Leo Wyatt. He had blondish hair and had this pair of amazingly green eyes. Piper always thought he was hot but never really liked him as she felt that he was always one of those guys who thought that they were really cool and probably tried to survive high school with good-looks and charm. In other words, Piper thought he was dumb.
However, the funny thing was that, since Piper was young, Leo and his family had always been invited to her house for dinner and such. Grams always mentioned something about Leo's mother being Piper's mother's good friend. Piper did not really care but every time Leo came over, she could see Phoebe literally drooling at Leo. Piper rolled her eyes at the thought. It was so Phoebe to drool at every hot guy.
Piper stared at Leo intently and scowled at him before saying a soft, "Hi".
Leo, who was rather taken aback by her reaction, greeted her with his megawatt smile and said a big friendly Hello anyway.
"Erm, my Mum saw you here and told me to ask you if you wanted a lift home because your grandmother invited us over for dinner. So… yeah, you want a lift?" Leo asked casually.
After considering it for a while, Piper agreed.
In awkward silence, they walked down the hall together and towards Leo's mother, who was in her car.
Piper had always remembered Mrs. Wyatt as a pleasant, sweet lady who always had a smile on her face, and this time, it was no different.
With a sweet smile on her face, Piper greeted her. "Hi, Mrs. Wyatt, thanks for offering me a ride!"
Great, she greets me with a scowl on her face and greets my mother with this oh-so-innocent and sweet smile. No wonder mum loves her so much. Why am I even so darn nice to her? Leo thought as he rolled his eyes.
Mrs. Wyatt replied her with a big friendly Hello! Mrs. Wyatt looked like Leo, except for the face that she had dark brown hair and was on the plump side. She reminded Piper of a female, brunette version of Santa Clause.
The car ride to the manor was quiet with Mrs. Wyatt asking Piper questions occasionally.
Though Mrs. Wyatt was nice and all, Piper felt like she could have died during the car ride. She was clearly in no mood to talk; yet, she was stuck in the car, having to deal with stupid questions such as, "How's your grandmother?" "How are your sisters?" "How's Paige doing?" etc
Thankfully for Piper, Mrs. Wyatt seemed to have read Piper's thoughts by the time she asked her tenth question and shut up for the rest of the journey. 5 minutes later, the car pulled up the driveway.
Piper mouthed a small "thanks" before jumping out of the car. It was not that she was being rude or anything, but during the car ride home, memories of the times she had with Dan rushed back into her head and upset her all over again. Piper needed to go somewhere quiet to reflect and think.
Hanging her head low, Piper ran up to her room, leaving a very puzzled Mrs. Wyatt behind her.
Tears of anger flooded into Piper's eyes as she sat in her room, staring straight at a photo of Dan and her fooling around. He was about to throw a piece of cake right smack into her face. A slight smile formed as she thought about it.
Then, she felt anger again. She had never felt this angry in her life before. She could feel energy surging through her eyes and her hands. She reached her hands out, wanting to tear the photo up, however, before she could, the photo just, blew up.
She stared at the damage before her.
Then she stared at her hands.
Her hands were supposed to freeze, not blow things up!
Before Piper could freak out even more, she heard her Grams calling her down for dinner.
Deciding to keep the incident to herself, she wiped the tears off her face before heading downstairs.
Piper seated herself at her usual place, which was in between Prue and Phoebe. As usual, Phoebe was trying to get the attention of Leo, who seemed to have his eyes fixed on something else. Piper tried to find out what it was, but was interrupted by Grams, who asked for help with the food.
Unable to say no, Piper got out of her seat and brought the soup in and served it to the rest.
Dinner was quite an affair, with a few jokes by Mrs. Wyatt being thrown around. Everyone was feeling joyful, except Piper. She was miserable and remained quiet during dinner. No one noticed, except Leo.
My my, look at Miss Grumpy, if she were a witch, I'd pity her whitelighter, imagine having to deal with a PMSy witch 24/7. Leo shuddered as he thought.
