I DO NOT AND NEVER WILL Sniff!OWN SAILORMOON....

She went to school that morning alone that day. It would have been torture to walk with him, to be near him and yet she couldn't have him.

She arrived and looked around. She had never felt so alone. She always had Darien by her side in everywhere she goes. She cried silent tears under the tree where she had decided to hide until the first bell rang. As she wept, she replayed memories of them in her mind...

FLASHBACK

Serena's 9th Birthday

"...happy birthday to you..." they all sang. A little Serena looked around happily as her mother excited the kitchen with a large birthday cake. It was a two layered cake with a moon with rabbit icing, and on the sides were "star confetti". She looked at it with round anxious eyes.

"Blow the candles sweetheart..." said her father. She blew the candles on by one as her guests clapped.

It was already nighttime when the guests have all gone. She felt a tap on her shoulder and saw Darien there. He was holding a small box.

" Happy birthday Serena..." he said shyly, holding out a box.

She looked at the box then to him. The box was in pure gold wrapping. It had a pink ribbon binding it. She smiled and hugged him as she took it. As she opened the box she saw a beautiful golden locket.

"I...I thought ... you'd like it...." She giggled as she walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek

"Thanks..." she whispered

END OF FALSHBACK

"BRRIIIINNNGGG!!!!" the shrill ringing of the 1st bell jerked her out of her thoughts.

Serena gathered her things and wiped the tears out of her eyes. She put on some make-up so that people wouldn't notice that she had spent most of the morning crying. Especially Darien. She put on a happy face and walked on to her first class.

Darien's POV

'Where is she?!' I thought furiously. 'She already left home when I came to pick her up! Could...could...she have been avoiding me?'

Last night when he had called her for their usual chats on the phone she said she didn't feel too good and have to go to sleep early. Could it be true... but then... why?

' No... I'm jumping to conclusions again... ' I thought.

' But what do you think she's doing THAT early in school?' my mind questioned.

' Maybe... maybe... she just need to do something.... yeah! That's right... maybe she just have to do something in school...'

'In five in the morning? I don't think so!' my mind shouted at me.

" I must be mental... I'm fighting with myself..." I whispered.

' Anyway, I'll just clear this whole thing with her later at the school contest practice.' I decided.

THAT AFTERNOON

There was a lot of people scattered along the passageway to the auditorium where the practices were held. Serene was already there on stage, white as chalk, clinging on to the mic as if it was her life. Her music began to play.

"Hmm... Jealous of the girl who caught your eyes...

One of my darker days

When you looked at her where was I?

Shoulda been in her place

Here I am

All alone imagining what might have been

What could have been

If I had been there

Jealous of the one who'se arms are around you

If she's keeping you satisfied

Jealous of the one who finally found you

Made your sun and your stars collide

La la la la la la la

She's a very very lucky girl

La la la la la la la

Jealous of the one who won your heart

They say it's a perfect match

She's gonna get to be where you are

And it won't get better than that

She'll say you're fine

Whisper words I wish were mine

And they might have been

What could have been

If I had been there

And you know I'd fight a good fight

If I thought I'd change your mind..." and she broke off sobbing. Darien was speechless. She felt her, her emotions (A.N. Yah, I know it's like the one on the 3rd chap but hey... it fits!!! ^.^), it's as if the song was really the words she wanted to say... but to whom? Could she be in love with someone... no... please... don't.... Is... is that why's she a...avoiding me? No... he whispered. He couldn't help it... tears was treating to fall. He ran as fast as his two feet can carry him.
