Beep, Beep, Beep
Serena reached over as her hand reached out turning off her alarm clock as she pulled the blanket over her head and lied her head back down on the pillow closing her eyes when she heard her mother yell up to her "Serena you better not be going back to sleep, get out of that bed this instant or you'll be late for school"
Serena pulled the covers back down as she lied there looking up at the ceiling as she let out a loud grunt complaining "why do Monday mornings always have to come so early"
She raised up from her bed and stood up stretching out her arms letting out a loud yawn as she heard her mother yell up to her again "you better hurry or you will miss the bus again"
Serena quickly dressed putting on her school uniform and brushed her hair then lazily walked down the stairs to see her family sitting at the breakfast table as her mother walked over refilling her father's coffee cup as he looked to her far too cheerful for before 8am saying "good morning sunshine"
Serena walked over to the table still half asleep as she went and sat down in her usual spot at the table next to her brother as she told him "morning dad"
Sam picked up one of his toaster waffles taking a bite out of it he looked to her shaking his head he told her with his mouth full "over slept again didn't you"
Serena turned around sticking her tongue out at her brother as she complained "mom, Sam is talking with his mouth full again"
Sam swallowed down the piece of waffle he was eating as he shook his head arguing back "I am not"
Ilene walked over as she placed a plate of waffles down in front of Serena as she looked to her children telling them "that is enough both of you now hurry up and eat otherwise you will miss the bus"
Serena hurried to eat her waffle as she picked up one and crunched down into it with each bite as her brother watched telling her "really Serena can you eat any louder you sound like a cow"
Serena shook her head as she yelled out "mom"
Ken looked between his two children as he shook his head telling them "Sam be nicer to your sister and Serena eat quieter"
Serena looked to her father crossing her arms as she complained "but dad?"
Ilene walked over holding out two lunch bags keeping the peace as always she told them "never mind that now, you need to hurry up and get going before you miss the bus"
Serena looked up at the clock on the wall seeing it was 7:45am as she let out a loud squeal saying "I'm going to be late" as she grabbed the last waffle from the plate and then ran over taking her lunch bag from her mother and then ran towards the door as she yelled out "bye mom, bye dad" and ran out the door.
Ilene yelled back as she watched her close the door behind her "have a good day dear" as her father picked up his coffee cup and took a sip he looked to Ilene shaking his head asking "whatever will we do with that girl"
Sam looked to his parents with a smile he told them "we can just get rid of her. I wouldn't mind being an only child"
Ken stood up from his chair and went to grab his briefcase as he looked to Sam telling him "one day Sam, you will be glad you have an older sister like Serena that cares about you"
Sam looked to his father shaking his head he laughed telling him "yeah maybe only in your dreams"
Ilene looked to Sam as she placed his lunch bag on the table she told him "your father is right, but you better be going to school yourself before your late too"
Sam quickly grabbed his lunch bag as he ran for the door yelling out "bye mom, bye dad" Ken looked over to Ilene shaking his head telling her "will they ever learn"
Serena raced down the street as she waved her arms up in the air yelling out "wait, wait" as she watched the bus driving past her bus stop as she ran quickly down the street trying to catch up. The bus driver took notice of her in the rearview mirror as the bus slowed down and stopped opening up the doors allowing Serena to catch up as she ran up to the front of the bus fighting to catch her breath as she stepped up onto the bus and smiled to the bus driver telling her "thank you Harriet"
Harriet smiled knowing Serena's tendency to be tardy she told her "running a little late this morning are we Serena, almost didn't make it"
Serena nodded her head at the kind bus driver she told her "yeah, but here I am read to learn"
Harriet looked to her shaking her head saying "well go get your seat I have a schedule to keep"
Serena nodded her head as she walked down a couple of rows and took the open seat next to a bubbly red head her best friend Molly
Molly moved her book bag side so Serena could sit and looked to her with a smile telling her "good morning Serena, wasn't sure if you were going to make it this morning"
Serena took the seat next to her friend who was much more of a morning person than she was as she told her "hi Molly"
Molly looked over to her seeing the waffle still in hand as she questioned "over slept again did you"
Serena nodded her head as she told her "yeah the weekend seems to come and go way to quickly they really need to extend it and start school on Tuesday"
Molly smiled as she laughed at Serena's comment telling her "I agree with you, but it can't be changed. So did you complete your homework assignment for Ms. Wilkes?"
Serena's mouth dropped open as she looked to Molly shaking her head she told her "that was due today. I forgot my essay back at home"
Molly looked to her as she shook her head telling her "really Serena she repeated it three times on Friday"
Serena looked to her friend as she shook her head telling her "and how was I supposed to remember that with the weekend plans being so near"
Molly looked to her friend as she shook her head telling her "well at least you are consistent with things"
Serena opened up her book bag and went looking for a notebook to quickly write down some ideas as she told Molly nervously "you know what this means don't you. I'm going to have to stay after school again for detention"
Molly looked to her seeing Serena going through her bag telling her "we're almost at school Serena. You don't have time to write a whole essay, maybe Ms. Wilkes will be in a good mood today" as they both looked to each other shaking their heads as they said in unison "probably not"
The bus pulled up in front of the school as all the students got out and walked up to the high school as Serena looked over to Molly saying "I will see you in fifth period"
Molly nodded her head as she waved goodbye to head towards a different entrance as she yelled out telling her "yeah and don't forget your math book this time"
Serena nodded her head as she waved good bye telling her "I won't see you later" and walked straight ahead into the building
She made her way over to her locker and began to put in the combination as a boy with light brown hair came walking up and leaned up against her locker with a smile telling her "hi Serena"
Serena looked up from her locker surprised to see Jonathan standing there, the cutest boy in school whom she has a huge crush as she looked to him saying "hi Jonathan" trying to give him her best smile hoping she didn't have bad breath.
Jonathan looked to her as he leaned back against a locker crossing his arms asking "how was your weekend"
Serena looked over to him unsure how to respond. She didn't want to sound too over eager, but definitely did not want to sound uninterested or worse yet boring as she looked to him saying "it was good, but went by way to quickly and yours"
Jonathan looked to her replying uninterested saying "the same" Serena made a face thinking she blew it when Jonathan told her "there is a new Firestone movie opening in the theatres this Friday"
Serena looked to him hoping she had another shot she told him excitedly "yes I am a big fan of his movies"
Jonathan stood up so he was standing in front of her he told her with a little grin "so am I, would you may be like to go with me to see it"
Serena felt like her head was about to explode as she tried to sound as calm as possible as she nodded her head telling him "yes that would be fun"
Jonathan patted her on the shoulder as he would one of his buddies telling her "great I have to get to class, but we'll figure out the details later"
Serena nodded her head feeling speechless she told him "okay" as she watched him walk away down the hall waving good bye as she turned back to her locker and let out a silent scream telling herself "I have date with Jonathan on Friday"
With everything she lost track of the time and heard the bell ring to signal the start of class as she quickly opened her locker and grabbed her science book, closed the locker and then made a mad dash down the hallway to her classroom.
Serena walked into her third period gym class five minutes late as her gym teacher Ms. Jones looked to her stating "you're late again"
Serena dropped her shoulders feeling defeated as she walked into the gym and looked to Ms. Jones telling her "but it wasn't my fault you see first Ms. Vargas kept me after class so I was late for Mr. Benjamin's class, so then he kept me after class also, so now I'm late to gym it is a never ending cycle I tell you"
Ms. Jones looked to Serena shaking her head at the newest excuse this week telling her "well enough with the excuses. You are already late to my class you will have to play in what you are wearing"
Serena nodded her head as she went and stood with the other girls in line as Ms. Jones went and picked up a ball off a metal rack as she looked to the girls telling them "today you will all be playing dodgeball"
Serena raised her hand as Ms. Jones let out a sigh waiting to see why she was being disrupted now as she looked to Serena asking "yes what is it"
Serena put down her hand as she looked to Ms. Jones shaking her head telling her "I have a real problem with playing any sport where there will be a lot of balls flying at my head"
Ms. Jones looked to her expecting some sort of excuse from Serena not to participate she told her "well this is a sport about coordination and yes we all will be cautious about any head shots is that clear everyone"
All the students responded back in unison telling her "yes Ms. Jones" as Serena opened up her mouth to protest, but Ms. Jones cut her off picking up her whistle and blowing in it she yelled out "let's play dodgeball"
All the students quickly ran over to the cart and started grabbing balls off of it throwing them at their opponents while Ms. Jones played referee blowing her whistle signaling when you were hit to get off to the side
Serena was pleased with herself to see that so far she had successfully dodged most of the balls as there were only six players left
She picked up a ball as she through it at an opponent who dodged it quickly to the right, as they quickly picked up another ball in return and through it towards Serena. She moved to the left side out of the way of the dodgeball and did not see that she moved right in the way of another ball being thrown at another opponent and got hit hard on the right side of her head as she fell back hitting the back of her head to the wood floor.
She sat back up slowly feeling the pain in her head she wiped her eyes asking "did someone get the license plate of that ball that hit me" as she lowered her hands and looked around seeing the green grass all around her as she shook her head telling herself "I must have gotten hit harder than I thought" as she went to stand up from her spot on the grass looking around seeing she was in some sort of field with bright colored flowers all around her as she blinked her eyes telling herself "I must be dreaming" as she heard a voice behind her call out "serenity, serenity"
She turned around to look behind her to where she heard the voice, but didn't see anything as she shook her head asking aloud "okay, what is going on who said that"
Before she knew it a black cat pounced up out of the rows of flowers and sat down by her feet. Serena looked down at the cat wondering where it had come from as she bent down to pick up the cat in her arms smiling she asked her "was it you that just spoke little kitty" as she laughed at how ridiculous it sounds when the cat spoke telling her "of course it was me we have been looking all over for you"
Serena quickly dropped the cat down to the ground as she screamed while backing up on the grass yelling out "cats can't talk"
The cat shook her head as she looked to her asking "really what is that all about. Well never mind now. Serenity your mother is looking for you"
Serena looked to the talking cat realizing it was speaking to her as she shook her head questioning "my mother?"
The cat looked to her curiously nodding her head she told her "yes your mother" then walked over to Serena looking up at her seeing she looked a bit pale asking "are you feeling alright you do not look like yourself"
Serena stood there looking at the talking cat shaking her head she told herself "I am dreaming that must be it, this is some sort of crazy dream because cats don't really talk"
The black cat looked to her expecting this was another one of her silly games to avoid her responsibilities she told her "well be that as it may your mother is looking for you, now come along"
Serena looked around the strange place she was in and nodded her head as she followed the talking cat she shook her head telling herself "this has to be the strangest dream I have ever had"
The cat lead her through the fields of flowers as they walked up she started to see a large building come up into view as she looked to her talking cat friend asking "excuse me kitty, but who lives here"
The cat turned to look back at her shaking her head telling her "you certainly are not yourself today Serenity"
Serena looked to the cat puzzled by this whole place she questioned "and why do you keep calling me Serenity"
The cat looked to her amazed by her question wondering if possibly she truly is ill she told her "because that is your name"
Serena looked to her shaking her head she told her "no that is not possible"
The cat looked to her shaking her head expecting this act to be nothing more than just another ploy she told her "well of all the crazy responses Serenity. I know that you have your concerns about meeting your betrothed today, but to play this game like you have no idea where you are or who you are is taking it a bit far don't you think"
Serena looked to the cat feeling like the world was spinning as she questioned "my betrothed"
The cat looked back at her sternly which Serena knew the look well from the times her mother would give her the same look when she didn't do her homework as the cat told her "yes and he will be here shortly and your dress looks like you have been off playing somewhere in the dirt, now come along your mother is looking for you"
Serena slowly followed after the talking cat towards the building ahead as she shook her head telling herself "this is by far the strangest dream I have ever had"
The cat walked towards the giant stone building up a long pathway that led to the entrance as she followed along she heard a voice off in the distance calling out "Serenity, Serenity, Seren, Serena, Serena" as she felt the pain in her head again she closed her eyes rubbing her head then opened up her eyes again and looked around seeing she was sitting in what she was pretty certain was the school nurses office as she sat up shaking her head asking "where is she?"
The nurse walked over to her with a relieved smile telling her "I am glad to see you are awake. You had us all concerned after you took a hard hit to your head"
Serena nodded her head not really listening as she looked around the office. The nurse looked to Serena seeing her strange behavior asking "is there something wrong dear?"
Serena looked back at the nurse nodding her head she asked "the talking cat where did she go?"
The nurse looked to Serena surprised and puzzled as she shook her head questioning "talking cat?"
Serena looked to the nurse confused telling her "yeah there was a talking cat and she kept telling me my mother was looking for me"
The nurse was taken back as she looked to Serena telling her "maybe you should lie back down. I think you may have hit your head harder than I thought"
