Chapter 2

Darien was at home and thought how she could be so entrancing. He looked down at the blank sheets of paper, then at his typewriter. 'Why did I have to get writer's block now, when I need the money the most.' Then he thought about going tomorrow to ask Andrew for some money.He sat down on his bed and looked at his Great Dane, staring at him with those big eyes.

"I don't have any money right now for food, stop staring." He told his dog and looked away. 'I bet she thinks, I'm rich. That's probably the only reason she's going out with me.'

He started to think. He thought about his parents, about the orphanage, but then his minds drifted back to Serena. Her blue eyes, her pink lips, her...weird hairstyle. He wondered what she was doing at that moment.

Serena ran home, past her mother, and towards her room. Her mother looked up and thought maybe she should apologize for saying what she said but then thought otherwise. When Serena got to her room, she called Mina, her cousin, and told her to call the others so they could talk and to meet her in the garden.

"Okay, see you in half an hour, okay?" Mina said goodbye and hung up as she called the others.

Serena hung up her phone and sat back on her bed and thought about Darien. 'He is so cute. I can't wait until tomorrow.' She sat up and walked to her bookshelf and found what she was looking for. 'This is the best book I've ever read.' She thought as she sat down on her chair and looked through "The Auction". The book was about a man who ends up being auctioned at a fundraiser to an ex girlfriend, who didn't recognize him, since they dated in junior high. They end up falling in love and then she finds out that he was lying to her about things, and... well they split. But then there's a happy ending. Oh, how Serena loved the book. Really predictable, but she didn't care. Serena couldn't believe she met the author and he actually asked her out. She put the book on her chair and left to go to the garden.

As she arrived she saw that Mina was there and so was Lita. Lita was a striving chef, but no one wanted a female cook. Lita was a tough lady, but all her friends knew she was a softie at heart. She had brown hair, which she usually had up in a ponytail but today she had it down. She was real tall, about 5'9" and always wore these pink rose earrings her old boyfriend gave her. Mina looked at Serena and waved.

Serena looked a lot like Mina. She always thought that the female genes in her family were strong. Amanda and Sabine were twin sisters, but you could tell the difference easily. Sabine always wore her hair up in a bun and looked older and more serious, but Mina's mom, she let her hair down, a bandana holding it, and she was always having fun and was more of a 'live life by the moment' kind of woman. Anyway Amanda was divorced, her husband couldn't handle such a wild woman, and raised Mina to be just like her, wild and carefree. Sabine has been married for 27 years, with a real lack of romance.

"Hi Serena!" Yelled Lita. "Come over here."

"Coming." Serena ran and tripped over a little crack that she always tripped over. Thankfully she didn't fall.

Raye came through the gates right as Serena got to the girls. Raye had black hair and unnaturally purple eyes. She was very spiritual, and people would come to her for help on love, luck, and money, and the unusual thing is that their love and luck and money improved, right after having their meeting with Raye. She loved helping others and cherished the fact that she wasn't an outsider for her abilities. The only problem was that Serena and Raye fight constantly, but they're usually just tiny little arguments. Raye turned around and smiled and then Amy came through the gates as well.

Amy had pretty black hair, but in the daytime when the sun was at it's highest and when the moon shone down, it was as if it was blue. No one knew why, but they all thought it was cool. Amy wanted to be a doctor, but got a job as a nurse instead. Serena was always jealous of her. Amy had gotten her dream job and she wasn't even all that happy. She wanted to be a doctor and thought that she will be in the coming years. One of the few women doctors in the world.

"So, what will we talk about this evening?" Asked Amy.

"You'll never gue-" Serena was caught off by Raye.

"This lady came by today and told me to wish her husband luck with becoming Senator, so he could become president. 'Lou Henry Hoover the First Lady', don't you like the sound of that?" Raye was happy that she could help her and her husband Herbert.

"That's great Raye, who knows maybe Lou Henry will invite you to the white house," Mina said. She looked at Serena and saw that she was a little ticked off. "So what were you going to say Serena?"

Serena looked at them and sighed. "I was going to say that Darien Shields asked me out, but I see that it's not as important as being friends with a future First Lady."

"Oh my gosh. Serena. The Darien Shields. Auction writer. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Oh. My. Gosh." Mina was just in shock.

"When did you meet? Where did you meet? When are you going out? Where?" Lita babbled on and on.

"Calm down guys. I met him today at Sakura. He asked me out for coffee, and I told him I don't drink it. I turned around to walk away, you know, hoping he would say something, and then he asked me to the fair, and we're going to meet at 6 o'clock." It was as if everyone was entranced with the thought of Darien Shields asking her out, but not Raye.

"It's just a date. Come on, wouldn't you rather be invited to the white house." Raye said.

"Actually, Raye, people aren't usually allowed to go in, unless they're family. And Serena dating is always a big thing. She might get married and then her mother wouldn't always bring those guys around. God knows, how many of them I've treated in the last 2 months." Amy looked at Serena, who was smiling with glee of the memories of torturing those men.

"Thank you, Amy. Now... what should I wear!"

Next chapter will be out after I get reviews, okay? Okay.
