~*Chapter Seven*~

Quietly, I sat on my bed, thinking. Shane had dismissed himself and Taylor from my house an hour ago. And even though I knew Taylor was thinking about me, I knew he was thinking about me while he was with Serenity. Of all girls..her. She was my worst enemy. When I first moved here, Serenity lived next door. She would ring my door bell a million times a minute, and she even threw rocks at my bedroom window because, on that day, I had held hands with Taylor. We were young...about 6, when Tay and I did that, so why is it Serenity and I still hate each other? Why is it she was with Taylor right now, and I wasn't. You know perfectly why. I told myself. "I hate Serenity. I hate her I hate her I hate her!" I screamed, as I whirled around on my bed and reached for my phone. My orange old fashioned 30's telephone. Forcefully I dialed Aunt Molly's number. She picked up the phone.

"Hello?" she asked. I smiled, but deep inside I knew this wasn't right.

"I'm coming to New York. And I want to leave tomorrow." I said.

Zac took a look into the kitchen, and saw Taylor sitting at the kitchen table, alone. "You told her huh Tay?" he asked, grabbing a cookie, and sitting across the table.

"Yeah. She was completely horrified." Taylor replied.

"I told you not to tell her. Even if she didn't do it with Shane." Zac mused. Taylor's head shot up.

"Whadda mean?" he asked. Zac chomped on his cookie, and pondered a moment.

"Well..I saw Shane a few days ago, and I told him about you and Serenity and how Serenity said Amanda and him..you know..jumped the gun." he replied. "And then he told me that him and Amanda couldn't do it, even if they tried," Zac paused for a dramatic force, "because they both knew Amanda still loves you!" Taylor threw himself back and stood up.

"Why didn't you tell me? I would have never accused her like that! Zac!" Tay cried, shoving his brother and running out of the room in a hurry.

Two hours later, Serenity walked down the left side of the mall, her eyes glued to one person. Me. Little did I know, she had Isaac at her side. I took a sharp curve, and headed toward Deb. One of my favorite places to shop. As I tried to cover my face, I rummaged through a rack of leather dresses. My eyes glazed over a green leather jacket. Ohhh. I thought to myself.

"Isn't leather considered a little...slutty these days?" I heard Serenity ask. I rolled my eyes and turned toward her.

"No. Only you are," I paused, and smiled at Isaac, "Hi." I said. What the heck was Isaac doing here..with Serenity? I thought Tay was dating her. Isaac smiled at me.

"Whats up? By the way, cute jacket." he said nicely. My body cringed, and before I could coldly thank him, Serenity jumped in.

"Sorry girl, but Ike-po and I are on our way to meet some friends for a movie. And we don't want to be late, you know how that is.," she paused, "Oh, I forgot. You don't have any friends, you left them to fuck Shane." Serenity mused beautifully, as she grabbed Isaac's hand and pulled him out of the store. My body heat rose, and I dropped the jacket, and quickly walked after her. No way was I letting this go.

"Serenity, bitch c'mere!" I shouted. All heads turned in the mall, and I heard someone whisper something about young kids these days having no respect. I turned to that lady and pegged her off. Ohh, that felt good. I thought to myself.

Serenity let go of Isaac's hand, and whipped around to meet me. I let a gorgeous pissed off smile grow over my lips.

"You moaned?" Serenity said, laughing. What a stupid comment, I thought as I stepped close to her, and she didn't move. I bit the side of my mouth, and I knew just what to say.

"For your fucking information, I didn't fuck Shane, so excuse me if you still resume to be jealous," Serenity gasped and I took that as a sign to continue, "And I have more freakin' friends that actually haven't fucked everyone in town." I finished, raising my hand. I swung, and hit Serenity clear in the eye. We have connection! I laughed. "Oh, and Serenity, if you think I'm letting you grasp Taylor into your little spider web, keep fuckin' dreaming. Coz I will, believe me, I will hit you again. And this time I'll actually try to hurt you!" I turned on my heel and walked away. I heard Serenity choke, and start to speak words. None to me though, she wouldn't dare speak to me or about me, when she knew I could easily turn around and belt her,..again.
