Serenity sighed in frustration and exhaustion as she walked home from her first day of school. It all started when she bumped into that Student Council President. From then on, her hopes of having a normal first day of high school went down the toilet. She did what not even the dumbest freshman would do, kick the the President in the groin! Only to have been caught by the principal at that! Hell, she was surprised she didn't get suspended for doing such a thing. And it's not like she didn't have a reason to kick the President in the groin, it just happened. It wasn't her fault, he was the one who pissed her off in the first place. He's the student council president, HE should know better. No, it wasn't her fault at all. And she wasn't about to back down from this fight, no not all. If that pompous jerk wanted a challenge, it would be a challenge she would accept. Serenity groaned again. So much had happened, couldn't she have just watched where she was going and not bumped into him?
Could my day get any worse? No, I take that back. Something bad always happens after people say that in the movies.
"Sammy, i'm home!" Serenity shouted as she walked into the door of her, what you would call, home. Actually, it was just a small apartment that consisted of two bedrooms, one bathroom, a small but quaint living room, and somewhat of a kitchen. It didn't have too much furniture, only what was needed for necessary living, afterall it was all they could manage to afford. There, she resided with just her brother, Sammy who was a Second Year in Middle School. Yes, it was just her and her brother. No parents, no guardians, nothing. But the details didn't matter, she thought they were doing just fine on their own.
"Oh hey Serena, what took you so long? Are you legs so stubby that you can't even get home in under twenty minutes?" Sammy teased as he greeted Serenity.
"You know you talk a lot for someone that can't even attract a girl with decent legs!" Serenity countered and knowingly smiled. She and her brother always teased each other when they found the moment to. It was kind of like a distraction from all the misfortune they encountered in the past years. So much pain, so much loss, they had to find something to lighten up the day and save them. Throughout the years, the two siblings saw it was better to forget and avoid the past as much as possible to save them from their grief.
"Hey, that's not fair Serena! I chose not to date. Girls are stupid and icky," Sammy made a face that looked like he had smelled rotten eggs.
"Then what about me?" Serenity questioned as she raised her eyebrow at her brother's funny statement.
Sammy paused as tried to find the answer to her question. "No... You're okay Serena," he smiled.
"And why is that?"
"Because you don't act like other girls, you're cool and tough!"
"Oh really..?"
Sammy blushed at the realization of his admittance, "Yeah... but hey! That doesn't mean I personally think you're cool. You just do cool stuff for me!" He said as he turned to head back to his room to resume his homework.
"Hey, don't walk away, kiddo! What would you like me to get you for dinner?" Serenity shouted over her shoulder as she walked to the kitchen.
"Nothing i'm full!" Sammy sighed.
"You're lying, you don't have to be nice. We have enough money to last us food for about two months, you know." Serenity sighed. Thankfully, she had just enough money left over from paying the bills to supply them with enough food to last those two long months. She earned a minimum wage from her part-time job as a waitress over at the Crown Arcade. It didn't pay much, but it kept them under a roof, at the very least.
"No stupid Serena, I mean it. My friends and I had a potluck at lunch today, and boy I ate a handful," Sammy smiled at Serenity while remembering all the glorious food his friends had brought from their homes.
"If you say so..."
"I'm going back to my room to study for my upcoming exam, see ya!" And with that Sammy left the living room.
Serenity frowned, Even though he thinks i'm unaware of it, that kid is always trying to make his own sacrifices for me.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a telephone call. She picked up the phone, "Hello, Tsukino speaking." Serenity always answered in a formal tone whenever speaking on the phone.
"Selenity, is that you?" said the voice on the other line.
"No, this is her daughter... May I ask who is speaking?"
"Ah, sorry. You sound like your mother. It's.. an old friend." the voice said.
"An old friend?" I don't really remember any of Mama's friends. Maybe that's because I was too young to remember before she left.
"Yes, i'm glad to know you are alright. Please be safe for a little while longer." the voice sounded as if they were worried with fear but also filled with relief to hear the sound of Serenity's voice.
"Who are you?" Serenity said alarmed at the other person's statement. It sounded as if this person was telling her she was in danger.
"That is not important, but I will meet you soon. I have to go. Goodbye." the line went dead.
"That... was odd," Serenity shrugged. She dismissed the thought, not knowing or rather much caring who had called.

The next day came as fast as the last one had ended. Serenity woke up instantly at the sound of her alarm clock.
Serenity looked at the clocked and groaned, Oh joy, time for what seems like a never ending day of school...
As Serenity arrived at school to her first class of the day, she was stopped by group of screaming girls.
"Oh look there he is!" a girl from the crowd shouted
"It's Chiba-sempai!" another girl practically screamed
"President Endymion, good morning! You look very cute in that outfit today!" came another girl's voice
"Ladies, Ladies, I have to get to class now!" A flirty Endymion laughed as the group of girls followed him like a bunch of puppies.
Oh great, it's only first period and i'm already seeing that jerk again. Who are these girls? His fan club? Serenity rolled her eyes as the crowd moved towards her, following a certain someone to his next class. Don't tell me...
"If it isn't the freshman delinquent?" the student council president stopped before the class door to see Serenity.
Serenity blinked at Endymion. Then she left him at that greeting and walked into the classroom, finding her seat.
"Well, that was pretty shallow. You didn't tell me you have AP Astronomy? Why is it that a freshman is in this class when it is a Senior class?" Endymion commented as he took the seat right next to Serenity's hoping to get her to speak.
Serenity continued to ignore Endymion as she opened her textbook.
"Continuing this feisty spree, now aren't we, odango head?"
Serenity stopped reading, "What did you just call me?" She hated it when people made a big deal about her hair. That always pushed her buttons.
Endymion smiled, "Well it's your hairstyle. Quite an odd one, but somehow I find it intriguing."
"There's nothing 'intriguing' about my hair. What is with you? Will you leave me alone?" Serenity snapped at him. She had enough of his stupid charades. Where was he going with the conversation?
"First, you literally go off at me for accidently bumping into you in the hall yesterday. Then, you raise your voice at me for falling on your pencil, which wasn't even my fault. Then, you even get me in trouble with the principal! On my first day of school too! Now you expect me to have a normal conversation with you?! DOES THAT EVEN MAKE SENSE? Is this how you treat your school body? Obviously people are too blinded by the looks you manage to pull off to even see that you're an arrogant asshole." Serenity shouted a mouthful at the student council president, smoke practically flaring out of her ears and nostrils.
Endymion felt hurt at that last comment. He was an excellent study body president, as he saw it. All he was trying to do was atone for mistakes yesterday by talking to this freshman, but all she did was through a fit like a child! How dare she comment his presidency towards the school. He worked a hard and long three years to earn the spot as President of the school. And here she was, a small freshman, who barely knew anything about high school, criticizing him.
"I'll have you kn-" Endymion began, before he was stopped by the teacher.
"Good morning class!" the teacher announced
A bunch of groggily goodmornings came from the students.
"I am Ms. Reika Nishimura, but you may all call ms Ms. Reika. Welcome back, how has everyone's second day of school been so far?" the teacher smiled as she greeted the class for the first time.
Serenity and Endymion both smirked at the question.
"Is there something you wish to say, Endymion? Certainly you must like this class, if you are back for another semester," Ms. Reika called on Endymion, catching his reaction towards her greeting.
"Oh no, nothing is wrong Ms. Reika. Of course I enjoy this class as much as I enjoy the lessons being taught by you," Endymion winked at the teacher, hoping his charms would save him from trouble.
Serenity wanted to nearly barf at his flirtations, 'I was right. This guy is clearly an idiot who believes his looks will get him places' But then again, his looks were quite attractive. There was no doubt about that... wait. What was she even saying? Serenity shook her head. She must be going insane, she thought.
"Ah, still working up those charms of yours, are we now Endymion?" Ms Reika chuckled. "Alright now class! We are already getting off topic, it seems. Now for the lesson of the day, we will be talking about the Moon in particular. Can anyone tell me what they currently know about the planet?"
The whole class was quiet.
"Anyone?" the teacher tried to ask again.
"Ah... how about you, newcomer. Serenity, is your name, is it not? Please, tell us anything you currently know on the planet Moon." the teacher smiled innocently at Serenity
Of course this lady calls on me. Serenity mocked herself at the fate she was experiencing recently. Every just loved to pick on her, huh?
"Um, okay... The Moon is thought to have formed nearly 4.5 billion years ago, not long after the Earth; being the only Moon that belongs to it. The surface area of the moon is 14,658,000 square miles or 9.4 billion acres, to be exact. Only 59% of the moon's surface is visible to Earth, while the other side always stays hidden. People usually do not know that there are 23 seas on the moon. These are not actual seas containing water but are plains formed by ancient volcanic eruptions on the lunar surface," Serenity finished, not noticing the expression of her classmates' that were curiously eyeing her. Even Endymion was bewildered by the amount of knowledge the freshman knew.
"Well, then, Serenity. Thank you for sharing that vast amount of information..." the teacher struggled to regain the class' attention. Even she was amazed, "anyone else care to share any knowledge they have of the moon?"
Everyone was startled by Serenity's facts. No one even bothered to compete with what she said. They were all too amazed.
"Okay, then... on to the lesson," the teacher awkwardly continued on as she began the beginning of her lesson.
After a long hour and a half, the class was dismissed. As Serenity walked out of the classroom, she was stopped by Endymion.
'Oh now what does he want?' Serenity mentally groaned at the sight of the student council president.
"That was quite the show you pulled there, odango head" Endymion smiled
"Again with the nickname..." Serenity muttered under her breath, trying to avoid his eyes
"You seem to know a lot about our planets... for a freshman"
"Why? Because you, senior, wouldn't even be able to say that yourself?" Serenity sneered through her teeth
This made Endymion chuckle, "Now, now before you get all worked up I come in peace," he put one hand up as a sign of surrender
"And what peace would that be?" Serenity snorted
He ignored her sarcastic comment, and continued on with his proposition. "I would like you to join the school's astronomy club"
"And just why would I do that?"
"I was highly impressed by you today in class, and I think you would make an excellent addition to the club," Endymion innocently smiled at Serenity.
What was up with this guy? Yesterday was being a complete and total jackass, and now he's trying to be all 'mr nice guy'? It was like this guy was some kinda bipolar pretty boy.
"Look here, hot shot, I no interest in joining a club. I just want to focus on my schoolwork, if you don't mind. And being in a club with you doesn't sound much better." Serenity said, turning down Endymion's invitation
Their conversation came to a halt at the sound of someone shouting, "Serenaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Mina?" Serenity blinked twice in confusion as she saw her cousin's enthusiastic smile
"Serena, I am so glad to see you! I have so much to say, guess who I just met?" Mina said, not noticing Endymion and his amusement at the whole situation
"Who?" Serenity mockingly matched Mina's enthusiasm
"Oh Serenity, dont ruin the mood! I met this wonderful Senior named Kunzite! It was like love at first sight. And you know what is even better? We both love Astronomy! He even asked me to come with him to the next Astronomy club meeting. I'm so happy, Serenity" Mina sighed in happiness
"Thats... great, Mina" Serenity said, not really having an interest in the topic of boys
"Oh, I know! Why dont you come along with us, Serena? I know you love Astronomy just as just as I do, please do consider it!" Mina begged
"Not you too Mina..." Serenity groaned
"It seems that your cousin also thinks you should join the club too, odango head" Endymion chimed in, finally joining their conversation
"Oh, you must be President Endymion, Kunzite's best friend!" Mina gasped, realizing Endymion's presence
"Why yes, it is a pleasure to meet you, Mina" Endymion kissed Mina's hand as a friendly gesture
Mina giggled, "Why thank you president. So Serenity, wont you go?" She turned to face Serenity again.
"Yes, wont you?" Endymion added
Serenity rolled her eyes at the two people begging her. How was she supposed to turn both of them down?
Oh screw it all. These two are going to be the death of me.
"Fine..." Serenity sighed as she gave up in defeat.
Mina cheered with joy, "then its settled! The first club meeting is at the club president's house tonight, okay?"
"Who is the club president?"
"That would be me," Endymion said with pride.
"You're kidding me," Serenity said in disbelief. Her expressions showing pure horror.
"Nope, at the very least. I expect to see you there, as it is rude to miss the first club meeting of the year. Have a nice day, ladies." Endymion smiled in his victory
Serenity stood there, her draw dropped. She couldn't believe him. This guy had no limits! And what made it worse was that her cousin was on HIS side. Wasn't it supposed to be the opposite way around? Didn't Mina notice Serenity's constant looks that screamed, 'He's evil, save me!' She groaned at the sudden realization of what she had just signed up for.
It was going to be a loooooong night.
Thanks for reading! Sorry, I had to cut it short. This chapter was going to be like super duper long if I included the Astronomy Club meeting at Endymion's house. I should be doing my homework, but procrastination is my specialty. Reviews are gladly appreciated. Until next time! -Neela-chan
