Memories of the Past
Chapter Four
'…I hope I won't see Darien today…' Serena thought. But she hadn't realized that since Mina and Andrew were together now, it meant that the two 'groups' would be hanging out more. As the day passed, Serena's day hadn't gotten any brighter, while she tried hard to avoid Darien. But no matter how hard she tried avoiding him, she would always see him walking down the same hallway as her.
Darien's day wasn't that good either. He kept trying to think of an explanation but just couldn't find any. That doesn't mean he's not apologizing to her, but she would definitely want an explanation. So what can he tell her? 'Oh sorry, it was just a joke' just won't cut it. Darien smirked to himself.
'Yeah right…like hell she's going to take that from you.' Darien's conscious started.
Darien frowned. 'Not again…this is a really bad time to have an argument with myself…'
'Yes again…just tell her the truth u dimwit!' the annoying voice encouraged.
'Forget it! Why should I apologize? It was her fault! She was the one taking away MY special spot!' Darien thought angrily. 'You know what? I'm not going to apologize…I did already, and I'm not saying it again!'
'Stop being so stubborn! You were the one that lost control of your own emotion!'
'Shut up! Go away!' Darien scowled at the voice. Thankfully, there wasn't any reply.
"Yo Darien! You there?" Andrew waved his hand in front of Darien's face, but he didn't respond. "DARIEN! WAKE UP!"
"What? Geez…don't have to yell so frigging loud!" Darien complained with annoyance. He looked over at the clock and picked up his stuff. 'No wonder 'Drew was yelling…class ended like, 10 minutes ago.'
"Come on! Let's go! We're eating with the girls today." Andrew said. 'hehez..and I get to spend time with my lovely Mina!' he thought to himself happily, a goofy smile made it's way to Andrew's lips.
Darien's head suddenly shot up and yelled. "WHAT?!" He received a look from Andrew for that outburst. 'Oh damn! That means, SHE is going to be there.'
"Dar…if you're thinking of backing out on this lunch, don't even think about it, otherwise, I'll drag you there myself!" After hearing Andrew say that, his face dropped. 'Some best friend YOU are' Darien thought.
^.^ (Scene changed to Serena and her friends)
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! YOU GUYS CAN'T DO THIS TO ME!!!!" Serena wailed. Suddenly realizing what she said, she clasped her hands over her mouth. Her friends looked at her, surprised. People around them also gave Serena strange looks. Serena laughed nervously. "Um…I mean that's great!"
"What just happened there?" Rei asked, still shocked. Serena looked around and saw blank looks from her friends.
"Oops…sorry…" Serena mumbled, a slight blush on her cheeks. 'Oh no! HE is going to be there! Great! After all the hard work I've done just to avoid him, and now him and the guys are eating with us! And I can't back out…or Rei will get suspicious!'
"Are you ok Serena?" Amy asked her. "Are you feeling sick?"
Serena smiled weakly at Amy's concern. "No, I'm ok. Thanks Amy." Serena replied.
"Well, what are we waiting for ladies? Let's go! I have a certain boyfriend I want to see!" Mina said, and everyone sweatdroped.
"Yeah yeah Mina! We know you're very 'desperate' to see Andrew." Lita teased, making the word 'desperate' extra loud. Inside, she secretly wanted to see Ken. Lita blushed at the thought of Ken.
Rei burst out laughing when she saw the blush on Lita's face. "AWWW..isn't that sweet! Lita is thinking about 'Ken' her future husband AGAIN!" Rei teased, and Lita's face turned 7 shades of red.
"He is NOT my future HUSBAND!" Lita defended herself while everyone laughed. "Let's just go! I'll bet CHAD is already WAITING for 'princess' Rei in the caf!" Lita commented before running away from Rei, who is chasing after her.
'And they calls me immature!' Serena rolled her eyes. Serena, Mina, Amy followed the two of them to the cafeteria. Mina's face lit up when she saw Andrew sitting at the table with the guys. She quickly ran to his side and gave him a hug.
"AWWWWW…that's so sweet!" The girls said, while the guys just laughed their heads off. Andrew gave them a glare to shut them up.
"Who wants some of my famous rice balls?!" Lita asked.
Serena's head suddenly snapped towards Lita. "MEE!!!!" she exclaimed happily, mouth started watering at the thought of Lita's rice balls.
"I want to try one too!" Ken said making Lita blushed a little. Serena saw this, started giggling. "I heard they're really good!"
"Lita's rice balls are the BEST!" Rei joined in, smacking Chad on the head. "Get your hands off me you pervert!" Rei scowled.
"Aw..Come on Rei baby! You know you can't resist me!" Chad joked, getting an other bump on the head.
"Dream on you big pervert, and don't let those wondering hands near me or else!" Rei warned, anger on her face. Everyone laughed at Chad. 'Poor guy, he's obviously head over heels for Rei, just showed it in a wrong way…someone needs to teach him on how to win a girl's heart.' Serena thought to herself. 'But then again, he's always trying to make her jealous by flirting with other girls.'
Mina got that evil smile on her face, meaning she's forming a plan on matchmaking. 'Gotta hook them up sometime…' Lita saw that smile and nodded.
"So Amy…" Greg started. "How far ahead are you?" Everyone shook their heads and sweatdroped. 'How typical of them, they'll make a perfect couple.' Darien thought to himself and stole a glance at Serena.
'She's avoiding me!'
'Of course she is stupid! Why do you care anyways?' Darien's conscious teased.
"SHUT UP AND I DON'T CARE!" everyone turned their heads towards him, including Serena. Darien realized that he must have said it out loud. 'SHIT!'
"Are you ok man? You've been acting a little weird today…" Andrew asked, looking confused.
"Err…I'm ok…sorry about that!" Darien apologized.
"Something's up with Serena and Darien…they've been acting weird today…do you know anything about this?" Mina whispered to Andrew.
Andrew suddenly felt nervous about the subject. "Nope, don't know anything." Andrew lied and took a bite on his burger.
"Hey Rei, have you noticed anything weird going on with Darien and Serena? I mean…have you notice they never said a word to each other and Serena's kind of avoiding eye contact with him.." Lita asked Rei, giving her a questioning look.
"Yeah! Something's definitely up with Serena and Darien" Rei said out loud. Serena and Darien's heads shot towards Rei's direction shocked. 'Oh no! Now they're going to question me. I better leave before they start asking.' Serena started to panic. Not a moment after that, Rei realized she had said it out loud. "Oops..?" Lita punched her lightly at the side.
Before anyone could say anything, Serena quickly stood up and made an excuse to leave. "Um..I have to go guys. I just remembered I have to see Ms. Mouri about the um…homework assignment from yesterday!" Serena lied and quickly walked out of the cafeteria. 'Phew..That was close…'
^.^(scene changes to Serena)
Serena pushed open the double doors to get to the schoolyard. She slowly made her way under the cherry blossom tree and sat down. The wind made the pink petals fall everywhere. Serena took in the scent of the cherry blossoms when she took in a deep breath. She closed her eyes and just relaxed under the tree.
"Mind if I sit here?" Someone asked. Serena opened one eye to see who it was.
"Sure! Sit down Seiya!" Serena said, shifting over so make so spot for Seiya. She enjoys Seiya's company. He made her feel relaxed and all her worries drifted away. When she was with Seiya, she felt like she was with an older brother that cares about her. Serena always wanted an older brother, although she still loves Sammy, her younger brother a lot.
"You know…I've always wanted a big brother…" Serena told Seiya, her head turned to his direction.
"Really?" Seiya asked.
"Yeah…and somehow, when I'm with you, I kind of get this feeling like I'm with an older brother." Serena explained. Seiya just smiled.
"Why are you out here all by yourself?" Seiya asked.
"Just feel like spending some quiet time!" Serena answered, her eyes closed. They sat there in silence.
^.^(scene changes to Darien)
The group stared after Serena and their eyes drifted back to Darien. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat. They were expecting an explanation from him. 'Yeah right! If Meatball Head there can escape, I can too!'
"I have to go! See you later!" Darien said and ran out, the girls he passed by stared at his back and sighed dreamily.
Soon everyone at the table was talking again. "What was that" Amy asked with curiosity. She wondered what's going on with Serena and Darien.
'I have to get to the bottom of this.' Mina thought.
Darien made his way outside to the schoolyard. He needed some fresh air. He couldn't stand being inside the stuffy school anymore. He was going to burst if he had to spend another minute in there. Darien couldn't believe the others noticed about the awkwardness between Serena and himself.
'Are you looking for a certain someone?' The voice teased.
'YOU! It's all your damn fault!' Darien yelled at himself.
'What was my fault? Are you talking about the outburst? You're the one who said it out loud!' But Darien didn't reply. He was looking towards the cherry blossom tree, and two people under it. Darien's ocean blue eyes burned with fire, and he stormed inside.
^________^
Seiya felt a pair of eye staring at them. He smirked to himself and rested his head on Serena's shoulder. He turned his head just in time to see Darien rushed into the school. 'So…Darien's jealous…this is rather amusing…' Seiya smirked before closing his eyes again.
