"Sumimasen!" Serena cried out.
"Daijobu." The man said, trying to sound sexy. Serena looked up and
almost
laughed—or choked the person. "But you could give me something in
return."
Darien said slyly.
Serena decided to play along and see him make a fool of himself. "Oh?"
She
said in a sexy voice—but higher than normal. "And that would be?"
"Give me your number." He said.
"You have it, Darien. And won't your whore Raye get hurt? Wouldn't
want you
hurting two people at the same time." Serena said in her normal voice,
and
slapped him. Hard. Then she walked off calmly.
Darien
Serena heard touched his cheek. "S-S-Serena?" He whispered. She heard
him
nonetheless. "No shit, Sherlock." She said and kept walking. She felt
so
good; she didn't care about that piece of shit! 'Well,' she thought, 'I
do…'
and a tear fell down her face as the image of Raye and Darien came
back.
"No…Oh, god…" Serena needed to cry, but she told herself she was
stronger
than that and ran to Mina's. Mina would help her, wouldn't she? She WAS
the
goddess of love, after all. When she got to Mina's house she rang the
doorbell and leaned against the door, making sobbing noises.
"Konnichiwa?" Mina said, opening the door.
"Mina!" Serena cried.
"Um…who are you?" Mina said.
Serena felt like a dagger went through her heart. "Mina, it's me! It's
Serena!"
"Oh. Serena, look, go find somewhere else to whine. You and Darien are
ALWAYS fine, you're just overreacting. Plus, I'm busy. Andrew is coming
over
later. And I'd ask you to help me get ready, but you're always so
clumsy. I
want to look GOOD." Mina said, exasperated. "I like your hair better
long."
She said before shutting the door.
"Mina!" Serena cried, banging on the door. "Mina…" Her dignity
shredded,
Serena walked dejectedly to Lita's apartment in hopes of finding
someone to
console her. She went up and rang the doorbell and was greeted by
Lita's
smiling face.
"Konnichiwa! Genki desu ka?" Lita said. "Who are you?"
"Lita, it's me." Serena said.
"Oh! Serena, can we talk later? Please? I have some cookies baking and
then
a date. Since you have Darien, you don't think about US needing or
wanting
boyfriends, but we do. So please don't bitch to me about Darien when
you are
lucky enough to have a man that loves you." Lita said. Serena felt like
she
was just slapped. "See you later, Serena."
"Lita…"
"I'd get you some cookies later, but you need to lose weight." Lita
said
before closing the door in Serena's face. And what hurt Serena the most
was
that Lita knew how sensitive Serena was about her weight. Serena tried
in
vain to find Amy, but she knew none of the senshi would talk.
"Amy!" Serena said when the petite girl opened the door.
"Serena, I have a test tomorrow. I can't talk." Amy said and smiled.
"Maybe
after my schoolwork." Serena started to cry, but it was too late. Amy
shut
the door in her face.
"No…" Serena said, pounding on the door. "Amy…" She knew Amy could
hear
her. Why wasn't she answering?
"Serena!" A man yelled and ran up to her.
"Fuck OFF!" Serena yelled, mistaking the man for Darien.
"Okay, um…" Andrew said nervously.
"Oh! Andy, I'm so sorry." Serena said, running up and giving the 19
year
old a hug. Then she paused. "How did you recognize me?"
"The bracelet I gave you for your 15th birthday. It's still on your
wrist."
Serena looked at her wrist and saw the pink beads winding around the
single
twinkling diamond. "What else, though? Andy, a lot of people might have
this
bracelet."
"Well, your moon tattoo. I thought you'd think about that."
Serena remembered the tattoo of a moon and star on her back and then
remembered she was wearing an open-backed halter-top. "Oops!! Sorry."
She
said, trying to sound normal and cheerful.
"Sere, why were you crying? You're like my little sister." He said.
'Dammit, Andrew, you know that's not true…' he thought to himself, then
told
himself to shut up and tried to look normal.
"Darien…"
"That scumbag, what did he do to you? Serena?" Andrew said.
Serena looked surprised. "Andy, I thought he was your best friend."
"Yeah, until he slept with Rita and we broke up, he was." Andrew said,
anger at him boiling. 'You just HAD to tell her you're single now,
didn't
you, Andrew. You see? I'm right.' The annoying little voice inside of
him
nagged.
"Oh…"
"Oh, shit. I forgot…you two were still going out! I promised not to
tell…"
"Yeah, well, you kept the promise better than he did." Serena said,
walking
off.
"Nani?" Andrew said, running up to Serena.
"He and his little fucking whore did a little number for me." Serena
said
angrily.
"Oh, Sere! I'm sorry." He said to her, but the little voice was
telling him
'Yay! Now's your chance, you baka!' 'Shut UP,' he told it angrily.
"Yeah, well, shit happens." Serena said and walked faster.
"Um…here, for your birthday…everything you want at the Arcade, free."
Serena smiled. "Thank you, Andy. I'll take up that offer later…I have
to go
now though, ja ne."
"Ja ne, Sere." Andrew said, watching the petite 16 year old walk off
into
the sun.
'Damn, she's hot.' His little voice said.
"HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO SHUT UP!?" he yelled.
Serena turned around. "Andy? Are you okay?"
Andrew blushed. "Yeah, sorry, Sere."
"Daijobu." She said and kept walking.
'You know, people are going to think you're crazy.' The voice stated,
mirth
clear.
'Shut up.' He said. 'Shut up, shut up, shut up.'
'I can't.'
'You can too.'
'Cannot.'
'Can too.'
'I'm you, dumbass.'
'Go away…' Andrew said, walking to the Crown arcade, holding his ears.
