Against The Rules

Chapter 7

Darien sat at his desk looking up at the clock that hung on the wall seeing that it was almost eight o'clock time for his first class to begun. He sat as he wondered where Serena was. She said she would be here this morning, but she never showed. It seemed last night when he left her that she had dedicated herself to working harder and getting better grades, but he was starting to wonder as he watched the minutes tick by.

It was almost eight as he sat and started to watch the students enter the classroom and get themselves seated as he wondered if something had happened to Serena or possibly she didn't care about her education as much as he thought she did.

The first bell rang and all the straggler students left out in the hall entered the classroom as he stood up from his desk and looked to the door hoping maybe one more student might come running in the door late, but never showed as he stood at the front of the classroom ready to teach the students that were here and ready to learn.

All eight periods of the day finally came and went which seemed like it was the longest day yet for Darien, but he still had hope that maybe she might show even though he knew better. He gathered up his belongings and silently hoped she would be there tomorrow and he would show up early again just in case.

He walked out of the building towards his car and to his surprise she was standing there with a pair of dark sunglasses on as he looked to her and asked "so where have you been?"

Serena just shrugged it off as she said "around".

Mr. Kenny looked to her none to happily as he told her "listen your time may not be valuable to you, but my time is to me. I don't mind coming in early to help a student, but if you're not going to show then I won't bother"

Serena just laughed as she told him "oh come now Mr. Kenny we both know the truth. You just wanted to spend some alone time with me, didn't you" as she stood a little too close to him for his taste as he stepped back and looked at her asking "what is the matter with you today?"

Serena just laughed as she told him "nothing is wrong with me. What's the matter with you? What you don't like when a beautiful girl gets close to you or are you not like that? Do you maybe prefer guys instead?"

He just shook his head as he told her "I refuse to speak with you when you act this way. When you're ready to be serious again let me know"

Serena smiled as she told him "oh, but I am serious. I'm very serious about a little alone time between you and me"

Mr. Kenny looked to her as he said "forget it. Now I have to go. I'm late for an appointment"

Serena put on a coy smile as she asked "with your rich girlfriend tell me Mr. Kenny is that the only reason why you're with her, because she's got the cash"

Mr. Kenny looked to her as he shook his head asking "what happened to you" she just smiled as she told him "nothing I'm perfect"

He looked to her as he asked "take off the sunglasses" she just smiled as she told him "no I don't want to"

He looked to her again as he said with a more demanding tone to his voice "take them off now" she laughed again as she asked him "what do you want to gaze into my eyes"

He looked at her as he told her "take them off or I'll do it for you" she just shrugged as she said "whatever" and took off the sunglasses to show that her eyes were all red and given her new attitude. He looked to her as he asked "You're on something aren't you"

She just smiled as she told him "me and my friend Bruce had a little party is all. You want to come?"

He just shook his head as he told her "I want you to get help. I don't know what happened to you yesterday. I saw a lot of potential in you and today I just hope you don't get yourself killed before the day is over. When you're ready to be serious again and you really want help let me know" as he got in his car and drove off as he watched through his rear view mirror as Serena gave him the finger as he drove away and felt something in the pit of his stomach as he watched this girl day by day through her whole life away.

He sat at the caterers with Monique his fiancée, but the whole time the wedding planner spoke all he could think about was Serena, and the way she looked today. Whatever happened between last night and this morning that would leave her in the condition that she was in.

Monique looked to him feeling a little annoyed of his lack of concentration on her and their wedding as she asked "hello earth to Darien. Come in Darien"

He suddenly looked to her shocked out of his thoughts as she asked him "where have you been? I asked you a question which one do you like better the roses or the tulips for the wedding?"

Darien looked to her not really caring about flowers. Here a young life was being destroyed and she was asking about roses or tulips as he looked to her as he told "I don't care which ever you prefer"

She looked to him with an attitude as she told him "Darien I brought you along for your opinion not so you can say whatever I like" Darien took a deep breath as he told her "you're right. I'm sorry the roses are nice"

She smiled as she told him "yes they are nice, but everyone does roses I think I like the tulips. I'm going to do the tulips"

Darien just smiled as he told her "okay whatever makes you happy"

She smiled back at him as she looked to the coordinator and told him "we'll do the tulips" as the coordinator wrote down more notes and he discussed size of bouquets and ribbon color as Darien sat still lost in his thoughts wondering where she was and if she was okay

Serena walked the streets with her friends as Mina asked "where were you last night? I tried calling your phone a bunch of times".

Serena looked to her as she said "yeah sorry had a little party with some friends"

Rei shook her head as she told her "I don't believe you"

Serena smiled as she told her "fine don't believe me" Mina looked to her as she questioned "okay, with whom?"

Serena smiled as she said "Mike from the ice cream parlor. We went into the backroom and well if his boss only knew. I don't think they would sell much ice cream" as she gave off a little giggle

Ami looked to her as she asked "Mike as in my Mike?" Serena had known Ami had gone out with Mike a few times in the past, but it wasn't like they were serious. They just had a few random dates and she looked to her and said "yeah he really knows how to warm you up doesn't he?"

Ami turned away from her friend as she asked "how could you?" Serena knew it wasn't true. She wasn't sure why she said Mike's name when it could hurt one of her friends as she looked to Ami and told her "Ami don't get upset it's not like you're going steady or anything"

Ami just shook her head as she told her " I can't believe you" as she turned and walked away from Serena as the others followed her giving Serena a dirty look and Serena watched as they walked away as she said to low for them to hear "I'm sorry"

End chapter 7

Author's note: Just a quick note that I would like to mention. I don't know how clear it was in the last chapter, but the occurrences that are going on between Serena and Randy was not a onetime thing. She has been using made up stories to hide the truth about what has been going on for awhile. If anyone has any thoughts or questions please let me know I am happy to hear from all of my readers and as always please read, review, and enjoy! Thank you Mars Light.
