Chapter 6
Serena sighed as the bell rang. She definitely didn't feel like dragging herself all the way to her English class today. She didn't know why she let Andrew con her into playing Juliet. She was almost sure that Andrew wouldn't look too bad in a dress…Grudgingly walking to her locker, she saw Darien leaning on her locker with his arm. Great, he just couldn't wait till next period to bother me.
Serena rolled her eyes, "What the hell do you want?"
Darien looked at her and smirked, "Why, Serena! Watch your language! Are you gonna kiss me with that mouth?" Darien watched as Serena's nose wrinkled. He couldn't wait until next period so he thought that maybe he could walk her to class. Darien could just imagine her lying on her back and him kissing her. Darien smiled inwardly.
"I don't think you need to worry about that, Darien," Serena stated, "because there's no way in the hell I would kiss you anyway."
Darien felt a pang in his chest but ignored it as heartburn for something he ate. But then a light bulb came on, "You know, you might want to take that back, after all, you ARE Juliet and I AM Romeo so we're gonna have to kiss over and over again, you know, for rehearsal." Darien saw that Serena comprehended his answer and watched her face turn red. Darien smirked, bingo.
Serena looked at his triumphant face, determined not to let him know that he got to her.
"Whatever." Gee, nice come back, Sere.
Serena started walking, when she noticed that he was closely following behind her back. She felt peeved but realized that they had the same class next. Still, she had no idea why he had to walk so close to her. She felt like turning around and yelling at him to get out of her personal bubble.
Darien could smell what kind of perfume she wore and her shampoo. Then Darien realized something. He was doing what he swore never to do. He was acting like a sick puppy! And over a woman who didn't like him back…Great going, Dare, just let her know that you're drooling all over her. Now she'll want you, he thought to himself. He drew back a little.
Serena felt Darien draw back. She shrugged it off and walked through the doors of her English class.
"Okay, class!" the teacher announced enthusiastically, "You can began as soon as you can find your partners!"
Andrew walked over and gave Serena and Darien scripts for Act 5. "Okay, these are the scripts, so memorize them, write them down on your hand or whatever."
Darien started to laugh, "When did you start being all studious, Drew? This is priceless!"
When Darien finally chose to stop, Andrew glared at him and said, "I need a good grade or I'm gonna flunk this class, dude, and you're not gonna mess it up for me, capice?"
"Yeah, yeah, okay, gotcha," Darien snickered.
They practiced using their scripts and for Serena, it was the longest class she has ever had.
"…okay, Serena?" Andrew questioned.
Serena confusedly said, "Huh?"
Darien chuckled, "Going off into your own little world, Sere?"
"What I said was," Andrew said, sending a glare to Darien, "that we're going to do the scene where Romeo and Juliet kill themselves now."
"Oh, okay," she stupidly said. Serena mentally slapped herself on the head. Now she's going to look like a dumb blonde to Darien. Wait, I don't care about Darien, so why should I care if I'm being dumb?
Serena laid herself down on the floor, closed her eyes and said, "Whenever you guys are ready." For some reason she felt nervous about this whole thing. She suddenly didn't know where to put her hands. She quickly decided to just put them by her side.
"Okay, and…Action!" Andrew shouted.
Serena couldn't even think as she lied on the floor. All she could think of was how the kiss was going to be. What would Darien think after he kissed her? Were her lips too dry?
"…and thus with a kiss, I die," Darien spoke quietly and started to lean down towards her.
Serena held her breath and waited for the kiss. Suddenly, instead of feeling Darien's lips on her own, she heard the sharp ringing of the bell. She blew out her breath and quickly stood up.
Darien couldn't even begin to explain the frustration that he felt. Damn it! Damn it all to hell!
"Well," Andrew started, "I guess that's it for today, I'll see ya tomorrow, Serena. Good work!"
"Thanks, I'll see ya." Serena almost ran out of the room to her next class.
Darien looked longingly at her disappearing back.
"That was really great performance, D," Andrew said excitedly and slapped his back, "have you though of acting professionally?"
Darien snorted, "Don't think so, Drew, theater isn't really my type."
Andrew snickered, "I know what your type is, your type is blonde and blue eyes and she plays Juliet."
"She's hot," Darien stated plainly.
"Yeah, dude, I wouldn't mind going with her to the dance at the end of this month. Mind if I ask her out?"
Darien's eyes flashed and he looked at Andrew murderously.
Andrew put his hands up in the air, "Okay, okay! Jesus Christ! You'd think that I smashed your car or something!"
Yeah, it felt like something like that…
