Free talk: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! And no this story isn't just going to be about sex, it's about a lot more than that; however that is a main element in here. Oh and I realized the typing error a little too late but Serena never took the beer it was supposed to be stared not started. Sorry about that. Anyways enjoy 3
Never Will We Be That Wonderful: Chapter 2
"I'm sorry what?" I questioned staring at him intensely, still eyeing the beer that was pointed into my direction. He starts to laugh.
"Oh wow, I'm drunk and still winning in our little competitions, you're gullible you know that? Sure Raye is a bitch but she's a lot hotter than you!" He smiled as he started to pull his beer towards his mouth. Right about this point I am definitely feeling humiliated and stupid.
I than did something that shocked not only him but me as well; I pulled the beer he had been drinking from and took a big gulp of it. He just watched with this priceless look on his face, I couldn't really describe it seeing as it was shock, admiration, surprise and disappointment all in one.
"I'm gullible? You're the stupid one who fell for the surprised look and don't try to say I'm the one making excuses you're caught jerkface," I replied.
Still I pondered what came over me in that moment. I know that he didn't have a reply and for the first time I won the dispute, I had beaten the almighty ego himself.
"Touché " Replied Darien while taking the beer back and taking a drink. "Oh Serena when are we going to stop teasing each other so frequently?"
"But Darien don't you remember I like it," I joked, I never let this side of me out unless I'm with someone drunk or with close friends. It frightens me how open and flirty I become but at the same time I get a rush that I can't compare to any other feeling.
"I know Raye doesn't, she thinks we're flirting," He replied while laying down on the bed.
"Well maybe we are?" I answered while turning too him, stupid me how could I possibly think he could have heard that? The moment he touched the pillow he was out like a light.
"Serena? What are you doing in here with Darien?" shouted Raye as she opened the door wide.
"I…I… I thought it w..was an empty ro-" I stuttered but was cut off by her irrational self as usual.
"You thought wrong, Leave and don't ever talk to me ever again," She screamed, I quickly left the room.
If there's one thing you don't want to ever do it's to get on Raye's bad side she's a complete control freak and a little too honest for anyones likening. Everyone generally turns against you, we had been friends since the fifth grade when she moved here from California; we all thought it was neat to have someone from America to come to our school. When she came we were so sure she was a super model of some sort she was perfect in every way but her personality lacked things normal would consider important however she did have key elements: manipulation and charisma. She took to me right away and the five of us spawned on from there, I was the baby that she loved and she was the mother I feared.
"Serena where have you been?" Whined Lita as she saw me running down the stairs.
"I was resting in a bedroom sorry," I lied, I wasn't resting at all I was exchanging spit through beer and flirting shamelessly with my best friends boyfriend.
"I was looking for you, we're just going to spend the night sorry for making you bring your car," questioned Lita.
"Thanks for making me waste my gas," I replied sarcastically, I than passed Lita and walked out into the cold air of the night.
"Bye!" I called after the door had been slammed shut.
I got in my car and began to drive home, in all honesty I wasn't angry at all, in fact I was relieved. It's not like I was going to spend the night at a party even if I wanted too. I also didn't feel like waking up to a bitchy hung over Raye especially after last night. Not only would she remember what happened it would be so foggy that she would have thought she caught me naked straddling his hips.
Were best friends yet she still doesn't know me well enough to realize that, that's an impossible occurrence. I'm single, alone and used to it. Anything beyond the point of seclusion scares me I can barely even imagine what it would be like to have someone tell me they love me above anyone else. I am alone…
The Next Day…
I could hear my cell phone ringing but I was so tired that the thought of actually picking it up didn't excite me. I knew who it was, I knew what they were going to say and if I picked up the phone within seconds I would be praying to go deaf. I than heard the twist of the door knob and there was my mother standing there holding towels she than reached down and picked up the cell phone.
"For God's sake Serena pick up the phone, it's been annoying us for the last 20 minutes!" said my mother as she answered it.
"Hello, this is Mrs. Tuskino," she said politely, she always was a very classy lady.
"She is just a moment please," she than tossed the phone at me and I tucked it beside my ear.
"Hello, Serena speaking," I yawned and cringed awaiting a loud shriek.
"You and I need to talk," came a masculine voice, not the screaming girl voice I was expecting.
"Who is this?" I questioned groggily.
"Darien, what other guys do you know?" He said in a serious tone, even though what he said was a joke.
"What do you need to talk about?" I asked looking across the room at my clock, it was 11:30 in the morning.
"Raye thinks I slept with you last night, she was drunk and stupid I don't even remember seeing you can you please phone her and tell her what happened," He explained exhaustingly.
"Nothing happened, I walked into a bedroom that you happened to be sitting in alone and we started to talk than you passed out," I exclaimed.
"Serena I don't need a play by play just tell Raye!" He replied and hung up the phone, he always was a man of few words.
I dialed number 2, my speed dial on my phone.
"Raye, it's Serena. Look nothing happened last night I walked into a vacant bedroom, well at least I thought it was vacant but than I saw Darien and we talked for a few minutes before he fell onto the bed and passed out and right after that happened you came in the room," I explained. I could hear sobbing through the receiver, she'll either scream at me some more or believe me.
"That's all that happened? You promise?" She whined through little gasps of breath, would it surprise you to learn that she's won best actress at our schools "Oscars" two years in a row now?
"Yes that's all that happened, I would tell you the truth if I had done something like that, besides you should know me better I'm not having sex at this point in my life let alone with my best friends boyfriend." I said than yawned again.
"Okay, I believe you and you're right you are not someone who should have sex, see ya on Monday," and with that she hung up the phone.
A disaster avoided with some quick smooth talking, why do I feel guilty? Nothing did happen, not like I didn't think about it but it didn't happen. I sometimes think people look at me like I'm some sort of nymphomaniac, ironically this isn't the first accusation I've gotten. No one else gets blamed it's always me, I must be doing something wrong. Perhaps I should become a nymphomaniac than the rumors would become true and Raye would definitely hate me.
I feel controlled by her sometimes however her comment about me "not being someone who should have sex" irritates
me, it adds to the controlling feeling it almost makes me wish I had of slept with Darien. The attraction is definitelythere,
being that it's one sided would bug me though he said it last night
Raye is a lot hotter than me, besides she put out the moment they first
started dating and that's considered a satisfactory girlfriend not
someone who creates mystery and makes him work for it. I don't
understand how Darien never gets coined as a slut, but Raye is labeled
as "easy" and he's slept with so many more women than she has men.
Monday at school…
I walked through the front doors of the school, watching all the faces. High school was always seems like everyone is famous; people gossip about people, know all your inner secrets because someone blabbed and there's always fights in Hollywood right? Speaking of fights, Raye was leaning her back against a locker while Darien stood there waving his hands about in commotion if I'm correct they're fighting. How do couples stay together when they fight so often?
"No you listen! First I think you slept with my best friend but now you're accusing me of sleeping with some random guy? You're the only one Darien I've ever fucked!" shouted Raye. If this was me in this situation I would certainly not be yelling who I've 'fucked' and who I haven't.
"Look whatever," answered Darien while turning down the hallway.
"This is always how you end conversations it doesn't make the problem go away it just makes it worse!" screamed Raye, I could see that she was crying at this point which would be where I come in to make her feel better.
"Raye what's wrong?" I questioned even though I was fully aware of their recent spat.
"Darien accused me of sleeping with some guy at the party!" she whined which was followed by a sniff.
"Why would he accuse you of that?" I asked, again playing ignorant seeing as he told me that 'she's probably fucking some guy in another room' or something like that…
"Because he's a conceited asshole! He never does anything wrong and I'm always the problem in our relationship…" She said in a sarcastic tone.
"You know that's not true Raye, maybe he just needs to calm down after all we are a small school and rumors spread quickly even untrue ones," I responded. Please break up please break up, that's all I could think as I watched her sob.
"You're right, I'll just have to go tell him it was all a mix up." She smiled weakly than followed his footsteps down the hallway, without a thank you good bye or anything. I always was the 'dear Abby' of my friends and I don't exactly know how I got this title; but I don't recommend being dear Abby to anybody for you're always left in the dust after you give them what you want and you have to sacrifice your own wants and needs for everyone else's.
"Serena!" I heard a male voice shout from down the hallway. It was Chad, a guy who lived with Raye's grandfather as an apprentice to his temple.
"Look I've been thinking and, well what are you doing this Friday?" questioned Chad looking a little pink in the face.
"Nothing, why?" I questioned, was he asking me out or am I over estimating again.
"Well there's this really cool restaurant opening up called "Kaba" it sounds pretty neat, I was wondering if you would like to go with me on a date?" He questioned his face turning even more crimson.
"Sure that would be fine, what kind of food do they serve before I agree to everything?" I questioned happily, I was actually happy he was know Darien but Chad was a really good looking guy plus he's actually kind to me.
"Oh really? Awesome I'll pick you up at how about six thirty?" He asked the color returning to his face. I giggled out loud watching his expression turn to relief from embarrassment.
"Sounds good, want to walk with me to our next class?" I asked while heading towards biology.
"Ya, I never got those last…." He trailed on about his biology homework but of course I dazed off but gave the satisfactory 'hmm' and 'I didn't get it either'. I am capable of paying attention but I generally choose not to, my own thoughts interest me too much I guess. I felt eyes staring at me from somewhere but I couldn't quite pin point it and when I turned around all I could see were these dark blue pools glaring at me, they were Darien's eyes.
Friday Morning…
"What's this Serena not even planning on telling your best girls that you're going on a date with the eligible Chad?" questioned Lita as she cornered me in the hallway with the other three.
"I didn't feel the need to," I replied while putting my books away in the top shelf of my locker.
"You didn't feel the need? Serena what if you decided to go on a date with someone who was a loser? Who made us look bad?" shouted Raye in horror. She was so rude all the time, making others feel bad about themselves, I mean think of how many people heard what she just said and right now at this very moment they're probably thinking does she see me as a loser? Unwanted is a horrible feeling and she just made at least 30 people self-consciously question themselves.
"Why would it matter if I was dating some loser?" I shot back glaring in embarrassment.
"It would matter for your sake," she replied that's when Minako stepped in.
"Back off Raye, you know that you can't shut Serena out you wouldn't win that fight too many people would be pissed with you," answered Minako.
"humph," Raye noised as she smiled slightly. "You mean you would make other people get pissed so they would convince me to let her back in,"
"So what if I did? It would work," smiled Minako.
"Just shut up okay? I'm going on a date with Chad who you all like if I recall so let's just drop this subject," I replied, I just stopped one of the biggest cat fights that would begin.
"Touché " whispered Amy too me as we began to walk down the hallway together. Unlike in movies when we walked down the hallway no one parted for us, not one told anyone to 'move' we did it the old fashion way, pushed.
That night…
6:pm, the clock read as I laid there on my bed naked staring at the ceiling, cloths a strewn all around my room. I couldn't help it there was nothing in my room to wear. I heard a knock on my bedroom door and my mom opened it a jar and than I heard a shriek.
"Yes I'm naked," I said rolling my eyes as I heard the door slam shut.
"Serena why are you naked? Is there a boy somewhere hidden in there?" She asked panicky.
"No mom he's not here yet, I can't find anything to wear! I don't even know what panties and bras I should wear!" I whined, now I was being the drama queen. I heard the door open slightly and my mom threw some underwear at me.
"These are cute and please put something on if you intend me to help you," she said. Great, a date my mother feels the need to dress me on.
"I don't need your help, I was merely explaining my frustration," I explained, the panties and bra were cute though. She than opened the door and set down a laundry basket.
"Okay I won't help you but I suggest that you actually get up and get dressed if you're going on a date its almost six thirty!" nagged my mom. I slowly raised out of my bed and picked up a pair of jeans I had thrown on the ground, they were my favorite they accented my curves. I was never a very curvy girl I had small ones that barely even showed to my dismay I was too thin, not that I was complaining about that but sometimes I ran into trouble with it.
I than grabbed a tight plaid button up shirt and slipped it on and swiftly did up the buttons. As I just finished doing up the last button the door bell rang and my mother called me downstairs.
"Chad?" I questioned only to turn to see Darien standing at my door, alone.
"We need to talk alone," He explained eyeing my mom.
"Are you Chad?" Asked my mother ignorantly.
"No I'm Darien Chiba it's nice to meet you Mrs. Tuskino," Said Darien extending his hand to my mom.
"Oh nice to meet you," She smiled sweetly than continued to the kitchen.
"What do you need to talk to me about? Chad will be here any minute now you know that!" I shot at him a little confused as to why he was here.
"That's what I need to talk to you about, look Chad doesn't really like you he just wants to get in your pants," whispered Darien into my ear.
"What are you talking about? Chad is a pussy cat!" I exclaimed in disbelief.
"No pussy hunter is more like it, he's not a virgin you know that? He's known by like all the guys as the biggest slut ever," explained Darien.
"Even if he was why do you care? Isn't this what you want me to get laid?" I shot back. He didn't answer just stared at me in an almost glare now.
"I don't want you to get laid by some ass hole Serena I want you to have sex with whoever you feel right doing it with," He explained turning his head away, was that a remorse in his eye? Nope.
"I think you're very wrong about Chad, so if you'll excuse me please leave," I said while opening the door behind him so he could leave.
"I'm not leaving," he replied and stood firmly in place at my door step.
