Okay again... I don't own any of the Sailor Moon Characters.
A Model Who Wants to be Normal Chapter 8
Serena was driving through town where she spotted a billboard with a picture of her advertising Gap clothes. In the picture, Serena was wearing a pair of Gap faded jeans with a light blue tank, with a black and white scarf. She looked like she was riding a bike. Serena thought, 'Is it me, or am I'm seeing a lot of myself more?' She chuckled to herself and continued driving.
Darien on the other hand, was sitting at a table reading a surfing magazine. He was skimming through the magazine and came to a picture of Serenity in a pink and white maui flowered bikini, under one arm she was carrying a roxy surf board. Her hair was placed in 2 high pigtails that looked like she just came back from surfing. Her eyes were surrounded with black eyeliner. Darien was thinking, 'Damn. She's so beautiful!' Back at his house, he had a poster of Serenity hanging up on his wall.
Just then, Serena walked into the library and spotted Darien huddled at the corner table gazing at something that had his full attention.
Darien looked up and thought, 'Is that who I think it is?' Darien was staring at Serena who was walking towards him. Thinking that it was a dream, he heard, "Darien... hello? Anybody there? It's me Serena." He looked at the magazine and looked straight back at Serena. 'Shit! Serena looks just like Serenity,' Darien thought as he was shocked with awe, not paying attention what he was saying, "Serena has anybody told you that you look exactly like the super model Serenity?"
Serena was a little unnerved at Darien's question, but thought, 'Yes, but to tell you the truth... I am Serenity,' but didn't tell him that. "You know, actually I have heard that, but I don't see any resemblance between her and me. I personally think that Serenity is much more beautiful than I am."
Darien couldn't believe his ears! He had believed that Serena was actually Serenity standing right in front of him. From the first time he laid eyes on her, he had thought that he had died and gone to heaven. To him, he thought that she was an angel. "Serena, I swear that you could have been her twin, if not hotter," stated Darien.
Serena blushed at the comment, knowing that she is the Serenity, but flattered at the same time. Only if he knew... then realizing why she came to the library. "Okay then, since the chit chat is done, how about we get working on our project?"
Darien's head was somewhere around cloud 9, but Serena's voice hit him and remembered, "Oh yeah. Do you remember what we're supposed to do for Mr. G's class? Because I don't remember what the assignment was."
"Umm... it was something about Catcher in the Rye. I think we're supposed to write some kind of script of what it would be like if Holden and Emily Dickenson ever meet," said Serena.
"Alright, do you have any ideas?" asked Darien.
"I was hoping that you would have something to present," stated Serena, while she was taking out a notebook from her backpack. There was silence and neither of them had any kind of idea. Serena suggested, "Why don't start off with them in a bar?"
"So they're in a bar..." Darien and Serena continue working on their dialogue between Holden and Emily for 2 hours. Once they finished, Darien proposed, "Since we done with the script, do you want to go over the lines? Since we're to act them out on Monday."
"Okay," said Serena. They ran through the lines and practice until they were satisfied with the script. They were finally done and Serena was thinking, "Now that we're done I guess that I'll just see you tomorrow at school then." She was packing her things and getting ready to go.
"Wait. It's still kinda early. Do you want to go get some dinner?" asked Darien, who was also putting away his things.
"Umm... I don't think that I'm hungry quite yet. So why don't we go our separate ways until tomorrow?" Serena was beginning to feel uncomfortable being around Darien. It wasn't that she didn't like him, it was just the fact that he was the type of boy that she couldn't trust herself with. She was afraid about her secret and didn't want to have too many friends, because they could end up back stabbing her like the last time.
"Come on... just a little bit of food? I know this great place that we could get a snack and some coffee if you would like?" said Darien.
After hearing the word coffee, Serena was definitely up for some coffee. "Fine, let's go, I could go for a cup of joe." Knowing that Serena gave in and believed that getting coffee couldn't hurt her.
They both left the library and Darien asked, "Serena, do you want a ride the arcade?"
"The arcade? I thought that we were going to a café or something like that? And no I don't need a ride, I'll just follow you there."
"The arcade is a café and a video arcade that Andrew works at. His father owns the place and Andrew works there when his father asks him to. I think that Andrew is there now." They walked to their cars, not realizing that they had parked next to each other.
"Just lead the way and I'll follow you," said Serena while she was getting in her car and starting the engine.
Darien warned Serena, "I hope that you'll be able to keep up with me. I tend to speed," and he winked at Serena, giving her the face that 'I like to speed and good luck catching up with me.'
Serena smiled back and Darien backed up and sped off. Serena peeled out and sped to catch up with him. They reached the arcade and Serena was able to follow him the entire way without getting lost.
They got out and headed towards the arcade. They walked inside and Darien saw that Andrew was working, "Hey Drew. How did your study group go with Mina?" smiling and hinting, 'So did you get anywhere with the blonde?' while seating himself at the counter. Serena did the exact same, but seating herself right next to Darien.
Andrew looked at Darien as if he was going to kill him, but held his peace and spoke, "Hey Serena, why don't you look lovely today," smiling at Serena. Andrew turned glanced at Darien and saw that Darien looked at him with the look of, 'why are you messing with my chick!?!?!' "Darien, don't look so serious, come on! Just relax. Mina and I just finished up our work about 20 minutes ago, but she had to go to a volleyball game or practice. I don't know which one; they're pretty much the same to me."
"Oh yeah! Mina always has a volleyball practice; she's so serious about volleyball. But you should see her on the courts at a game. She's soo into it that it's scary sometimes. She serves that ball sooo fast that I swear that I can't see it some times," said Serena.
"Yeah, I noticed that she's always running around after school going to some type of practice. But she looks in great shape for volleyball," said Andrew.
"Drew, I need to talk to you," stated Darien, who was looking mighty suspicious to Serena. Darien got up and walked back to the kitchen with Andrew.
"Dar, what's up?"
"Fuck! She's one tough cookie! I know that she's hesitating everything I'm throwing at her! One minute she looks like she's having a good time, then the next she's cold as ice!"
"Hey man, it's not my prob. It's all you. You know you have until prom. You can't back out of this one buster!"
"AHHH!!!! FUCK! Okay... I just work a lot harder, but I all I know so far, if I do then don't expect me to around too much with you and the guys. She's a hard nut to crack. There's something that she's hiding and I'm going to break her down and find out."
"Alright man... don't lose your defenses."
"Oh yeah, do you have any coffee? Serena told me that she's a big addict of coffee," asked Darien.
"Yeah there's a fresh pot, I'll grab the mugs," said Andrew as he grabbed a couple of mugs.
"Thanks, bud. So what happened with Mina so far?" asked Darien as picked up the coffee pot and began pouring some coffee.
"I think things are going well so far. I felt that there was this connection between us, but I got scared that I started backing off. So actually, I don't think that it went too smoothly."
"Just like you said before... 'Hey man, it's not my prob. It's all you. You have until prom.' Or something like that. But you know that you don't want to lose and end up taking Lindsay."
"I dunno... it's just I know what to say, but when I'm about to say it... it gets all jumbled. I tried to compliment her on her smile... but I ended up saying that she had a beautiful ass... but I apologized for that," said Andrew, while Darien was laughing at his friend's mistakes. "Well I'm glad that you're amused by my mistakes. Oh let's get back before Serena leaves."
"Good idea." They walked back out and saw that Serena was on the phone. They over heard her, "Auntie! I know, I know, I know! Look I'm going to leave for rehearsal soon, as Darien gets back. I can't leave without saying good bye. I don't want him to think that I'm rude or anything like that..." Darien placed the mug in front of her and sat back down on the stool. Andrew saw that a few new costumers came in and walked over to their table to ask for their orders.
"Sorry about that, but I believe that I do need to go. I have some last minute thing. So I've got to run, thanks for the coffee and tell Andrew that I said good bye." Just after that Serena left.
Actually, Serena wasn't leaving for any kind of rehearsal, but she did called Luna to talk to her and make it look like she needed to go, she really didn't want to be anywhere near Darien, there was something about him that just make Serena unravel. Not only that, but it seemed like he was scheming something and she didn't like the sound of it. So she left.
She drove back home and decided to go take a bath and relax. She felt really stressed about modeling, the practices and the filling in's for people if they drop out of shows; and what to do if things didn't work out as well as she hoped it would go at school. Since Lita found out that she was a model, and Mina has numerous times had almost slipped out her secret, by calling her by her full name, not only that, but it seemed that Darien had also caught on to her real identity. Plus she had to talk to Amy's parents about allowing Amy to go to school with her, without trying to upset her parents. But she really missed her parents back in London, and her friends, especially her brother who was her best friend. Serena was going through a lot of emotions and just wanted to take a break for a few days, but couldn't. It was a lot for one 17 year old to deal with. Once she was home and finished with her soothing bath, she went straight to bed. She was just too tired to think or do anything else. She put on a pair of light gray boxer shorts and a black tank top and climbed straight into bed, and again fell asleep once her head touched the pillow.
