It was hard for Serena to keep her wounded knuckles from her parents, but she managed by keeping gloves on her hands, claiming that it was cold.
It was Monday night and Serena was sitting on her bed, playing her guitar when the phone rang. She leaned over to her night stand for her black old fashioned telephone.(you know, the ones where you have to stick your finger in the little number whole and wind it around? I love those phones, I want one, but I don't know what the hell they are called! So if any of you guys know, could you PLEASE tell me?)
She picked up the phone's reciever and said,
"Hello?"
"Hey Serena?" Came a deep voice from the other end.
"This is Serena. Who's this?" She replied wondering who in the world would call her since she knew almost no one.
"This is Darien." He said.
"Oh hey Darien. What's up?" She asked surprised, as she smiled, unknowingly, to herself.
"Not much. I just wanted to call and tell you that I'll pick you up at your house at 6:45."
"Oh yeah. I completely forgot. Thanks for calling and reminding me." She said gratefully.
'What else do I say???' She asked herself silently, panicking.
"So did your parents wonder about your knuckles and your guitar?" Darien asked from the other line.
"No. They had left me a note saying they went to the grocery store, they didn't get home untill about an hour after I did." Serena explained to Darien while playing a little bit on her unplugged guitar.
Darien laughed.
"Shit. Were they seriously grocery shopping for an hour!?!" Darien asked unbelieving.
Serena giggled.
"I know! That's what I thought! I was like, 'what are they really up to?'" She said suspiciously, stroking her imaginary gotee(I don't know how to spell that. Hehe).
Darien laughed along with her as they made suggestions about her parent's whereabouts the day before.
Serena stole a glance at her clock and read that it was 9:30.
'Oh my god. Me and Darien have been talking for almost two hours! Wow. It is great talking to him though.' She said smiling.
"Well Darien its been awesome talking to you for two hours but I gotta get to sleep, I've been really tired lately, I guess I still have a little bit of jet-lag from the plane ride here, so I better get to bed. I'll see you tomorrow morning ok?" She asked hopefully, praying he wouldn't change his mind.
"Ok Serena, see you tomorrow morning. Sweet dreams. 'Night." He said into the phone.
Serena smiled happily.
"'Night!" Serena replied happily hanging up the phone and snuggling under the comforter, wanting to get to bed so tomorrow would come faster when Darien would pick her up.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!"
"Huh! What?!?" Serena said bolting up in bed.
She turned to her side to see her mother leaning over her smiling.
"Mom! You're a weird one you know that?" She said while starting to laugh hysterically at her mother who had decided to act like an alarm clock to wake her up.
"I know." She said while giggling like a school girl, straighting her hair and fixing her hair as if she took Serena's remark as a compliment.
This forced an even bigger fit of giggles from her mother.
"Mom, you're a nut-case, but I love ya." Serena said as she pushed off her covers and got up.
Her mother smiled and said,
"Aww, how flattering you are this morning, I love you too you ragga-muffin." Ilene said using her nickname for her daughter.
Serena replied by grumbling and walking into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.
"That girl..." Her mother said, a smile apparent on her face as she strode out of her daughter's already cluttered room and down-stairs to make breakfast.
Serena sat on the toilet thinking about what she was going to wear today when she almost fell asleep.
"Huh?" She said tiredly as her head popped back up.
She giggled softly at herself thinking about how she almost fell asleep on the toilet. (Lovely mental picture right? lol well it made me laugh:P)
Serena quickly brushed her teath and did her make-up, then walked to her closet picking out a pair of old, tattered jeans and her black Ramones shirt that was worn out, and frayed a bit at the edges and hung tightly around her hips, showing off her womanly figure. She rolled up the sleaves of her shirt to her shoulders and then bent down and rolled up her pant-legs twice. She then walked over to her Dr. Martins boots and put those on. (Oh yeah, I wanted to make sure I explained these right, if you imagined them wrong it'd look a bit weird to the mind's eye. They're the high-top ones, ya know, they go to about mid-calf.) Serena then went back to the bathroom to do her hair.
When she was in the middle of putting her second bun up she heard the doorbell.
'Oh shit, I'm late.' She thought to herself as her fingers worked faster.
"Oh hello Darien. Good morning." Ilene said as she opened the door to greet Darien.
"Come in. I'm afraid Serena is running a bit late. But, when isn't she?" Her mother said with a small laugh as Darien stepped in the warm house.
"Oh that's fine, I'm here early anyways." Darien said as he followed Ilene into the kitchen.
Darien looked around at the house now that it was filled with furniture. He noted that Ilene had good decorating skills.
'She knows just how to make a house feel warm.' He commented to himself.
"This is really a nice house Mrs. Harley. You are an amazing decorator." He comlimented.
"Why thank you Darien. Oh and don't bother with the Mrs. Just call me Ilene." She said as she rounded the counter.
"This is Serena's father, Ken." Ilene introduced Ken to Darien as he sipped a cup of coffee. He had to put down the paper to shake hands with Darien.
"It's nice to meet you Darien." Ken said putting his coffee down aswell to talk.
"It's nice to meet you too Mr. Harley." Darien said in greeting.
"Oh please, call me Ken." Ken insisted of Darien.
Darien nodded curtly.
"Ok Ken." He said.
"Ok! I'm ready! Sorry I'm late Darien!" Serena said as she ran down the stairs.
"Don't worry about it Serena, I was early anyways." Darien said as he looked at her attire.
'I swear, I LOVE the way she dresses.' Darien said mentally.
"Oh, good. Well then I guess we better get going." Serena said as she walked over to her mother.
"Yup." Darien said.
Serena hugged and kissed her mother on the cheek and then walked over to Ken and gave him a peck on the cheek from over the counter.
"Bye Mom, bye Dad."
"Bye Ragga-muffin."
"Bye Odango." Both her parents said their good-byes.
"Mom! Dad! I swear you two live to embaress me don't you?" She said rolling her eyes.
"Ofcourse." Both her parents said simultaneously.
They all started laughing except Serena.
"Ah jeeze. Come on Darien, before my WEIRD parents embaress me even more." She said while smiling and pulling Darien to the door.
"Bye!" Her parents yelled after her.
All they got in response was the slamming of the front door.
"You and your parents close?" Darien asked as they got into the car.
"Yeah. I guess you can say that." Serena laughed at the memory of this morning.
"My mom, this morning, it was so funny, she woke me up by mimicking a very annoying alarm clock. She screached beep in my ear. Really loud." She explained starting her laughing fit over.
She heard Darien's rich laugh.
'Wow. His voice is beautiful. Beautiful? Jeeze Serena, stop acting like a love sick puppy.' She scolded herself.
"Ya know this morning when I went in to the bathroom, I fell asleep on the toilet!" She said laughing hysterically. She then stopped ubruptly.
"Wow. I really should have kept that piece of information to myself." She said to Darien as she blushed profusely.
"Sorry my mouth has a tendency to talk before I think." She said as she giggled, embaressed.
Darien laughed again.
"You remind me of Mina. That's Andrew girlfrien. She just tells you everything. Even if you don't want to know. You're funny Serena. I think you'll get a long with Mina really well. It's scary how alike you too are." Darien said as he turned a corner.
Serena blushed once again at the compliment.
"Thanks...I think." She said while wondering if that was really a compliment or an underlying insult. (Is that even a word? Underlying? I hope so or I'm gunna look really stupid.)
"Well we're here." Darien said as he parked his black Saturn.
"We still have about fifteen minutes before school starts. Have you gotten your schedule yet?" He asked her as they got out.
"Nope. I probably should go to the office and get it huh?" She said.
"Yeah probably." Darien said smiling.
"You want me to go with you?" He asked her as they started walking towards the steps leading into the school.
"Sure. If you want to. But if you've got somewhere to be it's no problem, I'm sure I can find it on my own." Serena said as she looked over to him.
"Nope. I don't have anywhere to be. I think I'll just keep you company." He laughed as they came to the stairs.
"Hey look Darien. Your lovely and gracious beauty. What was her name again? Oh yeah, Beryl." Serena said as she nodded her head in the direction of Beryl, standing off to the side with three of her friends.
She gave Serena a dirty look as she bounded over to Darien, swinging her arms around him in a hug.
Serena rolled her eyes.
'How can he stand her!?!' She thought incredulously.
"Oh Darien! I'm so happy to see you. I missed you." Beryl said in a sickeningly sweet voice.
"Get off me Beryl." Darien said deadly.
Beryl let go of his neck and slipped to his side linking on to his arm as they walked into school grounds.
"Oh god, please! Get a hold of yourself girl! He doesn't like you! Get over yourself and leave him alone." Serena said looking over at Beryl on the opposite side of Darien.
Beryl again gave Serena a nasty look and then looked up at Darien sweetly.
"You don't want me to leave do you Dare?" Beryl said making them halt to a stop, as she rubbed her chest up against his.
Darien stiffened noticeably.
"Yes Beryl. Leave. And stay the hell away from me." Darien said roughly as he pushed passed her, leaving Beryl standing there, seething.
'That stupid bitch has brainwashed him! You'll get what's comming to you whore!' She thought silently as she walked back over to her friends around the corner.
"Wow Darien. That was brutal...I taught you well." Serena said as she faked proud, tear sounds. She dabbed at her eye for the convincing effect.
Darien laughed at her.
"I learned from the best." He said looking at her from the corner of his eye, and smiled a genuin grin of laughter.
Serena patted him on the back good-naturedly as they walked into the office.
Serena went to the front desk and asked.
"Where can get my schedule? I'm new here." She said as the woman looked up at her.
"Oh. Well since you're new you wouldn't be getting you're schedule with the rest of the students in home room. So I should have it right here somewhere." The elderly lady said as she rummaged through one of her drawers.
She pulled out an envelope labeled "New Students."
She opened and said,
"What's you name dear?"
"Serena Harley." Serena replied, looking over the counter.
"Here it is. Here you go. Oh and your homeroom number is 506. But homeroom is only for today. That's just so that the other kids can get their schedules." She explained as she marked something off on a piece of paper.
"Ok, well I've put down that you got your schedule and that you're here. So when your homeroom teacher asks for people that he didn't call you don't have to worry about it." The elderly lady explained as she smiled sweetly at her, like a grandmother.
"Thank you." Serena said as she turned around and her and Darien walked out.
"Well, we still got ten minutes before school starts. You wanna come hang out with me and the guys?" Darien offered knowing she didn't know anyone else.
Serena smiled her gratitude and said,
"Sure. Wow, a bunch of guys. This should be interesting." She said while giggling.
"Well their girlfriends will probably be there too so you won't be completely surrounded in testosterone." Darien said as they walked.
Serena giggled at his joke.
"Well that's a relief." They laughed, but inwardly she was getting nervous. Meeting new people was a little scary for her.
"Hey guys." Darien greeted as him and Serena walked up to them.
It was a group of about nine. Four girls and four guys.
They all said their hellos.
"Guys this is Serena, the new addition to the band. Serena you've already met Andrew and Chad. That's Mina, Andrew's girlfriend, the one that I mentioned to you earlier, that's Raye, she's Chad's girlfriend." He said while pointing to a blonde girl that looked remarkably like her and a girl that had long violet hair. They smiled warmly at her as she smiled back.
"Then there's Ken and Lita." He said motioning to a tall dark brown headed guy, and then to an also tall girl with pinkish brown hair that was up in a pony tail.
"And then that's Greg and Amy." He said lastly pointing to a guy with brown/blonde hair and a girl with warm eyes and bright blue hair. Serena smiled at them too as they smiled back and Amy waved.
The girls walked over to her as Darien walked over to the guys.
"Serena. It's very nice to meet you." The one named Amy said as she once again smiled at her, hands clutched down infront of her.
"Yeah ditto. So where are you from Serena?" Raye asked her curiously.
"New York." Serena replied.
"Oh I've always wanted to go there!" Mina piped up, hearts in her eyes.
"I don't think you'd like it really. Unless you like rude and pushy people. The theater is nice, and the little places in the city, but frankly the people suck." She said to them.
"Oh really? Are there any cute guys there?" Lita asked, eyes hungry for information.
"Lita!" They all yelled at her.
"Really Lita. You have a boyfriend remember?" Amy said eyeing Lita with a twinkle of laughter in her eye.
"Ah jeeze Amy." Lita moaned.
"I just wanna know. It's not like I'm gunna hop the next plane to America!" Lita yelled exasperated.
Serena smiled at them. They were a site. Yelling at each other like sisters. Serena missed that. She let herself giggle at the girls.
"Yeah! I second that Lita." Mina said jumping up and down.
Both Amy and Raye rolled their eyes at the two hormone crazy girls.
Serena just laughed and answered,
"Yeah actually there are. But there are a lot of cute guys here you guys. So don't feel jipped." Serena said to her new-found friends.
Lita looked over at her, and then back at her boyfriend Ken.
"Oh, don't worry, I don't feel jipped."
Serena smiled. These friends were alright, she concluded.
That's when she heard the bell. It was time to start school.

So how was that? Any good? I hope so! Ok well don't forget to review you little green eyed monsters! Hehehe just kidding! See ya later you guys!
