So, you want to get to know me? Well, I'll do my best to give you all the important information that anyone would want to know. First and far most, I'm a true Florida girl - from my tanned skin right down to my designer clothing and love of material objects. I was born and raised here, and I've never dreamed of living anywhere else. I grew up in a world of wealth, fashion and have never known any other life. Most of the kids that grew up in my neighborhood were spoiled rotten by their parents, and my brother, sister and I were no exception. We were given the best of everything and nothing less, and I guess you could say that turned me into a bit of a narcissist. I promise that I'm not always like that, though. In fact, I've grown up quite a bit and rarely ever let that side of me so through these days, though there are times when that side does still come to the surface.

I was always an adorable little girl, and often earned my parents a lot of compliments. As the years passed, I blossomed into a beautiful young woman that earned me a lot of male attention and female jealousy, and though I was smart enough not to get myself into trouble, I have to admit that I loved the attention - and still do now. The spotlight is somewhere that I like to be, and I love the attention that I get from guys. I’m also really into partying and flirting, and I always dress to impress. My life experiences and all the attention I've gotten have helped me become a very confident person, and I don't take crap from anyone, no matter who they are. I don't care what others think of me, and I will never change who I am to please someone else. I did suffer from anorexia when I was fourteen, but that's a pretty well known thing around here. Since then, I’ve never let myself fall that far again and have managed to get back my killer curves and tiny waist. My body and my looks cause a lot of jealousy and lust, and I’ll be the first to admit that I love to bask in that.

Like any typical girl, I absolutely love make up, but I don't use high amounts of it and make myself look like a whore. I only use enough to enhance my soft facial features. I'm also, obviously, very into fashion and love to shop. Because of my love of fashion, I was hired as an intern at one of my favourite fashion magazines for the summer, and that was a really great experience. I'm a quick thinker who is very witty, and I've also been told that I'm extremely charming and pretty easy to get along with because I'm so down-to-earth. I know how to talk my way out of trouble, and like to use my looks and connections to my advantage. I'm also more of a relationship girl, I don't mind random hook ups if I feel something there but don't want to commit. It goes either way with me, really. Also, I want it known that I like men, and that will never change. I also love bright colours and the beach, and hate losing. I guess you could say I'm a pretty competitive girl, and don't like it when I don't get what I want. I also hate needles, so if you come near me with one then you’d better be prepared for a full blown freak out.

Despite being outgoing and friendly to most people, I can be a bitch if I'm provoked, and my temper is really not something you want to witness. I can basically be your best friend or your worst nightmare depending how I feel about you, and can be very judgmental. I also have a bad tendency to be brutally honest and speak my mind, and can be impulsive at times. I have huge trust issues and have had my heart broken in the past, but I don't let that stop be from living my life. I've become a very strong willed person, but on the rare occasions when I fall down it'll take me a little longer to pick myself back up. I'll also be the first to admit that I have a tendency to turn to reckless behaviour sometimes, especially when dealing with problems in my life that I can't cope with on my own. I've gotten a lot better, but sometimes my wild side still shows through. But hey, that's what helps make my life more interesting, and I honestly have no regrets.

One of the best things about going to school in Newport was the amazing weather that was always present. It wasn’t like those places that were under a near constant cover of clouds and rain and never saw any sun, and Serena Mitchell was grateful for that. Rain was not her friend, and she knew that if she lived in a place that hardly saw any sun then she wouldn’t be able to stand it. She’d grown up in Orange County, California so she was used to the heat and the sunshine, and any place that was different would have felt foreign to her. She had more or less settled into a bit of a routine that suited her and helped her get through the harder days when her mind was constantly haunted by memories. She didn’t think about it as much as she had for her entire first year at Harbour, which was a lot of personal progress for her. It had been hard for her to really let herself settle back into the school because of how broken she was, but now that some time had passed, her wounds were slowly healing and she was having an easier time dealing with her incarcerated father, the drinking problems she’d had before and losing Justin - or at least enough to let herself actually enjoy her life again.

One thing that she had always found relaxing and calming was visiting the beach close to the school, which, in Serena’s opinion, was one of the nicer ones in Orange County. The white sand always felt nice against her bare feet, and though she rarely ever swam, the times when she did helped keep her cool. Mostly, she just went to the beach to escape from the school environment, which was sometimes a bit overwhelming and stressful. She loved Harbour, but sometimes she just needed a break. Today was one of those days, and she had woken up the sun shining in through her window, lighting up her dorm room in its glow. It was a Saturday, and she had gotten all of her homework for Monday done the night before which meant that she had the day to herself. Most of the friends she had were busy with their own homework that day, so Serena had changed into a bikini, put a pair of denim shorts and a tank top over top of it, grabbed her already packed beach bag and headed out. Most people wouldn’t have gone to the beach alone because of how boring it was, but she didn’t mind it. When you went to a school that very few got into, you got used to the same old faces and were really never alone which was not always a good thing. That was why she didn’t mind being there alone as much as others did.

Once she got there, she was pleased to see that it wasn’t as crowded as usual, though she highly suspected that it was because of how early in the day it still was. If hr assumptions were correct, then the place would be swarmed with people within the next few hours. So, with that knowledge, Serena decided to use the time she had to her advantage, and was going to enjoy it while she could. Pulling her towel out of her bag, she spread it out onto the warm sand, slipped off her shorts and tank top, lathered herself in sunscreen, then sat down on her towel. As she shifted to get comfortable, however, she noticed a familiar head of blonde hair sitting beside a surf board a few feet to her left. Smiling mischievously, the blonde hoisted herself up, adjusted her bikini accordingly and seductively made her way towards him, making it a point to pretend that she didn’t notice him as she walked past, flinging her long hair over her shoulder as the snack bar came into view.
