Psychokitty3: If u have ne questions, don't hesitate to ask. I'll try and explain without giving the plot away. Sry. I wasn't really sure if Jessica was popular or not. So lets just forget I said it, plz!

Onetreehill4eva: Thanx

A/n: Okay, I'm going to try and explain something. I don't know if u all got it or not, but I'm going to talk ne way. Phoebe is a year younger than Piper, like it said in the first chapter. Then, halfway through 5th grade, the administration thought Phoebe was smart enough to be in 6th grade. It was the only way I could put them in the same skool. Hope that clears some things up! And, if ur all wondering, Prue's in eighth grade. But, obviously, they don't have the same lunch period.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Come on, Piper!" Prue urged. "Why won't you just ask him out?" They all watched Leo as he walked about ten feet in front of them. "I mean, seriously. He's the hottest guy in school." Phoebe pointed out. "And Becca says that she thinks he likes you." Prue put in.

"Will you guys just stop it?" Piper asked through gritted teeth, regretting the time she had told her sisters she liked Leo. "I mean, seriously, he's seven feet in front of us. He could be hearing our whole conversation."

"Uh, Piper?" Leo asked, turning around. The girls stopped in their tracks, and Phoebe tried to hold in a laugh. "Could you come outside soon? I want to talk to all of you." Leo questioned. "Uh, sure." Piper agreed, elbowing Phoebe in the stomach.

Leo gave a small smile and headed back towards his house. "See, Piper, this could be the chance of a lifetime!" Prue exclaimed. "He could be wanting to tell you that he likes you!" "Then why did he say he wants to talk to all of us?" Piper wondered.

She continued walking towards the house, leaving Prue and Phoebe behind. They ran to catch up, but Piper rushed inside the manor before they could try and talk to her. "I'm home, Grams." Piper called out, throwing off her shoes and taking the steps two at a time.

Piper threw her backpack on the floor by her desk and flopped onto the bed. Would Leo really say that he liked her? Or was it something more serious? Did he have a new girlfriend? Piper heard a basketball bouncing on the sidewalk.

Piper got up and looked out her window. Leo was out shooting hoops with Chris, Kevin, and Alex. Piper pretended to gag in disgust. She had been friends with Alex in second grade. Then she had become popular, and totally ignored Piper.

Piper rushed out of her room and down the steps. "I'm going outside, Grams!" Piper yelled. "Okay." Grams called back from the kitchen. Piper ran out the front door in her bare feet raced across the street. "Hey." Piper greeted breathlessly.

"Hey." Leo, Chris, Kevin, and Alex all said in unison. Leo put the ball up and missed. Piper grabbed the ball as it rolled down the driveway, and took a shot. It made a beautiful 'Swish' noise. "Score!" Piper yelled happily. Leo looked at her enviously.

"Let's play Horse." Leo suggested. Piper shrugged her shoulders and got in line behind him. Kevin and Alex sat in the grass and watched. "Ha, beat that!" Leo said playfully as the ball went through the hoop. "Surely." Piper caught the ball, and shot, missing as it bounced off the rim.

"'H'" Everyone yelled out. "Dang it!" Piper sighed, passing the ball to Chris. By the end of the game, Leo had 'H-O', Chris had 'H-O-R' and Piper only had an 'H'. "I win, I win!" Piper sang, dancing around with the ball in her hands.

Leo ran up to her and quickly pushed the ball out of her grip. Piper stared at him in shock, and she felt Leo's eyes connect with her. 'H-he's looking at me.' Piper thought nervously. "Go get that!" Piper ordered, looking away from Leo.

Leo ran out into the street and captured the ball before it got to far, and ran back onto the driveway. Kevin jumped up and whispered something in Leo's ear, making Piper nervous. Kevin always talked about her behind her back.

"I guess I should tell you all the reason I asked you to come out." Leo started. He sighed and looked down at the ground. "My dad just accepted a job in New Jersey, so...um...I guess that means we're moving." "What!?" Piper and Alex exclaimed at the same time.

Kevin looked like he had known forever, and Chris kept quiet like he always did. Leo's golden retriever, Max, walked around from the back of the house and started sniffing everyone. Piper sat down and scratched his ears as Leo talked.

"I really don't have a choice. I've told you that it might happen, and I guess now it is. My dad has wanted this job forever, so when the opportunity came he took it as soon as we all agreed." "When are you moving?" Alex asked immediately.

"Sometime in the summer. So I'll still be around for a while, and we can still hang out and talk." "Piper! Dinner!" Grams called from the front door. "Already?" Piper groaned. "Yes. And then you have homework to do." Grams explained. "Fine. Give me five minutes." Piper yelled.

"Do you really have to go?" Leo asked, making Piper want to blush. "Yeah. But I'll try and come home after I do my homework." Piper answered. "K. Bye." Leo said. "Bye." Piper waved and ran back across the street and in the house.

Piper closed the door behind her and leaned against it. She could feel tears stinging at her eyes. She quickly wiped them away and walked into the kitchen. Prue and Phoebe were sitting at the table, and looked up as soon as she walked in. They wanted to know what had happened.

"You know, Grams, I'm not really hungry. I think I'll go upstairs and get started on my homework." Piper explained. "Are you sure, sweetie? I made meatloaf." Grams asked. "Yeah, like I said, not hungry." Truth was, Piper was starving. But she didn't want to have to talk to Phoebe and Prue.

"Okay. I'll save you some incase you do get hungry later." Grams told her. "Thanks Grams." Piper quickly made an exit before her sisters could ask her any questions. She ran up to her room, shut the door and locked it, then flopped onto her bed.

More tears stung Piper's eyes as she thought about what had just happened. Leo was moving. And not just to a different part of the state. To New Jersey. All the way across America. Who knows how long of a plane ride. He would be gone.

Piper quickly reached to her bedside table and turned on the radio as tears spilled down her cheeks. She didn't want Prue to hear her crying. "And next, we have the top 5 countdown. With number 5, "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely" by the Backstreet Boys.

Show me the meaning of being lonely
So many words for the broken heart
It's hard to see in a crimson love
So hard to breathe
Walk with me, and maybe
Nights of light so soon become
Wild and free I could feel the sun
Your every wish will be done
They tell me

[Chorus:]
Show me the meaning of being lonely
Is this the feeling I need to walk with
Tell me why I can't be there where you are
There's something missing in my heart

Life goes on as it never ends
Eyes of stone observe the trends
They never say forever gaze upon me
Guilty roads to an endless love (endless love)
There's no control
Are you with me now?
Your every wish will be done T
hey tell me

[Chorus:]

There's nowhere to run
I have no place to go
Surrender my heart, body, and soul
How can it be
You're asking me
To feel the things you never show

You are missing in my heart
Tell me why I can't be there where you are

[Chorus:]

Tears streamed down Piper's cheeks. She knew the mascara Prue had forced her to wear today was making black streaks down her face. "I don't want to lose a friend." Piper whispered. 'But he's more than a friend, isn't he?' A voice inside her head countered.

"N-no, he's just a really good f-friend." Piper choked. 'That's not true. You like him deeply. He's the only one you could ever say you loved.' "No!" Piper cried. But she knew the voice was right. Any other boy, Piper would have just said 'I like you a lot.' She could easily say 'I love Leo' without hesitation.

Piper was jolted out of her thoughts as the radio started talking again. "That was number 4, "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" By NSYNC. Now, number 3, another Backstreet Boys song, "I Want It That Way."

Yeah
You are my fire
The one desire
Believe when I say
I want it that way

But we are two worlds apart
Can't reach to your heart
When you say
That I want it that way

[Chorus:]
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Am I your fire
Your one desire
Yes I know it's too late
But I want it that way

[Chorus]

Now I can see that we're falling apart
From the way that it used to be, yeah
No matter the distance
I want you to know T
hat deep down inside of me...

You are my fire
The one desire
You are
You are,
you are,
you are

Don't wanna hear you say
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Ain't nothin' but a mistake
(Don't wanna hear you say)
I never wanna hear you say
I want it that way

Tell me why
Ain't nothin' but a heartache
Tell me why
Ain't nothin but a mistake
Tell me why
I never wanna hear you say
(Don't wanna hear you say it)
I want it that way
Cuz I want it that way

More tears spilled down Piper's cheeks. That was exactly how she felt about Leo. He was her desire, but she didn't know if he liked her the same way. There was a soft knock on the door. "It's Prue. I have some meatloaf." Prue explained.

"Just a minute!" Piper called out, jumping off the bed. She turned off the radio, grabbed a book out of her backpack, and pretended like she was working. "You can come in!" Piper yelled. Prue opened the door cautiously.

"Piper, are you okay?" Prue asked. "I'm fine!" Piper exclaimed, trying not to choke on her tears. She turned her head so Prue couldn't see the mascara streaks. "Okay. Here's the meatloaf." Prue set the plate on the edge of the desk and walked out, closing the door behind her.

Piper looked at the meatloaf, then sighed and collapsed into her crossed arms. "What am I going to do?" Piper groaned. She wanted to just get in her bed and go to sleep, but she had tons of homework. So Piper worked on her homework till 9, then crawled into bed and fell asleep.
