Dear diary,

I am crazy. You know that? I am definitely crazy!! Okay last week I found out that he had a girlfriend, and I was heartbroken, but at the club I fell for him all over again. Two days after that, after we came back from the movies… I was hurt again because of a phone call. But I… I'm still into him.

You hear/read that? I am still hanging on… I know you must think I'm crazy diary. I think I am too. In fact I said it first.

And you know the funny thing is, with his change, I'm falling hard, even knowing that he has Relena. Putting myself through this torture is gonna kill me someday, and that someday I know will be in two weeks.

We've gotten so close this past week. Going to outings and all, and with his change, it's so hard not to love him.

I'm crazy diary… Crazy, crazy, crazy.

Serena Tsukino

Serena closed her diary and placed it back inside the drawer. Sitting up, she looked over at Heero who was on his bed sleeping, his back facing her. Serena drew her legs up and rested her head on her knees while her arms were wrapped around her legs.

' Why, am I doing this to myself?' Serena thought as she looked at Heero's sleeping form. Serena mentally kicked herself and rolled her eyes as she laid herself back down on her bed. Encasing herself deep in her blanket she turned over to her right so she would be facing Heero. ' Because I'm crazy,' Serena thought as she gave a last look at Heero.

' Crazy as hell,' was her last thought before she fell into a deep sleep. Filled with a certain someone who had unruly brown hair and gorgeous blue eyes who she loves, even though he has broken her heart twice.

" Serena?" Rei exclaimed as she waved her hand in front of her dazed friend's face.

The rest of the gang just stared oddly at Serena when she didn't respond but sigh. Mina looked at where her friend was looking at and her vision ended up on a certain someone's turned head.

Mina elbowed Rei: " She's staring at him again."

Rei, Amie, and Lita gave Mina a questioning glance. Mina smirked and with her thumb, pointed at whom Serena was staring at. The girls followed the line of direction the thumb was providing, and was met with a head of unruly hair.

" Again?" Lita whined. Mina nodded while the other girls just sighed, defeated. Amie turned to face her friend and plugged her nose, while Lita covered the Serena's mouth.

Serena's eyes went wide and they lost there far away look. She shook her head wildly from side to side and with delicate hands, ripped the hands that were cutting off her air supply.

Taking a deep breath she faced Amie and Lita, flushed and breathing hard: " What was that for?"

" You were staring at him again," Amie answered.

" Huh?" Serena made out as she looked at her friends in question. Mina gave her the 'you know what I'm talking about look' and pointed at the teenager across the cafeteria. Serena blushed. " Oh,"

" Yeah, oh!" Lita said, she sat down beside her friend and took a sip of her soda. Rei and the rest of the girls did so too.

" Serena is there something you want to tell us?" Rei asked. Propping her arms up on the table with her elbows. Her head resting in her palms.

Serena tilted her head down and stole a quick peek at Heero again before blushing. ' What to say?' she thought.

" Serena tell us," Mina said.

" Um…" Serena began her eyes still on the table. " I give up."

" Huh?" was her reply from all her friends.

Serena looked up at them, and glanced over at Heero before shifting her gaze over at her friends: " I can't do it. I'm not giving up on him."

Realization came upon the girls and Serena heard "oh's".

" Serena, you do know he's of limits," Mina said to her blonde friend," He has a girlfriend. Are you going to break them up?"

Serena looked down at the table again, event that happened yesterday coming back full force. ' Relena,' she thought sadly. " I know he's off limits. And I'm not going to steel him from his girlfriend… All I'm saying is, I dunno… not move on?"

" You're torturing yourself Serena," Rei said.

" I know, I'm crazy," Serena whispered, " And anyways, I can't steal him away from his girlfriend. His girlfriend is Relena Peacecraft for crying out loud."

" Who?" Amie asked.

" You know the former queen of the world," Serena answered.

" He has high taste in women doesn't he?" Lita said.

Serena got more depressed when she heard her friends answer. Lita saw the reaction and placed an arm around her friend's shoulders.

" Cheer up Serena. I mean if he goes for women who are rich and famous, he is not worth while to go after."

" Yeah, I mean like fame and fortune don't last forever. So his love won't last forever!" Mina added.

Serena looked up and saw Rei and Amie nod their heads in agreement. " He's not with her because of her fame and fortune. He looks deeper than that. He told me that himself."

" Then if he looks for inner beauty, he'll come around." Rei reassured her.

" Relena has inner beauty too, ya know. And to top it off she's got the looks too!" Serena piped in, " And with her riches and fame, she's practically the perfect girl!"

" Why are you being so pessimistic?" Amie asked. " You know you have both inner and outer beauty. If you were the one who met Heero first and he really does doesn't care about fame and riches, he would have chosen you,"

Serena heard " yeah's" coming from the other girls. Hearing what they have said Serena's hopes were now up high. " Guys?" Serena asked, tears building up. The girls looked at her, tears in their eyes too. " Give me a hug?"

The girls complied and hugged their friend. Serena shed the tears building in her eyes: " You are the best of friends a girl can ever ask for."

Mina, Rei, Lita and Amie started crying too when Serena started crying.

" You are too," Mina said through her tears, tightening her hold around Serena.

" You're a great friend too Serena," Amie said as she cried.

" Serena you're the best friend a girl would want," Lita said as she rested her cheek on Serena's head and hugged her.

" Meatball head," Rei said as she hugged her best friend. Tears too streaming down her cheeks.

Duo looked at his friend, ever since the club he had seen something change in him: The change being his attitude towards his roommate. He had been dying to know what was up with Heero. The memory of Heero on the dance floor with Serena still haunting him. Seeing that it was practically the closest he had seen the two together and that that was the start of the change.

First he thought nothing of it because it was a club. It sets you in the mood to dance. But it has gone on for a week now. He wanted to know what happened, or what is happening with Heero.

" So how is Relena?" Quatre asked. Duo hearing the name then remembered about the relationship Heero is currently in with Relena. ' Oh yeah, Relena.' Duo thought, nodding his head.

" She's fine," Heero answered eating his sandwich.

" That's all?" Duo asked.

Heero just gave him a questioning look.

" What else is there to say Maxwell?" Wufei asked.

Duo looked at all of them. He looked up at the ceiling and shrugged. " I dunno, I was thinking that you would have much more to say than that."

" Well that was the only answer we needed," Wufei answered, snorting at the braided teenager's stupidity.

" Well if somebody asked me how my Amie's doing, I would have said ' she's doing fine, she had a great time in gym class, and was offered a position in the swimming team.'" Duo answered.

" What are you getting at Duo?" Quatre asked. Duo looked up at his blonde friend and noticed some of the questioning stares that were directed at him from the guys.

" Never-" Duo trailed off when he heard crying. Looking over behind him he saw Amie and the gang all huddled together crying. Trowa and the others too heard the noise and looked at where Duo was looking and saw their girlfriend and the gang crying.

" Why are they crying?" Duo asked.

" Let's go and find out," Trowa said as he stood up from his seat and walked towards the table of where the girls were. The rest of them following his lead.

" Onna's," Wufei muttered as he walked over to the girls table, where they were crying up an ocean.

*~*

" Why are you all crying?" came a male voice.

All the girls looked to the one who broke their moment and they all blushed. Their respective boyfriends were there standing in front of them, with worried and questioning eyes.

Rei wiped away her tears, as she tried to think of an answer of the question. She stopped and tilted her head to the side: " Actually I don't know why we cried."

" Do you?" Rei asked looking at Mina.

" I dunno," Mina said shrugging her shoulders.

" You guys started crying first," Lita answered, wiping her cheeks dry.

" Why did we cry?" Amie asked. All the girls looked at Serena who was smiling. Giggles erupted from Serena's parted lips. Soon it turned into a full-blown laugh, which sent the other girls laughing, like a chain reaction.

The rest of the girls laughed along with Serena. Duo and the guys just looked at their girlfriend and Serena, weirder out, and threw each other questioning glances.

" I don't know man," Duo answered when the guys looked at him for answers," women are known to do weird things,"

*~*

Serena looked up, and her laughter died down. Deep blue eyes stared hard into hers and she couldn't do anything but blush. She looked away, trying to hide her blush, from questioning eyes.

' Why is he staring?' she thought as she wiped her tears away, and her cheeks dry.

" So why were you guys crying?" Quatre asked as he moved towards Mina.

Mina gave him a reassuring look. Telling him not to worry: " I guess it was just needed for the little moment we had there,"

The boyfriends quirked their eyebrows at their respective girlfriends. Asking them the same question mentally.

" Yeah," the girls answered, nodding their heads.

Serena turned around and looked at the guys, minus Heero. She knew he was still staring at her, and she knew she was still blushing but her neck was hurting and she couldn't keep her head turned that long.

" You women, I will never understand you," Wufei said.

The rest of the guys nodded. Minus a certain someone who was leaning against the column.

The girls gave a giggle at Wufei's response. They looked at Serena and noticed her blushing, and shyly steel a peak and Heero. Rei, Lita, Amie and Mina all shared a look and turned to their friend, who was currently oblivious to everything around her except Heero. They gave her a small smile, all of them hoping that their friend could either get what she wanted or move on.

*~*

Duo noticed the exchange the girls had before smiling a tiny smile. He noticed the smile was directed towards Serena who was currently blushing, posture shy. Seeing Serena look up and then down in the flash he looked towards what Serena looked at that made her blush even more.

Heero was whom he saw, leaning against the column, eyes fixated on his roommate. Duo looked over at the others. ' Are they seeing what I'm seeing?' Duo thought. He stared at the guys who were currently focusing on their girls. He turned back to Heero. ' Am I seeing what I'm seeing even?' Duo thought as he moved over to sit beside his girlfriend.
