(Serena's Pov)

I swear that it was 5 after 8 like half an hour ago! Why does this class have to take so long? Turning back to the teacher, she was rambling on and on about who knows what. All I see is her mouth moving but it's like there's no words coming out. I wonder if she'd really notice if I'd fall asleep.

Thinking back on what happened over the weekend really confused me. What could he really do? Should I accept him back? He just gave up last time. What's to stop him from doing that now? How could he have just given up? There had to be another reason. Like he had to start not having feelings before the fight there's no other possibility. What changed his mind?

Is there an earthquake? I opened my eyes to see Mina's bright blue ones staring back at me.

"Uh Serena, earth to Serena, class is over. You still in there?"

"Uh what?"

"The bell rang like 5 minutes ago."

"WHAT. Oh man I'm going to be so late!" With that I grabbed my stuff and bolted out the door. I rushed down the hall and then down the steps tripping 3 steps towards the floor, landing with a big thud against the door. The door opened revealing the hall monitor.

"Are you alright?"

"Oh yeah I'm uh, I'm great, gotta go, bye!" I said as I nervously giggled scratching the back of my head. Slowly walking passed him and then ran out the door. I made it just in time to my next class taking my seat in front of Lita.

"What's that read spot on your forehead?"

"Uh what."

"Her look," she took out her compact mirror and showed me the red mark I had from hit the door.

"I uh had a bit of an accident."

"I'll say you did."

"Hey it's not that funny."

"She's right, it's hilarious."

"Shut up Dan."

"Well now I'm offended."

"You should be Dan."

After I said that he put his hand over his heart and leaned back then 'thud'.

"Hahahaha, see I'm not the only one who fell."

"Hahaha, I can't believe you just fell out of your chair," Lita's face got so red and she was holding her sides. Just to see her face would make you die of laughter. And that's pretty much how the rest of the day went.

After Gym was over I went to my locker and grabbed my things, and then headed downstairs to meet up with Mina so we could walk home together.

Passing Darien's locker I was almost by him when he grabbed my hand and put a note in it. Closing my hand with his gentle touch he left walking the opposite direction not before I saw a huge smile on his face.

Opening it up as I was walking down the hall it said HELLO in big letters. Well that's a tad bit odd. I turned it over noticed there was more writing. It said:

I would have told you that in person but whenever I see you, you take my breath away and I'm at a loss for words.

I stopped dead in my tracks staring wide eyed at the paper in front of me. Mina came up to me with an odd look on her face when she noticed I was staring at a piece of paper in my hands so she took it from me and read it.

"Oh my god, that's sooo sweet! I think he's really trying."

"Uh what?" I finally looked up at her and I noticed that she had that look in her eyes. You know the look with hearts in her eyes when she knows someone's in love.

"But how do you know?"

"Oh please you got to be kidding me, I started to follow you and I saw the whole thing even got it on tape." Then she smiled and winked at me handing back the note.

"You.....taped it?"

"You bet."

"......you're kidding."

"Nope."

"I don't believe you."

"Well then I could just show you."

We were walking upstairs and we saw Darien, Andrew, and Chad walk out of the boy's locker room towards the weight room.

"Hey Shields!" Mina yelled waving to them. When she did all three heads turned towards us. Darien had a goofy grin on his face while Andrew and Chad started laughing and getting one of those looks on their faces letting you know they're up to something. I grabbed a hold of Mina's hand and drug her down the hall completely out of site where we met up with Amy and Lita.

"Hey did you guys hear about that dance we're going to have next Friday?"

"Who'd you hear that from, by the way did you get new rose earings?"

"Oh yeah, I just got them yesterday, Mina you should have come with me to the mall yesterday, I saw these two really hot guys and the one would have been perfect for you."

"Oh yeah I think I saw them, I was shopping for a book."

"You were at the mall?"

"Yes Serena."

"Oh my god I think we finally broke through Amy not only did she go to the mall but she checked out two hot guys!"

"I was shopping for a book."

"Yeah you were shopping alright."

"Hey!"

"Leave Amy alone, she can't be a nerd the rest of her life."

"Ouch that hurt."

"Oh I'm sorry."

"OW, geez now she's turning into Lita!"

"Yeah and pigs can fly."

"Well you never know Lita."

"Alright guys lets go home."

"Aw but Serena I thought you'd want to stay longer and watch Darien come out all sweaty."

"Aw but Mina I know you want to watch Andrew come out all sexy with the sweat hanging of the end of his hair."

"Well as much fun as it'd be to watch you two drool we really should get going, Rei would kill us."

"That's ok Lita we can just say it was all Serena's fault."

"Was not!"

"Haha I was just kidding."

The four of us started to walk to the temple. Amy and Lita were in the front talking about the two hot guys at the mall while Mina and I started to chat.

"So you ready to go to Florida for our tournament this weekend?"

"Are you kidding me? I'm so excited, in a way it's kind of good it's on Valentines day."

"Haha yeah maybe Darien will make another surprise visit."

"Oh right, he'd be crazy to go all that way just to come to my tournament."

"Yeah but that'd be incredibly sweet."

"I'm not that lucky."

"So would you take him back?"

"I don't know. I mean all the pain he caused.....but yet there's still a part of me wants him back so much. You know?"

"Yeah, well anyways I hope it all works out."

"Yeah I guess."

Reaching the top of the stairs pink flower peddles started to blow around in the wind.

"You excited for the dance next weekend?"

"Yeah, sure."

"I bet you Darien will ask you to dance."

"Maybe."

"Oh come on, he will. Would you?"

"Um yeah no harm in that....right?"

"Yup sounds good."

"So what about you and Andrew."

"Oh well he might."

"Ha he will, and you two will be drooling all over eachother."

"Will not."

"Sure what ever you say."

Walking into the temple we all sat down and started eating one of Lita's delicious snacks talking gossip. Not that I was really listening or anything. I had other things on my mind.

The rest of the week went by pretty slowly after Monday. Saturday was a blast. We got first in the pool and afterwards the whole team went out for a night of fun. They went to everything from shopping, going to the beach, to bowling. The next day, Valentines Day, they ended up placing 2nd in the Silver bracket.

After a fairly long drive home they arrived around 8 o'clock and Mina's and my Family decided to stop for something to eat. After many laughs we headed our separate ways and headed home. Grabbing my two bags, my pillow, and some other stuff I took along to keep me busy out of the car, I walked inside after my brother.

"Geez Sammy you could at least turn on the light."

Nearly tripping over the stairs I dragged my bags up the stairs and stopped in front of my door. I opened the door, looked down and grabbed my things. When I walked in my room, my breathing stopped. As I gasped I dropped all my things to the floor and brought my hands up to my mouth. Looking around the room took my breath away. I felt like a little kid again.

Walking over to my bed stepping over the red and white rose petals scattered across the floor I picked up the roses the lay all over my bed and breathed in their scent closing my eyes. I didn't even need to turn on my light, there were candles perfectly placed every where. There was no room to put any of my things because of all the roses in my room. The Way by Clay Aiken was softly playing from my speaker.

I walked through my glass doors onto my balcony I looked around, then I noticed neatly placed in rose petals was HAPPY VALENTINES DAY. There were vines with roses hanging all over the place outside and candles placed on the railing. Taking in my surroundings I slowly turned around I found the person who had done all this standing there with that same goofy grin on his face.

With the wind lightly blowing, his hair was gently messing up his hair making him look even more handsome than I've ever seen. He took a step closer closing the gap between us. His face so close to mine, he softly whispered Happy Valentines Day before gently placing his lips on mine. His lips tasted like roses or maybe it was just all of the roses around us.

We stood like that forever until we needed to breathe. I'm not sure whether it was the lack of oxygen or shock of what was going on but the next thing I knew, I fainted.

I woke up the next morning in my bed, wondering if last night was real or not but when I woke up everything was still the same. Luckily we had an in service day at school or I would be incredibly late for school. Getting out of my bed I walked over to my balcony. I slowly opened the door remembering everything that happened last night. On the railing underneath one of the candles I noticed a note.

Hey Serena

I'm sorry you couldn't stay awake long enough to watch the stars with me. Don't worry I caught you before you could fall. I hope you like your gift. Happy Valentines Day.

Love Darien

What gift? The flowers? Grabbing the note I walked back inside when I saw a perfectly wrapped gift on my nightstand.

Unwrapping the gift I saw it was a black velvet box. Taking a couple seconds to catch my breathe I opened it. Inside was a silver ring with a red heart in the middle a little moon in the top right and a little red rose in the bottom left. There were silver wings coming from the sides forming the top part of the circular ring. Looking on the inside there was an engraving in gold that said My Only Love.

I took another look at the note and I noticed more writing on the back.

The moon and the rose signifies who we are. The Wings signify eternity. And the heart signifies love, and if you wear it pointing towards you means you belong to someone.

With that I slipped on the ring.
