First Day

"Serena Lane you get up this instance your late for school, you never one to be late on the first day!" my mother said yelling at me. "fine" i said "okay,okay i'm up dang". i walked all the way downstairs from my upstairs bedroom to go take a shower. we just moved from Chicago to California.When i finished up taking a shower i went to change and came back down to eat."how are you sweetie".my mom said. this coming from the one who yelled at me to get my ass down stairs."oh just fine". i mumbled unhappily."i know how your feeling and i know you miss your school bu-". Ring! my mother never got to finish that sentence, phew saved by the telephone.I took one more look at the mirror before i went outside to walk to my new school. As the sun beat down at my hazel eyes.i had beautiful black wavy hair and hazel grey eyes. My best friends at my older school say i'm so beautiful with everything.They even say i have a nice body.i chuckled to myself at my memories. I casually walked in the big building. Everyone starring at me . ugh. i walked into the principal's office to get my schedule."oh hello there Miss.Serena Lane , and welcome to South Eastern HIGH". he said in his jolly tone "i'm Mr. Karol and here is your schedule for the whole school year...your teacher is Ms-"he began."Um ill be on my way".i interrupted him and left. i'm guessing he wasn't mad because he knows the situation with my family. I went to my locker and put my English stuff away and went to Science Class.

All eyes and ears

As i walked into the class room everyone once again was starring at me like i was some kind of model i mean who can blame the curvy body and a rack . i went in and took my seat behind a cute dude. "okay now settle down class ... as you can see we have a new student today and her name is Serena Lane". she continued "now Serena can you in introduce yourself in front of class please. i nodded in reply. "uh..um.. well as you can see you all know my name and i'm from Chicago i moved to California and i'm African ,Haitian American and my eyes are a little diff-". i got cut off by a chick."um to much information".the whole class laughed.my cheeks were burning i decided to stand up for myself "says the girl who is probably a self absorbed prick". ooh, the whole class went and i took a seat. she kept giving me glares.i just rolled my eyes at her.The lunch bell rang. i walked outta class just like that.I went in to the cafeteria ,got my lunch and couldn't decide where to sit. Well the girl who was mean was out of the question. "hey, you can sit with us". said a boy i didn't know.he was so adorable my gosh."uh sure". i went to go sit next to him. "by the way i'm Gregory,". he said smiling "and these are my friends Erin,Steve,Micheal,and Hannah". "hey!".they all said in usion. We all started laughing. Lunch period was over. As i was walking to my locker someone was waiting there."hey ,...Serena right".he said while smiling he was blonde blue eyes and had one dimple on his right cheek."yup".i replied."um.. well Serena i hear your new and my names Jason."he introduced himself."Me and my friends want to ask you to come to my party if that's cool with you". "i'll ask my mom ,but for now yes". he handed me a party invitation and winked at me.despite my dark complexion i was blushing. Now it was time to leave school.I had the most incredible day there except the part in the morning. I walked into my house and it was kind of strange because my mom wasn't home. then i remembered she now has a job and so does my dad. I went upstairs to my bedroom and was doing my homework when i heard a knock. i ran down."who is it".i yelled. "its me Erin.. from lunch". she said casually. "oh".i replied. "so i saw you talking to Jason and he invited you to the party".she said happily."um yeah." i smiled as i said this."i was wondering since we both got invited do you wanna go to the mall and choose outfits." she asked."yeah of course".i said excitedly. i went upstairs grabbed my coat and went into her mothers car. "so where we going". i asked happily. "were going to La Boutique'".she replied answering my question. We both ran into the store and were trying on really nice short dresses. i chose a blue sleeveless dress and Erin chose a black half strapped dress. we kept on screaming on how good we looked in them. we quickly paid and left the shop. "you hungry Serena".she asked wearily. "Hell yeah". i shrieked . we went to McDonald and i ordered a double cheese burger and Erin ordered only chicken nuggets and fries. when we got out the drive through we ate hungrily. After awhile we just talked about the gossip shes been hearing ,but of course how would i know.Then she dropped me off and i thanked her. I made my first new best friend. i thought to myself

Party Time

The whole week me and Erin were anxious to go.Then Saturday came , it was party time. My mother said yes , so i had permission to go. "so what are you gonna where".she asked anxiously. i explained to her and she was nodding her head with approval."that's nice". it was 8:30. hell yeah PARTY TIME. I sent a text to Erin. it said ( R U STILL COMING ). BEEP! i looked at the text. it said (NO I'M SICK JASON SAID HE'LL DRIVE YOU). I was sad ,but then got happy when Jason was gonna pick me up. Honk! HONK! I looked out the window and Jason was there in a nice tuxedo. i kissed my mom goodbye."have fun sweetie!". she yelled out the window. how embarrassing i thought to myself as i climbed in the front. He pulled out the drive way. "you look nice". he said checking me out. i blushed."um.. Thanks you do to. When we arrived at the party we could already hear the music blaring into our ears. he got out the drivers seat and opened the door for me . such a gentleman.i walked in and once again eyes was on me. Maybe its cause i have a curvy body and a huge rack and rear.i walked in and started dancing. instantly all the guys danced to.i took a break.Jason was starring at me. HE'S STARRING AT ME!!.okay just act normal. he walked toward me. "do you wanna drink". he asked me hopefully. "sure".i replied. he came back with a coke. "thanks". i said excitedly."no prob".The song changed into a slow song. i was swaying with the music. "Serena" Jason said nervously. "yeah" i turned to him with my grey hazel eyes to show that i was listening. Gosh she's beautiful.Jason thought. "do you wanna dance". i simply just nodded.i stood up with him. he put his hand on my waist and one on my rear. it felt good...no it was great.i put my arms around his neck and put my head on his shoulder.we swayed there with everyone watching. Then at 12:04 the party was over. when drove me home and stopped at my house i got out and said thank you. i went upstairs after i said hi to my mom. i was daydreaming then went out like a light.

Gossip Girl was her name

When i walked in Science all i could do was daydream when that mean chick was talking behind my back. turned and glared at her. "um if you have something to say, say it to my face". i said daring her. "okay then , i will". she said "i saw you dance with Jason and you are so outta his league so don't even try okay."i had it with her "you know what your just jealous because he didn't dance with you and he was staring at me ". The bell rung and i added to it ."And FYI at least i don't have to watch what i eat". i swear if it was humanly possible i think smoke would've come out her ears.I just sashayed out of the room. The whole day went great though. when i went home my mother was sitting there at the table crying. "Mom whats wrong?" i asked her worriedly.she looked up and she could barely get the words out "y-your dad w-was on a plane and it Cras-". she started sobbing before she got the word out. i was bawling like crazy with her. we both weren't even hungry so we cried ourselves to sleep.

The Funeral

the next day i didn't even go to school so my mom just called and told the principal the sad news. he to was upset. the funeral was on October 3,2013.i sang in my fathers funeral. when we all went to the coffin my mother fell on his body sobbing "Why Martin don't leave us ". she sobbed. four people had to take her away. then we all went home. i was still wearing my black dress that i wore to the funeral that day. i had no light in my room and i was really depressed. Erin comforted me with nice words then left. I was looking at our old photos when my mom came in. "you really miss him don't you Serena". she asked. i simply nodded with tears streaming down my brown cheeks."Remember when he said funny made up words when you were sad". she said and manged to crack a smile. "yeah..mama". i said "yes dear". "do you think god would want us to stay strong when things didn't go right". "of course have faith". she whispered then walked out of my room. We ate dinner in silence we pretty much did anything in silence . I went to get smoothies. i sat at the table with red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks. drank my smoothie.

-flash back-
"hey daddy, don't you love Chicago" i said with a high pitch voice. "yes ,but i love you more than anything in the world honey bun". he said. we were sitting under the night sky with stars above our heads we were looking at the great dipper and he told stories about the stars.

-back to reality-
a tear slid off my cheek. i walked back home in silence. i walked upstairs and began to pray. "dear lord please tell my father said hello and i promise to follow you and Jesus in my life time.... Amen". i said and went to bed. i woke up.a noise woke me up. Clink! i turn to the window and i see that Jason is there he smiles and throws a letter in my window (don't open till Sunday P.S: I'M SORRY BOUT YOUR DADDY MINES DIED TO GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU BY:JASON HEFTILY
