Chapter Five

"RAYE! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" Yelled Serena, that was charging through the door, finding Raye just reading a magazine on the couch. Raye had a sudden bolt in her body; she got up instantly, and was running away from the raging Serena. Serena was trying to chase her, but, Raye let out her confusion. They were at both ends of the couch.

"WHAT IS GOING ON!" Raye screamed, releasing her bewilderment. Serena was on the other side of the couch and said,

"WHY? Of all people, WHY did you ask Andrew if I could stay with them, hm?" Her face was beginning to turn red from her anger.

"First of all, We are close friends with Andrew! Second, Ami is on the very bottom floor, and Andrew lives on the same floor as we do. If you forget something, you can just come back and get it, got that? And finally, hmm…." Raye said, almost diminishing her words.

"What? Ugh, you and Darien are always leaving me a cliff hanger in your sentences!" Serena said stubbornly.

"Shut up, I just forgot what my last reason was! Oh right, now I remember! Okay, since you got the part of Snow White, you can rehearse with Darien! And then, when you two do scenes together, it will look so p-e-r-f-e-c-t. How does that sound?" Raye said, still trying to persuade her into sharing the same room with them.

"Ugh! I honestly think that I'm just going to drop out of the play tomorrow! I have my darn reasons, and I don't want to discuss it right now. Plus, it's getting late so, I'm going to go to bed. I'm not really mad at you, but my feelings are getting there." Said Serena, stomping off into her bedroom, and slamming the door completely shut.

"Geez, talk about grumpy…" Said Raye, trying to whisper.

"I HEARD THAT!" Yelled Serena. She just felt so odd that she was going to stay with one of her best friends, and a complete stranger for two or more weeks. How long is Raye's boyfriend going to be there? She hoped that it wouldn't be that long of course.

She set out her blankets on the floor. Serena is the kind of person that doesn't really like to sleep on beds that often. It just had a certain feeling that would make her back ache. It usually depends on what her mood is. Growing up, she urged her parents; not to get a bed for her when she already had the floor to sleep on.


It's finally Monday.

Intercom: "Whoever is involved with the play of Snow White, or you at least auditioned for a part, please come to the Drama Room right after your class so you know who got the roll of all the characters."

Serena sighed deeply, knowing that Darien was going to know who got the part of the princess. She kept flicking her pencil against her desk. She wasn't that sure if she wanted to show up after school or not. Maybe, if she showed up, she would ask to resign her part. She finally dropped her pencil, buried her face in her hands to finalize what she was going to do by the time the bell would ring.

Ring!

Her head shot up immediately, and her hands were a bit moist. She gathered her books and such, and exited out of the classroom. Serena tried to walk hurriedly to the front doors so she wouldn't participate in the meeting that they were having. By the time she tried to reach for that door, a women grabbed her arm.

"Excuse me, where do you think you are going?" Said the women, still holding onto her arm gently.

Oh crap. "Well--" She said, sounding a bit frightened from the sudden movement.

"Okay, no need to explain. Just come by the Drama room, it won't take very long!" The women was still holding onto her arm, and began to lead her the way to the drama room.

The drama teacher was the first person to see her talent for acting (besides the girls) and yes, that was her. The teacher, the girls, and Andrew were the only one who knew that she received the part.


They both arrived in the room in time, and Serena kept her head low. The room was filled so many people, she couldn't even tell if Darien was there. She spotted someone from afar, and it was very clear. Beryl. Serena just felt like leaving right away, and she always started to look in opposite directions if someone looked at her in the eye. She didn't want people to be upset that they didn't receive the part that they auditioned for.

"Quiet down please," The teacher began, "Okay, whoever auditioned for the part of Snow White, please raise your hand."

Serena didn't even bother to raise up her hand. She noticed that Raye, Mina, and Ami weren't there. She was pretty sure that she knew why though. She sat down on the chair that was right in front of her, and she still kept her head low, not wanting to be noticed by other people, especially by Darien. He didn't even know that she had auditioned for Snow White anyway. Serena crossed her arms, and was sitting down in a slump position.

"Wow, I never noticed that there wasn't a lot of people who auditioned for Snow White." The teacher said surprisingly.

"Well, we pretty much already knew who had gotten the part anyway! 'Cough', Beryl." Said a student from in the crowd.

"Well then, I'll just have to break it down slowly. I'm just going to say who were the top five people, and I'm sorry if any feelings are hurt," The crowd was getting a little boisterous, "Okay, here are the top six people. Raye Hino, Mina Aino, Ami Mizuno, Beryl Sugimoto and…" She paused.

Serena squinted her eyes, knowing that her name was going to be called next.

"And… last but not least, Serena Tsukino. Okay, the people who weren't called, please leave this room in an orderly fashion. Thank you very much for participating." (A/N: I just had to think of last names for them all, even though their first names are English. I just chose one for Beryl, as you can tell.)

Serena was surprised that there was not a lot of people that auditioned for Snow White. The college had around two thousand people, and only fifteen to twenty-five people auditioned, surprisingly. She thought that there could have been a lot more. The girls left the room, not really surprised that they didn't receive the part. Of all the years Beryl has been at the college, she has received all the main rolls in every single play that they had. Well, we all know that that is going to change this year, right?

The teacher did the exact same thing all the other main rolls. The witch, and especially the prince. She listed all the top five people for them as well. Now, the room was just bare. When she named the dwarfs, there was no top five or anything. Some people just had the exact personality for the dwarfs so, she just gave them the part.

The only people that were there for Snow White was Beryl, and Serena. So, it was pretty much the top two people. The teacher narrowed it down to two people for the prince. She had already announced who received the part of the witch. So, that women also left too.

There was only four people left in the room. The teacher was going to finally announce who got the part of the Prince, and Snow White.

Darien just realized that he saw Serena from across the room. He had no idea that Serena would try out for Snow White. This could be interesting, right? It would be so weird too. Having Snow White and Prince Charming in the same dorm? That is odd.

He walked up to her, kneeled down, and looked up at the girl who kept her head low.

"Hey Serena… I didn't know that you auditioned for Snow White." He said gently.

She sustained to keep looking down. He obviously knew that she was trying to ignore him. Was she feeling alright? I'll just talk to her after this is over. I can cheer her up! He thought to himself. He got up, and went across the room.

"Okay, you guys can sit down you know," Beryl, Darien, and the other guy sat down. Serena didn't need to, since she already was. "You guys ready?"

Everyone let out a sigh.

"I'll start with Prince Charming first. Okay… the person who got the part of Prince Charming is… Darien Chiba."

Darien Chiba

Darien Chiba

Darien Chiba was ringing in Serena's head like a bell. She continued to keep her head low from the name she just heard a second ago.

Darien shook hands with the other guy who auditioned for the Prince, and the guy said, "Good job man." And with that, he left the room.

Beryl got off her chair, ran towards him, and started to hug him tightly. She whispered to him, "If I get the part, which I know I will, I can get you back…" She said, as she rested her head on his chest. But, Darien pushed her away softly,

"No Beryl. No…" He walked away, and sat back down on the chair that was across from Serena. He still kept an eye on her, wondering why she was so down. Wasn't this supposed to be a happy moment?

"Beryl, can you please sit down while I announce who has the part of Snow White?" The teacher demanded. Beryl sat one chair away from Serena. Beryl just despises her so much, you wouldn't even know.

The teacher pushed her glasses closer to the bridge of her nose and began to say, "Okay you guys… this is it. It might not be that much of a surprise to you but, maybe it will," She winked at Serena but, Beryl didn't notice.

"The person who got the part of Snow White is… Serena Tsukino!"

"WHAT!" Beryl burst out, and stood up immediately. She was just so surprised that she didn't get it! Of all the years she has been at college, she has always gotten every lead part in every play! Now it changed?

Darien's head shot up at the fact that Serena got the part. He gave her a confusing look.

"Congratulations to you all, you deserved it." She smiled, and went back to her desk, knowing that this was going to be the best play/musical of all time.

"But, this has to be a mistake! I should have gotten it, and you know it!" Beryl screamed at the teacher.

"Well --"

"She is right, it is a mistake." Serena began, and everyone looked at her confusingly. Serena stood up, not wanting to show her face at anyone, and she picked up her book bag, rushed out the door, and slammed it behind her.

"Wait, Serena!" Darien got up, and started to run after her. He saw her, and raced his hardest to run to her before she would exit the door. But, before she could twist the doorknob, he was right behind her, put his hand on her shoulder, and forced her to turn around to look at him.

"Serena, why are you being like this?" Both of his hands were on her shoulders with lots of weight so, she would not escape out of his grasp.

"I knew I shouldn't have auditioned for Snow White. Beryl is really competitive and, if she sees me with you, she'll start a huge fight!" She said, not trying to look at him in the eye.

"Stop it Serena, just stop it!" Darien said, trying his best not to raise his voice, "Out of all those people, you got this part. That means, that you are the best. You are much better than Beryl, it's about time that someone showed her what a real actress looks like. You got this part, you should make good use of it. You know that you can't just quit just because you think that someone is better than you. You are wrong. Serena… just give it a chance. Don't back down."

Serena put both of her hands on his hands, and she made him let go of her shoulders from the pain.

"I… I don't know…" She said faintly.

"Try it for me then. I'm happy that you got the part, that takes a lot of confidence to try out for Snow White." He said, trying to convince her to try it.

"Fine… but then, I'm only doing it for my friends and, you I guess." She said, finally looking at him in the eye.

"Don't just do it for them and me, do it for yourself too." He grinned.

'This will be interesting.' He mumbled to himself.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Serena said, wondering if he said anything.

"Oh, it's nothing." He said, looking in the other direction.

"Uh, Darien… I'm moving in your dorm today." She said, while having butterflies in her stomach.

"Oh, right! I'll help you move your stuff in the room, okay?"

"Thank you." She smiled at him, and began to walk up the stairs to Raye's and her dorm. Darien wants me to do this. I know I can't back down now… I know I can't. No matter what Beryl does, I'll stay strong. Darien seems like a good friend and he has faith in me. I just hope that our friendship doesn't go farther than what we have now. She thought worriedly, while Darien and Serena were walking up the stairs, together.
