Chapter 3

Hiya welcome to the 3rd chapter of the real me.
Thank you so much to everyone who has reviewed so far.
I hope you enjoy the story.
Serena's P.O.V
Ugh.
I fell down on my bed with a sigh. Wearing heels was harder than I thought.
Being able to walk and look good in them was twice as hard.
I kicked off my pink heels and rubbed my feet.
Gees Serena how much more are you gonna put yourself through?
Today had gone sooo much better than I thought it would.
After the initial shock of it all the scouts actually admitted that my new look suited me.
I think Raye's still recovering though. I don't think she can handle the fact that I actually look better than her for once.
HA. I was like, in your face pyro! No, I love her really; I've just got to give her some time to get used to me.
Ouch!
Hehe, just fell over my shoes. I guess I'm still a little klutzy.
Anyway, so afterwards I told them all about how I used to be a rock chick.
And how before I met them and how I was in a band called 'Made in Tokyo.'
Sad name I know, but we were 12 when we started it. I told them all about Carla and how our bands were rivals.
Lets just say the fights we used to have were worse than a few of those with the Negaverse.
Thinking back, I can't believe how tough I was. I remember one time, when… erm… I think I can remember the whole story.
We were at our Theatre school. And we'd just started a project called the Rock project.
Basically, we had to get into bands and make up songs and whoever rocked won.
I got into a group with two girls and two guys. I can kinda remember the first time we all met, oh, sorry that's not important.
Anyway, together with Alicia (vocals), Lola (Guitar), Charlie (Bass) and Aaron (drums).
We totally rocked. And Carla wanted to join our band. But we didn't have enough room for anyone else.
So, me, being the lovely person I am. Told her, kindly I might add, that she couldn't be in our group.
It really hurt her, and afterwards I felt really guilty. So later that day I went up to Carla. I apologised and suggested that we still be friends.
Well, that bitch sure knew how to make enemies.
As soon as I'd stopped talking she spat in my face.
She told me that she hated me and my 'pathetic bunch of losers' (I quote her).
And that was it. From that day on we hated each others guts.
We were both out to win the rock project, and we would do anything, and I mean anything to get the 1st place prize.
A place in the semi finals of Tokyo's yearly battle of the bands competition.
And at 12/13 years old, that was an amazing competition.
Okay, lets get to the point.
One day Carla and I (or Crapla as I called her then) got into a huge fight.
And I'm not just talking screaming at each other. Oh no. Lets just say Carla lost A LOT of hair and I've still got the scars.
I just can't believe that at 12 years old I did that. And now I'm 18 years old and however much I hate to admit it. A lot softer.
Isn't it meant to go the other way round?
Oh well.
So basically that was the start of the Serena-Carla wars.
Yeah, there was a name for them.
Everyone in the school- even the teachers knew to keep us away from each other or it would create havoc.
We would pull pranks on each other, snap the strings of each others guitars.
I remember one time she even managed to do something to my hair dye.
Lets just say I wasn't a happy bunny when my hair turned blue.
Oh god I miss those guys. Not Carla obviously.
I wonder how they all are. Especially Aaron he was h-o-t, hot!
Oh god Serena control yourself you have a boyfriend.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about Darien.
Once he'd stopped staring at my stomach and extremely tight top, he hurried out of the arcade muttering something about needing to take a shower.
It was when Andrew added 'an extremely cold shower' that I actually felt kinda sorry for him.
I'll have to make it up to him later if you know what I mean!
Whoa, where is all this flirtatious energy coming from. I'd better learn to keep my mouth shut.
Anyway where was I before I mentioned my poor old boyfriend.
Erm… Oh yeah, my band. I need to get together with them sometime.
I think Alicia gave me an email address. Erm… now where did I put the damn thing?
I think it was in my old diary. God knows where that is!
Oh well, I'll have to find it late… It's in my closet at the top in erm… a pink shoebox.
Damn, I have a good memory when I need it. If Raye could hear me say that she'd probably die from laughter.
But hey who cares what she thinks!
After about an hour of reading bits from my diary and laughing myself silly I finally found it.
My god was I dramatic when I was younger. I'd written stuff like 'If Dad doesn't buy me a new guitar I'm going to kill myself.'
No wonder I was hard work, hehe.
Right, I thought as I switched my computer on.
This is it. I wonder if this is still her email. I guess the only way I'll find out is to try.
I logged on to my email account.
Only to have received like a gazillion emails form like everybody on the planet.
No I'm joking. They were all from Darien and the scouts. I'll read them later.
I opened up a new message and started typing:
Hey Alicia.
It's Serena Tsukino here. It's been a long time huh?
I guess I just wanted to say…
'No, wait, delete that.' I thought as I started again.
Hey Alicia.
It's Serena Tsukino, you know from TPA. (Tokyo Performing Arts)
It's been a long time huh? I just wanted to apologise for just walking out on you guys like that.
I know I was a complete and utter bitch, but I have my reasons.
I just needed some space to figure out what I really wanted.
It's taken me four years to realise I left it all behind. Typical me huh?
I feel really stupid for leaving so quickly.
I should have let you lot have your say before I went.
I know it looked like I was giving up, but I really didn't want to. I was forced to.
But I'm sorry I can't tell you why.
Anyway, I was just wondering if you wanted to get together sometime, with all the others of course.
Please tell them I'm sorry. I'll apologise in person. If you let me of course.
So please reply to this, I miss you guys so much.
Well, hopefully I'll see you soon. Bye xxx
I clicked the send button and let out a sigh.
I closed my eyes and breathed deeply as I closed my computer down.
I really wasn't in the mood to listen to Darien and Amy rambling on.
It was bad enough on the phone.
I just had to wait for Alicia to (hopefully) reply.
Ugh, damn my impatientness, if that's even a word hehe.
I yawned as I changed into my pyjamas and snuggled up in my bed.
I was so happy at that moment.
I was no longer pretending to be someone else.
I could finally let loose and feel comfortable with myself.
I could finally be the real me.
Will Alicia reply? Wont Alicia reply?
If you want to find out please review and tell me what you think.
Thanks. Til' next time peeps.
