Chapter 3
Disclaimer stands. Sorry about taking over a century for this. I got caught up with school than by the time I could get back, I sort of lost where I was going with this story.
Serena walked into the arcade in an extremely happy mood. She just aced a test and now was going to celebrate her success in Math. Andrew smiled at Serena when she came over to have her regular milkshake. The blond may look like a ditz on the outside but she wasn't, Serena was afraid of the teasing if she showed them her true self.
Molly, Raye, Amy, Mina, Lita, Andrew, and especially Darien didn't really know her. All they saw was a klutz, ditz, failure who was boy crazy sometimes. When Raye and Serena fought they would think of her as immature when she blows raspberries.
Little did anyone know that Serena was about to show her true self to the world. Serena is a complete opposite to whom she conjures up herself to be. She was scared if her friends saw her for whom she really was, they would either dump her or take advantage of her.
Years back, Serena was betrayed by the ones she trusted the most, she vowed that she wouldn't let anyone know about her true nature again. She thought they really wanted to be her friend but they were really just looking for someone to help them cheat on tests.
It hurt her deeply to know that they were just using her, the pain of ten years a go never really healed. As Serena thought about her past, in came Darien.
"Hey Meatball Head fail any tests lately?!" "For your information I just aced a math test and here's the proof." Darien stared at it in total shock, not only him but Andrew dropped Darien's usual cup of coffee. Even Raye was speechless.
'I wished I had a camera, the picture they made was a worth a fortune. It felt so great to be able to tell someone off for once,' Serena thought.
The silence was becoming uncomfortable, than the phone rang. Everyone looked around for the ringing phone's owner. Serena answered her phone as everyone looked at each other in thought. They all thought, 'since when did Sere/Meatball Head have a cell phone. '
Moments later, Sere dropped the phone and ran as fast as she could out of the Arcade. Everyone was still in shock from the surprises she gave him or her earlier. Darien was the first to recover, and asked the girls if they should follow her.
They all decided that they should follow her, even Andrew decided to close early and follow. Serena wasn't "herself', (as they know her to be) they all were worried about her.
Serena ran on until she reached the park in a secluded area where she could be alone to think. However, she was not alone four girls and two guys were all in hiding watching. Out of nowhere came Molly. "Serena, I'm so sorry I just heard the news. I knew you guys were cl...." Before she could finish Serena ran to her and wrapped her arms around her waist and busted into tears. It seem like Serena was going to be this way for a long time.
Molly just pat her in comfort as she cried on, she liked Molly for that. No amount of words could comfort or makeup for the terrible thing that crushed and broke her happy life into pieces. As she cried, her thoughts were along the line, 'this couldn't be true, it just couldn't. When her best friend lost her life, she thought it was the end of nightmares coming true.'
Now everything has fallen apart for Serena. At the moment she picked up the damn phone, little did she know that it meant all hope was loss. She was a natural optimist, but now everything that was once shinning with color turned a dark black.
~Flashback to before Serena ran out of the arcade~
" Hi Kevin, we need to talk?." "Okay, how about I meet you at the arcade in half an hour?" "fine, bye Kevin." Serena just knew what was coming. Those "we need to talk" conversations never turned out good.
Kevin is Serena's boyfriend. She loved him so much, they've been going out for almost two years now. He was so sweet and nice and so gorgeous it's a sin. Serena thought about all the times she would run to him for support when something bad happened in her life.
They were so happy. Going on walks. Seeing movies, going to carnivals or just plain enjoying each other's company. 'I don't want all this to end,' Serena thought as she ran out of the arcade.
~End of Flashback~
~In the Park~
'15 more minutes until I have to face Kevin,' Serena thought. She was thinking about all of the possible reasons for this coming up conversation. While she was deep in thought all of a sudden loud voices could be heard. Serena turned around because one of the voices sounded so familiar.
Serena was frozen. She couldn't move, her body refused to and it was so hard to breath. The couple in front of her were so into their argument that they fail to notice anyone else.
"Christina, I promise I'll break it off than we can be together for real. I even told her to meet me in about 10 minutes. Please trust me."
"Okay but if I find out you're lying I'm out of here ."
Serena had enough so she left silently, far away from them all. She was now back home in her room. 'How dare he, Kevin could wait at the arcade forever for all I care,' Serena thought bitterly. "How long has this been going on for, months weeks?!" "Men who needs them?! I don't first I got Darien always going out of his way to make my life a living hell. Then my oh so sweet and caring boyfriend cheats on me and thinks he can breakup with me getting two up on me," Serena said in a rage.
"No way is anyone ever going to push me around again. I'm going to be the one to break it off Kevin. I'm not going to let you cheat on me and get the satisfaction of breaking up with me too."
"Hello Kevin? I'm sorry I wasn't able to come to the arcade." "That's okay Serena. How about we meet now. It's really important."
"That's great Kevin, I've got something to tell you too," Serena said in the most innocent voice she could muster.
