Chapter Three: School

Paris finished her wheat pancakes that Piper had made her for her first day at school. Leo had orbed to get her schedule so she would know where to go, when she had put her dishes in the sink. He returned with it, and gave it to her.

"It's seven!" Paige yelled from the stairway.

"I 'm going, bye everyone." Paris said as she shimmered to the porch, unfortunately Paige orbed to the porch as well did Leo, Her mom and Piper came out the door. "Whoops." She said as she realized what she had done.

"No powers." Phoebe chastised.

"I know, I know. Walk don't shimmer. No energy balls, no levitating. I know." She stated.

"Hey, look over there." Paige pointed at the boy from next door, who was getting into his car.

"No, Paige." Phoebe told her with a frown.

"Mom, its okay." Paris said, walking away. When she got to the bus stop, they saw the car stop, and Paris got in. She waved to them and they waved back.

"Didn't we tell her not to take rides from strangers?" Phoebe asked worried.

"It's okay. Besides if she does get into trouble she can take care of herself." Piper told her comfortingly. "She has powers."

"Yeah, and if he hits on her, and she doesn't want to go far she can just shimmer out of there." Paige said jokingly. Phoebe just gave her a deadly glare.

Paris studied the boy; he must have been her age. He had brown hair and brown eyes. He was very handsome. His name was Toby Williams.

"So you just moved in?" he asked her.

"Yeah, I'm living with my mom, aunts, uncle and nephew." She said happily.

"What's it like there? I mean there's rumors that strange things go on there. Some say its haunted." He told her.

She looked at him blankly "Nope it's not haunted, perfectly normal." She said as convincingly as possible.

"Oh." He replied, "To bad." she didn't know if that was a good answer or not.

"What do you mean?" She was curious.

"Well, there seems to be tons of commotion in that house. Weird things, like it's always being damaged, or there are shouts and stuff at night." He told her.

"Oh." She replied; she knew exactly what he was talking about. But, she wasn't about to say 'Yeah, we fight demons, that's what your hearing and that's why the house gets damaged.'

They had entered into the school parking lot, and Toby parked the car.

"Do you know where these classes are?" She asked him as they walked to the entrance of the large building.

He read the sheet of paper, "Yeah, you have first period with me and some other classes." He smiled at her "I'll show you around, if that's okay with you?"

She smiled happily "Of course that's okay, besides you're the only person I know."

"I doubt it'll stay that way for long." Toby told her, as they walked along the hallway.

"Do I need to do anything before class?"

"Not that I know of, the teach will help you out with the rest."

"Oh." she replied "What class are we going to?" She looked around timidly, she felt more than slightly out of place.

"Government, with the bitchy Mrs. Watson."

Paris didn't like the sound of that. She didn't really want to be here, and she didn't think an evil teacher was going to make her feel any better. But, that's life for you. Paris followed Toby into the classroom, and he motioned for her to take a seat beside him. Not long after she had sat down some other students came in and sat near her and Toby. There was a blonde haired girl who came up to Toby and gave him a kiss, and sat in front of him. There was a red haired girl with her as well, who was holding hands with a boy with spiky blonde hair. Also two other boys came and sat with them. They all greeted Toby, and Paris felt ackward, they didn't seem like her type of people. Also she didn't like the way that one girl was acting toward Toby. ^^Stop it Paris, he doesn't belong to you. Besides you just met, and just because Paige said he watched you doesn't mean he's interested.^^ When they had all seated they turned and looked at Paris, rather rudely she thought.

"Tiffany this is Paris, Paris Tiffany." The blonde girl gave her a fake smile. Then he gestured to the others. The red head was Lisa, the spiky haired boy was Matt, and the other two guys were Simon, and Eddy. The guys seemed a little nicer than the girls, but she was going to try not to make up her mind about them before she met them. Living with demons caused one to do that.

"Paris?" Tiffany asked her eyebrow arched. "What kind of name is that?"

Paris looked at her blankly, she liked her name. Before she could answer Toby said "I like Paris it's unique." He smiled.

"Well, you would." Lisa retorted, and turned around in her chair to listen to the teacher. Paris decided to do so as well.

Mrs. Watson noticed a new face "Hello, you must be Paris Turner."

Paris nodded.

"Welcome to my class." She said with hardly any expression. The woman was old; she had those glasses that looked three inches thick. She had silver gray hair pulled tightly back into a bun. She noticed Mrs. Watson staring at her intensely.

"You look familiar? Did your parents go here?" Mrs. Watson asked.

"I'm not sure, ahh.did you have a Phoebe Hallowell? Or maybe Piper?" Paris answered.

Mrs. Watson's eyes narrowed, Paris was surprised she could even see with those things on. The teacher's face turned sour. "Tell Piper I said hello, she was a sweet girl. Now Phoebe is another story. I'm guessing that Phoebe's your mother because you have an almost uncanny resemblance to her."

"Thanks.I think." Paris said; she guessed her mom wasn't a star student.

"And let's hope you're not anything like your mother." Mrs. Watson added as she turned to her desk and sat down. "Class please open your books to page 211, and start outlining it." Mrs. Watson got up from her desk to write the assignment on the board then went to the cabinet in the room and pulled out a book. She walked to Paris's desk and handed the book to her. Paris just nodded in response. Mrs. Watson then sat down again and did something Paris couldn't quite make out. The people beside her began to talk quietly. Paris decided to not to join in the conversation figuring that Mrs. Watson already had it out for her, sense she told her about her mom.

+ + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +

The bell rang and the students left the classroom. She exited the classroom not sure what to do, it was Lunch and she didn't know who to sit with, and she didn't think she wanted to sit with Toby and his friends. Toby was nice to her but she couldn't share that sentiment about the others. She walked toward the cafeteria, and she was walking in a hallway filled with teenagers. She wished she could just shimmer and get where she had to, but no. She wasn't allowed to use her powers.

"Watch it!" A girl yelled as Paris bumped into her. She had not been watching where she was going and she now found herself face to face with a girl and her friends.

"I'm sorry." Paris apologized.

The girl surprisingly smiled at her "S'okay. You're new around here?" Paris nodded. "Well, I'm Hope, this is Whinny." She gestured to a blonde haired girl with a blue tee-shirt on. "And this is Guy." She gestured to a boy with jet black hair. They smiled at her.

"I'm Paris Turner." She smiled.

"I love your name." The girl named Whinny commented with a smile.

"Thanks." Paris smiled back.

"Well, I'm guessing you have no clue where you're going so why don't you come and sit with us?" Guy told her, he was good looking and looked really strong.

"That'd be great." Paris said happily. They all walked to the cafeteria and sat at a white table.

At lunch she had actually had a decent conversation for the first time with more than one person her age. They seem really nice, and told her all she should know, like the cliques, evil teachers, etc. Unfortunately, Paris had found out that Toby was a very popular guy at this school, and Guy, Whinny, and Hope didn't like him very much. She had told them that he had driven her to school and he lived next door to her. They told her just to be careful because he went out with Ms. Popularity, and she could be hung for even glancing at him in the wrong way. After lunch she went to her other classes, which she found Whinny, Guy, and Hope in to her delight. When the bell rang at the end of the day, she walked outside with them talking with them like they had known each other forever.

"So, do you need a ride?" Whinny asked her as she got into her car.

"No, that's okay, I think I'll walk." She told her.

"You sure?" Guy asked hoping in the back.

Paris nodded and they left. Now she was left to decide if she could shimmer back or just walk. She decided that walking was a better idea sense she couldn't find any place that was hidden from view. She walked on the sidewalk thinking of the days events. After some time she realized she had no clue where she was going and kicked a tree in frustration.

"What did it do to you?" A familiar voice asked jokingly. She turned to see Toby in his car smiling at her. Luckily no one was in the car with him, so she didn't feel like she should give him a rude retort.

"Need a ride?" He asked.

Paris nodded and got into the car.

"So how did you like school?" Toby asked after he had started driving down the street.

"It's okay. I still don't see why I need to go." She replied forgetting that he had no clue what she meant.

"I hear ya." He sighed. "It's so boring."

Paris nodded. She didn't know what to say, he was in her last class, but she had been with Guy, Whinny and Hope, and he and his friends were there. So he hadn't really said much to her except smiled at her and waved. She felt a little hurt, but didn't expect much, she was the new girl after all.

He watched her every now and then while he drove, making sure she was still there. He liked her, but was in a relationship at the moment, and he didn't exactly know how to get out of it. He was instantly attracted to Paris from the moment he had saw her in her garden. He wanted to talk to her but hadn't been able to think of anything to say.

"Hey, ahhh." He began "I was having some trouble with that outline in Government class and I was wondering if you would come over tonight and help me with it?" He prayed that she would say yes.

Excitement fell over her entire being "Sure." she smiled "What time?"

"How does six sound?" He asked, happy that she would be coming. He had no intention of hitting on her or anything, well he wanted to. But, he knew that he hardly knew her and he was dating at the moment but he still really liked her. He wanted to dump Tiffany anyway, she was boring always talking about people, and clothes, besides Paris seemed mysterious and very interesting.

Before he knew it they had reached her house. Paris got out of Toby's car, and got her stuff.

"See you tonight then?" she said as she walked toward the house.

"Yes ma'am." He smiled and she walked to the door and walked inside. After she had closed the door she leaned against and smiled happily. Unfortunately her moment wouldn't last long. She was bombarded with questions from everyone. Apparently Paige, and her mom had gotten off of work early to greet her.

"How was school?" Paige asked excitedly.

"Fine." Paris smiled.

Phoebe was looking out the window at the car that had just left. "Was that the boy from next door?" she arched an eyebrow.

"Yes, and I'm going to his house at six to help him with some work." She said innocently.

"Sure." Piper said slyly.

"That's all." Paris told them matter-off-factly "He is taken, so we are just friends."

"Oh." Phoebe said a little shocked. ^^Is she not good enough for him? He definitely isn't good enough for her.^^

"Anyway." Paris said changing the subject. "I have to do some homework." She told them and shimmered upstairs to her bedroom.
