Have a Good Day Honey!
Chapter One
Beep.. Beep.. Beep.. Beep.. Beep.. Beep.. Beep..
SMACK, THUD, CRACK!
Serena's hand had came flying through the air and smacked into her alarm clock that her mother gave her. The alarm clock now laid silently on the floor, still functional but silent. Yawning, Serena sat up and looked over the side of her bed to see the time. 7:00. Why was she being woken up at only 7? Her mom normally wakes her up at first at 6 and Serena would start running to school at around 7 or 7:15. Why didn't her mom set her clock to wake her up earlier! Serena threw her covers off and ran to her closet and pulled out her uniform like she would always do and quickly started changing. Her pink pj's with the cute little white bunny prints flew across her room, landing on the floor and over Luna who was sleeping at the foot of the bed. Luna woke up when the fabric came in contact with her and let out a loud cat-like screech. Bringing out her claws she batted it off of her and away. The forgotten pj's now laying on the floor next to the clock. Soon as it was gone Luna took in a deep breath and let out a deep sigh. Turning her head she could see Serena struggling to change into her uniform and fix her hair into her normal meatballs. Looking down at the clock Luna gasped and..
"SERENA! DO YOU HAVE ANY BLOODY IDEA WHAT TIME IT IS! YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR YOUR CLASSES!" As soon Luna finished that sentence a pillow collided into her face and knocked her over. Soon after that, she was picked up by the scurf of her neck and put face to face with a demonic looking Serena.
Very quietly and trying to keep her voice as smooth as possible, Serena says, "Luna.. I am well aware of the fact that I am running more late than normal. I would like to ask you to restrain yourself from yelling so early in the morning, on the count of the fact that whoever else is home can hear you."
The only reply Serena got from the cat was a gulp and a nod. Luna was shocked speechless (which was a good thing). Not only had Serena shrieked enough to leave goose bumps, he even had a good point! Slowly Serena put the fur-ball back down and straighten out her clothes. Suddenly the door to Serena's room was thrown open. It was her mother standing in the doorway with her spatula in hand looking as if she was going to use it as a weapon.
"What's going on! I heard screaming!" She looked around the room and looked to Serena and paused for a moment, "Um.. Honey? Why are you dressed in your old uniform?"
Serena glanced down at her outfit and then looked back at her mother, "Um.. Because I have to go to school?"
"Yes, this is true but you don't have to wear your uniform to school anymore, remember? Your going to Cherry High now." (AN: I know, I know, the name is lame) Serena, now realizing that her mother was right, groaned and hung her head and started to change out of her clothing as her mom headed back out of the room, forgetting why exactly she came back in before and starts to cook the breakfast that Serena would rarely have time to sit down and enjoy before school. Maybe with the extra time before school things will be better for Serena. Still, Mrs. Tuskino had hoped that Serena would of done well in the school that she herself went to and her mother before her.
Sammy yawned as he slipped his arm through his left sleeve as he came down the stairs, taking a seat in the kitchen, "So, how long do you think it will take before she flunks out of this school?"
The only reply he got was a demonic looking glare from his mother as she held up that same spatula.
A green minivan drove up to the front of Serena's new High school. Looking out the window Serena had an upsetting look on her face that said 'I don't want to be here, it's scary here.' Teenagers were gathered around the school, waiting to be let in. Some kids were smoking as they talked and goofed around with each other. Serena looked down at her clothing that her mother told her she should wear. White knee high's, jean skirt, maryjane shoes, and a pink sweater (AN: I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that, maybe the shoes..). Her hair was in the normal pigtails and buns as they were in everyday except her mom added a pink bow on each of her buns.
Serena's mom sat in the driver's seat and smiled at her, "Oh look at my baby girl. Now have a good day Honey. I packed your lunch and put it in your backpack since you always seem to leave it at home when you are in a rush to school." Serena gave her a helpless look. "Oh now don't look at me like that Serena, you'll be fine." Serena sighed and opened the car door and stepped out. Pulling her bag overtop her shoulder, she started to walk towards the other students. She really did not like being the new kid at school. Some kids were looking at her, and she could hear some of them snickering at her outfit, by the way it looked and the use of pink. This was going be a long day. Serena stood off far from the others and waited until they were let in. She wasn't used to showing up to school on time. Serena was feeling completely out of place, her outfit just screamed 'My mommy dressed me.'
Just when Serena thought nothing else could get worse, her mother rolled down the car window and yelled, "Bye Honey, I love you. Make me and your father proud!" And then she drove off as everyone around her started to laugh and her cheeks turned a rosy shade of red.
Well, Serena made it through her first two classes. Her first class was a creative writing class that her mother signed her up for. The teacher was really nice and it was a small class. A girl with shoulder length brown hair and red highlights sat in front of her. From looking behind, Serena would of guessed that she was one of those trendy gothic girls only she had some color to her outfit. Red and black pin-striped pants, a red shirt with silver designs, a black and red thin jacket overtop, and boots that came mid calf (covered by her pants). She wore many rings on her fingers and a long necklace around her neck that had a small mood charm in the shape of a heart and a dog collar.
As the day went on, Serena noticed this girl was in a few of her other classes. Her father thought it would be best if she took a Speech class to help her become more confidant. And there was the same girl sitting across the room. Serena could notice that she had glasses, piercing done up her left ear, and when her stretched her shirt exposed her tattoo and belly-ring. Her Tattoo was of a red rose in blossom with the stem circling around her bellybutton. This girl did not give a damn about what anyone thought of her, even though the boy's, those self centered jerks, tried making fun of her. She ignored them all and went on doing whatever it was she was doing, dismissing them from her attention.
The girl glanced at Serena every now and then, noticing that Serena was looking at her. The girl seemed a little annoyed by this and glared back at her until Serena turned away and blushed, thinking she, Serena, upset this girl. Class went on and teacher had them throw around a doll(we did this in my Speech class) and whoever caught it had to say their name then the person their going to throw it to. Serena found out that the girl's name was Gillian. Gillian surprisingly threw the doll to Serena, and looking up Serena could see Gillian giving her a cool smirk. The bell rang and class was dismissed, students starting packing up their bags and throwing their bags over their shoulder walking off to lunch, the teacher being the first person out.
Serena was about to step into the hallway when she heard someone call to her.
"Hey, Bun-head," Serena tried not to growl at this new nickname given to her and turned around. It was Gillian, sitting on a desk, her feet propped up on a chair. Causally she pulls out a interesting shaped pack of cigarettes. She pulled a black cigarette out, putting the cig in her mouth. Serena noticed that even the cigarette had matched her outfit. She peered through her glassed at Serena, "Close the door would you?" Gillian light the cig and takes in the smoke, then blowing it out after a few moments.
Raising an eyebrow, Serena does as this girl had asked her and closed the door. "Do you always smoke in school, and in a classroom?" She was surprised that her nose didn't wrinkled up from the smell of the smoke as she came closer to the girl. She took in a breath and realized it smelled like cinnamon or.. Cloves? (Yes! It's a fucking Clove Cigarette! Though smoking is a bad habit and disgusting habit, I am trying to quit. Smoking will never make you look cool or older unless you are a fictional character. Don't be fictional, be real!)
Smirking a bit Gillian looks to Serena, "I definitely thought you were a new student here." Rummaging through her back-pack she pulled out an ashtray. "As you can see, the teacher leaves after this period. No other teacher's come in and if they try.." Gillian gets up and walks over to the door Serena just shut and pulled out a key and locks the door, then moved down to the other door and locks it as well, "I've got the key." takes another drag, "Friend of mine, and friend of my family works here and makes sure that I get to have a room to myself if I fee like it at lunch. He's the janitor, he doesn't even need this job, don't know what he's doing working here though. Says someone has to do it so why not him." She goes back to her desk that she was sitting at.
"This is all really fascinating but... why did you want me in here?"
"The question is, why are you still here?" She smiled at her own reply, "Look, I saw you in class and by the looks of it I'm guessing you haven't made one friend today, am I right?" Serena didn't say anything, "All I wanted to know was if you would be interested in hanging out at all." Serena looked confused, "What?.. No one has ever asked you to hang out and do stuff?"
Serena shook her head, "No, no. That's not it. I just thought Goths never hung-out with anyone who wasn't a Goth."
Gillian stared at her and blinked a few times, "Please dear God don't tell me you think that I'm one of those trendy Goth girls that go around saying how fucking depressed they are and only shop at overly priced stores, such as Hot Topics(I don't have a problem with them, it's just a lot of money to shop there), and listens to Avril Lavigne do you?" Serena nodded and Gillian rolled her eyes and sighs, then inhales more from her cigarette, "I'm not a Goth, not a Punk, I'm not anything. I like to think of myself as an individualist more then anything, I'm just me."
(AN: Also, I have no problem with Goth people, I have good friends that live the gothic lifestyle, that was a character speaking, do not take that personally.)
Serena pauses for a moment, "Oh.. well that's cool."
Gillian blows smoke in Serena's face, "So, what's your story? Did your mommy pick out your clothes?"
Serena laughs a bit nervously, "Is it that obvious?"
Gillian just smirked and for the whole lunch period they talked and Gillian smoked until the bell rang. Sadly they didn't have any more classes with each other for the rest of the day, but Serena didn't care, she finally found someone who wasn't just trying to make fun of her hairstyle and just ready to kick her on her butt. Gillian was also very Different from the Scouts. She had this presents around herself that could either make you feel comfortable around her, or make you want to run from her. Serena didn't care though, she couldn't wait to get home and let Luna know that school wasn't as bad as she thought it would be.
After school
"Hey Serena!" Serena turned around as she was heading off the campus grounds. She saw Gillian racing up to her and Serena stopped to wait for her. By the time Gillian made her way to Serena Gillian was out of breath, heaving. "D-damn, guess I should really think about quiting the cigs huh?" She gave Serena a half-smile. "Where were you off to in such a hurry?"
"Oh I just can't wait to get home and tell Luna about my day!" Serena smiled.. then realized what she said and covered her mouth. She had told Gillian about having a cat named Luna, by now she might as well have told her she was Sailor Moon. Soon Serena's defensive reflex kicked in and started giving off her wary laugh, "I mean, I don't talk and expect her to say anything back.. She's just a normal ordinary cat!"
Gillian put her hand up to signal to calm down, "Woah Serena it's ok, I think it's perfectly normal to talk to your pets. I do it with mine all the time.. So you really thought today was ok?"
"Mm, well maybe everything except my outfit" They both chuckled at that. And then it happened..
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
"Uh Serena what is that?"
"That's my commu- I mean beeper, it's my beeper. Probably my mom telling me she wants me home as soon as possible. I'm sorry Gillian, I'll see you tomorrow at school!" And with that Serena raced down the road.
"Huh.. Strange girl.. But I like her" Gillian just shrugged and made her way home, humming softly to herself.
END OF CHAPTER
Sorry, normally I would of made it longer but my sister wanted to get online and I've been putting off uploading the story. Sorry there's no Serena and Dare action going on yet. He and the other scouts will be in the next chapter, I just wanted to bring in Gillian. Well enjoy people!
