Hey guys!
So I found this on my flashdrive from almost 10 years ago! I've been reading through and editing it but this is my first and only try at drabbles so please bear with me on this one. I forget what this challenge was called but I know its 100 quotes from different movies. It was posted years ago on when the website smfanfiction was still up and of course 14 year old me thought I could do it and complete it... obviously not since I'm now 23 and still haven't made it past 6 chapters XD. BUT I am now picking up on this and I am hoping that this can help me get over some of my writer's block on The Tutor. So I hope you guys enjoy this while you wait for the next chapter to The Tutor
Chapter Three: 75.) "Is this you not arguing? Cause you suck at it." - Miss Congeniality
Darien and Andrew were at the counter sitting and talking with each other.
It was rounding closer and closer to the time when Serena and the girls would be coming into the arcade for their daily routine. And boy was Darien dreading the moment of when Serena would just walk right through those automatic glass doors and they would be starting up one of their daily routines. In other words, one of them would set themselves up and the other would insult the one who set themselves up and the argument would just start up in flames from there.
Truth be told, behind all of the name calling and insulting words that he says to her, Darien actually likes Serena… more than friends. Yes I guess that you could say that they are somewhat friends because once every other month those two do actually have a decent conversation. And he likes that side of her.
"Dude, you totally have it bad for her." Andrew stated and Darien just rolled his eyes. Andrew had been trying to get his attention for the past five minutes but Darien wouldn't budge and he just kept on staring at the front doors waiting for a certain blonde to just pop right in.
"What are you talking about Drew?" Darien asked with a little bit annoyance in his voice.
"I know that you like Serena!" Andrew whispered in a low tone.
"What makes you think that?" Darien asked with fake disgust in his voice. He just couldn't believe that his best friend could read him so easily!
"Simple, you two fight all the time, but there are those special occasions when you two have a conversation with no fighting. I bet if you stop insulting her and arguing, she could like you back and you two will live happily ever after!"
"Have you been reading fairy tales to your little sister and those stupid teen magazines to Rita again?"
"Sort of…"
Andrew blushed and Darien just laughed at his best friend.
"Just try to be nice to her, and please for the sake of my ears; please, do not argue today!" Andrew said with a lot of not really needed exasperation.
"Fine! I'll try to be civil… just for today!" said Darien.
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"Fi-"
"What are you two yelling about?!" Serena interrupted Darien as he was just about to yell back at Andrew.
"Hi Serena," said Andrew.
"Hey Andrew," Serena said with a bright smile on her face. 'Today must have been a good day for her…' Darien mused in his head.
"Hey Darien,"
'She's even being nice to me in front of Andrew! Wow I wonder what happened…' Darien thought and just stayed quiet.
He went to say something but nothing came out. He tried again, but he just kept getting the urge to insult her about her hair. So he just stayed quiet.
"Um… okay… hey Andrew, can the girls and I get two chocolate, two vanilla and one strawberry milk shakes?"
"Yeah, sure Serena. Coming right up!" and with that said Andrew left to the kitchen of the arcade to make the girls their refreshing drinks.
He was staring at her and just couldn't resist the urge to say it.
"Meatball Head," and right when he said those two words Darien quickly scolded himself.
"Is this you not arguing? Cause you suck at it," Serena stated and then just looked at him with amusement in her eyes as she watched Darien's face turn shocked and nervous.
"You over heard that?" Darien stuttered and boy was he nervous!
"Well just something about Andrew telling you not to argue with me today. But I'll say it again, you're sucking at it today," and with that said Serena walked back to the booth that she and her friends always sit at.
Andrew gave the girls their drinks and he had overheard Serena tell Darien off earlier so he went to go confront his very good friend.
"Drew… I blew it." Darien stated.
"What do you mean?" Andrew asked.
"She overheard us talking…" Darien said in a low tone.
"Well I kind of have to agree with her… you do suck at not arguing." Andrew stated and Darien playfully slapped his best friend on the arm and then changed the subject of their conversation.
