Red Envelopes 5
Serena blinked rapidly for a few times. She sat up Indian style and dusted off her clothes. A few moments passed, and everyone held his or her breath. Serena cleared her throat. " Pardon?" her voice came out like a squeak.
Darien let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. He blushed and stared into her azure eyes. " Would you like to go to the Valentine's Day dance with me?" he asked shyly.
Serena's jaw fell, giving everyone an unattractive look at the insides of her mouth. Mina coughed loudly, and brought Serena back onto earth. She gave Darien a bright smile, and squealed. " Yes!" she replied, giving him a big hug.
It was Darien's turn to have his jaw fall. " Really?" he asked, astound.
" Yes, you silly goose. Come on," Serena grinned, grabbing his hand and dragging him away from the crowds.
They walked down the worn dirt road that winded itself around the tall trees of the forest behind their school.
" – so, that was when I realized what was in the red envelope," Darien concluded. They had been walking and sorting out their misunderstandings.
* RING *
" Oh no!" they cried simultaneously.
" I completely forgot! Let's go!" Darien said, grabbing Serena's hand and running quickly.
" Darien, Darien…Darieeeen! Hold…uh, watch out for that- Darieeeeen! That…that…jump! No, hold- wait! Halt! Cease! HOLD IT!" Serena shouted, trying to stop. She tried to use her other hand to grab onto Darien's belt, but missed and grabbed a certain body part that shall remain nameless.
Darien stopped so quickly that Serena bumped into him. His face was beet red. " Uh, Serena?" he asked quietly.
Serena looked at where her hand was, and hastily removed it. " I was going for your belt," Serena murmured to him, her face a deep crimson color.

*AHEM*
Serena and Darien jumped a foot in the air, still holding hands. Turning quickly around, Darien saw Mr. Palmer staring at him with his glasses on the tip of his nose. Face pasty white, Darien cleared his throat before talking. " Hello, Mr. Palmer. Uh, what brings you here?"
Mr. Palmer pushed his glasses back up onto the bridge of his nose and said, " I'm on lunch duty. Class is to start soon, so get going."
Darien breathed a sigh of relief. " He hadn't seen what Serena did after all," Darien thought.
As Mr. Palmer began walking away, Darien and Serena looked at each other relief in their faces. They began laughing helplessly, until a voice cut through. " Oh one more thing Darien?"
They quickly shut their mouths, and Darien's head snapped up. Mr. Palmer was back. " Yes?" Darien inquired heart drumming.
Mr. Palmer walked close and whispered in his ear, " I saw that move from your girlfriend. You sly dog you. She's a keeper," With a wink and a slight punch on Darien's arm, Mr. Palmer began walking back whistling a little tune.
Turning to face Serena, Darien saw that she heard what Mr. Palmer said. " Don't even dare laugh," he growled at her.
With a straight face, Serena just shook her head and starting walking back to school. After a few minutes of silence, Serena broke it. " So I'm a keeper eh?" she asked wickedly, eyes gleaming.
