Serena had laid herself down on a bench not too far away from the arcade. Actually, it was only a block away. She was laying on her stomach facing the opposite way she came from, so her hair was scattered lightly across her back to catch the sun. Her white sleeveless shirt would no doubt get dirty from the bench, but so would her tan capris.

As Darien saw her he began to march towards her angrily, but it wore off as soon as he heard her whimpering into her arms. He suddenly felt the guilt wash over him again and he growled at himself for making her upset. It's not like he meant any of the stuff her said to her. He just didn't know how to have a civil conversation with her. He was so downtrodden and lonely while she was
completely opposite, happy and sunny. How could he talk to a person like that?

"Are you okay, Serena?" He managed to ask, once he regained his voice. She growled at his familiar voice.

"Go away," she muttered into her arms. "I'm not in the mood for another round of merciless teasing."

"Look, I want to explain why I-"

"I don't want to hear it!" She nearly yelled. Serena sat up and whirled around to face him, her eyes burning with tears and murder.
"You seem to find it amusing that I get bad grades and how I trip over everything and how I do my hair, but you never seem to notice when I'm feeling bad. You see me and automatically think that I'm in a good mood. You assume that I don't care about school or what others think of me or how immature I am. I do care! You and my friends just never seem to notice, but when I finally do, you ask me if I'm feeling okay. Well I am! I'm completely fine! So, maybe I'm not pretty or perfect and I can't walk straight! So, what! If those things matter to you more than my friendship, then I never want to see you again, Darien Shields!"

"But-"

"Just go away!" She growled at him before jumping up and storming off down the street. He sighed to himself and shook his head as he tried to remove the hurt feeling he was getting. As he turned to look up at Serena again, she was out in the middle of the road and a car was headed straight for her.
