A/N: Thanks for the reviews, I would like more though! : )

Bree, I never even considered what they were like back in High School according to the show. I guess I couldn't remember. Anyway, just imagine you never heard anything about it!

"You complete this assignment, and you'll be one of the most respected demons in the Underworld. And that's quite an achievement for a half breed demon that has yet to grow up." The demon said lounging comfortably on Cole's couch.

Cole glared at him from the other side of the room. "I still don't understand why this assignment is so important . ." Cole started.

"Because they will grow up to be the all powerful Charmed Ones. Better to stem the flow of magic now, don't you think?" The demon grinned.

Cole didn't return his smile. "It'll be too easy. . ."

Phoebe rolled over in bed. She opened her eyes and stared through the dark room. Rolling over again, she groaned and kicked off the sheet that was covering her. She threw her legs off the side of the bed, and sighed.

"Such an annoying guy. . ." She mumbled to herself. But if so annoying, why was she unable to get him off her mind. She fumbled through the darkness for her discman. Putting the headphones firmly over her ears, she pressed play. She lay down, trying her best to concentrate solely on the music. Once again she found the image of Cole pop up in her mind. She groaned once more, before increasing the volume, to the point where her ears could barely take it. Giving a triumphant smile, she closed her eyes again. "So very annoying. . ."

Phoebe rushed down the stairs in an attempt to be on her way home by the time the crowds began to appear. She had gotten out of class early, which was fortunate, as she was trying to avoid any possible confrontation with Cole or her sisters. She crossed the street and began briskly walking in the direction of the manor. She stopped abruptly as she saw Cole standing on the opposite side of the road, surrounded by a hoard of girls. It seemed that Cole and his fan club had gotten out of class early too. She started walking again, trying to avoid eye contact. But her eyes were once again drawn to Cole. She was glad to see that he didn't seem to be enjoying his predicament.

'Serves him right, the pig." She mumbled. A breath caught in her throat as his eyes met hers. She looked away and sped up her pace. Cole fumbled and pushed to free himself of the crowd. With one last gasp of air he pulled himself free and somewhat sprinted towards Phoebe. Pulling up in step with her he ran a hand through his hair.

"Hey." He said, as though he had just met her by chance. Phoebe hesitated.

"Hi." She replied, somewhat bitterly.

"You want a ride home?" He asked after a few seconds. Phoebe stopped and faced him.

"You drive?" She asked, surprised. Cole stopped.

"Uhuh. Not a very good car, but a car none the less." Cole replied, flashing her a smile. Phoebe scolded herself inwardly for contemplating his offer.

"No!" She exclaimed loudly. She began walking, annoyed to hear his footsteps also begin again. "Is there a reason you're following me?"

"Yes, there is." Cole stated, alarming Phoebe. Once again she stopped.

"Well?" She questioned. Cole looked away for a second before suddenly glancing back at her. Phoebe couldn't help but stare back at him, noticing his dark eyes. It was as though they were longing to be searched. She looked away.

"I was wondering if you would like to--" Cole started.

"No." Phoebe interrupted, as she started walking again. Cole frowned before following her.

"You don't even know what I was going to say!" He said loudly.

"You were going to ask me out." Phoebe said, rolling her eyes.

"No I wasn't." Cole said. Phoebe turned around frowning.

"Oh yeah?" She asked, not easily fooled.

"Yeah." Cole said. "I was going to ask you if. . ." He paused for a second. Phoebe gave him a triumphant smile. He sighed in defeat. "Why not?"

"Because I'm not interested in you. . .that way." Phoebe replied, suddenly in a much better mood.

"Don't give me that. I saw you staring at me since the first moment you saw me." Cole taunted. Phoebe glared at him, her good mood lost.

"I was checking to see if you would last in this hell hole." She said bitterly. She quickly resumed her pace. Cole hurried to keep up.

"Have you ever gone out with anyone before?" Cole asked suddenly.

"I fail to see how that's any of your business." Phoebe replied coldly.

"I guess that answers my question." Cole replied smugly. "My theory is that you don't want to take a chance with me because you've never taken a chance with anyone." Phoebe hesitated.

"Well, your theory's wrong." She said, not stopping.

"Is it? I think you're too scared to let go of your effortless life and take a chance on something else." Cole said. He almost collided with Phoebe as she stopped unexpectedly and spun around.

"Don't think you know anything about me." She said firmly. "You don't."

"Why are you getting so worked up about it?" Cole asked, fighting to keep the guilt from entering his mind.

"Why won't you just leave me alone!?" Phoebe shouted. She spun around.

"Okay! I will." He said, not following her. Once again she spun around.

"You do that." She replied.

"I will, only if you go out with me." Phoebe opened her mouth to say something, but he interrupted. "One date, and then I'll be out of your life forever." Phoebe looked away.

"Fine!" She gave in. Cole smiled.

"Eight O'clock then. I'll pick you up."

"Tonight?" Phoebe asked annoyed.

"My terms." He said smugly. "Don't worry, I've asked around. I know where you live. Dress casual." With that he turned around and left Phoebe behind. She clenched her fists.

"So very. . .very annoying." She muttered.
