Dear Hero (who still has not come to save me from life's unfairness, so I wait.)

Okay, today was worse than a couple a days ago with the school being closed. Remember the letter I told you I wrote to Andrew about that boy? AKA D.C….well he never got it. I found out like this:

That Wednesday, I ran home after detention. I didn't have time to stop by the arcade because dinner was almost ready. And unless I am eating at Lita's, I don't miss meals. That was top priority. I thought about catching on the sleep that I missed this morning, but I remembered I had wanted to hear Andrew's advice on D.C. So I called him as I reached for some more cookies.

Me: Hey Andrew!

Drew: Hi Serena. Why are you calling?

Me: Well, I wanted to ask you about the-

A door slammed on Andrew's side of the receiver.

Drew: Oh that was just Darien. (Talking to Darien.) Hi Darien…

Drew in confusion: What are you talking about? The toaster…I'm on the phone with Serena. Wait a minute, why are you so mad?

Another door slammed.

Drew: Serena? Hi again. I'm sorry he seemed to be a little frustrated. So what did you want to talk to me about?

Me: Well, I wanted to know what you thought about the letter?

Drew: What letter, I don't know what you are talking about?

Me: You mean you didn't get it? How could you not get it? (panicked) I know I left it for you1 What if someone read it?

Darien walked in the room with a drink.

Drew: Slow down Serena. What is the letter about anyway? I don't think any one would steal a letter.

"Crash!" The glass slipped and shattered.

Drew: Darien are you all right? Serena hold on, I'm sorry, Darien seems determined to force me to become a doctor sooner than I hoped. He dropped his glass. I have to see if he is okay.

Drew: (To Darien) Did you cut yourself? Okay, just get some gauge in the medicine cabinet. What is up with you today? Darien, why are you storming off again? And they say women are moody!

Drew: I'm sorry again. He left again even with his hand bleeding. Sometimes, I think I know Darien and other times he is a complete mystery. Serena? Hello? Why are you so quiet?

Me: I…I…it was about him. Andrew I didn't use is name, but the way I talk about D..Darien anyone who knows him, would know it is him. Who else could it be? Especially with my name on it and the way we fight. I just wanted to ask you how should I…

Drew: Well Serena, right now, I don't know. He is acting kind of strange. Maybe you could just tell him.

Me: What? Are you CRAZY?

Drew: Well, I may not know him as well as you hoped, but I'm pretty sure that honesty always has a lasting impression.

Me: I don't know. I'm not even sure he feels anything for me.

Drew: Well he must feel something for you, otherwise he wouldn't make the time to argue with you. (I laughed) That's my girl. Hey if you guys even have a chance at something, it'll happen.

Me: Thanks Drew. But I still don't know what to do?

Drew: Just follow your heart kiddo, it never lies.

Me: Thanks you are a great listener. The girls would never ever let me live this down if I told them. Well Anyway, I have to go. Bye.

Drew: Bye Serena.

I still don't know who has the letter. But as long as D.C. doesn't have it. I mean what are the chances? I think it'll be okay. Except I still have to figure out what I am going to do with him. Drew did say that he was having a bad day, maybe I'll look around for him and get him to talk. Imagine us NOT fighting. Well, actually, it doesn't sound too bad.
