Chapter Four - Heart Breaker

Serena stared on the expensive and inappropriately placed golden clock hanging off the wall of her English classroom. Mr Powers was reading the class out a poem he thought would be useful when it came down to their exams but Serena had stopped listening a long time ago.

It had been days since Serena had seduced Mr Powers. She had won the bet easy, but Rhonda wasn't begging for an out. It was almost as if Rhonda wanted Serena to win, but then again, who wants an excuse to go naked to a school dance? It made no sense.

Another thing that was bugging Serena was Mr Powers. Ever since that night he had been giving her these looks. Serena didn't like those looks, they were the looks that Nate had given her even though he was dating Blair, they were the looks that any boy who fell for her used to try and make eye contact. And, as she had done with every other boy and man who had given her that look, Serena avoided him. She never handled feelings well anyway. In fact Derek had to be the only person who she could ever handle her feeling with anyway. He was teaching her slowly how to relax and not live life like it's one huge party.

That was another thing that was on her mind a lot lately. Derek was so sweet and great. He looked at her and he didn't see the hot girl, he saw the beautiful woman. No one had ever looked at her in that way before, and yes it scared her a little but all she knew was that she wanted to spend every waking moment with him. The only problem was that whenever she was around him she felt guilty. Guilt wasn't new to Serena, she had done plenty of things to feel guilty about. In fact, guilt was the main reason she came to Cheshire in the first place. But she didn't think she should feel guilty around Derek. After all, she had warned him about the consequences that came with falling for her. She was dangerous and she made sure he knew it so it should be his fault for sticking around. But it didn't matter how many times Serena told herself that, she still felt disgusted with herself for what had happened between her and Mr Powers. And the fact that Mr Powers was Derek's favorite teacher did not help at all. Derek loved English class. And whenever he looked back at her from his seat and winked flirtatiously at her, Serena just thought about what she had done with Mr Powers, and about the looks he was probably giving her at that very moment.

People had always told Serena that it wasn't smart to sleep with teachers. Now, she finally understood why.

"Miss Van Der Woodsen, what do you think of the poem?" Mr Powers asked making Serena lose her train of thought. He looked at her with those insanely bright eyes, the ones that were probably picturing her naked right now. Serena shuddered. She could see Rhonda smirking beside her from the corner of her eye.

"It's okay I guess" Serena answered. It was Serena's way of giving her opinion on something she wasn't paying any attention to, or she didn't have an answer for.

"Okay?" Mr Powers repeated. He obviously knew she wasn't paying attention, it had been the seventh time he'd caught her out in the last few days.

"Well, it used some very nice words" Serena tried.

"Like what?" Mr Powers quizzed her. Serena glanced down at her book catching a glimpse of a few words.

"Adultery" Serena read the first word she saw. Rhonda snorted at the irony. Mr Powers also smirked but wiped it away quickly.

"And what appeals you to that word?" Mr Powers asked, now he couldn't hide his smirk.

"Life" Serena answered simply. She could feel the eyes of every student on her. They were all dying to find out whose husband she had slept with.

"Personal experience?" Mr Powers asked, smirk turning to grin.

"My mom has had her fair share of cheating husbands" Serena answered not sharing the same amusement for the inside story as Rhonda and Mr Powers. The grin went off his face at that. He understood that she didn't want to share this with the class, even if the rest of them didn't really know the truth behind the conversation.

"Alright, Miss Lewis" Mr Powers began, turning his attention to Daisy. "What is you opinion of the poem?"

"Well I thought that the whole story of a woman cheating on her husband with another woman was very interesting" Daisy answered in her simple cookie-cutter way.

"Of course you do" Rhonda muttered under her breath. Serena looked at her with an inquisitive look. Daisy hadn't heard Rhonda but Serena had and now the curiosity was racking her brain.

"What are you talking about?" She whispered to Rhonda.

"Nothing, private joke" Rhonda said. Serena knew it wasn't a joke. Serena had at least one private joke with all her friends so she knew a private joke when she saw one. She and Blair had many private jokes about practically everything. She had private jokes with Chuck about dirty things most teenagers wouldn't even think of, and also about Nate's silly I'm so innocent puppy dog look. And she had private jokes with Nate about all the times Chuck got shot down by a girl.

So Serena was certain that it wasn't a private joke but she didn't say anything.

"And what exactly interests you about it?" Mr Powers asked.

"I'm not sure" Daisy answered but she had a nervous expression on her face.

"Well in your exams you're going to have to give an explanation for most of your answers" Mr Powers explained to the class. Daisy opened her mouth to give him an answer in her usual goody-two-shoes attitude but the bell rang for lunch.

"Looks like you're saved by the bell Miss Lewis" Mr Powers said.

The class started to clear off. Serena the first one to get out of her seat but Mr Powers stopped her.

"You stay back after class" He said to her quietly with a small smile that she didn't return like he had hoped.

The class cleared off in groups of friends. Derek told Serena that he'd wait outside but she urged him to just go for his lunch. Rhonda walked by the two of them with a sneaky smirk and Daisy followed, her innocent Amber eyes looking at Serena.

Once everyone had left Mr Powers shut the door and turned to Serena, lust swimming in his silver eyes.

"What?" Serena asked rudely. She had a pretty good idea of what he kept her back for, the only problem was she didn't want it. Sure he was extremely hot for a teacher but it was a one time thing, not to mention things were going really well with her and Derek and she wasn't about to ruin that for a teacher.

Harry walked up so that there was little distance between them. He leaned in to kiss her but she leaned back so he couldn't.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"Well, I was very drunk the other night" Serena lied, "It didn't really mean anything and I don't want to repeat it."

Mr Powers sighed. He clearly wanted this badly. Very, very badly.

"You know I thought you were a bad girl" He said trying to manipulate her into changing her mind.

It wasn't working.

"I guess I'm changing" Serena said. It was true, she was changing to some extent. She didn't want to change, it was just coming to her naturally and she had to admit that there was an upside to not having a hangover every morning and remembering what you did last night. But changing also meant she didn't have a way to forget her mistakes, and they seemed much more haunting when she was sober.

"You shouldn't, you're too much fun just the way you were" Mr Powers said. He leaned in to kiss her again but she ducked under him and walked to the other side of the room.

"Please, Mr Powers, You're like thirty" She said trying to get him to just stop.

"Twenty-nine, and this should be gross for me, you're sixteen" He said but he wasn't grossed out. He was smirking seductively. It made Serena awkward and nervous. He walked over to her. She would have ran somewhere else but she cornered herself without realizing it. He put his arms on either side of her, trapping her between his perfectly toned muscles. He leaned in and kissed her. There wasn't much she could do to stop him. She would have kicked him away but the bad girl inside of her wanted to do this, and it was a shame that the bad girl wasn't entirely gone yet. So she kissed him back, until she realized exactly what she was doing, for the second time for that matter. She pulled away and pushed past his arms while he was still mesmerized with her kiss. She ran collected her bag and headed for the door but then she realized Daisy had been standing at the door watching the whole time.

"Miss Lewis, what are you dong here?" Mr Powers said in shock when he spotted her too.

"I just forgot something. You know what, it's okay, I'll get it later" she said and ran out of the classroom. Serena ran out after her. She hit into a few students in the hall but she didn't care, she just chased Daisy, who was surprisingly fast.

"Daisy!" She called out but the amber eyed girl just kept running. Serena eventually gave up. She knew Daisy and she knew that the girl wouldn't do anything without consulting Rhonda first. And Rhonda knew about the bet, she could do no harm, right?

"What's wrong with Daisy?" Derek's voice asked from behind Serena. She turned around and smiled awkwardly at her boyfriend.

"I have no idea" she lied and gave him an uneasy smile.

---

"Oh my God! You'll never guess who I just saw making out!" Daisy said as she barged into room 629.

"Who?" Rhonda asked looking up from her homework and looking at Daisy intently. Rhonda always loved good gossip.

"Serena and Mr Powers!" Daisy exclaimed. Rhonda rolled her eyes and went back to her homework.

"Why aren't you texting everyone you know telling them about Serena and Mr Powers?" Daisy asked at Rhonda's strange reaction.

"Already knew" Rhonda replied simply, highlighting something in her French book.

"How did you know?" Daisy asked curiously.

"Who do you think put her up for it?" Rhonda said smirking at Daisy.

"Is this a part of you're plan to get her expelled?" Daisy asked. She didn't need to, she knew it was but she was hoping not. She liked Serena a little too much to want her to get expelled.

"Mm hm" Rhonda answered simply.

"Rhonda, this is ridiculous. Don't you think this is going a bit too far?" Daisy asked.

"I want Serena gone Daisy. You know that. And I told you not to get attached" Rhonda replied.

"I'm not attached. I'm just..." Daisy trailed off.

"Whatever" Rhonda said getting up from her chair and grabbing an apple from her bag. "Just don't tell anyone. It'll be more fun that way."

She took a bite of her apple and walked out of their bedroom.

Derek swiveled a handle of the Foosball table and scored another goal. Serena barely noticed.

They'd been playing Foosball for hours in the boys' dorm. Serena wasn't technically allowed to be there but no one kicked her out. The boys enjoyed her company anyway. Whenever she came around most of them just sat on the sofas and watched her talking to Derek, enjoying every second they spent watching her flick her blond mane back. The boys had a strict policy for letting girls into their dorm. Only hot and/or easy girls allowed.

"What's wrong?" Derek asked.

"What? Nothing's wrong" Serena lied.

"Please, I just scored another one. You've been out of it all day" he said, not buying it.

Serena sighed. "Derek why are you with me?" She asked.

"Because, you're hot and interesting and hell of a lot of fun" Derek answered without even needing to think about it.

"You shouldn't be with me you know" Serena said.

"Why?" Derek asked.

"Because I'm a train wreck. I'm trouble and I'll break your heart" Serena said.

Derek smiled a little. "I've heard all of this before you know" he told her.

"Well whoever warned you about me was right" Serena said.

"I knew you were bad from the moment I met you. And you're changing, I can see it" Derek said.

"The bad girl in me is always going to be there though, even if I change. The bad girl isn't going to die out, she'll just be dormant" Serena warned him.

"Why do you want to convince me that you're so horrible? For you're information, I like the bad girl so relax. You're not going to break my heart" Derek said and he leaned over the table and kissed her.

Serena smiled at him. He made her feel better but she wasn't entirely convinced. She just had a bad feeling in her stomach since Daisy had found her. Daisy wasn't a gossip but she wasn't the best secret keeper that Serena knew.

"Incoming virgin!" Some jackass from Serena's History class said as Daisy entered the boys dorm. Daisy knew it was the guys' nickname for her. It was obvious after all. She always looked so innocent and never had a man on her arm. She was just lucky that none of them knew the real reason why.

"Daisy! What are you doing here?" Serena asked, surprised and nervous to see her roommate.

"I had to talk to Derek about something" Daisy said. This made Serena even more nervous. She had a pretty good idea of what Daisy wanted to talk to him about and she knew that if she let her tell him Derek would never look at her again.

Derek on the other hand had no idea why Daisy was there though. Sure they were friends but they weren't super close.

"Okay, well I better be going anyway" Serena said. She kissed Derek goodbye and headed for the door but stopped in front of Daisy.

"Please don't tell him" Serena whispered. "He means everything to me. He's the first person in a long time who hasn't secretly judged me for every little thing I did so please, He's all I got."

Daisy wanted to tell her he wasn't. Daisy wanted to tell her that she'd always have her by her side. She wanted to confess to Serena exactly what she was feeling for her, but she knew that if she did, there would be consequences. And it had become pretty clear that Serena didn't swing that way.

"Please don't say anything" Serena kept begging. She clearly wasn't going to stop until she was certain that Daisy would keep her mouth shut.

"Fine" Daisy whispered back.

"Thank you" Serena said and walked out of the dorm.

"So what did you want to talk to me about?" Derek asked leaning on the Foosball table. Daisy realized she had nothing to say now.

"Um...How much do you like Serena?" Daisy improvised. Derek smiled. Obviously a lot if even hearing her name made him smile like that.

"A lot" Derek said still grinning like an idiot. "More than I've ever liked anyone. Probably too much for my own good."

"You're sixteen. You haven't liked that many girls" Daisy informed him. She wanted him to only like her a little bit so she wouldn't feel so bad about keeping Serena's secret.

"No but Serena's different. She's just so..." Derek trailed off in thought. Daisy sighed.

"My roommate, Rhonda, she doesn't like Serena very much. And when she doesn't like some one she tends to try and get rid of them. And she's not afraid of hurting other people in the process" Daisy warned him.

"So?" Derek asked not seeing how this mattered.

"I just thought you should know" Daisy said and she walked out of the dorm earning her some claps from the guys enjoying the view of her ass.

---

When Daisy got back to her room she found only Serena in their room. Rhonda seemed to be out all day. Serena on the other hand was on the computer reading some blog. Daisy walked over to her to see what it was.

"What's Gossip Girl?" She asked. Serena jumped. She didn't notice Daisy come in.

"Oh it's..." Serena thought but then she realized she didn't want Daisy going through Gossip Girl to research Serena. "It's nothing" she answered and clicked out of it. She swiveled the chair around to face Daisy. "So what's up?"

"You need to tell Derek" Daisy stated. Serena sighed.

"I can't" Serena said.

"He really likes you and you're going to break his heart" Daisy said.

"He doesn't seem to think so" Serena muttered to herself.

"Look this thing with Mr Powers, it's dangerous, some one's really going to get hurt" Daisy warned her.

"I know that! I don't want to keep it up, he does!" Serena exclaimed. She never dealt well with being blamed for things.

"Then promise me you'll tell Derek before he finds out some other way" Daisy said.

"But you and Rhonda are the only ones who know right?" Serena said.

"Right but he will find out. Trust me" Daisy insisted. Serena went silent. She figured he probably would find out. Connecticut may not have Gossip Girl but secrets still found their way out into the world.

"Promise me" Daisy demanded.

"Fine, I promise I'll tell him" Serena said. Daisy's amber eyes stayed locked with Serena's navy blue ones for a few more seconds before the two girls jumped from the sound of the door opening.

Rhonda stopped in her tracks noticing the tension in the room.

"What I miss?"

Coming Up...Serena loses hope with losing the bad girl.
