Chapter 4: Friends.

Disclaimer: No owning of charmed going on over here, try over there

A/N: chapter 4 is here once again it is really late at night/early morning- however you want to look at it and I can't sleep. What better way to get thoughts off your brain than to write?

Thanks for your reviews, I know its been short so far but I'm still getting into the story myself and it will be longer soon.

Leo woke up to the normal, annoying sounds of his alarm clock. Yet again it wouldn't shut up so he buried it under his pillows. It usually wore itself out after a few minutes. It was Monday morning again. Meaning another lonely day of school. He got up and climbed out of bed, opening his curtains and looking out of the windows in the hope that some freak blizzard had occurred during the night causing the closure of school. This was unlikely considering it was the middle of April and the city was currently experiencing a heatwave. He found a clear sky with sunlight pouring into his room, forcing him to close his eyes. He hadn't adjusted to being awake yet.

He got dressed grabbed his books and shoved them into his bag without even watching what he was doing before quickly getting dressed and snatching a slice of toast and rushing out the door. He was determind not to be late to school for once.

Even after all of his trouble he still somehow managed to miss the bus and would have to walk the full twenty seven blocks to school. He sometimes thought the whole world was just one big conspiracy against him. Nothing short of a miracle would save him now.

A car with tinted widows was driving next to him. He didn't even notice for the first block. 'Oh great, are they waiting to catch me off guard so they can throw something at me?' he thought. Just as the driver lowering the windows he saw Piper sitting in the passenger seat of what appeared to be Prue's car.

"Want a lift?" Piper asked casually. Leo looked at Prue to see if the offer was genuine but she turned away. Piper noticed this glance. "it's fine don't worry. Get in." she said reaching her hand over and opening the door for him. Leo got in and sat next to Phoebe on the back seat. Phoebe kept looking at Leo and then to Piper. This made Leo feel uneasy but they were at school quickly.

Leo walked out of the car but somehow got his leg stuck in the seatbelt and instead of walking out cooly, ended up flat on the ground with his legs still sticking out of the car door. The whole school turned to laugh at him. Phoebe stifled a laugh while Prue was looking like she wanted to kill him. She was hoping that he would get out and into school without anybody noticing he had even been in her car.

"Oh this is so bad for my rep" Prue said holding her hands over her eyes to hide her shame.

Piper helped Leo up.

"Thanks." He said brushing himself down. He tried to thank Prue for the ride but this would mean she would actually have to aknowledge his existance.

"So thanks" He began.

"Listen, freak" Prue spoke not even turning her face to Leo "Just because my sister feels sorry for you and has joined some sort of 'help the losers' program does not make me your new best pal! You got that?" she finally looked in his direction at the last few words, slamming her book on the car roof and walking away to meet her friends.

Piper and Leo walked down the halls to home room.

"So this is what school looks like before nine huh?" Leo tried to make conversation knowing full well that neither of them had forgotten what had just happened and probably wouldn't for quite some time.

"Yeah" she laughed walking through the people who were still laughing and whispering. "Hey um I'm sorry about Prue, shes a real bitch sometimes but shes cool once you get to know her. You'll learn to love her. And just for the record" they stopped walking. "I'm not just being you're friend out of pitty" she smiled and they continued walking.

"OK that's nice to know. I'm glad bitchiness doesn't run in the family" Leo smiled back and opened the door to the classroom before the bell rang.

She had called him her friend. He couldn't believe it. He had been wondering the same thing himself and thought Prue had a point. Hearing those words from Piper's own mouth without being forced, made his heart jump. Maybe there was something about him that people could like afterall. Three years of bullying had ruined the little self confidence that he did have in himself.

Leo and Piper were in every lesson together that day and sat in their normal spaces. The day flew by being able to talk to her. It was the first day in his high school life that he could ever remember not being picked on.

There ya go that's all youre getting. I would write more but I cant actually think of anything… but if you're lucky you will get a whole new chapter soon, which I promise WILL be longer.
