I wasn't expecting my senior year to come to fast, it felt like yesterday I was a freshman. I waved goodbye to the school, since tomorrow is my graduation. I walked until I have gotten to a beach. I took off my shoes to let the water wash against my feet and leg as the sand sticks to them. Soon as I know it, the sun was setting down. "Tomorrow will start a new day." I am only seventeen years old. Let's just say that my mom is proud of me getting accepted into a good college even though I haven't told her which college yet. I have not seen my brother, Joey for years since he was eight and I was six. I hardly remember him. I did not receive any pictures of him and even up today I still wonder how he looks like.

My dad and mom had a divorced, long ago, it feels like I have done something to them to deserve it. I don't know what I did to cause it, all I know it could be Joey's fault, but that's not true. "Joey will never make them fight." I looked down and walking all the way home. People would push me, time to time. It was rush hour. I was stuck in a very large crowd. A man pushes me.

"Hey, watch it!" He yelled at me without knowing what really happen.

"Sorry. God Bless." He fixes his white long jacket and walks away. I notice his blue eyes. "Rude much," I whisper under my breath. I have continued my journey back home. I came across a child that was crying in a park. The boy looks hurt his mom runs over to him and helps him. I thought about how my dad took all of us once in a park. We had a picnic. I stop to think about it.

(Serenity's Past)

"Mama, when is papa getting here?" I asked since Joey was mad and unable to talk. She was getting everything ready. "Soon. He did call saying he was stuck in traffic."

Joey interrupts her and crosses his arms. His face showed sadness and hate. "No, he isn't coming. Remember last time, he stayed overtime at work when he promises me and Serenity to go to the beach or the other times." He runs into his bedroom.

"Joey!" Mother looks sadden.

"Mama, it's okay. We could go next time." It made me sad because father wouldn't come this time, nor the other times like he promises. I grab her hand. "Mama, how about us three go to the park and have fun?"

Mama bends down and hugs me. "My child."

I felt her tears on my shoulder. "Mama. Don't cry."

"Serenity, be a good girl and tell Joey to get ready. We are leaving."

I gave her hug. "Mama." I went to get Joey. He was on the bed crying. "Joey, mama said we could go to the park without papa."

Joey was upset. "Go away. I don't want to go."

"Mama was crying. Let us make her happy again." I put my hand on my hip and went up to Joey. "Get up."

He wipes away his tears. "Mama was crying?"

I nodded. "Yes, she was. Joey get ready. Make mama happy, come." I pulled his arm.

"Okay, okay. I'll get ready."

I got happy and hug him. "Big brother. Mama will be happy." He hugs me back. I bet he smiled. Everyone was ready and was about to leave when papa comes in. "Honey, oh, sorry about coming late... Oh, you were leaving?"

Mama spoke to him in a lovely tone. "Yes, dear, we are leaving. You could stay if you want. I have decided to take them. Don't worry, okay."

Father looks at us. "Joey, Serenity. I did make a promise. Let's go."

His face seems rather happy, but I knew deep down he didn't want to come with us. I wonder if he even loved us? We went to the park and had a lovely day. I have never laughed so much with father before. Mama and papa look happy. Joey did confess to me he was happy to see them happy.

I asked him. "Why? Aren't they happy all the time?"

"They seem to fight a lot lately. Papa would go to work at night." I looked at them. They seem to be happy right now. "Joey, let's fix that. Why can't we both make them spend extra time together once more."

Joey agreed. After that, it was happiness that lasted about a year, then it went downhill after that. Papa didn't love mama anymore. He took Joey and I left with mama.

….

I miss him, but after tomorrow. I'll be a free woman and get to see Joey. There was a strange boy in front of my house behind him was a huge silver limousine. I walked over to him.

"Excuse me, little boy, do you need help?" I thought his limo broke down.

"No, I'm looking for a woman named Serenity Wheeler. Do you know her?"

"Yes, I'm her." I was a little confused with why he was looking for me. So, I asked. "Why you are looking for me?"

He seems to be smart for his age. "I'm Mokuba Kaiba. I'm here for an interview, since you are going to a college that my brother's company owns."

I was shocked to learn this and I wasn't ready for an interview this early. "Um. I think it's a little early for an interview. I'm not even ready for one yet."

I look like a mess. My hair was nappy and wearing my high school uniform and not to mention that I spill orange juice on my shirt. I had one clumsy day. I still had some sand stuck to my leg. I put my hands up in front of my chest, shook them along with my head. "Not ready."

Mokuba seems not to care. "It's okay. It's only an interview. It doesn't matter how you look like. I knew you were in school since you haven't graduated yet. Tomorrow is your graduation?"

"Yes, it is. Um.." I couldn't finish.

"Miss. Wheeler, I may ask if I could take you somewhere for this interview? If you don't mind."

I turn my head to look at the limo. "Sure." I agreed.

"Come with me." He walks over to the limousine. We hop into the limo and drove off. I wonder where Mokuba is going to take me. He took out a clipboard and a pen that was attached to it. He smells the air. "It smells like orange. Anyway, since my brother is busy with his company and refused to take this job. He orders me to do his job."

I was a little more than confuse, I was nervous and embarrassed. "How old are you?" I asked him.

"Eleven." He seems to be writing down something.

"Um, what type of interview is this?"

"Yes, glad you ask. I am ordered to give you an interview, which to learn what type of person you are. You see, there were all kinds of people wanting to go, but some bad people trying to take down the good name and the reputation of the school. So, my brother took precautions and do interviews for that to stop. We do investigate on people that are not telling the truth after the interview. So, please don't attempt to lie."

He started to look at the clipboard that probably had everything that was based on me. "I see here, that your mom and dad are divorced. You have an older brother named Joey. Is that, right?" I was trying to say yes, but he continues. "Also, you are getting good grades and your future goals are to help out those in need and want to become a lawyer. Am I, right?"

I nod. "Yes."

He flips up the page. "Now tell me why would you like to go to this college?"

I place my arms on top of my lap. "Well, you see. It was enrolled in one of the pages that my teacher gave out. I happen to like the name and research it when it happens to be in the same city where my brother lives." I put my hands on each side of my thigh. "Also, it has what I'm looking for, to become a lawyer. I already got a scholarship and it will benefit me. I will work hard to get what I want in life. I have no intentions of becoming those bad people to take down the school, in fact, I want to go in, order for me to move out from my house." I gave my honest answer to him. He didn't smile nor gave me anything else to talk about. The car stops.

"Come with me. We are meeting up with someone important." The chauffeur opens the door. We were in front of a restaurant. I was not looking forward, for anything like this today. Today, has been just unexpected. Mokuba and I went in. The place was huge and classic. There were a few people in here.

A waitress was out front of us waiting. "Mokuba, your table is ready."

We followed her until a man waved at us. He seems quiet young like around his late thirties. "Mokuba over here."

We were heading over there anyway. Mokuba and I took a seat. The waitress gave us a menu for us to order from. She spoke politely. "Just call if you want anything." She walked away.

I have never been in a fancy restaurant before. I looked around while they talked. I notice people were looking at me. I just felt uncomfortable. "Serenity. Are you listening?" Mokuba says.

I turn my head to see Mokuba. "Sorry. I have never been in… A.. A fancy restaurant before. I. I'm sorry." I was stuttering and doesn't seem right to be in here like this.

"You must be Serenity. I am Roy the principal of the school. Mokuba was telling me a lot about you." This rather put me in a shy state. I don't know what to do or what to say. I felt like my life was over and can't get into this college. "Serenity. Tell me, are you planning on living on campus?"

I never thought about that. I must come up with something quick. "Um, I have a brother that lives in town. I might stay with him since he lives close by."

"Very good. Now tell, how come you choose this college?" H took a sip of his coffee.

I don't know what to say. I have already explained to Mokuba about it. "Um, well. Uh." Mokuba explains to me. He gave the same answer I gave him a while ago. I was grateful.

"Okay, I just need you to sign this paperwork and mail it by tomorrow. I know you are graduating so mail it before." He took out the paper from his briefcase and gave it to me in a yellow folder.

I smiled. "Thank you and I will. It was nice meeting you."

It made him smile. "Nice to meet you too. I am looking forward to seeing you next month when you start school."

"Yeah, I just hope going to this college could help me to accomplish my goals." I was slightly shy while saying it.

"I hope so too. If you find yourself with problems or troubles before coming, please contact me or Mokuba." He gave me a business card and Mokuba too.

I nodded. "I will."

"Now, that the interview is over with. I would like to order something." Mokuba opens the menu.

I need to stop this, need to get home by three. "Mokuba, I need to get home. My mother will get mad at me."

Mokuba agreed. "Okay, I'll come back later. Roy just ordered and I'll pay for it, okay."

Roy chuckles. "You bet. I'll order all the good food."

I notice Mokuba sweat drop. "Don't get overboard."

Mokuba and I left the restaurant. I hold the document in my hands. Mokuba looks at me with a particular face. "You seem so happy."

"I am. I can't wait to start. I can't help myself to feel this way. It's like a new beginning for me." I was smiling all the way home before getting off. Mokuba speaks to me. "Serenity, welcome to a new start in your future."

I put my head down while blushing. "Thank you for your help." I went into my house. Here, I thought interview took extra-long, but of my record and my good standard I was able to pass it.
