CHAPTER 2!! Hope you all like it, and plz review!!
Chapter 2- What can I say…it was the boots
"This is it." she said, and looked up at him.
The short haired boy drew a deep breath and pushed the door heavily.
The blonde hopped out of the car and joined him in his march of doom towards the crowd of kids in front of the building 'RALDON'.
"Don't worry about it really. It'll be way better than our old school."
Sammy grimaced at her.
Serena gave little brother a kiss on the forehead. "Anyways, we meet right after school in the parking lot, good luck."
"Yeah…You too." They both smiled at each other and went their separate ways.
"So which classes did the parents sign me up in this year?"
The lady smiled at the raven-haired man and handed him a folder with his name on it.
"Oh shit…"
"What?"he asked. The blond pointed out the paper to his friend.
"Economy, Spanish, Physics, Math, Ecology, English…" he read. "What's so bad about that?"
Andrew threw a tantrum, "What's so bad about THAT? Darien, have read anything on that paper? All the god-damn boring courses in the universe are in there. "All the stuff you need to study for...Sickening."
Darien chuckled. He'd gotten the nerdy genes like everybody else in the family, straight A's through out elementary and high school. Except maybe in…
"Calculus?!Urgh…"
Math. Darien sucked in math.
"What's all this commotion about?"
Darien and Andrew turned their heads towards the man talking.
Serena stepped into the crowded hallways. Cliques in their corner babbling about their summer, BFF's jumping around and giggling, guys bragging about their exploits. She knew all of this. It was all supposed to be about her and her crew this year. But things turned sour and she had to leave.
But now was not the time to cry over the past, she was ready for some new action.
She walked strongly through the hall, guys and girls checking her out from head to toe.
Not that she wasn't drop dead gorgeous or anything, but she was starting to hesitate whether or not the outfit she'd chosen was a little too dressed to impressed.
A coral tank, black high-rise mini-shorts and beige patent booties was maybe a little too a la mode for a school like Raldon. But hey, that's how she did it. And of course, her signature hairstyle, buns and pigtails.
"Hey, you!"
Serena continued walking, thinking no one could possibly be calling for her, when someone tapped her shoulder.
She turned around and saw a blonde girl who could have been her portrait.
"Hi, I'm Mina." She said.
"Hi, I'm Serena."
Serena looked at the girl, up and down, dumbstruck. They looked like twins.
"It's just…I couldn't get my eyes off your boots, their freakin gorgeous! FiFie right?"
They looked like identical twins, and all the girl could think about was her boots?
"Um…yeah. Thanks. You know we really look alike."
Mina lifted her eyes up to Serena's.
They both had big blue eyes, but Mina's were lighter. The two had the same golden blonde hair, but hers was loosely parted by a red ribbon. Mina and Serena were the same height, with heels. Serena had a darker tan while Mina just had more of a pearly gold tone.
"hm…"she wrinkled her nose and looked up and down at Serena, "Not really."
This girl was blind! Just when she thought she could find some common ground with someone in this school.
DRRRRING (bell rang)
"You're new here?"
Serena nodded.
Mina took her hand and dragged her through the crowds of people.
"Com'on, you can hang with me. I'll help you find your way around."
"Thanks."
Serena silently thanked the heavens, finding a friend on the 1st day of school and so easily was not acquitted to everyone.
Mina winked at her, "No problem, fashionistas gotta stick together right?"
They both walked into the secretary's office.
"Ken!" they both said.
The brown haired man drew a finger to his mouth.
"Shhhh… over here its Mr. Fitzgerald. I'm a teacher now."
Both Andrew and Darien burst in laughter.
"Okay then…Mr. Fitz(cough)gerald."
Ken Fitzgerald rolled his eyes at the two teenagers. "Darien, remind James that he's packing up the food for the fishing trip this weekend."
"I will."
Andrew smirked, "You're what, 25? That's not 50. So why do you guys insist on spending weekends in a dumb cabin freezing your ass off getting eaten by bugs? I mean, what happened to the old Ken, the one who used to go out every night and change women like he changes underwear?"
DRRRRING (bell rang)
Ken slipped his glasses on and shook his head understandingly,
"He became a man." He turned around to walk away and added,
"But you guys probably can't understand that… yet." and went into the teacher's lounge.
"Talk about self-absorbed." said Andrew.
"Tsss…He thinks just because he has a job that's recognized by society, means he's a man." Darien and Andrew walked into the hallways.
"What do you have first?"
Darien looked at his schedule, "hmm…French, History, and Phys Ed. You?"
"Spanish, Drama. I'll see you in Phys Ed."
"Yeah…"
They each went their own way.
"French, History and Phys Ed. We both have French and Phys Ed." Mina handed the paper over to Serena.
"You'll see, over here it's not so bad, the classes aren't too boring, except maybe for History. But don't worry; they'll be plenty of distractions such as HOT guys. Got a boyfriend?"
Serena smiled, Mina reminded her very much of her old best friend Molly. She just couldn't shut up.
"Nah…You?"
Mina sighed dramatically. "Unfortunately, my beau and I had to break up because he moved into another country. Not like it was going to last or anything, he was totally cheating on me anyways. But I'm over that. So, where were you before you came here?"
"I used to live in New York City. But then my mum got married and we moved here."
"Where do you live?"
Serena closed her eyes trying to remember what was the name of the park…
"I think it's…Goldensomething Park or something like that."
"Goldendale?"
"Yeah! You know where it is?"
Mina's smile drew large, "Are you kidding me? I LIVE THERE!"
"No way…"
"Yes way! You should totally come over!"
Just then, a tall girl with a auburn hair tied into ponytail walked into the class.
"LITA!" yelled Mina from the other side of the room.
They both ran into each other's arms in excitement.
"OMYGOSH, How was Rome?"
Serena examined Lita from afar, she wore a cute green dress that covered very little of her long slender legs. Her golden roman sandals let out her tiny painted toe nails. Her green eyes popped out with her mile long lashes. She had fair skin and flushed cheeks.
She looked like a supermodel straight from the runaway.
"This," Mina pointed over at Serena, "is Serena. Isn't she gorgeous? Just look at her boots!"
Lita walked over to her, "Hi, I'm Lita. Welcome to Raldon."
Serena smiled back at her. "Hi, I'm Serena. Nice to meet you."
"I totally love your boots, Mina and I have been trying to get them since forever. Their inaccessible out here, it's like they don't want you to buy it."
"Haha…I know, lucky for me, my step-dad works in the industry, he got them for me back in New York."
"New York huh? I love that city. People are so beautiful and busy over there."
"Lita wants to be a fashion designer and start her own line in the big apple. You should see her sketches, she's amazing!" added Mina.
Lita blushed, "I'm not that great. It's actually pretty ordinary. I'm wearing one of my designs right now…"
Serena looked down at the dress. It was lime green paisley printed and had wide medium-length sleeves. It was short and cute, a casual summer dress.
"I think it's beautiful."
"Yeah Lita, don't be so modest!"
"Alrighte classe, ever-ryone find a seat!" yelled the thin lady in the front.
Serena was about to sit right in the front row when Mina pulled her: "Are you crazy? We're not sitting in the front. She'll catch us sleeping."
Serena let out a laugh and sat at the desk between Mina and Lita.
"So, Ow waz ever-ryone's summeur?"
Serena scribbled in her notebook. Hopefully her brother had as much luck as she did at finding his way.
Sammy walked up to the sink and splashed water onto his face. This had not been a very good morning. First of all, he couldn't find the secretary's office, and when they finally gave him his schedule for classes, he found out he had all the most boring classes possible. He then couldn't find his locker and had to leave all of his things at the principal's office the time that they find him one, on top of that, the principal advised him to take off his earring, but since it's brand new, he can't take it off for at least a month or it'll close.
DRRRRING (bell rang)
And now, he was late for class, on his first day of school. La Dolce Vita.
DRRRRING (bell rang)
"Classe dismissed! Passez une good day!"
All of the students gathered their books and got up.
"Wow, that was fun."
"What was fun?"
Darien turned around and found a green eyed red head hugging his arm tightly.
"Oh…Ann. How are you?"
"I'm great. How was your summer?"
"It was okay. You?"
"I got a modeling gig and went to LA for a few days. I pretty much spent the rest of the summer at my sister's beach house."
"Okay then…"
Ann had always been Darien's friend with benefits, his rebound girl. But when it came to her personality, he just hated the way she acted. Like she wanted more than just sex. What was it with women?
"So…What are you doing after school?" she asked.
"Oh, there's Greg. Greg!" he waved over to his friend, "I gotta go Ann. I'll see you around." He squiggled out of her grasp and left a confused Ann.
"Uh… see you in history!" she said.
"Greg!"
A tall brunette turned around.
"Darien! Where have you been?"
Darien dusted off his shoulder. "Trying to wipe off Ann's drool. Please tell me you have history."
Greg grinned. "Nope. I have Marching Band practice." Darien gave Greg a strange look. "That was a joke…I have history." Darien gave him a noogie.
"Still trying to be funny huh?"
"Oh good, we both have History." Lita hugged Serena's arm, "You can go now Mina." kidded Lita. They both laughed.
"Serena I'll meet you at the gym, okay see you guys later, I have Drama with Raye..." said Mina as she walked away.
"Who's Raye?" asked Serena.
"Oh, you'll—" Lita stopped in the middle of her sentence and went into a daze.
"Lita? Hello? Earth to Lita?" Serena waved her hand in front of Lita's face.
"Oh..." she blinked. "Sorry it's just I saw this really cute guy. Look!" she pointed at the tall brown haired man drinking at the fountain.
"He reminds me of my old boyfriend…"
Serena looked at Lita who had huge hearts in her eyes.
"So…dreamy…"
Serena giggled. "Lita, he's gone."
"Wha? Oh…"
They giggled like school girls all the way to class.
"Welcome to your Drama Class. My name is Mr. Palm. But you will all call me Marco—"
A blonde barged into the theatre clumsily.
"Oh mygosh I am so sorry I'm late. You see, ladies trouble." her voice echoed through the dense room.
"Yes, well, make sure this does not happen again Miss..?"
"Mina. Mina Aino."
"Well, then Mina. Take a seat."
Mina sighed in relief and thanked the heavens she was a woman.
She took a seat randomly.
"Excuse me." asked a female voice.
Mina looked next to her at the raven haired girl and smiled.
Andrew sucked his teeth. This drama course was just too boring. He should have just not gone to school today. The teacher just kept on raving about his amazing theatrical exploits and how lucky we were to have him, he couldn't listen to his ipod because the two girls next to him kept babbling loudly about god knows what, and he was starting to get cranky for a cigarette.
"Would you mind lowering your damn volume, I'm trying to listen over here." he scowled to the ebony haired girl.
She turned around, fire burning of her dark eyes.
"What the hell? Can't you see I'm having a very important conversation here? You better turn around and pretend you never said anything before I decide to kick your sorry ass in front of all these people."
He had to admit, she was one beautiful feisty.
The girl she was talking to tried to calm her down, "Raye, relax! He didn't mean anything."
She turned to Andrew with an apologetic look
"Sorry about that, she's a little short-tempered." and smiled him.
Andrew had completely forgotten about his cigarettes.
He couldn't get his eyes off the gorgeous blonde.
And through her conversation, she couldn't stop making eye contact with him and blushing.
DRRRRING (bell rang)
All of the students got up and walked out.
"Well then, till next class. Don't forget we're doing Shakespeare so bring out the Romeos and the Juliets." hailed the teacher.
Andrew jogged over to the raven-haired girl and her blonde friend.
"I'm sorry, we got off at the wrong start, I'm Andrew. You ladies are?"
Raye looked at her friend who looked back at her. She looked at Andrew up and down.
"Yeah…we know who you are. I'm Raye."
"I'm Mina."
"Nice to meet you. Well then I guess I'll see you next class." he gave Mina a wink and walked away.
"Tsss…Men." said Raye.
Mina smiled quietly to herself.
"So when did you get back?" asked Mina.
"Last week. I didn't call you because I wanted it to be a surprise."
Mina and Raye entered the gym and a blonde girl with pigtails ran up to them.
"Mina, this school is a freakin maze. Nobody told me there were 3 gymnasiums over here!"
"Oh! Raye there's someone I'd like you to meet, this is Serena."
"Hi." Serena waved shyly.
The dark haired diva saluted to her. "I'm Raye. And I am in love with your boots! I just might snatch them right off your feet." There was a slight uncomfortable silence.
"Just kidding! I happen to have them myself."
They all laughed.
Raye dragged her to the bench and started showering her with questions.
"So you're new here."
"Yeah. From New York."
"Since when did you move?"
"About a week ago. It's a nice place. I live near Mina's house."
Mina jumped in. "So have you met anybody in the neighborhood yet?"
Serena blushed, "Well…You know the corner store down the big boulevard?"
"Yeah…"
"There's this cutie I met there, you've probably seen him before, his name is Seiya…"
"Wait—Seiya?" asked Raye.
"Yeah, you know him?"
Mina and Raye looked at each other, then at Serena.
"Yummy… We know he went to juvenile prison."
Serena gave them questioning look.
"Yup, he went there for armed robbery or something."
Serena's eyes popped out in disbelief. The sweet looking and funny Seiya was...a criminal?
"Are you sure we're talking about the same Seiya here?"
Mina smiled innocently, "Oh...yeah, I know Seiya, we had a little… adventure. But don't worry, he's all yours. ALL of it…"
Mina and Raye gave each other high five and laughed.
Serena was past confusion, she was just lost.
"Alright, Alright Everyone! Gather up over here." called a fat man wearing a track suit.
"My name is Coach Barry. I'm the Basket Ball coach, the Sex Ed teacher,"
a group of guys hollered and whistled. Coach Barry rolled his eyes,
"yeah, yeah I'll be teaching you about sex. Happy?"
The Coach raised his voice, "But I am also your gym teacher."
The kids were all sitting on the floor listening silently.
"And I expect maturity and respect in ALL of my classes. I have all of the students in your grade and I will know each of your names by the end of the year…probably starting with Mr.Yippy yappin with his friends over there. What's your name?" Coach Barry pointed to Darien.
He stopped talking and looked up at the teacher. "Sorry Sir. Darien King."
"Yeah, next time I won't be so nice Mr. King. Now, Boy's line is here, Girl's line over there."
"That was close." muttered Darien. Andrew and Greg chuckled,
"Little prince gets a nice kick up the ass on the first day."
Darien whacked his cousin on the head.
"Hi everyone, I will be your Math teacher for this year."
Lita looked up, expecting a fat, old, comb-over but instead, she found a Greek god.
The square letters written in white chalk read: KEN FITZGERALD
He was the guy at the water fountain!
The hot sun shun over his dark chocolate brown hair that fell slightly over his soft golden brown eyes. Everything suddenly turned into a blurry slow motion movie.
The folded sleeves of his blouse led a sample of his strong arms.
His big muscled hands waved at her. And kept on waving at her.
"Ms.…"
"Lita?"
His tongue clicked on the opening of his small pink lips.
"Lita…Triviaki?"
She shook her head and landed back into reality.
"What?"
"Are you alright? You looked a little out of it." said Mr. Fitzgerald.
Lita looked at him blankly.
"Do you want to go to the nurse's office?"
"Yes Please." she gushed and walked rapidly out of the room.
"Okay then…" The teacher looked at her weirdly.
"I can't believe he's making us do 20 laps. This is crazy!" muttered Raye in frustration.
"I hate this! Remind me to make up an excuse next time." whined Serena.
"Keep it going everyone, 19...almost done!" hollered Coach Barry.
"Grrrr…I'm treating myself to a nice chocolate brownie when I get home!" growled Mina.
"20 Laps! Great Job! In the showers, you sweaty teens stink!" mocked the coach.
Serena leaned over and felt her heartbeat. All of a sudden, this big thing knocked her on the floor.
Smoke was coming out of her ears at this point.
She got up and tapped on the guy's shoulder.
"Hey YOU!"
Darien turned around and was face to face with…the girl from the corner store!
His midnight blue met her tsunami eyes.
"Well if it isn't annoying brat that makes people wait in line! I missed you last night when you coward out on our conversation." he teased.
Serena couldn't believe that guy. It's like he was begging for a fight.
"Not you again. Don't tell me come here too? I don't need losers stalking me. Especially ugly clichés of an SOB."
"You don't look too bad yourself," Darien looked at her strange hairstyle and couldn't help but mention what came to his mind, "Meatball Head. Sweaty whore is a good look on you."
Serena was in fury. The adrenaline was there, all she needed was a loaded gun.
But instead, she took all her strength in one hit and slapped him hard in the face.
Afraid of what his reaction might be, she started to run as fast as she could towards the girl's showers.
Darien reached for his face in shock. Her hot hand left a burning red mark on his cheek. He rubbed it painfully and looked up to find the blonde running for her life.
Meanwhile, Andrew and Greg were watching for afar and exploded in laughter.
Darien gave them an annoyed look. "Haha, very funny guys. It's over now, you can stop."
He turned back to the blonde's direction and smirked.
"You did WHAT?" yelled Mina.
"I slapped him." said Serena, picking her fork in her Super Fettuccini Special of the cafeteria.
Raye high-fived Serena. "You Go Girl! Show him you mean business."
"Raye! She slapped Darien King! In the face! His beautiful face!" insisted Mina.
Raye ignored Mina's comment and continued, "So why do you guys not get along anyways?"
"Yeah, why?" asked Mina curiously.
Serena told them last night's little encounter.
"Wow. That was so brave of you to stand up to them. And in front of all those people." exclaimed Mina.
"Yup. But it doesn't matter now because he's a total jerk." said Serena.
"A very hot total jerk." added Mina.
Raye slapped Mina's shoulder playfully.
Serena rolled her eyes.
Just then, Lita came and sat down at the table looking dull.
"Whats up?" asked Serena.
Lita drew a big theatrical sigh, "I'm in love."
Mina and Raye both started to laugh.
"I'm guessing this happens often…" asked Serena.
Mina leaned across the table towards Serena, "Every single week! Each time the guy is different."
"No you guys, I mean it this time. He's a true god."
"So why the long face? Just seduce him into asking you out so you can get it over with already." said Raye.
Lita pouted her lower lip innocently.
"He's…a teacher?"
"WHAT?" They all said.
DRRRRING (bell rang)
"Yay! School is over." Mina chanted, jumping up and down.
"Urgh…already the first day and I can't wait for this to end." mumbled Raye.
Serena was very satisfied for her first day. Except maybe for her little brush up with Mr. King Jerk.
"I gotta go. See you guys tomorrow."
"Bye." they all said.
"I like her." said Lita.
The three started walking towards the bus.
"Yeah..me too." said Raye.
"Me three. It's settled. She's in!" exclaimed Mina.
