Goodbye Serena
Chapter Two
Rejection #1


"Raye?" Serena knocked on the door again, and it took all her strength not to face out
crying."Raye! Open up!"

Finally, a sleepy looking Raye Hino flung open the door.

"What do you want, Meatball Head?" she snapped, more angrily than she'd intended. "I was
sleeping! Why are you here?"

Serena blinked and recoiled slightly. "Raye?" she asked uncertainly.

Raye huffed out a sigh and pushed a hand through her coal black hair, her violet-black eyes
flashing with impatience. "Okay, Serena. Come in. The sooner you come in, the sooner
you can leave." (AN: I know Raye isn't this mean. But she just woke up, so...)

Cautiously, Serena stepped through the doorway and into Raye's impossibly neat shrine.

"What's up, Rena?" Raye said, sound slightly kinder.

*Maybe she noticed I'm about to start bawling,* Serena thought, chuckling bitterly to herself.

"I saw Darien... With... I mean, I went to his apartment, and he was hugging...Jessica."

"Jessica?" Raye rolled her eyes. (AN: She knows what really went down with Darien and
Jess.) "Yeah, right, fat chance." She sighed. "You woke me up for *that*? Get a life, Meatball
Head!"

Serena gasped, and she stepped away from her priestess friend so fast several long blonde
strands flew out in front of her.

"How--how could you say that, Raye? I thought you were my best friend!" Her blue eyes turned
silver-ish with another coating of tears, and she turned and fled.

"Serene--" Raye ran to the door, just as it slammed shut behind the blonde. "--a."

Looking through the window at the top of the door, Raye gasped. Why?...

...Because she'd just noticed the suitcase in Serena's hand.
