It started out as any normal day for Serena, she got up showered dressed for school, and left the house. Only this day would be the worst of the ones so far in the school year.

"Hey Raye, what's shaken?"

"Nothin lil miss popular" Raye Replied "Raye you know that I hate that name!" whined Serena.

"I know but I just love to annoy you to no end and you know that so why do you say anything? Serena?" "Serena?" "Hello earth to Serena!!" Raye waved a hand in front of her face as Serena stared off into space. That's when she finally noticed what Serena was looking at, or who, Darien Shields, the notorious playboy of Santana High School. Startled out of her revere, Serena mumbled a quick sorry and left to go to class.

"Good morning Miss. Haruna" chirped Serena to her homeroom teacher.

"Good morning to you too Serena, oh by the way good job on the test Serena."

Serena blushed and quietly mumbled a thank you. After seeing who had entered the room after Miss. Haruna said that Serena quickly regained her composure and swiftly walked to her seat in the very back and sat down. Darien noticed who sat down in the seat next to his and put a scowl on his face and sat down opposite to Serena James.

"Good morning Darien" Serena said as she turned in her seat to flash her dazzling smile at him. Upon hearing his name he turned and his scowl deepened if that was at all possible. Slightly laughing at the way his face looked she couldn't help but comment. "You know if try smiling every once in a while you might actually get a girlfriend Darien" she said with a wink. He turned to her "Well I cant get one because all the girls in school are your friends and I've already made it clear that I want nothing to do with you, so leave me alone!" he hissed at her. Slightly startled at his meanness and his cold-hearted demeanor she decided to leave it at that, not uttering another word the entire class.

Lunch:::::::

"He actually said that to you!" "Raye I already told it was fine he obviously doesn't want to be my friend and that's fine." "I know but you think that he could actually make and effort to at least be nice to you especially after, you-know-what happened." "Raye please I don't want to talk about my family, its still to painful."

"Hey beautiful" "Andrew! Oh my gosh I'm so happy to see you!" replied Serena as she put her arms around his neck and kissed him. Hearing whistles and quotes being thrown their way the young couple decides to finish this later, and quietly sit on the grass together.

On the bleachers by the football field::::::

"Hey Darien what's all the commotion over there" Greg said pointing to the grassy lunch area "Hey isn't that your girlfriend over there Darien" Chad said jokingly, only to be glared at by Darien. "You know full well Chad that I have no interest in Serena James at all, not as a friend and certainly not as a girlfriend." He said openly glaring at the happy couple kissing in front of him. How could Andrew do this to me I mean he was my best friend and suddenly he's dating the one person in this school I cant stand, well fine two can play that game

Some where else in the Lunch area::::::::::

"Look at her kissing Andrew in public like that, that little wench is gonna pay, for taking my spot on the social ladder" Lily said with a snide smile on her face. "Yeah Lily no one is prettier than you, especially not Serena James" one of her friends said, while the rest of the group quickly nodded their approval. "Yes well I have a plan to completely ruin little miss perfect, and after I'm done with her, she wont be coming back." Lily said with a cackle.
