Chapter Three: To Tough For Love?
Several weeks went by since the arrival of Stanley, who the boys are now calling Caveman. Piper on the other hand felt as though she was being tortured for having to spend any time with him because slowly she had been falling head over heals for him. To hide her love she had been acting as though he didn't exist trying to keep her bad girl look every time he walked into a room.
"Why me! Why must it be me!" Piper complained to her brother Jesse.
"I don't know. It just is. So what are you going to do about it?" Jesse asked trying to sound helpful.
"I don't fucking know! That's why I'm asking you. Why that fuck must I be attracted to him!" Piper whined.
"Piper language!" Her aunt warned glaring at her over the top of a magazine that she was reading.
"Well, I can't help you there. I'm not a girl I'm a guy so yeah. It's your problem deal with it." Jesse told her. She made a face that she knew he wouldn't see but that wasn't the point.
"Thanks a bunch. You're not helping at all!" She said sadly feeling defeat.
"Am I supposed to be helping? Because I don't see how I can help. Well, there is one thing you could do." Jesse said smiling to himself.
"Which is?" she said feeling a bit of hope.
"You could always.well I don't know if you want to here this." He said purposely trying to annoy her.
"Just say it already!" She practically screamed into the phone.
"You could beat the crap out of him. That should and probably would kill all feelings for him." He said laughing at his idea.
"You're being very helpful." She said sarcastically.
"I know aren't I?" Jesse said laughing even harder into the phone.
"What ever. I got go so talk to you some other time. Bye." She said and she hung up the phone and left. Piper entered the tent to find it empty.
"Thank god!" Piper said to herself. She didn't feel like being around the other guys at the moment. She sat down on her cot then lay down. She heard footsteps coming towards the tent. Someone entered the tent and Piper sat up and looked over at who had entered the tent. She let out a small grown as she saw that it was Caveman.
"Hey." He said quietly not really trying to be heard.
"Hi." Piper said just as softly giving him a very, very small smile. She then stood up and made to leave but Caveman was blocking her way. "Can you let me by?" She said trying to get past him.
"I just want to talk to you." He said softly looking down at his shoes.
"Uhh. ok." Piper said sitting down on the nearest cot that happened to be X- Rays. He sat down next to her looking very nervous. "So.?" She asked looking at him then moved a little farther away from him.
"Ok, well, I don't know if you feel the same way but. When I came several weeks ago. wait no bad start. well, lets just say I have a feeling that I want to be more then a friend to you." He said looking at his shoes the whole time. Piper blinked at him then got up and left him sitting there. Stanley watched her go and frowned. She didn't do anything or say anything to him. She just got up and left. But why? Why did she leave with out saying a word to him? Stanley noticed that there was this look in her eyes like she was resisting something. But what was it? Stanley sighed to himself and went over to his bed and sat down and started to write a letter to him mom.
Piper walked out of the tent in shock "Had he just confessed that he was attracted to me? Oh my god! This is interesting, but I must not let him know that I am attracted to him. I must not tell him because then that will just show that I am weak." Piper thought o herself as she walked to the wreck room. She entered the wreck room and the room became quiet. Piper shook her head and walked into the room. She then had an idea and smiled to herself.
"As you were." She said and the room became noisy again. She couldn't hold back her laughter and started laughing until her sides hurt. She sat down near the pool table watching Zero and Zigzag play. She looked around and saw a group of boys standing near here whispering and pointing over at her. She rolled her eyes and turned back to watching the pool game.
"Hi." Some one said next to her. Piper looked over at him and gave a "yeah what do you want" smile.
"The names Snake." He said trying to start the conversation off.
"Yeah, and you must know who I am since no one seems to stop talking about me." She said coldly.
"So it must suck being the only girl and having all us guys drooling over you." Snake said looking her up and down. Piper glared at him and he stopped.
"How would you know if it sucks? I might be enjoying this for all you know. But just so you know I have a boyfriend." She said hatred dripping from every word. "For the record, yes it bothers me. Would you stop that!" She said noting that he was looking at her strangely.
"Sorry, it's just that you're a beautiful girl. I was jus thinking that you might want to have a guy like me to keep up with your bad girl thing." He said which piper just rolled her eyes at. Snake moved a little bit closer to her. In one quick movement he leaned in a kissed her. Piper pushed him away and smacked him.
"What part of I have a boy friend do you not understand?!?!" She yelled standing up looking disgusted.
"But you're like hundreds of miles away from him. He doesn't have to know." Snake replied smoothly also standing up. Piper glared at him for a moment. He took this moment to kiss her again. This time she pushed him back and punched him in the nose probably breaking it.
"Do not mess with me. I have a boy friend you're goanna have to deal with that. By the way you make me sick, I don't see how any girl would want or even like you." She said walking away from him. Snake was trying to stop his nose from bleeding too much. He glared after her.
"Join the club." X-Ray said helping him up and handing him off to one of his tent mates. Piper walked out of the wreck room and walked right into someone. She was taken by surprise and fell down also causing the person that she ran into to fall as well. She got up and looked at whom she had run into, it was Stanley.
"Oh, sorry Caveman I didn't see you." She said helping him to his feet brushing herself off.
"It's ok." He said smiling at her. "So where are you going?" He asked as he started to brush himself off as well.
"I was heading back to the tent. I can't take what they do to me in there. It's so annoying; they all try hitting on me! But the unlucky guy who did this has now a broken nose." She said smiling slightly.
"Hate to be that guy." Stanley said smiling back at her. Piper couldn't take not being able to kiss him or anything but she knew that it wasn't the smartest thing to do after breaking a guys nose.
"Well, I was on my way to the tent. I guess I'll see you later then." Piper said instead of just running up and kissing him, which was taking every bit of self-control not to do.
"Yeah I guess I'll be seeing you then." Stanley said turning and walking into the wreck room. Piper entered the tent to find it empty again.
"Why is this tent always empty?" Piper asked the empty tent. She sighed and sat down on her cot and took out her book entitled: Pendragon: The Never War. (Yes, it is a real book I own it too.). An hour later Piper was thoroughly intrigued by the book that she didn't here Stanley enter the tent for the second time that day. After a few minutes she felt his presence that she looked up from her book, put the book mark in and set it down smiling at him.
"Hey." She said.
"Hey, wow, dejavo (is that the spelling?) We did this about an hour ago." Stanley replied laughing slightly. Piper let out a little chuckle. She was starting to feel a little nervous with him here alone with her. Stanley walked over and sat down next to her making her even more nervous.
"Earlier when I talked to you I forgot to mention something." Stanley said after a moment of silence. He then started to lean forward towards her. Piper took a deep breath to relax her nerves as his lips hit hers.
"I tried, I failed, but hey! I'm only a girl!"
