As Darien was walking back he said to himself WOW I almost asked Serena out! As he was walking away Andrew saw the look that Serena was giving Darien as he walked away. He mouthed "he likes you". Serena only stared again only catching the he likes part of that. She just shrugged her shoulders and waved good-bye. As Serena was walking she thought to her self. That was really strange! I wonder what Andrew was trying to say? Maybe I'll ask him tomorrow. Next Day at Juban High School-Monday

"Hey Serena wake up"! Lita waved her hand in front of Serena's face yelling for her to come back into the group. "Hmm. oh ya sorry". Serena replied nervously. "What's been with you today girl"? Rei said. "Ya it's like you to space out in class but not at lunch what's up"? Amy put in. "Sorry guys I was just thinking". "Thinking is not like you what's on your mind that's got you hooked"? Serena looked at all the girls then finally said "Darien and Andrew". At this comment every girl sat in silence with her jaws hanging open. Serena then turned to Lita and asked "hey can I talk to you for a second please, ya know before lunch is over"? "Ya sure". Lita was the first to say anything. As the two girls got up and started walking away the rest of them just keep on staring. Serena and Lita's point of view

"So what's up girl you kinda put us in total shock after what you said"? "Lita your pretty close to Darien right"? Serena asked. "Yes, why do you ask"? "Well, I. was just wondering." Serena started to trail of when Lita said, "ya so go on"! "I was just wondering if you could talk to him for me about something"? Serena asked curious to hear her answer. "Well uh. it depends on what you want me to talk to him about." Lita replied.

Well yesterday after you left CGC I stayed and talked to Jason for a while. So any ways I over heard Darien talking to Andrew about some girl. Saying about how beautiful she was and that he. he. thinks he might be in LOVE with her! Then when I was about to leave he ran up to me and wanted to talk to me about something. Then he said never mind but I asked him again and he said never mind again. Although the scary part is that he said by to me and when he did he used my real name"! Serena finally finished saying. "Well um. sure I guess but if he doesn't want to say I'm not going to pressure him okay. If you still want to know then your going to have to ask him your self". "Ya I understand, thanx Lita"! Next Day at Darien's place-Tuesday

"So any ways, uh. Darien I was a. just wondering who you. like"? Lita asked nervously. Darien just stared at her thinking about what to say oh no what do I say I can't tell her I like Serena she's not ready to know yet. Um. think Darien, think, who's cute Danielle Sanchez {A very pretty Jr. and very popular single among the boys}. "Oh ok". Was Lita's only reply. "Why"? "Oh. no reason well, I go to go so I'll see ya at school tomorrow ok". "Ya I'll walk you out". Next day at school-Wednesday

"Hey Serena uh. come here for a minute". "Ok Leets". Lita began "Well, I did what you asked and he answered no trouble"! "Well, what did he say"? Serena got to the point automatically. "He said well. Danielle Sanchez that sluty Jr.". Serena just sat there and didn't say anything only stared. WOW, Danielle Sanchez my competition amongst the guys. Now against one more I can't. wait no she's not my competition against Darien not anymore now that I know he likes her! Of coarse she never was to him. "ok I was just wondering and thanx for asking him". Serena finally said in a whisper. Lita looked into Serena's eyes and didn't see what she usually does she saw sadness. "Hey are you okay Sere"? "Hmm. Oh ya never been better"! End of 8th period

Serena was walking in the hallway on the way out trying her best to avoid Darien for the rest of the day. When she runs right in to him. "Oh hi Warren what's up"? I hate this day! Oh K so it's back to that why do you do this to me?! "Nuthin' much here!" Serena began the conversation between them to settle the awkwardness. "So since word travels so fast around here I heard you liked Danielle Sanchez, are you going to ask her to the Valentines dance tonight"? Serena said slightly punching him on the shoulder. Darien looked up into her eyes and thought I wish to ask you but I know you would say no. "Uh. maybe but It might be hard because I'm sure tons of other guys would try and ask her"! I can't believe I'm going along with this! Darien thought.
