"Hey four eyes! How you doing today?" hollered an unidentified voice from behind Piper, she ignored it and continued walking. Geeze I thought that once you cam to high school the insult "four eyes" was well behind you she though as she climbed the four steps up to the foyer past of her high school. Piper's mousy brown hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, with a plain black hair tie. She was wearing a pair of washed out looking jeans with a patch on the knee and a white T-Shirt with a blue blouse over the top of it. Then on her make-up less face she wore her glasses, they were large and round, with blue frames and rather thick lenses. Though not milk bottle thick, she walked inside and headed for her locker. She past Courtney Reynolds, the local blonde bimbo and head cheerleader. She and Courtney knew each other before Piper had moved to high school, Courtney and Prue used to be friends until Courtney stole the head cheerleading spot from Prue. Prue always acted like the spot was hers even though she got vice captain she hated being second to Courtney so she resigned. Piper looked up at Courtney and smiled hoping that she wouldn't be taunted as per usual but her hopes were dashed when she saw the sly look on Courtney's face. She quickened her pace in an attempt to get to her first class without being teased by the popular girl and guys. Courtney walked up to Piper and placed her arm round her shoulder,
"Hi Piper," she said in a fake excited voice, Piper stood staring at the ground,
"I'm fine," she said quickly hoping to get away; she tried to push Courtney's arm away but failed.
"That's good, listen I just want to apologise for teasing you yesterday, you know ti was just a bit of fun," she giggled leading Piper over to her group,
"Sure," said Piper ignoring everything she was saying, "A bit of fun,"
"And you know that we all really like you," this was the only part of the conversation that caught Piper's attention, she and Courtney had always gotten along quite well when Courtney used to visit Prue. They were always laughing and joking, Piper lifted her head for the first time
"Really?" she asked hopefully.
"Yes," said Courtney in a cunning, slow tone, "As much as we like a hole in the head!" she screamed and pushed Piper down. Piper hit the cold hard ground with a thud and her bag went flying, all her books spilling out. "Come on guys, let's get out of here… you never know LOSER might be contagious or something," said Courtney taking her friends away, suddenly Piper heard the bell ring. She quickly gathered her things and headed for her first class though she was in no hurry to get there. She walked in to find everyone had already taken their seats; she walked over to an empty seat and sat down. She began to unpack her things and get ready for the lesson to start when she saw Courtney walking towards her - though Courtney was two years older than most of the students in this class a few of the older pupils were allowed to take easier subjects because of extra curricular activities, Piper had always thought that it was the schools was of giving the pretty students an easy way out – she dared not to look up pretended she was searching for something in her bag when Courtney walked past. She pushed her hips out to the side as she went causing Piper's desk to be knocked and her books to fall to the ground. Piper sighed and began to pick them up,
The day continued much the same, just another day in the life of Piper Halliwell.
