"Hey Piper," David greeted taking a seat next to her. "You ready for our presentation in spells class?"

Piper fiddled with her sweatshirt nervously. "I don't know. I've never been that great with spells. It was more of Phoebe's forte." She shrugged.

He grabbed her hand soothingly and smiled. "Oh come on, you'll do fine." He squeezed her hand making her blush. "We've got this. We've been working really hard on it."

She shrugged. "I know." She laughed nervously. "I guess it's just in my nature to worry."

David nodded his head thinking of a way to switch the subject as he removed his hand from hers. "It's fine, I get it. My brother's like that too sometimes." With that he turned his head and looked around the classroom. He was ready to ace this presentation.

"Oh, you have a brother?" she asked just trying to change the subject and calm her worries. It didn't seem to help with her worries but it did change the subject.

David glanced at her and shrugged. "Yeah, he's a few years older. I think he's in Prue's year or something." He wasn't trying to be rude, but he was ready to get this project over with. As nice as Piper is, she wasn't exactly miss popular, so he didn't want to get some kind of reputation that he hung out with her. He looked at the clock on the wall hoping class would start soon.

Piper, on the other hand, seemed to have read different signs with David. He was acting so nice and maybe he did like her. After, what felt like, a two hour talk with her older sister, Prue had finally help her muster up enough courage to maybe ask him out. She bit her lip nervously and played with the tips of her hair. "So, um, do you maybe want to-" She stopped and swallowed back her nervousness. "You know-heh-maybe," she looked around a little regretting what she was saying a bit. "Like hang out?"

David awkwardly rubbed his neck as the teacher suddenly called out their names. Letting out a sigh of relief, he pointed towards the front and smiled. "That's our cue." He started heading up there hoping to figure out an easy way to put her down. He might not like her, but he wasn't going to be cruel to her by any means.

"Right," Piper replied as she stood up and began their presentation.

"So Prue, about that studying thing you told me about earlier," Andy started smiling at the black haired beauty.

"Yeah," she asked smiling hopefully.

"Do you want to do it tonight? I mean I do have a big history test tomorrow." He smiled widely at her donning his sports jacket and jeans.

"Yes," Prue said excitedly but then tried to calm herself down. "Come over to my house after school." She smiled and leaned up to kiss him on the cheek. "See you then." She didn't even care that she wasn't in his history class. She was just excited that he'd asked.

Andy approached the old Victorian manner and rang the door bell. He tapped his leg nervously hoping that their Grams didn't answer the door. He might've grown up with them, but he wasn't crazy enough to tell her that he'd asked her granddaughter on a study date. He was confident but not suicidal.

Prue looked at herself one more time in the mirror smoothing over her bangs and opened the door. "Hey Andy."

"Hey Prue, um, where are we studying at?" He came into the house and looked around. He hadn't been in the house for a year and not much had changed.

"Umm, up in my room," she said indicating the stairs. She grabbed his hand and lead him up. "My sisters are at their private school till four, and my Grams ran to the grocery store."

"Oh," he said nervously. He wasn't expecting to be completely alone with her. He shook his head. God, why was he acting like such a dork? He was going to be alone with one of the most popular girls in school. As they made their way upstairs, both kept quiet until they reached the room.

"Here we are." She opened the door, and he was surprised to see her room was actually pretty clean.

"Nice room," he commented making Prue smile. "Where are we setting up?"

She pointed to the bed. "There's fine." He nodded his head and set his books down. He opened his history book and began reading. Prue frowned completely confused. "Um," she said not quite knowing what to say. She plopped down on the bed and looked awkwardly down. Man had she gotten the wrong message.

"You don't mind asking me some review questions do you?" Prue shook her head still completely confused.

"Um Andy," he looked up at her, "when you said study, I thought this was more of a date." She smiled awkwardly at him biting her lip. "I seemed to have gotten the wrong message."

Andy fumbled with his book. "I-you-I did mean this to be a date. I-I just," he paused laughing and scratching the back of his neck, "I'm not as good at these things as people may think."

They both laughed at situation. "Well, how about we close the book," she did as she was saying and leaned forward. Their lips touched as a spark was set up. Each moved closer as they began an intense make-out session.

"All I'm saying, Piper, is it's not every day you ask someone out." Phoebe said holding up her hands in defense as they made their way out of the portal.

"Why because I'm an ugly misfit, Phoebe? Because when I was eleven I wasn't macking on someone who's her older sister's age," Piper fumed following Phoebe into the kitchen.

Phoebe rolled her eyes. Here they went again with Piper's insecurities. "Please, I was just saying. I didn't mean to bag on you. Geez, you need to go have a counseling session." She opened the fridge and took the milk carton out and drank straight from the carton.

"Ew Phoebe, barf me out, and I do not need a counselor, okay." She crossed her arms and grimaced at her sister's barbaric ways.

"Whatever, Piper," She smirked and rolled her eyes again.

Piper swiped her bangs out of her face. "Whatever yourself, Phoebe. Geez, I still can't believe you think I can't get a date." She glared at her sister, clearly unhappy.

"Okay, usually, Piper, when someone says 'whatever,' it means drop the conversation. Also, he never actually answered if you guys were or not." Phoebe nodded her head and put the milk carton back in the fridge.

"Oh, and ew, Phoebe. Don't put that back!" She grimaced at her sister's ways before crossing her arms. Then she realized Phoebe was right. "Oh crap, what if he says no?" Piper was starting to freak out again. She was already so nervous when she had actually asked him.

"Then that's his loss. Plus, I think he has a brother who's a complete douche, " Phoebe paused for a second then looked at the staircase. "Where is Prue anyway? She should be home by now." Piper glanced at Phoebe as they both bounded the stairs.

Piper opened the door slightly to Prue's room and gasped.

Prue looked up from her make out session to see her sisters standing at the door. Piper freaked and held up her hands freezing Andy. "What the hell do you two think you're doing?"

"We were worried about you," Piper offered lamely. "We didn't know if a Warlock took you or something."

"Yeah," Phoebe agreed stifling a laugh at her sister making out with Andy. "And we happen to find you getting hot and heavy with the boy next door. Way to go, sis!"

"Bite me, Phoebe," Prue snapped.

Phoebe started laughing and pointed at Andy. "I would, but it seems Andy already has that covered."

Piper burst out laughing at Phoebe's comment.

"Leave now!"

"Okay Prue," Piper said as they both left the room.

They both burst out laughing as they went into the hallway. "Does she know that Andy will stay frozen like that," Phoebe said between laughs.

"I don't know."

As if on cue Prue yelled, "Damn it, Piper! Unfreeze him already!"

Piper entered into the room briefly throwing out her hand hoping she didn't blow anyone up. She quickly closed the door when she heard Prue giggle. She gagged as Phoebe and she made their way downstairs. "Gag me with a spoon, that was one of the most disgusting things I've walked in on," Piper said shaking her body out.

"I say, 'go Prue,'" Phoebe responded. "I mean, she acts like our mom all the time, it's a relief to know she's getting some. It makes her almost normal," Phoebe said laughing again.

"That's disgusting, Phoebe."

The next day at school, after the two sisters teased their older sister that morning about a certain tall, dark, and handsome fellow, Piper was eager to actually find out David's answer. She had kind of forgotten that she had asked after they had presented so well yesterday. She was pretty sure they had gotten an A, which would be a first for her in that class. She looked around the cafeteria before spotting the boy in question and walking up to him. She had been practicing this all last night.

"So, um, David," she said as he turned around. She watched as he gestured his friends away. "You never actually answered my question yesterday." She bit her lip nervously and rocked back on her heels.

"Look Piper," he began before he was swiftly cut off by a tall, mean, blonde girl who started laughing.

"You actually thought he was going to hang out with you," Missy asked as she shook her head to get her naturally perfectly curled hair out of her face. Piper really hated girls like her. She was always so perfect and always acted like she was so entitled to everything. Piper was pretty sure she was jealous because she and her sisters weren't the Charmed Ones. "Wow, here's a five for our bet, David."

Piper's brows furrowed as she looked between the two. "I don't understand."

Missy leaned forward towards her and rolled her eyes. "I'll make this really easy for you." She smiled that pompous smile she seemed to pull off so well. "He doesn't like you," she said speaking slowly and making gestures. "He only worked with you because he lost a bet with me," she finished before wrapping her arms in David's.

"What," Piper said before swallowing back the threatening bump in her throat and trying to surpress her tears.

Missy rolled her eyes and scoffed. "God, you'd think that she'd be smarter because she's special. Come on, David." She flipped her hair once more and pulled David towards their usual table.

Piper swallowed again and looked around. It was obvious that Missy had told her table as they all began laughing and pointing. She felt humiliated. Why did she ever think that she was going to actually date someone like him? He was popular and gorgeous, and she was just Piper. She quickly ran off covering her face like a leper. She sure felt like one.

Little did she know that a very pale skinned young girl with black hair and dark brown eyes was watching with anger and pity. She quickly stood up glaring at Missy as she chased after Piper.
