Disclaimer: I do not own Sailor Moon or it's characters, if I could make up something like that would be amazing but it's not the case. So Sailor Moon = not mine.
Enjoy! ^_^ xx
Chapter 1
At 16 Darien Shields was every teenage girl's dream! He was your typical tall, dark and handsome fancy crush with midnight black hair, cobalt blue eyes and sun kissed tanned skin. His body was to die for with muscles and abs that were all toned to perfection. He was smart, athletic and the biggest charmer in the entire school. Every guy in high school and out of high school wanted to be him and all girls wanted to date him...well all but one.
Serena Tsukino saw herself as an average girl but that was not what others thought. For a 14 year old girl in her last year of Middle School, she was one of the prettiest girls in her class. Serena had golden blonde hair that was styled in two buns on top of her head with two long tails of gorgeous blonde hair trailing from each one stopping just at her knees. They looked just like bunny ears so her friends would sometimes call her bunny or just Sere for short. Her skin was of the lightest alabaster colour with eyes of cerulean blue that would shine with innocence and joy almost every day. She was dainty and petite with slender legs and arms as well as dainty hands and feet to go with them.
Serena was also known for her many loved but typical personality traits. She loved to eat, especially sweets and snack foods but never missed out on her fruit either. Her worst habit was being late for school and her favourite passed time was going to the mall and arcade after school with her friends. If that was anything that people loved about her it was that Serena was the kindest person you could meet, who could see the good in everyone and everything...and would most likely share it with the world if she could. Serena was also known for her innocence.
So it was your typical Friday morning and Serena had woken up late again, racing towards school as fast as she could as she whined "Noooo! I'm late agaaiiin!"
Finally making it to the gates before the final bell went off, Serena looked towards the gates with hope shining in her eyes as she said "Yes! I'm gonna make it on time!"
Just as she inched closer to the school gates she crashed into the back of someone falling to the ground with a thud "Ow! Watch it will ya!" came a deep voice
Serena bowed in apology before scrambling to pick up her bag "I'm so sorry I'm just running late again and wasn't look...looking" she stuttered as she caught a look at who she had crashed into. Serena blushed as she saw a young man with hair as black as the midnight sky and eyes of cobalt blue looking back at her. He was tall with a perfect sun kissed tan and a perfect body covered in toned muscles and abs. "Aw what a hottie!" Serena thought with hearts in her eyes
Looking at his face she saw he was laughing and shook out of her stunned daze only to asked "Um, what's so funny?"
"Your hair! Seriously nice style Meatball Head!" he teased her
Serena looked at him in shocked at how he was making fun of her "This guy isn't cute at all he's a total jerk!" Shooting up from her spot on the ground Serena shot back agitatedly "My hair does not look like meatballs!"
He smirked "Do too Meatball Head!" his words only made her even more annoyed
"Stop it you jerk! Who asked you anyway?" Serena fumed looking down at her watch "Aww now look what you did stupid jerk you made me late!" she panicked running into her school dropping her school ID card on the floor.
Picking it up, Darien smirked as he thought "Serena Tsukino huh? Looks like I have an excuse to see you again now"
Walking home with her friends, Serena sighed "I can't believe I got detention again! Seriously that stupid Haruna is out to get me!"
The girl to her right with blue hair said as she read her book "Come on now Serena you've really got to step it up" looking up from her book at Serena "it's coming up to entrance exams now you know, you do want to get into the same high school as us right?"
Serena turned to her friend and hugged her "Oh of course I do you guys, I'm sorry Amy I am trying really hard"
"I know it's a little harder for you Bunny that's why we're trying to help you" The tall girl with chestnut brown hair and green eyes said
Turning to smile up at her friend Serena smiled "I know you are Lita, what would I do without you girls?"
"Probably fall on your butt and cry" laughed a girl just about Serena's height with long dark purple hair and eyes said.
Serena stuck her tongue out "Can it Raye!"
Raye stuck her tongue out as well with everyone sighing.
A blonde with a big red ribbon in her hair and sky blue eyes hugged Serena and smiled "Plus if you work really hard my parents have said they'll throw a killer party for us after graduation"
Serena's eyes lit up as she spun round taking Mina's hands "Seriously?"
"mmm hmm! We're talking house to ourselves and everything!" Mina squealed along with the rest of them.
"Come on girls let's get our milkshake fix while we study" Amy suggested as they all raced towards the arcade.
Running into the diner, Serena gasped as she spotted the same jerk boy from this morning sitting at the counter talking to her crush, Andrew. Andrew was the boy who worked the arcade on weekends; he was tall with a slight tan, smiling green eyes and sandy blonde hair. Serena, Lita and Mina all had huge crushes on him but he saw them merely as little sister figures.
The jerk from that morning turned and gave that ever annoying smirk as she made her way into the diner of the arcade with her friends. Sitting at their usual table, it was Serena's turn to get everyone's order in. After being told their order, Serena skipped happily to the counter and said with the brightest smile "Hi Andrew!"
"Hey! Little miss Bunny! What can I get you today?" Andrew asked returning the smile tenfold.
"Can I have a..." Serena started then was cut off by Andrew as he raised his hand "Don't tell me I think I know, it's the pizza platter and fries basket right?"
Serena nodded with a giggle "Yep and..."
"And five milkshakes three chocolate, one strawberry and one vanilla right?" Andrew asked
Serena gasped "Wow your good!" Andrew laughed giving her a soft pat on the head "I just know you girls too well by now that's all"
"Oh my god Andrew you know this girl?" The creep next to her said
Turning with an annoyed glance Serena saw the dark and handsome teen smirking again as she said "Yeah actually we've been friends since I was in Kindergarten, right Andrew?"
Andrew came round the counter and gave Serena a big hug "Right Sere! But how do you know Darien?"
"That 'Thing' has a name!" Serena whined as she looked back as Darien
Darien just nodded "Just like you do but I still think Meatball Head is more fitting for you!"
"You're such a jerk!" Serena screamed as she walked up to him with her hands on her hips "My name is Serena! Say it with me! Se-re-na!"
"Why when you won't say my name? Meat-Ball -Head!" Darien said laughing as her face turned a whole new shade of red "Anyway if I'm such a jerk, why'd I bring your ID card back? Huh?" he said holding out Serena's middle school ID card.
Gasping in shock, Serena snatched it back "What are you doing with my card you jerk! Give me that!"
Holding it up over his head he smirked "What? No 'Oh thank you Darien you're so kind' or 'how can I ever repay you?'"
Serena stopped jumping for her card and huffed angrily as she looked up at Darien with a glare as she said "The only thanks your getting is a good kicking Mr now give me back my card!"
"Ask nicely and I might just do that Meatball Head" Darien said shaking his head with a smirk
Andrew just sat back and watched as Lita and Mina came over to watch with him "So are you going to fill us in Andrew or should we just watch them for now" Mina giggled
Andrew pulled up two stools for the girls and laughed "Nah just watch them for now its way too funny"
"Why should I ask you nicely for something that you stole jerk?" Serena snapped
Darien gave a mock shocked look as he said "Now you're calling me a thief? Ok one don't blame me for your klutz attacks Meatball Head you dropped it I didn't steal it! And two you should ask me nicely because if you do you might just get it back!"
Still holding it in the air Darien leaned back on the counter as he watched her jumping to reach it as she yelled "Stop calling me Meatball Head and give me my card back!"
"I didn't hear a please in there Meatball Head" Darien said
Now Raye and Amy had joined the little audiences over with Andrew and were actually eating popcorn as they watched.
"Oh My God Serena's actually arguing with a hottie!" Raye said taking a handful of popcorn and high fived with Lita and Mina as they said "You can say that again"
"Hey Andrew how long have they been arguing for?" Amy asked watching as Andrew checked his watch
"About half an hour" He laughed along with the girls stifling their own laughter as Serena was still jumping to get her ID card back.
"Oh for Pete's sake you're arm's gotta get tired at some point!" Serena whined
Darien gave a mock yawn and said "Nope but this is getting kinda boring Meatball Head so just say please already"
Serena stopped jumping as puffed tiredly "Fine! Please Mr Jerk can I have my ID card back?"
"I would've given in if not for that whole jerk thing!" Darien said as Serena screamed in frustration using a stool to steal her card back from his hands "Well unless you stop calling me Meatball Head that's going to be your stupid nickname, seeing as you fit the name so well!" Serena fumed as she ran to grab her book bag and raced out of the arcade "Sorry guys I'm going home I'll study there!"
"Skipping out on studying is bad Meatball Head!" Darien called hearing her scream back "Screw you jerk!"
Watching her storm off through the window Darien missed Andrew sitting down next to him and jumped when Andrew said "Yo jerk man!"
Putting a hand over his heart, Darien punched Andrew lightly in the arm "Damn it Andrew you scared the crap out of me!"
"Why's that because your too busy tormenting my best customer?" Andrew chuckled
Darien blushed a little and said "N...no!"
Andrew laughed as he pointed "Ha! You're face is bright red! Are you crushing on Serena?"
His head shot round to his best friend as he said "No...No way! I've only known her for one day"
"Doesn't take long to really like someone dude, sometimes you just have to see them to get hooked, I know that's what happen with me and my babe Rita" Andrew said with a knowing smile.
Looking towards the window she'd just disappeared from, Darien's thought's drifted to this morning when he'd seen her for the first time. She was so pretty with her blonde hair in those cute meatball style buns and a sailor style school uniform of white and blue with a mid length skirt and bright red bow in the middle of the chest. She was petite and slender with pale skin that Darien just longed to touch but what won his heart most was her angelic face, especially her eyes of cerulean blue that held so much innocence within them. This girl gave off a pure and innocent presence and it made Darien want to stay near her, watch her and protect her.
Andrew laughed as he saw the blush on Darien's face deepen and the smile on his face grow wider, nudging his best friend in the side "Man you've got it bad! So that's why you were driving her nuts ha ha"
Darien sighed with a smirk "I don't know what came over me; she's cute when she's mad"
Andrew pushed him towards the door "Well what are you waiting for go after her dude!"
Darien spun around and panicked grabbing Andrew by the shoulders "Are you crazy?! I can't ask her out!"
"Why not?" Andrew asked raising an amused eyebrow
Darien sighed "Because she's like 14 years old and I'm older then she is?"
Andrew laughed "Yeah by like two years dude! Seriously that's not a huge difference"
"Yeah well there's still a difference plus after that she's not going to want me no way man!" Darien sighed a little down
Putting his arm around Darien's shoulder Andrew laughed "Dude she'll be over that by tomorrow just take a chance! Go for it!"
Darien walked home that night thinking of a girl he was sure he'd driven away. Little did he know that Serena was lying awake that night thinking of the 'jerk' boy from the arcade.
