A.N. So basically I'm bored with So Confused and decided to write this, -inspired- by the abandoned story. So you may find similarities between the two. However, I will update the other one if you really want me to.
'I can't believe I got a detention on the first day back at school! Totally B.S.' Serena thought to herself as she entered the arcade after serving an hour in the principle's office writing an essay on 'Arriving to class on time is essential in order to have a fulfilled education and so must not be ignored if I want to graduate.'
"Hey Sez over here," Amy shouted from across the room.
"How did detention go?" Rai teased. As Serena walked over to their table and sat down.
"It's not funny Rai, I-" Serena was then cut off.
"Hey Meatball Head," A familiar voice came up from behind her.
'Oh my God he's here!' Serenaf thought to herself in excitement. Darien Shields, 'two words one meaning. Mega babe.'
"Don't call me that!" She snapped at him, hoping he wouldn't notice the blush that was growing rapidly on her face.
"Ahhh Meatball Head, you never cease to amaze me! You actually managed to get a detention on the first day back. You can't even last one day without getting one. That's a record now!" Darien smirked.
"As if you would know," she snapped back at him, waving her nose up in the air with pride.
"But I do. We both go to the same school you know. And just cos im two years above you doesn't mean I don't hear stuff. Word gets around, doll," he winked, making Serena's heart skip a beat.
"Hey Darien! Why do you talk to that loser, her inferiority might catch onto you. My advice is to stay far far away," Andrew came over to Darien. He also added, "Ha saw you get a detention today in maths. Sucks balls to be you Serena."
Just before Serena could respond with a witty reply, the hot waiter Melvin (LOLLLLLLL) came up to their table to order as Andrew continued to pay out Serena the whole time.
"Ummmmmm could I have a chocolate milkshake with lots of ice- cream on top and whipped cream and a cherry, one coke…actually make that 2. .a hotdog, cinnamon donuts…oh yeah and large fries with lots of ketchup and chicken salt." she replied. Her stomach was rumbling, and felt like she hadn't eaten in days!
"What about the rest of you?" Melvin the hottie asked.
"Just a coke," They all replied. Serena tried listening in to Darien and Andrew conversation and thought she had hallucinated when she heard Darien say, "Serena's not that bad you know."
'Omg did he just call me my actual name??' Serena thought to herself, daydreaming about making out with Darien, 'Maybe he does like me.'
"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were whipped dude, "she heard Andrew whisper in disbelief.
'Grrr why do they have to whisper for??' Serena continued to think to herself in a love sick daze, only able to make out some of the stuff they were saying.
5 minutes later Melvin came back with her order and the drinks. Serena stared at the food that lay in front of her, deciding what to eat first. Darien, Andrew and the girls watched in amazement as she gobbled up her food in 10 seconds flat.
"Meatball Head, how can you eat so much you little piglet. If it weren't for you Melvin would be out of business by now!" Darien burst into laughter.
"How many times do have to tell not to call me Meatball Head! Oh, that's right, your a dumbass," Serena said, giving him her infamous death stare.
'Oh Darien why does it always have to be like this between us, putting on roles infront of others, fighting and bickering all the time.'
"Darien and Andrew, why don't you leave Serena alone and pick on someone your own size," Rai spoke up.
"But it's so much fun" Darien insisted, grinning at Serena the whole time.
"You're a waste of my time Darien," Serena glared.
Darien's confident and mean nature around Serena faded all of a sudden. He frowned and put his hands in his jacket pockets, looking Serena straight in the eyes and bit his lip anxiously. This went unnoticed by Andrew and Serena's friends. Serena's eyebrows furrowed as she tried to work out what was going on with Darien's sudden mood change at what she had just said to him.
"EARTH TO DARIEN AND SERENA!!" Andrew jumped up and down, waving his hands frantically infront of Darien to try and bring him back to reality.
"Huh?" Darien spoke softly, still keeping eye contact with Serena. This totally freaked out Serena. She'd never expected Darien to act this way around her before. Weird.
'I need to get out,' Serena thought and excused herself from her friends, saying she had some homework to do. Darien just stood there watching her go and then shortly after he excised himself, saying he had to go on a errand for his mum.
"Hey Meatball Head, wait up!!" Serena heard a familiar deep voice coming towards her. She stopped walking and turned to find Darien running towards her, almost out of breath, "Gee you walk fast," he puffed.
"Hi Darien. What do you want?" Serena finally spoke, trying not to sound shy around him, or appear as though she liked him.
"Am I really a waste of your time?" Darien spoke after a long moment of silence.
"Huh?"
"In there, in the Arcade, you said I was a waste of your time," Darien almost stumbled over his words, his eyes full of emotion.
This made Serena laugh. "Why so worried?…well…sometimes I think you are," she stumbled seeing his hurt reaction to her words.
"I don't mean to be rude to you, you know. It's just, I..i don't know. There's no real excuse as to why I am an asshole to you sometimes. I mean, I don't hate you if that's what you think," Darien rambled, all the while looking at the pavement, as if he were analysing it in fascination.
'Seriously,' Serena thought, 'why do guys always do that? It's like, they find the ground so amusing especially when talking to me... hey wait…maybe it's just with me…the pavement is more interesting than me??' She was then snapped out of her thoughts when she noticed the red marks forming on his cheeks.
"Darien, shut up," the words came out of Serena before she could stop them.
The well built gorgeous man before him did as she said. He looked up with a smile starting to form on his face. He went to open it again to say something but then shut it.
"I'm gonna go now. Bye Darien," She sighed. Will he ever like me the way I like him.
As she went to turn around Darien grabbed her arm in a surprise move to Serena. The no wide-eyed blonde turned around to him and raised an eyebrow as if to ask 'What now?'
"Can we be…friends?"
After thinking for a few seconds she smiled, "Sure," and her and Darien shook hands as if to draw a truce in their fighting habits.
'Maybe I have a chance afterall.'
…………
So Serena had a secret. A big fat ugly secret. Alas she had the hots for the school babe Darien Shields. Why is this a bad thing you may ask? Well the thing is Serena isn't exactly Ms Popular. Yeah sure, Darien definitely knew who she was, cruelly nicknaming her Meatball Head and making fun of her at every opportunity as witnessed previously. Yes how depressing for Serena. However today was the day Serena would tell him how she felt. Him being Darien. They had always been arguing and fighting ever since she crashed into him on her way to the Arcade 2 years before. She now had a massive crush on him even though he was an a- class bitch to her most of the time. Especially in front of his friends. However thinking about what happened the day before where she agreed to be friends with Darien and stop fighting, Serena thought Darien was starting to like her and decided to make the first move since he didn't seem like he was going to anytime soon.
So rushing down her school hallway at the end of last period, hoping to find Darien before he left she found him with his mates hanging around his locker. His mates consisted of Diamond aka hot white haired guy, Andrew aka second best looking in the school after Darien, Malachite aka mysterious quiet dude with dead sexy eyes and Beryl the crackwhore slut who was always hanging all over Darien which drove Serena crazily jealous at times. Anyway, back to the story. So where were we? Oh yes, so Serena was walking towards Darien and his group to tell him how she really felt about him all this time. As she finally reached the group there was an awkward silence. Darien looked down at her with his piercing Cerulean eyes which seemed to brighten at the sight of her and half smiled at her.
'Damn why does he have to look so good,' Serena thought to herself, not realising she had just been staring at him for 5 minutes straight as he gazed into her blue eyes as his mates waited for her to do something.
"Umm…err…hi, hello Darien," she barely managed to stutter out, feeling very shy and intimidated by his smirking friends.
Suddenly Darien noticed his friends giving him a weird distasteful look as if to say 'What the hell are you doing?' At this Darien shook himself out of his dazed state and quickly stated a mechanical, "Hi Serena." Putting his hands in his jacket pockets, and lowering his head to the ground in embarrassment that the school reject was talking to him.
'Oh my God I could just die right now. This is totally embarrassing. What will my friends think of me now,' Darien thought to himself in a depressive like state.
"Well um-"
"GRR what is it already?" Beryl snapped, getting fed up with the seemingly mute git in front of her, who was speaking to 'her' Darien. 'He should be mine,' she thought to herself.
"Uhh," Serena stammered, suddenly regretting what she was about to do but there was no backing out now otherwise she would look like even more of a fool, "Darienilikeyoualot."
"Umm, sorry but im sure everyone including Darien cannot make out what you just said," Andrew stated, raising an eyebrow and feeling really sorry for his best mate Darien at this moment of his life.
"Sorry, Darien I like you."
"Oh," Darien finally managed to stammer out, no longer making eye contact with the nervous girl before him, and swallowed the giant lump forming in the back of his throat.
"Maybe if you wanted to go out sometime-" Serena was cut off by the snickering of his friends before her. Darien seeing how his friends continued to look at him quickly answered her.
"In your dreams Serena. Why would I wanna be with you, your annoying and I hate you," Darien grinned triumphantly to his friends as they burst out laughing.
Feeling completely embarrassed and terrified at his response, Serena just stood there and starred at him in horror. She then nodded in understanding and walked away as tears began to well up in her eyes. Serena then swore that she would never have anything to do with that guy ever again. Unbeknownst to his friends and Serena, Darien frowned and look to the ground, unable to believe how he had just treated Serena.
'I'm a first class idiot. Now she hates me. Oh well, I don't like her in that way anyway,' Darien thought to himself.
Then Serena died an old maid. The End. JOKESSSSSSS.
But that's it for now party people.
Ciao ciao.
