Piper was in science class trying to learn but she couldn't take her eyes off Leo and apparently he couldn't take his eyes off her either.
Leo had been showing off in front of Piper all day.
"Don't look now but Leo is staring" Prue whispered to Piper.
Piper automatically turned her head to find Leo sitting at a prac bench staring at her.
They locked eyes for a minute and a smile spread across Leo's face; the boy next to him nudged him in the arm and whispered something.
Leo turned bright red and laughed like he was very embarrassed.
Piper giggled and the boy turned to stare at her; now she could see his face she could tell it was David.
David was short, blonde and extremely athletic.
Not many people liked David because he was very annoying and dramatic but he was popular so people pretended to like him.
Piper quickly looked away and tried to concentrate on what the teacher was saying.
Leo came and sat two seats in front of Piper.
He was leaning back casually to see Piper when he noticed her staring and then Courtney whispered something to her.
He heard her say "No".
So he turned around and said "No, Piper, no".
Piper laughed and raised her eyebrows.
Leo smiled and laughed a bit.
The class went dead quiet until David, Jack and Matt broke the silence.
"Piper and Nancy love Leo and Greg" they chanted.
Piper looked at Nancy; Nancy was as white as a ghost.
"Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about!" Piper yelled.
She looked back over at Nancy; she was glad to see Nancy had regained colour.
David was about to say something but the bell went.
"Phew!" Piper sighed.
"Saved by the bell" Nancy muttered and then thanked Piper.
Piper nodded and gave Nancy a hug.
"You wanna stay over tonight?" Nancy asked enthusiastically.
Piper nodded and replied "I'd love to, Nancy".
Nancy was all grins.
Cleo wasn't.
Piper was alone walking home; Phoebe was going over to her friend's house and Prue had faked a sickie to avoid a math test.
She heard a laugh she completely recognized and looked up to see Leo right in front of her.
She went as white as a ghost and prayed he'd be walking in separate directions.
All of them suddenly stopped; Piper found her legs slowing down but pushed them further.
The entire group of boys except Leo turned down one street; Leo kept walking towards the Halliwell Manor.
Piper sighed and eventually overtook him.
Leo sped up to catch up to her.
"Hey Piper" He smiled.
Piper mumbled a hello and continued to look down.
"So…Where's your house?" He asked and for once Piper thought he might be truly interested.
Piper smiled and pushed some hair back from her face "Over There" she said to him and pointed directly in front of them where the tall Manor stood.
"Whoa" He cried and stared at the Manor in awe; stars in his eyes.
Piper had to laugh.
Leo smiled and said that the house was 'beautiful' and 'like an antique'.
"Aww and I just bought it at the local rummage shop" She giggled.
He smiled.
"Nah actually this house has been in my family for generations" She explained and looked up to see if he was dying of boredom, he wasn't so she continued "I live with my Grams and my sisters".
"Prue and Phoebe?" He asked.
"Yer" she nodded.
"What about your parents?" He asked.
Piper felt her eyes swell and tears come forth.
"My mother drowned when I was little and my father left us" she mumbled.
Leo apologized and hugged her.
"Wait…he just hugged me!" Piper thought.
She was ecstatic.
Leo and her eventually reached Piper's house and he walked her up to the door.
"Well…Cya" Leo said.
He turned to go.
"Wait…" Piper said and reached for his arm, but she pulled back.
"Yes Piper?" Leo said; his eyes gleaming with hope.
"Never mind" she sighed.
Leo looked disappointed and then slowly walked away from her.
Piper unlocked the door and walked inside.
Prue was waiting.
"Omg! I saw that, he almost kissed you" Prue laughed.
"Did not" Piper spat and ran up to her room; hiding her damp and dreary eyes from Prue's sight.
