The Perfect Life

Prologue

Serena Lovette took a good look at her new bedroom. Everything in it was a different shade of blue and purple. The reason this blonde-hair, blue-eyed beauty was looking at her bedroom was because she had just moved to another state. Figures, they wouldn't even let me decorate my own room, she thought. Her father was in the Army, so she moved around at least twice a year. The good thing about this was that she got to see many different, beautiful places, and the bad thing about this was that she never stayed long enough to make any friends. Hawaii is going to be just like all the other places, boring and unfriendly. With this thought, Serena slowly fell asleep.

Chapter 1

"Darien, my man," said Andrew as he ran across the school field toward another student, "that was an awesome party you threw last night!" Andrew Taylor was good-looking, had sandy-blonde hair and emerald eyes, a senior, and was well known around Suncrest High for his lively school spirit.

"Thanks, Drew," said the grinning, midnight blue-eyed young man with ebony hair, "but what else do you expect from the Great Darien?" Darien Shockcor was also eminent and a senior. He had the looks, the brains, and most importantly, the popularity; this would explain why he was so egotistical. Even though Darien and Andrew were complete opposites, they had been best friends ever since they were in diapers.

At that moment, a gorgeous red head walked up and attached herself to Darien. "Darien! I missed you!" cooed Rachel Riley, the red head. Rachel, or Raye, as her friends called her, was captain of the cheerleading squad, while Darien was captain of the football team. She was always talking about how they belonged together since they were both captains of the two "most important" teams of the school.

"You just saw me yesterday at my party, Raye." Darien sighed, exasperated. Damn, I only dated her once, and this is what I get?

"I know, silly!" Raye giggled, "Can you blame me for missing my boyfriend?"

"News flash, dudette! Darien's not your boyfriend, and he never will be, so why don't you go drool over someone else, 'Kay?"

"It's okay, Drew. I can speak for myself." Darien, disgusted, looked over at Raye.

"See, Andrew? My Darien does care about me! But then again, you wouldn't see. After all, you are just an air head, who doesn't deserve to be friends with my precious Dare-bear!" Raye said, smirking.

Darien's eyes narrowed and glared at the redheaded girl, who was totally unaware of what Darien was thinking. "Why don't you just fuck off, Raye," Darien spat out.

Raye's eyes flashed a look of hurt for a millisecond, but quickly switched to one of shock and fury. Her mouth kept on opening and closing, and when she couldn't think of anything to say, she stomped off into the school building.

After watching the whole scenario, a brown-eyed student came up to the infamous duo, "Dude! How could you so totally do that! Like, that was way harsh, Dare! I mean, like, even for you, man!" His long, tangled, bleached hair blew into face.

"Thank you very much, Chad," said Darien sarcastically, "I really appreciate your support."

Andrew started cracking up, "Do I sense a crush, lover boy? Huh?"

"Shut up, dude!"

Raye has never been turned down before and she was definitely not about to break her record now. In the midst of her thoughts, she wasn't watching where she was heading and ended up on the floor of the hallway with a certain blonde senior. Feeling helpless that she couldn't control anything that happened to her today, she might as well take her anger out on an unimportant student. They were up to their elbows with books and papers.

"Watch where you're going, bitch!" yelled Raye, who was rubbing her sore bottom.

"I-I'm really sorry." The blonde said in a soft voice.

"You better be, if I even have a little scratch or a bruise on me, I swear I'll-"

"Are you okay?"

The blonde looked up to a tall girl with brown hair and green eyes. "Yes, I'm fine, but what about her?"

"Don't worry about her. She's always pissing everyone off," said the tall student, "and by the way, I'm Lita Winters."

"I'm Serena Lovette," said the blonde.

"EXCUSE me for interrupting this TOUCHING moment, but how DARE you butt in the middle of MY speech!" The fiery red head ranted.

"Oh, shut up," Lita said, " and what if I did interrupt you? You wanna do something about it?" By this time, she was cracking her knuckles.

"You don't scare me, tomboy." Raye bit back and coldly glared at her as she continued her way to homeroom.

"Sorry about that," Lita said as she relaxed her fists. "You must be new here, since I haven't seen you around. Don't take it personally, she's notorious for her temper. Her name is Rachel, but her friends call her Raye. She's also a senior and the most popular girl in this school." She snorted, "Although I have no idea why. But then again, it's probably because she spreads rumors that her and Darien are going out."

"Who's Darien?"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot," she gave Serena a sheepish look, "Darien Shockcor is THE most hottest guy that any girl will EVER see." Lita sighed dreamily as her eyes began to glaze over. "He has the most GORGEOUS pair of midnight blue eyes and the silkiest black hair!"

By the end of her little speech, Serena could swear she saw stars in Lita's eyes. "Hmm, he must be pretty…hot."

"Pretty hot? Pretty hot?! Girl, try PERFECT!"

Serena chuckled, "I think you're going a little too far. I mean, he can't be that perfect. No one is. And besides, you're only judging by his looks."

"No, you don't understand. He is perfect. I mean, for god's sake, girl, he's been on the high honor roll ever since he started going to school!"

"So what if he's smart? You still don't know his personality." Serena countered.

"Well…that's true," Lita murmured thoughtfully.

~*the bell rings*~

"Oh, well, we better get going," said Lita, "You don't want to get detention on your first day here. Hey, which homeroom are you in?"

"Room 203. You?"

"Oh, I'm room 204." Lita seemed disappointed for a moment. "Hey! Why don't you sit with me and my friends at lunch?"

"I don't know…I don't want to barge in on you guys."

Serena looked hesitant until Lita said, "Come on, they'll love to meet you! I promise!" Lita looked pleadingly at Serena.

"Well, if you say so…" said a defeated looking Serena.

"All right, so, meet me by the big willow tree on the back yard at lunch time. Gotta go, see ya later!"

"Bye!" Serena felt a little more relaxed now that she had a friend, but she was still nervous about being the new girl. She never got around to getting use to new people even if she did move around a lot.

Exhaling deeply, Serena stepped into her homeroom. Well, here goes nothing.
