A/n: Alright, I want to say that I've restarted this story with a remotely good reason on why. First off, I've re-read my writing and my gosh back in 2014….I can't believe how very dumb I was. Writing in first person is the WORST type of point of view to write for a story. So, this is my remake of an unfinished story. I hope this time to finish it without loose ends and to have things be clearer.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything but my oc and my idea from back in 2014
In a year of hope and dreams a young raven female with green eyes, wearing a pretty lavender dress with black dress shoes moved from a coastal school within Flordia to a county school within New York. The young female had to change Kindergarden classes and she felt beyond shy being there. She didn't believe that she would ever have any friends due to the looks that she had been given by her peers. Especially the looks she was given by a particular raven haired male trio that sat near the door.
She ignored it though as she was sat by another raven haired male who she found his name was Mako. He seemed to be nice to her and he talked to her all that day. He was happy that she actually spoke with him, especially since he didn't think that she would in the first place. But that all changed a bit when the trio she figured she shouldn't be around came around to pick on her. The middle one of them placed his hand over hers as he saw just how much of a perfectionist she was being.
He laughed as he saw her crying and Mako stood up for her since the teacher wasn't there due to talking to someone outside of the classroom, so he did what he would have done for his little brother before he reached onto the desk to get a new one for her and sat by her as she thanked him. Mako gave her a small smile as he nodded his head. "Of course, I don't like seeing pretty girls cry."
Her green eyes widen as she blushed a bit. "D-Do you really think that I'm pretty Mako?"
"Of course, I wouldn't say that for no reason silly."
The female giggled and smiled. "Okay."
After that year the young female found out that Mako was an elder brother to a male by the name of Bolin. She was shocked that he was a big brother, but she then smiled knowing that how he treated her was almost the same way which made her happy knowing that someone cared for her so much. After Mako talked about his younger brother he looked to his friend curiously. "Serena, do you have any siblings?"
Serena's eyes dimmed as she shook her head as she sighed. "No, I'm an only child."
"Oh...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." Mako said sadly
Serena soon perked up and smiled at Mako. "It's okay, there's nothing that can be done about it."
"Okay...if you say so." He said concerned
Serena ended up changing the topic as she began to play tag with him at recess. As years went by the two of them got close together. That was until Serena figured out that Mako and Bolins parents died when they were in elementary school and lived with their grandmother. Serena showed the two of them sympathy for what had happened to them as the years went by that was until Mako totally pushed her away from him when they were in their second year of high school.
Serena didn't understand what was going on with him why would he just push her away from him like that for no reason? But she soon found out that it wasn't for no reason, no there was a reason a reason being a she-reason. She was replaced by two females who had transfered into the school. Both of them snagged her only two friends in the school away from her, being that she felt alone and secluded she refused to show that it bugged her so much.
Especially when she found out that their names were Korra and Asami, she made it her life goal to just ignore the couples. Especially when they were close to her locker, it disgusted her and turned her stomach. The only thing she wished didn't change was the fact that Tahno; the male that had terrorized her as a child would keep from terrorizing her. But no, after a few months of going solo he went back to his old ways of terrorizing her to death.
"So...I see that your supposed friend has left you for two girls. Don't you feel a bit lonely Serena, seeing your best friend leave you for dead like that." Tahno said placing a hand by her locker caging the young female to where her locker was just to get the girl's full attention
"Why should it matter if I'm no longer friends with him? He should be able to do what he wants...I'm not going to be angered for it. Sure I was upset at first but I've gotten over it. So leave me alone Tahno." She said looking up to him unamused
"Are you sure about that?"Tahno asked curiously
"Yes, I'm sure about it." Serena said as she nodded her head slightly as she closed her locker door
Then just on cue Mako came down the hall with Korra around his left arm like a leech. They were laughing until Mako kissed her on the cheek. Serena didn't understand what Tahno was trying to do it confused her as she looked to him with a raised eyebow as she saw the raven haired male smirk at her, as if he knew something that she didn't.
"What is that suppose to do to me? I get the fact that you are trying to accomplish something, so what are you getting at Tahno?" She asked curiously
He removed himself from the locker near Serena and he shook his head. "I don't understand how you can just forget about a guy just like that?"
"Its just as easy as forgetting the fact that you smell like sex and alcohol." She said pushing him away from him and going towards the exit.
"So...You're just going to give him up just like that Serena?" Tahno asked loudly as she walked off
Serena ignored what Tahno said, she knew that he was a player and she wouldn't get anywhere near him knowing just how much of a fuck up it'd be just to be with someone like him. Serena got her keys to her bike out of her book bag that was on her back before she heard Mako and Bolin arguing near by as she had a bit of interest in what was said when Bolin spoke her name to Mako.
"...you know this wouldn't have happened if you would have just stuck with being friends with Serena, she did nothing to deserve you being so mean to her."
"Serena has nothing to do with this, so just leave her out of it. She is at the bottom of the school anyways. She means nothing to me anymore." Mako said before he left.
Serena's eyes lost all emotion as she heard the one male she swore was her friend just say that she was meaningless to him. She shook it off as she quickly got her lock off of her bike before she got on it and bolted past Mako and bolin as she tried her best not to cry her eyes out. She really did thought that Mako was her friend, she felt as if she had with him was just one big lie. When she finally got home she locked her bike up quickly before she rushed up the three steps to get to the front door after crossing the big patio and she unlocked the door after a few tries due to the tears that threatened her vision.
When she finally got inside she cried against her legs as she slid down the door, she didn't understand what was going on with her, she thought that she'd always have Mako beside her but it wasn't the case now. No..the fact that two women took her friends from her more than upset her. She knew she had to get the nerves to talk to the females but she didn't know if she could or not. She soon wiped her eyes as she crawled her way over to the voice mail machine for the only phone she had. She sighed when she didn't have any messages, so she pulled herself off of the ground before she got her clothes on for work.
Serena then washed her face so she didn't look like she just broke down into a depressed mess, sure she lived alone and never had anyone to be there for her for years. But that didn't stop her from being the woman that she knew she had to be. She just had to go with her life day in and day out, she took a deep breath before she got her keys and went outside locking her door.
She then unlocked her bike and she rode her bike to work for five hours before coming back home tiredly to see the male who had broken the trust she had in him with his arms crossed, Serena didn't know what to feel about Mako being there due to what she overheard him say. She knew damn well she didn't trust him anymore, especially when he said what he did outside of the school like he had.
She locked her bike up before going past him and unlocking the door to her house. Mako followed her just so he could speak with her.
"Why are you here?" Serena said unamused
"I wanted to say that I'm sorry." He said as he placed a hand over her shoulder lightly, he wanted to make things right before they got any worse
Serena balled up her hand due to it shaking in anger before she removed his hand from her shoulder as she quickly turned around to glare at him in detest "Nothing you will ever say to me will make up the fact that you totally blew me off for some girl who came here last year." Serena said Irate as she pushed him away from her home before she went in and shut the door locking it behind her.
"C'mon Serena...What do I have to say to get you to believe me?" Mako said sadly
His words were ignored as she went into her room to fall asleep after setting her alarm clock. When she woke up she realized that there was nothing that she could do about the fact that Mako was a total douche that thought about himself and only himself. She was so sick and tired of dealing with him so she was going to show him just how much she didn't care for him. She cut her long lengthed hair that used to go down to her thighs to her shoulders, afterwards she wore the darkest clothes she had in her closet only for her to end up wearing a fishnet hoody that was under a My chemical Romance black parade t-shirt and a pair of skinny black pants and combat boots before she grabbed her book back and her keys before she left the house with her headphones over her ears.
She locked up her bike still listening to her music as she felt people staring at her but didn't really care, she knew that people were just shocked to see her being her, she went to her locker to do her combination and to open it only for it to shut on her. She looked up to see a hand only to look behind her to see her never quiting pest Tahno.
"Looks like you changed yourself quickly." He teased
"Does it really look like I give a damn about what you have to say Tahno?" She asked opening her locker again after getting his hand off of the locker.
"I think you might want to listen to what I have to stay Serena, I know you still like Mako, Your actions speak very loudly to me." He said wrapping one of his hands around her waist.
Serena ignored Tahno's words, she knew what he was doing and she wasn't going to cave in. She had enough drama as it was, she didn't need him being an arse as well. She slipped her morning books into her book bag and slipped out the books and folders that she didn't need back into her locker before she swung her black backpack with pins on it into his face before shutting her locker. "Well I hope that Action spoke out to you as well you creep." She then went to her first class.
When she got to her first class which was English she went to her seat which was right beside Mako only to see that he was glaring at her for some reason. She ignored it as she placed her book bag down, until she heard him speak in utter shock.
"What did you do to your hair Serena?" He asked shocked
"Why should it matter to you? I'm no longer your friend, your opinion doesn't matter to me."She said unamused as she got her english book and material out of her book bag.
"If you would have let me speak to you last night, we wouldn't have this problem." Mako said making Serena look to him
"..oh and this is my problem? I wasn't the one who betrayed our friendship with someone else, so just leave me alone and go find that girl you are always with. You seem to be more into her than me anyways." She said swatting his hand away from her face and looking forward annoyed
Before he could speak another word the bell rang as the teacher came into the class room. Her morning classes and afternoon classes went pretty well other than sitting alone at lunch, which was a new thing for her but she got over herself. It wasn't until her last period class P.E that she had any type of complication, she had to deal with a unit in the class she really had no use for. She disliked dancing with someone and the person she was partnered with made her hate it even more.
Tahno seemed to enjoy making short jokes around her as they were taught different dances that day, of course one dance she did know how to do curtisy of her father before he passed away. Due to the teacher wanting to know who knew she rose her hand, she had to explain then demostrate with the teacher how it was done before going back to being joked around with once more by Tahno. He apparently already knew how to he just didn't wish to be called out on for it.
At the end of the class the teacher surprised them with bonus points for the duo's that did well for the dance, which Serena and Tahno were one of those duo's. When it was time for them to leave she left for the girls locker room where she got back into her regular clothes contently before she left out only to be stopped by Tahno who caged her with one of his arms on the wall so she couldn't move.
"You know, you and I have been working pretty well together Serena, how'd you like to join my little group?" He said with a grin
Serena wasn't stupid, she knew that Mako was right behind him and crossed her arms as she leaned against the wall unamused.
"Why do you care about me so suddenly, this is totally unlike you Tahno."
"Oh, I always have cared for you or haven't picked up on that yet Serena?" Tahno said as he moved closer to her with a grin on his face
Serena closed her eyes as she sighed out, trying her best not to punch the male in front of her in the face. "I'm not one of those ditzy women who are always on your arms. I know where I belong and it sure as heck ain't with a player like you. Anyways, I'm nothing more than a smarty pants around here it means nothing to the likes of you so stop pesting me just to rile up Mako for screwing up the friendship we once had. It's not gunna work Tahno." She said unamused before she went around his arm and going past him and Mako.
She muttered to herself how stupid Tahno was being before she got to her locker. She got her keys leaving her book bag in her locker. She then went home on her bike after unlocking it once more. She petaled all the way back home before she locked her bike up oncce more, she dressed herself for her work and she stopped herself from leaving as she saw Tahno by her bike. Serena didn't understand why he was being so persistent, she didn't like him why was he so stubborn? It just didn't make any sense to her whatsoever.
"So...This is what you do After school." He said amused
"Why can't you just leave me alone, I already see you enough at school, I really don't like being pestered like this by the local play boy." Serena said unlocking her bike and going on it.
"Aww c''mon you can't tell me that you aren't at least a little attracted to me Serena." He said as he went in front of her bike holding the handles close to where she had her hands.
Serena really was going to run the male over if he didn't stop pestering the fuck out of her. "Why would I be attracted to a play boy jock with two cheerleaders clinging onto his arms like he's the last fuck toy on earth?" Serena asked dully with sarcasm
Tahno didn't understand why it was so hard for her to understand that he was trying to be genuine to her, but it seemed like his reputation was getting in the way of getting her to see just how much he did care for her. "You really don't want to see what's before your eyes...do you Serena?"
"Does it look like I do right now Tahno? Now please let go of my bike otherwise I'll be late for work."
"Why don't you let your parents take care of it?" Tahno asked curiously
Serena's eyes averted away from him as she frowned a bit. "I...they aren't around anymore."
Tahno felt bad for triggering out a bad memory to her, but he had to know the truth. He held her face with one of his hands before he made her look at him eye to eye. He could see the lovely green eyes he grew to love as a middle-schooler filled with sadness, he disliked that they were that way and kissed her cheek softly. "I'm sorry, I'll let you go, but just think about it alright?"
"Fine, I'll think about it." Serena said as she sighed out a bit
Tahno contently let go of her bike knowing that he had a small chance of finally getting the woman he truly wanted with him. As Serena worked for her five hour shift she came home only to see that Tahno was sitting on the steps of her patio which shocked her a bit as well as confused her.
"Have you been there this entire time Tahno?"
"And if I have?" He asked with a grin
"You're an insane male Tahno." She said getting off of her bike and locking it up
"Hey, I have to do something about how my fellow classmates are like...even if it means having to make sure that one of them is happy throughout the school years." He said as he got up
"Tahno that's pathetic, when was the last time you ever cared about anyone who wasn't in that little posse of yours?" Serena asked with her arms crossed
"Hey, I'm trying to make up for all of those year that I was crude to you, so just hear me out alright Serena?" He said with a sigh with his hands up in defense before he spoke once more. "Yes I know in the past I've been a jack ass to you. But seeing the changes you've done just because of one idiot...you shouldn't have to. I want to see you how you were before. I miss seeing you smile and happy Serena, "
As Tahno spoke to her he pulled her into his chest by holding on to her waist tightly, Serena sighed out as she placed her head against his chest.
"You're not gunna stop pestering me till I say yes aren't you?" Serena asked as she looked up at him..
He only gave her a grin that gave her the answer she knew was coming towards her, she knew damn well that it was a bad idea to be with Tahno. Hell her body was telling her that what she was doing was going to make her regret her choices. But she had nothing to lose or gain by being around Tahno, he gave her attention that Mako never gave her, he cared for her and didn't push her to the side even though other females wanted Tahno's attention just because he was the start football player. She could careless about it but she was content with knowing that she had a reason to wake up with a small smile on her face at least.
Right then and there she made her choice; she moved one of her hands from his chest up to the side of his face before she went onto her toes before she kissed his other cheek softly "Fine you got me, but you even dare try to play me off as a joke we're going to have a big problem." She said seriously
"Fine with me, I'll be picking you up for school tomorrow, so be ready by 6:30 " He said before he kissed her on the lips softly and walked off.
Once he left she blushed a bit as she smiled, she could feel her entire body just melting to the cement that she stood on. But she didn't let it get her completely, she went inside to take a shower before she went to bed with a grin on her face for the first time in three years. When she woke up she got herself together and waited for Tahno to pick her up which didn't take long as she saw a black nessan in front of her house. She couldn't see that well into the car but when she got up and went towards the car, Ming had been kicked out of the passenger seat
"Tahno said that you are to sit up front with him, so don't mess up girly." He said a bit annoyed
Serena sat down in the passenger seat and he closes the door once she was safely seated into the car. Then he goes into the back with the other guy and the girls, Serena then looked to Tahno with a slight smile on her face. She really thought he'd stood her up and be the jerk she knew was in him. But he didn't and that made her realize that maybe he wasn't so bad after all.
"It was very nice of you to do this Tahno" Serena commented as he drove off.
"Think nothing of it, since you are now part of us you need to be treated as such, which reminds me since you are now part of the popular group one of the girls will be telling you what is acceptable and what isn't. I don't want the group to get a bad name because of a newbie." He said as he drove
"Whatever, its not like I'm going to do anything while being in school anyways. Its like you told me last year, I'm a goody goody too shoes, and just because I'm with you guys doesn't mean I'm going to change that." Serena said honestlywith my arms crossed
"That's what I like to hear out of my little flower." He said as he parked his car in the same spot that he usually does. Before he kisses her cheek softly
"I'm no flower Tahno, I can take a lot more of a beating than a flower can." She said slightly annoyed that he was calling her a flower.
She didn't want to go back to square one with him, she only hoped that it was a slip up as she went to her locker before she felt a hand on her shoulder. She knew that it wasn't Tahno, he wouldn't be so friendly with the touches that he would do plus the order was different as well, she looked behind her only to see Mako, she instantly glared at him as she saw the unamused look on his face.
"What do you want?" Serena said unamused and annoyed
"I saw that you came to school with Tahno, why all of a sudden are you even speaking to him. You know he bullied you back in middle,elementary and the first half of your freshman year of high school." Mako said shaking his head towards the end
.
"But he hasn't, he's been a good person towards me and unlike you he actually talks to me like a normal person instead of argues with me." She said closing her locker door.
"...Don't tell me that you're with him." He said sadly
