"Just Friends"
A Serena And Darien Story
"Why me? Why me? Why me?" The girl
asked as she searched hastily through her backpack for
her English paper, which was now due. Her golden blond
bangs fell into her eyes, which she tried with no avail
to blow out of her face. Serena Tuskigo, a 16yr old Jr.at
Crossroads High School in Tokyo Japan. Was thought by
many to be very pretty, with a very eloquent demeanor
but Serena was a very opinionated person and she let you
know it most of the time she said what was on her mind
when it was on her mind.
"What's wrong?" Serena's friend Macy asked from
the desk behind her. Macy was a slender girl with
shoulder length straight brown hair. She was the total
opposite of her friend, quiet. Macy was kind of tall for
her age with really no shape to help with her height. And
although she didn't have an eccentric personality, she
was a very nice person with a kind heart.
"I can't find my paper!" Serena replied
"Could you have left it anywhere?" Macy asked,
looking around the desk.
"No! I know for a fact that I have it somewhere. I
put it in my backpack last night after I finished typing
the final draft and printing up. I know it's here! I know
it!"
Serena said now frustrated, but quickly quieted down
when Mrs. Hauara looked at her from her desk in the
front of the classroom. Just then Serena's best friend
Darien Chiba looked up from his work.
"Are you sure you printed up the right
papers?" he asked.
"Yes of course, I'm not stupid you know." Serena
replied rolling her eyes.
"Could have fooled me," Darien said and then
continued before Serena could reply "and are you sure
you put it in YOUR backpack because I distinctly
remember a time you put your work in your sister's
backpack."
For the first time since they started talking she
looked up from her backpack at her best friend.
Darien was looking aroud his desk, his ebony bangs
falling gentely into his beautiful cruelen eyes.
"What?" he asked catching her gaze.
"Nothing,"she replied composing herself and
contunied "I was just wondering are you a jerk all the
time or is it just a school thing."
"All the time." he replied with not so much as
a look in her direction. Serena just shrugged and went
back to staring at this guy she called her BF. Most
people
thought Darien was a cold,mean person. *Cute* she thought
to herself but none the less cold and mean. But Serena
knew different in the seven and a half years she had
known
him she had seen past the cold, unmoved mask that he
shows
everyone else. She knew Darien had a nice personality and
a pretty good sense of humor (sometimes). He would be
perfect if it were not for his attitude (a lot of
people thought that about her also), Darien's biggest
problem was that he was blunt, even more than her, and
he sometimes hurt people's feelings (though he didn't
seem to care).
"Hey Serena!" Darien said in a loud
whisper, interrupting her thoughts. "Do ya think you
could let reality in for a sec. I mean, I know it's
hard because it's you, but here in the real world you
have a paper due in about...ten minutes." he said with
a mischievous grin and one eyebrow cocked.
Serena looked up towards the clock he was
telling the truth it was about ten minutes until the
bell, which meant ten minutes until the paper was due.
"You guys help me!" Serena pleaded to her
friends with her most pitiful look.
"Say please." Darien said with a smirk while
Macy stifled a giggle.
"Pleeeeaaaassseee!" Serena sang,looked towards
Mrs. Hauara to make sure she didn't hear. Then she
proceeded to hand Macy and Darien a folder to look
through.
"Do you often get confused about things?" Darien
asked about five minutes later.
"No" Serena replied
"Are you slow?" he replied giving her a sideways
look a gorgouse lopsided smile gracing his face.
No, why?"she asked exasperated she was getting
tired of this game.
" Then why is your English paper in your Algebra
folder? I mean I know that Algebra uses letters but not
that many." he replied sarcastically, Macy started
laughing and Serena snatched her paper from Darien just as
the bell rung.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
After school Serena meet up with her sister
Mina, by her locker. Most people said Serena and Mina
looked alike, except for the facts that Mina had cut her
hair to a little longer than shoulder length and didn't
wear it in odangos like Serena. She also was one year
younger than her sibling with a better attitude.
"Rena could you PLEASE do me a favor?" Mina
pleaded.
"What?" Serena replied bluntly.
"Andrew and I are going on our first date/
my first date, to the big carnival! But I don't want
to go alone," she rambled,figiting with her jacket zipper.
"so I really, really want you to come along. Please
you'll love it AND have a great time".
Andrew Funturia was Darien's cousin and also about one
or two weeks younger than Darien. They were nothing alike
Andrew liked to smile and to make others smile, by
telling
jokes and goofing off. He was the complete opposite of
his Cousin.
"So let me get this straight, you want me to tag
along on your date with you all night? What am I supposed
to do if you two want to be alone? Sit in a corner with my
face to the wall and hum?" Serena said sarcastically.
"No" replied Mina with a smile "that's where the
part you'll love comes in."
"What?" Serena asked confused
"Andrews's going to talk Darien into going, as YOUR
date" she replied with a knowing smile that was so big
you could see all her teeth.
But Serena frowned at the thought of going to the
carnival with Darien as her date. After all, they were
just friends he could never think of her as anything
more...could he?' she thought to herself a fanit blush
growing as she tought about it.
"Well?" Mina asked, "come on, you know you like him,
and"
SHHHH!" Serena cut her off, then looked around to
make sure no one heard her. The school was virtually
empty except for the ROTC going out to practice and a
janitor going in and out of the classrooms. "Ok I'll do
it" she replied still looking around.
"YES!" Mina exclaimed with a huge smile on her face.
Serena quickly added, "But not because I like him or
any thing like that," the blush on her face growing hotter
"because we're just friends. I know that and he knows
that," Mina nodded slightly with a somewhat serious look
on her face, although she looked as though she would
break back into that huge smile at any minute. " I'm
doing
this because you're my sister" she continued ignoring
Mina and tring to get rid of that stupid light pink
huge
on her face. "and now you owe me BIG!" and with that
Serena walked off.
'Hopefully if all goes well I'll owe you though' she
thought to herself then she stopped to let Mina catch up
with her.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
Serena tore her room apart looking for
her blue halter-top. It was three ten and Andrew told
Mina last night that he and Darien would be there at four
to pick them up.
"I know it's here," she said to herself.
"Talking to yourself again?" Mina
asked, Serena turned to see her at the door in a
short,
blue Chinese style dress (strapless) that clung to her
body like a second skin. Her blue shoes strapped up to
her knees and acsentuated her long legs.(AN:
Gomen
I'm still not good with clothing descriptions) She
also
had on a black choker with a matching arm band.
"I cannot find my halter top that
goes
with this outfit," Serena wined looking
under her bed. Then she stopped and
looked
at her sister " YOU wouldn't know where it is, would
you?"
she asked
eyeing Mina suspiciously.
"No" she replied exasperated.
"Well help me look" Serena said
and
dismissed all thoughts of Mina having
her top.
"Why don't you wear something
else?"
Mina asked
"Because I don't want to and
shouldn't. . . . Ahhh here it is." Serena finished
after finding it behind the dresser
"Now
get out so I can get dressed."
"Whatever" Mina said and left
the
room closing the door behind her.
Twenty minutes later when Serena emerged,
Mina could see why Serena wanted
to wear the outfit. The sparkly meatlic blue
brought
out her clear blue eyes immensely. The short skirt
showed off her long legs and the halter top was cut low
enough to show a little cleavege but high enough to
reveal
her glittered abs. Soft curls fell into her face
from her bangs only which enhanced her beauty and her
odangos had pretty metallic blue butterfly clips on them.
"Well?" Serena asked spinning around.
"You look great." Mina replied, shaking her head in
wonder she had never seen Serena so dressed up (but she
knew why, tonight was different). "Hey sis, do you think
I
can borrow that outfit sometime?" she said witha smile.
"No." Serena replied bluntly.
"That's ok, it wouldn't have the
same
effect after Andrew saw you in it any
way. Although it would only look
better
on Me." she said with a small smile playing on her
lips.
Serena picked up a pillow offof the couch and
threw it at her sister. Mina dogged it quite easily and
laughed as they both sat on the couch to watch TV until
the guys show up.
Around three forty-five the doorbell
rang, Mina and Serena got up to
answer it. Their parents had already left for the
day.
When Mina opened the door
Andrew and Darien stood looking just as good as the
girls. Andrew was wearing a white shirt with small black
stripes that was hanging loosly off his lean frame. Black
slacks and white FUBU shoes. Darien had on a black FUBU
jersey which clung to his muscular chest in ALL the
right places. He also had on black wide legs jeans and
black shades (on his head)and black Nike tennis
shoes. As they walked in Andrew looked at Mina.
"You look beautiful." he said with
and
award winning smile.
"And you look Great." she replied
with
what in Serena's opinion was a
stupid looking smile on her face.
Serena tuned out the rest of
the
conversation and looked at Darien, who was
tilting his head with an expression on his face she
couldn' t quite make out. And before
she had a chance to it was gone, and he was looking
at
Mina and Andrew making goo goo
eyes at each other (there was no better way to
explain
their stupid lovey-dovey expression).
"Let's go." Darien said and
walked out of the door without looking back. Serena,
Andrew, and Mina followed him and to Serena's surprise
Darien held the door to the silver Ford Explorer open for
her before going to his side.
'This is going to be a very interesting night' Serena
thought to herself with a small smile on her pink lips as
she lent over to unlock Dariens's door.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
They had been at the carnival for
almost four hours now Andrew had won Mina two small
stuffed animals and was trying on his third. Serena turned
her head to look at Darien and could have *sworn* he
was
staring at her. Darien was watching Andrew try to
knock the bottles off of the table to win Mina a big
white stuffed bear. He refused to play the games at the
carnival because he thought they were either stupid or
fixed.
Darien looked at Serena, she was smiling at Mina as
she cheered Andrew on. He finally gave up after
spending about twelve dollars, on the game. Mina
protested because it was the only stand in the carnival
with big soft bears (not the type with the styrophome but
with cotton) but Andrew told her for twelve dollars he
could by her a bear. Mina then suggested that they go to
the haunted house,which they all agreed on except Darien
who huffed his breath and rolled his eyes.
"What?" Andrew asked
"I don't want to go into that stupid haunted house.
It's been the same for the past four years, I can't
believe you want to waste your money on that crap"
he said spitefully with his arms crossed over his broad
chest.
That was it Serena had had enough.
"You know," she said with blue flames jumping in her
azure eyes, "you have been
nothing but
a jerk since we got here. You criticize the games,
the
food, the rides, and the people. Frankly I'm tired
of
it, if you don't want to be here fine, you didn't
HAVE to
come, but since you're here why don't you shut up
and let
the rest of us have a gook time. God I can't
believe I
thought I liked you!"
"You thought you LIKED me?"
Darien said tilting his head in that oh-so cute way
with a small smirk playing on his soft lips. "What
do you mean LIKE?"
"What do you think I mean you
idiot?" Serena said her eyes going from fire to ice in
a
matter of seconds. "Besides the key word here is LIKED
not
LIKE, so why don't you just stay here and be a jerk by
yourself, with yourself. I'm going to the haunted
house."
With that Serena turned her golden pigtails flying
defiantly behind her and pushed her way through the crowd
and out of Darien's sight. Andrew and Mina followed but
couldn't help noticing the puzzled yet satisfied look on
Darien's handsome face.
Serena walked through the haunted
house alone with Andrew and Mina about a minute or two
behind her. 'Why do I let him get to me like this, I mean
I don't like Darien THAT much, he's such a jerk and
after all with the way he's been acting he obviously
doesn'tlike me.' Serena's thoughts were interrupted by
Mina's scream and playful giggle ' he was right about one
thing though,' she thought as she neared the exit 'this
lame haunted house hasn't changed one bit since it joined
this carnival. She pushed one last plastic bat aside
and waited for Andrew and Mina out side of the door her
pigtails slightly draging on the ground.
After leaving the haunted house
they stopped to get Mina some cotton candy, then went
back to where they had last seen Darien to let him know
they were ready to go. They looked for him for about
ten minutes and just as Serena was about to give up he
emerged out of the crowed.
"Hey, so were ready to go, are you?"
Andrew asked.
"Sure" Darien replied then looked at Serena
with a knowing smirk on his face his sapphire eyes
sparkling with a certain impishness."So how was the
spooky *HAUNTED* house?"
Serena rolled her eyes doing her best to
ignore him and walked away, everyone else followed her
lead. When they got to the Explorer Darien didn't open
her door for her but instead
pressed the unlock button on the key-chain and went
around to his side. Serena looked at him, then
opened her
OWN door, but before she could sit down she noticed
a big
stuffed bear in her seat. She recognized it as the
bear
Andrew and tried to win for Mina but couldn't.
Serena
looked at Andrew who had a grin, his blue eyes
twinkling and Mina who had her
huge
smile as she climbed into the back seat. Serena then
looked at Darien who wasn't looking at her but
straight
ahead, waiting for her to get in. She picked up the
bear
and put it in her lap as she got in the truck. After
she
put on her seatbelt they pulled out of the parking
lot
and started towards their home. After about five
minutes
of silence Serena finally built up enough nerve to
talk
to Darien.
"So, you won this?" she asked
"Yes." he replied making no
attempt to
even look in her direction.
"I thought you said the games were
stupid?"
Serena asked.
"I did and I do." Darien stated simply.
"Oh." Serena said then looked down
"Did you
win it on your first try?"
"NO"
"How much did you spend?"
"About" Darien paused for a second, and
licked his lips then
continued "about thirty dollars."
Andrew gasped and Mina did her huge grin again.
"Why?" Serena asked staring at Darien
For the first time since they left the carnival he
looked at her with his deep blue eyes his ebony hair
once again falling into them.
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Because" he continued "I knew you wanted it." he
said
with a small smile that was neither mischievous nor
evil,
but sweet. They rode the rest of the way home in
silence
with Andrew and Mina cuddled in the back seat, and
Serena's left hand over Dariens's right.

"Just Friends"
A Serena And Darien Story
"Why me? Why me? Why me?" The girl
asked as she searched hastily through her backpack for
her English paper, which was now due. Her golden blond
bangs fell into her eyes, which she tried with no avail

break back into that huge smile at any minute. " I'm

huge

Serena walked off.

thought to herself then she stopped to let Mina catch up
with her.

Serena tore her room apart looking for

what in Serena's opinion was a
stupid looking smile on her face.
Serena tuned out the rest of
the
conversation and looked at Darien, who was
tilting his head with an expression on his face she
couldn' t quite make out. And before
she had a chance to it was gone, and he was looking
at
Mina and Andrew making goo goo
eyes at each other (there was no better way to
explain
their stupid lovey-dovey expression).
"Let's go." Darien said and
walked out of the door without looking back. Serena,
Andrew, and Mina followed him and to Serena's surprise
Darien held the door to the silver Ford Explorer open for
her before going to his side.
'This is going to be a very interesting night' Serena
thought to herself with a small smile on her pink lips as
she lent over to unlock Dariens's door.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
They had been at the carnival for
almost four hours now Andrew had won Mina two small
stuffed animals and was trying on his third. Serena turned
her head to look at Darien and could have *sworn* he
was
staring at her. Darien was watching Andrew try to
knock the bottles off of the table to win Mina a big
white stuffed bear. He refused to play the games at the
carnival because he thought they were either stupid or
fixed.
Darien looked at Serena, she was smiling at Mina as
she cheered Andrew on. He finally gave up after
spending about twelve dollars, on the game. Mina
protested because it was the only stand in the carnival
with big soft bears (not the type with the styrophome but
with cotton) but Andrew told her for twelve dollars he
could by her a bear. Mina then suggested that they go to
the haunted house,which they all agreed on except Darien
who huffed his breath and rolled his eyes.
"What?" Andrew asked
"I don't want to go into that stupid haunted house.
It's been the same for the past four years, I can't
believe you want to waste your money on that crap"
he said spitefully with his arms crossed over his broad
chest.
That was it Serena had had enough.
"You know," she said with blue flames jumping in her
azure eyes, "you have been
nothing but
a jerk since we got here. You criticize the games,
the
food, the rides, and the people. Frankly I'm tired
of
it, if you don't want to be here fine, you didn't
HAVE to
come, but since you're here why don't you shut up
and let
the rest of us have a gook time. God I can't
believe I
thought I liked you!"
"You thought you LIKED me?"
Darien said tilting his head in that oh-so cute way
with a small smirk playing on his soft lips. "What
do you mean LIKE?"
"What do you think I mean you
idiot?" Serena said her eyes going from fire to ice in
a
matter of seconds. "Besides the key word here is LIKED
not
LIKE, so why don't you just stay here and be a jerk by
yourself, with yourself. I'm going to the haunted
house."
With that Serena turned her golden pigtails flying
defiantly behind her and pushed her way through the crowd
and out of Darien's sight. Andrew and Mina followed but
couldn't help noticing the puzzled yet satisfied look on
Darien's handsome face.
Serena walked through the haunted
house alone with Andrew and Mina about a minute or two
behind her. 'Why do I let him get to me like this, I mean
I don't like Darien THAT much, he's such a jerk and
after all with the way he's been acting he obviously
doesn'tlike me.' Serena's thoughts were interrupted by
Mina's scream and playful giggle ' he was right about one
thing though,' she thought as she neared the exit 'this
lame haunted house hasn't changed one bit since it joined
this carnival. She pushed one last plastic bat aside
and waited for Andrew and Mina out side of the door her
pigtails slightly draging on the ground.
After leaving the haunted house
they stopped to get Mina some cotton candy, then went
back to where they had last seen Darien to let him know
they were ready to go. They looked for him for about
ten minutes and just as Serena was about to give up he
emerged out of the crowed.
"Hey, so were ready to go, are you?"
Andrew asked.
"Sure" Darien replied then looked at Serena
with a knowing smirk on his face his sapphire eyes
sparkling with a certain impishness."So how was the
spooky *HAUNTED* house?"
Serena rolled her eyes doing her best to
ignore him and walked away, everyone else followed her
lead. When they got to the Explorer Darien didn't open
her door for her but instead
pressed the unlock button on the key-chain and went
around to his side. Serena looked at him, then
opened her
OWN door, but before she could sit down she noticed
a big
stuffed bear in her seat. She recognized it as the
bear
Andrew and tried to win for Mina but couldn't.
Serena
looked at Andrew who had a grin, his blue eyes
twinkling and Mina who had her
huge
smile as she climbed into the back seat. Serena then
looked at Darien who wasn't looking at her but
straight
ahead, waiting for her to get in. She picked up the
bear
and put it in her lap as she got in the truck. After
she
put on her seatbelt they pulled out of the parking
lot
and started towards their home. After about five
minutes
of silence Serena finally built up enough nerve to
talk
to Darien.
"So, you won this?" she asked
"Yes." he replied making no
attempt to
even look in her direction.
"I thought you said the games were
stupid?"
Serena asked.
"I did and I do." Darien stated simply.
"Oh." Serena said then looked down
"Did you
win it on your first try?"
"NO"
"How much did you spend?"
"About" Darien paused for a second, and
licked his lips then
continued "about thirty dollars."
Andrew gasped and Mina did her huge grin again.
"Why?" Serena asked staring at Darien
For the first time since they left the carnival he
looked at her with his deep blue eyes his ebony hair
once again falling into them.
"Because."
"Because what?"
"Because" he continued "I knew you wanted it." he
said
with a small smile that was neither mischievous nor
evil,
but sweet. They rode the rest of the way home in
silence
with Andrew and Mina cuddled in the back seat, and
Serena's left hand over Dariens's right.
