Chapter 3
"What's this room?" Mina asked curiously.
"Oh, um... It's the office where Susan works at," Serena
said.
"Can we take a look?" Raye asked.
"Um... Sure," Serena said as she opens the door.
The girls were once more fascinated as they walked into the
office room. There were computers and other electronics in the
room, with little TVs on one wall and a big one in the middle.
On the other side of the wall were built in bookshelves, full
with books of all types and subjects.
"Whoa! Way cool!" Lita exclaimed.
"Yep! This is the first place that I see so many computers
and electronics, other than the computers and electronics store
of course," Amy said.
"This is where Susan works when she's not at her office,"
Serena said. 'This is also where I work and go to my college
classes. Oh! Mentions of classes, I have one in thirty minutes!
But how can I log on, when they're here?' 'Why don't you just
tell them the truth? It'll be easier and they're wonderful
people. They'll still be your friends.' The voice in side her
head said.
"Um... Why don't we go back to the game room?" Serena
asked.
The others nodded and left the room. On their way there, they
bumped into Susan. "Hi girls! Did Usa give you all a tour yet?"
Susan asked.
"Uh huh, this house is fascinating," Mina said.
"Yes, I especially love your office," Amy said.
"Usa showed you the office?" Susan asked looking at
Serena.
Raye seeing this got worried. She didn't want Serena to get in
trouble for showing them the office. "We asked her to show it
to us, please don't yell at her," Raye said.
"Yell at her? What makes you think that I'm going to yell
at her?" Susan asked turning to look at Raye.
"I don't know, you sounded like you were mad when you said
it," Raye replied.
"Oh! Well, don't worry. Usa's not in trouble or anything.
I was just surprise that she showed you all the office," Susan
said.
"Um... Susan?" Amy said.
"Yes?" Susan asked.
"Those books in the book shelves, can I take a look at
them sometimes?" Amy asked.
"Sure, go a head. You didn't have to ask me, you could
have asked Usa," Susan said.
"Oh, but she said that it was your office, so I thought
that it's better to ask your permission," Amy said.
Susan turns to give Serena a questioning look. While Serena
just stood there quietly. "Well, you can look at it any time
you like," Susan said.
"Thanks!" Amy said happily.
"Um... Why don't you guys go to the game room first? I
have to talk to Susan," Serena said.
"Ok!" The girls said walking off towards the game room.
"Um... Susan, I have classes in ten minutes. Can you cover
for me?" Serena asked.
"Cover your classes or your friends?" Susan asked.
"My friends of course," Serena said.
"Um... Ok, but how long?" Susan asked.
"Well, I only have one class today, since it's Friday. So,
it's about forty-five minutes," Serena answered.
"Fine, but you better hurry up," Susan said.
"Oh! Thank you! Thank you!" Serena said as she gave Susan
a hug and ran off towards the office.
*In the game room*
When Susan enters the room, she sees Mina playing the
Sailor V video game, Raye and Lita playing at the ping pong
table, and Amy sitting on a beanbag reading. "Glad that you
girls are having fun," Susan said smiling.
The girls looked up and gave Susan a big smile, then return to
their game.
"Uh, where's Usagi?" Amy asked looking behind Susan to see
if Serena was coming in.
"She had a phone call from one of her cousins in the
States. So, she'll be talking for a while," Susan answered as
she took a seat next to Amy.
"Oh!" Amy said.
"So, what are you reading?" Susan asked.
"A book on medicals," Amy replied.
"You are planning to be a doctor?" Susan asked and Amy
nodded her head.
"My mom's a doctor and I've always dreamed of becoming a
doctor ever since I was small," Amy said.
"Well, I know for a fact that you'll indeed become a
wonderful doctor," Susan said.
"Thanks!" Amy blushed at the comment.
"You welcome! Now, I also know that you'll like some of
the books in the office."
"Oh?"
"Yes, there are a lot of medical books in there. For
instance, there's a book on anatomy, physics, chemistry,
biology and a lot more."
"Wow! You study them?"
"Oh, no! Those aren't mines, I'm more into designing."
"Oh, well then whose is it?"
At that moment Serena walked in.
"Why don't you ask Usa?" Susan said.
The girls looked up to see Serena enters the room, looking
unhappy and a little stressed out.
"Are you ok?" Lita asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?" Serena asked,
plastering a smile on her face.
"Because you walked in here looking like you're very tired
and ready to kill someone," Raye said.
"Oh, well, I'm fine," Serena said.
"Well, ok then," Lita said before she and Raye get back to
their game. Mina also returns to the video game. While the
other two looked at her, Susan with a questioning look.
"How was the phone call?" Susan asked.
"Phone call?" Serena asked a bit confused.
"The one that you just had," Amy said.
"Oh! Right! It was pleasant," Serena said.
"Ok, well, I'm going to prepare dinner," Susan said as she
got up from her seat.
"I'll help! I love to cook," Lita said excitedly.
"Yeah, and a fine cook too!" Raye said.
"Well, ok then follow me," Susan said as the two leaves
the room.
"Dinner's ready!" Lita yelled out.
Everyone went into the dining room, where all the foods were.
They took their seats and waited patiently. "Mmm... Smells
delicious!" Serena said cheerfully.
"Yep! And looks good too!" Mina said.
"Well, why don't we all began to eat?" Lita asked.
"Um... You girls go right ahead, I have to talk with Usa
for a moment," Susan said.
"Ok, then we'll wait. I'm sure that you two won't take
long," Amy said and the others nodded. Susan and Serena left
the dining room and went into the kitchen. "Yes?" Serena asked.
"How was class today? You didn't seem too happy when you
got back. What happen?" Susan asked.
"Nothing really, we had a pop quiz today that's all,"
Serena replied.
"Oh, well I'm sure that you did well. Nothing to worry
about."
"Yeah, I know."
"So, have you taken your medicine yet?"
"No, I didn't get a chance to."
"Well, why don't you take it now before we eat?"
"Ok!"
Serena left the kitchen and ran up the stairs to her room.
While Susan went back into the dining room.
"Uh, where's Usa?" Raye asked.
"She went to the restroom, she'll be out in a little bit,"
Susan said.
"Oh!" The others said.
Few minutes later, Serena came back into the dining and took
her seat next to Susan. She gave them a big smile. "So, shall
we start?" Serena asked.
"Yes! We shall, I'm starving!" Mina said.
Everyone laughed and began to eat their dinners.
After dinner, everyone except Susan settled down in the
family room watching movies on the big screen TV. They watched
movies till one in the morning, when Susan has to come in to
tell them to go to bed. At first everyone didn't want to, but
they all agreed when they realized how tired they are.
"Well, good night everyone!" Lita yelled out.
They are all laying on the floor in sleeping bags in Serena's
room.
"Night!" The others yelled out.
Then there was silence.
The next morning, everyone was still sleeping except for
Susan and Amy. Susan was getting ready for work and Amy's in
the office looking at the books. Then Serena woke up and
couldn't get back to sleep so she went down stairs for
breakfast. "Morning," Serena said as she pour herself a cup of
tea.
"Morning, why are you up this early? And on a weekend
too," Susan said.
"I couldn't go back to sleep. Plus I have classes in an
hour."
"I see."
"Uh, do you know where Amy could be?"
"Have you checked the office?"
"Oh, right books and computers."
"Well, I have to get to work now. Have fun, but don't go
too wild."
"Don't worry we will."
"Will have fun or will get wild?"
"Both."
Susan left the house and Serena went into the office. When she
entered she saw Amy reading a book on a leather sofa.
"Morning!" Serena said as she walks up to Amy. Amy looks up and
smiles. "Morning! Didn't expect you to be up this early," Amy
said.
"Yeah, well, I couldn't get back to sleep, so I decided to
wake up."
"Oh!"
"So, what are you reading?" Serena asked as she points to
the book.
"Um... A book that talk about different types of cancer."
"Oh, good choice! It's really interesting."
Amy gave Serena a weird look. "You read it before?"
"Of course, I mean why by them if you don't plan to read
it?"
"These books are all yours?" Amy asked surprisingly.
'Oh, no! Why did I just say that? It must be this waking up
early thing. It's getting to my brain.' Serena thought. "Uh,
yeah. These are all mines."
"I didn't know that you're interested in medical."
"Um... Amy, I'm about to tell you something that'll
surprise you, but I want you to promise me that you won't tell
the girls. Promise?"
Amy looked at Serena's serious face and thought for a moment.
"I promise."
"Ok, then the truth is that I'm out of middle school and
high school. I'm a junior at John Hopkins University. I came
here because I wanted to see how it's like to live as a normal
teen, instead of the genius that no one talks to. Susan isn't
my real sister and Usagi Carson isn't my real name. Susan is a
really close friend. She'd lived with me ever since my parents
died. My real name is Serena Lawrence and my real sister is
Haruka Lawrence. She's the shorthaired blonde that you saw in
the picture yesterday. The other people in it are also so close
friends, like Michiru Kaiou, she's the one with the aqua air.
Michi is Haruka's girlfriend. Then there's that little girl,
Heather Lawrence. She's my niece and she's also Michi, Haruka,
and Susan's daughter. We adopted Heather when I was eleven and
Heather was one."
Amy sat there speechless as she tries to take in the news.
"You're a junior at John Hopkins? One of the best medical
school? And you're also Serena Lawrence? One of the Lawrence
sisters whose the owner of the Lawrence's Inc.?"
"Yep, my sister and I own the place. I help her run it,
along with Susan and Michi. That's why I was busy the last
three days. I had to finish a project."
"Oh, so how can you attend your classes when you're here
and not in the states?"
"Oh! I can still attend the classes by getting online.
Matter of fact, I have classes in thirty minutes. If you want
you can stay and watch."
"Um... Sure! That'll be great."
Serena smiled and went to turn on her computer.
"Uh... Usagi?" Amy said.
"Yes?" Serena asked as she turns to look at Amy.
"Why did you tell me this and not the girls?"
Serena was silence for a while and Amy thought that Serena
wouldn't answer her question. "When I was younger, everyone
shun me just because my family was rich and I was smart. I had
managed to skip several grades. Then I ended up in high school
when I was nine. I didn't get to make any friends my age,
because I was in a school that didn't have anyone my age. And,
also because none of the kids my age liked me. They would tease
me and call me names. The only people that were my friends were
Haruka, Michiru, and Susan. They all went to the same high
school as I did and the only thing that was different was that
they were a few grades higher than I was. They were there when
the older kids would pick on me. I remember one time, Haruka
beat up this group of boys that was picking on me when I was at
my locker. Haruka's really protective of me. Hehe, when I told
her that I wanted to come here, she disagrees immediately. It
took the others and me a few days to persuade her that I'll be
fine and Susan promised to move here with me too. Well, I guess
that's why I don't want to tell the girls. Because I'm afraid
that they'll leave me," Serena said the last sentence quietly.
"The girls aren't that kind of people. They won't leave
you, " Amy said.
"I know, but I'm just afraid," Serena said.
"Ok, well can you tell me why you told me?"
"I don't know. I guess it's because somehow I have a
feeling that the same thing had happened to you once. Having no
friends and being called a geek and other horrible names."
"Yeah, you're right. It had happened to me when I was
younger."
"Ok, enough of this depressing subjects. Let's pay more
attention to my class, it's about to start."
Amy sat down on a chair next to Serena and looked at the
screen. The screen shows a classroom with lots of college
students and a professor whose ready to teach. "Good morning
Dr. Peterson," Serena greeted in English. Dr. Peterson turns
towards the TV and smiled. "Morning Miss Lawrence," Dr.
Peterson said. Then she starts her lessons for the day.
After that class, Serena went into two more classes that
she had that morning. At about eleven, she had finished with
her classes. She turns around to see Amy amazing expression.
"So, I guess you liked it?" Serena asked.
"Yes, it was amazing!" Amy said. "How many classes are you
taking?"
"Um... About six classes. Then I have to be at the
hospital for training next week."
"Juuban Hospital?"
"Yep! I have my schedule right here." Serena pulled out
her schedule from a blue folder and handed it to Amy.
Amy gasped. "You'll be my mom's intern!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, see Dr. Anderson."
"Cool!"
Just then someone knocked on the door. Serena hurriedly turned
off her computer and hid the schedule, then told the person to
come on. The person stuck her head in.
"There you two are. We've been looking all over for you
two," Raye said.
"Oh!" The two said.
"What are you two doing here?" Lita asked as she stood
beside Raye.
"Oh! I was a wake earlier and I was looking for Amy. I
found her here reading a book," Serena said.
"I see, but why are you sitting at the desk?" Mina asked.
"Uh, Usagi was showing me this really cool game on the
computer," Amy said.
"Really? I want to see!" Mina said excitedly.
"Uh... How about we eat breakfast first? I'm starving!"
Serena said as she got up from her seat.
"Yeah, me too! I was too busy reading that I forgot to eat
breakfast," Amy said as she also gets up.
The others nodded and they all walked out of the room.
After they ate, the girls decided to do a little shopping.
So, they took a bus to the mall and spent hours looking at
clothes. In the end, each of them had at least four or more
shopping bags.
"All this shopping makes me hungry!" Mina exclaimed.
"My feet hurts!" Serena whined.
"Now I know why they say 'shop till you drop!'" Lita said.
They are sitting on a bench at the corner of the street waiting
for the bus.
"So, what do you all want to do now?" Raye asked.
"Anything that has to do with food," Mina reply.
"Yeah, I'm famished!" Amy said.
Just then the bus came and the girls boarded the bus.
"Let's go to the arcade," Lita said.
"Sounds good to me!" Serena said as she put her purse on
her lap.
"Ok, then arcade it is," Raye said.
While riding the bus, Serena looked through her purse,
trying to find her pills, but to no luck. She frantically
looked through it again, hoping that she didn't leave it at
home.
"What's wrong Usagi?" Amy asked when she was Serena's
worried look.
The girls heard this turns around to look at Serena.
"Is everything ok?" Raye asked.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah! Yeah, everything is fine," Serena said.
'Everything will be fine as soon as I fine my medicine!' Serena
said in her mind. Just then the bus pulled up to their stop.
They hurriedly got off and went in the arcade. "Hey Andrew!
Darien," Mina greeted.
"Hi girls!" Andrew greeted back.
The girls went to their booth and ordered their food. Then they
started talking about what they had bought and what they really
wanted to buy but couldn't.
"Um... I have to go call Susan. I'll be right back!"
Serena said as she shot up from her seat and quickly went
towards the bathroom.
"What's wrong with her?" Mina asked the others.
"I don't know, but something's fishy," Raye said.
"Yeah!" The others said.
"Hello Susan?" Serena asked.
"Serena? What's wrong?" Susan asked worriedly.
"Um... I left my pills at home. Can you get it for me and
bring it to the arcade?"
"Yeah, sure! I'll be there in ten minutes. Try to eat
something though."
"Ok, I will. Thanks! Bye!" (Click!)
Serena walks back to the booth and puts on a fake smile. When
she got there, her food had already arrived.
"Done?" Raye asked.
"Yeah, let's eat!" Serena said.
When Serena picked up her burger, her hands started to shake
furiously. She tries to ignore it and take a bite out of her
burger. But after one bite the burger dropped on her plate,
because her hands shook so much. The girls noticed this,
stopped eating and looked at Serena's hands.
"What's wrong?" Amy asked.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong," Serena said.
"Don't give me that crap! Your hands shaking Usa, what's
wrong?" Raye yelled.
"Yeah, tell us what's wrong," Lita said.
"Well, um..."

high school. I'm a junior at John Hopkins University. I came
here because I wanted to see how it's like to live as a normal
teen, instead of the genius that no one talks to. Susan isn't
my real sister and Usagi Carson isn't my real name. Susan is a
really close friend. She'd lived with me ever since my parents
died. My real name is Serena Lawrence and my real sister is
Haruka Lawrence. She's the shorthaired blonde that you saw in
the picture yesterday. The other people in it are also so close
friends, like Michiru Kaiou, she's the one with the aqua air.
Michi is Haruka's girlfriend. Then there's that little girl,
Heather Lawrence. She's my niece and she's also Michi, Haruka,
and Susan's daughter. We adopted Heather when I was eleven and
Heather was one."
Amy sat there speechless as she tries to take in the news.
"You're a junior at John Hopkins? One of the best medical
school? And you're also Serena Lawrence? One of the Lawrence
sisters whose the owner of the Lawrence's Inc.?"
"Yep, my sister and I own the place. I help her run it,
along with Susan and Michi. That's why I was busy the last
three days. I had to finish a project."
"Oh, so how can you attend your classes when you're here
and not in the states?"
"Oh! I can still attend the classes by getting online.
Matter of fact, I have classes in thirty minutes. If you want
you can stay and watch."
"Um... Sure! That'll be great."
Serena smiled and went to turn on her computer.
"Uh... Usagi?" Amy said.
"Yes?" Serena asked as she turns to look at Amy.
"Why did you tell me this and not the girls?"
Serena was silence for a while and Amy thought that Serena
wouldn't answer her question. "When I was younger, everyone
shun me just because my family was rich and I was smart. I had
managed to skip several grades. Then I ended up in high school
when I was nine. I didn't get to make any friends my age,
because I was in a school that didn't have anyone my age. And,
also because none of the kids my age liked me. They would tease
me and call me names. The only people that were my friends were
Haruka, Michiru, and Susan. They all went to the same high
school as I did and the only thing that was different was that
they were a few grades higher than I was. They were there when
the older kids would pick on me. I remember one time, Haruka
beat up this group of boys that was picking on me when I was at
my locker. Haruka's really protective of me. Hehe, when I told
her that I wanted to come here, she disagrees immediately. It
took the others and me a few days to persuade her that I'll be
fine and Susan promised to move here with me too. Well, I guess
that's why I don't want to tell the girls. Because I'm afraid
that they'll leave me," Serena said the last sentence quietly.
"The girls aren't that kind of people. They won't leave
you, " Amy said.
"I know, but I'm just afraid," Serena said.
"Ok, well can you tell me why you told me?"
"I don't know. I guess it's because somehow I have a
feeling that the same thing had happened to you once. Having no
friends and being called a geek and other horrible names."
"Yeah, you're right. It had happened to me when I was
younger."
"Ok, enough of this depressing subjects. Let's pay more
attention to my class, it's about to start."
Amy sat down on a chair next to Serena and looked at the
screen. The screen shows a classroom with lots of college
students and a professor whose ready to teach. "Good morning
Dr. Peterson," Serena greeted in English. Dr. Peterson turns
towards the TV and smiled. "Morning Miss Lawrence," Dr.
Peterson said. Then she starts her lessons for the day.
After that class, Serena went into two more classes that
she had that morning. At about eleven, she had finished with
her classes. She turns around to see Amy amazing expression.
"So, I guess you liked it?" Serena asked.
"Yes, it was amazing!" Amy said. "How many classes are you
taking?"
"Um... About six classes. Then I have to be at the
hospital for training next week."
"Juuban Hospital?"
"Yep! I have my schedule right here." Serena pulled out
her schedule from a blue folder and handed it to Amy.
Amy gasped. "You'll be my mom's intern!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, see Dr. Anderson."
"Cool!"
Just then someone knocked on the door. Serena hurriedly turned
off her computer and hid the schedule, then told the person to
come on. The person stuck her head in.
"There you two are. We've been looking all over for you
two," Raye said.
"Oh!" The two said.
"What are you two doing here?" Lita asked as she stood
beside Raye.
"Oh! I was a wake earlier and I was looking for Amy. I
found her here reading a book," Serena said.
"I see, but why are you sitting at the desk?" Mina asked.
"Uh, Usagi was showing me this really cool game on the
computer," Amy said.
"Really? I want to see!" Mina said excitedly.
"Uh... How about we eat breakfast first? I'm starving!"
Serena said as she got up from her seat.
"Yeah, me too! I was too busy reading that I forgot to eat
breakfast," Amy said as she also gets up.
The others nodded and they all walked out of the room.
After they ate, the girls decided to do a little shopping.
So, they took a bus to the mall and spent hours looking at
clothes. In the end, each of them had at least four or more
shopping bags.
"All this shopping makes me hungry!" Mina exclaimed.
"My feet hurts!" Serena whined.
"Now I know why they say 'shop till you drop!'" Lita said.
They are sitting on a bench at the corner of the street waiting
for the bus.
"So, what do you all want to do now?" Raye asked.
"Anything that has to do with food," Mina reply.
"Yeah, I'm famished!" Amy said.
Just then the bus came and the girls boarded the bus.
"Let's go to the arcade," Lita said.
"Sounds good to me!" Serena said as she put her purse on
her lap.
"Ok, then arcade it is," Raye said.
While riding the bus, Serena looked through her purse,
trying to find her pills, but to no luck. She frantically
looked through it again, hoping that she didn't leave it at
home.
"What's wrong Usagi?" Amy asked when she was Serena's
worried look.
The girls heard this turns around to look at Serena.
"Is everything ok?" Raye asked.
"Huh? Oh! Yeah! Yeah, everything is fine," Serena said.
'Everything will be fine as soon as I fine my medicine!' Serena
said in her mind. Just then the bus pulled up to their stop.
They hurriedly got off and went in the arcade. "Hey Andrew!
Darien," Mina greeted.
"Hi girls!" Andrew greeted back.
The girls went to their booth and ordered their food. Then they
started talking about what they had bought and what they really
wanted to buy but couldn't.
"Um... I have to go call Susan. I'll be right back!"
Serena said as she shot up from her seat and quickly went
towards the bathroom.
"What's wrong with her?" Mina asked the others.
"I don't know, but something's fishy," Raye said.
"Yeah!" The others said.
"Hello Susan?" Serena asked.
"Serena? What's wrong?" Susan asked worriedly.
"Um... I left my pills at home. Can you get it for me and
bring it to the arcade?"
"Yeah, sure! I'll be there in ten minutes. Try to eat
something though."
"Ok, I will. Thanks! Bye!" (Click!)
Serena walks back to the booth and puts on a fake smile. When
she got there, her food had already arrived.
"Done?" Raye asked.
"Yeah, let's eat!" Serena said.
When Serena picked up her burger, her hands started to shake
furiously. She tries to ignore it and take a bite out of her
burger. But after one bite the burger dropped on her plate,
because her hands shook so much. The girls noticed this,
stopped eating and looked at Serena's hands.
"What's wrong?" Amy asked.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong," Serena said.
"Don't give me that crap! Your hands shaking Usa, what's
wrong?" Raye yelled.
"Yeah, tell us what's wrong," Lita said.
"Well, um..."
