So this is how it ends, this is how it began: Chapter 4: Letting yourself
slip, part a.
I walked home, sort of in one of those dazes, you know? Well I was on my way when I realized I had missed the bus, my only way home. I knew they next bus would come in 2 hours, and that it was only 8 o'clock, but I was still bummed. So I walked around aimlessly before turning around and going back to the bus stop. There was a red light nearby and a blue-haired girl pulled up in a silver sports car. She had the windows down, and I do believe she was playing Mozart on the CD player. I smiled as she looked my way, and she waved back. She seemed familiar, I know! I saw her at a basketball game; she goes to the school WestPoint High, while I went to Vinemont High. She was rather funny, that's when I remember her name and who she was. "Aren't you Amy? I heard you are the smartest girl in your senior class and that you are the State's Chess Champion." I looked at her, waiting patiently for a reply. "Yep, that's me. You are Serena, right? I am sorry about Rei, I met her a couple times, great girl. Hey, you need a ride?" I smiled back again, not commenting on Rei. I accepted her offer, and on a green light Amy pulled over and unlocked the doors. I clambered into the car, and put on my seat belt. "Thank you very much Amy." She stared straight at the road and through her rear view mirror while pulling out. She didn't reply until we were driving along Forgetan Street. "Oh you are welcome Serena, I am just glad I caught you. I was going to go through a different street, but this side of town is so much nicer. You know, I heard you were having trouble with your math." She turned the corner and worked her way up the street I lived on. "Yes, this is a wonderful neighborhood. And yes, I do need help." I blushed a little, embarrassed by my lack of intelligence in Algebra. "Oh don't be embarrassed Serena. If you want I would love to help you, why not go to the library on Wednesday? I will be there." She pulled into my driveway and let me get out. I walked around to her side and thanked her again before telling her I would love the help. I watched her pull out of the driveway on go on her way.
I started to take out my keys and found them. I walked into the kitchen and my mother was there flipping through the phone book. "Oh Serena! I am glad you are home; can you do me a favor and find a good pizza place to order food from? I accidentally burnt the chicken." I giggled a little and agreed to find a suitable restaurant to order from. As I walked over to the counter, my mother left the room to get the cordless. I randomly opened the book and landed on the's' pages. I quickly found 'Darien Shields', without stopping to think I grabbed the nearest pen and pencil and wrote down his number. I heard footsteps and at once flipped the page and found 'Pizza Palace' and took the phone from my mom as she reentered the room.

I sat on my bed in a pair of dark purple pajamas, tossing the cordless phone from one hand to another. I looked to my left at Luna, my cat, as she slept soundlessly. I then let my gaze fall to my right only to find Darien's number sitting on my pale blue sheets. I had placed the paper there earlier before taking a shower and it was still there. So with somewhat reluctance, I dialed the number. I waited and listened.then a man answered..
~~ Okay! That's enough for now! Lol. Don't forget to review so until next chapter.Chapter 5: Letting yourself slip, part b.
