughed. I leaned in again for
another bite assuming I'd get one but instead he took the spoon away and
kissed me, I really think we kind of gotten caught up in it, because soon I
didn't hear any noise around us. When we broke away the whole entire lunchroom
were staring at us. My sisters shocked. "Phoebe!" Prue screamed. "What the…"
She tired to continue but then a boy cut in and started shouting "WOOooOOO!
Phoebe and Cole!" And started clapping. Soon the whole cafeteria was shouting
Cole and Phoebe, and clapping. I turned red. Cassandra was furious. I bet she
would have wanted her name shouted 'Cole and Phoebe'. I couldn't stay in the
lunchroom I got up and ran to the girl's bathroom. "Phoebe?" I heard someone
call my name. I turned around and saw Prue standing there and Piper. "You ok
Pheebs?" Piper asked. "Yeah I'm fine, It's not embarrassing really…I had
worst, actually I really enjoyed it." I responded. Prue looked furious also,
but not out of jealous out of reputation. "Phoebe, if you and Cole wanted to
make out you both could of went somewhere private! I have a reputation to
watch!" She yelled. "Sorry," I said looking at the tile floor, but actually I
was grinning mischievously. The kiss was wonderful. And I did find Cole very
attractive. But I was wondering why did he kiss me? I didn't agree to that,
only the jell-o eating and I loved jell-o. Oh well, the kiss was delicious,
literally, he had some jell-o on him. My sisters then left, but then I heard
another voice, not a girls voice but, Cole's! "Phoebe, are you ok?" He asked
concerned. "I'm fine, what are you doing in the 'girl's' bathroom?!" I asked.
"Well I wanted to check up on you, I hope I didn't make you cry or anything
else." He said, apologizing. "Aw, don't worry about me, I'm tuff, I need
something painful or more embarrassing to make me cry, plus I enjoyed it." I
grinned mischievously again. He grinned back, mischievously. He took a step
closer to me and put his hands around my waist. "Would you like to try it
again, maybe make sure you enjoyed it?" He asked, smirking. "Absolutely" I
answered. Next thing you know were making out in the girls bathroom. I was
pushed up against the cold bathroom wall, but it didn't matter, Cole was
really warm. Unfortunately Cassandra walked in. Cole got off me quickly and he
grabbed my hand, we both tried to look as though he was comforting me. Well he
was actually. Just not the way you would say comforting was. Cassandra knew he
wasn't just comforting me. "Well thanks Cole," I said. We both walked toward
the door fast. Cole walked out first, and then Cassandra sprang and shut the
door only her and me inside. She narrowed her eyes at me. "Don't think Cole's
yours missy, he's mine, only mine, so you better stay away from him." Hatred
and Jealousy was building up inside of her. I rolled my eyes. I was
psychically stronger than Cassandra, and pushed her aside. "I'm not scared of
you Cassandra, Cole and I are friends, know all the facts before you start
embarrassing yourself." I pushed open the door, and went to my locker; the
bell was going to ring in about 15 minutes. I found Cole there of course; he
locker number was 668, right beside mine. "What happened to you?" He asked,
grabbing his language book out for Japanese class. I also grabbed mine out.
"That girls Cassandra, thinks that I want you as my boyfriend, so I had to
tell her off that we're only friends." I said not looking at Cole but my
attention at my locker, grabbing particular pens for this class, and index cards.

Cole's View
(A/N: I know I said it would only be from Phoebe's view but I had to put Cole
down. I mean wouldn't you just like to see what's going on in that head of
his? Exactly! Anyway back to the story)
Cassandra must have been really ticked off. I smirked as I left the bathroom.
I guess Phoebe hasn't come out yet, probably doesn't want it to make it
obvious her and him were making out. No one noticed me when I came out. Well
everyone elsewhere heading to his or her class, too busy to look for me. That
kiss with Phoebe was magical. Look at me, talking about an ordinary kiss
magical. Well if it was magical, Phoebe must be special; she's special to me.
I would really like to date her, and be her boyfriend. Hopefully she feels the
same for me.
5 minutes went by, I waited at the lockers for her to come, and I grabbed my
books out for language class, Japanese. She finally showed up. She explained
what happened. But when he said 'I explained to her we're only friends' I felt
like I was stabbed in the heart, with a dagger. I looked at the tile floor of
the hallway, then leaned against my lockers, in thought. How could she say
'friends'? Didn't seem like those kisses were friendly kisses. We were making
out in the girl's bathroom, up against the wall. Until rotten Cassandra came
in, she ruined everything. Phoebe probably noticed my quietness, because she
kept calling my name. "Cole?" She asked, waving a hand in front of my face. I
looked up at her, a smiled greeted me. "Are you ok?" She asked, a little
worried. "I'm fine," I said reassuring her, and grinned. We both headed off to
the next class. But I didn't expect the next thing she did. She kissed me
again, except this time, wasn't a long one, and she grabbed my hand. Maybe she
was only saying we were friends. Deep down she really liked me, as I did for her.
{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}
(Back to Phoebe's view)
When I noticed Cole's quietness, I knew what I had said that made him go
quiet. 'Friends.' Maybe we could go out, on date but boyfriend and girlfriend,
I'm not ready yet. But to prove to him that I was interested, I did something
nice. As we walked down to our class, I kissed him, not as long as before, but
enough, and also held his hand. We didn't hold hands for long. He moved his
hand around me waist and kept it there. In response I put my arm around his
waist. We walked into class like that. Quickly we had to remove our hands,
after all this was a Catholic school. Cole and I found seats next to each
other. We picked up the Japanese language quickly. Soon we both started
talking in Japanese, when we didn't want other people to understand us.
{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*Week Later*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}*{*}
Cole and I have been dating for quite a while now. And everyone at school
thinks we're the cutest couple. However Cassandra was still furious. But then
everyone started to always look at me, glance, stare, glare, anything you can
name. I finally asked Cole during lunch, why is everyone staring at me?
"Cole," I asked. "Yes?" he answered, his blue eyes staring into mine. He
looked adorable. "Is there anything special about me, that everyone needs to
stare?" I asked, sweetly. "You're so cute" He teased. Then he changed the
subject. "Are you going to play hide and seek, on Halloween Night with us?" He
asked, digging into his chicken sandwich. "Hide and Seek?" I asked, laughing a
little. "Don't you think that's a little childish?" "Not really, it's at
night, in the woods, and there is always this person, they say has the powers
to make you go insane, if tagged. But I haven't seen anyone go mad so far. He
took another bite of his sandwich. "Oh" I said. "So you're going?" He asked.
"Do you want me to go?" I asked, smiling. He looked side to side and put a
finger out signaling me to come closer, I did and he whispered to me. "Of
course I want you to." Then gave me a short kiss on the lips. I grinned
foolishly, and whispered back, "I will then." Then I kissed him back on the
lips. "C'mon, I wanna show you something" He said getting up, dumping both of
our trays, then grabbing my hand. Cassandra, still staring at me, jealousy
written' all over her forehead. Cole and I ran down the hallway, but then I
bumped into a tall, dark and handsome boy. His books fell to the floor, so I
went down to pick them up. "Oh, I'm soo sorry, we we're just going somewhere
and I didn't look where I was going and…" I said apologizing, but the boy cut
me off. "Your Phoebe Halliwell, right?" He asked looking at me, and picking up
the remaining of his books. He had hazel eyes, caramel skin, brown hair that
was a little curly, he was tall and was wearing, a white shirt instead of
blue, and the blue uniform pants, that matched cutely. "Yes, I'm Phoebe
Halliwell." I answered, standing back up, looking a Cole. Cole's blue eyes
were staring at me the whole time. His brown hair, the way I liked, and he was
also wearing a white shirt, rolled up at the sides, revealing his muscular
arms, then he was wearing pale sandy khaki pants. Also part of the boy
uniform. I smiled. Then the boy interrupted my thoughts. "You're in all my
classes you know?" I looked at him, and he beamed a smile. "Really?" I asked
astonished, since Cole was also in all my classes. "I'm Damien, Damien Thorn"
We shook hands. "Well we must be off now" Cole interrupted. "Right" I replied.
"Was nice meeting you Damien" I then put my arm around Cole's waist and he did
the same. "The pleasure was all mine" Damien said, then walked away. Cole and
I continued on to our destination. He covered my eyes and opened a door. Light
flooded in. "Can I look now?" I asked, laughing. "Not yet" He responded,
pulling me somewhere. "Now you can" He told me, he removed his hands and I
opened my eyes. What I saw was a beautiful view in front of me. The Golden
Gate Bridge, the sun, the water, the orangey sky, it was beautiful, romantic.
He led me to a blanket, which we laid on. We started talking, about
everything. I could always open up to Cole; he was always there for me,
always. "Are you going to the Halloween Dance?" He asked. "Well I don't know"
I answered, smiling. "Why do you ask?" "Well" He started. He was blushing a
little and looked shy. He was so cute. "I was wondering if you would go with
me, I mean only if you don't have a date, if you do then that's ok," He said,
then he kept rambling on about how it was ok if I already had a date. I put a
finger to his lip. "Hush." He immediately shut up. "I would love to go with
you." I answered. A huge grin came across his face. He leaned into me, and we
embraced into a kiss, I felt as though electricity was soaring through me but
that could have been just the kiss. He pushed me down on the blanket, and we
were making out all over again. Unfortunately the bell rang, and our free time
was over. I ended our kiss, and gently pushed Cole aside. My skirt was a
little twisted and my shirt was unbuttoned, Cole on the other hand had his
shirt off, and his flier undone. "Whoa, I think we got a little carried away"
I said. 'Uh yeah." He said looking disappointed. "What's wrong?" I asked. I
really didn't need to ask; I already knew the answer to what was wrong. He was
hoping we'd do it. "It's nothing, we should get back" he answered. "Yeah." I
replied. I turned my skirt to the proper way, and fixed my shirt. Cole zipped
up his flier, and buttoned his shirt back up. He picked up the blanket and we
both walked back downstairs to the lockers. When we got there, a red rose was
taped to my locker, and a card. I took the card out and read it. 'Hope you
liked the rose, maybe we can study together sometime. –Damien Thorn.' I closed
up the card, and looked at Cole. He had read it over my shoulder; I saw
jealousy burning into his eyes. "Oh Cole, don't worry, Damien just wants to be
friends." I told him, trying to reassure him. I took out my science books, and
so did Cole, then we ran down hallways to get to science, the teacher there
was really rough. We got there on time, and then teacher started pairing us
off.
