Flirting
It was the first day of third year for Serena and Darien however not so good for Serena,she had the flu.Serena and Darien were together less than a year and already Serena felt herself drifting away.
Serena felt a piece of paper hit the back of her head and whirled round to see what it was. On it had a note, Serena looked around and saw a handsome boy with black hair and sparkling brown eyes she had never seen before but seen oddly familiar.
'Hi there how are you doing?'
Serena scribbled back 'Sick and yourself?'
'I am good. What's your name?'
'Serena, yours?'
'Steven.Do you know you are really beautiful?'
Serena blushed, 'No I don't really view myself that way'
'Well you should from now on.Do you have a boyfriend?'
'I am not so sure,we don't even talk anymore.I think I might break up with him.'
'Well I am interested.'
Steven and Serena talked through all their class periods and finding interest in one another. At lunch time Steven was walking Serena to where she ate her lunch when Darien called out to her.
"Serena, hey wait up."
"Oh, hey Darien." She said with mock enthusiasm. "Where are my manners,Steven this is Darien my boyfriend,Darien this is my friend Steven."
Steven suddenly looked uncomfortable, ''Yo what's up cousin?"
"Nothing much, you coming down Sunday.?"
"I aint sure ya know." 'Oh my God I was trying to steal my cousin's girl.'
"Um….you two know each other?" asked a confused Serena.
"Yea,he's my cousin." They both said.Serena felt like a fool there and then.
"Darien, you hold on to this girl here now, she's a good girl."
Darien looked at them both puzzled then nodded argeeingly.Steven pulled Serena aside and whispered in her ear, "Don't break up with him, he a good boy. Give it another go."
Serena nodded as he walked off.Serena smiled at Darien and they walked to lunch together.
Serena sat down and ate lunch with her usual friends: Amy,Rei,Mina and Leana.Someone tapped her on the shoulder, "Hey,Sere take a walk with me?"
"Yea sure,Anthony." And got up to join him.Darien glared daggers at Anthony but as usual Serena did whatever she wanted. Anthony was a fourth year and he liked Serena which Darien suspected but Serena oblivious to it.
"Serena, when are you going to dump that loser and come be with me?" Anthony said
once they were out of Darien earshot.
"Anthony, I like you better as my friend,really."
"Yea, but I like you as more than a friend." And he took hold of Serena's hand and caressed it.Darien eyes stared at the connection between the two and his blood began to boil.
"Well,I am sorry but you can either be my friend or be nothing to me."Serena started to walk away but Anthony grabbed her and pulled her into tight hug.
"Ok, I'll just be your friend then."He whispered in her ear.
"Ok, good now you just need a woman so we can both keep out of trouble."Anthony chuckled at Serena naive
Many people saw the interaction between the two since they were stand stupidly in the middle of the playing field where everyone can see.
As lunch period was over and the never ending gossip start to spend through out the third year about Anthony,Serena and Darien's love triangle.
