Chapter 2: Can't stay away

"Hey Serena over here!" Her friend Mina waved her over. Serena smiled. Even though Mina was on the pedestal of popularity they were still really close and she really liked that. Mina was the least bit snotty. She always gave everyone a chance and was completely sweet. She was just demanding when she felt she had to, but other than that Mina was no different from anyone else that Serena had ever known. And that was a fact.

Serena walked over to Mina. She had realized that Darien and Andrew were sitting there. She cursed herself for not even glancing to see if Mina was alone. "Hey how are you Serena?" Mina asked as she hugged her. "Pretty good. I'm just like a little out of it. You know with mom and all." Serena glanced over at Darien. He was looking at her to. Serena felt like her heart was going to pop out of her chest. She felt his eyes burn through her. "So how's everything with your mom anyway?" Mina asked as she sat next to her boyfriend on the bleachers. Serena was left standing. "She's not so good. Today was my dad's…birthday." A topic like this really hurt Serena. She hated talking about it and she hated it even more that she spoke about it in front of Darien.

Darien saw the pain in her eyes as she spoke about her dad. It was as if Mina was tormenting her with those stupid questions of hers. He could see her playing with her hair trying to play it cool. She was about to have a meltdown if Mina didn't quit it. "I think we should let go of this topic." Darien spoke. Everyone looked at him in surprise. Serena looked at him as though he was a Martian who had overtaken his body. "Umm… I guess." Mina replied completely embarrassed. "Yea I guess." Serena replied meekly.

"So I heard you're planning on singing and playing the piano for the school's annual Spring Fling Talent Show?" Ray walked into their conversation with a slight grin on her face. "Well yea. But I'm not so sure about it. There's a lot of competition." Serena replied looking away from Ray. "What are you scared of a little competition? Your good from what I heard so what should you be scared of?" Ray smiled menacingly. As if daring Serena to challenge her. "As a matter a fact Serena's really good at the piano and her singing is even better. Oh speaking of talent what will you be doing for the talent show? Playing the role of a prostitute. Since you're an actress it suits you well." Mina quickly stood to Serena's defense. "Ha very funny Ms. Blonde Bobble Head Barbie! As I recall I was speaking with Serena." Ray spat. "Hey stop okay. Mina I can defend myself and Ray I'm not scared of competition alright? Just back off!" Serena was tired of Ray's little jealous tantrums and her snide remarks. "I'll see you guys later." Serena walked away trying hard to avoid another confrontation with Ray.

"Why'd you have to go there for Ray?" Darien walked with Ray to the back staircase. "Look I just really don't like her Darien. I know she has something for you and my feelings are always right. I just don't want to lose you." Ray touched his face gently. Darien pulled away angry. "It's as though you don't trust a single person with me Ray. Serena is Mina's friend and Mina is Andrew's girl who is my friend. We're bound to just end up being friends to have you thought?" Darien felt the blood rushing to his head. "Why the hell are you defending her in the first place Darien? I'm your girlfriend not her! I can't seem top understand you!" Ray yelled. She was in another of her dramatics. "Stop it with all the dramatics we're not in a play! Don't you understand that your attitude towards people makes you so unattractive?" Darien yelled without even thinking about what he said. "I'M UNATTRACTIVE?? Am I unattractive now Darien huh? Because I wanted to boost up that stupid girls confidence? I sometimes even think if you really do see me as your girlfriend. Am I?" Ray shouted. "What kind of stupid question is that Ray? You are my girlfriend. It's just the way you are sometimes is not like the girl I fell for in the first place." Darien replied. "Look Darien when you can get your thoughts and words straight we'll talk because right now your just causing me so really big stress. I'll see you later." Ray sighed and walked away leaving Darien to his thoughts.

Serena walked down the hallway. She had realized what a stupid girlfriend Darien had. "Almost as stupid as him." Serena whispered. "Almost as stupid as who?" A voice spoke behind her. Serena turned around and spotted one of Darien's jock friends. His name was Gregory Simms. He was an alternate for the team. "Oh I was just talking to myself." Serena replied feeling awkward just the tow of them alone. "Oh it's alright. SO Serena I've been seeing you around her and I have to say you're a sight for the eyes." His voice was slurred. "Have you been drinking Gregory?" Serena moved back as he moved forward towards her. "Sssh the school doesn't know I sneaked in some Vodka." He laughed and the stench of liquor burned Serena's eyes. "Greg if they see you like this you could get suspended." Serena continued moving backwards until she bumped into the furnace. "Look Serena don't worry about that. I really want to kiss you and that's all that matters right now." Gregory landed on Serena. "Greg stop get off!" Serena began to panic. " Hush, you shut up and let me work my magic on you." Gregory kissed her neck furiously. "Stop please!" Serena cried as she tried to push him off. Gregory began to unbutton Serena's blouse. "Stop get off me!!!!" Serena cried and she felt violated. She was scared and trapped. Her arms were pinned to her sides by his strong hands. She heard someone enter the empty hallway.

Darien was pissed as he saw he sight in front of him. Gregory was kissing Serena. He was…raping her. He felt the anger boiling up inside of him. "Greg get off her now!" Darien pushed Gregory off. "No man she was mine first!" Gregory swung and missed Darien's face. Darien punched him and Gregory landed on the floor with a loud thump. "Damn Dare what the hell?! You could have waited your turn. Wait don't you have Ray?' Greg laughed. "Get the hell outta her before I stomp your brain through your eyes." Darien threatened. Gregory scrambled up and ran out of the hallway.

"Are you alright?' Darien touched Serena's face. She pulled away. "Don't touch me please." She whimpered. "I'm not going to hurt you Serena. I'm not that bastard." Darien whispered. "He…he tried…thank you Darien." Serena stuttered as she choked on her tears. "He didn't…?" Darien asked. "No…he was until you came." Serena sobbed. "I…it was my fault." She cried on his shoulder. "No it wasn't Serena. Don't blame yourself for this. Greg's a pervert and a jackass. I understand." Darien hugged Serena tighter. After a while she stopped crying. "Are you okay now?" Darien asked kneeling in front of her still. "Yea." Serena looked up into his eyes. He looked into hers and she felt the tension between them. She leaned in and so did he. She felt his breath against her face. He brushed away a strand of hair. She felt his lips getting ever so close to hers. Suddenly the door flew open, "Serena I was looking everywhere for you!" Lita ran over to her. Darien moved away embarrassed. "Mina told me what that witch Ray did." She looked over at Darien and back at Serena. "Um did I interrupt something?" Lita asked in surprise. "No…Serena wasn't feeling so good so I was asking her if she needed a lift to the nurse. "Oh…I'll take it form her though." Lita helped Serena stand up. She noticed Serena's blouse was unbuttoned but she didn't dare to ask. That would wait until Darien was out of sight.
