AN: Okay, this will probably get a little confusing for a bit, but Piper and Alexa are the same person. They are both Piper. I won't refer to Piper as Alexa in the narration for too long, but she will be referred to as Alexa in speech and some thoughts.
Sorry, no time to respond to reviews! But, thanks to all who did!
Chapter Three:
T:T:T:T
It was two days later, and it was early morning at Baker High. Well, more like Baker Junior High/High. The school went from 7th grade through Senior year. Prue, Phoebe, Paige, Andy, and Leo were sitting at one of small tables in the corner, talking about the demon that they had recently vanquished. Well, Andy didn't help vanquish the demon, as he was a mortal with no powers. But, he was Prue's boyfriend, and he knew about the girls being witches. The only thing he didn't know about the girls was their missing sister, as they barely mentioned her themselves. And, Leo did go to their school. Even though he was actually, like, seventy or so, he looked like he was sixteen. He would keep aging until he was thirty, and then he would stop. It was a very long story, so he just told the girls that it was the way it was.
"Pheebs, great job with that spell. It kicked major butt." Prue said, patting her little sister on the back. "Yeah, but she wouldn't have been able to finish saying the spell if it weren't for ME orbing a fireball that was about to hit her." Paige gloated. "Paige, stop being so full of yourself." Prue said. "But I'm so special." Paige said, batting her eyelashes playfully. It was true. She was special. She was the only known half witch/half whitelighter. That made her pretty special.
"Hey, Pheebs, you paying attention?" Prue asked, noticing that her little sister wasn't participating in picking on her other little sister. Phoebe was jealously staring over at a large group on the other side of the school's front lawn. Almost all the boys in the school were surrounding something, but the girls couldn't figure out what, or whom, it was. The other four followed her gaze, and spotted the crowd. The girls were a little startled. They had realized that a girl was probably in the middle of the crowd. This surprised them. The three sisters were normally the center of attention, or at least the boys' attention. But, it seemed they were now all staring at someone else.
"I wonder who it is?" Paige asked, still staring at the crowd. "I don't know." Prue said. "Well, I'll go find out." Leo eagerly volunteered. "Yeah right, buddy." Andy said, putting his hand on Leo's shoulder. "Yeah. You just want to see who the new hot chick is." Paige teased. "I do not! I just..." Leo started, but he was interrupted. BRING BRING BRING!
"Saved by the bell, dude." Andy said, and he and Prue walked off. "Yup." Phoebe and Paige said in unison, and headed towards the school too. Leo rolled his eyes, and ran to catch up with them.
T:T:T
It was about ten minutes later, and Phoebe was in Science class. She normally liked Science class, but she didn't this year. Her lab partner was Louisa Hayden, the school snob. And, she didn't particularly like the day so far. Barely any of the boys were staring in her direction. Instead, they were all talking about the new hot mystery girl. "Her eyes are so... spectacular." she heard one of the guys whisper to his partner. Phoebe rolled her eyes. The boys used to say that about HER eyes. She decided, then and there, that she did not like this new girl.
Just when Phoebe looked up again, the laboratory door opened, and in walked a girl. Not just any girl, but a girl that all the guys in the class stared at as she walked towards the teacher's desk. "I'm so sorry, ma'am, but I got lost. I'm new here." the girl said politely. "That's okay, Miss..." the teacher said. "Alexa Gordon." "Well, Miss Gordon, welcome to my class. We are partnered alphabetically in this class, so would you please sit over there? Everyone else, scoot over one!" the teacher barked, and everyone did as they were told, all the girls groaning. All the boys were too busy gazing at Alexa to be annoyed.
Alexa walked down the aisle and sat in Phoebe's old seat. Once the lab began, she turned to Phoebe. "Hey, I'm Alexa Gordon. What's your name?" she asked kindly. "Phoebe." Phoebe replied coldly. Alexa was a bit taken aback. She was used to her 'dad' being mean to her, but this girl for no reason? Well, her 'father' didn't have a reason either, but that's not the point. At least Phoebe wasn't calling her 'bitch' instead of Piper, her real name, like her 'dad'. She decided to make a comeback.
"Phoebe? Is that like Cher, or Madonna, or do you have a last name?" Piper asked. Phoebe couldn't help but chuckle. "Oh, Halliwell, Phoebe Halliwell." Phoebe said. "Oh, very James Bond. Let me guess, you like pop culture?" Piper asked, a smile on her face. "What made you think that?" Phoebe replied sarcastically, a smile on her face. She had quickly changed her mind about Alexa. She seemed really cool. "Oh, nothing." Piper replied, playing along. "Miss Alexa, are you sassing me?" Phoebe asked. "Why, no, Miss Halliwell, I would never do that! I'm not that kind of person, or my name isn't Alexa Gordon!" Piper replied, smiling at her own little joke. That was an easy way to lie. "Well, then your name must not be that, or you would be lying, young lady!" Phoebe mock scolded. Both the girls burst out laughing. But, unnoticed to Phoebe, Piper's laugh did not reach her eyes.
"Hey, do you want to join me and my group for lunch?" Phoebe asked. "Yeah, sure. Who's your group?" Piper asked. "Well, me, my sisters, my cousin, and one of my sister's boyfriends." Phoebe replied. "How many sisters do you have?" Piper asked. "Um... three, but we don't like to talk about one of them." Phoebe said, suddenly sounding depressed. Piper noticed this, and decided to steer the conversation away from that topic.
"So, how's San Francisco?" she asked. "Oh, it's great! Chinatown is lots of fun, and the Golden Gate Bridge is a great place to watch the sunrise." Phoebe said excitedly. "Oh, it seems like you know this from personal experience." Piper said. "I do. My sisters and I go there the same day every year to watch it rise." Phoebe said. "What day?" Piper inquired. "April eighth." Phoebe responded. "Why then?" Piper asked. "Well, it's a day where we all need a lot of comfort." Phoebe responded, her face going downcast again. Piper decided to distract her.
"So, cousin? He or she?" Piper asked. "He." Phoebe responded. "Oh, is he cute?" Piper asked. Phoebe smiled. "What about all your fans here?" Phoebe asked, glancing around pointedly at all the boys in the class staring in Piper's direction. "Don't care. Cute or no?" Piper asked. "Very cute. I would probably date him if he weren't my wh- cousin." Phoebe said, catching herself. She almost forgot that she had only known her lab partner for less than an hour, and that she didn't know about the family secret.
"Oh, that cute, huh? Does he have light eyes or blonde hair?" Piper asked. Phoebe stared at her. "Why?" she asked. "My weaknesses." Piper responded quickly. "Yeah, he's blonde, with blue-green eyes." Phoebe responded, watching the smile stretch across her new friend's face. "Really? How old?" she asked. "Junior year." Phoebe said, and disappointment swept into Piper's eyes. "Oh.." she said. "I can't date guys that old." Piper said. "Why don't you just sneak out to meet him?" Phoebe asked nonchalantly. "NO WAY!" Piper almost shouted, and then continued speaking in a lower voice. "No. If my dad found out, I'd be in HUGE trouble." "Oh, come on, it can't be that bad." Phoebe said. "Actually, it's pretty bad." Piper said, not thinking. Phoebe looked at her queerly. "I mean, he's pretty strict." Piper covered quickly and believably. "Oh, that sucks." Phoebe said. "You have no idea." Piper whispered under her breath.
