Serena's P.O.V
How selfish is Brandon being right now? I did this for him, I chose his happiness over mine at least I thought so. I honestly thought that he'd be happy if I was to go there with him. How did I not see this coming? Now i'm stuck being an air cadet and I have to go there alone every Friday. Maybe, just maybe I'd make some friends there? From what people around me are saying, the cadets program is not an easy one. I'm so used to a life consisted of me going on tour every summer, singing and dancing all year long, having concerts and shows. Not going into the woods with strangers and get killed there. I'm exaggerating of course! I don't think they'd kill me. I hate being the newbie and I don't want to break my commitment either. I'll go on my own, who knows?  Maybe I'll end up liking it...

"Leona I just can't get over it! Why would he do this?" I asked her while walking in the school to go to our French  literature class.
"How am I suppose to know Serena? I don't even know why you accepted in first place to become a cadet just for him. I mean, I get it that you want to encourage him but you basically put yourself in that position." She was right, but I don't want to admit to her.
"How was I suppose to guess that this was his plan all along?"  Seriously!
"I guess you weren't suppose to, but you should've thought carefully before accepting the offer on the spot. I'm sure it's not the first time he played you." Of course it's not! But I didn't want to say that at loud otherwise Leona would be a big  pain in my ass all evening.
"Of course I'm right! Girl you're in college, when you're a college student people expect you to be all grown up and mature even if you're not eighteen yet. As much as I'd like to make fun of the situation that you somehow got yourself into I won't! But you better make  decisions based on what you want from now on." Leona's so right.
"Heum we'll finish the conversation later, Ashley's waiting for us by the door." We walked silently until we reached Ashley.
"Hey guys, I thought we were supposed to meet each other during lunch to study ?" Oh Shit that's so true but Leona and I were so busy with dance practice that we completely forgot about Ash.
"I.. I.." I didn't know how to finish my sentence. I couldn't lie to her but she hated it when we stood her up and don't even text her to say that we weren't coming.
"We had a ballet thing to practice and we completely lost track of time... So-we Ashy we'll do something after school promise!" Leona said, she did know how forget us out of the embarrassing moments.
"OK fine!" She sighed but that's when I remembered that I couldn't tonight. I had the cadets to attend to.
"Aww I can't tonight guys!" Yep Ashley was glaring at me.
"And why is that my dear Serena?" She said sarcastically.
"Well, euhm... how do I say that?" I was looking at Leona for help but I could see by the evil grin she had on her face that I was on my own on this one.
"What Serena? What do you have to attend tonight that is more important then me? She snapped but quickly burst into laughs.Leona and I joined her, she was trying so hard time keep her seriousness but it just made us laugh harder.
"Seriously Serena, spill it out . Are you going on a date with a special someone?" She said finally gaining her seriousness back. Oh how I wish it was this. Ashley was not the kind of friend that was going to laugh at me if I told her that I was a cadet, she'd just find it weird. That's all.
"I have to attend to my first instruction night as an air cadet!"  I said quickly.
"WHAT?! She screamed but we obviously didn't have time to finish our conversation since at this very  specific moment we heard Mrs.Lambeau yelling our names to get inside and close the door behind us.we did as we were told and quickly got to our sits which were located in the front. Mrs Lambeau was sitting right ij front of us and all three of us sat right next to each other with Leona in the middle and Ash and I on each side of her.
"You're a what Serena? " she murmured.
"God Damn it she's a cadet Ash! Now can we please stop talking about that and listen to her? Otherwise she'll ask me to change sit even if you two are the ones talking." What's wrong her? We always find it funny when one of us had to switch sit with someone else in the classroom.
"What's with the attitude Leo?" Ashley asked her.
"I don't know I'm trying to understand what the woman's saying." OK!
"I'm just kidding but keep it quiet please." Ashley and I nodded bad kept talking and we burst into laughs, all three of us. We were laughing at that guy in our classroom who looked just like Voldemort? from Harry Potter.
"Leona please take switch sit with Peter." Mrs Lambeau said and we broke down laughing harder than before since now Voldemort was going to sit between Ashley and I.
"Oh and girls? If you continue laughing, you know the way out!" She said and the whole class was staring at us.
"Understand?" Calm down woman, I'm sure if she knew what we were talking about she herself would laugh. "Yes mam!" We said at the same time.
The girl right next to me gave me a paper that's say do you think you can find me a boyfriend tonight at your cadet's thingy? ;)  that's definitely Leona's handwriting. I smiled at her and returned my attention to Mrs. Lambeau.

I finished school at four thirty and had to be there for six thirty. So, I decided it wouldn't hurt staying with the girls for a little bit. We stayed at school with a few other people talking. Of course, they also couldn't believe that I was going to the cadets after school.By now I'm perfectly fine with people being shocked that I'm an air cadet. I just think that they're being a little dramatic.I mean i get it, it's not my thing but that's the main reason why i want to join them. Before i even know it it was five fifteen and i needed to leave so that i wouldn't be late on my first day. I bid my friends goodbye and headed towards the Subway where i spent twenty minutes reading my book for school. As soon as i got out, i made my way towards the the bus that'd bring me there. On my way there, my brother called me saying i didn't have to do it, i could just come back home and do as if it never happened my inscription in the cadets. Of course he wanted me to do that so he wouldn't be the only quieter in the house. Fifty minutes later, i got there. I was more nervous than i could ever imagine myself being. I don't like being the new girl but i was sure as hell gong to be one. Maybe i wasn't the only one new here today? Maybe, they recruited more people and they're coming today ? I knew the place like the back of my hand, because that's the place i used to take my dancing and singing lessons. I made my way to the bathroom to change quickly since they wanted me to be dressed with the blue shirt that they gave me and black pants. I fished my black jeans and the blue t-shirt  out of my jansport backpack. I folded the clothes that i was wearing before and put them back in my bag, quickly checked my face and put my phone on silence as i made my way out of the ladies bathroom. It was already six forty-five, shit i was late. I looked around to see if Finn was anywhere to be found but he wasn't so i made my way to the gym where more than a hundreds of teenagers were talking. Someone tapped my back. 

'' Hi, are you new here?'' The girl smiled. 

'' Euhm, Yes i am! Are you?'' i returned her question. 

'' Yes, i am too. My name is Dakota by the way. '' she said. 

'' Nice to meet you Dakota, i'm Serena.''  We talked for a bit before we heard someone yelling. 

'' Squadron!!'' Shit, everybody froze, except for Dakota and i since we didn't know anything about the cadets. We moved a bit to finally see the person who yelled squadron earlier. As soon as my eyes met his i knew that he was going to be my biggest love or my biggest mistake.
