Serena woke at the sound of her long line of alarm clocks she has posted around her bed. 'Well, I don't need these anymore' Serena thought, 'Stanton proved to me last night that clocks don't upset him anymore.'
"Hey! Better hurry, I am not waiting forever for you to get in the shower again" Colin was up, and as usual, he was his perky self. "Serena, Now!"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm going." Serena propelled herself in the general direction of her bathroom. 'I hate mornings.' She thought, 'whoever invented them should die." She moaned in pain from the intense headache that was so obviously from last night's trauma. Serena continued doing her usual morning routine and came downstairs for breakfast.
"So, what did you do last night?" Colin asked, slurping the rest of his cereal. "Go to Planet Bang?"
"Um, no, I just came home. I didn't feel like doing anything else." Serena said, sitting on a kitchen chair.
Colin nodded in agreement, not really paying attention to his sister, or he would have noticed the tear rolling down her cheek. "Want any?" he said between slurps.
"No," said Serena, "I'm not hungry."
Nod from Colin, "sure, whatever." He then looked over his shoulder and noticed, "hey, Jimena is late."
"BEEP, BEEP."
"Ah, there she is, later Serena."
"See you tonight, Remember, Planet Bang!"
"OH yeah, I almost forgot." Colin said with a grin.
Serena walked quickly outside and hastily got into her best friend's car. "Hey chicka, what's up? What's wrong?" When Serena didn't answer, Jimena reached out and put her hand on Serena's shoulder. Serena jumped and looked frightened. "Serena," more sternly, "what happened?"
"Nothing, lets just go, huh?" Jimena just turned off the engine and gave Serena a stern look. So Serena told her the whole story, every detail, down to the dreams planted into her head. After she was finished, Jimena looked like there was a puppy placed in front of her. She leaned forward and just hugged Serena, who jerked back first, but then fell into the hug, sobbing.
"It was so horrible!"
"I know, I know.I'll be okay.shhh.It'll be okay." Jimena soothed. "Stanton would never allow that to happen, don't worry, shhhh.it'll be alright."
They drove to school in silence. Once there, the two walked to their normal meeting spot, where Catty and Vanessa were already waiting. "Oh my God! Serena! You should have came last night! We had so much fun." Said Catty, not noticing the melancholy face Serena had on. "There is this a funny incident involving a Vanessa and a punch bowl when this girl asked Michael out after he played.Serena, are you okay?"
Serena looked like she was in a trance, off in another world. Vanessa reached a hand out to her, and quickly pulled back when she saw Serena's recoil. "What happened?" Vanessa asked, "Did Stanton do something."
"Yes, yes, he saved me." Serena said, back staring far off.
"Saved you? What happened?" Catty and Vanessa said at the same time.
And Jimena told them in a nutshell what Serena had told her, but before the girls had a chance to react, Tianna came up to them.
"Hey guys, great night at Planet Bang, huh..Oh great, what did I miss?" Tianna looked at the four of them with wide-open eyes.
"I will tell you later, at first period" was Vanessa's response. Then the bell rang, and the five were off to their classes. Catty and Vanessa headed the front, followed by Jimena and Tianna, chit chatting about last night's incident with the punch bowl. And Serena was holding up the rear.
'Stanton still must love me, after all that has happened, he still loves me.he saved me after all.' Serena's thoughts consumed her, she wasn't watching where she was going. Without anyone noticing, a hand went out and grabbed Serena's arm and with a sudden pull, she was in the shadows of the school.
