Goodbye, Serena
Chapter Three
Rejection #2
Finally Serena stopped running and doubled over with her hands on her thighs, struggling
to catch her breath.
*How could Raye reject me like that?* Her subconscious demanded. *How?!*
"Mina..." she breathed. Mina Aino was her very best friend after Raye, she'd help her. She'd
never turn her back on Serena the way the priestess of Cherry Hill temple just had.
Straightening up, Serena ran as fast as she could to Mina's house, her long ribbons of
golden hair streaming out behind her. Once she arrived, she banged on the door. She knew
she must be a mess--her hair half fallen, her eyes red from crying, her clothes a little dirty
and ripped, her knee scaped from when she tripped in the park. But Mina wouldn't care.
"Serena??" The door had cracked open when Serena had been reflecting on her appearance,
and a whisper had split the quiet night air. "What are you doing here?!"
"Mina?" Serena stepped forward and pushed open the door. "What are you doing? Let me
in." She wiped a stray tear from her cheek.
Mina's face was flushed red and her eyes were sparkling with excitement. She didn't even
seem to notice Serena's disheveled appearance or tear-streaked face.
"Sere, guess what!" She exclaimed in a whisper. She pushed the meatball headed blonde
out the door after a glance back into the house, and stepped out herself. Shutting the door
behind her, Mina jumped up and down, grabbed her friend, and hugged her while doing a
little victory dance. "The new boy is here!"
"You mean...Robert?" Serena asked, racking her brain for the boys name.
"Yes! And we're--"
"Mina?" a male voice floated out from inside, and Mina bounced in excitement. "Gotta go,
Sere! Seeya tomorrow!" She ran inside.
"No, Mina, wait, it's important--"
"Not NOW, Serena!" Mina's voice sounded decidedly important. "I'm sure it's not important.
Now go away!" The door slammed on her hurt, surprised face.
Dejectedly, Serena turned around and walked slowly down Mina's driveway. Deep in her
subconscious, she knew her best friend didn't mean it--she was just excited about mackin'
with the cute new boy. But still, it was two clean blows to Serena's already Darien-bruised
pride in one night, and that was almost more than she could take.
"I'll go see Lita." she said decidedly. Lita would listen...Wouldn't she?
