A new day started and with it comes new surprises. Serena opened her eyes to be greeted by blinding rays of sunshine emitted from outside. She looked around the room and noticed that the blinds were drawn back. Everyone had left except herself. Then she felt it, a heavy weight on her chest. She looked down to see a head full of black hair.
"DARIEN SHIELDS WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU HENTAI!" Everyone heard Serena yell from the living room. They were all currently situated in the dining room enjoying their breakfast when they heard her scream.
"Well…looks like Serena woke up." Andrew said turning back to his food.
"But Serena! It's nothing like that! I didn't even know I was sleeping next to you."
"Darien, if you value your life I suggest you not talk to me right now!" Serena marched into the dining room while Darien followed close behind.
Oh yeah today was definitely going to be quite a day!
"Hey Sere, I saved you some breakfast it's in the kitchen." Lita pointed to the kitchen.
"Thanks Lita." She walked into the kitchen served herself a plate of food. Breakfast was quite interesting. Her new friends never ran out of things to talk about. And Lita seems to think every guy in the school looks like her ex boyfriend!
"So are you all going to the school dance?" Rei asked everyone with an amused expression on her face.
"I can't go I have something to do for my father that night." Seiya said a little disappointed.
"Serena are you going to the school dance on Friday?" Mina asked.
"There's a school dance on Friday? I didn't' know of it until now."
"Oh well you have to go!"
"Uh…okay."
"Good now who are you going to go with?"
The week passed by quickly as everyone anticipated the school dance that was coming up. After all they really had nothing else to look forward too it's not like they were old enough to go to clubs or anything.
~*~*~*~*~*~Flash forward night of the school dance…
Mina, Serena, Lita, Rei, and Amy all decided that they would go to the school dance as a group. After all you can always hook up with someone at the dance right?
Serena stood in front of the mirror she was currently wearing a pink and white dress that stopped a little below her knees. The straps were extremely thin and the dress fit her curves nicely. She applied a little lip-gloss and eyeliner and curled her hair into wavy tendrils. She was a sight to behold. Serena grabbed her purse and made her way down the stairs.
"Mom…I'm leaving now."
"Okay honey, have a good time." Her mom called out before Serena closed the door. Outside Mina's car pulled up and she walked up to it. Mina had told her that they should go to the dance together in her car and so she agreed.
The school gym was redecorated and looked extremely different from what they were all used to seeing everyday. Serena and Mina walked in looking here and there trying to spot their friends. Serena could see that all the girls were quite busy. Lita was dancing with Nephlite, she could see that, the little truth or dare game worked just as good as cupids arrow. Jadeite seemed to be flirting with Rei, and Kunzite and Andrew kept Ami and Mina entertained. She walked over to the refreshment table and grabbed a cup of fruit punch.
She took a sip of her drink when Darien approached her.
"I can see you're having fun." He said cynically. He noticed what she was wearing and drooled mentally. 'She looks gorgeous.' He thought to himself.
"Oh yeah loads of fun." She rolled her eyes and turned to step away from him. When she felt a hand hold back her wrist. Serena turned around and her cerulean blue eyes met his fine enticing orbs. Pools of emotions that drove her wild just looking at them. She glanced at something else trying to release her mind of his intense stare. "What do you want Darien?"
"I…I want to talk to you…why do you act so cold around me?"
Serena was taken aback by this question. Why was it that she acted so cold around him? She could remember when they were young they used to fight a lot. But when you're ten years old isn't that considered just childs play? She knew the real reason why. Deep in her mind she searched for the answer when she already knew. Ten years ago he acted as if she was some annoying pestering child. She had a slight crush on him but all he could do was push her away. It hurt her quite a bit to think about it. So now instead of telling him how she feels she pushes him away. Even though she knew better, it was just a small crush, but seeing him act that way to her really hurt her feelings.
"You want to know Darien?"
"Yes."
"Well…"
"Excuse me miss would you like to dance?" Serena turned around to see a handsome young guy standing behind her.
"Uh…sure." She took his hand and walked away from Darien. Some how some part of her wanted to tell him…maybe he would understand. But then again she was glad that the situation was over…saved by the handsome guy!
Darien stood there not really knowing how to feel. Somehow seeing Serena dance with that guy struck a nerve in him. He felt a tinge of jealousy but dismissed the thought. He almost go to know why he bothered Serena so much if it weren't for that guy interrupting them. For some reason he didn't' know why he felt a tiny attraction towards Serena. It wasn't anything much but it brought out the possessive side in him. She sure grew up over the years. When they were younger she was such a little brat never leaving him alone. Sure he said some mean things to her but he never really meant it. He always thought of her as a little sister. But now…his viewpoint changed slightly.
"I'm Diamond may I know what your name is?" The guy Serena was dancing with asked her.
"My name is Serena"
"Ah Serena what a lovely name."
Serena smiled and continued dancing. She really didn't pay much attention to Diamond but more to the soothing music. When suddenly someone interrupted them.
"I'm sorry but may I interrupt this dance?" Darien asked.
Diamond nodded, thought a little annoyed he decided to let them talk do whatever they wanted after all he had many other chances to get her didn't he?
Darien placed his hands on Serena's waist and started dancing with her. "Serena what were you about to say before?"
"I…you really want to know why I hate you so much don't you?" She asked him.
"Yes."
Serena could see the determination written all over his face. He wasn't going to stop until he got his answer.
"Fine I'll tell you…it's because well…you were such a jerk back then…and…"
"Serena I was just playing around…you know that I didn't really mean to be mean to you! Sure sometimes you could be a real brat but I didn't mean to hurt you."
"Darien you don't understand. I…I…I had a slight crush on you." Serena's face was flushed with embarrassment.
"You…did?"
Serena's hands dropped from Darien's neck. She closed her eyes and turned away. "I…I'm going to go outside for some fresh air now." She walked outside of the gym to be greeted by the cool night air.
The moon shone brightly in the sky accompanied by the stars. Serena hugged herself tightly to keep herself warm. She continued walking until she came up to a bench. She sat down and stared at the sky. Faint music could be heard booming from the gym doors.
'Why did I tell him that? Stupid, stupid, stupid! He was never supposed to know!' She thought to herself.
Light footsteps could be heard approaching her. She paid no attention to the person and instead continued to look at the sky. She felt a gust of wind blowing her blonde locks and couldn't help but feel calm.
The person sat down next to Serena and put a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to face Darien.
"Darien what do you want?" Serena asked this time not in a hostile manner, but more in one of despair.
"I…I just wanted to apologize."
"For what? Theirs nothing to apologize about…it was ten years ago and come to think of it I was kind of a little brat…I can't really blame you for the things that happened. And you know what I don't."
"So does that mean you don't hate me?"
"Yes, I don't hate you…I just dislike you."
"…Well at least that's a start."
"You can say that." Serena gave him a heartwarming smile. Why you ask? Even she didn't know why.
"So can we at least start over again and be friends?" He asked her sincerely.
"Hmm…let me get back to you on that…but Darien…I must warn you if you want my friendship…you have to prove to me that you're friend worthy material." With that Serena stood up and walked back into the gym. But she didn't get too far when Darien replied.
"Well…I hope you know I can probably even make you fall in love with me if I wanted too! And you said so yourself you used to have a crush on me am I not correct?" Darien gave her a smug grin.
"Used to is the correct term Darien…and I grew up…it's going to be a lot harder then you think!"
"We'll see about that."
"Yes we will won't we Darien...I just hope you know as I grew up my taste in guys changed as well…and for the better too"
"Ouch…didn't see that one coming."
Serena merely smiled and walked away.
And with those words Darien knew it was going to be a long school year. But he couldn't off on a challenge. Wasn't that what she proposed? One way or another Darien had to get her friendship. After all every girl in the school was head over heels with him, getting a stubborn new girl to be his friend shouldn't be that difficult! He could probably even make her fall in love with him! Or could he?
Serena graced the dance once again with her presence. She couldn't help but think that Darien was such an egotistic jerk. He honestly thought that if he wanted to then she would fall for him? That guy's got another thing coming. Serena is not like every other girl out there, she has morals and not to mention standards. Egotistic jerks don't make the cut! But she'd be quite amused to watch him try.
