All Serena wanted to do was to crack the ice around the neighborhood's best boy Cassius, get him out of his shell, teach him to live life and prove to the neighborhood that no one stayed good forever. He was the neighborhood's Golden child and Serena hated that, and she would stop at nothing to strip him of that title. What she didn't anticipate was falling in love; neither did she anticipate him changing her instead. To Cassius, Serena was an intrigue, a puzzle; something he couldn't quite put his finger on. Unlike all the vain girls who lived on the block, Serena unnerved him - he couldn't figure her out and he hated that fact. He wanted so badly to unlock the mystery surrounding her so when she started taking him out on her adventures, he made no objection. What he didn't take into account was the fact that he could fall for her and realize that he couldn't handle her. Eight years later, in a totally coincidental appointment, Serena and Cassius meet again. Cassius thinks he's been given a second chance to hold on to the woman he desperately loves and he vows to do exactly just that. He is no longer the brainless twenty one year old he was when he'd left Serena without saying goodbye and he intended to make good on his promise - "I'll never leave you Simdi". Problem is? Serena wants absolutely nothing to do with Cassius. So meeting him 8 years later, only reminds her of how foolish she had been back then, and of something of theirs she had lost. She was no longer the reckless, rebellious teenager she'd been: Cassius was a phase; she had grown out of it - or so she told herself. Question is? Can first loves get second chances?
