I'm going to continue this fanfic 'til it's completed. I hope everyone's still interested in this story. When I put in my thoughts, it'll be in parenthesis.
Disclaimer: I don't own Sailormoon or any related characters. I only own the other characters that I put in this story.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Today is the first day of school for Serena and the group. Their classes are as follows: math, recess, science, foreign languages, lunch, grammar, history, P.E., and finally the end of school (I put the subjects in that order because that's the order of my classes). Everyone has the same classes together and Serena walks home everyday after school with the group.
Today there were new people at her school. Their names were introduced at the beginning of each class so all the teachers will know their names. Their names are Katrina, Hiromi, Heather, Jasmine, Erica, Latterly, and Jessilyn (I used these names because they are people on my basketball team). They always chose to sit at the back of the class and when the teacher wasn't looking, they would always talk about something.
Today started as a normal day for Serena, but at her science class it was announced that the track team coach quit her job so there would be a new coach taking her place. During lunchtime, she heard rumors about the new coach and how he would look like. She heard Latterly talking about dark hair and eyes, Erica talking about tall and handsome, and Jessilyn talking about green jacket and college. At this point, Serena tried to put an image to her mind. What she saw terrified her because it was Darien. The whole day all she thought about was a simple phrase 'Why Darien'.
At the end of the day was the track team tryout. She was five minutes late for the tryouts so she didn't have any time to stretch. She saw many people there, but there was one group of people that caught her attention the most. The group consisted of seven people. All seven of them looked like they already knew each other very well. She remembered them. They were the group that always sits in the back of the classroom and whenever possible would talk about stuff.
The calling of her name cut off her attention. She turned around and saw Mina and the group waving at her and asking her what she was doing here. She walked up to them and told them that she was here to tryout for the track team. Then the most hurtful thing happened, Ray started saying, "Why are you trying out? You know you won't make it. This is the track team we're talking about not some walking contest. Oh wait, you can't even walk anyways besides we all know what will happen. You'll fall on your face." Serena paid no attention to her and just started walking away to the other people who's trying out also.
She talked a little to them and found out that their names are Lisa and Rebecca. Then she turned around and saw Mina and Lita pulling Ray over to the stands to watch the tryouts while Amy was reading a book she got from the library. She stared at Mina and Lita pulling Ray. Her staring was cut off by a familiar voice. She heard the voice say, "Hey Meatball Head." Then she turned around and saw Darien. Before Serena could say anything, Darien started to introduce himself. He said, "Hello everyone. You can call me Coach Darien or just Darien." As he introduced himself, Serena noticed that all the girls' eyes were staring directly at him and that most of their mouths were falling open. When his introduction was finished, he told them all to get acquainted. When they were finished, he told them to get ready to run.
He started to call out names in an order and said that this is the order for everyone to tryout. Then he called Latterly up to start followed by everyone else. Latterly ran and made it back in 5.5 minutes, Erica at 5.5 minutes also, Lisa at 6.8 minutes, Heather at 5.3 minutes, Jessilyn at 5.4 minutes, Rebecca at 7.1 minutes, Hiromi at 5 minutes, Katrina at 5.2 minutes, Jasmine at 5.8 minutes, and Serena at 6.8 minutes. Darien said that they all did well, but sadly he could only accept eight people to be on the track team. Everyone knew who the eight would be. They would be Latterly, Erica, Hiromi, Katrina, Jasmine, Jessilyn, Heather, and either Lisa or her. She felt upset because she was at the borderline of making it or maybe not.
Darien looked over the results and said that Lisa and her would have to have a 'run off 'to determine who made the team. They will have the 'run off' tomorrow after school at the same time and the same place. He excused them all and congratulated the people who made the team. Then Serena ran to tell her friends that she actually had a chance to make it on the team. All her friends were exited for her except for Ray because she wanted to prove her point that Serena couldn't make the team. Everyone decided to celebrate by buying her an ice cream sundae for her hard work, but Serena declined the offer and said that she needed some rest. Then they walked her home like they would usually do.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The next day at school *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Every class went by as usual except for history because she knew that her 'run off' would come up right after this class. As soon as the bell rang, she walked out of her class as usual except this time she was trying to hurry because she knew that if she were late, the spot would go to Lisa. This time she made it on time and she started stretching. When Lisa came she stretched too and they waited for their coach to arrive.
Ten minutes later he arrived and then the 'run off' started. He asked each of them to pick a lane. Lisa picked lane1 and Serena picked lane 2. When he blew his whistle, they started running. Lisa was ahead in the beginning, but later Serena caught up and won. She was so happy that she made it on the team.
After Darien congratulated her, she heard her name and turned around. She saw Mina, Lita, and Amy running towards her. When she told them that she made it on the team, they started to hug her and congratulate her. Then Mina asked, "Now do you want some ice cream?" Then Serena said yes and also asked if Lisa would like to go too. Lisa said yes and they were off.
*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The next next day at school *+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
All the classes went by as usual and she didn't feel worried in history anymore. Today she didn't need to hurry up but still needed to make it on time for track practices. When it was time for her to go to track practice, she was ten minutes late. When she arrived there, she stretched as much as she can and started warming up like everyone else.
As usual the 'track star group', as she would call them, would always talk about the latest gossip and the latest fashion accessories available in stores. They would even talk about people, sports, and music. Sometimes she would hear them talking about her. They would say I can't believe Serena made the track team, I heard that even her friends think that she couldn't make it, and She better not hang around us. Most of their rude talk about her would mostly come from Latterly, the music talk from Katrina, the latest gossip from Erica, the latest fashion accessories from Jessilyn, the people talk from Hiromi, and the sport talk from Heather.
When Darien saw them talking to each other he said, "I guess you all have met your new teammates." Then the answered in unison, "Yes we have." After they answered, he started to go through the general rules and regulations. Then he ended by saying, "Most importantly have fun and make new friends." Then we started running our first laps as the new track team.
