Chapter 1
Darien and Serena sat under the cherry blossom in the park watching the ducks swim by in silence until Darien broke the silence.
" Okay so how am I suppose to become a dream guy when I look like this?" Darien asked.
Serena smiled and replied,
" That's why I am here to help. By the time we get through with this, you'll be every girls dream guy." Darien gave a little dreamy smile until Serena burst out laughing.
" What!" Darien asked defensively.
" If you could have seen your face just now, I would have died of embarrassment if I even got caught with that stupid look." Serena laughed until her sides ached. Darien narrowed his eyes at her until she got under control.
" It would be nice if you didn't laugh at me." Darien uttered.
" Now you wonder why people make fun of you." Serena shot back. Darien gave her a confused looked but Serena didn't explain anything yet. She needed to explain everything to him when he was totally ready to take it in.
" Okay let's begin. Darien how old are you and what grade?"
" Why would that matter?"
" Don't answer my question with a question. It sounds really lame."
" Okay, okay, I just turned 17 and a junior."
" Okay, this is what you have to do."
" What?"
" You will be the same nerdy guy when the basketball season ends."
Darien didn't understand what Serena was saying at all.
" I thought you said I would have everything I dreamed of."
" Would you hold up! You didn't let me explain why I said that. Like I said, if you want that you have to trust me. Now that we have that understood, like I was saying before I was rudely interrupted from some certain geek over there which I will remain nameless Darien." Serena started to say until Darien snapped back,
" Why don't you get off my back! On second thought, why don't you just leave me alone you lunatic midget. I don't know how you found me but find some other gullible loser to do your bidding because I'm not going to stand here getting insulted by the likes of you. I had it, I don't need you to help me get Leanne, and I can't get her with someone else's advice. I don't need you, I'm outta here." With that, Darien turned his back on Serena and started to walk away from everything he has ever dreamed of. Darien couldn't understand how Serena was being so mean about everything. He was a guy that needed help but all she could do is stand there and rip him to pieces like the rest of them. True, she was telling him the truth but couldn't she have found an easier way to do it? Darien thought. He was never been so angry in his life, not when Nick would constantly pick at him, not when he saw Leanne go with Nick after the games or making out in the hallways and not even when people would give him a twirly in the bathroom toilets at school. This midget of a girl could rally him up like no other and Darien couldn't understand why she could bother him that much. Darien never in his life blew up at anyone but it actually felt good to defend himself to someone. Venting off steam lifted Darien off the ground and he didn't feel like some dirt off of someone's shoe for the first time in his life. Darien was in such a deep thought that he didn't hear the racket behind him until it started to soak through his ear. Darien looked back and realized that weird midget of a girl was causing that racket. Serena was clapping and jumping up and down like some kind of monkey looking for a banana. Darien started slowly walking back to where Serena stood acting like a monkey on a rampage. He waited for Serena to quiet down and wanted to know what had got her riled up.
" That was great Darien!" Serena basically shouted.
Darien gave her a confused stare before asking,
" What was great? What did I do?"
" Don't you see! That was so cool." Serena jumped up and down.
" Okay, no you have me really confused and you better explain before I start walking away from you." Darien offered.
" Step one to becoming the guy you want to be."
" What?"
" Never let anyone walk over you. Stand up for yourself and be sure of yourself." Serena pointed out.
" Did I really do that?" Darien looked shocked.
" Yes, that was so great! Don't you see that you're slowly starting to change." Serena put in.
" Okay, now you have me hooked, what am I suppose to do now?" Darien asked. He was very intrigued at what this blond midget had to say. He had a feeling only she could provoke some kind of response from him and now he wanted to know what else she could do for him. This could get very interesting when the right things happen, Darien thought.
" Well to be honest, we have to change your walk."
" My walk? I happen to walk." Darien said.
" That's the point Dare. You like your walk a little to much than most people." Serena replied.
" I don't get your meaning, say it again please." Darien looked confusedly.
" To say it bluntly, Dare you walk like you have a corncob up your ass." Serena shot out.
" What! I do not walk like that."
" Yes you do."
" No I don't. I walk normal."
" No you don't. You walk like a like an old granny. Oh wait never mind, old grannies walk with at least a hunch, you don't. Your walk definitely has to go somewhere and it's not going to be here." Serena pointed out.
Darien shook his head but knew she was right. He had a feeling this was going to be a very long time when this was going to be over. Darien wondered what he was getting himself into.
" Okay, try to walk like me." Serena directed. Serena slowly started to walk to the other side of the tree but with kind of a lazy slouch to it. Serena walked to the tree and then lazily turned around to walk back to him.
Darien thought it looked pretty easy, so he started to walk to the tree. He walked to the tree, turned around then started to walk back to Serena. He stopped when he noticed Serena rolling on the grass with laughter.
" What!" Darien asked defensively.
Serena looked up at him but couldn't get anything out of her mouth at that moment. Serena opened her mouth, shut it, opened it and shut it again. She couldn't for the life of her get anything out at that moment.
Darien waited patiently for Serena to say something and finally she calmed down enough to utter something.
" That was the most pathetic walk I have ever seen a guy do. You call that a walk? It looked like some duck trying to wobble with crutches and it looked like it wasn't going to make it. That was just too funny to express." Serena exclaimed. Serena knew she was going to have her work cut out for her especially if he couldn't do something simple like walking.
" What? I did not walk like that. I thought I did pretty good to be honest." Darien proudly said, puffing his chest out a little.
Serena laughed again and got up from the ground.
" You really want to know how you were walking? Here I'll show you." Serena started to walk to the tree just how Darien did it.
Darien started to laugh at the picture Serena displayed, that girl was something.
" I did not walk like that." Darien argued when Serena got back.
" Yes you do and you know because if you truly believe you didn't walk like that, you wouldn't be giving me that stupid grin of yours." Serena shot back.
Darien shook his head, he knew for certain Serena wouldn't lie to him and she was telling him the truth.
" Okay, okay. How do you walk it again?" Darien surrendered. Serena gave him a smug smile before walking back to the tree again with that natural walk again. Darien stared intently at her, when she came back; he started for the tree. Darien thought he had it until he looked over at Serena and she shook her head with a laugh. Darien gave a sigh before starting over and over again. An hour passed before Serena jumped up with a yell.
" Yes that's it! You by golly got it! Finally, finally, you did something right! Give a holler for my friend g-dollar! Heee just kidding, but give a yell for this fellow here, he knows how to walk." Serena excitedly yelled and soon people were stopping to stare at the very strange girl.
Darien groaned and tried to hide in his hands but it was tough when Serena had them captured in her own. Darien gave the by passers a weak smile before moving the girl somewhere.
" You are so embarrassing, do you know that?" Darien groaned at Serena.
" See that is also your problem, you have to let things go and not make such a big deal out of it. Let it go and see how you feel. It feels great when you can be yourself, who cares if people are watching. Have fun and don't think too much." Serena explained to him.
" I don't know if I can do that, that's not me Serena." Darien scratched his head with a hand.
" In do time you will Darien, in time. Why don't we meet up again tomorrow, same place, same time?" Serena asked.
" Okay, sounds good. Have a good night and see you tomorrow." With a wave Darien walked down the street to his house.
" Bye Darien." Serena whispered. Serena looked up into the sky and knew even after a day, Darien was slowly starting to change. Serena closed her eyes and whispered a prayer that was blown into the slight breeze. Serena turned the opposite direction Darien had gone and walked alone back home. Serena didn't know if she could continue this but knew she just had to, for everyone's sake.

Other than all of that I hope that you enjoy my story and hope you like it. I'm sorry if it took a long time to get this out but the next chapter should be sooner to come out. Thanks for being patient!
