"Where am I?" I ask myself. I'm walking but I don't feel my legs. I see the cliff right ahead. Why am I heading towards it? I keep on walking. My whole body and mind is numb. I'm almost at the tip of the cliff. I don't feel any fear. Why is that? I start to close my eyes as I start to fall. Falling. Falling. I suddenly open my eyes and I suddenly realize what I'm heading for. "I'm going to die!" My mind screams. I hit the ground with great impact and feel the pain. "I'm alive!" I whisper. I try to stand but my whole body is broken. Suddenly I hear footsteps. "Help!" I scream but the footsteps are no longer there.
"Serena! Serena! Wake up!" "What is it, mom? It's Saturday for crying out loud!" I grumble. "It's Monday! M-O-N-D-A-Y!! Monday!" My mother spells out Monday in my ears. "Oh! Right! What the hell! Can't I be absent? I think I'm sick?" I rub my sleepy eyes while trying to look as sick as possible.
"You can't fool me, Serena! Now go to school or your grounded!" She threatens me. I hate it when she threatens me. When I have my own child one day. I'm going to make sure that I don't threaten her ever! And I'm definitely allowing her to be absent if she doesn't want to go to school.
I got off my bed and stomp my way towards the bathroom. "I'll put your clothes on your bed and your breakfast is ready downstairs. I'll be going now sweetheart! Listen to your teachers and don't start any fight!" My mom tells me before going out of my room.
When I heard her start the car downstairs, I suddenly scream with all my might. "I'm eighteen for crying out loud! I know which things are right and wrong!" My tears mix with the water in my face. I heard the car left and I sat in the bathroom floor and let my mind wander. Darien Shields. My bestfriend. I remember when we were young. He was a newcomer and I was his only friend. Now he's Mr. Popular and maybe I'm the only one who still thinks that were supposed to be close friends. I know what your thinking. I'm such a loser, right? Yeah!
I open my eyes and realize that I dozed off for a while. I grab the shampoo and placed a handful in my hair. My hair is probably what takes my time in the bathroom. You see, my hair is not shoulder length or waist length. It's knee length and golden. I love my hair! Darien once said that my hair makes me look much more prettier.
I rinsed my hair and dried it. I put on the clothes my mom placed on the bed. "She is so super conservative!" I complain. I look at the sweater and jeans. I try not to gag at the sight of it. That is probably why Darien doesn't want to hang out with me anymore. I'm so conservative! All the girls that hover around him are wearing mini skirts and tank tops and me? An old fashioned sweater and jeans. And to think it's not even cold. No wonder some people laugh at me in the hallway. I have no taste at all! But it's not me who's choosing my clothes.
I want to tell them all especially Darien but I don't want to tell them that I'm such a mommy girl. That would make me a complete loser! I dried my hair with a blower and made it into two buns of each side. This is my favorite hairstyle ever since I was in middle school. I want to tell you what made me want this hairstyle but it's such a long and boring story so you'd thank me for not telling you. I look at myself one more time in the mirror and went to school.
I arrive in school thirty minutes later. The school is deserted. I look at my watch. It's still 8:30. School still starts on 10:00. "Sheesh!" I went to my locker and grab the books needed for the day. "Hey!" A masculine voice says. "Oh! Darien. Why are you here so early?" I ask him. "Nothing. I just feel like being early." He shrugs. "Whatever!" I slam my locker. "So, why are you here so early?" He asks me. "As usual, I'm always here early for your information." I said and left him there.
I sat in the bench outside school and open my History book. I don't know why but this seems to be my favorite subject. I forget about my own life and I am absorbed by the world of the heroes and time. "Reading again, huh? Is that all you ever do?" Darien asks me. "Yeah! So what if I like to read, huh?" "Nothing"
Later. I wake up and look at the bright sunlight. RING! RING! That's the school bell! I look for Darien but he's nowhere near. "He probably left me." I mutter. "What? Who left you?" Darien suddenly appears. "What the hell are you trying to do! Kill me with heart attack?!" I scream. "Calm down. I was just getting a drink for you. I know when you wake up your mouth will be so dry because all of your loud snoring when you were sleeping!"
"Shut up!" I roll my eyes and grab the drink Darien bought for me. "Hi Darien!" A gorgeous girl is coming towards Darien. Damn her outfit! I think that's the latest style she's wearing. A backless tank with the very short shirts and super high clogs like the spice girls. "Hi Jen! What's up?" Darien asks her. "Just the usual! Anyway! When's our next date? That last date was simply amazing." She looks at him with these sparkling eyes. Ewww! She's such a flirt. I swallow the coke. I look at Darien to see if he's exactly thinking the way I'm thinking. The girl is a whore!!!!!
"I enjoyed that date too!" Darien replied happily. Could that possibly be Darien? No! An alien has abducted him! When we were young we used to have the same thoughts. We used to be so connected and we could feel what the other is feeling. Well, times change Serena and you can't blame time. "I'm going!" I stood up. I waited for him to ask me where I'm going but it's as if he never heard me. He kept on talking to that Jen girl.
Why is he so insensitive! What a friend. Am I the only one thinking that were friends? I hate this! I feel like an idiot for sticking with him. When he was made fun of. I always stood by him and protected him when we were young but now what? He doesn't even give a damn about me.
"Who's that girl Darien? I didn't know your friends with her?" Jen asks him sweetly. "Oh her? We just hang out!" Darien said.
Is that what we are? Hang out! Not even friends? What a loser I've been thinking that we were the best of friends. I'm sick of this Darien Shields. So I was just your shadow all along these years. Well, I'm officially retiring! I'm getting myself a life from now on! Goodbye forever Darien Shields!!!!!!!!!! From now on, I'm going to be a new Serena!
