Piper and Leo's PoV

Walking home Piper was trying to get her head around everything that was going on in her life, how was she going to be able to get out of this? Leo was the coolest guy in school and she was just her! She would be picked on like mad if she did do it but then again she had already accepted the tutoring position, she hadn't really thought about it, except the fact that it would look good on a college application. What was she thinking accepting? Oh yeah college! Hah at this rate she would die of embarrassment before she got to college. What would he think of her? Besides the usual geek, nerd and so on. Sure she was still classified as that but she didn't look like that anymore this was her last year and she had, had her braces off and her acne had cleared right up, if anything it was that made her geek it would be two things her clothes and her reputation. They all knew what she use to be and they would never let her live it down. Come think of it no one had come up to her called her names, well that was until they heard her name called on the register and then they were even more baffled when she answered even Missy had surprised, even more to the point of it she was really quiet which was really weird. But that had all changed when she heard that Leo had broken up with her, then that was when she knew she would be in for it big when Missy heard she was tutoring her ex. And it had by the end of the day, she was feeling as her normal-school self. And back again it was focused on her jeans, what was it with them? She got bored easy it was her fault, drawing on her jeans was just something to do. So what, it none of their business what she did anyway! And that was last year she like her new jeans she wasn't going to that, and even if she did then that would be later in the year. Idiots.

Looked like no one was in again Prue was probably with Andy, and as for Phoebe … she had no idea. Leo would here at 6.00pm she thought to herself dryly. I better get a shower I don't want him accusing me that I'm unhygienic, after all I am Piper Halliwell. You never know what they'll think, she though as she dumped her bag on the kitchen table and jumped every two steps up the stairs. Pulling her hair out of her bun she took off her new jeans and flowery top, and turned on the hot water to the shower. She felt free in the hot shower as if she could do anything, if only she could felt like that all the time … she would be unstoppable. Stepping out of the shower the dense air chilled her skin. She just couldn't help but think of the issue with the clothes she wore, she had some nice clothes not that hideous flowery top but different ones. During the summer Prue had took her out shopping she wanted her- what was it again oh yeah- to have some glory. And the clothes she had got did exactly that to her figure. She put her underwear and her jeans back on, right that top is gonna have to go if Prue had found out she wore that one to school today she would blow a hissy fit. Walking across the hall bare foot she went to her room. She rummaged though her draws. This black one would do, after all it wasn't a special occasion.

This was so going to hurt his reputation Leo thought to himself as he approached Prescott street. He was suppose to studying the play Romeo and Juliet he had found out. That was the only way to redeem himself as what his form teacher had said as a capable student her word not his he thought ruefully. Sure his year had studied Romeo and Juliet last year, so it should be easy but then again there was a reason he was here and now Piper Halliwell would know more then him. But then again this was why he was here. He got such a load that day even Missy had took time out her busy post-breaking up session to snigger and giggle in the corner while she stood in the corner with her little lost sheep. He had hush him self up otherwise he would have blown his top, and all he needed was to get into something like and his current grade situation he would off the wrestling team quicker than a cheetah after it's prey. 'DDDDDDIIIIIIINNNNNGGGGGGG DDDDDDOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNGGGGGGG' time to get to work, where was she now?

"Damn he's here" She thought as skipped down the stairs. Opening the door, she saw Leo.

"Hi" he said as he saw her open the door wide showing an arm indicating him to come. She was different to what he remembered, the last time he saw her she had zits and train tracks, and not to mention hair like a bush. But now it was kinda scary the transformation that had happened over the summer that it didn't seem so bad her tutoring him. God it made him think how she must be coping at school she would be picked on for trying to fit in, aw he'd hate that. Sitting down in the living room, he noticed all the books on the table. All of them were related somehow to Romeo and Juliet, she really was a brain box.

He hadn't changed a bit, unless getting more handsome meant he had changed, she thought as she reached for the play book, his blond hair seem to glimmer in the light he truly was a beautiful person.

"Romeo Montague was a rich noble man…" That's all Leo hear he soon drowned out of the lesson, not only because of his opinion it was boring but he could stopping looking at Piper she had changed so much and he was sure it was for the better not only for his reputation but for her's too. "Understand?" Breaking his chain of thought, he hadn't listened to a word she had said.

"Um could you please explain it again, you know just to put it in better" Good recovery he thought.

"Yeah, of course" She knew he hadn't listened she could tell, but what she couldn't figure out was what had trailed him so far. Any way he had certainly come up with a good excuse for her to repeat what she had said.

"…You know what, maybe it would sink it in more if you read it." she said as she leant over his lap towards the character profile book she had.

She had the most beautiful hair, with the most incredible smell it smelt of fresh strawberries. And as she leant over him he could just slightly feel her breasts brush against his knees- stop thinking about this Leo, he thought to himself. If you don't you going to end up getting into big trouble.

He had seemed nervous to her, but she could think what was so bad was he embarrassed that she- the geek leaned over him, stupid Piper she thought come on lets start talking end this awful silence.

"In there.." she started "You should find …" Leo could help but focus on those lips they was so … "detailed descriptions of the characters" She said as she handing him the book.

"To fully do well in a play presentation first you need to know what the characters are about, it is key to understanding the play"

He just stuck his head in and started to read, he soon realised that if he was going to read this he'd have to do it at home in the comfort of his bed. And maybe- no Leo don't even think about it. Piper could see his mind had drifted off the book, his eyes were rising to hers she had to talk this silence it was killing her, this tension was killing her.

"So how have you been lately?"

Maybe she had noticed his interest in the book was drowning. "Fine"

"I heard you broke up from your girlfriend, Missy, is that right?"

Oh my god he couldn't believe she just said that, for someone that acted non-confident she was excelling fast. A quiet rage was building up in him, the nosey bitch! How dare she.

"What's it to YOU!" he said rising out of the couch

"I'm sorry I was just-"

"Just being a nosey cow, that were you were doing"

How dare he talk to her like that if there was anything she had learned of Prue it was not to put up with that she had done it in the past and she had, had enough!

"Well if that's what you think you can go, and don't forget to read the book" She said shoving the book into his hands. Walking to the door she opened it. Leo stropped out of the door. Turing round she though he wanted to say something to her, well tuff she wasn't in the mood, as he started she slammed the door in his face.

"GOOD NIGHT TO YOU TOO!" he shouted as he left, still clutching the thin book rolled up in his hand.
