1 "Watch Out Meatball Head !"

1.1 Chapter 5

****************************Serena****************************

dark ……………… everything was black. i heard distant voices, or yells maybe. i opened my eyes and instantly a fuzzy picture came into focus. I was in a crowded room. People were rushing about all over the place.

"is she gonna be alright ?"

"I'll go and call a doctor"

"I'm going to get her a glass of water"

why were they speaking so loudly I thought, as there voices echoed through my mind. I shook my head trying to block there voices, the only good that did was trigger a sharper pain in the corner of my head. I winced. I closed my eyes, trying unsuccessfully to stop the feeling of the pain from searing all over my body. I felt someone pick me up and the next thing I knew was that I was lying in my bed again. I felt a warm cloth being pressed against my forehead.

"I hit my head I don't have a fever, you know" I managed to say groggily.

"she's awake !" there were squeals. I winced again.

I finally pried open my eyes, my mother was kneeling on the floor by my bed tears streaming down her face. The blue haired girl was standing over me holding the warm wet cloth looking embarrassed. The other three girls were all huddled over my mother. They squealed again, realizing I was awake.

"Please don't be so loud" I said. They were all silent for a minute, and I couldn't help but think that if these girls were my friends I was doing a good job of pushing them away. Then my mum started crying again.

"its all my fault !" she said. "I put that there, I shouldn't have. It was supposed to be that near shampoo, to make you feel better not for you to slip and fall and hit your head again !" she sobbed.

I looked around and realized that I was covered in pink goo. Rose smelling pink goo. I wrinkled my nose, at the strong smell. Well at least I smelt nice. I pushed myself up into a sitting position using my elbows.

I looked over at my pink carpeted floor which was now smeared with pink shampoo. And something that appeared to be white powder ? I must have knocked the shampoo over when I had lost my balance, one thing was sure I hadn't slipped.

"I didn't slip" I said. My mother stopped crying, they all looked at me questioningly. "I lost my balance, because I was scratched. Probably some wild animal" I said examining my wrist, sure enough it had a red mark of scratches going across it.

"Wild animal ?" the blond haired girl asked. "you must be talking about Luna!" she said.

"Luna?" I frowned.

"Yeah," she laughed "your pet cat, but she would never scratch you"

'meow' I looked in the direction of the meow, sure enough a black cat sat in the corner of my window, looking … sorry ?

"what were you doing with her litter box anyway ?" the black haired girl asked.

"litter box ? what litter box ?" I snapped my attention back at the girls. We starred at each other for a second. Everything was starting to make sense now. . . . . the white shoe box I had taken had been the cats litter box, thinking that it would have a key to unlock my memories ! when I had taken the litter box it had upseted Luna, the cat ! the girls and I starred at each other for a few more seconds as the situation dawned to us.

Then we all burst out laughing hysterically !!! it felt good to laugh. Even my mum was laughing ! when we all calmed down, my mum got up and offered to go and prepare some snacks. The girls sat down in various places in my room. And an uncomfortable silence took over us as we all thought of something to say.

****************************Darien****************************

my fist made contact with a jaw. I watched helplessly as the boy fell to the ground. I panicked as I starred at the body, I had just hit my so called best friend. My face palled as the truth dawned to me. I killed that girl and now my best friend. I didn't deserve to live. I starred at Andrew, he was lying with his back on the ground, a trail of blood glistened as it trailed down his cheek. That was the last straw. Something inside me snapped, at that instant. I just turned around and ran, I didn't know where I was going or what I was accomplishing from running, all I knew was that I had to get away – away from all this unfamiliar things.

*****************************Andrew**************************

one minute I was tapping my best friend on the shoulder the next minute I was lying on the ground, from receiving a blow from my best friend. Everything had happened so fast, they didn't register at first. Then I felt something cold and soft against my cheek. I pried open my eyes, and found myself starring at an old lady, about 60 with white hair. She was crouched next to me and holding a handkerchief against my cheek. I groaned and slowly pushed myself up into a sitting position.

"don't move dear, you might have broken a bone." The lady said. Trying to push me back down.

"uhh no I'm fine. Really." I said wiping the corner of my mouth. 'I'd only received one blow for gods sake. Not got run over by a truck.' I instantly felt bad. The lady was only trying to help me. I slowly got up, and flexed my feet. They were fine. I bent my arms, they were o.k., I was fine except for my jaw, which felt like I had a golf ball stuck in it. I smiled painfully at the lady.

"Really I'm fine." I repeated. Then after telling her again not to worry, I turned away from her concerned face and walked away from the park. I didn't know where Darien had gone, but I was going over to Serena's house. I knew that she was going to be home today, and that all her friends were going to be there too. I'd come to the park in the 1st place because I knew Darien was going to be there. I'd thought that he'd like to come with me over to Serena's and celebrate with us, but I knew that that wasn't going to happen in a hurry. Not today anyway.

I didn't know what to make of what Darien had done. One thing was sure, I wasn't mad at him – I knew he hadn't done it on purpose. The look on his face when he realized who he was going to hit, said it all. I could forgive him, I just hope he could forgive himself.

******************************Serena**************************

I was feeling very happy, I was sitting around in the living room joking about with my friends, my mum had gotten us our snacks and was now shopping in the supermarket, which means she'd be gone for at least 2 and a half hours (the supermarket is a half hours drive away). It wasn't easy convincing my mum but Ray was good at that. She told my mum that I would be fine as long as someone was with me at all times. We fell into a comfortable silence. We'd talked about absolutely everything, everything except for the accident. I also wanted to ask them about the brooch and the calculator thingy (communicator). No time like the present I thought.

I opened my mouth to ask them, but I was interrupted by the doorbell.

"I'll get it" I said getting up instantly. They exchanged a quick look, then nodded.

"We'll be in the back yard." Mina said. (A.N. I don't even know if Serena has a back yard, but pretend she does)

I walked into the hall way and towards the door. I opened it, and gasped out loud. And without thinking I uttered his name out loud.

*~*~*~* yup ! you guessed it another chapter ending in suspense ! as you're reading this I'm working on my next chapter, I'll post as soon as I'm done. And I bet your thinking the guy at the door is Darien !!! well it could be ….. or not ! you'll have to wait and find out !
