Chapter One: School

"Piper, wake up. We're going to be late for breakfast if you don't get up now," a blonde girl said, standing over a sleeping Piper.

"What? Oh. Morning Ashley," she said, sitting up in bed.

"Morning. Now get up."

Piper climbed sleepily out of her bed and looked at her roommate, who was already dressed.

"Okay, just give me ten minutes to change and we can go eat," she replied, heading to her closet.

Ashley nodded and started brushing her hair. By the time she had finished, Piper was out of the bathroom.

"Okay, I'm ready to go," she announced.

"Great," Ashley replied, and they left their room.

Piper and Ashley were roommates at an all girls boarding school in New York. This was Piper's third year there- she had been coming since eighth grade, and now they were in eleventh. She and Ashley had been roommates since then, as Ashley had come in at the same time as Piper.

Although she missed her Grams, Prue and Phoebe, Piper was happy in her school. She wasn't exactly popular, but she had quite a few friends. Piper was smart, nice and pretty, now that she had gotten contacts and she had gotten her braces off a while ago.

The dining hall was noisy, and rather crowded, but Ashley and Piper quickly found their friends and went to go sit with them.

"Hey guys! You're late," one of their friends, Sara, said.

"Yeah. Piper overslept again."

"Oh," she said knowingly.

Piper gave them an angelic face and they all laughed.

"So, did any of you think about the dance next week?" Katie, another girl, asked, referring to the Spring dance they were having with the boys boarding school down the street.

"I'm going with Michael," Ashley announced.

"Are you guys getting more serious?" Laura asked.

"Yup. He just asked me yesterday."

"What about you, Piper?" Marissa asked.

"Yeah, are you going with Aaron?" Sara asked, referring to the guy she knew Piper liked.

She shrugged, "He hasn't asked me."

"So ask him."

"I'll think about it."

"Anyway, what are we doing today?" asked Katie, since it was a weekend and they didn't have anything to do.

"How bout the mall?" Marissa suggested.

"Great idea, I need some clothes for the dance. Ok, who's in?"

"I'll come," Laura, Sara and Ashley all said.

"What about you Piper?" Marissa asked.

"I can't. I have a ton of homework to finish," she replied.

"Oh, come on. It's just for a few hours."

Piper shook her head. "You guys go. I'll see you later."

"Okay, bye," her friends said, as they all finished their breakfast and stood up to leave.

Piper got up and went to her room. She worked on some homework for a while, and then decided to go outside. She left her dorm and went to take a walk, the book she had to read for English in her hand. Seeing a bench, Piper sat down and began to read. She was so engrossed in her reading she didn't notice someone had sat next to her until he let out a cough.

Looking up, she saw a blond guy she had never seen before. His green eyes looked kind, and he was smiling brightly at her. Piper had never seen him before, and she knew almost all of the guys who went to the boarding school.

"Hi. I'm Leo," he said, holding out his hand.

She shook it, "Piper. Are you new here?"

He nodded. "Just came this semester. How'd you know?"

"I've never seen you before. So how do you like it here?"

"It's nice. Lot's of pretty girls like you."

Piper blushed. "Where do you live?"

"In Connecticut. What about you?" he asked.

"I'm from California."

"Really? Which part?"

"San Francisco."

"That's cool. I've always wanted to live in California," he told her.

She smiled. "Do you have any siblings?"

"Nope. I'm an only child. What about you?"

"I've got an older sister and a younger sister. They're always fighting, and I end up being the peacemaker," Piper replied, rolling her eyes.

"That sounds like fun," Leo said, his green eyes twinkling.

Piper laughed. "I miss them though."

"But you talk to them a lot, right?"

She nodded. "Yeah, I call them all the time to talk."

"Sounds like you guys are pretty close."

Piper nodded. Then she tilted her head to the side and looked at him. "You're really easy to talk to, you know."

He smiled. "You're a great person to listen to."

Piper smiled back, and then checked her watch. "I have to go. I'll see you around."

She got up and started to walk away, but stopped when she heard him yell her name. She turned around to face him and saw that he was still sitting on the bench. "Yeah?"

"Will you go to the dance with me on Saturday?"

She smiled. "I'd love to."

Piper turned again and walked back to her dorm, smiling the whole time. When she got there, she found Ashley already back, sitting on her bed with Sara, Marissa, Laura and Katie.

"Hey Piper," Ashley said when Piper walked in.

"Where'd you go?" asked Katie.

"Yeah, I thought you were going to stay here and do homework," Laura put in.

"I decided to go read outside."

"Oh. Why are you smiling so much?" Katie asked.

"I met this new guy."

"Details!" Sara cried.

"His name's Leo, and he's from Connecticut. He seems really nice."

"And?" Marissa asked. "What did he say?"

"He asked me to the dance!"
