underacknowledged fact about piper is that she's not just rich but unlike rachel she was attending wealthy private schools for most of her life. like she was probably wearing the whole typical uniform and surely receiving top tier education but was no doubt surrounded by a bunch of wasps kids at numerous pwis - and she had 0 friends growing up. she hated those private schools and rebelled on purpose and desperately wanted to go to a school for "normal" kids. she got kicked out these places over and over again but her dad kept finding new ones to dump her in, and she only got sent to the wilderness school because that was specifically part of the deal her dad's assistant brokered with the police, otherwise she would have just ended up at another one
so basically what I'm saying is that she knows how bad it can be when a neglectful father throws you into private school so she should hang with rachel and charmspeak her dad into getting her out of clarion academy as a treat ๐

And it works. It works like a CHARM. Silly problems require silly solutions!

๐ Desperate Plea: Your Donation Could Save My Family from Gazaโs War ๐๐ข
Dear friends,
My name is Waleed Alanqar, I come to you today with a heart shattered by fear and despair ๐. My family and I are trapped in Gaza, where the war has left us in a constant state of terror. Every day we hear the sounds of destruction and see the devastation that surrounds us. We are not safe. The lives of my children, my loved ones, and myself are in immediate danger ๐ข.
We have no choice but to flee. I have found a chance to escape through the Rafah Border Crossing, but without the necessary funds, this escape will be impossible. The cost of this journey is far beyond anything I can afford, and I am running out of time.
I am begging for your help ๐. Please, I urge you to consider donating to my GoFundMe campaign. Any amountโno matter how smallโcan be the difference between life and death for us ๐. Every dollar brings us one step closer to safety, away from the horrors we face every single day.
The situation is urgent. We cannot wait. The bombs are falling, the suffering is unbearable, and I am terrified that we will not survive this nightmare unless we get out soon ๐. Your generosity can save lives, and we need your support right now.
Please, if you can, donate. If you cannot donate, sharing this message could be the action that brings help to us. But I am pleading with youโwe need your help today. Tomorrow might be too late ๐.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for acting in this moment of desperation.
