"Bzzz...That was Ozma's 'Iceland' and here's The Used with the newest
track from off of their self titled CD, 'The Taste of Ink'".

"Is it worth it can you even hear me
I'm standing with your spotlight on me
Not enough to feed the hungry
I'm tired and I've felt it for awhile now"

"In this sea of lonely
The taste of ink is getting old its
Four o'clock in the fu-"

"Chad! Why did you shut off the radio?!"

"Because, Sere...You need to get ready so we could go to school." said
Chad.

"Well what time do we need to be there?" Serena asked.

"At 7:00"

Sitting up, Serena looked around the room in hopes of finding her
clock. Locating it on top of a box she hadn't unpacked yet, she
squinted enough to see that the bright red numbers read 6:40 A.M.

"What! Dude you suck...I barley even have twenty minutes to get ready!"

"Correction...Ten minutes"

"Ten minutes! Chad, why didn't you wake me up earlier?!"

"Because I'm a dick!" Chad said with a hint of humor in his voice.

"Arghh! Get out I need to get changed!"

"Yeah, just be downstairs in ten minutes." Chad said as he exited the
room.

Quickly going through a box at the foot of the bed, Serena found her
clothes and changed into them as fast as she could. While she put on
her low top white converse, she adjusted her knee length khaki dickies
skirt so that the slit was in the back instead of at her sides where
it had been. Sprinting to the bathroom she grabbed her light blue
denim jack and put it over her white wife beater. After five minutes
of fixing her hair she decided to just put a short white beanie on
since she had stray blonde hairs going in all directions.

"Serena! Come on we have to go."

"I'll be right down!"

Making sure she had her transcripts neatly tucked away in her khaki
side pack, she grabbed her keys and raced out of the room.

Seeing Chad waiting next to her 1967 faded black mustang, she
quickly opened the doors, put their stuff in the back seat, started
the car, and pulled out of the drive way, starting their 5 minute
drive to the school.

Putting in a CD, Serena turned the volume up while Chad rolled
his eyes.

"Aww man. I thought you stopped listening to this pussy band." Chad
said.

"You're entitled to your own opinion, as am I, and for your information
Styx is an awesome band...oh yeah...especially Tommy Shaw."

"Why do you say that about every band I hate?"

"Simple...To piss you off."

"You truly are the devil reincarnated!" Chad said with laughter clearly
evident in his voice.

"Damnit...That was classified information. Oh well. Now I'll have to
kill you." Serena said seriously.

"Serena?"

"Yeah...?"

"Shut up and drive" Chad said on the brink of annoyance.

"Too bad...we're already here" Serena said while pulling in to a
parking spot in front of the lot near the main gates.

"Ok...let's do this then." Chad said.

"Ha-Ha...yes sir!" Serena said jokingly.

After locking the doors, Serena and Chad Made their way up the steps
to the main office of Alhambra High School.

*** 30 minutes later***

"So Chad, what do you have for homeroom?" Serena asked.

"English room 176...Ms. Eickman, You?"

"Physiology with Romero in 804." Serena said.

"Well at nutrition meet me...hey...look at those chicks! I'm gonna go
score me some numbers...later Sere!" Chad said quickening his pace
towards the group of girls.

"Eh...figures." And with that Serena began to look for her class.

Ringgg! The first bell rang through out the school grounds.

"Uggh! How can I not find my class after looking for it for the past 20
minutes?" Serena said trying to dodge the oncoming crowds of students.

As Serena took time to look at the classroom numbers, she suddenly
found herself on the floor.

"Ouch" Serena said partly dazed.

"Oh man I'm sorry...here let me help you up."

Blinking away the blurriness in her eyes, Serena looked at the hand in
front of her then studied the person standing before her. He wore a
pair of faded jeans, a white and blue "The Strokes" band tee with a
denim jacket over it. Brushing raven locks out of his face he bent
down slightly to grip her hand and pull her up.

"Thanks" Serena said brushing her skirt off as she stood up.

"Hey, don't you work at...Vinyl Cut" The guy asked.

"Yeah...you're that one emo guy aren't you?"

"Uhh. Yeah I guess you could say I'm emo, but most people call me by
my name" Sticking out his hand he said "The name's Darien...
Darien Shields"

"Serena Davis" Serena smiled as she shook his hand.

"So what are you doing here?" Darien asked.

"I just enrolled into the school."

"That's cool. So are you able to find your way around?" Darien
questioned.

"Actually I'm having trouble looking for my class. It's in 804 with
Romero."

"Oh really...I'm heading there myself. If you wouldn't mind me tagging
along,I could take you there." Darien said unleashing the infamous
sexy grin of his.

"Yeah, that'd be great" Serena said as she smiled.

"Then let's go!" Darien said as he grabbed her hand and ran down the
hall towards their destination.
