"Serena! It's so good to see you! How have you been doing?" said the brown-eyed waitress Daisy. Serena had been going to 24season café for as long as she could remember. The café was a welcoming place for Serena. It was warm, and comfortable with its beanbag chairs and caring people.She came here every time things got too much. When the scouts were insulting her. Calling her lazy, useless, and pathetic. When Darien insulted her hair, grades, and looks.
She came here to get away. Everyone adored her here. They treated her with respect and love. When she had a klutz attack they laughed with her, not at her.

"Daisy! I'm good. I failed another test. Nothing new there. I just thought I would swing by, and say hello." Said Serena. " Aw babe, people bothering you again?" said a knowing Daisy. She had met Serena when she had just moved here. She was on her way to work when she had run smack into Serena. After apologizing, Serena had just laughed. She had said 'its not often that people run into ME. I'm usually the klutzy one.' Daisy had immediately been drawn to Serena's smile.

"Sere. You are fifteen years old. Just because you fail a test once in a while, doesn't mean that your friends can treat you like they do! You are so much better then them!"

" They aren't that bad. They really are good people. They are just disappointed in me." Said Serena with a sad smile. " That doesn't matter! You come in here twice as much as you used to. And don't tell me it's just because of the milkshake. Don't think that I don't know about the crown arcade!" said Daisy with a wagging finger. Serena just laughed and said, " I know. Things are just really crazy right now. And are you telling me that you don't enjoy seeing my lovely face around?" making a shocked face. " Oh I love it. I just wish you didn't need to come here for the reasons you do. Now, I love you, and you will always be welcome here. I just wish you would let me tell those 'friends' a thing or two. Now, what can I get you hon?" " I cant believe you still bother asking.." said serena.

" Shaky shady Chocolate milkshake it is. Who knows, maybe one day you will come into a café for coffee! Imagine!" said a jokingly Daisy. "Oh the horror! Coffee? I'm short as it is!" said Serena teasing back.

Please Review and let me know what you think. I wont keep the story going if I dont get reviews.
