Chapter 2
As soon as she stepped in, the whole class was looking at her. She felt like to run to the bathroom and hide there until the day was over. Although she got many stares from other schools, she never could get used to be the center of attention, especially if it was not very good attention. She heard many whispers when a booming voice said, "Quiet down, class!"
"Hello there, you must be Serena Lovette, am I right?"
"Y-Yes, I am," said Serena, a little embarrassed by all the attention she was getting.
"I'm Ms. Clark, and I'm your homeroom teacher for the remaining year. And," she said to Serena, and turned to the class, "class! This is Serena Lovette, and she will be joining us for the rest of the year. Please welcome her WARMLY." Ms. Clark remembered the last time a new student was welcomed. Toilet paper was littered over the student's house, and shaving cream as a bonus. "Ms. Lovette, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?"
Serena wasn't sure if her voice was working at the moment. It's not easy speaking infront of 20 to 25 people who she has never met before. "Okay…I moved here from Massachusetts, I'm 17, and I have an older brother and a father who is in the Army," said a nervous Serena.
"Interesting…" said Ms. Clark as she kept nodding, "well, any questions for Ms. Lovette?"
"I have a question for her," replied a boy with ebony hair and midnight blue eyes.
"Yes, Mr. Shockcor?" Ms. Clark stared skeptically at the boy.
"What's your phone number?"
The class burst into laughter as the teacher started yelling at the boy.
"Sorry about that, Miss Lovette. That will NEVER happen AGAIN, right, Mr. Shockcor?" Anyone in that classroom would have got the impression that steam was coming out of her ears.
The boy smirked and feigned an innocent look, "Why, of course not, Ms. Clark!"
"Now, Ms. Lovette, will you take a seat behind Ms. Hart?"
Serena, wondering who in the world was "Ms. Hart", looked around to find a blonde girl waving her hand in the air. Shooting a grateful look to the girl, Serena walked to her seat and sat down.
The blonde turned around and looked at Serena. "Hey, you look a lot like me! I'm Mina. You're Serena, right?"
"Hi, nice to meet you."
"Do you know that THE most popular guy in this school just asked for your phone number?!"
"Um…he was probably just joking around or something," said Serena, not really interested. Great, it's my first day and I'm already getting made fun of. Well, at least I made two new friends today. Wow, two in a day, this is too good to be true. I hope it's not a joke.
"Anyway, you'll like it here. It's a really good school and there's lots of amazing people, parties, shopping malls, and definitely beaches. It's great. You'll fall in love with it," she gushed excitedly. Then her face suddenly brightened, "Hey! I know! I'll show you around the town! You can meet all my friends and stuff! This is so exciting!"
"Really? I mean, are you sure this isn't taking away your study time or anything like that? This school looks pretty hard." Serena couldn't believe it. This girl just asked her to hang out together. For Serena this was strange. All the other schools that she has been to have been unfriendly. All the students already had friends and it seemed as if they didn't have any room for one more.
"No! Not at all! This school is kinda stressful, but you just gotta be like, whatever, and relax, you know? 'Cause if you don't, then you are REALLY gonna get bogged down."
"Oh, okay, then I'd love for you to show me the town."
"Good, then I'll meet you after school at the front gate, okay?"
"Okay"
"We better start paying attention or Ms. Clark will seriously blow."
Maybe this school won't be so bad after all. Serena felt someone's eyes on her. She turned to see who it was, and it was none other than Darien Shockcor. He had a look of interest in his eyes. When their eyes met, he put on a smirk and turned back to passing notes to his friends. God, I hope he doesn't play some kind of prank on me. He looks like the type to do that kind of stuff: popular and good-looking. Lita wasn't kidding when she said that he looked good. I should be careful.
*Bell rings*
"So, what class do you have now?" Mina asked.
"I have Physics now, and then Spanish, and then Calculus, and then lunch. That's what my schedule says anyway," answered Serena.
"Oh, I don't have any of those with you. That totally blows! Oh well, I'll just have to see you at lunch, k?"
"Okay, I'll see you then."
Okay, now I have physics, room 140. Where's room 140? Jeez, this school is huge! I hope I'm not going to be late, or else I'll be marked as the "late girl" for the rest of the year.
Serena felt a presence behind her. She turned around to face a guy's chest, and she looked up to find Darien Shockcor's face.
"Need help getting to your classes?" He asked with a smooth, confident voice.
"No thanks, I can get to my classes just fine. Thanks for asking, though," she replied with a quiet voice.
"Awww…come on, you know you want me to help you. Besides, I know that this school's pretty big, so you'll probably need some help." He seemed pretty confident that she was going to say yes, so she stubbornly decided to refuse his offer again.
"No, it's really okay," Serena told him a little coldly, trying not to sound annoyed. She did a 180-degree turn and started to walk away, when she heard him say, "Okay, but don't blame me if you get lost!"
Who the hell does that guy think he is? Just because he's some popular jock!
Darien was confused. He couldn't think of a reason why she would turn down a perfectly good offer. What's up her ass? Even though he thought she was a little cold, he couldn't deny that she was beautiful. He wanted to find out everything about her, what kind of food she liked, down to her favorite color. Next time, he'll try harder. Wonder if she'll like to eat lunch with me…
