Thanks to all who reviewed…. P.S. check out my new short story, My Best Friend's Date, just click on my penname and read this story. Tell me what you think. It's my first shortstory. Serena's dilema when Raye and Darien are about to go on a date.
AN: I don't own Sailor Moon, and go easy on me this is my first fanfic.
Changing Everything Ch4: Secrets aren't so secret anymoreIt was after school and Serena was in a hurry to get home. "Damn him, where is he?" she asked herself. Suddenly her phone went off, her caller ID said it was Darien. "Hello?" she answered. "Hey Babe. Sorry I can't take you home today, Coach wants me and Andrew to stay after to talk about some new plays. Anyways, were going to a party at Andrews Saturday night. Later Babe."
Before she could protest he hung up on her. She couldn't go, she had other plans. Either Darien would get mad at her for her canceling, or she would miss opening night for the play she was in. And that wouldn't be too good since she was Cinderella, in… well Cinderella. Oh well, Darien wouldn't miss her because he had Beryl! Even thinking about Beryl made her blood boil. Since it was in Darien's nature to flirt, why couldn't she? Never had she done it before in their relationship, but she was ready for war.
Seeing as she didn't have a ride home she called her mom to pick her up, so she was going to have to spend another 45 minutes at school. To pass by time she started on her homework. When she finished with her pre-calculus and English homework (AN: Yes they do get homework on the first day of school) she threw away the evidence of her being smart. She was going to have to redo it, and only get about 3 or 4 questions right. It was so depressing for her to never get to be who she really was. Or live up to her full potential. At least it took up 30 minutes of waiting time. Now she had only 15 minutes to kill.
She looked around to see the school grounds were practically deserted. She slipped out her script she kept hidden in her backpack, in a pocket on the bottom. Just to be safe. She knew all of her lines; she just wanted to review them to get them perfect.
"What's that you reading?" She turned around to see one of the most breathtaking views, like Darien. This guy was just as handsome but with silver hair that was a little shaggy, and mesmerizing hazel eyes. Serena was sure she never seen this guy before. And…OMG… he just say the script in her hands. Her life could be over.
"Oh. Cinderella. That's the show they are putting on at the Down Town Tokyo theatre. Are you in it?"
Serena woke up out of her shock and shook her head. "It's a friends," she whispered. "
"Oh, sorry to be so rude. I'm Diamond, the new guy."
"I'm Serena… the… well I'm not sure." They both laughed.
Serena's Mom's red Volkswagen caught her eye. "Well, that's my mom. I got to go. See you around."
"I plan on it." He said with a smirk. "And if you ever need a ride home, I'll be free to give you one."
Serena just smiled and waved as her mom pulled out of sight. The rest of the week was disappointing. She didn't see Diamond around, and Darien seemed to be ditching her a lot. Her snotty friends were the same. And she has barely spoken to Amy, and she could really use a friend right now.
She decided to ditch clubbing night with the girls on Friday; she decided to have a traditional slumber party with Amy. She hasn't had one since…ever. Any time her group crashed at one another's place was from too much partying.
Serena was excited. Amy was coming over soon. She had out pizza, a pile of movies, and some old games to play. The main phone started to ring and she picked it up assuming it was Amy. "Hey girl where are you?"
"Um… Serena, are you expecting one of the girls to call?" asked a husky voice on the other line.
Crap, Serena thought to herself. "Yeah, sorry Darien. What do you need?"
"Nothing I was just calling to tell you I'm picking you up at 9 to take you to the party."
Serena wanted to smack herself in the head. She forgot to tell Darien. Oh well, she would just break the news to him now.
"I can't go."
"Great I'll see you- wait what?"
"I .CAN. NOT… go."
"Why not?" he asked being stubborn as always.
"Just go with Beryl, okay?"
"No not okay. Is this about Beryl?"
"No I made other plans before."
"Look Serena, babe, come on…"
"Sorry Darien!" she was so done with his conversation, she just hung up on him.
Then the doorbell rang. She put a smug smile on her face as she thought, perfect timing.
That night her and Amy had lots of fun with the game, movies, and telling stories. She knew they were going to become Best Friends. But Saturday was all about her, as she was getting ready for her performance. She had a total of 3 calls from Darien that day, for all she cared he could just get over himself.
By 4 o'clock she drove off to the theatre. Little did she know was that a red convertible was following her, but it wasn't close enough to be obvious.
In that red convertible was none other then the infamous Darien Shields. He was sick of Serena always ditching him for previous plans. He dealt with this for 3 stinking years, and this year he was no longer taking it. He finally was going to follow her to see what she was up to. Darien had been waiting since noon, it all paid off when she left at 4.
Finally the chase was over as he eyed her pulling into the Down Town Tokyo Theatre parking lot; he forgot they were showing Cinderella tonight. He couldn't believe that she would ditch him to see a stupid play. I mean come on he thought to himself, Andrews Party's were legendary. After this Snore Ville performance was over he was sure going to give her an earful.
Luckily he had his wallet with him to pay for the performance, but seeing as the show didn't start to 7 he decided to grab something to eat. Then it hit him, why would Serena be here this early? Surely she wasn't in the show. I mean come on it is Serena were talking about he told himself. She probably just wanted to wait by the door to be the first in to get a good seat. What a loser he laughed.
When time had passed and the show was ready to start he was ready and waiting in the audience. He didn't see Serena when he came in, but he was sure he would see her after the show.
Suddenly the lights faded, as the stage lit up. A fairy walked on stage and started to narrate the story. Gradually a beautiful angel walks out who was Cinderella. When she started to speak, shock hit him like a brick wall. That was…Serena. He could recognize her voice from anywhere. Serena, ditsy, dumb blonde Serena was in this play. Not only that but the star…
AN: THE SECRET IS OUT! I think…lol I didn't particularly like this chapter. I might edit it and repost it later on. SO if you have suggestions I am all ears. But I also want some good reviews. ;-)
