Chapter 1 : Planning A Day Out
On this particular Saturday morning, I had a sudden urge to do something. I usually distanced myself from the world, but today was different. Today, I had the need to live life, time to have fun. I didn't know what, but I had to think of anything that would remove myself of this sudden urge. By the time it was 11:26am, I still hadn't thought of anything. I laid on my bed wondering just what to do for the day. ::BLING:: Lightbulb turns on The idea was perfect. So I called up my friends for a day out.
'RING.......RING.......RING.......RING.......'
'I guess no ones home' I thought to myself. As soon as I was about to hang up, someone picked up.
"Hello?"
"Ami-chan! Hey its me, Serena!"
"Oh. Hey Serena! What's up?"
"Well, I was wondering if us girls could spend the day out doing girl stuff. I mean if you're not too busy with work and all." I said, hoping she wouldn't decline because I really needed to see someone.
"No, I-" Ami started to reply, but I cut her off.
"Oh please Ami-chan, you have to go... it won't be fun without you!" I begged through the phone.
"Sere..." ::giggles:: "you're so funny!"
"What?" I asked.
"You never let me finish my sentences." Ami said, still giggling.
"Oh." I said kind of embarassed.
"I was going to say that I'm not busy right now..." Ami said, calming down. "And it would be fun to get out of my house for a while, since my parents aren't home." Ami finished off.
"Great! Now I have to call Raye and let her know." I said happier than usual, and I didn't know why.
"OK"
"Can you do me a favor, Ami-chan?"
"What is it?"
"Can you call Mina and Lita for me while I talk to Raye?" I asked, regretting I even asked.
'The talk with Raye is going to be a long one, I know that for sure.' I thought to myself.
"Sure Sere. I'll stop by your house with the girls."
"That'll be great. Bye Ami and thanks!" I cofirmed.
"JAA NE!"
- - - - -
I knew it was gonna take long to convince Raye on my plans so I prepared myself with anything that would come across during our conversation. To my surprise, I didn't have to try at all!
"REALLY?!!" I shouted in to the phone, my exitement quite obvious.
"Yes really... and don't shout into the phone, it hurts my ear everytime you do." Raye replied, sounding unamused with the activities to come.
"It's just a suprise that you w-" I started, but was cut off.
"I'm just bored and don't have anyhting to do, so why not." Raye said still unamused.
"Hmm...So at what time you're gonna be here?"
As in imitation Raye questiones me"'Hmm' what? You don't believe me...or you don't want me to come?"
"No way Raye! Why would you think that? I'm just shocked that you would like these kind of things...unless there's something you're not telling me."
"No...n..no..nothing...there's nothing to hide from you Serena. Is it so wrong to hang out with the bestest friends I have in the whole world?" ::Raye sounded nervous through the phone::(-.-')
'Hmm...there's definately something that she's hiding from me..but what can it be?' "Look Raye, don't stress it..I know there's something you're hiding, but you don't have to tell me...YET. Right now, I just want to know at approximately what time is it that you're gonna come over." Yeah right! I definately wanted to know what was going on, but right now it would have been too much pressure on her..so I decided to wait.
"Maybe around...12:15?"
"Yeah sure. Just get here...and don't be late!"
"You know I'm never late Sere, but if it makes you feel better...I won't be late, scouts' honor!"
"Scouts' Honor?" I said, thinking out loud. "Raye...you were never a scout in the first place."
"I know!! But doesn't it sound good!?" ::Raye giggles::
"Hahahahahaha...yeah Raye," ::laughing like a hyena:: "hahahaha..." I clutched my sides trying to stop laughing at the ditz-sounding Raye. Raye was definately imitating Mina; the sound of a typical cheerleader. It was hilarious..well, at least it was to Raye and me. "hmmmm..hahahaha" My sudden laughing spree was slowly coming to an end as I tried to finish my initial response. "So you'll be here no later than 12:15, right?"
"Yeah...definately!"
"OK..so I'll see you. Bye!"
"Hm..bye!"

After my little chat with Raye, I went and took a warm shower. Luckily I had my own bathroom and didn't have to share with anyone in the house, 'it pays to be the oldest sometimes'.
You would've thought if I came up with the plan to go out, I would've known what it was that I wanted to wear, but it was all on the contrary. I looked all over...in my cabinet, my dresser drawer, my walk-in closet...but nothing. I had nothing to wear!! Since it was hot, I eventually pulled out something. I pulled out a pair of navy blue short-shorts, a red crew-neck tank top with no sleeves with the word 'FREEDOM' across the chest, and a white button down three quarter sleeve see-through blouse that is worn open over my tank top, giving it a sexy and out going look. For shoes I wore my white/red Gravis Tarmac sneakers that matched my tank top and blouse. Under it all was a pink bikini with white flower designs all over.
I had to make sure that my mom wouldn't worry while I was out, so I asked if I could go out with my friends... and ofcourse she said yes. My mom was watching television and I decided to lay down besides my mother.
"Honey, do you have money?"
"Yeah mom. You'd expect me to plan something without money?"
"Knowing you... yes. How much do you have?"
"Umm... about fifty dollars."
"You won't be able to do or buy anything with that amount. Here..." My mom started searching in her purse, "An extra hundred dollars honey... have fun." I know, I know, my mom can be very, very generous.
A little guilty, I refused to receive the money, but my mom either way forced me to take it. "Thanks mom! I'll pay you back... someday."
"Trust me honey... you won't." My mom said that as though I've done it before to her and started to laugh. I laughed a little and got hungry.
"Mom, is there anything to eat in this house?"
"Hun, you have eyes, a brain, hands, and legs... why don't you get off your ass, go to the kitchen, and make yourself something... I'm not your slave."
"I know, but I don't want to get up." I pouted trying to convince her, but she didn't budge.
"You have to get up sometime or another."
"Ugh... you're no fun." I lazily got up and walked into the kitchen.
There was plenty of stuff to make, but I made my favorite and I wasn't planning on making everyone else some. The end result was scrambled eggs with some salt and fresh pepper and melted cheese on top, three pieces of bacon, two slices of potato bread, two waffles, and a glass of orange juice. I was stuffed, but hey I can eat like that because I don't gain weight. What's the point of eating healthy anyways? We all die someday... is that not true? So anyways, after I finished my luxurious meal, I went up to my room and blasted M-Flo's & Yamamoto Ryohei's track "Miss You" as I brushed my hair.
Today I wasn't in the mood of putting my hair up in it's usual odango's, so I just put it up in a regular and boring ponytail, but to my surprise I looked much better. Not too innocent and not too sexy, just perfect compared to other times. My bangs hung over just a little over my eyes. I made some finshing touches to my hair such as glittery hair pins that were placed near the start of my ponytail to prevent stray hairs from coming down to my face. The next track on my CD started playing Faye Wong's "If You Are False" and I put a hint of makeup on my face, barely visible. A peachy pink lip gloss and a hint of peachy eye shadow, very light.

The girls had arrived at my house at around twelve thirty. I was upset, but couldn't complain. It was already a quarter to one and I was the only one that wasn't ready.
"Ugh!" I was pacing all around the house looking for my back pack and wallet. "Where the hell is it?!"
"Honey... calm down." My mom tried to say calmly, but came out as a command.
Ami stood in front of me and put her hands on my shoulders and stared me into my eyes, "Serena... you have to calm down and think. What exactly are you looking for?" I just shrugged it off and decided to tell them.
"Can you guys please help me? I can't find my back pack nor my wallet. And I can't leave without them!"
"Sure," Lita said quizically as she looked around. "Just tell us what you did, and where were you when you did it." From the corner of my eye I could see that Raye was actually making an effort to look for my stuff. She was looking under the sofa, the recliner, and the love seat. She even lifted up the cushions. 'Hmm... why exactly does she even want to do girl stuff? None-the-less in a hurry to go out? Whatever it is, I'm gonna find out.'
Coming back to reality, I stared at Ami and turned my back to face Lita. "Umm... well, I was upstai-" I began trying to recap what it was that happened, but Raye interupted.
::cough:: "Sere?" ::cough:: Raye asked as she interupted me. Raye tried to sound polite and acted as though she didn't want to interupt me.
"What?" I asked immediately.
"Umm... are these the items you were looking for?" Raye lifted up her hands to show me what it was she found and she looked upset.
I saw my black-leather back pack and my pink Hello Kitty wallet. "OMG! Yes those are!" I practically jumped at Raye for my things. "Where'd you find 'em?"
A little irritated she answered me back. "All this time you were pacing back and forth for your stuff... and yet, THEY WERE RIGHT HERE!!" Raye yelled at me pointing towards the sofa with all the cushions on the floor.
"I'M SORRY OK?! I FORGOT... THERE'S NO REASON TO GET ALL MAD ABOUT IT!" I yelled back. I was in no mood to let her yell at me without my say in anything.
"YES THERE IS! WE COULD'VE BEEN GONE A LO-"
"Girls!! GIRLS!!" I heard my mom somewhat speak loudly interrupting us, but kept on going with our bickering.
"SO WHAT?! YOU SAY IT LIKE WE HA-"
"BE QUUIIIEEEETTTT!!!" My mom yelled at the top of her lungs making both of us shut up and stare at her with fear. She had never yelled at us before, not like that anyways. "Listen, there's no reason to act like this. You're acting like wild animals! Raye... I'm shocked that you'd act like this over my daughters' mistake, you should know her better than that. And you Serena... I'm shocked that you'd backfire the way you did. You guys are practically sisters!"
"I'm sorry Mrs. Starr. I didn't mean to, I was just a little irritated and needed to let it all out."
"Yeah... I'm sorry mom... sorry Raye." I really wasn't in the mood to argue about how who was supposed to say sorry first, so I just let it out. If I hadn't done that, we would've gotten into another arguement about it.
"Just stop acting like this... you guys were so close."
"And we still are mom... we just haven't talked in a while. It's fine mom, promise. Right Raye?" I asked hoping she wouldn't betray me.
"Ofcourse, do you even have to ask?" Raye said with a smile on her face, but I knew she was just covering for both of our asses. We both wanted to get out, if Raye would've said otherwise, this whole little trip wouldn't have happened. Raye knew that... I knew that.
"OK! So let's go. We're wasting time as it is!" Mina piped up.
"Yeah! Bye Ms. Starr!" Lita said and waved back as she walked out the door to turn on her car.
"OK, BYE LITA!"
"Bye, Ms. Starr!" Mina, Raye, and Ami said as they pulled me out the door.
"BYE GIRLS!" My mom laughed as they pulled me out the house grabbing my back pack, my sunglasses, and my wallet.
"BYE MOM!"
"BYE HONEY! HAVE FUN!"
"HEY, MS. STARR... WE'LL HAVE HER BACK A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT, OK?!" Mina said trying to give us some extra outdoor time.
"THAT'S FINE WITH ME... NOW HURRY AND LEAVE ALREADY!"
Lita then drove off and we were all waving back at my mom who was standing at the door waving back. I saw people staring at us in the car as if we were weird or something yelling back and forth to my mothers' house. I just laughed and stared back. I was glad that I was free and had nearly all the time in the world to do whatever and buy whatever. The only obstacle was that we hadn't decided where we wanted to go.
Lita had a forest green BMW Z3 Roadster convertible with chrome spinner rims. It suited her and was the best car I've seen, considering the fact that I don't have one. It had black tinted windows that faded to green. Lita's car was, and still is, as silent as night... it made no freakishly annoying noises like other cars. I love Lita! She has great style when it comes to cars.
In the car, Ami sat in the back passenger seat to my left, I sat in the middle passenger seat, and Mina sat on the passenger seat to my right. Raye sat on the front-passenger seat, while Lita drove around.
