Chapter Seven
Do You Like Her
----------------
Serena woke up to her annoying little brother telling her that Darien was here to walk her to school. SHIT..."I'll be down in a minute." She shouted to Sammy. She got dressed and ran down the stairs, tripping and falling down the last half of them. "Owww!" Her family ran over to Serena to see if she was okay, but she wasn't. She had hurt her arm and couldn't move it without pain.
No one noticed that Darien was off in the other room, holding his arm in pain as well. Why does my arm hurt like hell, I didn't even do anything, it's the ditzy blonde that fell down the stairs that should be hurting. He thought as he hid the emotion from his face. He quickly brushed off the pain feeling and started feeling sorry for his friend that just fell down the stairs.
"She needs to go to the hospital, I think her arm is broken." Serena's father, Ken, had said.
"Oh, Serena are you okay?" Darien asked with deep concern.
"Yah, I think I'll be okay. You should go to school, or you'll be late." She said reassuringly.
"No, I'll go with-"
"No, go, I'll need someone to tell my friends why I'm not there." She tried to laugh, but it only caused her pain.
"Okay, I'll come by after school to see how you're feeling, okay?" He said
"Okay, fine, be stubborned." Serena said, but Darien frowned. "I'm kidding you moron. See you later."
"Bye, feel better." He said waving.
Darien was walking to school and saw the girls ahead of him and decided to tell them now.
"Hey girls." he called from behind.
"Hey, how are you?" Lita asked.
"I'm okay, but Serena isn't." Darien said.
"WHAT, WHAT'S WRONG WITH SERENA????" Mina shouted.
"She'll be fine. She just fell down the stairs this morning and her parents think she broke her arm." Darien explained.
"Oh, we should go over there." Lita said starting to head in the other direction.
"No, she told me to go and her parents just left to take her to the hospital."
"Oh, then I guess we can't do anything, this sucks. Now we can't find out how her 'date' went last night." Amy said.
"Like she'll want to tell me." Raye said as she started walking away.
"What, what do you mean?" Lita asked with concern. "You are closer to her then any of us."
"Yah, well I was doing a fire reading on Jarrett when Serena walked in. She heard and I explained...well trying to explain. She just walked out." Raye sighed.
"Well Raye, I'm sure everything will be fine with you two." Amy assured.
"Yah, as a matter of fact, I know she is fine with you. I ran into her yesterday after her 'date' and she was talking about that. She said that she was gonna apologize this morning." Darien said.
"Really, you not just making stuff up are you?" Raye asked
"No, she really was."
"Did she say anything to you about Jarrett." Lita asked.
"Yah, something about them not having much in common, and that he hates NASCAR so she doesn't think it'll work with them two." Darien explained.
"Oh, that's our Serena." Mina joked.
"Yup, if he don't like NASCAR, he's shit-outta-luck." Raye said, as they all burst into laugh.
"Yah, that's right. So Darien, if you ever want to date our Serena, you better like NASCAR, and should like Jeff Gordon." Mina said elbowing him in the gut.
"Yah, I know, we talked last night. He's my favorite driver!" He said matter-o-factly.
"So do you guys have a lot in common?" Asked Amy.
"Yah, actually we do." He said not thinking what the four girls
They finally got to school and the girls went to the direction of Raye's locker, and Darien went to find his buddies.
----------------
When the girls arrive at Raye's locker, the start discussing what they just heard from Darien.
"They need to go out." Mina said bluntly.
"Yah, he's perfect. He always cares for her and even seem really sad this morning when he was telling us about what happened to her." Lita agreed.
"Yah, and I think when we were at the fair the other day, I saw them on a bench, she was crying and they were hugging." Amy noted.
"Maybe she told him-" Raye was cut off.
"But she's never told anyone but us!" Mina said.
"I don't know, I'll talk to her later or something." Raye said.
"That sounds like a good idea, you can talk to her after school when we go to visit her." Lita suggested.
"Sounds go-" Amy was cut off by the bell.
"See ya." They all said going their separate ways.
----------------
As lunch time came around, the girls got to talking to the guys.
"Darien, did Serena tell you about Freshmen year?" Amy asked.
"Uh, what?" He paused to think. "Oh, yah, why?" He suddenly got quiet. I hate that guy.
"Just wondering." Amy got out before interrupted by Mina.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Mina asked with enthusiasm.
"No, why?" He responded, kinda confused now.
"Do you like Serena?" Lita caught on to what she was getting to.
"What, why. Are you trying to play matchmaker girls?" He said, pretty much avoiding the question.
"I KNEW IT, you do like her!" Mina exclaimed.
"I never said I didn't. She's a really good friend." He tried to cover up.
"No, you like her more then a friend, don't deny your true feelings for her." Raye finally piped up.
"So what if I do."
"You two should go out." Kevin said approaching the table.
"Yah, that'd be cool, you two seem really close already." Josh joined.
"And you like her already, so does she like you?" Zac asked.
"Not sure." Raye answered.
"Who cares, she seems interested in Jarrett anyways." Darien defended.
"So, I can tell you're thinking of her all the time, you are always mumbling her name in your sleep. I hear you when I'm walking to the kitchen in the morning." Stephen sat at the table and said matter-o-factly.
"You all are impossible." Darien said shaking his head. "Eight against one, how is that possibly fair?"
"You like her, there is no need for an eight agents one battle." Amy said schemeishly.
"What ever, lunch is almost over." He informed at the clock, he was right.
----------------
After school, the nine of them decided to go see if Serena was feeling any better.
"Hey girl." Lita popped into the room. That was pointless, she's sleeping.
"Well now what?" Amy asked.
"Well you guys go home, and I'll stay here until she wakes. When she does, I'll call you all." Raye said, thinking she could talk to her alone.
"I feel really bad, if she wasn't rushing down to see me, she wouldn't have fallen." Darien sighed.
"It's not your fault, why don't you stay too?" Mina suggested.
"You're sly Mina." Darien said as Mina just grinned. "Fine, I want to apologize anyways."
"Okay, see you guys later." Kevin said as they walked away.
"Bye." they all said in unison.
A/N: I'm going to the race tomorrow (that's where I got the NASCAR insparation, I know they never say anything about NASCAR in Sailor Moon), so I can't write or update at all tomorrow, sorry. And I'll be camping from this Thursday to Sunday. I'll be able to write Tuesday and Wednesday, and while I'm camping. I'll update asap.
Reviews loved!
