Red Envelopes Ch.2
" Oh, god. She has the envelope. Oh, god." Darien moaned, as he laid bed that night. He ran his fingers through his tangled up ebony hair and reminiscence the day he meet Serena. It was the first day of school, the first time he ever walked into the high school. He was scared but of course he didn't show it.
" 202…202." Darien whispered to himself staring at his schedule.
" 202." A voice chirped behind him.
Darien turned around. A perky blonde beamed at him. She pointed up.
"202" she smiled. She flounced into the room, grabbing his hand.
" Hey Serena!" everyone chorused.
" Hey guys!" she grinned back. She hauled Darien in front of her. "
Guys, this is a new student here. So be nice. Or else." Serena narrowed her
eyes. Then she burst out laughing.
" Hey! What's your name?" a few of the classmates gathered around him.
Serena gave him a wink and walked off into her own group.
" Why?" he sighed. Suddenly, Darien sat up. " I wonder who gave her that red envelope." He murmured. He walked over to his backpack, which was leaning against his oak desk. The same oak desk he sat slaving over, trying to write the perfect letter to Serena. He unzipped the side pocket and took the foot-marked red envelope out.
Serena,
I was wondering if you
would like to go to the Valentine's Dance with me. We could do something before
or after, like dinner? I hope you say yes, I would really enjoy your company.
Sincerely,
Andrew Fathom
" Andrew?!" Darien whispered in disbelief. His best friend Andrew…his first friend at the high school…the guy he sits with at lunch…his basketball buddy…mainly his best friend Andrew asked his one and only crush to the Valentine's Dance.
" Can this get any worse?" Darien groaned, putting his head in his hands. He grabbed his English Lit book, hoping to distract his mind, and sat down amidst the pillows of his bed. He opened it, and closed it. " He's my best friend. I mean if he really likes Serena, then I can't stand in the way. But…Serena has to like him first. Does that mean I should be competing Andrew for Serena…or should I just let Serena decide?" Darien thought out loud. He stared at the cover of his English, A Midsummer Night's Dream. " Great. More guys fighting over a girl. Maybe this will help me think of something." He thought, as he opened the book once again and became engrossed in it.
" Should I call him? Wait no. I'll talk to him tomorrow. Hey! I'll give him his red envelope back, but I'll put in my own little note…yea…" Serena jumped up from her bed and began composing her own letter in a red envelope to Darien.
" Faries. Just grand. That helps me a lot." Darien sighed, as he flung the book to the ground. A purple note fluttered from it, as the book was thrown open to the ground.
" What is it?" Darien thought, as he picked up the folded little note.
Darien,
I know
this may seem a little unorthodox but I was wondering if maybe you would go to
the Valentine's Dance with me?
Raye
" Raye?" Darien asked in confusion. " Oh right. Serena's friend." He remembered, nodding his head. His head bolted up, as it dawned on him. " Serena's friend asked me to the dance?" he groaned.
