2. All the Boys
He walked inside the arcade and took a seat by the counter. He grabbed his coffee and started to think hard…why was he missing out on sleep? Why did it feel like at times he was blanking out? He had his suspicions. He recalled parts of his nights more and more although he wouldn't admit it to himself; I mean really any one would think he was crazy if he said he thought he was Tuxedo Mask? I mean this would change everything for him. Who was that Sailor Moon girl who he kept seeing in his dreams? Or that Princess who asked for help? What was a dream and what was real anymore?
He thought about that new super hero girl called Sailor Moon. She was strong, even though she whined a lot. Beautiful even though she so often klutzed out a bit, cue Tuxedo Mask…if that's who he was. Long blonde hair, short blue skirt, long legs, red boots that made her legs go on for days, big blue eyes and her two companions; Sailor Mars and Sailor Mercury. Quite a trio. Still it wasn't so hard protecting a girl who wasn't so hard on the eyes.
"Oh Molly what am I going to do?"
He heard the whine as it interrupted his thoughts, just in time too, or he might have fantasized about the blonde super hero right here in the arcade. He looked up to see Serena, the meatball head who so often bumped into him…quite literally. She was whining to her best friend Molly….probably some failed test score again. He laughed to himself.
"What's you're problem Meatball head?" He teased, as he let a sly smile creep onto his face.
"Who cares if you know?" She stuck her tongue out at him. "Dweeb!"
Molly rolled her eyes at the two and took it upon herself to explain. "Serena's got a boy problem again…" She took the two milkshakes from Andrew who had walked in on the conversation, handing the second to Serena.
"Again?" Andrew repeated slightly interested.
"Yea, Serena has been the only girl in our school who's had like all the boys crush on her. So many boys have had a crush on her you wouldn't believe!" Molly said, and then whispered closer to Andrew. "We're all secretly jealous."
"But this time it's Melvin, Molly!" Serena whined as she sunk lower in her chair, sipping on her chocolate milk shake.
Darien looked at Serena. This meatball head was attracting all the guys at her school? I mean she was cute. Her round face, large blue eyes, long blonde hair that balanced in those two spheres on her head. Her lips sucking on the straw. He caught himself staring and went back to his coffee.
"And why do you have so many crushes Serena?" Andrew asked, handing her a second milkshake.
"Uhm…hehe." Was all she muttered, as she laughed bashfully at the arcade blonde.
"Are you kidding me? Her blonde hair and blue eyes make most of the guys at our school go wild?" Molly said.
Then something clicked in Darien's head. He almost choked on his coffee.
"You aright Darien? Andrew asked.
"Yea sure." He thought for a moment, setting his cup down. Blonde hair and blue eyes reminded him of Sailor Moon. No way! Serena was…well she was klutzy but she had no guts to fight the evil of the Negaverse.
"What I don't get, is how that hair style doesn't repel all the boys or those terrible grades?" He said as nonchalant as he could taking the last sip of his coffee.
"I'll have you know my hair is just fine! And my grades are slowly improving. I got a 50% on my last math test you know! That's …higher then before!" She defended as he left to walk out of the arcade.
He turned around and saw her through the window before leaving.
Her blonde hair and blue eyes were striking. He did see how the boys in her school crushed on her, but for now Sailor Moon was a little more his taste.
