SERENA'S POINT OF VIEW

Lunch ended and I returned to my seat. 2 minutes later my friend molly sat down next to me. Molly and I have been friends ever since kindergarten. She knows almost everything about me except for the part about me being the champion of love and justice and me being a reincarnated princess from the moon over a thousand years ago.

"Hey Molly how have you been?" I asked

"Oh I have been fine. Melvin and I have been going out."

"What?!"

"Yeah it happened a while ago. You have been too busy to notice I guess."

"I'm sorry Molly. The girls and I have just been busy and then there's my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? You didn't tell me about a boyfriend."

"Yeah well neither did you Molls."

"Oh Sere tell me please." She whined

"No you're just going to judge me about dating an older man."

"You're dating an older man?"

Oops maybe I shouldn't have said that. I can't tell her about Darien or she'll freak. I still can't believe she never told me about Melvin. I can't believe she is dating that loser. I mean he had a crush on me for like forever and then he just pushes me aside for my best friend. He is such a jerk! It's not like I like him though. I'm glad he moved on, but did it have to be my best friend? Maybe I should go talk to him. Nah then everyone will think I'm hanging out with the biggest loser in the entire universe. Will I have to hang out with him though? Now that he's going out with Molly will he eat with us? Well I guess I could just hang out with the girls if anything happens. Maybe Ms. Haruna will be out more so Darien can stay longer. We really never have time to spend together but if he is my substitute we will have loads of time to spend. Maybe he can tutor me too! That would be so nice!

I looked around and saw my Darien looking at some papers before the bell rings. Just then the bell rings and he gets up.

"Now class, as you see, I have some kanji written on the board. Now I know that none of you have been practicing kanji but I do know that you should know some words. Is this right class?"

"Yes Mr. Shields." The whole class announced.

"Good. Now I am going to call on one person to come up to the board and read the kanji in front of us."

Darien looked around the whole classroom until his eyes locked with mine. His lips went up to form a wicked smile and I saw that gleam in his eyes. The gleam he gets when he want to "play" with me. Again he looked around the entire room. Everyone was on the edge of their seats hoping that they would not be picked.

"Now is there anyone who wants to volunteer?"

The whole class was silent before he turned around and looked at the seating chart.

"Molly fielding could you read what is on the board?"

"I am sorry sir but every time we practiced kanji I was absent."

"I see well it says here that Ms. Tsukino was rarely ever absent even with the continuing absences."

"Yeah what's your point?" I asked rather rudely. I don't mean it but this is getting rather frustrating.

"How rather rude of you Ms. Tsukino. My point is that you have been here the whole time you practiced kanji so you should know a few words. So why don't you come up here and read it to the class."

"Why me, there are a ton of students who have been here the whole time?"

"Well you are sitting next to Ms. Fielding so I just picked you."

"What ever let's just get this over with. "

"Now what has you in such a bad mood?"

"I am just about to be made fun of by the whole class for my lack of intelligence, and you're asking me why I am in such a bad mood?"

"Now Ms. Tsukino it won't be that bad. Now come up here and read from this board."

"This better be good or he is in so much trouble." I mumbled

"What was that Ms. Tsukino?"

"Nothing!" I said rather enthusiastically

I got up and made my way to the board, aware of the other students' eyes on me. I wonder why he didn't call Ami. That would have been the most logical choice. I glared up at him and he smiled back at him. Darien and I are telepathic but right now he is blocking me off, I wonder why? I wonder if King Endymion is like this to Neo-Queen Serenity. If he is then he is in for a whole lot of trouble. I got up to the board and looked up at the kanji. I could make out the words me and you.

"Ok you got me what does it say?"

"Now now I want you to be able to do it on your own. But if you need help then I will be more than happy to help you out."

"Alright then help me already."

"Testy, testy, Ms. Tsukino, I am your teacher and you should respect me."

"Whatever."

"Now what does the image show you?" (I have no idea what kanji is so bear with me)

"A ring I guess?"

"And what does the ring symbolize?"

"Marriage maybe."

"Good now what would the sentence say then?"

"Well I guess it is a proposal so the sentence would say 'will you marry me?'"

"Good and if your boyfriend perhaps asked you to marry him what would you say?"

"Well if my boyfriend asked me then I would say yes in a heartbeat." I said guessing where he was going with this.

"Alright now is there anything else you would like to ask before you go sit down?"

"Yes I believe there is one question I would like to ask."

"Alright then go ahead and ask."

"Where is my ring jerk?"

He threw his head back and laughed surprising everyone but me. Happy to see his laughter again I started laughing along with him. It took a few minutes before we calmed down, and when we did he got on one knee and took out a velvet box. He opened the box and took out a heart shaped diamond ring and placed it on my ring finger. Everyone was surprised but applauded us anyway. Today really was the best birthday I ever had.

Hey that's it! I hoped you liked it! Sorry for the people who wanted it to be ongoing but I just couldn't make another chapter. I am contemplating about a sequel so hopefully there will be one! Thank all of those who reviewed it helped a lot!
