CHAPTER 8:

Phoebe smiled as she got out of Coop's car that was until she walked right into Cole.

'Oh I see you've found a new guy then, so I was wrong your not interested in me."

Cole glared at her, disappointment clear in his eyes.

"Actually, Coop was just giving me a ride to school, because Madison and Libby were unable to….." She looked up at Coop as he walked ahead, "Thanks Coop, you're a real sweetie." He smiled at her and walked on. Phoebe turned back to Cole, "Anyway, you mister who claim to like me so much you couldn't touch me at a certain party not so long ago, were lying out on the field, giving Libby foot rubs yesterday, but I got over it."

"Yeah, you went over to Andy's house and did God knows what…."

Phoebe stopped him shocked, she brushed held her hand up over his mouth, "Excuse me, are you spying on me now….. do you think you're my owner, am I a dog, cos last time I checked I was a free girl, not your girl, and I can talk to whom ever I like Cole."

Cole shocked at her response, held up his hands, "I don't mean no disrespect, but everyone saw you drive off from school with Andy at lunch yesterday and you guys never returned, and with your reputation, I thought, well I……"

Phoebe was getting more and more mad, and Cole could tell her was getting himself into a problem.

"With my reputation, what are you trying to tell me Cole, what do you mean, c'mon explain it to me, I'm a big girl."

"Well, you know, your known for, well you know at parties you get drunk and do stuff with guys……"

"So I'm a slut now am I."

"Ye….no…. no that isn't what I'm saying…….. oh crap I've dug myself into a hole now haven't I."

Phoebe growled at him and walked away fuming, her hands clenched into tight fists

As she was walking across the quad when she bumped into Heather, who was about to speak, but after looking at Phoebe decided not to and walked with her instead to their lockers, which were side by side.

At the lockers they saw Chelsea.

"Hey Chelsea." Heather sing songed.

"Hey, look I'm trying to stay calm, Libby called me earlier and she is in a mood, she is gonna create a storm, I hate it when she is like that."

Heather nodded and pointed at Phoebe, before whispering,

"Yeah, her too."

"Don't whisper or point behind my bag girls, jeez."

"Sorry Pheebs." They replied, before giggling, Phoebe giggled too and then Chelsea dragged them all into the girl's room to discuss the cutie she had met the night before.

Their conversation was soon interrupted, when Libby stormed into the room and slammed her bag down on the counter.

"Guess what guys, Andy was away from school all yesterday afternoon, and his neighbor didn't see him leave his house, however he did see two Halliwell girls leave at about 10pm."

She turned to glare at Phoebe, "You being one of them Phoebe, so would you like to tell me what you were doing from 1 to 10 with the guy you knew I liked."

Phoebe smiled, "Sure, we watched some DVD's and had a bit of wine, and his Mom cooked me, Andy and Prue some dinner, his Mom and him are family friends, didn't you know?"

Libby looked annoyed, Heather smiled, "Yeah I remember him and Prue were bets friends before, they used to prank us all the time as kids remember, when they painted my Barbie blue, I was so mad, and Grams didn't do anything, cos she used to always take Andy's side, she thought he was an angel." Heather and Phoebe laughed.

Libby smoothed her hair out of her face and took out her lip-gloss, "Oh, well, that's good."

"Don't you mean, sorry Phoebe for doubting you as a friend." Phoebe said smugly.

Libby smiled fakely, "I have a class to get to, c'mon Chelsea." The two of them linked arms and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Heather and Phoebe to fall about in hysterics, that was funny, Libby always got so frazzled, silly girl.

"So what was up with you earlier Pheebs?"

Phoebe sighed, "Oh, it was Cole, he just called me a slut."

"What….. He did what?"

"I know, I know, I was shocked to, I thought he liked me." Phoebe pouted into the mirror.

"He does like you, are you sure he said that, did he out rightly say Phoebe you're a slut?"

Phoebe shook her head, "No, but he said stuff about how I have a reputation and how I get drunk and get with guys and stuff….. It was horrible Heather."

Heather sighed and patted Phoebe on the back, "He probably didn't mean it, Cole can be kinda bad with words, yh know."

Phoebe smiled and nodded, and grabbed Heather's hand after looking at her watch and realizing they were late for class.
