The school grounds were filled with life once again. The dreary and
somewhat dark, castle like, school was once again filled with laughter and
people. Although, these people weren't just any people. And this school
wasn't just any school. These people were 'the' people. And this school was
'the' school. The corridors of Hawthorne Windsor academy were no longer
empty and quiet. And the school was brought back to life as if it were a
fairy tale story. Flocks of teenager wandered and fluttered around the
school and courtyard, all wearing their respective uniforms. Girls in
quarter length sleeved blouses with their ties and black skirts. The boys
in dress pants and dress shirts with blazers and black ties.
Anyone driving by would think this was where the 'Beautiful People' got together and had parties. Every person was beautiful or handsome in each their own way. All of them unique and polite. They acted as if they had not a care in the world. Of course that was probably true. These teenagers were the children of the most wealthy families in the city of New York. Parents ranging from Senators to CEO's to Stock Market Handlers. Their average income a year was more than likely six digits long. The school had the perfect setting, the elite and rich lived here. And not one thing wasn't true about this school. It was the richest, most successful, well respected and polite school around. It housed more than seven hundred beautiful students on its campus grounds. Well, maybe one thing may be a lie. But, that you would have to see for yourself.
As the teenagers stepped out of their limos, their gaze fell upon three expensive ones driving up the pathway. On their trunks was a flag that held their family emblem. A limo with a black flag with an elegant W in its center drove up first. Second was a limo donning on a red flag with an orange stripe going through the center diagonally. And last a gold flag with a simple branch in blue painted on it. All three limos stopped once they were in a row. In unison the drivers stepped out and rounded the car to open the passenger door. Out stepped Hawthorne Windsor Academys' three most popular girls. Rei O'Hara. Mina Harper. Serena Winston. Out stepped, The Majestics.
The Majestics were the three girls who had enough popularity, brains, and beauty to make the Miss America contest look boring, make Bill Gates go out of business, and make Victorias Secret models look ugly. They had the grace of models and the brains of computers. They made the uniforms of blah, look like the latest fashion.
Rei O'Hara, the fiery one of the group. She was known for her wisdom and serious personality. She had fiery black hair and dark blue eyes that looked almost purple. Her smiled could make a heart melt, her glare could kill a man. She's the daughter of Michael and Raina O'Hara. Michael O'Hara is the Congressman of New York. Her mother Raina is the President and Founder of Raina O'Hara Fashion line.
Mina Harper, the wild one of the group. She's a girl who likes to party and knows where the best ones are. She blonde hair like gold and blue eyes like the sky. She's the more athletic one of the group. She led her Volley Ball team to three victories while she was Captain, currently working on her fourth. She is the daughter of Joshua Harper of Harper Industries, the new company that's going to make Bill Gates file for Bankrupt.
Serena Winston, the princess of the group. She's as delicate and pretty as a white rose. She's more of the calm one. Don't let her Light Blonde hair and dark blue eyes fool you. You don't want to be on her most wanted dead list. She's on most of the committees and is the Captain of the Cheerleading Squad. Daughter of Ken and Ilene Winston. Ken is a well respected business man, who owns most of the software companies you can think of. Ilene is a Interior Designer, who has currently designed Jennifer Lopez's new Apartment and George Clooneys' mansion.
The stepped out of the car and smiled at each other. Slowly grabbing their bags and having their butlers carry their suitcases as they ascended the stairs the great hallway.
"Oh my god. This year is going to be the best." Serena squealed as she appeared in the doorway of her bedroom.
"Yeah, I can't believe it. Finally, we're Juniors. I mean its nothing compared to Seniors but still. Junior year will be the bomb." Mina winked as she ordered her butler to take her bags to her room.
"Would you two stop already? I don't know, but something is going to happen. For better or for worse, I have no idea." Rei said as she came out of her room.
"Oh would you stop. Since you predicted those lotto numbers for channel thirteen news, you've been getting all weird on us Rei." Serena laughed.
"Oh, and you can't forget the time Rei said that it would rain on Tuesday. And look what happened. It rained. All day." Mina smiled.
"So, I'm getting better. I think my psychic powers are getting stronger." Rei said as she started unpacking.
"And I'm growing a third head." Mina rolled her eyes.
"Guys, guys. Come on. Don't start fighting. We have to go check out those two new girls." Serena reminded.
"Huh, what two new girls? Have you been holding out on us Serena?" Rei and Mina said in unison.
"No, I told you about them last night. Their names are Ami Anderson and Lita Marcus." Serena replied nonchalantly.
"Oh yeah, didn't they used to live in Albany or something?" Mina muffled out of her stuffed mouth.
"Mina?! I saved those for tonight." Rei growled in frustration.
"Sowwy." Mina spat out a few cookie crumbs.
Rei couldn't keep a straight face anymore and started laughing. "You pig."
Mina just smiled a cheesy smile and went back to munching on her cookies. After the girls had got settled in. They went to search for their fellow girls.
It didn't take long, considering Ami and Lita's dorm was right across the hallway from theirs. They knocked on the door and stood waiting.
"Hello, may I help you?" A girl with short blue hair asked.
"Um, hi. My name is Serena and these are my friends Rei and Mina." Serena smiled.
"We just wanted to welcome you to Hawthorne Academy." Rei butted in.
"Th-thank you. I-uh would you like to come in?" Ami stuttered.
"Yeah, you got any cookies?" Mina poked her head through the door.
Serena and Rei exchanged glances before apologizing for their friends behavior.
"You see, she's been on this no sweets diet for the summer. Now that the summer is over, she gets to pig out all she wants." Serena said as she tried to find Mina behind Ami's form.
"Uh oh." Ami said.
"What does 'uh oh' mean?" Rei asked suspiciously.
"My roommate, Lita, just bought a new batch of cookies." Ami slowly turned her head toward the kitchen.
"HEY!? WHO ARE YOU?" A voice could be heard.
"Hewwo muh name is Munna. Nie ph met woo. May I haf anoda cokie?" Mina's voice echoed.
"Uh, I think we should detain her." Serena said as she pointed to the kitchen.
"Uh huh, before your kitchen is raided of cookies." Rei said.
Ami laughed, "Come on in."
"Mina! Honestly, do we have to stick you back on that diet?" Serena laughed as Mina and Lita walked out of the kitchen holding a jar of cookies.
"Mina say you're sorry." Rei commanded.
"But she said I could have them!" Mina whimpered.
"Its okay." Lita laughed. "I should take it as a compliment I guess. I know where to shop."
Serena smiled. "I was wondering if you wanted to hang out with us sometime..."
"Yeah, we have our own parties and that sort." Rei smiled along with Serena.
"Off campus? I can't go." Lita said sadly.
"No, they're on campus." Mina said as she was licking the chocolate off of her fingertips. "Just none of the faculty knows."
"But-" Ami started.
"No buts. We're having a party this Friday. Be there. Oh, and tell the students at the door that you're friends of the Majestics." Serena winked.
"Oh, well...-" Lita and Ami exchanged glances.
"It'll be fun." Rei laughed. "Come on. Everyone has a little wild side."
"With the exception of you, who has the largest wild side ever." Mina raised an eyebrow at Rei's comment.
"Oh shut up."
Serena started dragging the two away, to the door. "I think we're gonna go now. Call us, or come visit. Our dorm is right across from yours. Buh bye!" With that Serena shut the door behind her and the two girls arguing.
"That was....interesting." Lita commented still staring at the way the girls exited. "Um, you could say that." Ami raised an eyebrow at the door.

Serena, Mina and Rei walked down the corridors to their first class. Each catching their own admiring glances from the student body. Everyone seemed to move out of their way, not wanting to bump or hurt the girls in anyway.
Serena flipped one of her golden pigtails over her shoulder as she turned the corner. That's when it happened. The greatest thing that ruined her day.
"Ouch!" She fell to the ground with a thump. "Could you watch where you're going? You can kill a person like me doing that."
"I was just walking. If I can kill you doing that, I can't imagine what would happen if I ran into you." A deep voice said with a bit of sarcasm.
"Oh...never mind. I'm sorry." Serena started getting up, when a pair of strong arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her up from the ground.
"Hey, I can do it.......by.........my............self." Serena gazed at the man, whom the arms belonged to.
"Uh huh." He said in a rather cocky manner.
Finally remembering that he was the cause of her fall she snapped back into reality.
"I can! Now let go of me." She slapped his hands away. "I don't even know your name."
"Darien Shields." The voice came.
"Yeah, well. You're name doesn't mean shit." She turned away and started smoothing out her dress.
"Oh, but in this school it does." Darien started at her amused.
"Yeah, well, if names are worth something. Mine far out does yours." She remarked.
"Hello? We're still here ya know?" Mina laughed.
"Come on Serena, we don't need any of this." Rei started pulling her friend away. "Oh, come come ladies. Don't you want to spend time with your beloved." He motioned toward himself.
"I'd rather become a nun." Serena spat.
"Ouch. Dare she got you there." Another guy spoke up.
"Shut up Kunzite."
"Let's just go Serena. We have a party to prepare for." Rei pulled Serena away and started heading down the corridor.
As soon as they were out of earshot Darien smirked. "Gentlemen, I believe we have a party to crash."
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ *^*^*^*^*^*^*^
That Friday Night....
"You guys this party is awesome!" A guy with dark brown hair came up to the three girls.
"Thanks. We owe it all to Mina who got us the DJ." Rei laughed.
"And where'd you find this wine?" The guy laughed. "It's like nothing I ever tasted before."
"Daddy imported it from Spain!" Serena shouted over the loud music.
The girls had made it through the first week, charming the teachers and showing the school who ruled. They hadn't seen much more of Darien and his group. And they intended to find out about them.
"This is going to be the start of many great parties!" She shouted to Rei.
"I wouldn't be so sure guys! Look who got in!" Mina pointed with a glass in her hand to the entrance in which Darien and his group had walked through.
"Shit, what the hell are they doing here?" Rei said annoyed.
"I don't know. I told the guys at the door to watch out for them." Mina defended.
"Ugh, I think I'm going to have to go shove somebodys' ego out the door." Serena handed her drink to someone on the dance floor and walked over to Darien.
"And who invited you?" Serena shouted up at him.
"No one, I invited myself." "That's great and all, but you know what? I want you out!" Serena practically screamed.
"And why would you want that? You do realize I have every girl falling for me."
"With the exception of me and my friends." Serena smirked.
"Yes, well, I said every girl. Not every bitch."
"I'll take that as a compliment."
"You would. Anyways, why do you have these little pathetic parties?" Darien laughed.
"They aren't pathetic."
"Oh yeah, why don't you invite some guys from out of the school. Like St. Claire Van Thorpe Academy."
"Ugh, as if. They are a bunch of dicks that have no idea what the word 'rich' means."
Darien ushered her through the dance floor. "So, you don't like those who aren't in your league."
"Yeah, does that explain why I don't like you?" Serena tried to stop but he had a firm grip on her waist.
"It makes it crystal clear." Darien said as he looked down at her.
"Yeah, well now that we see eye to eye. Can you get the hell out? And where are you taking me?" She shouted, although the music drowned most of it out.
"Outside, where we can talk."
"Oh, that's gonna be fun." She said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"You don't know how much." He turned and they stepped outside of the building.
"Fine, what do you want now?" She yelled forgetting she didn't have to now that she was outside.
"Damn, I'm sorry I ever talked to you." He rubbed his ears.
"Sorry, anyways. What do you want to talk to me about?" Serena said in a calmer tone. "I heard about you. That you're the ideal student, daughter and person. You're perfect. But, what about this little secret life?" As he said the last part he motioned to the party.
"You forgot pretty, popular, sexy, smart, and perfect." She smiled. "Uh, and conceited too." He added silently.
"What was that?" Serena played innocent.
"Nothing, anyways, I'm the exact same standards as you."
"Almost...the exact same standards as me." She raised an eyebrow."
"What ever. Can you imagine what it would be like to be the perfect couple?" Darien gave an impish grin.
"Yeah, I've had about four of those before, so I can."
"What about Stephen? Was he the perfect guy?" Darien said seriously.
Serena stayed quiet for a few seconds before opening her mouth to answer. Nothing came out. Ouch, he hit her where it hurt.
"Is this a deal of some kind?" Serena looked up at him
"Maybe, Stephen is coming back you know. And he's your past, do you want him to haunt you?"
"How do you know about my goddamn past?" She said in a harsh whisper.
"Oh, the great privileges of the internet and having lots of money. You can find out about almost anyone by using both of those."
"Damn."
"Uh huh, plus, I know you ordered my files too. So basically, we have black mail on each other."
"What the hell do you want?"
"Give me half of the fame and fortune. And I'll give you your files back." He teased her by holding them above her head.
"No, this is MY school. MY life. MY pride."
"Oh cut the crap Serena, just do it."
"No."
"And why not?"
"I refuse to give into you because of these papers." Out of nowhere she pulled out the papers he was formerly holding in his hand. She started walking away when he called out something.
"Serena Winston, born June 30 1986. Visited clinic to get checked out about pregnancy issues." He called out to her retreating back.
She stopped dead in her tracks. And slowly turned around.
"You bastard, you memorized my file."
" You went to cheerleading camp the summer of third grade, and you passed with flying colors. I think you were a flyer?" He said almost too confidently.
"So, you know?"
"Yeah, why do you put on this act Serena? Why do you act like you are all tough and bitchy?" Darien's eyes softened.
"Becuz, I know if I can make it seem like guys can't reach me, they'll stop trying to get me to love them and just admire me." She stared at the ground.
"You're afraid to get hurt again. This isn't you Serena. What happened to the caring polite little child that never swore or hated anything."
"She left, along with Stephen."
"I see, Serena. Just act like you used to. I promise no one will ever hurt you like he did. I swear. You can trust me."
"Why do you put up an act?" Her blue eyes stared up at him, almost to the brink of tears.
"What?"
"Your act. You sounded to cocky and mean. And thats not the real you. Well, it doesn't seem like it atleast."
"It is me. I guess I have a soft, if thats what you want to call it. But, I can be mean and have a big ego sometimes. Its the real me."
"I don't know. I don't know who you are or how you know me, but I guess I'm going to have to trust you."
"Serena, just go back to the way you were before you met Stephen. Stop trying to act as if you are untouchable. Just be the happy-go-luck, carefree, smart, innocent person you were."
"Can't you see that I can't!? Stephen took my innocence, and claimed that he was doing it for love. And I'm not as smart as you think I am. I believed him when he said we would be together forever."
"Just drop the act. Keep your wild side. But, go back to being who you are. Not something that covers that up."
"I guess, but, you can't tell anyone."
"Trust me Serena, I wouldn't let this out..."
Serena sniffled. "You know more than you should. And I can't jeopardize my familys' name. What do you want with me?"
"You know what I want...You read my files haven't you?"
She looked up at him and slightly nodded.
"Then we are practically equals. Only, we can't let anyone notice us together. We can't go from one day hating each other to one day loving each other to death."
"Yeah, but who said I would love you tomarrow."
Darien just stared at her.
"Give me four months, if I even start to like you, I'll do it."
"Four months it is." **************************************************************************** *******************

"Sorry, anyways. What do you want to talk to me about?" Serena said in a calmer tone. "I heard about you. That you're the ideal student, daughter and person. You're perfect. But, what about this little secret life?" As he said the last part he motioned to the party.
"You forgot pretty, popular, sexy, smart, and perfect." She smiled. "Uh, and conceited too." He added silently.
"What was that?" Serena played innocent.
"Nothing, anyways, I'm the exact same standards as you."
"Almost...the exact same standards as me." She raised an eyebrow."
"What ever. Can you imagine what it would be like to be the perfect couple?" Darien gave an impish grin.
"Yeah, I've had about four of those before, so I can."
"What about Stephen? Was he the perfect guy?" Darien said seriously.
Serena stayed quiet for a few seconds before opening her mouth to answer. Nothing came out. Ouch, he hit her where it hurt.
"Is this a deal of some kind?" Serena looked up at him
"Maybe, Stephen is coming back you know. And he's your past, do you want him to haunt you?"
"How do you know about my goddamn past?" She said in a harsh whisper.
"Oh, the great privileges of the internet and having lots of money. You can find out about almost anyone by using both of those."
"Damn."
"Uh huh, plus, I know you ordered my files too. So basically, we have black mail on each other."
"What the hell do you want?"
"Give me half of the fame and fortune. And I'll give you your files back." He teased her by holding them above her head.
"No, this is MY school. MY life. MY pride."
"Oh cut the crap Serena, just do it."
"No."
"And why not?"
"I refuse to give into you because of these papers." Out of nowhere she pulled out the papers he was formerly holding in his hand. She started walking away when he called out something.
"Serena Winston, born June 30 1986. Visited clinic to get checked out about pregnancy issues." He called out to her retreating back.
She stopped dead in her tracks. And slowly turned around.
"You bastard, you memorized my file."
" You went to cheerleading camp the summer of third grade, and you passed with flying colors. I think you were a flyer?" He said almost too confidently.
"So, you know?"
"Yeah, why do you put on this act Serena? Why do you act like you are all tough and bitchy?" Darien's eyes softened.
"Becuz, I know if I can make it seem like guys can't reach me, they'll stop trying to get me to love them and just admire me." She stared at the ground.
"You're afraid to get hurt again. This isn't you Serena. What happened to the caring polite little child that never swore or hated anything."
"She left, along with Stephen."
"I see, Serena. Just act like you used to. I promise no one will ever hurt you like he did. I swear. You can trust me."
"Why do you put up an act?" Her blue eyes stared up at him, almost to the brink of tears.
"What?"
"Your act. You sounded to cocky and mean. And thats not the real you. Well, it doesn't seem like it atleast."
"It is me. I guess I have a soft, if thats what you want to call it. But, I can be mean and have a big ego sometimes. Its the real me."
"I don't know. I don't know who you are or how you know me, but I guess I'm going to have to trust you."
"Serena, just go back to the way you were before you met Stephen. Stop trying to act as if you are untouchable. Just be the happy-go-luck, carefree, smart, innocent person you were."
"Can't you see that I can't!? Stephen took my innocence, and claimed that he was doing it for love. And I'm not as smart as you think I am. I believed him when he said we would be together forever."
"Just drop the act. Keep your wild side. But, go back to being who you are. Not something that covers that up."
"I guess, but, you can't tell anyone."
"Trust me Serena, I wouldn't let this out..."
Serena sniffled. "You know more than you should. And I can't jeopardize my familys' name. What do you want with me?"
"You know what I want...You read my files haven't you?"
She looked up at him and slightly nodded.
"Then we are practically equals. Only, we can't let anyone notice us together. We can't go from one day hating each other to one day loving each other to death."
"Yeah, but who said I would love you tomarrow."
Darien just stared at her.
"Give me four months, if I even start to like you, I'll do it."
"Four months it is." **************************************************************************** *******************
