Chapter 4: …One-Sided?
At Rei´s…
All of the girls had fallen asleep, all except one: Serena. She was still debating on her head who she really liked. She was certain she liked John, but now with Darien's kiss and confession she did not know for sure. Darien was always mean and teased her all the time, she once thought that he lived to make her miserable, the girls once said that he did that because he liked her, she did not believe them…. until now.
At Darien's the next day…
He was busying himself with homework and studies…anything to get Serena's rejection out of his head. Even though he tried to hide it…her rejection broke his heart and had taken a toll on him physically: his eyes were puffy and red, and under them he had dark circles, his body was tense, basically he looked awful. He barely slept and ate; he was getting thinner. He finished his homework and decided that it was time to forget about the rejection and go back to his usual routine…without Serena. With that, he marched out the door going straight to where he was sure a good black coffee awaited him.
At the arcade…
Darien walked in the arcade and went straight to the counter where Andrew greeted him.
¨Hi Darien!…Whoa you look awful what happened to you?¨ he said concern written on his face as he looked at the poor state his best friend was in.
¨Serena¨ he said bitterly.
¨Huh? What about Serena…oh hehe don't tell me you guys are already together?¨ Andrew smirked wickedly while his eyebrows wiggled in a playful mode.
¨No…. she…she rejected me Andrew…¨ he said while trying to hold his emotions.
¨Oh… sorry man.¨
¨It's okay, I mean not like she would like me that way in a million years, I just hoped that…maybe just maybe she would…¨
¨I know what you mean Darien and….¨ Andrew cut off the conversation when he saw who entered the Arcade, none other than the girl in question: Serena.
She saw Andrew and Darien talking and decided to test how she really felt towards him, so she walked up behind him and whispered in his ear.
¨Um …Darien can we talk in the back room for a moment¨
He didn't know what to make of it at first but decided that it can't do him more harm, and obliged. Once in the back room Serena looked in Darien's eyes and saw love, hurt and sadness. Then unconsciously started moving towards him until they were face to face. They stayed there gazing at each other, and in their minds there was only one thing. Darien thought he should control his emotions but just as he was about to speak, Serena leaned forward and kissed him passionately, while bringing her hands in the back of his neck deepening the kiss. He was shocked at first but gave in and wrapped his arms around her waist, while she absentmindedly played with his hair. They we so into it until her cell phone rang.
¨Oh man! Sorry Dare, gotta go!¨
And with that she ran out, leaving Darien in a daze.
What did just happened?! She kissed me! Does she…
Sorry it took so long to get the chapter up and that it´s so short, but college proffesors like to make my life misserable. I would like to thank CelestialxMoonxRose for her support, and wish her luck on her fanfic, after all she is my best friend!
Well thats it for now people, don´t forget to review! Will be writing the next chapter: Cheating.
