Phoebe and Paige walked into school, well not together, Phoebe had insisted that Paige walk ten feet behind her, and Paige didn't argue because she was still mad at Phoebe for this morning.
Paige was suffering from a major hangover and Prue yelling at her this morning didn't help one bit.
She finally reached her locker, she went to put her books away when she felt someone put their hands over her eyes.
"Guess who,"
"Glenn, I am not in the mood,"
"Come on Paige, don't be such a downer," Glenn teased finally taking his hands off of her eyes.
Paige turned to face him, his hair was nicely gelled so that it spiked up in the front, he wore a pair of jeans and green t-shirt that had 'goofballs rule!' written in big white letters in the front. Normally Paige would laugh at the stupid shirt, but today she just wasn't in the mood, "I don't understand," Paige pointed accusingly to Glenn, "You drank just as much as I did last night, how can you be so… perky?"
Glenn just laughed and took Paige's books out of her locker, Glenn had memorized her schedule, so he knew exactly what books to take, "It's called coffee,"
"Ya well, my sisters won't let me drink coffee," Paige pouted and closed her locker violently.
"That's why I don't have sisters," Glenn smiled and held out his arm, Paige smiled back, she could always count on Glenn to cheer her up, she put her arm through his and they began walking to math class.
Phoebe got into the school and turned around to see Paige already at her locker, talking to Glenn. Phoebe walked over to where her friends were blabbing about last nights party.
"Hey," Phoebe exclaimed to the group, she had a very interesting taste for friends. There was Kayla, she was the leader of the pack, the one who made the plans, and started the trends. Then there were her to followers, Vanessa and Janie, who were to stuck up to have their own personalities.
For the boys, there was Dylan, he was hot but he was also a jerk, he hit on Phoebe a lot, but he never got further then a kiss unless she was drunk.
Than there was Seth, he was cute, and mysterious, he was a few years older than the rest of the group, and if he actually cared about school, he would be in college by now. He never hit on Phoebe, and it killed her to know why. She always had a little crush on him, probably because he was off-limits, Prue would kill her if she ever dated him.
"Hey babe, missed you last night," Dylan grabbed Phoebe by her waist and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"I would say that I missed you to but I'd be lying," Phoebe pulled away in disgust.
"So feisty this morning," he teased, "I like it,"
"Keep it in your pants Dylan," Kayla joked, Vanessa and Janie laughed so hard Phoebe thought they might explode. "Why weren't you at the party last night?" Kayla asked in her, I told you to do something and you didn't do it tone, "I thought that you were going to meet us there,"
"Ya well I had other plans," She didn't, she just wasn't in the mood to go, she wasn't feeling well last night and just stayed home to watch tv.
"Well what about tonight?" Dylan proposed seductively, "Nick's having a party and everyone's going to be there."
"How about you?" Phoebe asked turning to Seth, Seth never answered to anyone, when he wanted to talk, that's when he would talk to you, but Phoebe liked to play with his limits.
"I might make an appearance," Seth answered as he lit up a smoke, "anyone?" he offered out his pack, Kayla took three and handed one to Vanessa and Janie and Dylan grabbed one too. Seth then passed out his lighter to the group and they all lit up.
Phoebe hesitated, she didn't really smoke, her and Paige would light up sometimes when they were stressed but that was it.
"Hey freebie, do you want one or not?"
"Shove it Dylan," Phoebe snapped, she hated being called by her nick name, she had been given it last year after she was caught under the bleachers going at it with her old boyfriend Jimmy who was now somewhere in New Jearsey, he moved last summer with his family so him and Phoebe broke up, Phoebe grabbed a cigarette and lit up.
"Phoebe, you gonna meet us there or are you gonna bail again?" Kayla asked, holding the lit cigarette in between her fingers.
Phoebe hesitated and thought to herself Prue would never alow it, but she would probably be paying to much attention to Paige to notice. "Ya i'll be there," Phoebe answered and she put the cigarrette in her mouth again.
The bell rang put the group still chatted, no one moved.
"What do you kids think you are doing," Phoebe turned to see the vice principal, standing before them. No one answered. "There is no smoking on school property, and you are all late for class," he scolded holding out his hand. The six teens all put out their cigarrettes and handed them to him, he closed his hand and continued his scolding, "Detention this friday, all of you," They all sighed and grunted, "Now get to class!" he then turned and stormed off.
"Hey kids, i'm the vice principal, I shower once a month and havn't had sex in 20 years" Dylan mocked in his best grown man voice.
The six laughed walked off in different directions to their classes, Phoebe was late again, but who really cared, it's only psychology, when would she ever use that?
Prue practically jumped out of her car and ran into the museum, she was late, again, and her boss was going to kill her. She got to her office just in time to pick up the ringing phone.
"Museum of modern art," she answered in her best how can I help you tone.
"Prue?"
"Piper!" she scolded, she hated it when her sisters called her at work.
"Prue I'm sorry to call you at work, but um, I have a problem," Piper sounded guilty and nervous.
"What?"
"Um my midterm that was supposed to be tomorrow… It has been changed to this afternoon.
"What?"
"I'm sorry Prue but I can't miss this and someone has to pick up Phoebe and Paige, and watch them."
"Piper, my shift only ends at six," Prue stated as a mater-of-fact-ly.
"I know but this is my midterm, Prue, I can't miss it, please, please, please, please," Prue could almost picture Piper on her knees begging, Piper was so serious about school, Prue couldn't let her miss her midterm.
"Ok Piper, I will pick them up, and watch…"
"Miss Halliwell"
Prue turned to see her boss Mr. Herrington, leaning against the doorframe looking angry as ever.
"I gotta go, bye," Prue slammed the phone down and looked up at her boss, putting on a sweet smile.
"Social call?" he asked harshly.
"Mr. Herrington, you're looking marvelous today, did you lose weight," Prue complimented.
"You're late… again," He gave her a stern stare and she refused to meet his gaze.
"It's just that, I had to drive my sisters to school and we…"
"No excuses Prue, you've been late three times this week, it is unacceptable,"
"Yes sir, it uh, won't happen again," Prue hesitated, she still had to tell him that she had to leave early.
"It better not," he warned and took a step closer to her, "Now what is this about picking up your sisters from school?" Prue looked down at her shoes, "because that won't be possible, last time I checked, school ended before six o-clock."
"Mr. Herrington, I can't just make them walk home, plus Paige is grounded and I need to make sure…"
"Miss Halliwell, your shift ends at six, if you leave any earlier then I am afraid it will cost you your job," he warned and Prue tensed, she couldn't lose her job, she had to pay the bills, her sisters could walk home right? No, it would take hours, plus who knows what they will do tonight if someone isn't watching them.
"Their my sisters sir, I have to…" Prue tried to explain, but her boss just shook his head in disappointment.
"Pack up your things,"
"But Mr. Herrington…" Prue begged, getting up from her chair. She felt tears well up in her eyes.
"Miss Hallowell, pack up your things," he repeated, "If you are not committed to this job, than you don't deserve it." With that being said he walked out and closed the door behind him.
"Uhggg!" Prue fell back in her chair and put her head in her hands, the tears slowly falling down her face. Shit, shit, shit, shit! What was she going to do?
Well, there's chapter 2!
Review and tell me what you think.
