It had been at least 2 weeks since Piper and Jason had hung out together. Sure they go to the same school but Jason seemed to be hanging out with the other boys in their grade lately. One time she tried to talk to him while he was with the other boys. They pulled her hair and teased her but Jason just sat there and laughed along with them, instead of defending her like a good friend.
Piper had other friends of course. Serena, Katie, Travis, Conner, and Hazel. They were really nice and funny but nothing like Jason. Or the old Jason anyway. She missed him. She missed all the fun things they did like; building snowmen, making snow angels, baking brownies, and being best friends in general.
Most people would give up and continue their lives but, Piper isn't like that. Jason has been a huge part of her life for so long that she refuses to let him go this easily. She was getting her best friend back.
Jason felt different. It started a couple days after he and Piper went to the woods. The night before he had been so excited to see Piper again and hang out with her. But the next morning he woke up with a weird feeling in his chest.
He brushed it off thinking it was just the winter cold but that was a mistake. Another thing that came with the cold feeling was a change of thoughts. He changed his opinions about people. All of a sudden he didn't really like Piper anymore. He couldn't understand why he had hung out with her for so long. All the things he used to love about her like, her outfits, her crazy sense of humor, or her imagination were now the things he hated.
"What about Dylan and his friends?" a part of his mind whispered. "They're cool and funny. They make fun of people and get away with it. Everyone respects them. Maybe you should hang out with them instead of the baby, Piper." It continued.
Trusting his dark thoughts Jason had made up his mind. He was going to join Dylan and his friends, Luke, Ethan, and Octavian during lunch today. Hopefully, he could avoid Piper. She should have grown a long time ago and now Jason was doing just that.
