Changing Everything Ch7: Not in the group

Serena was extremely excited. Yesterday her and Darien talked everything out; they decided they didn't need a plan. They just needed to be themselves for once. And best of all she thought to herself, today is Monday and guess what? I'm not wearing a mini skirt! Just plain old blue jeans, and the shirt we made before "Cinderella" to advertise it.

The best part of this whole experience was going to be she didn't have to pretend anymore and she wasn't alone. She smiled as she saw Darien pull up in front of her house. She waved to him as she walked towards his car. She knew Darien was all in the coming out thing with her, but it was kind of weird.

She said told him last time they couldn't be together because she didn't want to be forced to be his girlfriend, but now that they weren't she wanted more then ever to be his "real" girlfriend. But she wasn't sure if he felt the same. But for now she decided to brush the feelings off, as she needed to focus on this importance of this day.

On the drive to school Darien snuck glances at Serena every chance he got. It seemed weird to him he was more attracted to her now then ever before. Because once he got to know the real her, it crossed his mind that he liked her for real. Not pretending because it was in the grand scheme of things for the order of high school.

But he wasn't sure how to go on about this since he was sure she didn't like him from her saying she didn't want to be together anymore. He was confused about the whole situation and how she felt. He wanted to talk about it but the time he found the courage they were already at school

Serena was the first to exit the car. Darien followed behind her. He stayed at a distance to get a good view of the unfolding drama to come.

"Hey Serena!" Shouted Ray from across the lawn with Mina and Lita on her sides. As she cautiously approached them, the three knew something was different but they didn't know what. Finally a random senior popped in and shouted for the whole world to hear, " Oh My gosh! Serena of the prep crowd isn't wearing the Monday tradition of a mini-skirt!"

That single, but powerful statement caused everyone in front of the school to get quiet. A few seconds later you started to hear whispers…. "What does that mean?" "Did they have a fight?" "Isn't it a tradition?" "I heard after she slept with Darien last Monday she left it at his place." "I heard she has a bad rash so she's to embarrassed to wear one." Serena couldn't understand the ridiculous statements and comments being made over a STUPID mini skirt! It was completely, and utterly idiotic.

But the whispers all came to a hush once Ray started to shout, "What the hell is the meaning of this Serena? Our group rules simply state Mondays we were Mini-skirts!" Serena could tell Ray was furious; because it wasn't often she lost her cool in the school that could taint her perfect image unless someone crossed her.

"Look I knew somewhere along the line someone was going to forget, but don't worry I got an extra mini skirt in my locker, lets go." Mina chimed in trying to keep things calm. Mina grabbed Serena's wrist and started to tow her to her locker. But Serena pulled away, "No."

"Don't do this Serena or you will be sorry." Mina pleaded under her breath. Lita looked at her astounded, while Ray could have been emitting steam threw her ears right now.

" I don't want to do it anymore. No more Monday mini skirts, no more parties, no more pretending to be stupid, ditzy or an airhead. I don't want to be a popular girl with no real friends, and not being able to do the things I like. " She stated trying to let everyone know she was serious.

"You think it's as simple as that Serena, well it's not! When you moved here you were nobody, I created you into a somebody! I could break you as easily as I made you! Do you still want that?" Ray seethed.

Darien already started to make his way over to the scene, things looked like they were getting ugly.

" Do your worst. I rather be anything then be considered a preppy whore throughout my high school." Ray raised her hand to slap Serena as Serena offered her right cheek. Just before contact was made, Darien saved Serena in the knick of time by catching Ray's hand.

"Darien this isn't your battle! She's not one of us!" Ray stated with authority in her voice.

"Neither am I." He replied coolly.
