It's monday morning and Piper is in her car driving to school. While waiting at the red lights she looks out of her window. She may have grew up her, but she still gets lost looking at the houses of her friends and people she's known for years. The light changes to green and on her way to the school she thinks about her and Leo.

"It's to quiet in here."She thinks to herself. She decides to turn on the radio to one of her favorite stations fly 92.3 and when she does Girlfriend by: Avril Lavigne is playing. When she gets to school she turns the radio off and gets out of the car after getting what she'll need for her classes out. She walks

into homeroom where the whole group is.

Homeroom/First Period:

"Morning Leader. Morning Craig."Marisa says.

"Morning."Piper responds.

"Hi."Craig answers back.

Marisa turns to Craig."How was your weekend?"

"Good. Yours?"

"Good."

While Marisa turned to talk to Craig, Piper took advantage and turned and started talking to Leo."So Leo did you enjoy yourself this weekend?" She asks.

"Yea."He answers. She smiles at him. He smiles back at her. Silence then falls between them."Piper can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure."They get up and go out into the hallway so that no one overhears them.

"How long have you known Marisa and Craig?"

"Since Freshman year. Why do you ask?"

"What have they been like since Freshman year?"At this Piper looks slightly confused."Sorry what I meant have they been like asa good of friends as

you can get? Or very seperate?"

"Sort of seperate. Craig likes to keep to himself."

"Well I know i'm a guy and nomally don't know these things, but I think Marisa wants to get closer to him and he's shutting her out."

"So? I have known that it's not my place to get involved in."

"Maybe we can try and help starting tomorrow. Okay?"

"You can try. And if you succeed all the power to you but I can't do that to my friends and have it not work out."

"Alright. I understand your reasoning."

"But if you want to do it go ahead."She walks away but not to the classroom.

"Where are you going? We have class starting in a couple minutes."

"For a walk."

"Try not to get caught. I'll take notes for you."

"Thank you."She says. After that he walks into the classroom and takes his seat. She walks around and runs into the principal.

"Ms. Halliwell. Shouldn't you be in class right now."Mr. Martin asks Piper.

"I can't."She responds.

"And why not? Is everything alright?"

"Yea it's fine. I just need to walk that's all."

"Alright. You have my permission for this period. But this period only!"He turns around and is about to walk away when he hears her speak again.

"Sir, can I have two more periods as well?"She looks away like she's about to cry.

"Why Ms. Halliwell?"

"I don't think I can handle going in to class. And my friends will take notes for me."

"And why may I ask that you can't go to class? Something has got to be wrong if you can't go to periods 1, 2, or 3."

"Because a situation is occuring which I want no part of sir."

"I'm sorry, but I can only allow first period."

"Please sir!"

"I'm sorry Ms. Halliwell. The school can't allow it."Mr. Martin turns around and walks away. The bell rings and first period ends.

Second Period:

"Did you do anything?"Piper asks when he sits down in his seat.

"No today is observation...just watching them but I don't know if i'm going to do anything or not yet. I told you that earlier."Leo says.

"Oh."

"Yea. Would you like to go out to dinner tonight?"He asks a little nervous although Piper couldn't tell. She's taken aback but then collects herself."I would love to."

"Great. I'll pick you up at 6:30?"Leo offers

"Sounds good to me."She smiles at him and he smiles back.

Lunch:

Craig, Marisa, Piper, and Leo are sitting closely together talking and the rest of the group is in the other seats.

"What the..."Marisa says.

"What?"

Marisa gets out her phone and checks it. She has a text message from her mom and she reads it."I uh...I...i've got to go."She looks really sad and on the verge of tears. Piper is shocked. Marisa gets up fast throws her trash out and then starts to walk away from the table but she falls because someone didn't throw their empty soda can away. No one at the table moves. "Wow thanks guys."She thinks to herself. She gets up and leaves.

"I wonder what that was about."Piper says mostly to herself.

"I don't know."Leo says in answer to Piper.

After school Piper and Leo go out on their date and it goes great.
