Chapter 1
The Present Day
She walked into the Crown Arcade and headed over to her favorite video game. "Hey Serena." A tall blonde haired man greeted her. "Hey Andrew, how are you today?" She asked as she stopped and turned and looked at him. "I am doing good, you?" He asked. "Uh...okay, just majorly bummed out." She said softly. "Oh? Whats going on?" He asked. She walked over to the counter. "I failed another test today, my mother is totally going to kill me, when she finds out." She said as she hung her head. "Aw Serena, did you study for the test?" He asked. "Yes, really hard." She said as she looked up him. "Aparently not hard enough, Meatball Head." A male voice said from behind her. Serena could feel anger start to rise inside her at the sound of his voice. "Shut up, Darien, no one asked you." She growled as he sat down next to her. "And don't call me Meatball head...My name is Serena!" She hissed. "Sure thing, Meatball head." He teased. "Argh!" Serena groaned as she stormed off to play her game. "Darien, why must you pick on her like that?" Andrew asked. "I don't know, honestly, its just a feeling that comes over me when I see her." He said as he looked at his friend. Andrew placed a small black coffee in front of him. "You know she is actually a very sweet girl when your nice to her." Darien sighed as he sipped his coffee. "I have tried and plan to be nice, but everytime I see her something totally different comes out." He confessed. "Maybe you should think before you speak." Andrew suggested. "Maybe."
"Serena!" A group of girls squealed as they entered the arcade and headed her way. Serena looked up from her game. "Ami, Mina, Lita, Raye...Whats up?" She asked as her friends stood in front of her. "We have been waiting for over an hour for you, where have you been?" Raye scolded. "Sorry I had detention, I guess I forgot." She said as she turned and faced her game. "Serena, is everything okay?" Ami asked. She sighed. "I don't know, I keep having these strange dreams." "What kind of dreams?" Mina asked. "Well of this tall dark handsome Prince. I never see his face, but he calls me princess and begs for me to save him. He stands in a rose garden by a fountain, it seems all to familiar. Like I have been there before." She said. "Do you think it has something to do with your past?" Lita asked. "Maybe." She said as she looked over at Darien. The girls followed her gaze. "Is something else bothering you?" Mina teased. Serena stared at him. "I don't understand what I have done to make him be so mean to me." She whispered. "Well have you asked him?" Mina asked. Serena laughed slightly. "Are you kidding? I can't say a single word out without him insulting me, by then I am to hurt and mad to even care anymore." Serena said sadly. They all looked at eachother. Since when did Serena care what he thought or said? They wondered. "Come on, lets get out of here and get some ice cream!" Lita said cheerfully. "Okay!" Serena said happily as she stood up. The five of them walked out of the arcade and headed towards the ice cream palor.
They walked out of the ice cream palor with smiles of satisfactions on their faces. "Mmmm..ice cream really hits the spot when your down." Serena said happily. The girls laughed. "What?" She asked innocently. "Only you, Serena." Raye said. Serena blushed and smiled. They headed towards the temple for the study date when Serena bumped into someone. "Hey! Watch it Meatball Head!" A voice growled. Serena looked up at the person she had bumped into. "Sorry." She spoke softly as she stared into his eyes. He looked down at her and thought about what Andrew had said. He sighed and held out his hand to her. "It's okay, here let me help you up." He said softly. Serena looked down at his hand for a second before slowly placing hers into his. The girls watched in wonder as their hands clasped together. Serena and Darien felt a small jolt as their hands touch. Darien slowly pulled Serena to her feet. 'What was that?' He wondered as he stared into her beautiful blue eyes. 'That was strange.' Serena thought to herself. "Thanks, Darien." "Try to be more careful next time, Meatball head." He said as he let her hand go and walked away. Serena turned around and watched him walk away. "Uh...Serena you okay?" Mina asked. "Huh?" Serena said as she turned to her friends. "Oh yeah." She laughed as she started walking again. "What happened just now?" Raye asked. "What do you mean?" Serena asked. "Between you and Darien. He was actually nice to you and you didn't scream at him for calling you meatball head." Serena shrugged and continued walking towards the temple.
