Author's notes: ok I'm rewriting the whole thing or I'm going to try. Hopefully it'll be more flow-y and easy to read. I'm going to take out some parts or rewrite it to make it different, so if u skip some parts it might get confusing.

Serena got up and looked at herself in the mirror. Her long blonde hair was all in disarray and her eyes stubbornly refused to stay open. She just wanted to crawl back into bed and never wake up. Another Monday that's what it was; what good is the day? She wrinkled her face while brushing her teeth. She got dressed, put her hair up in her usual pigtails, and looked over at her alarm clock. It read 7:45. Serena rushed downstairs and saw her mom looking energetic as usual, humming.

"Hello Serena. How was your sleep?" Serena's mom asked in her typical perky voice. Serena just grunted.

"What happened to you? You look so dead," Serena said when she saw Sammy her younger brother walk into the room.

"Well I'm glad one of us had a good night sleep. I couldn't because of your loud snoring that I could hear all the way from my room. I never thought girls were so manly but than again who would've thought you were a girl in the first place?" Sammy grinned.

"Why you little runt," Serena chased him around the kitchen table a little offended by his remark. She should have been use to it by now, since this was their daily routine, but she wasn't. Ever since forever, they've been at each other and somehow Serena came to cope with the fact that that was how they showed they cared for each other although sometimes it got to her. Sammy would say she's manly and she would respond saying he was a loser shrimp, or something along the lines. Their father walked in holding the newspaper in one hand and a cup of coffee in the other.

"How many times do I have to tell you guys?" he asked," Serena stop chasing your brother." Besides Mina's here." He sat down and opened the newspaper. She looked over at Sammy who was sticking his tongue out at her. He was such a kid. Were all twelve years olds that annoying? She would have to ask her friends later. Before leaving she took a piece of toast and gulped down some orange juice. Outside she saw Mina waiting patiently. Back in junior high many would mistake Serena for this Mina girl, so she had to find out who she was. And that was how they became friends, because they looked alike. Their long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. But Serena's eyes were much on the lighter side. The only difference between them was, Mina was athletic and active while Serena would rather spend her time reading magazines and eating. Yes yes Serena's hobbies included friends, games, food, boys and more food. But she still managed to keep her body looking good.

"What took you so long?" Mina asked tapping her foot lightly.

"You know how my brother is," Serena answered rolling her eyes. They walked together to school like they did every morning. When they got to school they caught up with Lita and Ami. They then join Rey who was already waiting at the front of the school. As they were about to go inside a loud roar in the parking lot made their heads turn back, along with every other ones that were around. The first thing Serena saw was a red dodge viper driving into the school parking lot. The ones that you would see in movies and see only the rich afford. And there it was shining like the hot red sun and comes out the sun god, Apollo himself, also known as Darien. He was the center point where everything and everyone revolved around it. Serena could hear the other girls sigh with pleasure. She looked back to her friends and noticed them still gawking.

"Oh please. Are you serious?" Serena asked loudly. Her friends looked at her quite amused that Serena's still had her mind set on hating him for the rest of her life.

"C'mon Serena, are you saying you don't think Darien's gorgeous?" Mina asked.

"What's so gorgeous about a rich popular stuck up who breaks girls' hearts for fun?"

"Well he had his moments where he was a "pimp" I guess but he also had his share of serious relationships."

"Stop defending him Rey. You guys are so odd. I hate him. He's such a--."

"Hunk?" Serena rolled her eyes," I mean there are those "popular" kids that I like. You know the ones that don't let their ego get to their head and are friendly with everyone. Like Andrew."

"And Darien's not one of them? Serena it may be possible that you're the only one who's blind. That's the thing. He's hot, smart, athletic, and nice. Which is why we can't help ourselves. We don't mind that he's a player," Mina grinned. They made their way into the school and to their lockers.

When Darien got out of his car he went over to his group of friends. He stood next to Andrew laughing, flashing his cute and famous smile just because he was glad that he was with his group of boys. One of his friend gave him a high five and said," Hey I heard Beryl broke up with you. Is that true? You were serious with her though right?"

Darien shrugged. "Why are you so nosy?" he played around," Besides, that was history. You win some you lose some." They seemed to be content with the answer and shrugged it off.

In homeroom Serena sat with her chin to her hand as she watched all the girls crowd around Darien's desk fussing and giggling like idiots.

They're so pathetic. What do they see in him? They think he's so sweet. He's the opposite! All he does is make fun of me. Why is he nice to every other girl but me? The announcements came on and everyone scattered to their seats.

…………………
Serena sat watching the clock slowly tick, but not slow enough. She dreaded the high pitched sound of a whistle; specifically at this time. Only sixty seconds until it the bell would ring indicating that fourth period would be over. 5-4-3-2-1 RRRIIINNGG! Serena darted out of the class walking fast and cautiously trying to hide in the mob of students in the hallway.

"Why do you look like you stole something?" Serena jumped and turned around. It was only Andrew. She let out a sigh of relief.

"Oh thank god it's only you. I thought you were someone else."

"You mean me right?" Serena turned back around and saw Chris.

"Get away from me," Serena said and started to walk away. Andrew tagged along in silence since they were going to the same classroom anyways. Chris ran and placed himself in front of Serena

"C'mon admit it. The only reason you come this way is to see me," he grinned. Andrew stared entertained.

"Please. You wish. This is the shortest way to my next class and if I go any other way I know I'll be late." Why is the school so big? Serena walked around him.

"Go out with me? You know you want me." Honestly this boy is so weird. Serena felt harsh labeling him the loser who tried too hard but in a way that was what he sort of was. Like Farmer Ted from sixteen candles. That was a perfect example of him!

"How long are you going to keep bothering me?" She walked away and Andrew followed. He noticed Darien walking with him watching the drama. Chris went in front of her again and Serena started to get pestered.

"Until I become your boyfriend. It's pathetic how you don't like having one," Chris said mockingly.

"Get away! Haven't I told you? I DO happen to have a boyfriend," Serena lied. Was that too loud? Darien and Andrew looked at her shocked but didn't disrupt.

"Oh really? And who might this boyfriend be?" Serena grabbed the nearest hand around her thinking it was Andrew. This was perfect. She knew he would understand. After seeing everything, he had to understand and hopefully play along. She saw some people stop in the hallways and even heard some gasps. Serena didn't care. She saw Chris's face twist and she smiled.

"He's your boyfriend?" he asked.

"Yes so you better leave me alone. Or my boyfriend won't be too happy."

"Got that bud? Leave my girl alone." Serena felt strong arms around her, but the voice did not belong to Andrew. She looked up and saw Darien smiling down at her. Serena looked away frowning. Her eyebrows wrinkled and she cursed at herself. What had she gotten herself into?

"W-wait, there's been a-a—," Serena tried to mutter out.

"C'mon babe, you don't want to be late for class. Let's go," Darien smiled angelically down at her. Serena kept her head down and walked away not wanting to see anybody's face. What had she gotten herself into?
