Serena's P.O.V
:sigh: I rolled over in bed and looked at my alarm clock. 6:00. Oh my stomach hurts so much. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten so much last night…Might as well get up. I sat up and massaged my aching neck. I looked myself in the mirror and saw dark eyes looking right back at me. It's been a week sense Darien…sense we…lost contact with each other. Every morning it's the same. I would get up before anybody else, sometimes leave when my mom was just starting to make breakfast. I didn't want to talk to anyone so I would get up early and get out before any one saw me. When I arrived at school there would only be a few people sitting around talking. I would go into my class and sit and read a text book.
If I weren't in such a bad mood I would laugh out loud at the way Miss. H and Amy looked at me when they first saw me. After the third day they started getting concerned and asked me how everything was at home. I would always lie and say fine. In case you're wondering: no, Amy doesn't know about Darien and me. I haven't told the girls anything. I know that they're my best friends but I didn't think they would understand me. They would just try to kill Darien.
I stood up and looked in my closet for today's uniform. I pulled the short sleeved shirt over my head and pulled on my blue skirt. I walked over to my full length mirror and looked myself over. Maybe he broke up with me because I'm fat. I have been eating an awful lot lately. I sighed and sat down to do my hair. Maybe it's my hair he doesn't like. He always used to tease me about my "meatballs". I brushed my hair and ridded it of tangles.
I sat there for a while trying out new hair styles. I always liked up styles better so I decide on a high ponytail on the top of my head. Funny, my hair feels a lot thicker when it's one instead of two. It still reaches to the top of my knees but it tickles more then usual. It feels odd. Heavier then usual…like my heart.
I get up and collect my school stuff. As I walk down the stairs, I think about how clumsy I am sometimes. Maybe that's another reason we broke apart. Maybe he was tired of catching me and have me land on him every time I had a klutz attack. I should try to be more graceful like the Raye or Lita on ice. I sat down on the bottom of the stairs putting on my marry Jane's. I got up and walk out the door without breakfast. 'From now on I'm on a strict diet.' I think to myself. As I close the door behind me I hear my mom call my name with concern in her tone.

Darien's P.O.V
I take another sip of my black coffee and stare off into the distance. I have always liked black coffee but when I started going out with Serena I let her talk me into drinking hot chocolate instead. Now I'm back to my usual black coffee. Funny. It tastes bitterer then I remember. I look down at my watch and see it's 5. Time for my morning jog. I drink the last of my coffee in a giant gulp, try to ignore the bitter taste and grab my keys. As usual I take the stairs during my morning jog. You could call it a sort of warm up. I take my usual rout around the block then head to the park. As I jogged down the park's path, I see a little girl with pink hair walking around.
As I got closer to her I called out her name. "Rini! What are you doing out so early and all by yourself?" I ask as I jog in place. She didn't look at me for a while but when she finally did, I saw hate all over her face. I stopped my jogging and look at her closely. She looks close to tears.
"What's wrong?" I ask again, determined to get an answer. She narrowed her eyes and then mumbled something. "What did you say?" I ask getting down to her height.
"I said…I HATE YOU!" This totally took me by surprise. She hates me? Why?
"Wha-"
"I HATE YOU FOR MAKING SERENA SAD!" she yelled out loud, interrupting my question. "THANKS TO YOU, SHE KEEPS MOPING AROUND THE HOUSE AND SHE HASN'T EVEN TOLD THE GIRLS YOU GUYS BROKE UP CAUSE SHE AFRAID THAT THEY'LL KILL YOU! SHE WON'T EVEN ARGUE WITH ME OVER THE LAST COOKIE ANYMORE! AND YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE? I'VE SEEN HER SNEAK DOWN AT NIGHT AND STUFF HER FACE FULL OF ANYTHING SHE FINDS AND LUNA IS WITH HER TRYING TO STOP HER BUT ALL SERENA DOES IS KEEP EATING AND SAYING THAT IT DOESN'T MATTER IF SHE GETS SICK CAUSE ALL SHE WANTS IS YOU!" Then she took off running without saying anything else.
I don't know how long I stayed like that but I know it was a long time. When I finally got up I could feel tears threatening to fall. Now they both hate me. What was a guy to do. I slowly walked over to the rose garden taking in all of what Rini said um…yelled. I knew that this would make her feel depressed but I didn't think it would get Rini too. I was hoping that I could count on her for support and maybe share the secret of why I broke up with Serena. I thought I could tell her about this horrible dream I have been having. That awful dream that started just when I thought I couldn't be happier. It might be a stupid reason to break up with someone over a dream but you have no idea what kind of dreams I have. Before I started to date Serena I would dream of my princess and I was pleased when I found out it was Serena. Shocked but pleased.
The girl I had a thing for was my princess. But in this dream, when my princess and I were about to get married all of a sudden everything fell apart. Then there was this awfully familiar voice saying to stay away from Serena or something will happen to her. When I reached the rose garden I took a seat on a bench that Serena and I always shared. It was our special place. :sigh: Now Serena might get sick from eating all because of me. I need to tell someone. But who?
I'm sure what Rini said about the girls killing me is true so I can't tell them…Andrew has always been a good friend. Maybe I can tell him and sense he is a close friend of Serena's maybe he can keep my posted on how she is. That's a great idea! I whipped the tear that managed to escape my eyes and headed towards the arcade.

SERENA'S P.O.V
I walked down the street. Actually it was more like dragging. What's the pint of running if I'm early and I won't be able to see Darien? I've been avoiding him all week and plan to keep avoiding him. I'm sure he's avoiding me too so I really don't have to try very hard. I look up for a second and see that I'm half way to school which means I should see the arcade in a few minutes.
I wonder what Darien is doing right now. Maybe he's still sleeping…doubt it. He was always a morning person. Maybe he's getting ready to go to work. I wonder if he's thinking about me. Does he think of me as much as I think of him? I know I shouldn't but I can't help myself. Everywhere I go I think of him. Every night I would look at the sky and think of how much it reminds me of his eyes. Those Georges eyes I always find myself losing reality in.
I look up again and made sure I didn't pass the corner I usually cross the street in. What I saw shocked me and made my heart flutter. It was Darien! I should have known. Before when he forgot who I was I remember seeing him jogging early in the morning. I guess it is pretty early. Maybe Amy is just getting up.
I watched as Darien's eyes got full of…I don't know what they got full of but he was looking right at me. Maybe it was anger or disgust I saw. As he got closer I realized that it wasn't anger or disgust. His eyes were full of sadness and longing and…something else. Was it love? He looks like he always did when he would look at me, take me into his arms and kiss me passionaly. Oh how I wish I could run up to him and wrap my arms around his neck and make him weak at the knees. I close my eyes and face down to the floor. Oh I remember those fun times we had. And how hard we tried not to let things get pass kissing. I remember how red his face was when he "accidentally" brushed his fingers against the top of my breast. Of course it wasn't an accident but he doesn't know that. It was so fun teasing him about it.
I looked up again and saw that he was only a few yards away from me. I forced my self to walk pass him without looking at him and whispered something so softly even I couldn't hear it. I saw him from the corner of my eye look at me and then look back. Was it my imagination? I decided to ignore it and keep walking. At that moment I made up my mind. I was going to get Darien back no matter what it took!

Darien's P.O.V
As I walked down the street still thinking about Serena I saw someone's small form up in front of me. The figure looked at me and just stopped. As I got closer I saw it was Serena. I could feel my heart get heavy and remember what Rini told me this morning in the park. She does look a little pale. Has she been eating right? Oh how I miss you Meatball Head! I just want to forget about that stupid dream, run over to you and kiss the breath out of you and keep you here all day not having to worry about work or school. Wait what time is it?
I look down at my watch and saw it was 6:30. Odd I usually see her around 7:50 trying to run to school before the 8 o clock bell. I got closer and she suddenly looked down. Is she thinking of a way to avoid me? Is she thinking of crossing the street just to get away from me?
Well she's not getting away from me that easy. I might have to stay away from her but that doesn't mean that I can't be near her. Wait-well you all know what I mean. I started walking faster toward her when she looked up. She stood still for a moment and then started walking forward. I could feel my heart beet faster and faster. I could almost fell her arms around me like when she use to get all exited just by seeing me and would run over to me almost knocking me down.
As I passed her I heard her whisper something. Maybe it was my imagination or something but it sounded a lot like "I still love you". I looked at her for a second and was shocked. She kept walking but I stopped right there and then. What happened to her hair! What has she done to my meatballs? Sure, she might be the one that wears them but I'm the one that enjoys playing with them so much. What is going through her head? What's next? Cutting her hair to her shoulders, wearing sexy little dresses and standing at the corner?
Ok maybe I'm over reacting but still…."Hey Darien!" I turn to my right and see Andrew waiving at me. Well time for that talk.
"Hey, Drew," I said as I sat down

Thanks to everyone who reviewed this story and thanks for your helpful suggestions! Ok tell me the truth, it stinks doesn't it:sigh: I knew I couldn't' write something like this. Well what ya think? Still need ideas for this story. I don't even know where I'm going with this. I do know that I don't want a long fight scene. Those bore me. Ok I know I said a few different things to some of you but I'm not sure what I'm going to do. There is definitely going to be some jealousy from Darien and some new guys'. Don't worry Darien will have a little help here and there so for you all who love him as much as I do don't worry too much. I was going to make this chapter longer but I wanted to see if what you guys all thought so review please!
