Hiya peeps I'm back.
Sorry it took me so long to update.
One word: Homework.
Anyways hope you like the new chapter and thanks to all those who reviewed the last one.
You rock!
Serena's P.O.V
Oh… my god.
I had the most amazing time today.
And I'm not just talking your normal average amazing day.
Noo way. I'm talking super amazing.
Literally, the time of my life.
Ooh…
"I had the time of my liiiiiffee, and I've never felt this way bef…"
Cough. Okay, went a little bit off subject then didn't I. Hehe… hmm.
Okay, so I met up with Alicia, Lola, Aaron and Charlie.
We had the most amazing (how many times have I said that) time ever imaginable.
After the initial shock of meeting up.
You know the part where you're all like 'whoa you're hot now!'
It was really nice. Just like old times.
We talked, we joked, we laughed, we even played one of our old songs.
Hehe after about an hour of trying to remember it properly I think it sounded at least half as good as it used to.
So we spent about an hour playing then decided to go our separate ways (home in other words).
But we're meeting up again soon.
The day after tomorrow I think.
Which will be… erm… oh who cares.
But you know what?
Aaron was acting kinda weirdly around me today.
I kept turning round and he'd be staring at me and then pretend to look away when he saw me.
It was seriously weird.
He kept asking me all these questions about Darien…
I asked Lola and Alicia but they just said it was cos he was protective over me… so I shrugged it off.
Anyway, I promised them all I'd bring my old guitar, which I really, really need to find.
God, where is it? Okay I'm gonna go look.
Okay, so I'm in the attic.
My god is it dusty up here.
Okay lets see, old photos, old clothes, old toys… loads of old stuff hehe… okay not funny.
After about half an hour of searching through crap
(I know, I know, but seriously you should see some of the junk we've got stored up here.
I mean a broken toaster from like ten million decades ago.
Why? What's the point? And they wonder where I get my 'weirdness' from).
Anyway, I finally found a box of guitar picks.
So I thought hey, I must be close.
I pulled up a few old blankets and stood back in shock.
There it was.
Shimmering pink, just like it used to be.
I think it's the only thing up here that isn't over a century old.
I slowly picked it up, noticing that most of the strings had snapped and it seriously needed a new strap.
I had to hold back the tears as I noticed a ripped up photo that had been stuffed under it and now lay on the floor.
It was us. Made in Tokyo.
When we were 13 years old.
We were at some theme park.
I pieced it together and turned it over.
'Best friends forever.' Was written in Lola's swirly handwriting.
I smiled softly to myself as I put the pieces in my pocket and…
OWWWWW… god.
Stupid broken toaster.
I swear that things haunting me.
Not that toasters can haunt people but…well… you know what I mean.
Damn thing.
That totally ruined the mood I had going on there.
I'm going to be talking to Dad about that thing.
It's a danger hazard.
Even though I'll probably never go in that attic again in my life… Oh well.
I rushed down to my room and closed my door behind me.
For a moment I just sat on my bed, guitar on the other end, looking at it.
Was I really ready to begin all that again?
I mean, it was all going so fast.
A week ago I was innocent little Serena with pigtails in her hair and pleats in her knee length skirts.
And now.
Now I'm rock hard Serena with black streaks in her hair and leather skirts and don't leave much to the imagination.
Much to my dad's disgust and apparently Darien's.
(Yeah right, I've seen the way he's looking at me.
And lets just say it rhymes with the ust bit of disgust!
Hehe, I have that boy wrapped around my little finger and he don't even know it!)
I looked at the clock beside me bed.
12:13am. I guess I'd better get some shut eye.
I've got a big day ahead of me tomorrow; I'm finally going ahead with the plan.
Oh hey wait a minute.
I haven't mentioned 'The plan' yet have I?
Well… let's just say it involves me, Aaron, Carla and that sweet sensation of revenge.
I ain't sayin anything more.
Not just a pretty face you know!
Okay night.
I woke up the next morning really happy. Actually, it was the happiest I'd felt in a long time.
I suddenly heard moans coming from god knows where.
What the hell?
'Come on baby…'
'Give it to me…'
Hang on a second I recognised those voices.
'Oh yeah baby…'
Oh my god what was that?
Then suddenly it struck me.
I grabbed my cell phone and answered it.
That was the last time I ever let Aaron and Charlie change my ring tone.
Sick pervs.
Ahh, it was the pervert himself.
"Hey sicko." I said sarcastically into the phone.
"Hey what did I do?" Came Aaron's voice from the other end of the line.
"Come on baby… Give it to me… Oh yeah baby." I imitated as Aaron laughed from the other end.
"Damn you can moan Sere."
What did he just say?
"What?"
"Joke." He stated simply.
I could just tell he was smirking, what had gotten into him?
"Okaaaay… Anyway are we gonna do this today or what?" I asked.
"Sure thing. I can't wait to see the look on her face when all this is done."
"Yeah well it's gonna be about a month before we can see the final result." I giggled.
"Oh man, that's unfair. Why so long?"
"Because that's how long it will take to mess her up."
"Mess her up? God it will take longer than a month then wont it?"
"Not if you know her weak spots."
"And you do?"
"Yep."
"How the hell do you know that?" He asked, confused.
"I have my ways." I replied.
"Yeah, sure you do."
"You'll see, you'll see. Don't judge a book by it's cover."
"But I already know you Sere what the hell are you on today?"
"I know you know me silly, I'm talking about my ways.
Don't judge my way before you've seen the ways my ways work."
"Yeah… I didn't get a word of that. You blondes really do speak your own language."
"You're blonde too you know." I laughed.
"You know what I mean." He sighed.
"Whatever. I'll meet you at T.P.A at about 1pm okay?"
"Sure."
"see you then."
"Bye babes."
Then he hung up…
Hang on… babes?… …. …. …
(tumbleweed) … … I really don't get him.
I quickly got ready and headed out.
Hoping to catch Darien at the arcade before I met Aaron.
I was walking along the sidewalk when I heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Serena?"
I turned round to come face to face with the one, the only… Raye.
Okay made a big deal outta nothing there but oh well.
"Hi Raye." I said softly as I smiled at her.
She smiled softly back and her gaze immediately went to the floor.
I could tell she was taking this new change of mine hard.
"Look Raye."
"Look Serena." We both said simultaneously.
We both laughed nervously and looked eachother in the eye.
"I'm sorry if I reacted badly the other day." She said quietly.
What was this?
Raye apologizing?
Quick call 911 it's the end of the world…
okay that was just plain mean.
I need to control the bitch in me sometimes.
"Raye…"
"No let me finish.
It was hard for me Serena.
To see you like that.
You didn't even tell us.
Not one word about this past life of yours.
We never knew this side of you existed.
Then you just barge in one day and completely change.
Expecting us to just accept it and get on with it.
Well I'm sorry but it's gonna take me time okay?" She cried, her eyes filling with tears.
What had come over her?
Raye never cried.
Even in the worst battles where she'd have blood pouring out her side… I know, tactful aren't I!
"Raye… I never knew you felt that way.
I didn't think it would bother you so much.
I was just so busy getting my new life sorted out, I didn't even think about it. I'm sorry." I sighed as I opened my arms for a hug.
She gladly accepted and sighed as she pulled away.
"I can forgive you if you can forgive me… meatball head."
I smiled softly until reality came crashing down on me.
"Hey wait a minute…."
