Chapter Two Jealousy

"Morning Sere!" Amy and Lita greeted Serena as she walked to her locker, which was next to theirs.

"Hey! Morning!" Serena said with a bright smile.

"Hey Serena!" Serena turned around and saw Jerome smiling at her.

"Hey Jero! Wassup?"

"Nothing much we've got English so I thought I'll give you a hand" He said with a smile.

"You sure but I thought I was Raye's turn cuz she's in my English class?" Serene asked.

"I don't think she'll be helping you I saw her walking to Chad's locker just before."

"AGAIN! She ditched me! Arg! She's gonna die when I get my hands around her neck!" Serena threatened making Amy, Lita and Jerome laugh.

"Sure! Sere you always say that but as soon as Raye offers you an ice-cream cone you won't remember a thing!" Lita said.

"Trust me I'll kill her this time!" Serena said trying to look determined.

"So we going don't want to be late for you know we've got Ms. Brown." Jerome interrupted.

"Oh yes please but are you sure? Cuz I'll get Amy or Lita to carry my books"

"Yep that's fine I can take them" Amy suggested.

"Nah it's cool we're in the same class after that anyway besides I'm sure some one's waiting for you!" Jerome said wiggling his eyebrows and looking behind Amy.

Amy turned around and saw Greg waiting for her, she blushed before excusing herself.

"I better go too… Um Sere you'll be fine?" Lita said as she walked to Ken.

"Yep I'll be fine…they're so lucky to have boyfriends! I wish I had one too!" Serena complained while handing her books to Jerome.

"You know you've got lots of opportunities if you wanted."

Serena turned around and looked at Jerome and saw that he was very serious suddenly Serena felt something that she didn't really want to feel. 'Mina said Jerome likes me but…'

Darien walked past and saw Serena and Jerome staring at each other. 'What are they doing?' He felt jealously but he didn't know why.

"Stop day dreaming! Meatball Head!" Darien yelled.

Serena snapped out of the trance and looked at him.

"SHUT UP! Jerk!" Serena walked up to Darien and started to run after him and trying to hit him with her crutches.

Serena ran into class gave Ms. Brown an apologetic nod before sitting next to Raye. Jerome came up and placed Serena's books in front of her. "Thanks! Jero!"

Darien then walked up next to Serena. Jerome and Darien looked at each other who was going to sit next to Serena?

"Um…" Jerome looked at Serena. Serena didn't know what to do she looked at Darien then back at Jerome.

"Hey Darien why don't you sit over here next to Chad!" Raye said with a smile.

Darien looked up at Raye then forced a smile before sitting next to Chad. Jerome gave Darien a smile before sitting down next to Serena. Serena mouthed thanks to Raye.

"No prob! Told you girl that they like you!" Raye whispered in Serena's ear.

Serena blushed.

"NOWAY! Keep your voice down!" Serena hissed.

"Is everything okay?" Jerome asked.

Serena smiled. "Yep!"

Darien looked at Serena and saw her giving Jerome a smile that he thought is was only for him. 'Why do I feel like this! I feel so so so jealous! I want to sit next to Serena! Not this idiot Jerome!' Then Darien heard Serena laughing at something Jerome said. 'I have to say something! To Serena!'

"Hey Meatball Head you done your Math homework?" Darien asked.

Serena turned around and gave Darien a smile before replying.

"Yup! I do my homework on time not like you!" Serena said sticking her tongue at Darien.

"Sure Meatball Heat sure!"

"SHUT UP! Stop calling me that! I like my hairstyle! Humph!" Serena said while turning around.

'Damn! I shouldn't have said that'

"Hey don't worry I like your hairstyle it's very unique!" Jerome said giving Serena a pat on the shoulder.

Serena blushed slightly and gave Jerome a smile.

The class went on like till the bell went.

Serena let out a sigh that she didn't know she held.

"Tired?" Jerome asked.

"Just a little and it's all because of you!"

"Me? Why me?"

"You lent me Initial D! And I was watching that till really late last night!"

Darien's head shot up and looked at Serena and Jerome talking intimately. 'why are they so close I didn't know they were so close!'

"Hey I didn't make you besides you insisted that you wanted to watch it"

"So it's still your fault!" Serena said sticking her tongue at him.

"Okay sorry it's my fault!"

"Of course it's your fault!"

Serena and Jerome looked at each other and laughed.
Darien couldn't stand it anymore he had to get out of the room.

"Hey Dar…" Raye stopped half way. "Chad where did Darien go I was going to get him to take Serena's books while we went to the canteen."
Serena turned around and saw Darien's seat empty. 'Weird he was here a few seconds a go?'

"Don't worry Raye I'll carry Serena's books if you like."

"But you carried my books before! Raye it's your turn would you stop making other people do your job!" Serena said trying to give Raye a stern look but failed when Raye gave her a puppy look.

"But if I don't make other people take your books I won't be able to go to the canteen for and so what do you want? I'll buy it for you!"

"Fine! Raye I want two chocolate doughnuts and two ice-creams and…"

"Serena you're gonna weigh 300 pounds if you eat like that!" Chad said with a smile.

"Chad what are you talking bout she already weighs 400 pounds! Hahaha!" They all laughed leaving Serena blushing like mad.

"RAYE!" Before Serena could hit Chad and Raye they ran away leaving Jerome standing there carrying her books and laughing and Serena.

"I'm don't weigh that much!" Serena complained starting to walk to her locker.

"I didn't say anything! You're not mad are you?" Jerome said following Serena.
Serena just looked back and stuck her tongue at Jerome.

Serena had to talk to a teacher and she saw Darien walking along the corridor

"Hey Darien! You seen Mr. Humphrey?" Serena asked with a smile.

Darien gave Serena a cold look then shook his head and continued walking.

'What's the matter with him? We were talking before but now he's acting all cool?'

Serena was going to call him again but he kept walking away. 'What's the matter with me why did I ignore her? I actually want to talk to her but…'

Serena talked to Mr. Humphrey and walked back to her locker when she heard a very high-pitched girls voice.

"Soooo Daaarrrrien! Are you free this weekend?" Serena looked up and saw Beryl literally throwing herself at Darien along with her friend Anne.

Darien tried pulling Beryl away from him but with no avail.

"I'm busy this weekend Beryl I've got to go…"
Beryl linked arms with Darien "But you don't have to work and you don't have to go to school soooo why not why don't we go to the movies together this weekend!" Beryl said trying to act cute which was hard because she was pretty slutty her skirt was so short you could see her thong if u kneeled a little lower.

Serena could feel herself becoming jealous that this bitch was so intimate with Darien.

"Hey Darien! I need your help can you please help me!" Serena asked with a smile.

Darien released Beryl's arm and walked to Serena.

"Sure you need help with your books right?" Darien asked.

"Yep thanks for helping!" Serena replied trying not to laugh.

They walked of together leaving Beryl scowling.

"Hey Beryl that bitch stole him off you" Anne hissed evilly.

"SHUT UP! I didn't ask for your opinion!" Beryl yelled.

'You Bitch Serena! Darien will be mine no matter what! Just you wait!'

"….Thanks for saving me before…" Darien said with a small smile.

Serena looked up and gave Darien a weird look.

"What I said thank you!"

"Nothing I just thought you were…don't worry I wasn't going to save you but I just walked past so I thought I'll be nice." Serena replied with a big smile.

"Well thanks for being so nice to me!" Darien said sarcastically.
