Chapter 9
Another day full of pretenses. Piper came to school ready for another gruelling day. She went to her locker to prepare for her first class. Out of nowhere, a guy with thick glasses appeared and gave a red rose to Piper. "Thanks Peter. It's really beautiful."
Peter grinned with braces his braces shining. "Ye-yes. Just like you." He grinned again his hands playing with the edge of his polo. "Did you know that the scientific name of rose is ?" He said proudly. 'Oh my god, she smiled!'
Piper smiled just to be nice with Peter. "Yeah, I know that."
"You - you do?" Peter disappointment in his voice. ' I didn't amuse her after all.' "Well, you're really smart."
"Thank you." Piper said, thinking of an excuse, she looked at her watch. "Uhm… I really have to go…" Piper trailed off when she heard the chirpy voice of Missy.
"Peter, Piper" Missy said, getting an idea, she continued, "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper." then her friend, Ashley joined in. "If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled pepper. Where's the pickled pepper that Peter Piper picked?" Then they laughed out loud, almost crying out of laughter. "What a tongue twisted love team."
Peter, embarrassed, just walked away without saying goodbye to Piper. "Did I say something wrong?" Missy asked looking innocently to Piper. "OH! The tongue twisted part. Kinda have a double meaning. Don't you think?" Then she smiled and sighed "You can really make my day with your funny acts. Well, see you around. And tell Phoebe that we're in the cafeteria." Then she paused and said in a mocking tone, "Wait, I forgot she's not talking to you. Well, just have someone tell her, ok?" Then she left with Ashley.
Piper is not a geek, weird girl, just smart, only Missy and her friends called her geek. She had no braces or zits, she's pretty. Many guys at school would like to go out with her but chose not to because they don't want to have problems with Missy and her friends. They were part of a sorority, which was known to be connected to the Alpha Phi Fraternity, a fraternity known to be notorious, the "mess with me and you're dead" type of people. The last guy who had asked Piper out had found his car in ruins in a deserted alley.
Piper sighed, 'Peter another addition to the list of guys who tried to ask her out. Not that she wanted to go out with him but still. Well, another gruelling morning. What's in store for me in the afternoon?' Then she looked at her watch. 'Good thing, I still have 10 minutes.' she thought as she took her stuffs from the locker. Behind her, a voice stopped her.
"Hey, Sex-y." The voice said, emphasising on the syllable 'sex'.
Piper sighed deeply and rolled her eyes. 'Oh please. Can't I just prepare for class peacefully?' Then she turned around.
"When are you going to say 'yes' to me? I promise I'll be gentle." As the guy took a step closer.
"Cole Turner. I'll never sleep with you. Not even in your dreams." Piper said then turning around again to continue with what she's doing.
"Oh you already did." Cole smiled slyly.
Piper just rolled her eyes again. "Whatever." Then Cole turned her around roughly. "You'll say 'yes' someday. I can feel it. By the way, tell Phoebe that she cannot break up with me. I'm the only one who tells when it's over or not. Tell her that." Then he pushed Piper to her locker then he left.
Again, Piper sighed. 'At least Phoebe's smart enough to dump you. Now please let me do this without any interruptions.' She thought as she continues to prepare for class. Then she heard a conversation.
"Hey buddy! Long time no see. What happened to you?"
Piper could see from her mirror an Asian guy talking to a blonde guy. She must say the blonde one was hot. Though he had a long sleeved polo over his white shirt, she can tell that he works out, with the broad shoulders. That was her weakness, guys who are not too thin but not too toned that you could see the veins ready to pop out. She likes guys who are just in between, with slightly toned muscles.
Anyway, she continued to listen to their conversation.
"I just got back from Ohio yesterday. My grandmother was sick, and I had to take care of her." The blonde one replied.
"Oh. How is she?"
"She's good. At least my aunt can stay with her now. And I can continue my studies here. But God, I missed so much. Being absent for a week is really hard. Now, I have to make up for everything." The blonde one said dejectedly.
'Oh, that's bad. Being absent for just a day can be really hard for me, what more for a week.' Piper thought feeling sympathy for the cute guy.
"Anyway, do you have notes from Literature with Ms. Lauren? We have an exam on that subject tomorrow and I really need it to ace that one."
"Sorry, bud. But I don't have Literature this year."
'Literature with Ms. Lauren. I have notes for that, and I have already studied about it last night.' Piper thought as she looked for her notebook in her bag. She approached the cute guy.
The blonde guy turned around to see the most spectacular brown eyes he had ever seen. An angelic face that could launch a thousand ship. With long hair so shiny and radiant, it could pass up for a shampoo commercial, maybe more than that. Perfect. She's like an apparition.
"Uhm, excuse me. Here. You can borrow my notes also there our pointers to review in there that would probably be included. So… there." She handed her notebook to him. Then she started to walk away to leave for her class. But the cute guy stopped her.
"Wait! Don't you even want to know my name? I mean, how can you be sure that I will return it to you? You don't even know me."
"I prefer to believe in people." Then Piper turned around to leave.
"Wait!" Then a voice stopped the guy on his track.
"Leo!" He turned around and saw a girl approaching him.
When he turned around again, the beautiful girl was nowhere in sight.
"Hey, Leo!" Phoebe approached Leo flashing her close-up smile.
"Uhh… hey!" Leo said still looking for the girl who lent him the notes.
"Hey! Remember me?" Phoebe said.
"Uhh… No, I'm sorry." Leo looking for this girl in his mind. 'Where did I see you?'
"Oh, it's okay. I guess there's too many things on your mind. Anyway, I'm Phoebe, we met yesterday, remember now?"
"Oh yeah!" Leo replied, mentally slapping himself. 'She was with the mean blonde girl. I remember now.'
Then Phoebe started to ramble about her morning and she asked Leo if he could join him at lunch but Leo's mind was too busy thinking and remembering the angel's features. 'The angel… when will I see you again? Hope it will be soon. I want to know you. My angel.'
A/N: Piper and Leo's first meeting, I got it from Smallville. Clark's mom was telling Clark how she met her husband.
So there goes another chapter. Let me know what you think.
May you all have a Christmas full of love and
a New Year full of blessings!
