Chapter 3: Jerk!
As she stared up into his face, her face turned crimson red. She breathed deeply, trying to calm herself. Panting, she began to rise, when she noticed his outstretched hand. Serena paused, contemplating whether or not to reach for it. Did she really want to accept his help and admit she was weak? Not a chance! Ignoring his hand, she began to stand up and winced as a searing pain shot up her leg.
"Are you all right?" he asked, his face full of concern.
"Uh . . . yeah . . .I'm fine." She muttered through clenched jaws, attempting to hide her suffering as she got up. The pain was almost unbearable. Her hand stung. Glancing down, she noticed the deep scratches in her palm where blood had already begun to trickle down towards her fingers. She must have gotten hurt from the collision.
"Oh, okay then. Heh . . . maybe next time you should watch where you're going." He replied cockily, anticipating her reaction.
"W-w-WHAT???" she exclaimed, the word bursting out of her mouth, as she ignored the pain in her leg and hand. "I need to watch where I'M going? HAA!!!"
"That's right! You heard me! This was YOUR fault. Before was YOUR fa. . ."
"Spare me. This was YOUR fault! YOU bumped into me!"
"I did not."
"You did too."
"Did not."
"Did too!"
"I'm not going to participate in this childish game."
"That's because you know you'll lose!"
"Would not."
"Would t . . . " Serena was about to retaliate when she was cut short by a loud hushing noise.
"Shhh!!! Shut up, Meatball head! The whole neighborhood can hear you!" Raye said as she stepped out of the shadows of the temple.
Serena had been so enraged by her attacker that she didn't realize she was in front of the temple where Raye lived.
"Oh . . . so that's your name! MEATBALL HEAD!" Darien smirked, pleased at the look on Serena's face. She still didn't know his name, even though he had known hers from the moment they met on the street.
She stood there with her mouth in a hateful frown and her blue eyes wide open, staring at Darien with a look of contempt.
"ARGH!!!" she bellowed. "You are . . ."
"Extremely attractive? Devilishly handsome?"
". . . the most irritating man I have EVER met!"
"Really? I thought you kept running into me just so you could see me."
"Ugh . . . In your dreams. I wouldn't run into you on purpose if they paid me. You're a pig."
"Whatever. You keep thinking that . . . MEATBALL HEAD!"
"AHHH!!! YOU JERK!!!"
She shot a Darien a murderous look and stalked off, leaving Raye and Darien in the middle of the darkened street.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Uh . . . Sorry about that . . . Serena's not in a very good mood today." Raye apologized sheepishly. She hated awkward silences.
"Oh . . . no problem. I was just joking around. I hope she didn't take it personally." He admitted, eyeing Serena staggering down the street. "I think I'm going to go home now. Sorry to have woken you up."
"It's okay. See you later!" Raye responded as she walked back up the temple steps. Serena? Not take it personally? He's in for a BIG surprise, she thought, chuckling. I can't WAIT to see what happens next.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serena attempted to walk normally, which was extremely difficult due to the stinging pain throughout her leg. Don't let him see you limp, she said to herself, determined not to let him get to her.
She had never met a guy so cocky, so conceited, so irritating! She couldn't stand him, yet there was a part of her that desperately wanted to see him again. NO, she thought to herself. He is a loser. I do NOT like him.
She was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she did not notice Darien trailing closely behind her, watching her hobble off into the darkness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He quickened his pace to catch up to her. Her limp hung guiltily on his conscience. While they were arguing, he noticed a few drops of blood trickling down her fingers onto the street. Alarmed that she might be in more pain than she had claimed to be, he began to run after her.
As he approached her staggering form, he slowed down, afraid to upset her more. He didn't think his joke would make her so angry.
He flinched as he watched her crumble onto the cold stone pavement and gradually lift herself back onto her feet. Darien followed her for 15 minutes, unsure whether or not to help her. Just as he was about to reveal his presence, she opened a small black gate leading to a large house. She paused before she entered the house. Taking a deep breath, she stumbled into the doorway and slammed the door shut.
I hope I didn't get her in trouble, he thought, regretfully. I've done enough to her.
Looking around, Darien realized that Serena lived only a few houses away from him. He glanced back at her doorway and began to trudge home, her words echoing in his mind.
