Arizona to California


Serena picked up her luggage at the luggage claim. She walked out of the airport, and breathed a "Wow" it really was a sight. She looked around as the warm California breeze blew past her. The scent of sea water was strong in her nose. She turned around and facing her about 34 yards away was the beach, she smiled. Later she would go and have some fun but as for now she needed to get to the hotel and drop off her luggage. The place was very crowded, she noticed walking over to the bus station. Serena looked at the paper which she had scribbled down the name and address of the hotel. But she still couldn't remember what bus to take. She looked around, shielding her eyes from the suns bright rays, for someone who might be able to help her.

A lady stood by the bus stop she wore a really short jeans and had a pink tank top showing off her belly button. She wore her hair down, blonde hair reaching her mid back and had a lollipop in her mouth. 'And I thought I underdressed.' Serena thought quietly.

Serena dismissed it and looked down to her clothes she wore a white tank-top, short green jeans, And white boots that reached above her ankles. She had a choker on and she wore her hair in a French braid with a white fabric hair band.

Serena brushed her bangs away from her eyes and went up to meet the girl. " Hi um, do you know where this place is ?" Serena asked her pointing to the name of the hotel on the paper. The girl turned around. "Names Valerie." She said coldly, eyeing Serena up and down and putting her hand on her hip.
"Yeah, my names Serena. So DO you know where this place is." She asked again. " No I don't. And IF you hadn't noticed I was like, talking here." She said pointing behind her, where two cute guys stood. One with midnight hair and azure eyes the other, who she was flirting with before, with sunshine hair and hazel eyes. They were both looking at the conversation amused. "Sorry." Serena said. "Whatever" Valerie replied, annoyed. She turned away at went back to the blonde haired guy she was talking to. The one with blonde hair smiled at Serena. Serena smiled back, Valerie looked behind her to Serena and scowled. Valerie put her hand on the guys face and turned it back to her. She then leaned in towards the guy and whispered something in his ears and then pulled back out and ran her hand against his face. Then she pulled out a pen from her purse and took his hand and wrote, what Serena guessed as her phone number. Valerie then stepped onto the bus but as she was on the steps she blew him a kiss. Then got in as the bus doors closed behind her.

Serena scoffed at that scene. A tap on Serena's shoulder snapped her out of her state. " Hi, I'm Mina" A girl with blonde hair and a summer dress said. " I, uh kinda over heard your conversation and Valerie can be a real…" she raised her hands a little and went "Uhhhggg" "I think I know what you mean." Serena laughed. "I'm Serena." She stuck her hand out and they both shook hands. "So do you, by any chance know where this place is?" Serena asked hopefully. Mina took the piece of paper and read it. "Yeah….lets see, um you see that bus over there with the advertisement for Burger King?" she asked. Serena nodded her head. "Ok, well you wanna take that bus for about 4 stops. It should drop you a block away. And trust me you can't miss it from there." "Thanks." Serena said, smiling. "No problem" Mina said earnestly.

Serena ran to the bus quickly and hopped on before it left immune to the guy who jumped on just in the nick of time also.

Serena took a seat by the window and looked out taking in the sites. She was using a little of her left over cash to rent a cheap hotel for 3 nights until she got her check. The company had phoned her again before she left telling her how much she was getting, and when she had to be there. They also told her that she would get a 1,000 dollar check on her first day. She sighed dreamily.

Her stop came and she got out. The girl was right she could see the hotel from where she stood. Serena rummaged through her purse trying to get out her resevtion ticket. She was immune to the fact that she dropped her wallet.

The tall guy with midnight hair noticed the dropped article and picked it up. It showed no sign of her name or who she could be the only thing he knew was that she was new. And that the way Valerie treated her was unfair. He ran towards her. "Hey" he called out.

Serena could feel someone look at her, which was weird because she was surrounded by people but yet she looked over to this one direction where the guy she saw from earlier stood. She took in his features he had midnight hair, azure eyes, a chiseled face and he was in perfect shape. Like a prince, her dream guy. Was he talking to her? Serena wondered. No way but when he called out 'hey' to her. She knew he was talking to her.

These type of boys might have looked perfect but they were jerks and she knew that for a fact. She had gone out with 3 boys like him and had either been humiliated by them, cheated on, or dumped after the first day. She promised herself that she wouldn't worry herself with 'pretty boys' as her friend Jake liked to say.

Jake was her best friend since kindergarten . He was always there for her you know like a best friend should. She remembered a time when she stuck up for him because he took a truck from a bully of theirs in first grade. Quite humorous in fact. That's how they had met…. He went to Michigan after high school to study for his medical degree.

She returned back to the future where the guy was talking to her. Serena turned around and kept walking. He was probably just calling out to her to make fun of the way 'Valerie' Spoke to her. Serena picked up her pace and continued walking though the crowd.

"Wait up" he called catching up to the girl. He put his hand on her shoulder. She turned around to face him and give him a piece of her mind, but instead got caught up in his eyes. She was frozen as though in a coma and couldn't take her eyes away from his.

"Hi" she said still frozen. "So you that's how girls work today, huh?" he said. "What?" Serena asked in confusion. "I mean I was calling out to you. Playing hard to get huh?" he said giving her a lazy grin. "Anyways," he continued. "You dropped this." He said , handing her the dropped article. "Oh thanks" Serena said receiving it. "What am I that good-looking you gotta stare?" he said still grinning. "Oh, uhm, no" Serena said. "I mean…that didn't come out right. I mean , well you just looked like someone I use to know." She said. "Oh, your old boy friend?." "No, and it wouldn't be any of your concern if it was." She said turning around. "Wait, I'm sorry." He said catching her arm and turning her around. "I'm Darien Carter." Serena looked at him, then with a scowl said "Serena Lean." "Pleasure to meet you." Darien said.

Serena froze for a moment, he looked like someone she knew because he was Jake's older brother. Jake Carter. Why hadn't she realized earlier. Just to confirm her thought she asked "You wouldn't happen to know Jake Carter, would you." She asked. "Yeah in fact I would. He's my brother. How do you know him." He asked with suspicion. "Tell Jake I said hi." Serena said. She hadn't noticed but while they had been talking they had reached the hotel. She slipped inside the hotel, and leaving Darien outside in confusion.
