Chapter Twenty-nine

Weird

----------------

The next morning, Serena woke up to the alarms that were going off in bedrooms around her. I guess I should get ready. She thought to herself. Thank God I have my own bathroom, I need a shower. All the bedrooms in the house had their own joined bathrooms. She got into the shower and finished getting ready. She wrote a note to tell Yella to be careful and that she'll call her when she's out of school.

She walked out of her room and headed towards the kitchen where she found the guys.

"Morning, love." Darien said, walking to the table with a bowl of cereal. "Hungry?"

"Kinda."

"There's cereal, bagels, and toast. Help yourself." Josh said.

"Thanks." She walked over to the toaster and made some toast.

They all finished eating and walked out of the house for school.

Yella woke up about two hours after the others left and found the note Serena had left for her. She decided to head home and begin her packing.

----------------

The day creped by slowly, slower then usual. All Serena could think about was her family, friends, and her boyfriend. He truly doesn't know how much I appreciate all he's done and is doing for me. I don't know what I'd do if I lost him. Serena sighed as she stared at him.

They were in study hall, but she already finished all the work she needed to get done, so she spent the rest of class thinking.

Darien hard a sigh from a few seats over. He looked over at it's owner: his love. She looked as though she was thinking hard about something. And with everything she's been through, that something could be anything. Poor girl. I just wish there was something more I could do for her.

'Hey, Serena.' Darien thought to her.

Serena looked up in confusion, apparently forgetting they could do that. 'Oh, hey.'

'What are you thinking about so hard over there?'

'You.' She replied with a grin.

'Really? Good or bad?'

'What kinda good things?' He was quite curious now.

'Well-' She started.

...RING...

The student walked out of the classroom. Darien told the guys he'd meet them in a minute, and to tell the girls the same for Serena.

When Serena walked out, Darien pulled her aside.

"What the-" Serena started until Darien hushed her with a kiss.

She didn't know who had pulled her seaside until she felt his lips against hers. They she instantly knew who it was.

When their lips parted, he looked into her deep blue eyes, seeing all her worries wash away.

"You know, you scared me for a minute there." She giggled.

"I'm sorry, y sweet." Darien apologized.

"It's okay, I still love you." She giggled again.

"And I'll always love you." He replied, pecking her lips again. "So what kinda things were you thinking about me?"

"I was just thinking about how caring, nice, sweet, respectful, and loving you are." She said, blushing a bit in the process.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him. "So just how much of all that am I?"

"You'll never know just how much you are." She replied, leaning into his chest. "And you'll never know how much I appreciate everything you've done for me."

"Well can't I try to know?" He asked into her hair, in a pouty voice.

"I couldn't even begin to try to explain." She tightened her squeeze around him.

"Hey, you guys gonna make us wait all day?" Raye asked running up to the couple.

"Sorry." Both said at once.

"We'll forgive you if you come with me now." Raye said.

"Where are we going?" Serena couldn't remember making any plans.

"Just to the Crown." Raye informed

----------------

Since the group consisted of 10 people, they had to pull three tables together. Each girl sat next to their boyfriend.

"So Serena, what do you want for your birthday?" Mina asked after all were settled.

The question came as a surprise to her. "Oh, well..." She thought for a minute. "I'm not sure."

"You're a lot of help." Lita joked.

"When is it?" Kevin asked.

"11 days, on the fifteenth."

The guys stared at her in silence.

"What?" 'Is that a bad date or something?' She thought to herself, Darien reading the thought.

"No." Darien answered her thoughts. "I mean, the fifteenth is a perfect date for your birthday...and mine." He grined.

"You never told me your birthday was only 11 days away." She nearly shouted at him.

"Well you never told me about yours either." He said back.

"Oh, yah." The group laughed at her.

"So what do you want?" Serena asked Darien.

"Well, I already have everything I could ever want." He told her.

"What is that?" She asked.

"Well I have the best friends a person could ask for and the sweetest, most wonderful girlfriend a guy could ever pray for." He said with one of his sweet voices.

She lunged her body at him in a hug. "And I have the boyfriend from my dreams." She said into his chest.

After a minute of silence, and staring at the couple, Amy piped up.

"So what do you guys really want?"

They spent a good hour gathering what the two wanted.

Shit. "Sorry guys, I forgot that I told Yella I'd call her after school. Be right back." Serena said, getting up from the table. She walked out the front doors to call her aunt.

"Hello?"

"Yella, it's Serena. Sorry I didn't call sooner."

"No problem, I was packing and didn't even notice the time." She chuckled to herself.

"Okay. Guess what!" Serena was jumping with excitement.

"What?" Yella asked.

No response.

"Serena?" Yella waited a minute confused.

No answer.

...Beep Beep Beep...

Maybe we were disconnected. Yella dialed Serena's cell.

...RING...RING...RING...Hi, Serena's cell here..." Yella hung up the phone. Weird.
