It is the following day in homeroom. Both Piper and Leo are extremely happy that he made the team. Piper and her clique are talking before homeroom begins.
"Leo was amazing at tryouts, and he made center-forward. Impressive" said Marissa
"I know", Piper said half squealing.
"That means he is automatically in the clique." Marissa responded.
"Exactly."
Piper gets up from her seat and goes over to Leo.
"Hey Leo can I talk to you for a second"
He looks toward her.
"Sure, what about"
"Well since you made center-forward on the soccer team you are instantly admitted to my clique. You want to join? The final decision is yours."
Good going Piper, as if you don't seem conceited enough you had to say my clique.
He thinks for a minute making Piper even more nervous that he will say no.
"Sure, I will join."
"Sweet. Now that you are in sit with us at lunch today and you can meet everybody."
"Okay."
Period 7: Lunch
Piper and the clique are sitting down at there table eating lunch. It is extremely silent so Piper decides to break it.
"Leo, how do you like it here at Charming High?"
"It's cool. I miss my old friend though"
"Oh, well you have friends here."
"I know. It's just those friends I have known since pre-k so I have been with them all my life. How long have you all lived here?"
"Our whole lives."
"That's cool so what do you do around here for fun?"
"Go to the park, beach or movies. Whatever we feel like doing at times."
"What about dance clubs or parties?"
"We always have parties at the dance clubs."
"Nice" he smile to her
"You have to come to them they are a whole bunch of fun."
"It's possible." He looks at her and goes back to eating his lunch.
Piper has a confused expression on her face.
"What do you mean by that? Wait before you answer, rule time. My name is not Piper to you or anyone else it's Leader. Second, only my boyfriend can call me Piper. Third never question me. Forth, you must come to all of our parties.
Leo looks up in disbelief but holds what he wants to say back.
"Don't forget the other rule about dating Leader." Said Marissa, "If you are going out with someone the guy must give the girl a promise ring."
"Right. Thanks Marissa."
Leo still looks in disbelief. However Piper can tell that there is something there that he wants to say but isn't.
"What do you want to say?"
"Nothing." Then he waits a minute, "Leader."
"Yea"
"I wasn't asking a question."
Wow way to be straight forward why don't you just up and leave now seeing as you probably are going to get kicked out. Thought Leo
"Oh okay. That's all you wanted to say?"
"Yes."
Piper is still able to tell that he is holding something back from her.
"No that's not, what do you want to say?"
He is still looking toward her, thinking carefully what to say next as not to get kicked out on his first day.
"How long have these rules been in tact?"
"20 years" responds Piper.
"Because I find them," he pauses again to think, "restricting and just plain barbaric." He waits a minute and then gets up. "I need to go now Leader." He leaves the table.
"Do we need to change them?"
Marissa piped up quickly with an answer. "I don't think so Leader. They are great and he's new so he needs to get used to them just like we all had to when we first joined."
Piper gets up from the table and walks around and finds Leo. She coughs to try to get his attention. But Leo is so into his thoughts he doesn't hear he coughing. When she realizes this she walks up to him.
"Hey."
He looks up.
"Hey" saying as he looks straight in front of him.
"I wanted to say I agree with you about the rules. But they are not barbaric, just medieval."
He smiles looking the same way. "Same difference, anymore rules I should know about?"
"Well there is one, not really tradition but destiny. This destiny is the center-forward and Leader date."
"Oh, well I'll see what I think about that in the future."
She smiles and nods and turns to walk away. He turns around to face her.
"So when is the next party?"
She turns to face him.
"Tonight at my house."
"Where's your place and do I need to bring anything?"
"Just bring yourself and I live at 1329 Prescott Street."
"Okay. Do you have a pool where I would need a suit or anything?"
"Yes I have a pool and a hot tub."
"So should I bring a suit."
"Sure you can."
