Actions Have Consequences
Only two days had passed. That day had scared Piper more than anything. She thought that she had gone into labor, but it was just fake labor. She didn't know what she would have done if she had really gone into labor and had their babies the same day she had buried the person she had loved. Now, Piper walked around the school the day after the funeral. Even though she had been told how dangerous it was for her to be walking around, right now she really didn't care. As she walked through the halls of her school, she saw everyone staring and heard all the whispers. It was now 5th period. Piper was standing on the football field, staring with tears in her eyes. Yesterday, the school board had decided to put up a memorial for him on the football field. It was bronze and was just a little smaller than the scoreboard. It had a picture of him with his name and his football number next to the picture. Under his name the school had put his favorite quote. It read; "if you believe and have faith in something, then everything will go as you planned it." Piper had tears slowly coming down her face, as she stood there, just staring at his picture. She heard people walk up behind her and immediately knew who they were. She had heard Missy's voice and knew that Missy and her friends were behind her.
"Oh, look who it is. What, have you come to mourn for him? You know, if you never met him and went out with him, he would still be here," Missy's friend, Michelle, said. Piper took a deep breath, before wiping away her tears, and turning around. "Oh, look who was crying," Michelle said. Piper just stood there, her arms crossed, not saying anything. She just stared at Michelle. Missy stood there, watching as her friend made fun of Piper for absolutely no reason at all. She was trying to purposely hurt her. Then, something seemed to click. She thought back to what Piper had said to her just two days earlier. "Come on Piper, you actually think that he loved you," Michelle said. Missy could see the anger in her eyes.
"Michelle would you just shut up!" Missy yelled at her. Everyone just stared at Missy, shocked.
"No, Missy," Piper started, "let her say whatever she wants." Michelle looked back at Piper, feeling that this was the perfect opportunity to hurt her for no reason at all.
"You know, he saw me after work. He would come and see me almost everyday. He told me he didn't love you and was just staying with you because of that brat," Michelle said. She didn't realize she had gone to far until it was to late. Piper charged at her and knocked her to the ground, before she started to punch and slap Michelle continually in the face. Michelle had tried her best to protect her face from being hit. Piper grabbed her enemy's brown hair before hitting her head into the ground. Before they knew it, a crowd was surrounding them and Piper was being pulled off of Michelle by the assistant principle.
"Piper, calm down," Mrs. Winters, the assistant principle, said. She knew that Piper was pregnant and she knew that Piper had to stay calm for the sake of her babies. The nurse pulled Michelle up and everyone had gotten a good look at her. Her left eye was already starting turn black and blue. Her nose was bleeding, she had a bruise on her cheek and her lip was bleeding. She held the back of her head where a lump was starting to form. That shocked everyone, that Piper Halliwell had beat up one of the most popular people in school.
"Piper Halliwell to my office now!" the principle said angrily. Piper looked at Michelle one more time before walking away, smiling a little. Once in the office, with the principle and her grandparents, Piper had explained everything that had happened on the football field and what Michelle had said to her. She explained how she had lost her temper once Michelle had brought her and Mike's children into it and she couldn't control herself. The principle had felt extremely bad for Piper, but he had to follow the rules. "Piper, I'm sorry for this, but I'm going to have to suspend you for a week for beating up Michelle," he said. Piper opened her mouth to say something, but quickly shut it, when he started to talk again. "I'm also suspending Michelle for what she was saying to you and could have caused you complications with your pregnancy. She too will be suspended for a week. You can come back to school next Monday," he added. She just sighed as he talked to her, not really paying attention.
"Whatever," Piper replied.
"Excuse me?" the principle asked, confused. Allen and Penny looked over at Piper, just as confused.
"Piper?" Grams asked.
"I really don't care anymore. It's not like I have anyone waiting at home for me so what does it matter," Piper said. She could feel the tears behind her eyes, but refused to let them fall or to let anyone see them.
"Piper, what has gotten into you?"Gramps, as Piper sometimes called him, asked.
"Can we please just go home. I really don't want to be here and I'm hungry. So, can we go?"Piper aked, as she slowly stood up and walked out. Patty and Allen looked at the principle and said goodbye, before they followed Piper out of the school.
