Memories of the Past
Chapter Three

"Serenity, I love you." I heard someone whisper in my ear. I felt chills go down my spine. The person behind me was still holding me tight, with his chin resting on my shoulder. Who was Serenity? This guy thought I was someone else! Yo, whoever he is, he better get his hands off me! I'm not Serenity! Suddenly I relaized that I felt so safe and secure in his arms. 'What, are you stupid? This guy loves someone else! You can't be thinking like that.it'll only get you hurt in the end!'

Serena struggled a bit to get free of the person's hold on her. She turned around to see none other than Darien. She felt her heart skip a beat faster. Why was she feeling this way towards Darien? He's the guy who dedicated his life on making hers miserable. She felt sick to her stomach. 'Ok, I officially lost it'

Darien too, realized the girl standing in front of him. Embarrassment overtook him. He felt his anger towards Serena, and most of all, himself. 'Why does she have to look so much like Serenity? Damn her! I wish she would disappear! I just made a complete fool of myself in confessing my love to her! I feel even more stupid about thinking Serenity would be back!' Darien felt like crying. Ever since he met Serena this morning, his mind had been going crazy. His walk was supposed to help him, not complicate his miserable life even more!

Serena saw Darien's eyes turn emotionless, almost to an endless black, staring back at her. She could feel his anger. 'Oh my god, I never knew he could be this scary.' Serena backed a few steps away from Darien; afraid he'd do something to hurt her.

"Darien, are.are you ok?" Serena struggled to get the words out, suddenly feeling really nervous around him. Just then, Darien moved closer and grabbed her wrist. Serena hasn't expected this, therefore too late to move away. She stared at Darien with fear in her eyes.

"Why?" Darien asked coolly.

"Why what?" Serena questioned carefully not to say anything wrong. She struggled to get out of Darien's grip on her wrist. It was starting to hurt her.

"Why are you here, and why do you have to look so much like her damn it!?" Darien screamed at her. Serena was now close to tears.

"I don't know what you're talking about! Let go of me Darien! You're hurting me!? Serena screamed, trying to get Darien to loosen up his grip on her. Tears started flowing down her cheeks. Serena couldn't stand this any longer she broke down crying. Darien realized what he'd done; loosen his grip on Serena's wrist a bit and drew her to him. He hugged her, trying to calm her down. He regretted what he has done, how could he have taken his anger out on Serena?

"I'm sorry Serena." Darien murmured softly to Serena. She calmed down a bit, but still a little shaky from what happened. They stayed like that for a few more minutes before Serena's tears completely subsided. She pulled away from Darien, and turned around so she's not facing him. Serena whipped her tears from her face, her eyes red and swollen from all that crying. "I'm sorry Serena." Darien said again, more loudly this time. Serena didn't say anything, so Darien slowly turned her around to face him. "I'm really sorry Serena, I." Darien trailed off. He didn't know how to explain to her. If he explained things to her, he would reveal too much about himself.

"Go away." Serena whispered. "Go away! Get away from me!" Serena screamed and ran away, leaving Darien staring after her. 'What have I done?'

Serena ran as fast as her legs could carry her. She had never gotten this scared before. She felt like her head was spinning. New tears started to form in her eyes, and came down her cheeks. 'I.I don't know what happened. First he was hugging me from behind and then, the next minute, his was screaming at me. What did he mean when he said 'why do I have to look so much like her?' I don't get it I look like who? Why is it so important anyways?' She wanted to be as far away from Darien as possible. Serena wasn't looking at where she was going and accidentally ran into someone, she lost her balance and was about to fall onto the hard floor, but the person grabbed her arm and prevented her from falling. She looked up to see Seiya standing in front of her, his chocolate brown eyes filled with concern.

"Serena.are you ok? Why are you crying? What happened?" Seiya asked his voice filled with concern. Serena was glad he was here.

"I'm ok, thank god you're here! I was so scared Seiya!" Serena cried into his shirt.

"Serena, what happened?" Seiya asked again. Serena looked up, drying her tears she didn't want to tell anyone about what happened with her and Darien.

"Nothing." Serena lied. Seiya saw the lying look in her eyes, so he didn't want to push her into saying anything she didn't want to.

Seiya chucked a little, "Serena, you're not a very good liar, did you know that? But that's all right; I won't force you into saying anything if you don't want to." He saw the relief look on her face and smiled.

"Thank you Seiya!" Serena said, feeling a whole lot better now. She gave him a weak smile. "Well, it's getting late, and if I don't get home now, I'll be late for dinner! Mom made my favorite today! Bye Seiya!" Serena said, started running home.

"Bye Serena! See you tomorrow!" Seiya called out to her. Serena waved and he waved back to her.

" YOU DID WHAT?!" Andrew yelled, not believing what Darien just told him.

" Oh yea.why don't you scream louder and let the whole world hear?" Darien said, sarcastically. Andrew blushed a little.

"I'm sorry man.it's just.I can't believe you thought that.and you told." Andrew tried to get the words out, still in shock.

"I told you.She just looks so much like her! They're like twins or something! So I just.I thought it was her." Darien explained. Him and Andrew were best friends. They've been best buddies ever since the death of Serenity. So they basically tell each other everything. "I know it's stupid!"

"And you felt angry afterwards, and took out your anger on Serena." Andrew sighed. "I think you really scared her.that was why she.-" Andrew, realizing what he just said, covered his mouth. He didn't know if he should tell Darien.

"What? What are you talking about? Finish your sentence 'Drew! You're hiding something." Darien said.

"Well.I kind of saw Serena and that Seiya guy.-" But before Andrew could even finish his sentence, Darien cut him off.

"Serena was kissing Seiya?!" Darien screamed, smoke coming out from both ears. Andrew gave Darien a surprised look. 'So.Darien does have some feelings for her.hope she'll be the girl to heal him.' Andrew burst out laughing. "What are you laughing at?" Darien glared at him.

"Why do you care if they're kissing or not?" Andrew asked.

"WHAT?! I don't care! Why should I care? I mean, it's not like I actually like her or anything! She just looks kind of like Serenity! I could never like someone like Serena! -" Darien started his rant. Andrew smirked at Darien's reaction. 'Man.he's always like that when he's in denial.'

"Ok ok! Whatever, but I'm sure Serenity would want you to be happy! Oh.and by the way.you never let me finish my sentence.they didn't kiss.he was trying to calm her down. Anyways, I'm off to class!" Andrew walked away, leaving a very confused Darien behind.

Darien smirked. Andrew never goes to class early, so what's up with him? 'Feh! I'll bet it's because of Mina.it's so obvious that he likes her! This is going to be good.and I have to do something to fix up on what happened yesterday.

~*~*~*~*~

"He did what?!" Lita exclaimed.

"Chill Lita! He just asked me out ok?! It's not like we're getting married or something!" Mina explained.

"Maybe you guys will get married! You'll never know!" Serena said teasingly. "Mina and Andrew, sitting in a tree..K I S S I N G!! First." Before she could finish off, Rei cut in. (AN: hehez.that was gay! But it's fun! ^. ^)

"Serena! Do me a favor would you? SHUT UP!" Rei said, "You're so immature!"

"Am not!"

"Stop arguing you two! That's great Mina! You and him finally got together! It's so obvious that you two are * crazy * about each other!" Amy said, surprising the group. Amy looked at each of their shocked faces, and blushed. "What?! It's normal to care for a friend!"

"Wow.I never knew you were interested in this.or cared." Mina said blankly. Mina walked over to Amy and gave her a hug. " I'm so glad to know that you care about me!"

"So where were you yesterday Meatball brains?!" Rei asked.

"WHAT? NOT YOU TOO! FIRST DARIEN CALLS ME THAT, NOW YOU?" Serena screamed.

"Ok! Calm down Serena. breath in.breath out.." Serena too deep breathes and calmed down. "Besides, I think that nickname sounds cute on you! It matched you hairstyle!" Rei laughed out loud. Soon, the rest of the group joined her, including Serena.

"Grrr.I'll get you for this Rei!" Serena said, trying to act angry.

"Oh quit your act! Everyone knows you suck at it!" Rei teased, their argument starts, everyone sweatdroped. 'I hope I won't see Darien today.'
