lost

My name is Serena Howlett. I'm seventeen and a senior at Rose Valley Boarding School.

[He smiled at her.] I’m not to bad. I’ve had my share of girlfriends before.

[serena-howlett-blog]

I don't doubt it, babe, and I'd love to put it to the test. Do you have a girlfriend now? 

[easterbunny-jozet]

Wouldn’t it have been easier to borrow a bucket?

[serena-howlett-blog]

Yeah, from who? My parents? [She scoffs.] Because that's realistic, right?

[the-christian-graham-deactivate]

Mine either. All the numbers and stuff confuse me.

[serena-howlett-blog]

For me it's the equations. Like, how do they expect me to remember all that? I barely even remember what I ate for breakfast this morning.

[courtneybesterman]

Old habits die hard. I always flirted with cute guys and now I’ve got one, but I still catch myself flirting. I’m sure he does the same with girls.

[serena-howlett-blog]

Now, now. You can't just assume that he does the same. This could totally just be a one-sided thing and if that's the case then you really need to stop. Does Brandon know that you're flirting? 

[courtneybesterman]

Money’s an evil thing. It brings out the worst in everyone.

[serena-howlett-blog]

It'd bring out the best in me, that's for damn sure. 

[the-christopherwoods-blog]

Whoa, hey now. I’m not a wannabe of anybody. I’m Christopher Woods, an original. Aw, now you’re just trying to hurt my feelings. I know you secretly find me charming and irresistible, but you’re trying to keep up this bad girl image and not give in. It’s cute, though. It takes a lot of self-control, too, so I admire you for it. [His fingers continue to weave through his hair, making his blonde strands standing up at odd angles. He shakes his head, grinning] I still think my hair would look the sickest when I’m a corpse. No doubt about it.

[serena-howlett-blog]

[She mocks him in a goofy, deep voice.] I'm Christopher Woods, an original. You really are a character, you know that? I'm not trying to hurt your feelings. It's just amusing poking fun at you and--what? No, Chris, now you're off your rocker. I don't find you charming nor irresistible so stop believing in this fantasy scenario that you've created in your head. I know you want me, but fantasizing about how I want you? That's a little pathetic. [She reaches up and runs her fingers through his hair quickly, shrugging a shoulder.] It's okay, I guess. There's so much product in it I don't even know what your actual hair looks like, but it's okay.

"Jeremy" She said, a smile dancing on her lips at just the mention of his name. "Have you met him?"

[serena-howlett-blog]

Jeremy? Oh, pretty boy! Shit, girl, you've gotta take that boy home! He is one sexy piece of ass.

[b-lucky-lucker]

Homecoming is my favorite thing

[b-lucky-lucker]

And look at you. [smirks and looks her over] You don’t look like a pretentious asshole!

[serena-howlett-blog]

Instead I apparently look like someone from a Pacsun ad. I don't know. Some freshman told me that earlier, can you believe that?

[jeremy-morgann-deactivated20141]

Ahhh congrats.

[serena-howlett-blog]

Thanks, pretty boy. I can imagine with a face like yours that you're not too bad at it either. 

[courtneybesterman]

Being in a relationship is hard.

[serena-howlett-blog]

No, it's not. I mean, is it really that hard for you to stop flirting with other guys?

[courtneybesterman]

the luxurious life is all good until you realize everyone that you’re surrounded by loves their money more than anything else. It’s shallow. I’d rather be poor and happy with life than have some crazy amount of money and constantly be around people that aren’t really happy.

[serena-howlett-blog]

I think I could make it work--being rich and happy. I'm sure it's not too hard. I don't know why people get all wrapped up in the money and forget how to love and how to smile. That seems ridiculous because money would make me love more and smile more.

[courtneybesterman]

I’ve been on dates before. That’s like the same thing, right? I’m not going to end things with Brandon. He puts up with me for some strange reason and I’m not going to let that go..

[serena-howlett-blog]

No, honey, no. Being in a relationship means that you're committed solely to that one person, meaning that you can't flirt with other people. If you don't wanna let him go then you're gonna have to let flirting go. Understand?

[courtneybesterman]

Yeah, we’re dating. Thanks.. I guess..

Yes, unfortunately, I am. 

[serena-howlett-blog]

You don't exactly sound too pleased with that. Unfortunately? Stop right there. I'd kill to live the luxurious life. You're lucky. 

[courtneybesterman]

It’s my boyfriend. Did you know when you’re in a relationship you’re only supposed to flirt with that one person? That’s too damn difficult. There’s lots of cute guys that I can be flirting with right now.

[serena-howlett-blog]

Courtney, have you never been in a relationship before? Do you have any common sense about what a relationship even is? You can't flirt with other guys! How is he ever supposed to trust you? And if you really want to flirt with other guys then I suggest ending it. 

[b-lucky-lucker]

Homecoming is my favorite thing

I can laugh at all you assholes dressing up like you’re hot shit.

[serena-howlett-blog]

That's why I opted for the casual skirt and crop top combo. I hate getting all fancy. 

[the-christopherwoods-blog]

We could be the tame, legal version of them. We don’t have to break a shit ton of laws and get our asses thrown in jail. Oh, c’mon! Running away with me would be awesome! I’d keep you laughing in our darkest times.  Isn’t that what matters in a runaway relationship? [He hesitantly raises his hand to his hair, threading his fingers through his blond locks] Really? Whoa, that’s kind of insane. Looks like I’ll be a corpse with an awesome head of hair.

[serena-howlett-blog]

There is no tame, legal version of Bonnie and Clyde, babe. There's wannabe-badass teenage kids like you and then there's Bonnie and Clyde. No in between. Look, the only way you make me laugh is when I'm laughing at you, not with you. Nice rationalization, though. [Her brows raise and a smirk crosses her lips, noticing that she catches him off-guard.] You say that like you're the only one. We'll all be corpses with awesome hair one day.
