"You still haven't told me about any boys you met when you were in New York
for that week," Andy said. He was waiting outside Prue's home room with
her.
"It was one of my dad's business trips; I didn't meet any boys while I was there. I need to get into the classroom soon." The bell had already gone a couple of minutes ago, signally to the students to be in their home room.
"I'll see you, whenever I can. Hopefully we've got some lessons together," Andy said. He quickly left to get to his own home room as Prue entered hers.
Everyone was already in their seats; there was one seat un-occupied at the back which was Prue's. Being ordered alphabetically, Prue was always the last one as her surname began with a W.
"Name?" A teacher asked who was sitting behind the teacher's desk at the front of the room.
"Who are you? We're supposed to have Mr Carter," Prue said.
"Mr Carter is teaching 9th grade now. I will be your new home room teacher and I'll be teaching English Literature. Now what is your name?"
"Prue Webster."
"Ah yes Prudence Webster, you've got the last seat," Mr Leech, the new teacher said, looking at his list of students.
"What's your name?" Prue asked.
"Mr Leech. Now why are you late?"
"I wasn't late I was standing right outside the room."
"You should know by now that you need to come straight into home room when the bell goes. Now take your seat."
Prue sat at the desk, looking around the room. No one was talking; everyone seemed to be occupied with something. "Can we talk?" She asked.
"No, you should have a book with you to read until we are to go down for an assembly," Mr Leech replied.
"I didn't bring a book to read with me," Prue said.
"Just sit in silence then."
Piper's seat wasn't near Prue's; it was more in the middle of the room. She had remembered to bring a book and was trying to read it.
"This is so boring," Prue said to herself. She rested her head on her crossed arms, leaning on the desk.
It had been hardly a minute when Prue tried making a conversation with the person sitting to the right of her. Which happened to be one of Piper's friends.
"What did you do during summer?" Prue asked the girl.
"I went to Spain," she whispered back.
"What was it like? Did you enjoy it?"
"Miss Webster is there something wrong?" Mr Leech said.
"No,"
"Why can I hear you talking then?" A tone of harshness in his voice.
"I don't know, maybe because I was talking?" Prue muttered.
"What was that?"
"Nothing."
When they had got into the assembly it was the usual back to school boring talk. Welcoming the new students, the usual rules which had been violated the year before and the teachers saying it wouldn't be tolerated anymore, etc etc. It wasn't long before everyone was heading out of the auditorium to get to their first lesson of the day.
Prue had art for her first lesson; luckily Andy was in the same class. This meant that they could talk and work together.
Piper looked at her time table, she had art first also. She headed towards the classroom.
"Piper!" Phoebe yelled running over to her oldest sister.
"Pheebs I'm on my way to art, what do you want?"
"You'll never guess what, you know that boy I have a crush on, Justin, he's in my science lesson that I'm going to now! Isn't it so great?"
"Very nice, now I've got to go before I'm late," Piper said walking quickly leaving Phoebe to get to her lesson.
