Book Two: The Spot Light Cries For Me

Chapter Two: Be Still My Heart

It was back to college with the four girls, staring out the car window watching the trees and buildings whip by. Two hours ago the girls had been home eating with their families, three hours from now, they would be eating in a cafeteria with their friends.

Serena watched the cars passing, 'each of them returning home from a holiday abroad' she thought. She sighed as they passed by a rest stop, seeing a young couple kissing in the parking lot. "Oh please…he's just going to leave you honey. For that ugly bitch coming out with a Panera's bagel shoved in her pie hole…"

Rei turned and looked at Serena. "My aren't we cynical?"

"I have every right to be! I'm depressed! Now give me another chocolate bar and leave me alone please!" Serena grumbled as she nibbled at her Hershey's bar.

Michelle stared at Serena, who had her face flat against the cafeteria table. "Did someone turn her into an ameba during break?"

"No, more like right before break some jerk broke her heart." Amy said rubbing Serena's back. "She's been depressed ever since. Plus she's been packing away candy bars like you wouldn't believe."

Michelle frowned "Who hurt my Rena Rena?"

Rei smirked "you wouldn't believe us if we told you."

"Try me."

Rei leaned over and whispered the story into Michelle's ear. Michelle's eyes grew large and round with each passing word. "Seriously?" Michelle looked at Serena. "Oh Rena, I'm so sorry!"

"Not as sorry as I am." Serena said looking up at Michelle. "I mean…I actually fell for him and he turns on me like that because his friend told him to. Cunts."

Michelle frowned and patted Serena's hand. "How are you going to be able to handle choir tomorrow?"

"I'll manage. I'm not going to ruin his reputation Michelle. Especially not when I'm trying to concoct a plan to get him back." Serena sat up and leaned forward.

"You see I have a genius idea on how to get Darien back…but, I'll need some help from you guys."

All four of the girls nodded. "We're Sere, you know we are!" Lita proclaimed nodding her head.

"Good. Here's my plan. I'm going to sing in the talent show. I'm going to sing the song I'm best at, and I want you guys to help." Serena said.

"Miracle?" Amy asked.

Serena nodded. "We won our last talent show with that song."

Lita chewed on her bottom lip thinking. "I think you should fly solo on that one Sere. Amy can handle lights; Michelle, Rei and I can dance. And I'm sure Mina will send up your costume, altered of course."

Serena nodded as tears came to her eyes "I love you guys so much! You have no idea how wonderful you all really are!"

Michelle nodded "just one problem. I don't know the dance moves…"

Rei and Lita rose their hands "duh, we can teach you! And Serena can give a burned copy of the song so you can memorize the music."

They continued the conversation in Serena's dorm as Rei and Lita showed Michelle the steps.
