Chapter 1
Serena sat in lessons; the sun was shining through the window making a warm feeling flow all the way through Serena. She put her dainty hand to her cheek and looked around the room, all of her mates were talking. Molly and Melvin sat together, Melvin talking about Silk Worms and Molly cringing. She only had an hour to go before the end of the day. Miss Haruna said that she would let them out early today on account of the upcoming Christmas Holidays.
"Serena Tsukino!" Came a high voice behind her, Serena was instantly pulled out of her fantasy by the shrill voice of Miss H, she was in trouble again.
Serena turned to face her teacher, as she turned round in her seat she could see Miss H staring daggers at her. Serena swore she could see steam come out of Miss H's ears.
"24! Miss Tsukino I have had enough of your insolence, why cant you be more like the rest of the class and get positive grades?" Miss H shouted at Serena, her hand shoving the paper in front of Serena's face. Serena leaned backwards, trying to keep away from the evil test paper.
"Ohhhhh! I even revised on that one!" Serena whined, looking back at Melvin, who seemed very pleased with the piece of paper in his hand. Serena turned her head slowly back towards Miss H, the face of her teacher now bright red with frustration.
"I've got detention, haven't I?" Serena asked, looking sadly up at Miss Haruna.
Miss H nodded, her teeth gritted together, fear of saying something nasty to one of her pupils.
She turned round to look at Melvin and without looking back tossed the paper at Serena and walked slowly towards Melvin, one of her better pupils. Serena could hear Miss H's voice go all happy as she began to talk to Melvin, obviously trying to make herself happy with a Good pupil.
"OH Serena, 24, that was worse than your last score." Molly said to her best friend. Serena fell forwards and banged her head on the desk.
"My mums gonna flip!" Serena whined, sadness clear in her voice. "What am I gonna do?" Serena pleaded with her mate, getting down on her knees and pulling the bottom of Molly's blue pleated skirt.
"Maybe just give it to her and then run, you can always sleep at my house. Momma won't mind." Molly replied happily and looked down at the sad Serena on the floor. Why do you always do so badly? Molly asked Serena mentally, her face stern and worried.
"Everyone can go home, accept you Miss Tsukino." Miss Haruna said happily and walked down the row of desks to her front table. The whole class stood up quickly and instantly began talking about what they would be getting for Christmas.
Once everyone had gone Miss Haruna turned off her laptop and shut the lid. She glanced over at the only pupil she had left and noticed that Serena was staring out of the window again.
That kid is always daydreaming! Miss Haruna thought and stood up slowly, and pushed her chair back under the desk. S
"Serena." Miss Haruna said softly. Serena's head turned quickly to face her teacher, surprised by the calmness in her voice. "I think that you might be distracted from your studies." Miss Haruna walked over to Serena's desk, weaving in and out of the empty desks.
"I'm sorry, I really am, it's just… I'm not sure!" Serena wailed, she didn't know why she did so badly, but she really hates failing every test she got. Miss Haruna looked at her sympathetically and sat in the seat opposite. She crossed her legs and put her hands on her knees intertwining her hands.
"I have been thinking… I might have someone who could help you." Miss H said and looked at Serena for signs of disagreement or annoyance, but Serena only looked sorry and upset. Miss H stood up and walked back through the small seats to her desk.
She went in one of the drawers and pulled out a book, it looked like an address book to Serena. She flicked through the pages and stopped somewhere near the beginning and began writing down something. She tore the paper off the sheet and put the book back into her top drawer. She turned, smiled at Serena and began walking over to her and sat in the seat again.
"This," She handed Serena the paper, "is an address of one of my old pupils, he was a whiz at everything I am sure that he will be able to help you." Miss Haruna said happily and confidentially. "I will ring him tonight and he will be expecting you tomorrow morning." Miss Haruna took hold of Serena's pen and wrote on her hand, reminding herself to ring her 'friend'.
"Are you sure?" Serena asked, looking at the address and recognizing it as the new block that had just been built for the really rich people. Serena fiddled with the piece of paper in her hands, trying not to rip it.
"Positive, now off you go, I don't think we have much more to talk about at present." Miss Haruna said, stood up and began packing all of her bags away.
Serena picked up her pencil case, shoved it in her bag and then stood up, shoving the chair under the desk and exited the school. But her thoughts were telling her that this was not going to be easy.
She looked down at her watch and noticed that it was nearly 4 o'clock the arcade would still be open and she would be able to see Andrew. She began running at the thought, her legs moving of their own accord, so use to the fast movement.
As she turned the corner, she saw the board outside the shop near the arcade and her heart dropped. Andrew would no doubt be there in his white shirt and blue pants, his apron tied loosely around his waist. She sighed at the thought of it and began walking towards her desired destination.
She turned, waited for the electric doors to register her presence and walked into the arcade, elegantly and poisefully and then SPLAT! She tripped over her shoelace and fell face forwards onto the floor. Her nose hit the floor first and her chest and lower body soon followed. She lay on the floor not moving and heard the worried voice of Andrew.
"Serena, are you alright?" He asked crouching down next to her and managed to help her to her feet. Serena looked up happily at him, her excitement about seeing him not diminished by that one embarrassing moment. But she put one more foot forwards and fell again, catching her foot on something on the floor, her bag!
She fell and hit the floor again, this time she managed to get her arms out before her before she hit the floor on her face. Serena pushed herself up on her arms; her body still sprawled on the floor and sat back onto her calves. Serena put her hands on her knees, her head lolled forwards as she looked shyly at her hands as she twiddled with her fingers.
"Serena…" Andrew said smiling. He grabbed hold of her hands and pulled her up from the floor.
"Don't try and move her Andrew, you might go down with her next time. Which should be in about 10 seconds." A tall figure walked into the arcade, his hands in his green jacket and his black hair brushed back revealing deep blue eyes that could make any girls knees wobble… accept Serena's!
"GO away Darien!" Serena snapped back at him, she turned to look at Andrew and made sure Darien realised that her back was towards him.
"Meatball head, admit it, you couldn't walk one block without falling over at least twice." Darien said and smiled down at the blonde in front of him, "That's on a good day!" He added, and smiled as he saw Serena's fist ball. He didn't know why, but he had some kind of satisfaction at seeing her so angry.
"Go and buy yourself a friend Darien, that's the only way you'll get one." She replied and turned round, picked up her bag and turned round to look at Andrew. "Good bye Andrew, I think that I have lost my appetite." She said and turned round facing the doors, strolled out and turned to walk down the street when she heard someone call her name.
"Serena!" She turned round and saw Alan run up to her. Alan, the hunk at her school who was a year below Darien. He was the most popular boy in school and he knew her name!
"Yes?" She asked shyly, putting her bag on the floor next to her.
"I was just wondering if you had got any notes from your lessons as Anne has been a bit poorly." Alan asked as he caught up to her and smiled his gorgeous smile at her.
"Sure, let me just get them." She replied and kneeled down and began rummaging in her bag when she heard the most annoying voice.
"Hey meatball head, bowing to your superiors now are you?" Darien asked her, walking out of the arcade. "Now I should have thought of that." Darien added looking up and down the boy Serena had been talking to.
I don't like you! He thought, directing it at Alan. But Alan obviously couldn't hear him so he decided to interrogate the boy who had been talking to his meatball head.
My meatball head? Since when was she mine? Darien shook off the thought and turned to see Andrew stare at Alan as well through the glass doors of the arcade.
"So…who are you?" Darien asked, his voice clearly showing he was unimpressed. Alan turned to face Darien, a big smile still plastered on his face.
"My name is Alan." He said and held out his hand waiting for Darien to take it. Darien just looked at it and huffed.
"And what do you want with Serena?" Darien asked, moving in front of Serena to block Alan's view. But Serena was getting annoyed.
"What do you thin k you are doing?" She asked him, pushing him out of the way and standing with her back towards Alan, her face showing her annoyance. "You have no right to question him like that! YOU have no right to question him at all!" She shouted, pointing her finger at Darien. She looked back at Alan and gave him the papers.
"Thank you Serena, will see you some time in the holidays. Have a great Christmas!" He replied, turned on his heels and walked off. Serena turned slowly back at Darien.
"You have a nerve Darien, you with your sky high ego problem, just leave me alone!" She spat at him. Every word stung Darien, he didn't know what was so wrong, and he was just checking that the boy was okay, what was the big deal? He was looking after his Serena.
There was that 'my' again, what is wrong with me? He scolded himself for being so stupid. "You could never get a guy to like you meatball head, he was just itching to get away!" Darien shouted back, and knew that he had hit a sore spot.
"And I thought you couldn't get any lower!" Serena spat at him, picked up her bag and stormed off. Tears threatening to leave her eyes, but she couldn't give in to him, she couldn't let him win!
What do you think? Maybe a bit too shabby? Let me know and then i can modify! Thank you again for taking the time to read it! Lots of love bobs xxxxxxxxx
