*Chapter Six*
-----------
-Present-
Serena was walking around the frat house looking for someone, anyone who would've
seen her brother or Darien. Of course, she had no luck and decided to go out in the back
and see if either of them were out there. Having no luck still, she went to leave the
backyard when she ran into someone she hadn't wanted to see for quite a long time.
"Well lookie who we have here," a tall redhead wearing very skimpy clothes stood
in front of her. "If it isn't little Miss Serena. How have you been little girl? Still
upset that I won in the end? Didn't you realize you never had a chance with Darien? Why
would he want you, when he could have me?"
"Look Beryl," Serena looked into the girls dark eyes, trying to contain herself.
"Just because you had to trick him into sleeping with you, doesn't mean you won. I have his
heart, which means you're shit outta luck, sweetie," her voice was dripping with venom.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to give something back to the man in question."
"Look here bitch," Beryl grabbed Serena's arm harshly. "I didn't have to trick him
to sleep with me. Darien did that on his own accord, and you should know that I have him
now. You'll never have him again."
"Let go of me now," she roughly grabbed Beryl's hand from her arm. "Darien knows
what type of person you are, so don't count your blessings too much. You lied to him about
the party, you made me believe he would actually cheat on me - with YOU. I'm not the naive
little girl I was last year, no I've definitely grown up. Whenever I want him back, I'll
get him back, so watch out. Oh, I think your luck is running out soon."
With that Serena walked away from the school slut Beryl Rivera. The one person who
always wanted to ruin her life and dreams, and did a year prior.
----------------------------------
-Past-
"Dariennnnnnnnn!!!!!" Serena sang out while entering the Shields' house.
"Serena, you're gonna wake up Mel!" Darien's mother, Emily Shields, told her
as she walked into the living room.
"Oops, sorry! Uhm, can you tell me where Dare is? I have a question I really need
to ask him, and it's kind of important."
"Sure sweetie, I think he's in the pool room with some of his friends," Mrs. Shields
told her.
"Thanks!" Serena told her and ran upstairs towards the pool room. When she got there
she noticed some of Darien's friends from highschool. There was Greg - another genius, Ken -
who happened to be Lita's boyfriend, and Chad - who had a major crush on Raye. "So tell me,
why is it I wasn't invited to play pool with you men?" She asked, catching the attention of
all the guys in the room.
"Baby!" Darien said as he rushed over to Serena and picked her up. "I thought you
had student council after school?" He asked as he put her down and kissed her forehead.
"Yeah, I was supposed to, but then Justin - the VP - had to go home early. He was
sick, or so he claimed, and therefore we had to reschedule," she replied while laying down
on the couch.
"Oh, that's cool. Had I known you would be home this early I wouldn't have invited
the guys here, and then we could spend more time together," Darien said with a mischevious
wink.
"Dude, you're picking your girl over your friends! You suck, you know that?" Chad
said to Darien.
"You're just jealous Raye doesn't give you any other attention besides yelling at
you, so get off it," he replied back with a laugh.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," Chad hung his head in defeat.
"Uh, I think that was Darien's way of telling us to leave. Later D! C'mon guys,"
Ken said while exiting the room, followed by Chad and Greg.
"So babe, you know what I like the most about you?" Darien asked while picking up
Serena and laying down on the couch with her on top of him.
"Hmm...the fact that I have boobs and you don't?" she replied dryly.
"Dammit, how'd you guess?"
"Well, you're always looking at them, so I just figured. Doesn't it suck that you
don't get to see them daily like I do?" she teased him
"Hmm, but I think I could get a glimpse," he said while unbuttoning her plain white
button up shirt.
"You know, your mother is downstairs. What would she say if she walked in as you
were trying to catch a glimpse?"
"Who knows, who cares?" He continued to unbutton her shirt.
"Ok Dare...time to be serious. No boob watching right now," Serena pulled his hands
away from her shirt and started buttoning it back up. Sitting up on his abs, she decided it
was time to talk to him about why she came over. "Darien?"
"Sere?"
"Stop it!" she smacked him playfully.
"I've already been forced to stop what I wanted to do today. What is it?" he asked
her, still pouting.
"Oh you big baby! It's not like you'll never see them, just get over it. This is
important!"
"Ok, I'm sorry, I was just messing anyways. What is it?" he asked about as seriously
as he could at the moment.
"Well, I know you haven't been to a dance in 2 years, but I was kinda wondering if
maybe you'd go with me to the Winter Formal?"
"You stopped me from the previous activity to ask me if I would go to a dance with
you?"
"Fine! I knew you wouldn't want to," she got off of him and started to leave.
"Forget I even asked, I just won't go."
Darien got up off the couch fast and went after her, "Baby, don't think I don't want
to go with you. Of course I'll go with you, I was just playing around. Please, don't leave
me. You just got here and I haven't seen you all week long 'cuz you've been so busy," he
dragged her back to the couch, pulling her onto his lap.
"You sure? I mean, you don't have to go, I was just wondering. I really want to go,
but only if it's with you," she laid her head on his shoulder as he rubbed her back.
"Of course Sere, I'd love to go with you. I haven't been to a dance since we went
to prom together my senior year. I wouldn't want you to go with anyone else, and I wouldn't
dare want you to not even go."
"Aww, thanks D. I love you," she said and tilted her face up towards his.
"I love you too, baby," he lowered his lips to hers and kissed her softly.
----------------------------------
"Hey Rena," her mother called out as she entered the house, "Mina's upstairs already.
She looked upset about something."
"Thanks mom," Serena said while going upstairs. She found Mina laying on her bed and
could distinctly hear her sobbing. "Mi..? What's wrong sweetie?" she asked as she sat next
to her and started rubbing her back.
"He, he broke up with...me..." Mina started crying some more.
"Sweetie, sit up, I can't understand you too well," she said while pulling Mina up to
a sitting position. "Now, what's wrong?"
"Ry..Ryan..he broke up with me. He told me he didn't have time for a stupid little
senior girl anymore. He's been cheating on me since school started, and even before!" Mina
cried into Serena's shoulder.
"Who's he been cheating on you with? Grr, I'll kick his ass for you!" she was
outraged. 'How could anyone hurt Mi? She's the best person in the world, I swear!'
"Remember the bitch...Be..Ber...Beryl?"
"Ew, her? You mean the girl who always told me last year that Darien was hers? The
same bitch who made up stories about us?"
"Ye..ah...her."
"Tell me you're joking?"
"I wish I was. He's...he's been sleeping with her since graduation."
"Of course, Beryl will open her legs for anyone. Sweetie, it's ok. You don't need
someone like Ryan in your life. You're too good for him, always have been, always will be."
"Bu..but still. Now I don't have anyone to go to the Winter Formal with me. I've
already got the dress and the tickets, and it's in less than a month!"
"Drew will prolly go with you," Serena told her as if she'd come up with the greatest
idea ever. "Infact, I know he will. Oh Mina, he's been infatuated with you since we were
younger."
"Yeah right, I wish. Besides, wouldn't it be bad for a college junior to go to a
stupid high school dance? With a stupid little senior anyways?"
"He doesn't care. What are you saying though? I'm bringing a college sophmore to
the dance with me. Are you saying he's too good for me?"
"Wait, you're going with DARIEN?" Mina had stopped crying by now, and was starting to
act like her normal self - hyper.
"Of course. Why would we be going out, and yet I'm not going to bring him?"
"Oh shut up, that's awesome! When did you ask him?"
"Just right before I got home. I was over at his house, since student council got
out early, and so I asked him, and then we chilled for awhile."
"Yeah sure, I bet that's all you were doing," Mina said with a wink.
"Oh, you're disgusting! It is all that we were doing, why do you always think that
it's something different besides that?"
"Hmm...maybe because he's a 19-yr old man, and you're..."
"Not even 17 yet!"
"Yeah, but you can't sit there and tell me you don't think about what it would be
like to be with him like that, seriously Serena! How long have you been in love with him
now? Your entire life?"
"So what if I might wonder. He won't anyways."
"Yeah right, the guy wants you bad. I don't know how he's held off since you've been
together, honestly. I swore he would've taken you the second he saw you."
"Mina, shut up. Besides, either way I've never done anything like that before. I
know he thinks he's supposed to take it slower than he might've if I was older. I appreciate
that too, because I'm not sure if I'm ready."
"You're too cute. Get over it, you want him, he wants you.."
"Yeah, but I don't want it to be like THAT. Besides, weren't we talking about YOU and
my BROTHER ANDREW?"
"Ok, I get the point. I'll ask him to go with me, but you better be right about this
Rena. If you're not, I'm going to make you pay."
"Love you too, now get out. I have homework to do!" Serena pushed her best friend
out of her room, and started to do some work. Thinking about what Mina said about Darien, she
wondered why they hadn't really discussed anything about that aspect of their lives. 'I know
he's not a virgin anymore, but why is he so quiet about that kind of stuff. I know I told
Mina I'm not ready for something like that, but I kinda think I am. Oh Darien, if only you'd
tell me what happened in Europe.'
-----------
Notes: So, I've had half of this ready for awhile, and I finally figure out what more to put
in it. Yeah, it's not the greatest, but hopefully it's good enough. I need to start getting
this going to where I planned for it to be, but I keep getting off track. Oh well, the first
part sorta shows you where everything is going to be at. Hopefully I'll have the next
chapter out sooner, but I'm not sure. Stupid college. *kicks college* Anyway, hopefully
someone liked this chapter, and this story.
