Author's Note: Hey! Thank you sooooo much for reviewing! ^_^ I don't think this chapter is very good! It's pretty short too. Sorry, but I'm a little busy with school. I might not be able to post new chapters quickly. I hope you'll keep reading though! Ugh . . . I hate school. Hehe . . . but that's enough about me! Here's the next chapter!

Chapter 2: What Friends are for

"So.Serena! Amy told us you met a really hot guy today!" Lita snickered. "What did he look like? Did you fall all over yourself?"

"Ooh! What hot guy? Where?" Mina asked inquisitively as she sat down next to Lita on the couch. "How come I didn't meet him? C'mon Serena! Spill!"

"No." replied Serena obstinately. "I didn't fall over myself completely."

"Yes you did!" Amy cried. "She was her usual tongue-tied self."

"Meatball head! You are such a loser! When will you learn?" sighed Raye.

"Hey you guys! Stop hassling me!" Serena moaned, recalling the events that had taken place earlier that day. "You guys are so supportive. How could I survive without you?"

"What are friends for?" Raye replied scathingly. They all giggled and shrugged. The 5 friends were all gathered at Amy's house, seated on the couch in her living room, talking about everything and anything before the new school year began.

"So tell us what happened!"

"Well, it all started when . . ." Amy began. Serena groaned into a nearby pillow. Not at all eager to hear Amy's version of the afternoon's events, Serena waved goodbye to her friends, who were listening avidly to Amy's every word. She burst out of the house and began to walk home; her path lit up by the setting sun.

She kicked up the golden leaves on the pathway in frustration. She adored her friends, but couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy towards each one of them.

Lita was the strong, charismatic one with chocolate brown hair and vibrant, evergreen eyes. Amy was the smartest, kindest person Serena had ever met, while Raye was the stubborn, rebellious temple girl with raven colored hair and bright eyes filled with purple flecks. Mina, on the other hand, was assertive, confident, and gorgeous. So what was she?

What was wrong with her? Serena's eyes welled up, as she thought of how pathetic she looked compared to her friends.

Tired, she plodded over to a nearby bench and sat down. She yawned and stretched out her arms lazily. Glancing down at her watch, she decided to rest. It's only 5:00, she thought. I can get home before curfew. Serena lifted her legs up onto the bench and hugged them, gently rocking back and forth as she watched the sun dip under the horizon.

Rubbing her eyes sleepily, she looked around, surprised at how dark it was. The streetlights flickered and emitted a soft white light over the street. Springing up from the wooden bench, she gazed at her watch, in awe of how much time had passed. "Ahhh!" she screamed. "It's 8:20 already?"

She began to break into a run, headed all the way across town. I have to get home before 8:30, she thought. Or Mom is going to kill me!

She was so caught up in her race home, that she had become oblivious to everything around her, including a quickly approaching figure.

"Hey! Watch it!" the man yelled, unable to stop.

It was too late. They collided on the street and were both knocked to the ground. Not again, she thought. What is with today? Is the world against me? Pounding the ground with her fist, she grunted with frustration. When she had regained her composure, she looked up to see who had suddenly stumbled across her path.

Uh oh, she gasped. It's him.
