It was Friday finally; homecoming was tomorrow night and tonight was our homecoming game. I got up out of bed to get ready for the day but was stopped by my sister standing in the doorway.

"Serena sit," Amara said.

"What's up Amara something wrong?" I asked yawning.

"We need to talk," Amara said.

"About," I raised my brow wondering if she found out about my previous feeling for Mr. Shields.

"Alan? Why? Don't you think it's sketchy the brother of the girl who hates you asked you to homecoming?" She asked.

"Not really, besides we're just friends," I shrugged.

"Is that so? I would hope, you're moving a bit too quickly Sere and I usually say that to Mina," Amara said.

"Hey I tried with Diamond and I know that, but Alan there's nothing more going on just friends and I will make sure I let him know that okay?" I said.

Sure he was nice and cute, but I really didn't want to date him and deal with his crazy sister every day. Plus I needed to have fun now that I got over my crazy feelings for Mr. Shields, I was right about him too he was a dick.

"Okay just make sure he and his sister know that too," Amara said leaving me to get ready.

I hated when Amara poked at me like this. I know she was right I was worse than Mina usually was, plus adding my past feelings with Mr. Shields that was worse. I got ready and today I went back to my traditional buns and pigtails style and got dressed. I headed down the stairs and sat down at our kitchen table with my brothers.

"Hey Sere," Andrew said ruffling my hair.

"Hey I just did that Andrew!" I growled using my spoon to make sure he didn't completely ruin my hair.

"Don't worry Serena you're still ugly as ever," Sammy stuck his tongue at me.

I flicked a cheerio at him hitting him in the nose with it and laughed at my small victory.

"So how's college Andrew?" I asked while I ate my cereal.

"Not too bad, I made it into the school's team for baseball," He said.

"That's cool, but I thought baseball started later?" I asked.

"Yea but we train early, and I missed the football tryouts because they happened before we got here," He said.

"What about you Sammy?" I asked.

"Oh nothing much I made a new friend!" Sammy smiled.

"You'll have to bring him over so I can torture you both," I smiled evilly.

I loved moments like these with my brothers. Just then Mina ran down the stairs.

"Hey Serena, Andrew, Sammy!" She smiled, "So boys, my friends Lita and Raye are sleeping over so leave us alone tonight. Especially you Andrew."

"Why especially me?" He asked.

"I know you'll flirt with them," Mina smiled.

"Why are they cute?" Andrew smirked.

"Don't you dare," I cut in.

"So Mina why isn't Ami coming tonight too?" I asked.

"She has the internship going on today," She said.

We both finished our breakfast and made our way out to school, Amara left before us so we couldn't all leave together like we always do.

"So Serena?" Mina asked as we walked, "You plan to lose your V-card tomorrow night?"

I gagged, "Hell no!"

She giggled at my reaction, "Good, it's too soon. Just was checking."

We both arrived at the school and said our goodbyes and headed off to class. I went to my first few hours of the day and then I went to my math class which was a lot nicer especially since Diamond's absence. I was able to focus today and that was a plus. Once I finished writing all my notes I got up and headed to English. I didn't want to go into the class but I pushed my thoughts aside and decided to face my demons. Mr. Shields continued to ignore me today which was nice but I didn't focus on him for once during class, I focused on the board and what we were discussing.

The bell rang finally but it didn't seem like it had been that long since I actually focused. I got up and gathered my things, but was stopped.

"Serena please stay," He said his voice seemed off.

I halted and waited for the rest of the students to pile out. I noticed Ann leave the room last giving me her infamous death glare.

"Yes," I said once everyone exited.

"I wanted to apologize to you," He said.

"Thank you, but I got to," I said but was cut off.

"Wait I am not done," He said.

I took a seat and decided to hear him out. He leaned against the wall across from me looking so cool and handsome; I hated to think like this but couldn't help it.

"I am sorry for my actions. I will stop teasing. I am sorry for yesterday too and I shouldn't have acted that way," He said.

I nodded waiting for him to apologize that quick kiss but it never came.

"I will for now one treat you like a normal student. I hope we can get along better now," He said and reached his hand out to shake mine like a business deal.

I grabbed his hand and shook it. His hand was warm. We released and I said goodbye and headed out to lunch.

"I thought you were going to stay away from him? He's mine. Plus you're dating my brother and having a thing with our teacher! You're disgusting you slut," Screeched no one other than Ann.

"Ann, I don't have anything going on with him, and to clarify I am not dating your brother, just going to homecoming as friends," I said calmly hoping she would stop.

"I will destroy you, watch your back bitch," Ann seethed through her teeth before entering Mr. Shield's room.

I shrugged I had no time to be upset over her words then headed to my lunch table.

"Hey why are you always late?" Raye asked looking at me as I walked up.

"I get in trouble a lot," I said.

"Huh, did Ann say anything to you?" Raye asked.

"Yea but she still thinks I am taking our teacher away from her," I laughed.

"She's so screwed up," Lita rolled her eyes at the thought of Ann.

"Anyway, I am so nervous for the game tonight," Mina said.

"Why?" Ami asked.

"It's my first game as a cheerleader here," Mina said.

"Oh right! Well I wish you luck sorry I can't be there," Ami said.

"It's alright we'll miss you!" Mina smiled at her.

"I'll film it for you," I said.

"Hey Serena they are going to post the Sleeping Beauty Roles today," Ami said.

"Really? That's quick," I said.

"Yea we'll check after school," she said.

We gossiped about some minor things before the bell ran and we all said our goodbyes and headed to our final hours of the school day. The day continued on quickly and as soon as the final bell rang I ran to the drama room to see the posted roles. A crowd a people surrounded the paper on the wall. I felt a little nervous I didn't want the role to begin with but now suddenly I did. I approached the paper and saw I got the part of sleeping beauty. I felt overwhelming happiness come over me and jumped up in the air to be laughed at a bit for my over cheerfulness.

I ran over to Ami and hugged her, "Thank you for making me audition! I got the part!"

"Congratulations Serena!" Ami smiled.

"So what are you going to do in the play?" I asked.

"Oh I got the part of one the fairies, the blue one specifically," She smiled.

"That's ironic since blue is your favorite color," I smiled.

"This is going to be so much fun," I laughed.

"Did you hear, Ann got the part of the evil queen," She whispered in my ear so no one could hear.

"That's like the perfect role for her," I giggled, "Who's the prince," I asked.

"Guess," Ami replied.

"Alan?" I asked.

"Ding-Ding-Ding!" She giggled.

"Uh-oh, I hope he doesn't get the wrong idea about us," I said.

"Just be honest with him and he'll be okay, he seems less crazy than his sister," Ami smiled.

"I sure hope so," I laughed as we headed out of the building.

I said my goodbyes to Ami as she left for her internship. Amara stood waiting for me outside.

"Where's Mina," I asked her.

"She had to stay for practice for the game tonight, I will take you and Lita to the game later," She said.

"So guess what!" I smiled up at my sister.

"What's up?" She laughed at my giddiness.

"I got the role of sleeping beauty!" I smiled big.

"That's awesome, but how will you handle your first kiss being on stage?" She asked.

I was dumbstruck by what to say. No one knew I had already had my first kiss from my teacher. I couldn't and wouldn't tell anyone.

"Uh- Well- uh we can fake the kiss I bet," I smiled content with my answer.

"Aw did I make you nervous about it Serena," She laughed.

I laughed nervously happy I avoided that awkwardness of explaining my first kiss. I continued to walk with her home and as soon as we got home I ran upstairs to relax for a bit for the game.

"Hey Michelle is on her way over!" Amara yelled from downstairs.

We usually weren't supposed to invite people over while our parents were out of the house but we always did, especially Andrew and Amara, and we know why too.

I put my headphones on and listened to music to avoid hearing any sounds that would soon emerge from Amara's room.

After a few hours it was time to get ready to go to the game. I took my headphones out and put on some skinny jeans, a black undershirt, and a plaid jacket. I smiled at my appearance and threw on some vans and went to Amara's room. I knocked and Amara opened the door with her shirt on backwards.

"It's time to go, and fix your shirt," I winked.

Amara rolled her eyes and shut the door and then emerged from her room with her shirt on right and a blushing Michelle. We headed out to the car and picked up Lita from her house then headed to our school which was all lit up from the football field's stadium lights. We made our way to the bleachers and tried to stay as close to the field as possible so Mina and Raye could hear us cheering them on.

The game raged on and Mina and Raye rocked their routine. I wished I could do moves like that but it was probably best since I was athletically challenged. We ended up winning the game and the whole crowd roared cheering on. Lita, Amara, Michelle, and I cheered Raye and Mina on.

Once the game was over we ran up to Mina and Raye shiny from sweat.

"You girls killed it," I smiled at them both.

"Thanks," Raye smiled.

"Well let's get going, I got the car," Amara smiled.

We all piled into the car and Amara dropped us all off at home and then went home with Michelle.

Raye, Lita, Mina, and I headed into the house. Sammy and Andrew sat at the couch playing a game together.

"Hey Sammy, Andrew!" Mina said.

Both boys turned their heads and Andrew looked shocked at what he saw.

"This is Raye and Lita," She smiled, "These are my brother Andrew, the older one, and Sammy."

They waved to each other and Sammy went back to his game while Andrew continued to stare. I decided to follow his stare which landed on Lita.

"Well I am going to shower in my parent's room, Raye you can shower in Serena and I's bathroom," Mina said heading upstairs to shower.

"Oh and towels are underneath the sink," I shouted as Raye headed upstairs.

Lita and I popped onto the couch with my brothers and watched them play.

"So Lita, how old are you?" Andrew asked nervously.

He likes her, he totally likes her.

"I'm seventeen," Lita smiled noticing his attempt to flirt with her.

"So why are you friends with Mina and Serena?" He asked.

"Oh your sister plays volleyball and so we became friends, and she introduced me to Serena, and we all became friends," She smiled.

"Oh you play sports?" He asked.

"Yea mainly volleyball," She shrugged.

"Here I got something to show you," Andrew said leading her to his room leaving me and Sammy on the couch.

"He is totally going to make out with her," Sammy said.

"Yup," I said picking up Andrew's controller and taking his spot.
