Serena tried her best to avoid Darien. It was hard but she managed to do so. She didn't want to avoid the scouts either but she knew she had too. All they ever did was ask questions, questions she couldn't answer. Why does everything have to be so difficult.

Why can't anything just go right.

"Serena, are you okay?"

Serena looked up to see Rini standing in front of her with a weird look on her face.

"Yeah." Serena stated codly.

"Serena, what is with you. One minute you want to hangout next minute you don't!"Rina said fustrated.

"I don't know whats up with me okay. I'm just not really in the mood to deal with people." Serena sighed.

"Whatever, grow up Serena. You were dumped it's not the end of the world."Rini scoffed.

With that the pink haired little one stomped off to the living room.

Serena looked over to her left, she strayed her eyes over to the liquor cabinet. She pondered for a moment, not knowing if she should at least try it. All she knew was that people were funny when they were drunk.All she's seen about drinking was on t.v.

She just had an urge to try it. One time thats it. What's there to lose?

She walked over to the unlocked cabinet and opened it. She looked inside and saw alot of bottles of things she's never even heard of.

"Tequila, Vodka,Captain Morgan, Smirnoff." She muttered to herself.

She grabbed the Tequila and Vodka and poured a bit of both into her water bottle for school. She hurriedly but the caps back on of the bottles and through the bottle in her bag. She ran out the door, and hurried to school.

In Serena's first hour English class, she pulls out the bottle. Forgetting that hard liquor was in it instead of the usual water.

She cringed at the taste and quickly swallowed its bitterness. After a few more sips she gets used to its taste.

Serena's point of View.

Why is this so hard.

Why can't anything just go right..

Oh wow

I feel a bit dizzy...

Maybe it'd help if the room would stop spinning...

Besides the fact that it tastes a bit weird

it's not to bad.

Why haven't I done this sooner?

End of Serena's P.OV.

Riiiiinggggggggggggg

The bell rang and Serena felt her head start to pound. She felt a headache coming on.

She continued through the day taking sips from the bottle until she was slurring her words and stumbling over her own feet.

She kind of enjoyed it. It was a new thing for her. It had the power to take everything off her mind.

She forgot she had to meet the scouts after school. She tried to sober up fast but it didn't seem to work.

She ran out of the school's double doors and all the way to the arcade. By the time she got there she realized everyone was waiting on her. She sat down in the booth with them. She sat there silently just engulfing herself in the silence amongst herself, gazing out the window aimlessly. She was trying to act as sober as she possibly could but it just wasnt working as well as she had hoped.

"Serena?"

Serena turnmed her gaze from the window to Rei's dark eyes.

"Yeah?" She responded.

"What are you thinking about?" Mina chimed in with a grin on her face.

"Um. It's getting kind of late I should be heading home." Serena sighed.

Serena grabbed her jacket, and got up from the booth of girls.

"Serena, it's raining pretty hard, let me drive you home." Ami offered.

"Nah, it's okay. Thanks though." Serena replied sadly.

With that Serena ran out of the arcade and down the wet slippery streets of Tokyo.She tried to watch out for cars

and other people but it was impossible with the rain falling as hard as it was. Everytime she opened her eyes the raindrops would just hit them. She stumbled over her feet as she tried to walk straight but it wasn't helping she kept falling. She tried her hardest to keep her balance but she couldn't do it she just couldn't.She gathered as much strength as her tired body could muster up and ran, ran until she felt her body hit something hard. She looked up to see those oh so familiar eyes but before she could say anything she passed out from the exhaustion.
