It was the first day of Junior year for Piper. Honestly, unlike most girls her age, she was excited to start off the new school year. She had missed a lot of her friends over the summer due to the fact she was dating this nice boy named, Larry her friend Polly, introduced her to. Apparently he was her boyfriend Pete's best friend. Piper took a shot in the dark and absolutely fell for the boy. He was everything her parents dreamed in a boyfriend for her. He was polite, came from a well off family, did good in school, never misbehaved.. Basically, he was a male version of Piper in many ways. Piper had spent nearly every day with him over the summer. He even went up to her grandfather's old fishing cabin with the Chapman family. While there, Piper lost her virginity to the sweet Jew Boy. They had the perfect relationship that every girl dreamed of having. Sadly though, the duo only had one class together throughout the whole school day, which was their third hour Science class. Piper was happy that they had that class together. She sucked at Science, he knew it forwards and backwards. They may have lunch together, but they wouldn't know until fourth hour. The duo walked into school, hand in hand. Larry had offered to drive her today, so she took him up on it instead of riding the bus. The two stayed silent and stayed attached by their hands until they reached Piper's first hour class, Math. Oddly, she loved the class. Larry let go of her hand, leaning in to give her a kiss on the lips. "Have a good day, I'll see you in science, Pipes." He said in a soft tone.

"Thanks, you too." She spoke, walking into her classroom. Piper looked around, trying to find a seat. Most of the class was full, even though there was still five minutes until class started. At her school, your seat at the beginning of the year was your seat in that class until semesters switched. There were only a handful of seats left. There was a seat in the front, automatically out of the question. There was a seat by all of the 'Losers' of the school as her friends put it. Well, she couldn't do that. The last seat was in the back row next to this girl who looked like she belonged at a metal concert. Well, it seemed like her best option. She made her way to the back of the class, sitting next to the girl. She felt like she had seen the girl around school, but she wasn't sure. She shrugged it off, getting out all of her things like a good student would. She had a pencil and black pen on one side of her notebook and a highlighter and red pen on the other. She straightened up in her seat with a smile. She heard a chortle to her right, looking over at the person the sound came from . It was the Alternative looking girl. Boy, she sure did look so familiar... She was laughing at Piper, though she couldn't fathom why. "What's so funny?" She asked in a confused tone, tilting her head slightly.

"You," the girl stated with another laugh, shaking her head. Piper still was so confused as to what she did. 

"What about me?" She asked, slightly offended. She doesn't even know the girl and she's being judgmental? She slightly wanted to scoff. Unknowing to the fact she and her friends do it to others so often. The girl just laughed again! At this point, Piper was getting upset.

"How you have your stuff set up. Like you're excited to learn and begin another year at a shit hole where everyone either hates you or pretends to like you up until graduation and then they leave you for their new college friends." She explained, her eyebrows being raised at the tone the girl used with her. Piper was so confused. Friends would never do that. She must be a pessimist, thinking like that. 

"I am excited! I get to see all my friends, who by the way would never leave me! We all plan on going to Smith together!" She replied with thrill in her voice. Her friends all did plan on going to either Smith or UCLA so that they could stick together as much as possible.
