It so sad!
Summary: Serena and her four friends are the school's ugly ducklings. The wall
gets more attention than they do. Serena decides to ask the schools number one
play boy, Darien Shields on a date. Only to be cruelly rejected and laughed at.
She and her friends are tired of being stomped on. It's time for a change. This
time the playas are going to be played.
Author's Note: Special thanks to everyone who reviewed. I'm glad you guys like
it. I also want to say thank you to Immortal Angel. I'll make sure to pay careful
attention to adding to much detail. And just to let you guys know, I did the fic in dialogue form, because I wasn't to sure
how to do it the other way. But if you want for the next chapter I won't do it
in dialogue form, and then you can tell me which you prefer. Thanks again for
all the reviews. And now, on with the fic.
At Serena's house
Serena: Mom! I'm home, and I brought my friends with me.
Irene: Hi sweetie. How was your day at school?
Serena: It was great!
Irene: That's good. Well I'm glad you brought your friends over. I have a
surprise for you.
Serena: Really, what?
Irene: Your cousin Christina is going to be living with us. Ever since her parents
passed away she's been moving from one family to the next. So I decided it
would be best that she have a permanent home, with us. So I hope you and your
friends will help her feel right at home. It's a big change for her. She's lived
her entire life in New York City.
So I want you and your friends to make
her feel welcome, seeing as she'll be starting school with you guys on Monday.
Serena: Seriously?
Irene: Yes.
Serena: Where is she now?
Irene: She's upstairs sleeping. She's still getting used to the time difference.
Christina: No I'm not. I'm right here. She said as she descended the stairs.
Irene: Did you sleep well?
Christina: Yeah it was really comfortable. Serena I haven't seen you since we were
5. You certainly have changed. How have you been? She said as she hugged her
cousin.
Serena: I've been good and yourself.
Christina: OK I guess.
Serena: Let me introduce you to my best friends. This is Rei, Lita, Mina, and Amy.
Christina: Nice to meet you all.
Rei, Lita, Mina, Amy: Nice to meet you too.
Irene: Well I'll leave you ladies getting to know one another.
Mina: So, Christina. How was life in New York?
Christina: It was great! I loved the city. I actually grew up in Brooklyn.
But my high school was in the city. I loved to go shopping, or see a Broadway show,
but my favorite was to go clubbing. I love dancing.
Rei: Wow seems like fun. You must really miss it.
Christina: I do. But most of all I miss my friends.
Amy: Well, we'll be your friends.
Lita: Yeah, and we'll show you around.
Christina: Thanks. That's really nice of you.
Serena: You know you don't have to pretend to like us. Even if we are related.
You can tell us the truth. I mean we're completely different. You've got the dark
hair, blue eyes, and a body to kill for. You'll become instantly popular. Where
as we're at the bottom of the food chain. I mean the janitor's more popular
than we are. Being friends with us will only cause you problems.
Christina: I'm sorry to hear that. It seems like high school has been a living
hell for all of you. But you're wrong. I'm not pretending,
I really do like all of you. You seem like really good friends. I'm not one of
those girls who thinks she's better than everyone else
just because she has a pretty face. Here, I'll prove it to you. This is a
picture of me and my best friends.
The picture revealed 4 girls who were dressed very much like Serena and her friends.
Lita: You look so happy.
Mina: You really didn't care that they dressed and looked like that.
Christina: Of coarse not. They were the best friends I could ask for. Whenever
I was down, they would cheer me up, and vice versa. They were right with me when
I heard the news of my parents' death. They helped me recover, and I
wouldn't trade them for all the money in the world.
Amy: I'm sorry to hear about your parents.
Christina: It's alright. I've been adjusting to the changes little by little.
Amy: How did you become friends with them?
Christina: Well it started when I changed from going to an all girl's high school
to a public high school. I entered the school two weeks late. The first people
to befriend me weren't my best friends. It was actually the popular crowd. And
I thought they were good friends, till I caught them picking on those girls in
the picture. I got really upset. And I stood up for them, which ended up making
things worse for me. They were all like "How could you stand up for those
geeks? Which is it, us or them?" And I was faced with a choice. Continue
to be part of the popular crowd, be admired by everyone, and join in on their ridiculing
of people who were different from them. Or choose these girls who I didn't know
from a whole in the wall, and give up my popularity. I decided
that it was better to be friends with people who look different, but are truly nice,
than with people who are very pretty and popular and would probably end up
stabbing me in the back. So I chose them. My ex-friends swore they would
make my life a living hell. And they tried, but I don't take crap from anyone. That
was the best choice I ever made. Those girls ended up being the best thing that
ever happened to me. After a while they started standing up for themselves.
When they were pushed, they pushed back. We all ended up getting into a huge
fight with the popular crowd. One of the popular girls called my friend an ugly
bitch, and said her mother was a whore. Next thing you know my friend Jasmin punched Destiny right in the face. And when Destiny's
friends jumped in my friends and I jumped in as well. We ended up with black
eyes and bloody lips, but they ended up with broken noses, black eyes, bloody
lips, and swollen faces. After that they never tried to start a fight with me
or my friends again. Though we did get the occasional sneer, or crude remark.
Serena: Wow. You stood up for girls that you didn't even know.
Christina: Yup. Now tell me what's really up? And I mean all of you. Don't give
me that crap that everything's fine, because I can tell it's not.
Serena: Well let's just say, that my friends and I have been picked on, and laughed
at for the way we look and dress. It seems we're just like you're best friends,
only worse.
Christina: But you're all beautiful girls.
Mina: Yeah right. You don't have to lie. We can take the truth. We know we're hideous
beasts.
Christina: Starts laughing. You are not hideous beasts, and whoever thinks so is
an idiot. Sure your clothes are different, and your hair isn't done in the nicest
style. But other than that you're gorgeous.
Amy: You think so?
Christina: I know so. But I don't think you should change the way you dress, just
to fit in. I mean if you're comfortable like that, you shouldn't care what
other people think. And you shouldn't take any shit from anyone. I'm not
telling you to beat up every person who says something bad about you. But you
shouldn't have to take that kind of verbal abuse.
Serena: Thanks Christina. We really needed to hear that.
Rei: Yeah thanks.
Christina: No prob, I only speak the truth.
Serena: Then maybe you can help us. You see there are these girls in our
school, who just love to make our lives miserable. And today I tried to ask out
this
guy named Darien, only he laughed
in my face. And to make it worst his friend
and those girls all surrounded me and completely tore me apart. Of coarse my
friends stepped in but they were ridiculed as well.
Christina: Those bastards. Who the fuck do they think they are?
Rei: Exactly.
Christina: So what's your plan?
Lita: Yeah Serena. What is this grand plan of yours?
Serena: Well I was thinking we change our entire looks, and lead the guys on. And
just when they think they're gonna get some. We dump them. And show them how it
feels to be rejected.
Mina: I like your plan.
Lita: Yeah sounds interesting.
Serena: It's time for us to step up our game. So, will you help?
Christina: Of course! What a way to start the school year. This is going to be
great.
Mina: Really! You'll help us, alright!
Rei: Those fools ain't gonna know what hit them.
Amy: What about Beryl, and her lackeys?
Christina: Who?
Serena: Those girls that are always up in our faces.
Christina: Oh. What about them?
Amy: Well the guys we're going after are their girlfriends.
Rei: No they're not! They're just on and off flings.
Amy: Well they're still the prettiest girls in the school. The probability
that the guys will go out with us when they have them is very slim, even after
the makeover.
Christina: That's not true. Just watch. Once we update your looks they'll be
all over you. And as for those girls, they'll never know what hit them. But
first things first. We have to go to the mall, get you guys new clothes, and
style your hair.
Serena: Alright it's a plan.
Christina: Aunt Irene!
Irene: Yes hun. She yelled from the kitchen.
Christina: Is it alright if the girls show me around the mall?
Irene: Sure, just be back by 10.
Christina: Don't worry, we'll be back way before then. Alright it's settled,
let's hit the mall!
At the Mall
Christina: Wow this mall is huge! Who knew Japan
had such great stuff.
Serena: Well it's a small country compared to the U.S.
but it's nice.
Christina: Alright how about we try that store. Oh my shoe laces are untied. You
guys go ahead. I'll meet you inside.
Rei: Alright, see ya inside.
As the girls start walking toward the store, trouble greets them.
Nehelenia: Well, well, well. If it isn't Serena and the rest of her homeless friends.
Emerald: What are you doing here?
Serena: Shopping, same as you.
Beryl: I'm sorry you must be mistaken. This is where normal people shop at. The
freaks store is around the corner.
Christina: You would know.
Beryl: Who said that?
Christina: I did. She said stepping from behind Serena.
Jessica: And you are?
Christina: Serena's cousin, Christina.
Beryl: Well I don't know what your freak of a cousin told you, but around here
we make the rules. You'd do good to remember that.
Christina: And you'd do good to get out of my face, before I break it.
Beryl: Is that a threat?
Christina: It's a promise. Come on girls, these sluts are just wasting our time.
And with that she pushed Beryl out of the way and entered the store.
Beryl: She's gonna wish she never did that.
Tiffany: How can she be related to Serena?
Jessica: She's so pretty, while Serena's just plain ugly.
Nehelenia: Who cares! She just dissed us.
Emerald: We'll show her what it means to respect!
Inside the store.
Serena: That was so cool Christina!
Mina: I can't believe you just did that.
Amy: You were so suave.
Lita: Where did you learn to come up with such smart remarks, so quickly?
Christina: I dunno. It just comes to me. You guys seriously need a lesson in how
to defend yourselves. But first, we go shopping.
Mina: Great! I can't wait to get some new clothes.
Author's Note: That's the end of chapter 2. Next chapter the girls receive new
styles, and new attitudes.
