"Yaaaawwwnnnn." Serena yawned, stretching her arms. It took her a while to adjust to the light, so she rubbed her eyes. That's right! I live here now. What should I do today? I have to tell Mina I finally got my big score! Serena smiled with satisfaction. But she knew there was a lot more to come. Her number one priorities right now was to make Darien like her. If he can't accept me, I might as well kiss the money goodbye. Thomas will never marry me if has grand-son and she can't get along. Serena pouted at the thought.

Serena took of her blankets and walked to the mirror next to the closet. She put her hair over her ear, and then looked at her teeth. EW...I got to brush and kick! The garlic bread really affected me. She said staring at her reflexion. For know on, she knew she had to look her best, no matter what happens. She turned around, the noticed she had a bathroom. I have my own bathroom! She thought in joy. She looked down at herself. Perfect timing, I might as well use it. She smiled walking to the bathroom.

When she got in, she started to undress, soon after she got into the shower, turning the water on. Serena liked taking her shower in boiling hot water, so the bathroom soon steamed up. Serena was now scrubbing her body, when she herd someone come in. What the hell, who's in here? Can't they hear the water running? She thought. She turned off the water, and got herself a towel. When she got out, she saw Darien standing there, staring at her with a dirty look.

"Can I help you?" Serena asked him. "What the hell are you doing in my bathroom?" He asked her. "I'm sorry. I thought it was my bathroom. There's a door attached to this bathroom, and my room." She tried to explain and pointing to the door with a pouted look. Darien couldn't help but look at her from head to toe. She was so beautiful standing there in only a fluffy white towel barely covering her body. He was yet and still soapy. He did notice how wavy her hair was when it was yet. "All right, all right. You can use this bathroom. Just knock before entering. Okay?" He said giving permission to use the bathroom.

"Thank you...Darien" She said with a big smile on her face. "I don't want to be rude or anything, but is it okay if I continue my shower? My hair is still all soapy." She asked him. "Yeah, sure. I'll see you later." He said leaving the bathroom.

What am I going to do? I'm already attracted to her? But I can't be. I know there's something about her, something that isn't right. I can't let grand-father get involved with her, until I find out what's wrong. Darien thought, leaving the bathroom. I know what I have to do. I'll call Amy. I'm sure she'll be able to find information on Serena for me. He thought once again before going downstairs.

When Serena finally finished her shower, she went into her room, looking for something to wear. Not only where her clothes here, but there was plenty of clothes already in her closet. A bunch of clothes in different sizes. She decided on her short pale blue mini skirt, and a pale yellow alter top. After getting dressed, she put her pale yellow flip-flops and a cute little silver ankle bracelet with pendants of moons and stars. After getting dressed, she went back into the bathroom, knocking first, to do her hair and make up.

She kept her hair half down and half up by putting a cute pale blue flower elastic, then clipping the sides with pale yellow bobby-pins. The rest of her hair, she decided to leave it nice and wavy.

Soon after her hair was finished, she started to apply her make up. She decided on a cute natural pink lipstick. Then she put a little bit of baby blue eye shadow, with a bit of mascara. She looked at her eye liner, and decided she didn't need it today. After one last touch of eye shadow, she looked into the mirror, and knew she looked perfect. She then put her make up away, leaving the bathroom. Should I call Mina first, or should I surprise her? Serena thought walking down the stairs.

"Serena darling! It's about time you come down here. I'm sorry but you missed breakfast, but would you like lunch?" Thomas said walking up to her. Serena smiled. "You know I would love to have lunch with you, but I promised my best friend I would eat lunch with her. But I'm free for lunch with you any other time." "Sure, I'll take you out on that. Now have fun. And bring her by sometime; I would like to meet your best friend". Thomas said. "Thank you so much. You're a sweetheart! You know that." Serena said kissing him on the cheek before leaving. Thomas just stood there, waving her off. He seemed like he was in a dreamland. That kiss must have really affected him.

"Good day Mina!" Serena excitedly said to her best friend. She couldn't help but smile. Mina looked at her as if she was crazy. "Alright Rena. What's got you so excited? Did you listen to me? Or did you go after Mr. Newman?" Mina asked her.

"Now Mina...you know how much this means to me. Of course I went after Thomas, and I got him in the palm of my hand! I've already moved in!" Serena couldn't help but brag at her success. "Serena you know how much I despise what you're doing." Mina told her walking away. "Well its better then showing the whole world that I'm a slut! I don't make movies of me having sex with strangers. I'm not the porn star here!" Serena said getting mad at her friends reaction.

Mina turned around. She was feeling betrayed. How could her own best friend. "That...was...low...Serena...even...for you!" Mina said in a low whisper. Serena, feeling guilty tried her best to get Mina to forgive her. "Mina, I'm sorry. I just feel like I'm always the one doing something wrong. I know what I'm doing is wrong. But what am I going to do. I got no money...and Thomas does." "That doesn't make it right Rena!" She said cooling off. "You know what I've been through Mina. I would think my own best friend would support my decisions." Serena said.

"Arg!! Okay Serena, you know I think its wrong, but it's your decision. I won't stand in your way. Now let's go have lunch." She said changing the subject. "Sounds good to me" Serena replied hugging Mina.

After many hours of chatting and updating there lives to one and other, Serena finally came to her new home.

"Hello Darien! Where's Thomas?" She asked the handsome beautiful man standing in front of her. Darien just stared at her. "My grand-father is in his study. He doesn't want to be disturbed, but wanted to let you know that dinner will be served at 5:30." He replied. "Oh" Serena said looking disappointed. "Well, um, Darien...if you're not doing anything, would you like to go for a swim with me?" She asked as polite as she can be. Darien didn't know what to say...maybe this was perfect timing to find out more information on Serena. "Sure, I really need to get some fresh air." He told her. "I'll meet you at the pool area in about 15 minutes. "Okay! Sounds good." Serena replied running up the stairs. Maybe this is going to be easier then I thought! She thought.
