Hello! i've been having trouble getting down and actually typing because of school, so i may not be updating as much now, but i'll try my best.

Also, to anyone who read my story Not For Me, i was struck by a bolt of inspiration and made a second chapter. Anyone who reads and reviews the story are on my list of favourite people.
Anyways, enjoy the chapter!


Again, the boys left Piper to go to their dorm, with promise to meet her back at the track in half an hour. Piper left, watching Jason walk away with Leo. She was not staring at him, she decided. It didn't matter that every time he looked at her, her heart sped up a little bit, or every time he smiled the world seemed a little brighter, or the adorable little smile he always had on is face… no. She wasn't falling for him. She couldn't. As soon as they finished at the Wilderness School, he would go back home to wherever he lived, and she would be shipped off to another fancy boarding school by her dad, and they would probably never talk again.

The thought gave her a heavy heart as she trudged towards the dorm. She new it was ridiculous; she had known him for less than a day. There was just something oddly appealing to him, like a magnet drawing her closer.

She came up to her dorm, opened the door and immediately wished she were dead. The reason: sitting on one of the other beds, applying make-up while talking, were Isabel and two of her friends, Anna and Lea. Piper groaned inwardly.

Isabel saw her, and her perfectly manicured eyebrows shot up. "Oh, no," she sneered. "Tell me she is not sleeping in the same room as us."

"Trust me, I don't like it any more than you," Piper snapped back, feeling her face burning as she walked by Isabel and sat down on her bed.

"Where did you come from?" Isabel asked, faking innocence. "Trailer park or foster home?"

Piper would have happily decked her, but it was her first day and she was determined to be good, so she just grit her teeth and dug through her bag, looking for a book to entertain herself with.

"Did you cut your hair with nail clippers?" Isabel continued. Piper spun around, he hands clenched. "Ooooh," Isabel giggled. "What are you going to do? Are you going to punch me?"

"Shut up," Piper snapped, turning back to her suitcase and searching for her book unsuccessfully. Isabel kept teasing.

"You know, there's this thing called make-up," she mocked. "It might help with that pimple on your nose."

Piper wheeled around again, her hands clenched tightly and her breath shallow. She wanted so badly to do something to Isabel, to hit her, or push her, or rip her hair out…

"I think it looks cute," a new voice cut in. Piper looked up, surprised. Jason waltzed into the room, Leo right behind. Leo had changed back into his army jacket and was constructing a car with metal nuts for wheels.

"The pimple, I mean," Jason added, looking around a tweaking the curtains. "Nice curtains, Piper."

Leo bounced on Isabel's bed, and from the way she crinkled her nose, it annoyed her as much as he hoped it would. "Man, why is her bed so much comfier than mine?"

Isabel seemed at a complete loss of words as Jason and Leo cheerfully explored the room. Jason examined Isabel's overnight back, wrinkling his nose at the smell of perfume that it reeked of.

"I like it here," Leo announced, ending up sitting on one of Anna's bed and looking around brightly, completely oblivious to the girl glaring at him.

"Same," Jason agreed, plopping down onto Lea's bed and smiling. "What should we do, Piper?"

"Get out!" Isabel shrieked as Leo propped his feet up on her bed, so he was suspended between Anna's and Isabel's beds, head on one and feet on the other. Isabel smacked his feet away and he rolled off, laughing as he hit the ground with a solid thunk. Jason smirked, and Piper was proud of the fact it didn't make her stomach jump… much.

"Why are they here?" Anna asked. Piper rolled her eyes, thinking she probably wasn't the brightest. Lea had her eyes fixed on Jason, which gave Piper the urge to smack her.

"We're bugging you," Leo said bluntly. "Come on, Piper. Let's go do something."

Piper found herself grinning at the astounded looks on Isabel and her friends faces as she walked out the door with Leo and Jason. Leo gave a cheeky wave and Jason winked, before shutting the door.

"Thanks, guys," Piper grinned once they were down the stairs and outside. "I hate her already."

"I'm not normally one for first impressions," Jason agreed. "But yeah, I don't like her much."

They reached the doors and stepped outside. It was August twentieth, but with the sun shining and a cool breeze blowing it was a perfect temperature.

"We could play basketball," Jason suggested. "I can't shoot worth hell, but we can easily try."

They ended up grabbing the nearest court to them and a pretty decent ball. It was slightly deflated, but better than most of the ones that were littered over the grass area that most of the kids were now hanging out.

Jason was, true to his word, completely awful. He couldn't shoot, he could barely dribble and even Piper was better at the game than him. Leo was, surprisingly, the best of them. He was quick on his feet, and although his slender hands could barely hold the ball, he thread it neatly through Jason's legs about a hundred times.

A game of basketball turned into watch Jason try to play. He ran around good-naturedly, diving dramatically for the ball and taking hopeless shots whenever he got it.

Leo seemed to be enjoying himself at being better than Jason. Piper mainly sat back and laughed as Jason tried with the same joyful spirit again and again to score on Leo.

After four hours of this, at which end both boys were drenched in sweat and panting with exhaustion. Jason had a look of utter defeat on his face, but he was grinning.

"Guess that's not my game," he gasped. Leo laughed, before shooting one last three-pointer than bounced off the rim.

"Let's go get something to drink," Leo said, whipping sweat off his brow. The three of them trudged towards the building, where most of the kids were heading for diner. Piper caught Isabel's eyes from across the field and smirked.
