Serena stepped out of her cab and stared up at the building she was going to live in. It was one of the cities youth hostels, thirteen floors high. Serena had chosen this place to live because, if you worked at least part-time, you could live there for free. Serena would work at the hostel part-time after school at New York City High School. Thankfully, in New York City, no one cared if you had parental consent to work, as long as you were over sixteen. Serena walked in and introduced herself to the girl working at the front desk. The girl, Jenny, responded enthusiastically,
"Hi, you must be exhausted from your trip! Here's your room key, room 560 on the fifth floor. You'll be sharing a room with four other workers; Sonia, Nalia, Ceilia, and Maria. They're part-timers, just like you, so they can fill you in later on you jobs around here. Dinner is at six till eight. Don't worry about disturbing anyone on your floor either, it's all workers. Bye now!"
As Serena walked towards the elevators she thought, 'Wow, can that girl talk!" Serena stepped into the elevator and lightly pressed the fifth floor button. 'Well,' Serena thought 'This place seems nice so far, the school sounds good, and, hopefully, the work won't be too much to handle.' Serena looked up as the doors opened. A long hallway stretched before her and when she was halfway down she found her room. Inside were three bunk beds, and four beds were already taken. One had a deep purple bedspread, another a pink, one a black spread, and the last a grey spread. Serena chose the bottom bunk on the last open bunk bed and quickly laid her silver bedspread out. She sat down and looked around. One bathroom for five girls, two showers, a nightstand at the base of each bunk bed, and a small light on the wall next to each bed. It was a nice comfortable room, but not very homey. Serena liked it. No reminders. Outside, the passing of the aboveground subway passed out side their window. As she closed her eyes, she thought of Darien and his betrayal. She remembered all too clearly when she caught him kissing Raye, and even though he didn't know she knew, she didn't care. 'No,' Serena thought 'I will not feel pain over him or any of them. They aren't worth remembering.' Serena closed her eyes and drifted into the cold void of sleep.
Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter stinks, but considering I wrote the next two and a half chapters during my free time at school today, I'd have to say they're pretty good. I'm sorry for those of you who like Raye, but I don't and I think she's a stuck up snob, so be prepared for her to be a witch in this story. In the next chapter, you'll meet Serena's roommates. They won't be a major part of the story, but I think they're somewhat interesting. Oh, and they're won't be too much to do with the Sailor Scouts in my story, sorry. And be prepared for a run in with Darien coming up in a chapter or two. All disclaimers apply. I do not own Sailor Moon, though I wish I own Darien.
