Serena danced around her room to Nsync that was blaring on her CD player.
"What's the matter? Are you drunk?" asked Endymion's voice. He appeared sitting in one of her chairs.
"No it's called dancing," protested Serena.
"Dancing?! Ha!" he laughed.
"With that attitude I can defiantly say that you're not the life of the party," said Serena sarcastically.
"I'll have you know that when I was alive I was," protested Endy with a smile.
"And what makes you think I believe that in a minute?" asked Serena with her hands on her hips.
"During the balls I had many young ladies heart all aflutter," said Endy with a smile. Serena could believe it. He had the looks of a movie star. If he was alive she wouldn't mind finding herself wrapped in his arms. But he wasn't. She looked at him pretending she wasn't convinced.
"Well apparently they weren't attracted to your humility," teased Serena. She looked into his blue eyes on to have her heart stop. Endy let out a low chuckle and brushed back his ebony bangs from his eyes. Serena grinned and turned off her CD player. Endymion walked over to the other side of the room in front of a mirror. Serena shivered as she discovered he had no reflection.
"You know it is funny, I never believed in ghosts until I became one," said Endymion humorlessly.
"I didn't believe in them either until I fond one in my room," exclaimed Serena watching him intently. He turned and gave her a little smile.
"So why did your brother have you kick the bucket? You don't have to answer," spoke up Serena.
"Kick the bucket? You mean killed?" he asked looking confused. Serena nodded. "Well he didn't like me and a certain fiancée of his having a secret romance. We planned to run away together until he found out and had me done away with," explained Endymion.
"That sounds like something straight from a movie," remarked Serena. Endy grinned.
"Movie huh? That's real life where I came from. People were found dead a lot of times," said Endy sounding eerie. Serena shivered again. There was a pounding on the door.
"Want me to scare her?" asked Endy with a grin. Serena gave him a dirty look and answered the door.
"Head Mistress wants to see you Charity Girl," said a tall girl. She was part of Elizabeth's little group. Serena let out a groan thinking of all the stuff that Elizabeth accused her of.
Serena stepped into the head mistress's office quietly. She groaned inwardly but put on a smile. Her relatives were here.
"Sabrina," started her aunt.
"My name is Serena," said Serena dryly trying to hide her annoyance.
"Oh yes, that's it. You see her mother never had a taste for names," chattered Aunt Angelica to the head mistress. Serena clinched her fists to hide her anger.
"So why did you call me here?" asked Serena.
"Serena! Such manners! I told my brother not to move there! Those Americans were born rude," exclaimed Aunt Angelica. She was a richly dressed woman. She looked like one of those secretary's that the boss always had an affair with in the movies. Her designer shirt revealed more then Serena thought it should.
'Oh what a person can do with a few million dollars and plastic surgery,' thought Serena. Serena watched as Angelica shivered a bit and pulled her jacket around her a bit more tightly.
"It is cold here don't you think, Victoria?" asked Angelica to the head mistress.
"It comes from living in such a drafty building," explained Victoria Hudson.
"Well I've been told that you have been making trouble here. One order mark, 2 punctuality marks and about half a dozen grammar marks," said Ms. Hudson. Serena crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.
"Well explain yourself young lady," demanded Angelica. Serena stared at her with her mouth dropped in shock. "Well I am waiting," said Angelica.
"Tell her to mind her own business and go home," said Endy who appeared in one of the chairs.
"I don't see why I must, I mean after all your not my mother," said Serena completely aware of both women's disapproving looks.
"Well close enough," said Endy giving her an encouraging smile. He was not making this any better.
"For disrespect that'll be another week of kitchen duty," yelled Ms. Hudson, her face nearly purple with fury.
"In all my years I have never seen such imprudent girl. This school is well known of its ladies. Each one of the head mistresses before me shares one unmistakable quality and that is..."
Endy interrupted her. "They died," he remarked. Serena suppressed a laugh with a cough and had to bite her lip to keep from giggling.
"They have reformed fine ladies worthy of social conduct. YOU are going to take a lot of work," finished the head mistress. Serena nodded keeping a straight face and left. Angelica took Serena by the ear and dragged her over to a corner.
"Now listen brat I'll have none of that talk. You're lucky that good old grand dad left you in his will and paid for your education in advance before gramps departed," said Angelica.
"You're just jealous because he didn't leave you anything," spat Serena.
"I waited for years to have that old geezer pass away and you won't stand in my way, or I'll make your life a living.." But Serena interrupted.
"No cussing here. Old Bankstone rule," said Serena smugly.
"Smooth, can I scare her now?" asked Endy who appeared behind Angelica. Serena smiled and nodded.
"Well I should be going to study hall," said Serena who turned to leave. There was a screech of protest when Angelica found herself being pushed out the door. Serena smiled, "Way to go, Endy." Endymion appeared beside her.
"You didn't do so bad yourself," said Endymion. Serena's smile soon turned to a frown as she opened the door. All her lovely posters had been ripped off the walls and now lay in shreds on her bed. Her romance novels were also torn apart. Her CDs lay broken on the floor. Endymion looked at Serena. She looked paler than he was.
"Don't faint," commanded Endy.
"I don't faint. I can't believe this, why do they do this to me?" asked Serena. Amazingly she didn't cry but started picking up the pieces.
"Hand me the tape, Endy. It's in the top drawer," said Serena. Endy gave it to her and she started taping together her posters. Endymion clenched his teeth in anger. These girls were going to get more than they bargained for more. Endymion stopped suddenly. Why should he care? Could he be falling for her? No that would be impossible ghosts aren't supposed to fall in love. Wasn't that the rule?
