I stepped out of Piper's car and we raced up to the house. 

"3... 2... 1... GO!" Piper yelled and we both sprinted uphill to the house. Piper reached the top a second before I did. 

"Damn Beauty Queen, you're fast!" I wheezed. 

"Oh shut it 'Wise Girl'" she retorted. 

We entered her house and we walked up the stairs slowly, still out of breath from the race. I grabbed a Sprite from the mini-fridge and popped it open, hearing the satisfying pop. We plopped down on the bed and got to work. After awhile Piper said, "Hey Annie, you wanna take a break? When we're done I'll read you what I have for my monologue presentation." 

"Ok," I responded. 

We walked downstairs to the kitchen where we both grabbed a slice of pizza that their cook made. Our hands touched and I blushed slightly. 

We walked outside and laid down in the grass in a comfortable silence. 

"Do you ever wonder why plural goose is geese but plural moose is not meese?" Piper asked randomly. 

"Well, as fitting as it might sound, the plural of moose is not and has never been meese. And while it is tempting to switch out -oo- for -ee-, the plural of moose is simply moose, though you may occasionally see or hear the word mooses. This confusion is understandable if you consider the word goose, with its plural geese." I said. 

"Damn, Wise Girl, you sound like you copied that straight from Wikipedia!" Pipes said with a giggle. 

(umm... i definitely copied and pasted that from some website)

I laughed, a clear loud sound, and said, "I wondered that a lot when I was young too," I said. 

"Hmm, well let's head back inside and I'll read you what I have."

"Sounds good,"

We walked back to her room and she opened her laptop and began to read. 

"Did you know that for every dollar a man makes a woman only makes $0.78? And they can be doing the same exact job, for the same amount of time. Even since the "old days" people have said that women have fragile minds and they aren't capable of doing things that men do. I'm sorry, but who carried you in their stomach for 9 months and then gave birth to you? Cinderella didn't need a man! All she wanted was a day off. From cooking, and cleaning and doing all the dirty work for men. We don't belong in the kitchen! We belong doing what we want to do, not what we're told to do. We aren't toys. We aren't for show. And we most certainly are not at your disposal. It doesn't matter 'what we were wearing.' Don't assume that because I look nice that you can come here and use me." 

There were silent tears streaming down her face. 

"Pipes? What happened?" I asked, placing my hands on the side of her face and wiping the tears away with my thumbs. 

"I-I guess you deserve to know..." she started. 

"Take your time," 

"Freshman year of high school, I got together with Octavian. He was nice then. I guess... but something happened. Something changed him. He turned cold. We were at one of Leo's parties. I wore a short skirt and a cropped hoodie, that I guess looking back on it wasn't the best idea. He took advantage of that, and to save you the details, I lost my virginity. I tried to stop him. I screamed but everyone was too busy dancing and the music was too loud. I broke up with him, something I should've done a long time ago. I closed everyone off, including my former best-friend Drew. She and I were inseparable, but after what happened I was too scared to hold on. So I let go." 

I wiped off the rest of the tears and looked her straight in the eyes and said, "You are so much stronger than that Pipes," and I leaned forward and kissed her. Kissed her with all of my heart, like I'd never kissed anyone before. She was surprised at first but then leaned forward and her hands gripped my waist. I let her take control, her tongue exploring my mouth. 

(ok but can i just say that was so weird to write tho? ew lol)

I pulled away after what seemed like a million years, and saw her eyes full of hope, and pain, and love, and ...fear?
