Konnichi wa minna! This is my second story. I started Cinderella a Serena Story but I don't know if I will continue it so if you want me to continue it just send me email. Anyways, this story just came as inspiration to me. It starts off kind of like she's all that, but it will end totally differently as you can kind of see in the first couple of paragraphs. And for all of you Andrew fans, I made him kind of not Andrew but instead, a mean guy. I might change that later on but I'm not sure. If you like the story, email me. Disclaimers: I do not own any part of sailor moon but I own my story so don't anyone dare try to copy and commit plagiarism. That will not be tolerated. *evil smile* Anyways, on with the story. Tell me what cha think. The tears ran down her face. 'He hates me' she thought to herself. The tears wouldn't' stop. 'He betrayed me'. Serena slowly opened her tear filled eyes and surveyed the room. There was no one and nothing but a note. She picked it up again and read it for the fourth time in 6 minutes. 'Serena, I don't like you. I never liked you. I sometimes could bear your presence but that was just toleration. I don't mean to hurt you by this note. I just wanted you to know the facts. Don't talk to me again. I mean it for it will be the ultimate downfall for you and I would hate to hurt you more than I have. Love always, Darien?' She choked back another set of tears. Is this what it would always be drawn to, Tears and unhappiness? Serena couldn't let it happen. She would change and shield her heart from all of those cold and heartless bastards like him. She would never show him how much he hurt her. No, she would return to school, chin held high and defy all of the mocking stares and accusing glares. She would take it all in. For one day, she would have revenge. 3 Months before? The birds sang and the sun rose becomingly over the white clouds, filling the blue sky with sunlight. What a joyous day. Serena walked around the park with a look of utter fulfillment. Dressed in her baggy tan jeans and a white t-shirt, the words "Beware" strewn on her shirt, Serena made a quite unpleasant site to the oncoming that observed her style. She wore thick glasses with tape keeping the two sides together and her long blond mane was pulled into a braid, twisted in a bun in the back of her head. The only tolerant feature of Serena's appearance was her overlarge blue eyes that were hidden behind the unnecessary glasses. She sauntered along until she encountered a bench and then she sat. It was a really beautiful day, Serena thought to herself. She was happy which was rare and only showed up every once in a while since the fateful day when her loving little brother died. Her brother, Sammy, had died 3 years ago in an accident on his graduation day, along with his 3 best friends. Serena was very close to her brother and the news had hit her hard when she first found out. For the first month, she locked herself in her room and refused to come out. When she finally came out of her room, she looked sick and in need of food. It was a long time until Serena finally got used to the idea but still, when she looked up from the breakfast table, she could almost still see her brother there, throwing his toast at her or something to that affect. She would laugh it off and there would be a food fight. But he was gone. And the 13-year-old Serena decided to change her life since then. That was the fateful moment in time when Serena decided to hide herself behind unsightly clothes and spectacles. Don't think about that Serena, she scolded herself as she came back from her drawn out memory. It was her 16th birthday and she would not let the awful thought's ruin her day. Suddenly, Serena remembered the time. IT was 7, which meant she only had 15 minutes to get to school. OH how she dreaded school. She didn't want to face all of the mockery and hypocriticalness of her peers. She had no friends in school and never tried to gain any. She didn't ask for their scorn, she only wanted them to leave her alone. With a long drawn out sigh, Serena got up from the bench and started toward school. Meanwhile? Darien Chiba, The "school hunk", the most popular junior in the school, the most sought after guy, captain of the football and basketball team, (AN: whoosh! Had to take a breath!) looked back at his friends. How could they want him to even go near Serena Tsukino, the school nerd and outcast? He glared back at his friends, Andrew, Chad, and Ken. "I will not go near that bitch Serena. I don't care, and don't try to convince me you moron. Leave the dog in its house," Darien scathingly replied to his friends' request. Andrew merely lifted an eyebrow in mock and pleasure. "Oh, so the infamous Darien is scared is he? Well, never thought you'd wimp out. But hey-" Andrew was cut off by Darien's interruption. "What the hell Andrew, shut the hell up with this damn nonsense. No one in his or her right mind would ever go near Serena. If she looked at me, I'd probably turn to stone," Andrew bit off a laugh at that remark and replied, "I'll make it worth your while man. Lets see, I'll pay you 500 hundred dollars and be your maid for a month if you agree to my terms on this prank you're going to play on Serena," Darien looked more interested now. His eyes wide with surprise, mouth partway opened. "Are you serious Andrew? Why is it so important? I'll do it if you explain that to me before I agree. Do you have some kind of grudge against her?" Darien inquired. "No my man. I just think it will be damned funny. I'll laugh my ass off when I see her face after the prank is finished. Now here are my terms?" ****H*~*E*~*A*~*R*~*T****B*~*R*~*E*~*A*~*K****** 5?4?3?2? "OH NOOOO!!!" Serena yelled as she neared her classroom door. 1? But, the bell didn't ring. Serena opened the classroom door and rushed to her seat. BRRRRIIINNNGGG!!!! 'Whew! Thought I was late there for a second' Serena thought to herself in mild release. Science was Serena's first period class and it bored her to death. And, she sat right next to the school hunk, Darien. This drew an unconscious groan from Serena. She had seen all of the other girls' heart filled stares when Darien passed them in the hall. He was somewhat handsome with his slightly long jet-black hair and blue eyes. And you could say that his strongly muscled torso was very attractive. And his height was a bit above average at his 6'4''. And you could also? Serena banged her head against her desk. She would not think about Darien. She did not think HE was CUTE. And she was totally different from the other girls. She never looked at him when he was coming down the hall? Only when he was leaving. Serena banged her head against the desk again. STOP the insanity Serena!! She thought to herself. Serena was still trying to convince herself when a deep voice invaded her thoughts. "Are you okay Serena? If you keep banging your head like that, you could get a concussion. And we wouldn't want that would we?" Darien remarked. Serena's head flew up off the desk and stared at the speaker. He was talking to her rationally, she thought with disbelief. And, he wasn't mocking. What was going on? Flames? Comments? Praises? Email? Me? Dreameress1@excite.com peace!!!
