It was the day before Matthew's homecoming game. He had GPA of 3.0 which was cutting it close for the athelete rules. It was 2:00 pm, and he was in his last class. Math. Everyone was nervous bout there grades, but nobody more than Matthew. The teacher was give them the grade report for that class. As he watched the teacher pass them out, his heart felt constricted. Finally his was given. At the bottom was red circle. A 70 in that class. Matthew felt chocked. The coach would blow a fuse. It would make his GPA a 2.5. So in a panick attack, his went up to the teacher. "Um...Ms Galler ?"Yes Matthew ?"Why is my grade like this ?"Matthew, you barely passed the midterm. It's only because of your other grades it isn't lower."Can I please redo it ?"Why would I let you do that ? I'm the quaterback. I'll lose my chance for a position next year."I will have to ask the principle."Ok, thanks."Your welcome." Soon school was over and Prue picked him up.

"Have a good day ?"Uh...no."Why ?"I...I...well..."Matthew...why ?"My midterm."Oh no...whats your GPA ?"2.5"Excuse me ?"I almost failed my math midterm."Did you study for it ?"Yes...its just a hard class."Dont know what to say honey."Can I still go to the pregame party ?"Yeah."Ok, thanks." Prue takes a deep breath and pulls into condo. Matthew runs inside to take a shower. 15 minutes later, he sees Bane sitting in the kitchen. "I'm ready dad."Lets go then." Matthew can't help but notice his dad's disappointed look. 20 minutes later, Bane drops him off back at the school. Everyone at the party cheers seeing him. The coach walks over. "Matthew come talk to me."Ok sir." He follows the coach over to his table. "The principle talked with me. Its my understanding you will need tutoring."Yeah, I almost failed my midterm."Yes, and your a great quaterback. So please go to tutoring every tuesday afternoon and get help."Ok coach. Will do." He pats Matthew's back, and let's him go back to his team mates.

Soon the party is over, and all the players get ready for the game. They run out on the field, 10 minutes later. Looking up into the bleachers, Matthew can see his parents and aunts. The game last 1 hour and 20 minutes, and Matthew's team wins by 6 pts. His heart is pounding with excitement, but his muscles throbbed terribly. So he quickly changes to go home. Then he walks out to meet his family, but as he looks around, Matthew sees a beautiful girl. Dirty blonde hair, aquatic blue eyes, atheletic body with a slight tan. Never had he been interesting in dating. This girl was changing his mind. Then suddenly, he was pulled out of his trance, by Bane. "Son ! Hey son !"Oh hi dad."You ok buddy ?"Yeah dad. Just tired."K, lets go home." Matthew follows his parents to the car, and waves bye to his aunts. Despite Matthew's lack of energy, all he could think about was that cheerleader. Her name was Kayla, and she was the same age. He wanted to learn more about her. All he knew so far was she was a teenage dream lover.

When Piper got home that night, she found Leo asleep on the couch. Angered she walks over. "Leo !" He jolts awake at her loud voice. "What Piper ?"Were you going to sleep down here all night ? I wanted to catch you when you came in, so we could talk."About what ?"Well I talked to Phoebe about us, and she thinks it's best we seperate."Oh really...Prue does to."So should we ?"Yes Leo. Lately you've been making my life miserable."I realize that, but I do love you."Then why don't I believe it ?"I wish I knew."Oh you do. Just saying it will make it true."What truth are we talking about exactly Piper ?"About how you are no longer my angel husband, just a shell of that man I knew."Now wait...that's not right ! You wanted me to be mortal, and now your throwing it in my face !"Shush ! The kids are sleeping.I'm not arguing anymore. I'm going to bed Leo."Alright whatever." Defeated, Leo watches Piper go upstairs, and lays back down with sadness. Piper lays alone in bed, with tears wishing this was a nightmare. Penny and Patty looked on from the heavens in disbelief. There it was. Another marriage ruined.

The next morning, Matthew decided to hangout with some team mates. He rode his bike to their hangout spot. When Matthew arrived though, he seen then smoking cigerettes. He carefully walks over. "Hey whats up guys ?" His best friend Brad smiles. "Just have a smoke. Want one ?"Nah. Bad idea."Aw come on. It aint like we will get caught."Look smoke sticks to clothes. My parents would know."Chicken."Alright I'll try one but I better not get in trouble." Matthew takes a cigerette, and lights it. He chokes on the smoke. "Damn, this shit strong." His team mates laugh. A couple hours later, the toss around a football. Matthew's cell rings. "Hello ?"Hey its dad. Your mom has dinner ready. Come on home."Ok."Guys I have to go home. See ya." He gets on his bike and goes home. Walking inside, he sits at the dinner table. Prue sniffs. "Matthew...why do I smell smoke ?"Well..." Banes looks at him. "Answer your mom, son."I...I tried a cigerette.(Both"What !" Bane jumps up the table. "You have no idea, how much trouble your in !"Sorry dad."Don't wanna hear it ! Up to your room now !" Matthew walks up to his room. Bane turns to Prue. "I'm gonna whip him."Now Bane..."No honey, I can't let this slide." Bane rushes to his son's room.

Hearing his door open, Matthew jumps. "Son, your getting a whipping !"Dad please dont." Bane takes off his belt, and yanks Matthew to him. Then, he whips him 4 times. Bane leaves and Matthew starts to cry. Bane comes back to see Prue at the table, with her head in her hands. "I'm sorry honey. It had to be done."I know." 4 hours later, they go to bed.
