Don't own SM
When they both stepped outside, Darien took out a cigarette and smoked. 'What the hell is he doing???' thought Serena. 'I thought I was gonna kick his ass and go back inside...wait a minute...is he thinking that he'll definitely win and he's trying to make me lose my ground?? Ohh, damn stuck-up bastard!'. After 10 minutes, Serena was fuming. Darien regarded her with amusement. He can actually see smoke coming out of her ears and nostrils. 'She's probably wondering what the hell am I doing. She probably thought that she'll just kick my ass and go back inside...I'm just trying to make her lose her ground, that's all' thought Darien. After almost 15 minutes passed with Darien smoking and Serena standing there glaring at him, she decided to speak. "Ahem, if I had known that all you were going to do is smoke, I would have stayed inside. Let's just start". "Nah, I'm gonna finish this, it helps me relax" said Darien. Serena stared at him incredulously. "I hope that guy dies with lung cancer or something..." muttered Serena under her breath. "Sorry, did you say something?" asked Darien. He heard the 'die with lung cancer' phrase but wasn't sure whether he was going to die or she was going to die of second-hand smoke or something. "Nothing, nothing" said Serena plastering on a fake smile. When Darien turned away, she wiped off the smile in half a second. The clock was ticking and the cigarette was still smoking. Serena couldn't take it! She ripped the cigarette out of Darien's mouth and slapped him across the face. "What the hell was that for? God, you are mad annoying. F****** bitch!" Darien was very much aggravated and pushed Serena to the ground. He jumped on her and pinned one arm down while punching her face with the other arm. Serena tried to shield his fist away from her face with not much success. She then kicked Darien right in his **** and sent him sprawling. At that precise moment, the bell rang and Darien stood up. He gave one last disgusted look at Serena before kicking her again and ran off back to the school. Serena was left on the concrete floor. Her lip was swollen and bleeding. Her nosed gave a black and blue and her arms were sore. "Ugh, does that guy ever beat up his girlfriends? I gotta ask Raye" said Serena out loud. She tried to stand up but failed. So Serena settled for leaning against the fence that surrounded the school grounds. In the distance, she can see Mina, Raye, Lita, and Amy running towards her. As soon as the girls reached her, they all gasped. "Serena, what happened to you??" asked Lita. "What do you think dodo brain, Darien beat the living shit outta her!" replied Mina. Raye and Amy stood there motionless. Finally, Raye said, "It was all my fault. I endangered one of my friends". "No Raye, it's no one's fault but mines...and Darien's. Actually, it felt good to slap him and kick him in his...you know..." said Serena with a grin. It was almost worth the pain to see Darien helpless on the ground. All four girls just stared at Serena. Amy finally sat down next to Serena, took Serena's hand into her own, and said, "Serena, I admire you for what you did. Thank you. It is an honor to have you as our friend". Lita just laughed and patted Serena on the back. "She meant 'good going girl!'" said Lita. "Yea, congrats!" said Mina. "I wish I could have seen that" said Raye and for the first time in a while, Raye actually smiled with true happiness. Everyone was glad for their new addition in the group.

Darien limped into chemistry class a few seconds before the bell rang. Fortunately, the teacher wasn't here yet. Jadeite and Malachite were saving a seat for Darien. They saw what happened at lunch and wanted to know what happened outside the school. "Well...how did it go?" asked Jad (AN: I'm getting too lazy so 'Jad' means Jadeite, okiez?). Darien groaned and they both laughed. "I take it that that means not too well, eh Dare?" said Mal (AN: Mal=Malachite) "See, I was smoking right? And then outta no where, that crazy-ass hoe just came and snatched away my cigarette and slapped her hand across my face! So I pushed her to the ground, pinned her down and started beating the crap outta her until she kicked me in the...you know where..." said Darien. He winced at the memory. Jad and Mal exchanged looks. "What?" said Darien. "Well...she's not even your girlfriend and you're being abusive...if you do get her on a date, and that's a big if, if you do well then...just don't kill her" said Mal. Darien just stared at them. He would never kill any of his girlfriends. Sure once or twice they need a good smack, slap, punch, or kick to get them going but that's not much, right? Obviously Mal and Jad didn't agree. The teacher then walked in and Jad, Mal, and Darien all turned towards the blackboard, ready for another 45 minutes of boring chemical equations.

At the end of the day...
'I swear, tomorrow, I'm going to bring roller blades. I hate walking home'. After a grueling 20 minutes of walking, she finally reached her house. For once, Serena took a look around her new neighborhood with interest. Every house was separated by at least two acres of land. All the houses were two floored and each house had two cars in the garage. The houses were in a style that had to be very very very expensive. She turned towards her house which had two balconies and an artificial pond installed on the front yard. Serena never realized how much money her parents had until now. It really wasn't a matter to her. Back in Japan, they lived in a huge manor but so did everyone else that lived around them and her friends at school all had the same gadgets as she did. She grew up thinking that everyone had a big home and lots of land and money. Now she finally realized that it wasn't exactly like that. In the distance, about 12 houses down, she spotted Raye. 'I thought Raye said she lived at a temple' said Serena. Finally, it occurred to her that Raye was probably just visiting a friend. Seconds later however, she heard Darien's voice. In a split second, Serena realized that that was Darien's house. After her encounter with him today, she was less than happy to meet up with him again. However, she was very worried about Raye especially after the breakup. Serena went inside her house. "Serena! We've been keeping dinner for you honey. Would you like some?" said Mrs. Tsukino. She was very happy to see her daughter. 'This change has been good for her. She's making friends and doing excellently in schoolwork' thought Mrs. Tsukino. Since the lighting was not very good in the hallway, Mrs. Tsukino did not notice that bruise on Serena's mouth and nose. 'Damn, how can I avoid this dinner without sounding rude' thought Serena. Taking a deep breath, Serena smiled and said, "Not now mom, maybe later, wait, I promise later. I have to go grab my skates and check on something for a minute. One of my friends is just down the block and I want to see what's up". 'Worried about her friends before her dinner. She's maturing adequately' though Mrs. Tsukino with approval. Mrs. Tsukino nodded and said "Okay, don't be long though". Serena breathed a sigh of relief and she ran up the stairs to snag her skates and get out of the house. Once she was on the block again, she skated down to Darien's house.
