AN: Thanks for all the reviews guys and sorry for the long wait but I had a lot of work to do at school and my grandpa also passed away. Also someone said not to make the braceface kids scouts and you don't have to worry because I wasn't planning on doing that anyways because it would have been too weird. That's all and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

Disclaimer: blah blah blah... I don't own any of the characters...blah blah blah

When Nina turned around she saw what everyone else was looking at. Instead of seeing someone with braces and bleached blond hair she saw someone who looked like a princess. She had long golden hair that went down to her ankles in a weird hairdo, but it was probably to keep it out of the way, and she didn't have braces. There was also a black cat with a crescent moon on its forehead on her shoulder glaring at her. If cats could glare.

" How do I know you're her cousin? You don't look anything like her."

" I can prove it. Josh you can come out from behind me now."

And out popped a Josh from behind Serena's legs, and as we all know Josh is Sharon's little brother. But before this had happened on the other side of the schoolyard Adam and his gang of friends including Tony were talking about the mystery girl since they couldn't hear the conversation, which they were walking towards.

" Hey Adam, check out that girl. Isn't she hot?"

" Tony, aren't you forgetting that I have girlfriend? But your right she is hot."

" Well, since you have a girlfriend and I don't I'll ask her out."

" I bet she'll say no."

" How much do you wanna bet?"

" Twenty bucks."

" Fine with me."

And that was when Serena had said, "…don't talk to my cousin like that or at all. And while you're at it don't talk about me either."

" Huh?"

And you know the rest from there, but when Josh had come out from behind her Adam knew that she was their cousin that his mom had just told them about.

" Dude you can't ask her out."

" Why not? You scared she'll say yes?"

" She's my cousin, and if she gets hurt by you or anyone else you're dead."

" I won't hurt her but I'm still askin' her out cause we made a bet."

" Fine but remember: She hurt. You dead." And if looks could kill Tony would be dead right now.

" Alright already."

When their group finally got there Nina was about ready to blow up, but when she saw Sharon's older brother and his friends behind Serena she knew she had lost.

" You just better be careful, cause you don't know who you're dealing with."

And with that she tossed her hair behind her shoulder and left. But before she was completely out of hearing range Serena yelled:

" Actually I know who I'm dealing with, a spoiled little girl who has to hurt others just to have fun because you don't have a life."

" ARGGGGHHHH"

This made Nina yell and stomp all the way to the other side of the school. After that everyone had started clapping and then gone back to what they were doing. Some people kept throwing glances their way and there was a lot of whispering going on about Serena but she was busy with the people surrounding her and making introductions.

" So Josh why don't you introduce me to everyone?"

" Ok!!" Josh said eagerly looking up at Serena with adoring eyes while she looked down at him smiling.

" Well you already know Sharon, and then these are her friends Alden, Maria, and Brock. And behind you is my big brother Adam, his friends and his girlfriend, she's actually our next-door neighbor, and his best friend Tony."

" Hi nice to meet all of you and as you already know I'm Serena."

" Serena what are you doing here?"

" Well when I got to your house your mom said I could come meet you at your school and I brought Josh along as well 'cause I didn't know the way here. Then when we got here I saw you fighting with that girl and…yeah. What's her name anyways?"

" Nina Harper. Why?"

" Are you sure it's not Nina Harpy? She sure screams like one."

This made everyone laugh and get more comfortable with her.

" So… Serena will you go out with me?"

" ummmm… I'm really sorry but I can't cause I already have a boyfriend."

" Hand over the 20 bucks pal."

" Oh wow that reallllllyyyyy makes a girl feel special."

" No way buddy, she has a boyfriend. The bet didn't say anything about boyfriends."

" You know I'm right here so you can stop talking as if I'm not."

" Yeah, but it did say that if she said no you would have to give me 20 buck. So hand it over."

::sniff-sniff::

This caught everyone's attention. They looked over to Serena to find her all teary eyed.

" You know :: sniff:: I never thought I :: sniff:: would be treated like a prize on my :: BIG sniff:: first day here. Maybe I should just go home."

Now Adam and Tony were feeling guilty, but when they saw BIG-FAT tears starting to roll down her cheeks and everyone giving them guilty looks they started panicking.

" uhh…umm…please don't cry Serena."

" Yeah we didn't mean it and please don't tell my mom or she'll kill me"

Serena turned her back on them and crossed her arms. They started panicking even more.

" uhhhh… how about we take you out for pizza as an apology."

Since her back was turned to them they didn't see her evil' I-Got-You-Now-And-You'll-Regret-Ever-Saying-That' smile but Sharon and her friends did. They tried in vain to hold in their giggles but a few escaped.

All of a sudden she turned around all smiles without any traces of previous tears.

" Okay, deal, but only if Sharon and her friends can come, and Josh too so I can get to know everyone."

" Okaayyy…"

" Hey, I'm not finished yet you guys also have to pay."

" FOR ALL OF THEM???"

Here come the tears.

" So now you're saying you won't do it? Maybe I should go…or maybe tell…"

" Okayokay, we'll do it"

" Great!!" All smiles again. It was almost scary how fast she could change moods.

That was when the lunch bell rang and people started heading in.

" Looks like it's time to go. Come on Josh, Luna. Bye Sharon, see you when you get home. Oh, and Adam we'll talk about when you and Tony will treat us all to pizza. Bye guys see ya when I see ya!!"

With that she and Josh ran on ahead with Luna following behind.

:: sigh::

" Come on Tony, lets get to class."

" Right behind ya buddy."

::sigh::

With that the two boys headed of to class with all their friends laughing behind them.

" Man, I gotta make her teach me how to do that."

" Count me in too Sharon."

LUNA' POV

' Those poor boys they don't know what they're in for.' She thought as she followed Serena and Josh home.

AN: Did you like it?? Review and tell me. And I'll try to get more chapters out during winter break which is only two weeks away.
