Chapter 1

"Ugh! Why couldn't I have just chosen another school?!" said Piper in an annoyed voice. She looked around at the campus she was in. UCLA was definitely not her first choice.

Phoebe walked up behind her with a huge grin on her face. "Hey Piper! Watcha doing?" she asks in a cheery mood.

Piper jumped back a little startled. "Geez Phoebe, I told not to sneak up on me." She was not in a happy mood.

"What's the matter with you? Are you on your period or something?" asked a now slightly annoyed Phoebe. But she wasn't going to let Piper ruin her happy day.

Piper sighed. "No. I just don't feel so comfortable in this place. I wanted to go to New York. What the hell am I gonna do here?"

"Well, you could go to parties and get drunk?" Phoebe offers. Piper just gave her a 'what the hell?' look. She decided to try again. "Or, you know, studying is always good," she said in a bored tone.

Piper gave a small smile. "What are you doing here anyways? And what's with the happiness?"

"I'm here to support my adoring sister whom I love very very much," replied Phoebe with a big grin.

Piper did not believe any of it of course. "Found any hotties yet?" she asked knowingly.

Phoebe looked shocked at first but then she pouted, "Not yet. I thought there would be more hot guys around."

"Is that all you ever think about?" asked Piper.

"No!! I think about other stuff," replied Phoebe with an indignant look.

"Like what?" challenged Piper. She raised an eyebrow as she waited for Phoebe's response. 'This should be interesting,' she thought.

After a few seconds, Phoebe finally thought about something. "Ponies!!"

Piper sighed. What was she going to do with her hormonal, sixteen-year old sister? She smiled and shook her head, signaling Phoebe to follow her into a building.

As they walked into the building, Phoebe quickly ran to the merchandise area. If there was anything Phoebe liked more than men, it was shopping. And that was a big 'IF'. Piper went to the books area to try and find some of the books that she would need for her core classes. The first book that she found was for her calculus class; and it was a huge book. "Ugh. Am I being punished?" she asked herself. She picked up the book and went to look for her next one. "Let's see. PSY 2000. Where are you?" She kept looking until she found it. There was only one left. 'Lucky me,' she thought. As she went to grab for the book, she noticed another hand reaching for it. Both stopped and looked at each other. The other hand belonged to a handsome young man.

"Sorry. Go ahead. You can have this one," said the young man with a shy smile.

Piper smiled back. "Are you sure?" she asked. She didn't want to be rude after all.

"Yea. I'll just wait for the next shipment." He smiled again. There was a moment of silence before he spoke again. "You're taking Intro to Psych huh?" he asked.

Piper nodded. "Yea. With Dr. Oliver. Who are you taking it with?" she asked. 'I hope it's with Dr. Oliver as well. He's kind of cute,' she thought to herself.

"I'm actually his TA. So yea," he replied with a smile. "I'm sorry. I didn't introduce myself. I'm Michael." He stretches his hand out to Piper.

Piper shakes his hand while introducing herself as well. "I'm Piper. Nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too." Michael gave her a sweet smile that showed off his adorable dimples. "Well, I have to go. If you ever need any help with psychology, just let me know."

"Thanks. I will," she replied. With that, Michael walked away. Piper let out a soft sigh. All she kept thinking about was how nice and sweet Michael had been. She was so deep in her own thoughts that she didn't even notice Phoebe in front of her.

Waving her hands in front of Piper, Phoebe spoke again. "Hello!! Earth to Piper!"

"Huh? What?" asked a confused Piper. She saw that it was Phoebe who was calling her name. "What is it?" she asked.

"Piper, I've been calling you for like two minutes now. Are you ok?" asked Phoebe; concern clearly shown in her tone of voice.

"Yea, yea. I'm ok. I must've spaced out for a little bit there," replied Piper. 'Thinking about a certain cute guy, that is,' she thought. She smiled at that. When she noticed Phoebe's lost expression, she decided to change the subject. "Come on. I have to go pay for these books."

"OK. What books are you getting?" she asked. Without waiting for Piper to reply, she took one of the books and frowned. "Introduction to Psychology. I bet that's gonna be boring."

Piper smiled at that. "Somehow, I think it'll be a fun class."


A few days have passed since Piper bought her books. Classes started today and she was very nervous. She walked up to her first class, which was calculus, and sat in the second row. Even though she was nervous, she still wanted to learn as much as she could. Students kept entering the class and waiting for the professor. The class went pretty well, and the professor seemed fun. Although it was pretty clear that the material was going to be hard to learn.

Her next class was the one that she had been anticipating all week: Psychology. She walked into class and sat in the front. A few minutes later, Michael walked in with a group of people that Piper assumed were his friends. He spotted Piper, and gave her a sweet smile. He said his good-byes to his friends and went to sit next to Piper.

"Hi," he said.

Piper gave him a shy smile and replied, "Hi."

There was an awkward silence. However, Michael decided to break it. "How are your classes going so far?"

"I've only taken one so far. But it was ok. The professor seems nice. What about you?" She was a little nervous but it didn't show.

"My classes are good. I took Spanish II, and Cognitive Theory." He couldn't help but keep smiling at her. 'She's so pretty,' he thought.

"I take it your majoring in Psychology?" she asked.

He smiled yet again. "Yep. What about you?"

Piper smiled nervously. "I'm undecided yet. I don't really know what I want to do yet."

"It's understandable. You've got the whole year to figure it out. I'm a junior now, though technically this is just my second year." He waited for Piper to reply, but the professor walked in and began to speak. They both just smiled at each other and listened to the professor. Truth be told, Piper couldn't stop sneaking glances towards Michael's way. For some reason, she liked looking at his dark spiked hair. And Michael couldn't stop thinking about how lucky he was to have found a perfect candidate.
