Chapter 2: Whipped Cream
Serena blushed. She never noticed her low cut shirt or if anyone was on the balcony beside hers. After all, the balcony wasn't that far from hers; two, three feet tops. Before Serena could open her mouth to reply a group of adults came over and introduced themselves.
" Was that a compliment?" Mina whispered to Amy. " Did Darien actually compliment a girl?"
Amy nodded, eyes glued on the words in her book.
Mina propped her head on her hands and pouted. " He never complimented me," she complained.
" Darling, Dare never compliments anyone," Andrew leaned over and whispered into Mina's ear.
Mina blew a raspberry and signaled Lita to get up and walk with her. Once they were out of listening range, Mina began to speak. " So, what do you think 'bout the new girl?"
Lita took a sip of her soda, and thought a bit. " She seems perfect. Perfect for Darien that is. Think we should have a NB Party?" she asked, lips pursed up in thought.
Mina nodded slowly, and then began grinning. " That's just what the doctor ordered," she answered, eyes twinkling with mischief.
Serena yawned. She got up and stretched. She gasped as she felt something cold on her tummy. " Wha-?" she mumbled in confusion. She looked at her stomach and there was a spot of whipped cream. She looked down, and there were the bright blue eyes of Darien's.
" Time for ice cream," he gave her a lopsided grin from his spot on the bench.
Serena glared at him, furious as his twinkling eyes that looked so alluring. Pouting, she wiped the whipped cream with her index finger and licked it clean. She refused to look at him, and sat back down to make her sundae. " Strawberry ice cream…chocolate…rocky road…syrup…whipped cream…" Serena frowned as the whipped cream refused to come out. Shaking it, Serena pressed down the nozzle for some whipped cream to come out. Only a little, runny whipped cream slipped out. " Ew," she thought, and tried once again.
Darien chuckled at the adorable sight Serena made, glaring at the can. He reached over. " Here let me help," he said.
Serena glared at Darien once again. " I'm fine, thank you very much," she seethed and tried unsuccessfully again.
" C'mon. Let me help," Darien tried to grab the can again.
" No," Serena stated determined to get the stupid whipped cream to come out.
" LET ME HELP!" Darien shouted exasperated at her stubbornness. " You'll never get it, and my ice cream is going to melt if you don't hurry up," he explained through clenched teeth.
" NO!!!" Serena yelled back. " Gosh, how annoying can a guy get!" she thought, shaking her head. She shook it really hard and pressed the nozzle down roughly. " Yes!" she cried as a big stream of whipped cream came out. She did a little victory dance, and stopped in mid-twirl as she saw a shocked Darien with whipped cream all over his face. " Ah…heh…" Serena clutched her whipped cream can nervously.
Darien glared.
" Uh…" Serena's eyes darted for a way out. " I'll just…uh…go this…uh…way," Serena pointed to a place far, far away. " Uh…here's a napkin…uh…here I go," she said, a little jumpy. Serena began to inch away.
Darien wiped some whipped cream off his face and gave the scared blonde a big glare wit his dark blue eyes. He grabbed a bottle of strawberry syrup and proceeded. He said one word, " Run."
Serena gulped and bolted. She felt something wet hit her in the back. She gasped and twisted around. There, on the back of her favorite blue tee, was a sloppy line of something red. She stopped running and her whole body was livid." She stopped Darien with her index finger on his chest. " This just happens to be my FAVORITE tee!" she jabbed him in the chest with her finger.
Darien gave her a lop-sided grin. " Oh?" he cocked his head to the side, held the bottle above her head and drizzled strawberry syrup over her head.
" ARGH!" Serena gave an enraged shriek. Shaking her whipped cream can furiously, she advanced towards Darien.
Still grinning, Darien began to back slowly away.
Glaring, Serena squirted.
" What's that?" Raye pointed.
" Wha-?" Lita asked through a mouthful of cookies.
"THAT!" Mina gasped and pointed.
Running past them first was a boy, laughing, with foaming white stuff all over his backside and head. * ZOOM * Running very close to his heels was a fuming blonde with some sort of gooey, red stuff on her head and shirt. * ZOOM *
The whole neighborhood sweat dropped. ^^;;
Amy looked up from her book. " Boy, that was a good book," Amy chirped snapping her book closed. " So, where's Serena and Darien? Let's tell them about the NB party."
" I think they're busy," Lita said through a mouthful of chips.
To be Cont'd…
