A Dream Come True

Chapter 5

By: Serenity Darkness

I woke up early Monday morning, long before my alarm went off. That was still something it took my dad a while to get used to. So of course I was in and out o the shower before he even woke up. I went downstairs and started to make myself breakfast. Before mom died, I couldn't cook to save my life but thanks to Lita, I learned how to cook and became pretty good. I had some eggs and toast, some easy stuff. While I was eating I could hear dad coming down stairs. "Morning Princess" he said and I smiled "morning daddy." I responded as I took a sip form my glass of milk. "Did you sleep well?" I asked him and he nodded "I slept like a baby… Oh, now that I remember, there was a phone call for you last night. Something about setting up time for a photo shoot." Dad said and I smiled "Thanks dad, did they leave a number?" I asked him, he nodded "Yeah it's over by the fridge." He said and I picked up the number.

By the time I got the number it was already 7am. "Alright dad, I'm off." I called out as I walked out the door after putting my shoes on. While I walked down the street to school I called up the studio. "Hello, Starlight's Recording, how can I direct your call?" I heard a female voice answer, "Hi, I need to speak with Mr. Seyia Kou." I said as I walked down the street and into the school "May I ask who's calling?" The lady asked again. "Miss Mystic." I said into the phone. "Please hold." She said and I was put on hold. "Hey Serena!" I heard my friends say as they saw me I waved and smiled. "Hey guys, give me a moment I gotta set up my schedule." I said and they all nodded knowing what I was talking about. "Ah good morning Miss Mystic, I see you got my message." Seyia said as I was taken off of hold and I sat down. "Yes sir I did." I said as I got out some paper from my backpack, I was going to need a planner soon to keep track of everything. "What days do you have free?" he asked me as we got down to business "Well I've got Monday – Friday after 3pm free." I said into the phone.

Some of my classmates were walking through as the girls talked and waited for me to finish up. "How about this Thursday after school is over then?" Seyia asked me and I started writing it down. "That sounds great. Say about 3:30pm?" I asked again just to make sure I had time between the end of school and changing clothes to get there on time. "3:30pm sounds great. We'll meet at the studio." He said and I continued writing this down "Of course. I need the studio's address." I said into the phone waiting for that bit of information. "That's right, it's 1 Starlight Lane." He said and I wrote that down. "Alright, see you then." I said. "Alright" he said as we both hung up. "So what was that all about?" Rei asked me as I put my cell back on its clip. "That was the studio, I needed to set up a time for my first photo shoot." I said and the girls all giggled and smiled, they were the first to know about the deal anyway.

We spoke about what I was going to wear to the shoot on Thursday, when the bell rang. We got up and continued walking towards class laughing happily about everything. We all walked into class and straight towards our seats still laughing and smiling. I had a feeling the day was going to be a nice one, no one at school other than the girls knew about the contract and that was the way I wanted it to stay, at least until after the photo shoot. "Good morning students and staff, again I'd like to thank those of you who came to the talent show on Friday night, and for those of you who didn't make it I would like to announce the winners of Fridays competition." The schools president began over the PA system. "In third place we had Miss Sierra Grande, she won first place in the instrumentals category. In second place was Robbie Tate and the dancing dolls, they one first place in the dance competition." I wasn't paying much attention to the announcements as those who didn't attend were wondering who could have beaten out such a popular group, Mina just laughed a bit as she and the others already knew. "And in our first place over all we had Serena Mystic, she also won first place in the vocals category." I could feel a lot of eyes on me from that announcement, some friendly some not, and it was mostly cheerleaders who didn't participate where giving me the nasty looks.

"Again thank you everyone, you did wonderful, lets enjoy this day." The announcements ended and the teacher smiled my way "Yes congratulations Miss Mystic, you did put on a magnificent performance." Mrs. Haruna said "Thank you Mrs. Haruna." I said softly and smiled as we got on with the lesson. I could still feel the hateful stares on my back from the cheerleaders. I knew they would do this to anyone who won that wasn't of their group. I didn't care; they didn't know the whole of it anyway. The bell sounded to end homeroom and we all got up and left to go our separate ways. Rei, Mina and I had history together, while Ami and Lita both had science, we would end up meeting up again for math. On the way to class I saw Robbie and her group laughing about something. "Could you believe they picked the ugliest thing to be on TV?" Robbie said. "Why couldn't they have shown you instead Robbie, you look so much better than that blond bimbo." We heard Tina say and Rei smirked "You know Serena, the dress you got for prom is to die for… it's the most brilliant green color and looks just wonderful on you." Rei said, Mina was catching on, "Oh I know, and those beautiful green flowers in your hair, you'll probably win prom queen at this rate." She said. I just had to laugh. "Now you guys, you're going to be just as good looking in you're tighter than tight red and orange mix dresses." I said snickering; I could feel the glares on our backs as we just laughed.

We knew they were now going to try and out do us in the worst way possible. It was so funny. History class was boring as ever but I spent a good chunk of time already trying to think of good ways to divide my upcoming schedule to make sure I had time for my friends, Darien, and my new job. As I was working on stuff someone came up and grabbed my papers. "Your fuckin crazy!" I heard Robbie's voice as she looked at my paper; it had all my information on it for the photo shoot. I frowned and snatched it back. "Who would want you to even dream of being a model for them, you're the most pathetic piece of trash I know." She said with a laugh. "I'm sorry you feel so bad about your self that you have to pick on me all the time. Perhaps if you had more self confidence and self esteem you would have been offered a contract instead of me." I said ad closed my books and walked off just as class ended. Leaving her standing there with a look that spoke volumes of her anger on her face.

I met up with the girls for lunch. "So how are things going for you guys?" I asked as I waved finding them at the usual place. "Pretty good, just getting the cold looks from the cheerleaders cause we hang out with you." Ami said with a shrug "I bet, Robbie tried to insult me after snatching my papers with my photo shoot info on it." I said as I sat down. "I think she's going to be presently surprised when she sees the ads for the album when it's ready." I said as we all laughed. It wasn't long before my phone rang. "Hello Serena speaking." I said as I answered my phone. The girls were waiting to see who it was. "Hey love, having a good day at school?" Darien asked me as I smiled and started playing with the ring, I could hear them all go back to chattering. "I'm having as good of a day as usual. Nothings different yet, and I don't think things will be different until the ads are released." I said softly "Probably. Keep your eyes peeled then dear." He said to me and I smiled "Of course, and your day?" I asked him. "My day, same as ever, no one here has even the slightest clue about us but they cant stop talking about you and your spot on the news. Some of them are even thinking about trying to steal you for themselves." He said and we both laughed. The bell rang shortly after our laughter had died down. "Well I better get going class is getting ready to start." I said as I walked down the hall to my class. "Alright Sere, I love you." Darien said and I smiled and blushed a bit on my end of the phone conversation. "I love you to Darien." I said as I giggled "I'll see you later." I said as we hung up the phone.

The rest of my day I spent daydreaming, here I was, a soon to be up and coming star, engaged to be married to the worlds most wonderful and wanted man. Even though the wedding wouldn't be for a year, Darien and I wanted it to be perfect. So I figured we would start talking about the plans tomorrow when we had our usual Tuesday date, and then we would work on how we would continue our Thursday dates as well with my schedule. "Earth to Serena!" Lita said waiving a hand in my face snapping me out of my thoughts "Oh jeeze I'm sorry guys. I guess I was just thinking a bit much." I said softly and they all laughed. "Ya think? Are you going to become the airhead you were before we got in high school?" Rei said and I shook my head. "No, sorry I just got a lot of stuff going through my head right now Rei." I said softly looking at her. She hugged my shoulders. "I know I'm teasing, anyway, go on home we'll catch up later, I'm sure you've got some stuff you want to deal with." Rei said and I nodded. "Thanks girls, I'll call you guys later tonight!" I said as I turned on to walk home. I had a lot of stuff to think about and it was going to occupy the rest of my night.

It was about 3:30pm when I got home, thankfully there was no homework assigned, as things were getting ready for finals, and prom and such. So I took the time to sit down and just relax. It was going to be a long time, and I had to figure out a lot of stuff. I had the photo shoot coming up on Thursday and a date; it was going to be a long week.

I tossed my things on the floor of my room and flopped myself down onto my bed. I closed my eyes and rested for a bit. That's when I felt the cold nose of my cat Luna press against my face. I smiled "Hey Luna" I said as I started to pet her. She just purred happily at the attention. "Boy I bet you're just peachy." I said to her. A bit jealous that she had such a simple life at that time, but I loved my own life. I sat up and rolled on to my stomach, while Luna curled up next to me and yawned. She was a great cat, I owned her since I was 14, and she's been there for me all the time.

As I sat there and relaxed with Luna my house phone rang. I reached over to answer it. "Serena speaking." I said into the phone as I continued to pet Luna. "Hey. Sere, I heard this hot new club is opening up tonight. You wanna go?" Mina asked me on the other line. "Sure why not." I said. I could use a night of fun. "Alright, call Darien, and ask him if he wants to come to." She said and I laughed, "Alright I'll call him. What time do you wanna meet?" I asked her "Say about 7?" She replied and I smiled looking at the clock "You know that will be pushin it." I reminded her. "Yeah I know, see you then." She said and we hung up.

Just as she hung up I called up Darien. "This is Darien." I heard him say as he answered. "7pm you, me, mina, her man and a club. What do you say?" I asked him I could hear his laughter on the other end "7's pushin it Sere." He said, "I know…" I said and he chuckled. "I'll be there in 20 minuets, I'm just getting off from work." I laughed and smiled "Alright. See you then." I said softly and hung up to get dressed.
