"Phoebe kept starring at the card. "What the hell was he thinking? There's no way on earth that I or my mom would ever let me go." She kept thinking that over and over. " Phoebe it's your turn to set the table!" Paige shouted from the kitchen. Phoebe shoved the card in her back pocket and flew down the stairs.

"Anyway, today Professor Grippling said that I might be able to get some help with chemistry so I can pass the exam!" "Wow Piper, that's wonderful" Patty said this to Piper really thinking about Phoebe. All during dinner Phoebe just stared up into space with a blank expression that revealed nothing. " Mom are you even listening?" " Uh, yes Piper. Please continue." "I don't want to. Mark said that he was taking me to the movies tonight and I want to be ready." "Okay Piper, just wash the dishes." Phoebe stood up from her seat and went upstairs to think.

"Well the time is 7:35 and the weather, nice sunny and a high of 64, perfect fall weather, here on WKYL The Beat." Phoebe shot up from her bed. " Oh no, no, no, no! It can't be!" She raced around her room and then flew down the stairs.

There was no one home, they all left, left her there. She grabbed a banana and walked out to the bus stop, but with her luck it left right before she got there. " Ugh, now they're gonna kill me." She thought. The teachers would kill her. She walked over to the bench and plopped down, with tears in her eyes. It was only the second day of school, more like hell, and her senior year was ruined.

Cole pulled out of the drive way, thinking if she had gotten the invite. He sort of wanted her to go, but didn't. The party was at his house and his mom and dad would totally freak if they had found out that she was there. He turned on the radio and started towards the school. No one cared if he was late, they were too afraid that he would tell his parents and they would fire them. No matter what he tried, he couldn't stop thinking if she had gotten the letter until he came across he sitting on the bench half crying. It broke his heart in a way, but he wasn't sure what to do. Should he ask her if she needed a ride but did he did she would probably scream her brains out, what if he did maybe she wouldn't be so mean anymore?

He pulled up to her and got out of the car. " Hey, need a ride?" Phoebe just starred at him, but this time in a nice way this time. " Yeah." Cole beckoned her over to the car and she got in.

"So, you can get to school twenty minutes late and no one will care?" "Yeah, it's cool." Cole parked the car and got out with Phoebe. They were only ten minutes late and it was a Study period, so no one would yell at them, more like not yell at Phoebe.

They walked into the Study Hall and Alexis looked up, smiling. "Hi! Hi! Over here!" Alexis pointed to her table. There were a lot of people sitting there and they looked up too. Most of them had surprised faces and just starred at Phoebe. One of the girls walked over to them, starred at Phoebe, disgusted. Then the girl took Cole's hand and kissed him. Phoebe's eyes started to burn with anger and they filled with tears. She walked over to an empty table and sat down. For the whole Study period she sat there thinking why in the hell she got so mad at the girl, which she now knew was Cole's girlfriend. He was one of them, but she still felt mad and jealous.

At the end of the period Alexis walked over to Phoebe's table, adjusted her glasses and glared at her. "What is with you Phoebe? You're acting weird!"
" It's nothing." Phoebe couldn't help but get up and stare at Cole, he was staring back. Alexis stood there, astonished. " Oh my god! You have the hots for Cole don't you!?" "No I don't! Why would I!?" "Well Phoebe it's weird how you keep starring at him, don't you think?" "No I don't think so! Why would I want to be with the guy whose mom killed my dad!?" Alexis' eyes started to fill with tears and she raced out of the Study Hall. " Alexis, wait!" Alexis didn't wait she just ran. " Ugh, like my day could get any worse."

It was almost the end of the school day and Phoebe was feeling great! Her teachers praised her for the wonderful work she had done on some review tests. She walked through the halls, people were talking and laughing. Phoebe walked up her locker when she saw a sign.

Twin Oaks Dance!
Today at 7:00-12:30 at the auditorium!
Be there and bring a date!

"Don't even think of going." Phoebe turned around and saw that girl, Cole's girlfriend. " I saw you this morning with Cole. You know he's my boyfriend and he will be forever. He's going to the dance with me and everyone else has a date, except you. So don't think of going you'll only embarrass yourself, Phoebe, is it?" "Yeah. Why?" "It's a stupid name." The girl walked away and Phoebe saw a name tag: Hayley Morris.

Phoebe turned away and her eyes filled up with tears. The girl was right, Phoebe was a stupid name and Cole would always be with her. She was pretty, blond hairs, blue eyes, skinny, cheerleader, perfect teeth, and no glasses. Then Phoebe thought of herself, brown hair, brown eyes, skinny, braces, glasses, and she wasn't a cheerleader, she wasn't popular. Why wouldn't Cole not want to stay with her?

When Phoebe got home, her mother had a huge smile on her face. Phoebe wondered why, today was a court day, the final one, the one that counted and her mom was smiling. "Guess what?" "What?" "We won! Well we beat the Turner's lawyers and we get our money back plus $150,000 more!" Phoebe was so happy, she felt like crying and she did. "And guess what else?" "What?" "Doctor Winthrop called, you get your braces off today, at 3:35! And I went to our eye doctor and he said to get you some contacts!" Phoebe was thrown back, today was her lucky day!

It was 4:37 and Phoebe looked at herself in the mirror. She looked way different, way prettier. She heard her mom downstairs and went down. " So what's this I hear about a dance?" "Oh nothing, just something for school."
"Well here." Her mom handed her a skirt and top, it was very pretty, and cool. It looked like the one she had liked in a magazine, it was it. " Mom, I." "No I's or buts Phoebe, you're going." "Thanks!" "You welcome."

Phoebe was all ready. She looked like a cheerleader, like someone popular and she liked it.

Phoebe was waiting for the bus when she saw Cole's car again.

Cole kept starring at Phoebe, not thinking it was really her. He pulled over and asked her if she needed a ride. Phoebe said yes and got in the car.

"I thought Hayley would be here." "Uh, she went with some friends." "Oh." The rest of the way was silence.

When they got there Hayley still hadn't showed up. They were both sitting at a table laughing and talking. Then Cole asked her to dance. Phoebe hesitated but then said okay, the music was upbeat anyway.
When they reached the dance floor the music had changed and it was slow. Cole put his arm around Phoebe. She stopped for second, she wasn't sure what was going on but then put her head on his shoulder and they started to dance.

Cole didn't know what he was doing. He was supposed to hate her but actually felt something else, a little more than a crush. Everything was perfect, they were dancing and talking until Hayley walked in and starred at them on the dance floor. Her eyes turned to fire and she headed straight for Phoebe.
