From Arizona To California ch. 3



"What??" Jake asked. " I said, do you know Serena Lean?" Darien yelled into the phone. His brother was at a dorm party and obvioulsy the music was to loud. "Ouch, lower your voice, please." Jake said. "Well oviously you couldn't hear me before." Darien argued. He looked into his watch and tapped his foot impatiently. he had been in his car waiting for Jake to pick up the phone and finally when he did he wasn't anserwing the question. "Yeh i know her. Why do you ask?" jake asked. " Well i met up with this girl today. And we were talking, and then she mentioned, uhm, something like , Say hi to Jake." Darien anserwed. "Ohh, you don't remember her?" Jake said. "You obviously dont, shes the one i kind of had a crush on back in 6th grade." "Ohhhh" darien said , remembering a little. "Look we can talk later but I gota run out and get some beer." "yeh OK bye." Darien hanged up his cell phone and leaned back on the seat. Realization dawned on him. Serena Lean, the one he always saw in pictures from his brother while he was away in military school.
She was the one who always had a bright smile on her face, and her golden hued hair in the funniest style he ever saw. Almost like Meatballs. His parents had made him go there, saying he was a rebel, always making trouble in the neighborhood and that he had more potential in him than that.
He remembered when he had first seen the picture of her hair like that he had cracked up and stuck the picture on his side of the wall. But even though he had laughed her smile and eyes and almost everything about her had made him wonder, wonder what it would be like to actually meet her , what her personality was like, even though he already knew, at least from what Jake had told him.

Flash back.~~~~.~~~

"Carter!" Captain Treyoryn yelled. Darien snickered at the name, who in gods name would pick such a name. At least to him it was funny. Darien was 16 at the time. He stood up straight in his blue sweatpants and grey t-shirt. Trying to hide the snicker back he replied "Yes Captain" "Mail!" Treyoryn handed Darien the envelope. "At Ease" The captain said leaving the room. Darien mocked the captain "At Ease" he said in a deep voice. "I'm just an old grouch who can't get a girl if I paid them" Darien said, cracking up in the end, and giving a high five to one of his buds, Pete. Darien sat down on the arm chair and looked at the envelop in his hand. "Whats that about?" Pete asked looking over his shoulder. "I don't know, probably from Jake" Darien said opening the envelope.

He read the letter out loud and checked out the picture Jake mentioned. It was a picture of Serena, her hair in meatballs.

Flashback end~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Serena was finally in her room still thinking about the days events. She plopped herself onto the cushy bed in the hotel. 'Wow, what a suprise today was. Who woulda thought i would see Darien. .... I wonder what Jake would think? Geesh i haven't seen in him in ages now.' She plunked down flat on her back and grabbed the t.v. remote. She watched anime, until she looked at the clock. ITs red digits stating that it was 11:51pm. Thinking it better to get ready and get a head start for the morning she took out her formal outfit that her aunt had given to her before she left. It was a pale pink skirt with frilly ends and a white blouse with a collar. She took out her white brief case and white high heels.

8:23am the next morning

Serena woke up with a start she had the worse nightmare. She looked at her clock "Damn i'm gonna be late" she groaned turning over and turning on her radio, a litele loud but she was used to it that way. She rushed out of bed to take a shower, a quick one and brush her teeth. After taking her bath she threw on her clothes and was hoping as she put on her stockings to grab her bagel out of the toaster. just then she heard a knock at the door. "Coming!" she yelled the bagel in her mouth. She tripped on her stockings while she was hopping to the door. "Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!" she screamed as she landed on the floor. The knock was becoming more insisting at the door. She picked her self up quickly and walked over to the door. Serena opened the door to a middle aged lady in a robe with her hair tied up in curlers. Her face was in a big frown and her mud mask was peeling away. The women had an angry nagging look to her and right away Serena knew this wouldn't be good.
Serena quickly brushed down her hair with her hand, which she knew must have been a tangled mess. "Hello!" Serena said putting on a bright smile. "Yeah, hello. Do you know that some people are trying to sleep still? And with your loud racket i doubt anyone can get any sleep." the lady said. "Theres no one in here but me. My boyfriends not hiding in the closet. And if he was i wouldnt be standing here now," Serena smiled giving her sweetest smile, straining her voice to sound calm. " Dont be smart with me young lady!" the lady scolded. "You have no respect for your elders....." the lady droaned on. Serena drowned her out and remembered why she had been running late before. She ran back inside and slipped on her shoes, pinned her hair up quickly and grabbed her bagel. She suprised herself by doing all this in one minute or less. She hurried out the door and rememberd the lady standing there. " You better turn down your...." The lady was still nagging her !!! 'yeh yeh yeh' Serena mocked "Bu Bye." Serena said closing the door behind her, leaving the lady still standing at the door. The elevator doors opened and Serena got in. 'ahhhh piece and quiet.' she sighed smiling smugly at the closing elevator doors.
