The New Girl
Note: In this story, all the girls go to the same school, unlike the
manga and anime. I also wish to say that I don't own the characters
in sailor moon, though I wish I did!!! J/K.
***********************************************************************
I sat in this café often enough to know all the waiters by first
name, but yet I never knew any of the other costumers. It wasn’t like
I didn’t socialize or they didn’t talk with me, but I just never got
to KNOW them. I got up with a sigh.
“What’s the matter Kira?” asked Lizzie, her green eyes sad for
her friend.
“Nothing Liz,” I replied, hitting her ponytail affectionately as I
walked out the door. Everything was different now, though. I sat
down and thought back to that eventful day I met Serena.
***********************************************************************
"Class, this is Kira Chin. She is joining our class. Kira, would you
please sit next to the blonde in the fifth row. Serena will you raise
your hand to show her where you are. Good, now class.." and as I
walked to my seat, the teacher's droning were drowned by the face and
chatter of this girl Serena. Serena was exquisitely pretty, with long
hair done in a odango look. She had blue eyes to match her blonde
hair. The girl, Serena was talking to a boy with weird glasses, a
girl with shoulder-length brown hair, and a girl with short blue hair
who was also very pretty. As soon as the teacher started her lesson,
though, the guy and the blue haired girl turned their attention to the
teacher, but the brown haired girl and the blonde remained talking.
Suddenly the blonde turned to me and smiled.
"I'm Serena and this," said Serena, "is my best friend Molly."
"Nice to meet you I said quietly, both in awe of this girl's
beauty, and trying to be respectful of the lesson going on in the
front of the room. As I just sat, staring at her, she looked at me
strangely.
"You okay?" she asked.
"Oh…yeah, I'm okay. My names Kira, as the teacher said, Mrs. K.,
right? But you can call me K, is that okay?" I said, my heart in my
throat and the words rushing in a torrent. I knew I wasn't making a
good impression, but i was so nervous.
"Who are you staying with?" Molly asked.
"My Dad and baby brother," I said.
"Wears your Mom?" Molly asked. It took me a few seconds to
answer.
"Heaven," I said quietly. My family was still upset about
everything.
"Oh, I'm sorry," Molly said, almost as quietly as me.
"Hey, K, wanna hang out with some of my friends and I after
school?" asked Serena, trying to lighten the mood.
"Sure," I said. My Dad doesn’t care if I stay out after school.
My brother is in daycare until Dad gets home and he isn't home till
8:00 usually.
The school day went bye fast and I met some of Serena's other
friends.
"This is Amy," Serena said pointing the girl with short blue hair
she had been talking to this morning, "and this is Lita, Rey, Mina,
and my brother Sammy. Lita was a tall girl in a year ahead of us at
school. She had emerald eyes and brown hair. Rey was a little taller
than Serena with Raven black hair. Mina had golden hair like Serena's
and the two of them looked and acted very similar, except the hair
style. I almost could have sworn they were identical twins!
"Rey," I said slowly, "Do you work at the temple?"
"Yeah, why?" she asked.
"I just think I saw you yesterday when my dad drove past it." We
arranged to meet in front of the school and then head for the open
market and the mall. I was planning on leaving at 5, so I could get
homework done.
When we got to the mall, I felt slightly excluded, but I didn't
care, for all I wanted to do was stare at the beautiful Serena. I
knew I liked women, but this was more than i could take. We didn't
get there until 3:30 and I left abruptly at 4:15. They couldn't
understand. When I got home, Dad was still at work, so I sat down and
quickly did my homework. It was easy and I finished it bye 5. When
my mom died we had moved here and now I really missed my old
girlfriend. I went into my room and locked the door and didn't come
out for 2 hours. Little did I know, Serena had followed me home.
When I was with my old girlfriend, we used to come and make out or
more at my house after we finished homework, since both of my parents
left me at home till at least 7 o'clock at night most of the time. So
my body was used to having a lover and I hadn't had one for nearly two
weeks since my mother passed away. Add on that I had been staring at
a dream babe all day and you come up with one horney chick, pardon my
language. Now I had forgotten to lock the front door, so in comes
Serena, who hears my sound of pleasure as I try to release the pent up
feelings of the last two weeks. I was unaware that I was under
scrutiny, but I would have payed big bucks to see the look on her
face. I don't know exactly what she did, but when I left my room
feeling thousands of times more amiable, she was nowhere to be seen.
I cooked dinner for my father and I and made some formula for my
brother. He was on his way home from the hospital for the first time
when the car hit them and killed mama.
Now it must seem weird that my father was able to pack all of our
stuff, have a funeral, and fly us to Japan in two weeks, but he did it
only because we had been packing to leave for Japan anyways when mama
got hit. I was with my grandma and Dad and the baby were fine with
only minor bruises and cuts. It was a hard two weeks and it was two
weeks with absolutely no privacy.
When Dad got home, he was with a female co-worker named Lillian.
I was steaming at my father, while trying to be polite to Lillian.
It's harder than most people imagine. Through from my 14 year old
point of view this was a sin against my mother, especially since it
had only been two weeks. I wasn't very hungry that evening, even
though I had prepared the meal and went to bed early.
""Pspt! It's me Serena, by your window," a voice said as I laid
on my pillow. My heart skipped a beat. What was she doing here?
"Shouldn't you be home Serena?" I asked, my mouth finally getting
off the rug and back to it's normal position.
"Yeah, but my mom will understand. Who's that lady your dad was
talking with?" she asked. I felt anger boil up at the thought of her.
"She's a co-worker of my father's who he invited to dinner," I
said coldly.
"You know, we don't really know each other that well, but can I
ask you a personal question anyways?" she asked very quietly.
"Sure," I said enthusiastically. "You could ask me anything
Serena!"
"Well," she began slowly, "when did your mom die?"
"About two weeks ago," I said this fast so I wouldn't have to
really think about it. This question had made me have painful
memories, but the next question wounded me pretty deep.
"Did your parents love each other?" she asked. I began to regret
saying she could ask anything.
"That's a hard question Serena. Their marriage was arranged, so
they weren't given much of a choice of if they loved each other or
not, but they always respected each other and they loved me and would
have loved my brother, had she not died first," I said slowly. I knew
they had gotten into arguments, but they held a respect for each other
about the parental roles. They loved each other in that they loved
their children together. Serena seemed to understand this more than I
thought she would, and we talked long past the time I should have been
asleep.
The next day at school, I was a little grouchy, but not too bad
considering I had stayed up half the night. Serena, I noticed, didn't
show up the next day for school until just before lunch. Her excuse
was that she didn't hear her alarm go off. She smiled at me when she
sat down. Serena and I didn't have any more late night chats for
awhile, but we did hang out during school and sometimes at the mall.
During the month that all this went on, my adoration of Serena was
growing. Then one day, she invited me to her house, since her parents
were gone.
"Yeah, they went on a trip with Sammi and left me alone for the
weekend," she told me. I was so happy to be able to spend some alone
time with the woman I adored.
I came over, wearing my nicest blouse and some matching blue
jeans. I looked okay, but when Serena opened the door, she looked
great. We sat down, and Serena was talking animatedly about something
when out of the blue, I put my finger over her mouth.
"What are you doing?" she asked through the finger.
"Shh," I said quietly, and leaned over and kissed her. Suddenly,
I hear something behind me break and the brief touch of Serena's lips
was gone. I looked back, dreading a parent's early return, only to
find a college-age man staring at me
"Who are you," we both asked at the same time. Then we looked at
Serena. The boy was getting awfully red in the face and I knew
something bad was about to happen.
"Kira, this is Darien, my boyfriend," Serena said wiping her lips,
and my kiss away. "Darien, this is Kira and I have no idea where that
kiss came from."
"Serena...I'm sorry...You never told me you had a boyfriend, or I
wasn't listening if you did. Darien, I'm sorry I intruded," I said,
picking up my stuff and heading for the door, my dreams smashed into
the rubble. I was too embarrassed to look at Darien in the eye, but I
laid my hand on his shoulder to utter another apology, but he roughly
shoved my hand away.
"It isn't her fault you ass!" I yelled at him, not knowing why,
then running out the door as I felt him spin to watch my exit.
***********************************************************************
Now that I had thought about it, the reason I didn't know anyone's
name is because before now, I had always come with Serena and I had
had no need to know anyone else's name.
"Hey Kira!" Called a familiar voice. It was Mina. "Serena told
us about what happened between you and her." I cringed.
"I guess she never wants to see me again, huh? You the bearer of
bad news?" I asked.
"No on both accounts, actually," she said, her eyes dancing as I
turned to her, my eyes alight with renewed hope. "Serena wanted me to
tell you that she and Darien apologizes for the way they acted and
want to ask you to join us at Rey's Shrine for Karaoke?" she
continued.
"Of course, but when?" I said enthusiastically. Better a friend
than an outcast.
"Tonight at five," she replied. I gasped as I realized that was
in a few short hours. I would have ran off, but I saw that Mina
wasn't done yet. "Um..."she mumbled. " I kind of have a question for
you."
"Ask away," I said, feeling nervous because of her nervousness. I
had never realized how different and similar she was to Serena.
Serena would never, ever not just come out and say something. Mina
definitely had more of a head on her shoulders in that area.
"Is this about me being a lesbian?" I asked slowly. She blushed
crimson.
"Kind of..." she said. I was puzzled. "Kira... I wanted to know
if you could love me instead of Serena. There I finally got it out!"
she said looking pleased with herself, but anxious for the answer.
"I've not really even thought of it really, but with you being
such a kind, beautiful, and intriguing girl, I have little doubt that
if you work your charm on my, I'll be hoping to be caught in the trap
of your love," I said softly. She beamed and slowly, gently, bent
down and kissed my lips with an explosion of feeling like I had never
felt before. I knew that it was not Serena who I loved, but my
beautiful, beautiful Mina.
