'One, two, three…show time!" I thought to myself as I slowly approached the
desk of my homeroom teacher, Mrs. Ginard. She was a tall and skinny woman
with a long face. She had brown chestnut colored hair and their was not an
ounce of fat in her body. I guess that we all know she didn't eat her
vegetables as a child. Today is Friday and right now it is the first period
class with Mrs. Ginard, English. The morning bell had just wrung and right
now she was taking attendance. She looked up at me curiously as I reached
her desk. I looked pale.
"Hi Miss Ginard," I greeted her nervously, forgetting the fact that she was married, "I won't be able to come to school next week. I kinda have this thing that I have to do. It's a funeral. I have to attend it because it's my uncle that died in America." It's not that I was scared of lying, after all I have done a lot worse, it's just the fact that now she will look at me with pity or even make the school councilor talk to me. I hated the fucked up school councilor, Ms. Vantine. She was always so nosy and had no self-esteem herself. I am still surprised on how she became a councilor, let alone even a health teacher. Unfortunately, she teaches my class health and would always spas for no reason at all. Probably having some trouble with her sex life, which is no surprise. I mean, how can anyone find her attractive, let alone even like her at all?
"Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Usagi!" gasped Mrs. Ginard, like I predicted, " Are you OK?" This is why I hate it when people feel sorry for me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. My uncle and me weren't that close" I said, trying not to sound annoyed.
"But still, that must be horrible for you! Do you need anything darling? Maybe talk to Ms. Vantine?" she asked me, desperate to help.
"No!" I quickly replied, then I realized that this answer was too bold so I began to elaborate. "I'm fine, really. All I need is to take the next week off and go to America to attend his funeral. That would be all."
"Well then, you take all the time that you need darling. I'm sure that we can catch you up very quickly on all your missing classes. After all, you are a very bright student" boasted Mrs. Ginard. I practically wanted to tell her to shut up right there and then.
"Well, thank you Mrs. Ginard. I appreciate this a lot!" I said while plastering a very convincing fake smile on my face. My cheeks would be very sore later.
"Just glad that I could help" she replied with an annoying tone as I left her to sit in my desk at the front of the class. I hated my spot, but all the back seats were taken by the popular kids. Sometimes I really wish that we had assigned seats. But I guess this wasn't all that bad considering Ami, and now Lita, sat right beside me on either side. They looked at me with sympathy too. I guessed that I might as well just tell them before I told Mrs. Ginard because by the end of this day, everyone is going to hear about it anyway, not that they would care much and would only look at me with a slight sympathy while they teased me. I was getting very frustrated at this!
"So did you tell her?" asked Ami in a concerned voice.
"Yes" I replied in a flat tone.
"What did she say?" asked Lita, just as concerned as Ami.
"She said that I could take as much time as I needed. She will get me back on track when I come back" I said with annoyance. I think that they heard the edge of annoyance in my tone because they started concluding the conversation right away.
"Well then, I'm sure that you won't miss too much. I'll even help you to get back on your studying" volunteered Ami. Lita simply smiled and nodded.
"Alright" I sighed as I leaned back on my chair and began to drift off, indicating that this conversation was over. Ami and Lita shared a look of concern before they too turned around to face the front of the class and get ready for English. The first class of the day had just now officially started. This was going to be a long day.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
Darien felt sympathy for Usagi overwhelm him as he heard of her latest news. The first thing that went through his mind was how to cheer her up. But then he remembered the fact that she hated him and seeing him would just make her even more depressed. Darien sighed as he sat down at a picnic table with all his buddies and began to eat his fries. He always loved fries, but somehow today, they could not even satisfy him after he heard about Usagi's uncle. He really wanted to comfort her, but he doubted that she would want him to.
"Beryl at 9 o'clock!" came Andrew's voice through his head. All the other guys around him began to moan too. Darien looked up and indeed he saw Beryl and her little lackeys coming over to his table. 'Oh great! Just what I need!' thought Darien with an exaggerated annoyance. It seems like Beryl did not take their break up so well, or as all his friends referred to it as "her getting dumped." Ever since their break up, which was two weeks ago, she has been desperate to get back to him. She was even jealous when another girl simply looked at Darien. In a way, Darien appreciated her jealousy since it kept practically every other girl in school at bay. No girl dared to flirt with him or even talk to him in a warm tone because there will be hell to pay afterwards with Beryl making their social life in school a living hell. Darien did not mind if no girl talked to him, he was only concerned about one girl, Usagi Tsukino. Although she was a geek and an outcast, Darien was desperate to have a nice conversation with her. But so far he has not succeeded. He has tried to talk to her three times this week, and each time she just shrugged him off with her cold tone. Darien was getting very desperate.
"Hi Darien," greeted Beryl with her sleazy voice, "miss me?" She batted her eyelashes and smiled. Her uniform shirt was pulled as low as it can possibly go, revealing a little part of her cleavage. She came up to sit beside Darien, pushing Andrew out of the way, and pressed her breasted against his shoulder as she slowly leaned in on him to whisper something in his ear.
"Wanna go to your car for something sweet?" she whispered maliciously in her sluty voice.
"No!" was Darien's flat response. He did not want Beryl anywhere near his shinny expensive sports car ever again, let alone her in it. Beryl looked at him surprised, like a whore that had just been rejected. She was sure that this trick would lure Darien back to her, like it did every single other guy. She turned beat read and abruptly stood up in front of Darien.
"Why?" she demanded with a shriek.
"Look Beryl, it's over between us! Do you understand? IT-IS-OVER! Now get that through your thick head and leave me alone! Oh, and stop harassing every single girl that talks to me!" yelled Darien with annoyance. Beryl turned even redder, if possible, and began to quickly walk away, her lackeys, of course, following her.
"Darien, by the time that I'm done with you, you'll wish that you've never met me! Trust me Darien, you'll regret ever breaking up with me!" Beryl yelled over her shoulder with all her might, her face still red.
'It's just like her to cause a seen like this' thought Darien as he sighed. He had no doubt that everybody in school had seen this. But he was not embarrassed. He never got embarrassed this easily.
"Wow! You really told her off!" cried out Andrew with sheer happiness at the bitch finally getting what she deserves, which is total humiliation.
"Yeah, way to go Darien!" yelled all his other buddies, who hated Beryl just as much. Then they all began to laugh and clap, each slapping Darien on the back while congratulating him. Darien sighed as he looked under the big oak tree where Usagi and her friends were sitting. He had promised himself that he would get on her good side, and once he promised himself something, he would always achieve it.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*
I sat in the front passenger seat of my van as I quickly reviewed the plan in my head once again. If we wanted to come out of this mission successfully, that means with the chip out of the pentagon in one peace without getting caught, then we would have to go over this plan many times. This dreadful school day was finally over and I could not be happier about it. Although Ami and Lita had stopped talking about my fake uncle's death, a lot of others were still coming up to me and asking me if I was OK. It was mainly the teachers, but the student body also felt sorry for me because they stopped taunting me today that much. I think that I only heard one or two remarks about me today. I think that they were all from Beryl since she could not feel sympathy for anyone at all. For once I was glad of Beryl's nastiness because she was the only one in school who did not regard me with pity. It's surprising how the negative qualities of a person may sometime prove positive.
"Hey boss, sorry to bother you again, but lieutenant Rei called today to tell you that your flight should be arriving around 7PM" came Tony's voice though my head.
"Excellent" I replied in my cold voice as Serena La Morte. I grinned. Everything was going well so far. There has been no delay in my flight concerning where my private jet could land. It has all been arranged by Rei. She probably got someone in my inner circle, meaning all the top members in the La Morte gang that I can trust, to pull some strings with the Tokyo authority. This was going perfect!
"This is excellent. Tonight you will drive me to the meeting place at 7:30 and I will board my jet at exactly 8. After I am gone, I want you and Ronda to stay low and take into special precaution that anyone I or you two know doesn't see you. After all, you are suppose to be in America attending a funeral." I remarked with a sarcastic tone.
"Don't worry boss, me and Ronda have got everything under control here. We will be at home waiting for the latest updated on your mission. We know that you can do it!" replied Tony. I know that he and Ronda will follow the orders that I left them to the very last detail. I was glad that he and Ronda, my pretend parents, believed in me so much. Their faith in me gave me more confidence in myself. I would have to make sure later to tell somebody in headquarters to update them on the latest news.
The rest of the car trip was remarkably quite. I sat there staring out the window as I reflected the plan in my head for the last time today. Tonight was a very important night. Tonight is when step one of our plan would begin. Tonight is when I would finally be on my way to Washington DC, where our big mission is going to take place. Everything has been set up by Mina there and they were simply waiting for me to arrive to start the mission. Rei had probably arrived too. I can't wait until I arrive. A feeling of both nervousness and excitement had washed over me. Tonight is finally when we would begin our mission that has been planned out for so long.
"Hi Miss Ginard," I greeted her nervously, forgetting the fact that she was married, "I won't be able to come to school next week. I kinda have this thing that I have to do. It's a funeral.
