Chapter 2: New Girl part I

Edited: 8/12/16

Serena looked around the school as she and her family followed Mr Hamada down the half emtpy hallway. Students who were all hanging out in the hallway turned to them and eyed her. She didn't mind but it was starting make her feel nervous. She could tell by their expressions that some of them thought she didn't deserve to attent their school. To them, she was nothing but a middle class person who should stick to attending public school. Serena looked away not faced one bit.

'Great, first day here and I'm already an outcast for the snobs who attend this school. Well who cares, let them think what they want.'

Serena thought to herself as she and her family stopped in front a large staircase. An elderly woman walked down the steps in a very poised manner. She didn't seem onlder then Serena's grandmother with her greyish brunet hair tied back into a high bun. She wore a long sleeve blue dress that reache just below three inches her knees with a white collar. The woman bowed to the family and the headmaster as he turned to them.

"Alright Serena, this is the girl's dorm adviser, Ms Annetta. She will show you to the girls dorm and will let you know of the rules of this school."

Mr Hamada said, before Ms Annetta spoke up.

"Please follow me."

She said before turning around, ready to escort Serena as Serena turned to her parents and Sam before she hugged her parent's goodbye.

"Love you sweety, be good."

Mrs Tsukino smiled as she hugged Serena who hugged her back.

"Ok, mom. Love you too."

She turned to her dad who began to cry a waterfall of tears as he hugged her tightly.

"My little girl!"

Serena smiled a little sheepishly as Mr Hamada and Ms Annetta smiled at them before Serena's mother pulled her father off her. Serena playfully gave Sam a noogie on the head and a small hug.

"See yah later Sammy."

She smiled and Sam looked up at her confused.

"What do you mean later? You'll be back home in a month with your type of grades."

Serena glared at him before she followed Ms Annetta. Mr Hamada turned to her parents and began to show them around the school after Serena's father had left the luggages in front of the stairs for someone to take them to Serena's dorm room.

Serena followed Ms Annetta up to the forth floor where the dorms where located.

"I assume you know of the rules we have here at our school?"

"Well, kinda. I was only informed of some of them."

Serena responded back as Ms Annetta looked at her as they walked down the hallway.

"I see, well then you must know students are not allowed out of their rooms after eleven, breakfast is served at eight, classes start at nine and end at four. Lights out at ten thirty. On sundays and saturdays students are allowed to leave campus but must inform their advicers first and return before sundown because the school doors close at seven. Males and Females must stay away from each other's dorm rooms at night and all cellphones must be handed in to avoid distractions."

She paused turning to Serena and held her hand out. Serena sighed as she reached into her pocket and handed Ms Annetta her cellphone. Ms Annetta puts the cell into her pocket before she kept walking and Serena followed.

"I'm sorry. Now, dinner is served at seven thirty in the dinning hall on the second floor. If you require any must needed school supplies you can go to the student cafe which is located on the first floor. They sell any you might need. And if you also need any help with anything you can come to me."

She said as they came to a bedroom door on the end. Serena gave a nod and a smile as she responded.

"Ok, thank you. Um... Is there a way to call my family and friends?"

"There is a phone located in the student cafe that you are allowed to use from seven to nine. If you wish to send a letter there is a student mailbox in the cafe as well which you can use to send letters and letters you receive will be brought to your dorm. I hope you do hope you enjoy your time here."

She said bowing to Serena who returned the bow before Ms Annetta walked away. Serena sighed to herself before she opened the door as gasped. The room itself was a mix of modern and antique furniture. There was a king size bed with pillars nearly reaching up to the ceiling in the center of the room with two bedside tables. The floor carpet was white as snow. On the right of the room sat a large wooden old fashion desk with a desk lamp.

On the left side was a white old vanity with a large three sided mirror, a matching dresser on the right and a white wardrobe next to it. Next to the door sat bookshelf that was next to a small entertainment stand with a flat screen tv in front of a faux white leather sectional and a small coffee table in the middle.

"Why am I not surprise?"

She said closing the door before she walked to her bags and put them on the bed. She unzipped her bags and began to unpack and put her things into the dresser and wardrobe before putting her bags under her bed. She put her laptop on her desk and a few picture frames of her family and friends on the bedside tables, desk, bookshelf and on the dresser. Once she finished, she fell backwards on to the bed and sighed.

'Now what to do? What to do?'

She thought staring up at the ceiling of the room. She sat up and decided to walk around the school. She exit her bedroom and headed down to the first floor. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper which had a map of the school. She unfolded it and began to make her way to the cafe.

She made it within ten minutes and stopped outside the doors staring at the window display before she looked around. There were a few students who hanging aroud talking to their friends or staring at her. Serena looked away and took in a deep breath. She stepped inside the cafe and was surprised again.

There was a cash register counter on the left side of the cafe with a few video game machines next to a wall a few feet away. A small coffee table with four chairs around it sat next to the front door. Two cafe machines sat on a table in back of the register counter next to two blenders. On the right side of the room were four booths. There were also six clothing racks with different size school uniforms and gym clothes.

Six mini aisle displays with various school supplies and some junk food in front of the racks. Along with a few display cases around the room along side a few schools photos from the past school years. Serena walked around the room, looking around before she grabbed a few much needed notebooks, papers and pens. She walked over to the counter and set her things on the counter before she pulled her student loan card that students are given at the begining school year. A girl a year older then her wearing an white apron stood behind the counter, Serena handed her the student card.

The girl slided the student card threw a credit card slider before she handed it back to Serena who placed it back into her pink bunny wallet pouch as the girl placed her things into a bag. Serena took the bag as the girl handed it to her and said:

"Here you go, have a nice day."

"Thanks, you two."

She turned around and bumped into someone.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

Serena looked up at the male who stood in front of her. He wore the male student uniform without the blazer and the white sleeves rolled up. He looked up to three years older then her. Serena shook her head and smiled.

"It's alright, it was my fault anyway."

The older male smiled back as he looked her over for a second.

"You must be new here, nice to meet you. My name is Andrew Foreman."

He held his hand out to her which she shook with her own.

"Nice to meet you too Andrew. I'm Serena Tsukino."

Andrew smiled as they let released their grips on the other's hands.

"Is this your first day here?"

Serena gave a nod as they put their hands down.

"Yah, tomorrow is my first day of class. I'm a little nervous though."

She responded which caused Andrew to chuckle.

"Yah, happens a lot. Same thing with me when I first started going here."

Serena smiled back at him.

"I really should head back to my room."

She started walking away before and turned she turned back to him and looked down at her feet.

"Um... Do you know where how to get to the dinning hall?"

Andrew gave a nod and a smiled.

"I can show you to you to the dinning hall, I get off at four and I can show you around."

Serena smiled and gave a nod.

"Ok, meet you here in a few."

She walked away and headed back to her dorm room. After Serena had dropped off her stuff, she returned to the cafe and waited until Andrew got off of work.
