Chapter Two: The Dance

It had been a week since Piper had met Leo. She had seen him once or twice after that, but they hadn't really had time to talk much. Tonight was the dance, and Piper was really nervous. She had exactly two hours to get ready.

"What am I going to wear?" she wailed to Ashley.

"I told you you should have come to the mall with us last week," her friend replied.

"Then I wouldn't have met Leo, so it wouldn't matter anyway," Piper reminded her.

"True. Here, you can borrow some of my clothes. I bought a bunch of things last week that you might like."

"Thank you!" Piper cried, hugging Ashley.

"No problem. Now choose," she said, smiling.

Piper spent a few minutes digging through Ashley's clothes and some of her own. "Ok, which one?" Piper asked, holding up a slinky red dress in one hand, and pointing to a short black skirt and a silver top with the other.

"Definitely the dress. Red's your color," Ashley told her.

"I like that one better anyway." Piper announced, heading to the bathroom to shower and change.

Ashley smiled and picked up a black dress that she was going to wear. She couldn't wait for her date with Michael, the guy she had been crushing on forever. He had finally asked her out a couple weeks ago, and then he had asked her to the dance last week.

A while later, Piper, Ashley, Sara, Katie, Laura and Marissa were gathered in Piper and Ashley's room. The six of them were doing their hair and makeup together. Sara was going with her longtime boyfriend, Alex, and Laura was going with a guy she had been dating for about a month. Since neither Katie nor Marissa had dates, they were going to hang out together.

"How about a bun or something?" Katie asked. She was sitting behind Piper, doing her hair.

"Yeah, that sounds good," Piper replied. She had finished Katie's hair and makeup, and now Katie was doing hers.

"So, do you like it?" Marissa asked Sara, finishing her makeup.

"You look amazing!" Laura said.

"Thanks. And yeah, Marissa, I love it," Sara replied.

"Ow, that hurt," Laura whined to Ashley, who was tugging at her hair.

"Sorry. I'm finished though."

"I like it." Laura said, examining her French braid in the mirror.

"Is everyone done?" Sara asked about fifteen minutes later.

"We should leave. The dance starts in like, five minutes, and our dates will probably be waiting," Marissa put in.

"Yeah, let's go," Ashley said, standing up.

The girls headed out and went to the gym, where the dance was going to be. As soon as they walked in, Piper saw Leo talking to some of his friends.

He spotted Piper and walked over to the group. "Hi Piper," he said, smiling.

"Hi," she replied. "Uh, these are my friends, Laura, Ashley, Katie, Sara and Marissa," Piper said, introducing them.

They smiled at him and said hello.

"Nice to meet you girls," Leo said before he and Piper walked off together.

A fast song pounded through the speakers and Leo turned to Piper. "Wanna dance?"

She blushed. "I'm not really a great dancer," she admitted.

"Oh, come on. It'll be fun," Leo said, holding out his hand.

She smiled and took it. "Okay."

They headed off to the dance floor, and Piper immediately got into it. Leo smiled at her, seeing she was being way too modest, as she was a good dancer. He was a pretty good dancer himself.

About three dances later, a slow dance came on. Leo started to walk off the floor but Piper pulled him back. "You really want to keep dancing?" he asked.

She nodded and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Absolutely."

"Having fun?" he asked her.

"Yeah," she replied, running her fingers through his hair.

A few hours later, the couple had gotten tired of dancing and talking and decided to call it a night.

They headed outside and into the dark night. "So are you free tomorrow?" Leo asked.

Piper nodded. "Yeah, why?"

"I was thinking we could go out for lunch or something," Leo suggested.

"Sounds great. Why don't you come to my dorm around noon?"

"Perfect."

"Ok, see you tomorrow," Piper said.

Leo was about to turn and leave, but stopped. He leaned down and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Goodnight Piper," he said, walking away.

Piper touched a finger to her mouth and watched as he left. When she could no longer see him, she turned and went back into her dorm.
