Thank you all for the reviews! I'm glad that you are glad that Seiya is gone. Darien and Serena finally have nothing in their way, but you never know. But they can't just have one problem to be together otherwise it would be a short story!
Beryl
A few weeks go by and everything goes back to normal. Well, almost normal. There is tension now that they've gotten closer than ever since that Seiya incident, but Darien chooses to ignore it. Serena is starting to get tired of it and can't ignore it any longer.
"Mina, I'm out. Sure Darien's showing signs of liking me, but maybe that's just how he is. I'm starting to think that it'll never happen. Plus, if it did, there are things to consider, like it could totally ruin our friendship. Oh, and the fact that he could have any girl in this school, so why hasn't he just ask me out?"
"Serena, don't give up. You know that's not true. You also know that it is a different situation between you two, so he can't just ask you out. You know him. He's too stubborn to see it right now and you know it. Sere, you guys are meant to be together. He's worth waiting for."
"No, Mina, I'm tired of waiting. There are a lot of nice guys out there that will be willing to go out with me."
"That's just it, Sere. They are 'nice' guys, but are they perfect like Darien? Are they smart, funny, charming, athletic, and drop dead gorgeous?I think not. He's perfect for you. If he wasn't I would of been after him already."
"If he is so 'perfect', then he'll understand. I'm not waiting anymore."
Darien came towards them with a redheaded girl and Serena gave Mina a what-did-I-tell-you-? look.
"Hey guys. This is Beryl. She's new and I thought I would show her around."
Mina noticed that Serena wasn't going to say anything. "Nice to meet you. I'm Mina and this is Serena," Mina said holding out her hand.
Beryl just looked at it and ignored it. Darien wasn't looking, so he didn't see that she glared at Mina and Serena.
"Darien, could you walk me to my next class?" Beryl asked sweetly.
He turned back to them. "Sure. See you guys later."
Beryl stayed a little behind. "You see, I always get what I want and I want him. He is off limits," she said and walked away.
Serena glared daggers at her back. "Yeah, we are going to be together now," she said sarcastically.
"She's just an obstacle that you have to go through. Once Darien sees right threw this girl's motives, he'll dump her. He's not even with her. He was just probably being the gentleman that he is and showing her around."
"I just wish it was as easy as you say it is. And if that's what you think than I would tell you that that would be a lie. I know Darien and I know that he suddenly just doesn't show some random girl around. Look at her, she could be any man's desire."
Soon, lunch came.
Darien sat next to Serena, but Beryl came and made room in between Serena and Darien. She was pushed so hard she fell out.
"Whoa, Serena be careful. We know you can be a klutz," Raye said laughing.
Mina knew better as to why she fell out. "Raye, I don'tthink she's that klutzy. She didn't do that on purpose," Mina whispered and nodded towards Beryl who was smothering herself onto Darien.
Raye got the picture and whispered back. "I don't like her. I'm getting some bad vibes."
Mina nodded. "I feel the same way."
Serena was getting annoyed to the fact that Darien was completely oblivious with the girl throwing herself at him. "You know what? I have a lot of things to do, so see you guys later," Serena said getting her lunch and walking way.
Darien seemed to sense that something was wrong and went after her.
"Wait, I know that excuse and remember I've used it," Darien said pulling her to stop.
"It's nothing. I really do have things to do," Serena said annoyed.
"Come on, Meatball Head, tell me."
"It's not Meatball Head, it's Serena for your information."
"What's the deal Meatball Head?"
"I told you, it's nothing!"
"Well, it doesn't seem like it."
She sighed. "I just don't like that girl."
"Why? She's nice."
She snorted. "Nice? You can, 'Stay away, he's mine. I get whatever I want', nice? She didn't even bother to shake Mina's hand."
"She never did that."
"What? Are you blind? You can't clearly seem that she is a bitch?"
"How dare you call her that?"
"You know what, fine, if you don't trust me, then I guess we aren't best friends. I also guess that you forgot the 'we can't let a little thing get between us' speech."
"I guess not," he said turning back towards their table.
"You just don't want to believe it because for once you have someone to try to make me jealous. Well, guess what? It's not happening. I'm fine. I can have any guy I want and you can too. Oh, and if you haven't noticed, she is just like all the other whores that follow you around."
He just glared at her and walked away.
I know. I know. You all hate me, but they will eventually get together. Trust me. It'll be better soon.
