human au. piper= sable theo= strong
Piper is very polite when they bump into each other, on their first day of school. Theo, by comparison, is a wild thing. He accepts her apology with a devilish little grin and tears away, and Piper wonders if it was him that knocked into her. As the days pass into weeks, and reluctantly into years, she's certain he initiated contact. Rude. Piper remains proper and polite, a prim thing, studious and scholarly. Theo, however, is so far removed from academic life she suspects he wouldn't even be able to see it with a microscope. Then again, she knows for a fact he failed BIO202, so microscopes are a little beyond him.
They bump into each other two years after they finish school (she was surprised he hadn't dropped out). She's still polite; inherently, it seems. He's a little less wild, but it's the same Theo she's tried hard not to know, submerged in a life that completely passed Piper by. She doesn't see him again after that. She just doesn't like him very much.
