Chapter 1: The Enemy Named Emily Rhapsody
---Crossroads Junior High, Wintertime---
“Just look at that wannabe,” Emily Rhapsody scowled. She and her best friend Faith Harper were doing their usual morning make-up check when they saw Emily’s longtime crush, Darien Shields, with an annoying classmate, Serena Tsukino, outside of their classroom window.
“Why do you worry so much?” Faith asked, glancing into her compact and not even looking at Emily, “I mean, it’s not like she can actually have him.”
“I know,” Emily sighed, “its just that he is so perfect and gorgeous!”
Emily returned to checking her hair and make-up when she saw Faith gasp, her killer green eyes glaring through the window. Curious, Emily looked to see what her friend was looking at and gasped in horror. Serena, biggest loser of all time, was kissing Darien Shields, the hottest babe in town!
“No way!” Emily exclaimed angrily. She ran up to the window, pushing some classmates out of her way, and stomped her foot. ‘How does SERENA land a babe?’ she thought.
“Emily, calm down,” Faith said, running up to Emily with her make-up kit, “sweetie, you are ruining your make-up!”
“Who cares, the world has obviously ended!” Emily released her anger onto her best friend but Faith didn’t mind. She just went on fixing Emily’s trashed make-up.
“Well, it is your own fault,” Faith sighed.
“What do you mean by that?” Emily spat out ‘that’, making some of the students around her cringe.
“They’ve been at it like that for weeks, you know,” Faith said nonchalantly. “If you didn’t come to school so early, you wouldn’t have had to see that.”
“Tell me, Faith, honey,” Emily said sweetly in her fake voice, “aren’t we best friends?”
“Well, duh,” Faith said, “since second grace.”
“Then why did you not tell me the single most crucial thing I needed to know?” Emily stood up abruptly, making everything Faith held in her hands drop to the ground.
“Uh,” Faith shivered. Faith had been Emily’s best friend since forever but lately, Emily had become extremely overpowering. All the people who were afraid of Emily, such as the nerds, geeks, losers, and such, thought the only person who could handle Emily was Faith. They’re wrong. No one could and would ever be able to control her and her wild anger and jealousy.
“I’m out, don’t follow me,” Emily groaned. She stood up and started for the door but not before shortening her already short Crossroads uniform skirt.
“When did she get like this?” Faith asked no one in particular as she slumped in her seat. All the other students around her, the normal school geeks who loved getting to school early, ignored this outburst, ironically afraid of her.
---Crossroads Junior High Campus---
“I wish I didn’t have school today so I could be with you, Darien,” Serena said softly. She was leaning on Darien’s muscular arms because she couldn’t reach his shoulder.
“Me too,” Darien whispered back. This was 100 true. Darien loved spending time with Serena because he really loved her and she brought out the fun, gentle, and caring side of him.
“Ah, I completely forgot I have a math exam today!” Serena suddenly freaked out, ruining the romantic moment. Darien laughed as he watched Serena freak out over math equations she had forgotten and what her mother would say if she found out she had forgotten to study . . . again.
“Well, have fun, Serena,” Darien gave Serena his charming smile and bent down to kiss her passionately.
Serena suddenly forgot all her worries as she kissed him back. Out of the corner of her eyes, Serena saw Emily Rhapsody, Crossroads’ own personal whore, glaring at her and Darien jealously out the school windows. Serena smiled and kissed Darien harder.
“I have to go now,” Darien said, pulling out of the kiss. “Lots of term papers due tomorrow. I love you, see you later!” Darien quickly started running to get to his car, which was parked under a tree with heavy snow perched on it, ready to fall on Darien’s silver convertible at any given time.
“I love you, too,” Serena smiled. ‘My hunky college man’. She was so lucky to have a guy like him. Slowly, Serena walked over to the school gates to wait for her friends to arrive. Normally, Serena wasn’t at school this early but being with Darien transformed her into a new responsible lady. ‘Oh no, what am I going to do about the math exam?’ Sort of . . .
“Serena, can I talk to you?” someone with an icy voice asked. Serena shivered as she turned around to see Emily Rhapsody.
“Oh, um, sure, why not?” Serena stuttered in fright. ‘Oh, shoot, I pushed it too far!’ Serena said in her mind as she thought about the kiss Emily jealously watched.
“What is the deal with you and Darien?” Emily hissed. She was reeking with the smell of Sweet Vanilla, which made Serena cough.
“He’s my boyfriend,” Serena said promptly. There was no use lying to Emily Rhapsody because every bit of news always ended up on Emily’s lap.
“Well, you know what? Listen here,” Emily crossed her arms, revealing her expensive designer winter gloves, “stay away from Darien, if you what’s good for you.”
“What?” Serena gasped. “I will not be blackmailed by you!”
‘Yikes! What am I doing?’ Serena thought. She groaned, knowing she was going to regret it later.
“Well, too bad,” Emily said in her snobby shrill voice. “Stay away from him or else something might happen to darling ol’ Serena Skeeto.”
“My name is Tsukino,” Serena said meekly, trying to get out of the situation.
“Like, whatever, who cares?” Emily shrieked, making birds fly out of a tree nearby. Emily smirked and suddenly, before Serena knew it, she trapped Serena by her arms to that tree.
“Listen Meatball Head!” Emily screamed. “You stay away from him or else . . .”
To Be Continued . . .
A.N.: This first chapter wasn’t that good, I’m sorry. I promise the next chapter will be so much better. I already wrote it and as soon as I get a few reviews (I don’t expect that many since this is my first fanfiction) I’ll post it! Sorry for being so mean and cutting off Emily but that is the really good part of the story Some mild language, of course, but all in all, stay tuned!
