Against The Rules
Chapter 29
Serena sat in her third period class listening as her teacher drabbled on about a war that happened hundreds of years ago as she sat looking at the clock and waited for time to go by, but at the moment it felt like time was moving backwards or something as she watched and waited for fourth period to finally arrive.
The bell finally rang and Serena couldn't wait to finally get out of class as she stood up from her desk and was about to run out the door when her teacher Ms. Grant called to her asking "Serena please wait up a moment. I would like to talk to you"
Serena looked out into the hall where all the other students were and where she wanted to be at the moment as she stopped and turned around walking over to Mrs. Grant's desk as she asked her "yes Mrs. Grant was is it?"
Mrs. Grant looked to her as she told her "I wanted to speak with you about your latest exam"
Serena looked to her surprised she had thought she had actually done well on it for a change as she asked her expecting the worst "what about it?"
Mrs. Grant looked to her as she told her "I can't tell you what your grade was on it yet, but I will say this that it was your highest grade in my class this year Serena. You should be proud of yourself"
Serena smiled relieved that it wasn't more bad news as Mrs. Grant asked her "have your parents gotten you a tutor after school to help with your studies"
Serena laughed at the thought of her parents actually doing something good for her as she shook her head and said "no"
Mrs. Grant smiled as she told her "well, keep up the good work then Serena. Now you should probably get going before you're late to your next class"
Serena nodded her head as she walked out of the classroom turning around once more to tell Mrs. Grant "thank you" then walked out of the classroom all excited to tell Darien the good news.
Serena walked down the hall to her classroom she knew she was late, but didn't worry too much. She knew Darien would understand once she told him the good news.
She walked into the classroom and looked up surprised to see Ms. Biggs standing by the blackboard as she looked to Serena with a not so happy look on her face as she told her "you're late"
Serena stood by the door confused as Ms. Biggs looked to her asking "you've already disrupted my class by coming late. Now are you going to hold it up much longer or are you going to take your seat Ms. Webster?"
Serena stood there in a state of shock as she quietly took her seat in the front row as Ms. Biggs looked to her surprised to see her sitting in the front row as she asked the class "can anyone tell me where Mr. Kenny left off? Did he follow my lesson plan at all?"
Serena sat there confused as she asked herself where Darien was. Why wasn't he here? as she raised her hand and Ms. Biggs looked to her surprised to see her actually raising her hands in class for once as she looked to her and asked "yes Ms. Webster what is it?"
Serena looked to Ms. Biggs as she asked her "where's Mr. Kenny?"
Ms. Biggs looked to Serena as she told her "I don't know where he is Serena but I'm back now so he is not needed any longer. Now if there are no more interruptions everyone please open there books to page 163 and read silently. Leave your homework assignments on the edge of your desks as I will come around to collect them"
Serena after all the excitement of last period realized she forgot to get her book from her locker as she raised her hand and Ms. Biggs looked to her as she asked "yes Ms. Webster what is it now?"
Serena looked to her as she told her "I forgot my book can I run to my locker and get it quick"
Ms. Biggs looked to her as she told her "come late and unprepared to class Serena that's 2 points. One more and it will mean after school detention for you"
Serena nodded her head as she told her "yes maim I understand" as she stood up and took the hall pass from Ms. Biggs and walked out into the hall towards her locker
She walked down the hall and went to her locker as she picked up her book and held it in her hand as she thought about all the times her and Darien had spent together in that class room and now it was all over he was gone.
She closed the door to her locker as she started to walk back to her classroom, but didn't go in right away. She just stood outside the door as she heard Ms. Biggs lecturing the other students about having their homework done in a timely manner.
Serena took her homework out of her text book. She had worked so hard on it and she wanted to show Darien as she stood there looking at it, then walked over and threw it in the nearest trash can turned around and walked out of the building.
She walked off school property she didn't see any reason in staying now that Darien wasn't around. To all the other teachers she was still nothing more than just Serena Webster delinquent, but with him things were different, he was different. He made her different as she started to wonder about last night was he as different as she thought he was or was he just another person to come into her life and leave just as quickly.
She walked further down the block and kept going over the thoughts in her head that she didn't notice the car that pulled up beside her as the window rolled down and a man yelled out to her " Serena you want a lift"
She looked up after hearing her name called out as she looked to see Bruce sitting in his car as she walked over to it asking "what do you want?"
Bruce looked to her as he told her "I'm having a little party at my place want to join me?"
Serena kept walking as she told him "no thanks I'm busy"
Bruce got out of his car and walked up to her as he grabbed onto her arm asking "what's got you so busy you don't have time to hang out with your friends Serena"
Serena looked to him as she told him "I don't consider you a friend Bruce and I'm not interested in the kind of party you want to have so just get going"
Bruce looked to her as he told her "you never said no to my parties before Serena"
She looked to him as she told him "I am now" and kept walking down the street, but Bruce grabbed onto her arm tightly as he told "I'm not finished talking to you yet Serena and your being very rude"
Serena quickly pulled her arm away from him slapping him across the face as she stood there firmly telling him "don't ever touch me"
Bruce was surprised by the way she came out so strongly at him as he put a hand to his cheek as he looked to her and asked "what's with you? What happened got burned did you?"
Serena looked to him as she told him "it's none of your damn business" as she kept walking
Bruce looked to her like he had all the answers as he told her "I see" Serena turned around to look at him as she asked "what are you talking about?"
Bruce looked to her smugly telling her "you finally had enough didn't you. I told you one day you'd see it my way"
Serena looked to him as she told him "that's not true"
Bruce looked back at her as he asked "so what happened then? Did the zebra change it stripes? Did lightning suddenly strike you and make you a better student? Did it make people actually give a damn?"
Serena looked away from him thinking about Darien, things were changing but now he was… as Bruce walked over to her telling her "I told you we were the same Serena. I bet there was one teacher who said they would help you, but it turned out they were just like the rest"
Serena thought about what he just said, but it wasn't true. Darien wasn't like that. She just had to talk to him and then things would be different. That kiss last night meant something she knew it did as she looked to Bruce and told him "just stay away from me okay"
Bruce looked to her as he told her "I would, but I don't think that's really what you want now is it Serena. We've both been screwed by the system had people make promises and then break them, but you don't have to worry about them and all there condescending remarks. You don't have to think of any of it ever again. All you have to do is come with me"
Serena stood there she knew how he would make it all better and she knew it wasn't a road she wanted to go down again, but right now it would make the pain go away for just a little while, make all the bad stuff in her life disappear as she looked to him and told him "fine, let's get out of here"
Bruce smiled as he put his arm around her telling her "your chariot awaits" as they headed towards his car and with each step Serena got a sinking feeling in her stomach that she would end up regretting this.
