Darien ran down the long hallway searching frantically. He had seen a head of blonde hair with two pigtails and he knew that those pigtails belonged only to one girl. He pushed pass all the kids trying to reach Serena. He searched frantically his eyes searching everywhere as fast as they could. He saw her turn the corner and ran up to her. "Serena" He grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. Her aqua eyes looked large and confused. "Darien…" Serena replied. "Look can we talk for a minute please?" Darien asked as he walked alongside her. "We already did. Look Darien I seriously don't understand why you're even wasting your time." Serena faced him her eyes stern and cold. "To me it's not a waste of time. I could care less if it takes eternity for you to realize that you do mean so much to me. All that happened let's put that behind us." Darien replied. He wasn't willing to back down. He needed Serena and by help him God he'd have her. "Put this behind us? Are you out of your mind? How do you put a school reputation behind you? I still hear the snickers and snide remarks about me Darien. And now they're saying that I made you break up with Ray. Did you know that?" Serena growled. "But those are only rumors. You know your own self so why should you sink any lower to how they depict you Serena? In my eyes you're beautiful, angelic, fragile, and perfect. Maybe you don't realize what I'm saying now is the truth but you'll see soon." Darien grabbed Serena's hands and squeezed them lightly. Serena stared down at their hands and looked up at his face. She slowly pulled away. "Well when it happens we'll see. I only believe what I can see. And right now all I see is a guy who doesn't know what he wants." Serena looked at him one more time and walked away. She knew what she said was not what her heart wanted. He had slowly made the barriers protecting her heart come down. But she wasn't going to give up without a fight. He'd have to prove his love to her.
Darien punched the locker with all the frustration within him. "Damn" He growled. He knew he had Serena. Why was it so difficult for her to comprehend what he felt for her? Was this like a game to her? But he knew that the more she tried to neglect him the more that made him want her. Was it weird to feel something like that or is absolutely normal? Darien sighed and fixed the strap on his backpack. "Well there's always the talent show." It was tomorrow and he was ready for it. He'd have Serena in his arms finally and then everything he could ever wish for would come true.
Ray punched the wall in the girl's bathroom and cried. "Angie you don't understand. That stupid blonde has something to do with this I just know it. And she's going to pay." Ray wiped away the tears furiously. Angie ruffled her light brown hair as she looked at her reflection in the mirror. She was one of Ray's faithful followers and did whatever dirty work Ray needed her to tend to. "How are you going to do that Ray?" She asked as she applied her second coat of passion fruit lip-gloss. "Christ Angie that freaking lip-gloss smells so bad. And it's cheap. Well anyway the talent show is where my plan will unfold." Ray smiled. Angie smelled the lip-gloss curiously. "So what do you plan to do to little Ms. Goldilocks?" Angie laughed. "Well we're going to do a little something. Something with a little kidnapping involved. And Greg's going to be of great help." Ray smiled again and puckered her lips at the mirror. "Am I a genius or what?" Ray laughed and walked out the bathroom with Angie hot on her tail.
Mina sat on the bleachers as she watched Andrew playing football with a couple friends. He was so upset with the Ray and Greg situation and she just needed to make sure that Darien was fine after Andrew had broke the news to him. "Hey Mina!" Serena waved. Mina smiled and waved in return. Serena ran up to the bleachers and sat alongside Mina. "So how's life treating you?" Mina asked. "Besides the little snickers and snide remarks I think its pretty good. So how's it going with you and Andrew?" Serena asked. "Great. He got me this." Mina pushed aside her hair and showed her the beautiful diamond earrings. Serena gasped in delight. "Wow they're beautiful Mina. Your so lucky." Serena sighed happily. Mina smiled and touched the earrings lightly. "Serena I want to ask you a question." Mina finally spoke. "Okay." Serena looked at Mina curiously. "Have you ever you know thought about Darien? As you know more than a friend?" Mina asked. Serena moved away in shock. "You like Darien?" Serena asked. "No! I mean you! You know that Darien is head over heels for you." Mina said and sighed heavily. "No Mina I'm not going to back down. I'm not going to give my heart to Darien Shields. As much as I want to it isn't going to happen." Serena covered her mouth as she let that last sentence slip. "Oh so you do like him!" Mina giggled. Serena blushed furiously. "Yeah I do but my stubborn pride won't let me. After all that's happened to me I don't want heartbreak. That should be the least of my worries." Serena played with the hem of skirt. Mina touched Serena's long blonde pigtail and replied. "But love helps Serena. It's like a remedy for pain. Can't you see how happy Andrew and me are? Love makes you want to get up in the morning for school. It makes you want to be yourself and happy. And I know this sounds like crazy talk and all but trust me Serena. You giving your heart to Darien would probably be the best choice of your life." Mina spoke. Serena stared down at the floor. "Just trust your heart." Mina whispered. She stood up and went to go greet Andrew. Serena sat there with all the things Mina had just told her swirling through her mind. Should she really give him her heart?
"So Darien I heard what happened. Ray must have been torn apart when you ended it with her." Sammie whispered as they sat in study hall. "Pretty much. I could care less right about now." Darien said as he opened his notebook. " Some people are saying that you did it cause Serena seduced you." Sammie laughed. "Who the hell said that?" Darien asked. "The whole drama club. They were there when you and Ray were at it. Is it true?" Sammie asked. "Look whatever goes on in my life is nobody's business. Not yours, not the drama club and not Ray's. So just keep your nose in your own business." Darien growled. Sammie looked at Darien in disgust. "That chick has really gotten to you hasn't she? She's going to bring you down and the only one to blame is yourself." Sammie replied and looked over at the board. Darien looked down at the blank page in front of him. He knew that loving Serena would change his whole life but he was willing to lose it all to have the one thing he wanted and that's her.
