Yes but Piper loses something in the shortcut

The biggest surprise for Piper was that Leo actually seemed to be useful. He moved quickly and knew exactly where he was going, though he did have a tendency to not shut up. It was tragic that meeting Leo was the closest thing to friendship since she'd arrived. Not that this annoying tiny Latino was her friend. She'd doubt she be able to look him in the eyes without crushing embarrassment after she regained her pants.

"This shortcut might be a little weird," Leo looked backwards, "But it'll totally work and we'll be fast. Just follow me Piper!"

Piper tried to run ahead with him but was still worried that anybody could walk outside and see her, she really wished she wore a bigger jacket, "Stop going so fast! I'm still pant-less!"

"Don't worry, I can't forget that part," Leo winked and while it was not flirtatious it infuriated Piper none the less, "But the quicker we are the less chance somebody will see you. Though dude you could totally just walk through the school and flaunt it I'm sure-"

He cut off after seeing Piper's stern expression. She normally was a lot less serious and maybe in a better mood she'd go along with all his dumb jokes. But right now, she just wanted to be safe and in her dorm; hopefully with her modesty again. Leo turned round the corner and signalled her forwards but when Piper followed she only saw a large bush blocking their path.

"Right, this part might be a little awkward." Leo said nervously, "But we're gonna have to crawl under here."

"Leo are you kidding me?!" Piper exclaimed.

"It's only a little dirty-" Leo waited a little before he continued, "Look, it'll be faster okay? And the chances of anybody seeing you in this hedge are pretty much zero."

"As if this day isn't humiliating enough." Piper sighed yet again, "You first then,."

Leo smiled before he started crawling in a small gap under the hedge and disappeared. Piper awkwardly got down on her knees and pushed herself forward before she started crawling. It was a lot harder with bare legs as branches tickled with her knees awkwardly hurting against the dirty ground.

"This is a terrible idea." Piper groaned, "I've got scratches across my legs."

"Oh shit, sorry, didn't really think about that one," Leo apologised, "But we're like, quarter of the way there?"

"Quarter? How long are we gonna be crawling for?!"

"Maybe just like a couple more minutes." Leo nervously said, "This is fun though right! An adventure!"

"You ain't the one in your undies." Piper said.

"Good point. But if I had legs like you I'd never wear pants. You are good looking." Leo followed up quickly, "Like objectively speaking."

Piper didn't know how to respond to that one except for a small blush, "Thanks. I guess."

Leo finally shut up for a bit and Piper realised she liked the constant chattering. It was a distraction from how terrible this day was going. Without him talking there was really nothing else to focus on than her own discomfort. She'd probably been a little unfair to this guy, I mean he was helping her. He could've left her or even worse, told everybody about her situation and embarrassed her in front of everyone.

"I mean really thanks, for helping. It's nice to meet somebody who is not an asshole at this school." Piper said.

"Don't mention it! I'm glad I could meet a fellow non-asshole, everybody at this school sucks so far. You've been the only interesting person I've met. And if you want me to stop teasing you about your undies just say." Leo noted Piper's silence, "Everything okay? Did I make you mad somehow?"

"No, no!" Piper said with panic rising in her voice, "Leo my panties are tangled in this fucking hedge!"
