Chapter 6
Darien shot up from the couch as he lost his grip until he heard Serena shriek and then reached out to quickly grab her. Serena felt herself falling and waited anxiously for the pain when she would smack the floor but soon felt herself engulfed in warmth. Popping open her eyes, she was astonished to see Darien had caught her when she was beginning to fall but before she could say a word, he quickly put her back on the couch to run to the closet to grab his jacket.
" I saw my parents pull into the driveway. Thanks for letting me stay for a bit but I gotta go. See you in school. Bye." He dashed out the door and let it close with a whoosh.
" Bye, Darien." Serena echoed, not quite understanding what had happened to scare him to make him run out of her house. She shook her head and then started to clean up the mess that littered the living room until she spotted a picture peeking out of a magazine on the coffee table.
" Ohmigod! I really hope he didn't see it, that would have been so embarrassing." Serena groaned out loud while she grabbed the picture to stare at the person it was mainly focused on. The picture was taken of her parents and Sammy but Serena had focused the main target on Darien in the background. It had been taken during the summer when Serena and her family were outside mowing the lawn and tending to the garden. She had been 13 and he had been 15 at that time. For him being only 15, he had quite the body back then since he was just beginning to develop more muscle, sprouting up in height and his hair would just drive her crazy. She loved his hair, even though Serena didn't like him but he had been to cute to pass up on a picture especially when he had went outside to wash his family car without his shirt on. God he was really hot when he was wet, Serena thought to herself when she remembered when his father had gone outside to help and then had turned the hose on Darien with a laugh. She remembered Darien's laughter because it hadn't been mocking or mean but a laugh full of joy. After being doused with water, he had shaken himself to dry off and she still remembered his hair falling in disarray around his forehead. That day him and his dad had came over to her house to see if they needed help with mowing the lawn or things around the house. Darien had been decent to her even nice but the next day he had been so mean to her. At school, Jackson and him had tripped her in the lunchroom in front of everyone while they cracked about her clumsiness, then of course she had picked up her green jello and flung it at the both of them for revenge. She never told anyone of the picture she had taken, not even her friends because she knew she would never be able to live it down. She shook her head at Darien's odd behavior before she went upstairs to get ready for bed and as she lay down she softly whispered her prayer.
" Please give me the strength to face Darien and the willpower to endure this challenge."
The next morning after getting dressed, had her breakfast, she headed for school but the closer she got to school the uneasier she felt. She always hated the feeling of butterflies tickling her stomach and much to her dismay; it felt like butterflies, worms and other disgusting creepy crawlers were having a field day in her stomach. She couldn't understand where it was coming from since it was Friday and the weekend was about to start after school. She moved closer to the school and waved when she spotted her friends by the building in their usual spot. She spotted Darien and his group by the trees but as she drew near, Darien drew Brittany closer to him and covered his mouth over hers with a deep kiss. She felt a sharp pain in her heart but disguised her pain with a narrow glance at him when he glanced at her after his kiss. Serena couldn't understand why he was putting a show of affection for Brittany in front of her but she didn't want to understand him since he was such a prick. Turing her back on him, she smiled at her friends when she joined them by the building.
" Hey Serena, you're actually early for once. That must mean hell just froze over right?" Raye slyly teased her.
" Watch it loser before I throw you in this nice big cold snow bank and watch you freeze to death." Serena tossed back.
" Do you mean like this Serena?" Lita asked but before Serena could even think of what Lita meant, she was being picked up and tossed high in the air to the snow bank she was talking about. She gave a loud shriek of laughter while she tried to grab one of her friends to stop her fall but of course she came up empty. Fully expecting the cold impact, she closed her eyes to wait to meet the cold wet snow until someone caught her in midair. Whoever had caught her must've had good and fast reflexes Serena mused to herself. Then she noticed the silence that seemed to stretch on for miles and decided to look at her savior. A pair of beautiful deep midnight blue eyes met hers.
" Darien, thank-" Serena started until Darien interrupted her.
" No need to thank me, Sabrina. I didn't want you to get hurt before the challenge because if you did that would have been your excuse to claim once I slaughter you. Plus, the fact is you would have hit Trevor in your destructive path and would have hurt him with your bony body. We need to take care our star players so don't go thinking I did it for your sake." Darien rudely told her then bowed to the rest of the people around him, laughing when the kids burst into laughter. Serena felt so humiliated while she grabbed her things without looking at anyone and ran into the school to head into the bathroom with her friends hot on her trail. Bursting into tears when she reached the stall, she covered her face with her hands.
" It's okay Serena. He's a prick, don't waste your tears over him." Mina told her while she gave her a hug.
" Yea Serena, don't waste your tears on a heartless guy like that. He just gets his kicks stepping on people to make him feel better. You're so much better than that." Ami gently said.
" Serena, don't give him the satisfaction of knowing he hurt you. Once he knows it he'll keep doing it. Remember to stand up for yourself." Raye told her with fire.
" Serena, after you feel better, let's go beat him up and make him feel sorry." Lita suggested, hoping Serena would smile. Laughing, Serena nodded through her tears at her friends' advice.
" You're right guys, he's not worth my tears. Lita I would love to beat him up but I'm afraid once I do, the whole student body would chase poor defenseless old me and beat me up." She smiled to show them she was passed her crying stage even though her heart was sore. All of them walked out of the bathroom with confidence showing the school if they messed with one, they messed with them all. Serena walked into the classroom with her head held high, feeling proud knowing that her friends were there to help her stand up again if she fell and took her seat without looking at her classmates. She thought the coast was clear until Jackson yelled from the back of the room.
" Duck everybody! Flying Serena in the room and she's on the loose. Everybody hide under your desk until leaves. It's not safe with her when she's outdoors." The classroom burst into laughter until Serena looked at him with narrowed eyes and snapped right back at him.
" Well if it isn't Darien's lackey Jack the jackass. Hey Jacko, I understand how hard it is for you to get a girl since it seems all of them want Dare the dick over there but really, you must stop trying to get my attention. Realize this shadow boy, I don't like you and neither does any other girl in this school. When you do happen to snag a girl with your bamboo looks, she's probably going with you to get a glimpse of Darien, the bigger asshole than you are. Get a life and get out of mine." Finishing shouting, Serena crossed her arms over her chest while breathing hard. The room was in complete shock after Serena's display of rage. Jackson's veins were beginning to bulge while he looked ready to throttle her, Darien stared amazingly at her and her friends were loudly clapping.
" Serena! Get into the office right this minute! This behavior is ill behavior and I won't tolerate it." Mrs. Hackman yelled. Serena grabbed her books and muttered loudly.
" Christ, are you always a nagging bitch?" That remark got her two weeks worth of detention until Christmas break and an earful from the principal. She was sent into the library until she could control her behavior and then decided to leave when the lunch bell rang. She walked into the noisy lunchroom while she felt the stares of everyone around her until she got to her table where her friends sat. They stared at her for a minute until they burst into laughter.
" Okay where is our sweet Serena?" Mina asked with a giggle.
" I'm right here." Waving her hand in the air, Serena choked out her answer.
" If I say anything, will you bite off my head?" Ami teased her.
" That depends on if you get on my nerves." Smiling widely, Serena told her.
" Ohmigod Serena, I almost peed my pants after you finished. Where do you get all this stuff?" Raye cried out.
" Easy, I get it from you guys."
" That was better than an ass kicking. You go girl!" Lita cheered.
" Shut up before I get more glares on my back than I already have you freaky people. Let's talk about something else." Serena muttered loudly to them.
" Okay I have something to tell you guys. Do you hear what's going the school?" Mina asked them.
" Let me guess, you shouldn't mess with Serena. She's going to rip you apart if she doesn't like you." Lita volunteered her information then received a smack in the head.
" Shut up Lita before I beat you." Serena threatened her with a fist.
" See I told you. She's gonna hurt me." Lita smirked at her.
" No that's not it but you guys won't believe this." Mina eagerly told them.
" What?" Raye snapped impatiently.
" It's unbelievable. I still don't believe it."
" Mina! Tell us already, will you." All of them shouted at her.
" Mr. Mac got busted for smoking a bong and arrested for selling cocaine!"
" No way! Shy Mr. Mac? Are you serious?" They asked in amazement.
" No but I had you guys going didn't I? You should have seen all of your faces. You believed me!" Mina clapped her hands then proceeded congratulate herself while she laughed at all of them.
" You are so awful Mina, now I won't be able to look at Mr. Mac without thinking of a bong and coke. You're mean." Serena groaned out. They laughed and joked the whole lunch period but in the back of Serena's mind, she felt guilty for snapping at Jackson. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch, waving to her friends before heading to class Serena walked passed the rows of locker when she roughly grabbed from behind. She was gently shoved against a locker when she looked up to see which rude idiot grabbed her.
" What the heck are you doing, you idiot? Just don't say anything, I really don't want to hear it." Serena growled at him.
" I don't want to hear you ever say that again Serena. Do you understand me?" Jackson tightly told her.
" Say what? As I can recall, you're the one that started it. I just finished it for you. I was fine until you opened your big mouth. If it's anyone's fault, it's yours." Serena pointed at him.
" Don't say anything Serena. Just don't." Jackson softly told her.
" Why, what are you doing to do to me? Are you going to beat me up? Ohh I hope you feel like a big man, you can beat me up." Serena mocked him.
" Serena." Jackson whispered before covering her mouth with his. Staring at him surprise, she let herself be kissed by one of her tormentors before herself tearing away. Feeling confused, she did the only thing she knew how to do. She ran.
