Innocence of Youth
Serena marched up the steps of her new school.. She smiled at everyone. She knew today would be great. She finally gets across the steps when. She trips! Everyone stares at her. she blushed and ran through the halls.
When finally she found the Women's restroom she went inside, locked herself in a stall and sat down. She buried her face in her hands and thought about the days, weeks, years before. Why had her parents made her come to this place? She used to be so popular, she was so happy. But NO! She had to come here. to the big city. New York City, Wow.. who cares?
~*~*~*~2nd Period ~*~*~*~
Serena sat in the back of the classroom hiding behind her huge history book. The only thing to make this day worse was for the teacher to call on her. The teacher, Mr. Smildeon, walked up and down the aisles of the desks. The students cowered underneath him. the new freshman class had just finished hearing about the terrors Mr. Smildeon put on new students.
Meanwhile, Mr. Smildeon walked to the front of the room, and looked at the terrified students, he smiled.
`Who would like to read from the lesson first?' He asked. No one dared to volunteer. `Well then. Serena why don't you read first?' He asked while looking at the blonde sitting in the back row.
`M-me? Really?'
`Yes you!' Mr. Smildeon said smirking.
`Alright. in 1903.' and it went on like that, she read page after page for the next thirty minutes.
The seconds ticked by, and yet no one told her to stop. She peeked over the edge of her book and finally saw that class was over. She sighed with relief and went out into the hall. There she met someone.
`Hey you did great in there. I wouldn't have been able to do that.' The girl said with a kind face. Then she reached out and shook hands with Serena, `Hi I'm Kate. It's Serena right?'
`Yeah.' Serena said nervously.
`Aww.. I know how its like. You're new here aren't you?'
`Yeah.'
`Well don't worry I'll introduce you to everyone.' Kate said and dragged Serena away.
Serena soon realized that Kate was very popular. Soon Serena was friends with everyone in the school.
~*~*~*~ Next Day ~*~*~*~
Serena walked into the school the next day. Her confidence was restored. Yesterday hadn't been so bad after all.
She was wearing a new outfit her mother had finally let her buy. Serena had begged her mother for a half-hour yesterday at the mall. All the guys said hello to this new hottie that happened upon them.
`Hi Guys.' Serena responded blushing.
`Oooo! Serena you're so lucky!' Kate whispered to Serena.
`What do you mean Kate?' Serena said curiously but still trying to keep a straight face.
`Look who's checking you out. that's Darien. The hottest guy in the school!'
`Really? Do you think he's checking me out. No he's looking at you.'
`No way! Serena he's totally into you.'
Serena went even redder and ran away with Kate to first period. They giggled and gossiped whenever the teacher turned around.
~*~*~*~ Lunch ~*~*~*~
`Hey Serena! There's a party this weekend? Are you coming?' Kate asked.
`Yeah! Wouldn't miss it!'
`Cool. Because I heard Darien's going to be there! That'll be you perfect chance..'
~*~*~*~ Party ~*~*~*~
Serena walked into the party with Kate. She sat on the couch and talked with Kate and her new friends. It seemed that every single guy wanted to dance with her, but Serena only giggled and refused the invitation.
`Are you crazy Serena?' Jessica asked (Jessica is Serena's friend.)
`No. I don't feel like dancing that's all.' She replied.
Serena didn't know but sitting across the room Darien was staring at her. His eyes stared at this new blonde. Is she to good to be true? He kept asking himself this question.
`Yo, dude are you alright?' asked one of Darien's friends. They laughed when Darien came back down to earth.
`Yeah I'm fine.' He said.
`If you like her so much just ask her to dance.'
`What? I don't like her.' Said, a little fidgety
`Sure.'
Then that whole night both the lovebirds shared the same routine. Darien stared, Serena refused. At eleven o' clock it all changed.
`Hey, Serena, do you want to dance?' Darien said casually to Serena in front of everyone. This caused a lot of {oo's} around the room.
`Umm.. sure.' Serena said.
They danced the night away.
~*~*~*~ Next Weekend ~*~*~*~
Darien and Serena's gang got together the next Saturday. They all sat around in a dance club. Serena had just had her first date with Darien the night before.
`So are you two officially going out now?' Kate asked Serena.
`Umm.' Serena blushed and looked at Darien for help.
`Yes.' Darien said finishing Serena's sentence.
`OOOO..' everyone said teasing.
`So you guys like each other?' Kate asked.
`What do you think?' Serena said.. then turned to Darien and whispered, `What should we do?'
`Let's escape.'
`How?'
`Like this.' Darien said and then put his arm around Serena (everyone started teasing them) then he took her in his arms and sprinted to the other end of the club and out the door. Once they were in the parking lot he set Serena down, `I think we did it.' Darien said gasping for breath.
`So do I.' Serena said. As she did she leaned in and kissed him.
