CHAPTER 2

HAVING FUN?

Mum dragged her all around Paris without saying a word. Serena could have sworn she went around the Eiffel Tower 28 times. Her body was hurting, and her legs couldn’t carry her farther so she just led her mum pull her through the crowd.

“Damn girl can’t you walk any more, do you realize when I was a child I had to walk 6 miles up an-“

“Serena! Don’t lay on floor, it’s dirty, do you know-

And there…on and on her mum went, talking about stupid history. It was enough that she listened to her teacher blab about it in school but now her mum. She was hearing all these noises, people walking and stepping on her-“WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING MISTER! DON’T EVER STEP ON ME!” Serena screamed.

“Dear girl don’t yell at the nice man, and you’re scaring the poor children,” her mum whispered.

“I don’t care about the bloody--

“Well…well…well if it isn’t the poor beggar!” Serena’s screaming stopped, she knew that voice, but where had she heard it. She just couldn’t recall.

“Well than smartass why don’t you answer me…ANSWER THE QUESTION LOW LIFE!” Oh now she knew who the person was but why did it have to be him she kept thinking. During the time she was thinking “the boy” kicked her back, hard. “Don’t ever kick me…I don’t want rich bastards touching me!”

“WHAT THE HELL”-

“BASTARD…HOW DARE YOU CALL ME A LOW LIFE, A BEGGER…I”LL HAVE YOU KNOW I COME FROM A RICH FAMILY!” Serena proudly stated. (just realized she came from a rich family)

“Ha, don’t make me laugh Serena. How could you ever be rich…I am the rich one, you see,” Nate presented. “So that means I get to call you a low life-

“What the hell! Anyway if I am such a lowlife, then you must be one too because I recall you telling me lowlifes only talk to others like them!” Now he was speechless, she had stricken a nerve. Ever since they were little he hated to be called weak, ugly but mostly poor since he came from a rich…make that very rich family…which happened to make a deal with her real parents and now she is betrothed to HIM! “Fuck Nate for being even born,” she whispered to herself.

“What was that?” he said.

“Not-oh that you look so handsome and that only girls…no sluts and whores would want to go out with you and that not even gay guys (a/n no offense to them) would find you appealing,” Serena stated calmly.

“Fuck you…y-you’re just a slimy bitch who reads too many damn books for her own sake…and that’s why no guy will ever like you and with the exception of your ugliness!” Nate stated. A/N: Nate is going to regret what he said.

“That’s sad Nate, is that the best you can come up and thank you for that book compliment, though. Oh and you aren’t any better yourself so LEAVE ME ALONE.”

“FINE!”

“FINE!” They both parted their own ways, for now.

XXXXXXXXX

“Hahahaha—

“Mum!”

“Hahahaha—

“MUM!! Will you stop laughing, that conversation was not funny.”

“My dear you two will make a perfect couple. Imagine yourself when you are married, oh my, that will be a sight!” her mum joyfully stated.

“Yuck, I don’t think I want to picture it. I bet he’ll order me around.” “After a month of marriage-

“So what are your plans after you get married to him?” her mum asked.”

“Are you sure you want to hear them mum?”

“Yep!”

“First we get married, he makes millions of dollars, and then I sue him for abuse-

“Are you mad Serenit-?

“Let me continue. Okay as I said, I sue him, get all the money from our accounts, and leave him bankrupt with no where to go.’” “I promise you mum he’ll come crawling back to me, begging me to take him back and I will, but he’ll have to do all the housework.”

“Such as?” her mum asked again.

“Such as cleaning the toilet and if he must insist, scrubbing and cleaning the floors with his tongue.” “What do you think mum?”

“Sounds like rubbish to me, anyway we are here my daughter.”

“Where is here?” Her mum just stared at her. “Have you not heard of this Boutique and Beauty Parlor run by the former model and stylist, Bella LaMonica?”

“Yea…she’s world famous…I think.”

“Well your parents and I happened to be extremely good friends with her and now I will show you to her.” Serena’s mother called for Bella and in a swirl of wind with so much beauty, Mademoiselle Belle graced them with her presence. “Bonjour, Com—

“Serena here hasn’t properly learned to speak French yet, my dear friend.” Serena’s mum responded.

“Oh I see. Well than let me get a good look at you,” Bella asked. “Dear god, is that her, my old friends daughter. Oh my Lord.” “But she looks like a horrid creature.”

“Excuse me!” Serena practically shouted.

“Shush dear we will turn you into a lady in a minute. (Wink) You might even become prettier than your mum,” Bella joyfully replied.

“But—

“Bye, bye Nichole, you will see your daughter in an hour or so.” With that said Bella pulled Serena in a nice cozy room, while her mum sprinted out.

XXXXXXX

Serena was nervous, she never liked facials or make up or any damn girly thing. She wasn’t like all those girls at her school. She liked to stay in quite places and read but she wasn’t bookworm though everyone jumped to the conclusion that she was. And now she was being dragged room after room.

“Come sit my dear,” Bella stated.

Without another word Serena was placed under a machine which kept making horrid noises.

“Serenity this lady here named Mina will do your nails, while Sara here will do your facials, and LaMonte’ will pick your wardrobe. Finally I will do your hair, understand?”

“Yes Ms. LaMonica-

“Call me Aunty Bella alright Serenity.”

“Yes Ms La- I mean Aunty Bella,” Serena shuttered.

“Good girl, I’ll be back in minute or so, ciao.” That lady was creeping Serena out, but oh well. Serena felt a hand on her bare foot and when she looked down Mina was opening a huge box full of different variety of nail polish.

“Which one shall mademoiselle have?” Mina asked.

“Um…that one I guess. Serena pointed to a silver nail polish.

“That’s a very nice choice.” Mina applied the nail polish and the design on it was gold leaves. Serena started to fall asleep until she heard someone yelling at her to wake up.

“Wake up dear girl we don’t have all day!” Bella yelled.

“What-

“Move your head, okay now go back to sleep.’

‘Okay” And then she was off into another world. Serena started seeing a beautiful landscape and in it was a huge castle; parallel to the castle was a beautiful waterfall. And then she heard little footsteps…no there was horse galloping towards her and on it was a handsome knight-her knight in shining armor with a gold cape waving in the air. He jumped down from the horse so gracefully, and put his hand out. Serena by instinct curtsied. “Ow!” When she looked up it wasn’t her knight in shining armor standing near her but Aunty Bella with a suspicious face. “Oh why do all my fairy tales turn in nightmares,” Serena mumbled to herself.

“So what do you think?” Bella asked. “Isn’t it beautiful?” Serena looked up in the mirror and screamed!

“Ahhhhhhh… WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU DO TO MY HAIR! I LOOK LIKE A CARROT!”

“I take it you don’t like it?” her aunty asked.

“NO!”

“Okay then we’ll try the simple look.” Serena started mumbling under her breath about how annoyingly long it takes for people to put up damn hair. Serena could have sworn an hour passed and she was right.

“You can look up now dear.” To her amazement her hairs which use to be tangled and messy now was straight raven black but the strange thing was it didn’t look normal. See looked in the mirror again and realized-

“What the hell did you do to my hair?” Serena screamed.

“Straightened it!”

“AND?”

“Well I thought you would like a new look for a change…so I highlighted some parts red.”

“DO YOU REALIZE I LOOK LIKE A ZEBRA?” Serena roared.

“Um...but a very pretty zebra.”

“That helps a lot aunty, are we done yet?”

“The wardrobe—

“Send it…I am going to go on a nice walk now. Bye aunty Bella!”

“But-

Serena went to find her mum and when she did her mum complimented on her hair…which wasn’t making her feel any better. “Let’s go home.”

“Alright Serena…he is going to love you tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow?!”

“Yes, school starts tomorrow remember!”

“WHAT!”
