~Serenity's POV~

Today's the day that my best friend Crystal and I leave this place for good, I honestly can't wait to get out of Enid. It's this little crap town where nothing ever happens, and the cops are total douchebags, I can't wait to get to California. I sighed, packing my last box before pulling on my off the shoulder white top, with my ripped jeans and white flip flops. I let my dark blackish-red hair with a jagged cut fall naturally down my back before looking in the mirror. I'm really short at five-two, with bright green eyes, my hair actually used to be brown but I couldn't stand it so I changed it. I sighed before walking outside to finish packing my truck. I put my last box in the bed between Crystal and I's cycles. I was poked in my sides and freaked out, I turned to see a laughing Crystal standing behind me. I shook my head, she is taller than me at five-four while I'm five two, she has bluish-hazel eyes with black hair and red tips, a lot like mine except her red is a lot brighter while mine blends and shows mainly in the sun. As she laughed I got a good look at what she was wearing. She had on a pair of dark wash jeans with a navy blue t-shirt that was tucked into her jeans, along with a gray fashion scarf, brown belt, matching flip flops and simple brown jewelry. I love Crystal and I'm so excited that she decided to make the move with me to California. My aunt and uncle already paid for the first two months of our rent on our apartment. They also got us a garage with the apartment so we have a place to store our truck. When she finally calmed down she pulled me into a hug and I smiled, when we pulled away she sighed.

"Well are we ready to get the fuck out of this hell hole?"

I laughed, nodding my head.

"Hell yes, get in the truck skinny bitch."

"Hey you're just as skinny as me so fuck off."

I laughed and she got into the passenger side and I got in the driver's seat, I started the engine starting our twenty one hour drive to Charming California.

~21 Hours Later~

When we were getting close to the apartment I hit Crystal making her wake up and hit me in the arm.

"Hey what the fuck was that for?"

"One for waking me up, and two for hitting me to do it, bitch."

I scoffed, shaking my head.

"We're almost there."

"Fine."

I sighed as she turned on the radio cranking it up as Metallica's Nothing Else Matters played through the radio and we sang along like the goofs we are. When we were about five or so minutes away I noticed three guys on cycles trailing us, I looked at Crystal and motioned behind us. She looked before looking at me and shrugging, I pulled into our apartment complex and they followed. When we pulled into our parking space outside our garage, they pulled in next to us, I got out of the truck and looked at them.

"What the fuck is wrong with you, I don't know who the hell you are but this doesn't work for me. I just got into town and I don't need this bullshit, so get on your cycles and get the fuck away from my friend and I."

Crystal came over and grabbed my arm pulling me back.

"Serenity, don't."

They got off their cycles and a guy with peppered hair and scars on his face came up to me.

"Listen Darlin, it's because you're new to town that we were following ya, just wanna know who ya are..."

He held out his hand and I took it.
