Well, I'm actually going to do the second chapter! I don't own anything BTW

Title: Sugar Suicide – Insignificant

Author: AngelKitty

Will 9 o clock ever roll around? Serena wondered to herself as she glanced up at the clock reading: 8:30 PM. Serena had managed to take up a job after the death of her mother. Though her father had forced her to do it, she was glad that she did. It kept her mind off of everything.

Serena's job was anything but flattering. She was the designated burger flipper for McDougals Fast-Food. She got the job everyone dreaded, but she didn't mind. She didn't' even complain, unless the garbage really reeked outside.

Though she hated the job, she stuck to it, for the money, and to get away from home every other night and weekend. Her friends often invited her to parties and to get-togethers, but thanks to her job, she could easily decline. She never wanted to be with anyone or go anywhere. That was what was great about her job. All she had to do was flip burgers, then put them on the pan and push them back to the wrappers.

Serena's thoughts slowly drifted back to the previous night. Serena was the Moon Princess. The person they'd been looking for the entire time. Luna said that the day would soon come when she would have to defeat Queen Beryl, and save the world. Possibly sacrifice her life. What really upset Serena about that was the way Luna said: Sacrifice your life.

It was like she didn't even care at all.

Am I not pretty enough is my heart too broken,

Do I cry too much am I too outspoken,

Don't I make you laugh should I try it harder,

Why do you see right through me?

9 o clock finally came, and Serena quickly grabbed her jacket and purse.

"Hey Serena?" Serena stopped when she heard her manager calling, "Can I see you for a moment?" He asked, and then entered his office, beckoning her to follow. Serena sighed with annoyance, but politely stepped into his office.

"Yes Mr. Hongon?" She asked softly, and with a smile. He didn't smile though. He just sighed slightly.

"Serena," he began, "As much as I hate to do this, I have to." Serena furrowed a brow, but listened intently. "Serena, Our Company is being, well, financially pressed charges against by McDonalds." He said, "Which is causing us a very large budget cut." He said, "And because you're only a part time worker, we really don't have any great use for you." Serena still was bewildered.

"I don't understand Sir." She said lightly. He handed her a small envelope with her name printed on the front.

"It's your last pay-check Serena. We have to fire you." He said, "I'm very sorry, but we just don't need you." And with that, he left his office. Serena stuffed the envelope in her purse, and then headed down to the Crown Arcade to drown her sorrows in a milkshake.

I live I breath I let it rain on me,

I sleep I wake I try hard not to break,

I crave I love I've waited long enough,

I try as hard as I can.

Down at the Crown Arcade, a contest was being held. Whoever could score 1,000,000,000 points on the new Sailor V Video Game won 300 dollars and free tokens to play games for a month.

Serena was weary of all the commotion. She sat down at the counter instead of a booth, and laid her head down, listening to the people around her, and watching the crowd diagonal from her seat. Around her, friends were asking friends to get up and see, or get up at play.

"Hey, Miss. Emily!" Andrew said to one of the girls sitting near Serena, "Come on and play! I bet you could win!" And she took off smiling with him.

Serena muttered some curses under her breath and a whip of jealously flooded through her. Why wasn't anyone asking her to play or come watch with them. She knew a good amount of people in the room, and often spent valuable time with them too. Besides, everyone knew Serena was the queen of video games, especially Sailor V.

Did they even notice if she was there? She wondered. Or worse, did they know she was there but choose to ignore her? Her thoughts made her even more depressed. She felt like she was the only person not being asked to have a good time, or participate. As her morbid thoughts continued on, Andrew did finally approach her,

"Hey Serena!" He chimed, coming up to stand next to her, "Come on! Let's see who wins!" He said with high spirits.

"No Thanks." Serena said sharply, and then looked away. Andrew frowned slightly, but thought it best not to try and push her into anything.

Serena wanted to go have fun, she really did. But why go now? Why hadn't someone asked sooner? She wondered. About an hour passed, and it was after 10 o clock. Serena noted this with great panic. They had a scout meeting at ten. Serena jumped from her seat, and sped out of the arcade, forgetting all about her job and the game momentarily.

"I can't believe this!" She scolded at herself, in her mind, lowering her own self-esteem with her angered thoughts.

"Oaf! Hey! Watch it Meatball-Head!" Serena already knew whom the smoky voice belonged to. She'd, of course ran into no other than Darien. She rubbed her nose softy to ease it of the pain of hitting the familiar hard chest.

"Sorry Darien, but I'm in a hurry! I don't need this right now!" She yelled, whining slightly, and trying to push him aside, but he didn't' budge.

"What? Failed another test?" He mocked. Serena began to fume.

"No!" She screeched at the top of her lungs. The memories of the events of the day flooded back to her. Fired because they didn't need her anymore, and no one wanted her to join them at the arcade.

Small, but painful to Serena. "Please, Darien." Serena begged with pleading eyes, "Just stop being a big jerk for once in your life and let me get to the people that need me!" She was trying to sound controlling, but desperate, like someone was in the hospital or something. Darien saw right through it though..

"Who would need YOU meatball-head?" He snapped, "All you do is cry and complain. You have no talents, and are a total failure." He snapped. "Your completely insignificant." And with that, he walked away.

Serena stood in place for about ten minutes after he left. Insignificant? She knew by what he'd said what that meant. Didn't anyone need her? Anyone at all?

I laugh I feel I make believe it's real,

I fall I freeze I pray down on my knees,

I hope I stand I take it like a man,

I try as hard as I can.

All right, everyone knows my review rule. Reviews or no next chapter!
