A Love Affair

Chapter 1

"Serena! Where are you?" Serena's friends, Rei, Mina, Lita, And Ami yelled. They were looking for her when she didn't show up for their weekly slumber party. Serena never missed the party, so they were really worried.

While walking, they came across Kristina. Kristina is as tall as Lita, with ruby-red ankle length hair. She was still in her school uniform.

"Hi Kristina. What are you doing here?" Ami asked.

"Hi Ami," Kristina replied, "I was just on my way to the mall. What are you guys doing?"

"Oh, just looking for Serena. Have you seen..." Ami started

"When I find that fucking Meastball Head, I'm going to kick her fucking ass from here to next fucking Friday!" Rei yelled.

Everyone in the group looked at her, staring

"Just ignore her. She's in a bad mood." Lita said.

"You were saying Ami." Kristina said.

"Oh yes, have you seen Serena?"

" Yeah, the last time I saw her, she was running out of the Arcade, crying. She and some guy got into a pissing contest."

"Oh really? The guy she got into the fight with didn't happen to have jet black hair, dark blue eyes, and the body of a god now would he?" Mina asked.

"Yeah that's the guy. How'd you know?"

"She gets into a fight with Darien all the time. We figured as much." Lita said.

"Oh okay." Kristina said, "Well I'll talk to you guys later. Got to go before the mall closes. See ya."

With that she left the four scouts standing in the middle of the sidewalk, trying to calm a very pissed Rei.

Why is Serena crying?. Darien thought, .If anyone has hurt her I swear to God I will hunt them down and kill them. With that thought Darien walked over to the bench.

"Hey Meatball Head. Can I sit down?" he asked

"What?" She lifted her head to see who was standing in front of her.

"Oh, its you. What do you want, Darien? Haven't you insulted me enough today? And don't call me Meatball Head!" she snapped.

Darien was taken aback. He was the reason she was crying. .I'm so sorry, my love. Darien sat down on the bench. He tried to think of something to say but couldn't think of anything.Finally he asked, "Why are you crying?"

Serena stared at the ground for a second. .Why does he care? Does he not think what he said hurt me?. she thought, .Could he really care?. She turned her head slowly to look at him. What she saw in his eyes nearly sent her into his arms. She thought for sure she would see a glint in his eyes where he was making fun of her, but all she saw was tenderness.

"Darien, I really don't want to talk to you about this. You'll just make fun of me some more." she said.

"I would never do that, Serena," he said. "I'm really sorry about what I said at the Arcade. I really didn't mean it."

"Yes you did Darien. You meant every word you said. Yeah, I may get bad grades, but you don't have to rub it in. You probably didn't hear that I got a B on my last Math test. So I'm not very good at school, so what. To you I'm just some puny kid. Well, guess what. I'm not a kid any more. I'm 16 years old. I'm not the 'kid' I was three years ago. I've grown up, sort of." she said with out looking at him.

"Serena, I..." Darien started before he was interrupted.

"Serena is this guy bothering you?" Bryan, a classmate, asked. "Cause if he is, my brother Ryan, and I will take care of him."

Bryan and Ryan are twins, with brown hair, green eyes, and very nice bodies. Tonight they were with Rosa and Roxy, another set of twins. Rosa and Roxy have red hair and blue eyes. They are all about the same height as Serena.

"No, everything is ok, thanks for looking out for me. Oh, don't forget the test in computers tomorrow," Serena said, trying to smile.

"Ok, but if you need us, we'll be at the playground," Ryan said glaring at Darien.

"Thanks, but does anyone know what time it is?" Serena asked.

"Oh, it's about 8 p.m.," Darien kindly said. He was trying to make up for making her cry.

"Oh shit, are you sure, 'cause I'm late to the slumber party at Lita's. Damn it!" Serena yelled, and then took off running.

So what do you think? Did we do good or bad? R&R please
