Chapter Two
Lita felt really bad about pretending she was too busy to hang out with Serena, but it was for her own good. She need to pass year nine in order to get into the High School that they were all going to. Lita knew Serena would never get her homework done, but at least Lita could go to the Arcade and visit Andrew the hottie, alone. She grinned and her pace quickened. She sped around the corner leaving a trail of dust behind her. She was so close to the Arcade when…WHAM! She ran headfirst into something, or rather, someone. Sprawled on the ground, Lita looked up. A familiar head of black hair and handsome eyes looked down at her. Darien, Serena's boyfriend, stretched out his arm and Lita took his hand. With one heave, Lita was back onto her feet.
"Sorry about that," Lita said, her cheeks turning bright red. She looked into Darien's eyes and smiled. What am I doing? Lita thought. This is Darien here, Serena's boy. I can't go looking into his eyes like that…but they're so dreamy…what am I saying? I don't even like him like that…
"But he looks like my old boyfriend…" Lita's eyes widened as she realised what she had said out loud.
"Sorry? What did you say Lita?" Darien asked, puzzled.
"Oh!" Lita laughed loudly and awkwardly. "Nothing, nothing! Just mumbling to myself! Well, gotta go! Bye, Darien…" Lita waved, and quickly ran into the safety of the Arcade.
There, she spotted him. Soft, sandy hair, gorgeous green eyes…mmm what more can a girl ask for? It's a pity he's got a girlfriend… Lita waved at Andrew and he came over.
"Hey Lita! I haven't seen you here in a while. Is Rei here with you?" Andrew asked casually. Lita stopped. What? Rei?
"Uh…no. She's not. Why do you ask?" Lita replied. Then a thought struck her. What if he likes her? That would explain it. Grrrr why does Rei always have to steal everyone else's boyfriends…er…I mean…crushes? Andrew pulled out a red bracelet from his pocket. It looked strangely familiar… That's Rei's bracelet! What's he doing with her bracelet? I knew it! She gave him that bracelet and he likes her!
"Rei left her bracelet behind last time you were here. I would have given it back sooner, but none of you came in until now." Andrew said. He handed Lita the bracelet and she pocketed it. Well, that explains a lot…Lita felt humiliated and dumb, so she left the Arcade straight after that. Something blonde caught her eye, but before Lita had the chance to see what it was, it was gone.
