Title:Friday's Child.Part 1 Author:Tapestry E-mail:Shaddow_Cat@hotmail.com Standard Disclaimer Apply *denotes thought I believe you all know the rhyme,Monday's Child??? Well I was reading that and decided to write a story. :) "Brat!" "Jerk!" "Childish!" "Insensitive!" "Will you two CUT IT OUT!!!!??"shouted Mina Aino,at the two bickering people...Serena Tsukino and Darien Chiba. "Mina's right....you two are acting childish and silly."said Lita Kino.The rest of their friends nodded. Darien and Serena took one look at each other and looked away angrily. Then,the bell rang..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serena Tsukino was 16 years old with long blonde hair and sapphire blue eyes.Her figure was short and petite.She was a board memeber of the exclusive and elite Delta Sorority at the high and upstanding Tokyo Hill Academy.A school which only the richest people in Tokyo,attended. Serena stormed away with her friends to class....fuming at the run in with Tokyo Hill's own most eligible guy and also the President of the elite Theta Fraternity....Darien Chiba.It was hate at first site for both of them. Darien Chiba,17 years old with dark wild midnight hair and deep ocean blue eyes which made almost any girl in Tokyo Hill swoon.He marched to class his fraternity brothers behind him. "Hey Dare,will you calm down??Why do you and Serena have to argue all the time??"asked Andrew Furuhata. "That...girl..is absolutely the most exasperating person I have ever met." growled Darien. Andrew shrugged.Of all the years he'd known Darien,it was only when he ran into Serena Tsukino,did his cold friend show any feelings.He knew it wasn't his bestfriend's fault as his parents had died leaving him alone with his busy grandfather.Darien never had much love in his childhood. Andrew looked over his shoulder to Ken Miyake,Greg Urawa and Chad Kumada. All four shook their heads in understanding. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Lunch time... "That Chiba is so infuriating."growled Serena. Raye Hino,Amy Mizuno,Mina and Lita rolled their eyes.They heard this complaint over a dozen times. "Sere...as a Delta,you shouldn't embarras the sorority by arguing in the halls you know....What if Melissa should boot you from the sorority?"askedRaye. All five were members of the elite sorority as well as on the board comitee of the sorority that many new freshmen girls tried to claw their way into.However they had been recruited by the last president,Shale Hiro, who had recently graduated,leaving Melissa Kagero to the position. Serena frowned and wrinkled her nose at the name."Melissa thinks she's so high just because she's dating Oh-High-and-Mighty baka Chiba,President of Tokyo Hill's fraternity. The four girls giggled at Serena's name for Darien Chiba. "The two deserve each other."said Serena licking her lips. "Oh,Sere!!"gasped Mina in between breathes. "Say??Anybody got a date for Tokyo Hill's upcoming masquerade prom??"asked Lita,effectively changingin the subject. Everybody shook their head's in disappointment. "I wish Andrew would ask me."said Mina dreamily. The other's smirked at Mina's words. "Figures.."laughed Raye. "What about you Amy??"asked Serena curious. Amy flushed a pink hue.Amy shook her head."I don't know." "What about you,Sere??Who'd YOU want to take you to the prom??"asked Raye her violet eyes gleaming. "Well,I...-" "As if anybody'd want to go to the prom with YOU,rabbit."drawled a voice. Serena fumed and turned to see Darien,Ken,Chad,Greg and Andrew standing behind them. "Oh...you,creep!!People DO SO want to go to the prom with me!!" "Oh yeah??Name one."laughed Darien Darien stared at the red-faced fuming blonde.*She's so cute when she's angry.*thought Darien with glee. Amy coughed slightly and tugged at Serena's sleeve,Serena's eyes flickered for a second.She knew Amy was telling her not to argue with the man. Serena glared at him and turned back to her friends. "Get lost Chiba....we're having GIRL-talk here..."spat Serena. Darien frowned.She'd totally ignored him.It was infuriating. "See...couldn't name one person."goaded Darien. "Good day,Chiba."said Serena not looking at him. His frown grew deeper.Andrew and the others noticed this and tugged him away from the group of girls. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Serena wanted so much to strangle that jerk of a guy.He had implied she was ugly...the nerve!! "Cool off,Sere."said Mina. "That man is Satan I tell you!!!The Devil himself!!!"spat Serena. Raye sighed...*This is going to be a long day.* "Look,Sere...how about this...today is Friday..how about we head to the beach after school???"suggested Lita. "Okay...I need to cool off anyway.."frowned Serena. The four girls sighed... "That's the spirit.Don't let the creep get to ya!"laughed Mina. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Dare,why do you always like to pick fights with Serena??She's a nice girl."said Ken. "She's infuriating and exasperating....not,NICE.."grounded out Darien. "Uh-oh...I think somebody's ego is hurt,"whispered Chad to Greg. Greg chuckled slightly. "Really,Darien...you should learn to be nice to Serena....she's a girl, one in a million.She's caring,sweet,loving,cheerful,forgiving...-"beganAndrew. "And also the most exasperating."repeated Darien. "How about this...why don't we head out to the beach after school??" suggested Greg.(Uh-oh...author runs and hides.) "No a bad idea.It's been kind of warm lately.Besides Darien needs some cooling off."joked Chad. "Then it's settled..the beach after school."said Ken. Darien sighed...He didn't really feel like hanging out with his fraternity brothers...he only wanted to go home... "Dare??"came Greg's voice. "Sigh...okay...guess I could use some relaxation."said Darien. "Attaboy,Dare."smiled Ken lightly punching his arm. Darien gave another sigh...somehow,something told him he was going to regret this..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After school... "Hey,girls!!Look at how many people from our school came!!"exclaimedMina. "You're right!!Most of them are freshmen!!"exclaimed Lita. "There ARE some CUTE guys here on this beach."said Raye brushing her purplish black hair out of her eyes,and tying it into a loose ponytail. Serena rolled her eyes,stood next to Amy who blushed. Serena closed her eyes and breathed deeply....the smell of salt air assulted her noses. "Come on....lets grab a spot on the beach before there's no PRIVATE space left."urged Mina.~Somewhere else on the beach...~ "Aaaaah..this is the life."said Chad as he lay on the sand with a pair of Rayban sunglasses on his eyes. "It is kind of boring you know."said Greg. "Boring??Did you check out the group of freshmen girls swooning when we walked past them???"asked Ken,chuckling. Andrew rolled his eyes."Don't you guys think of anything else???"he asked. "For exaaaaammmple....???"drawled Chad. "Like who you're gonna take to the prom??" "Huh...haven't thought yet...maybe I'll ask that sorority girl....what's her name??"wondered Ken. "Which one??"asked Greg. "The tall and gorgeous brunette." "Oh...that's Lita."replied Greg. "What about you Chad??" "I have my eye on the fiery raven-head,Raye.."sighed Chad dreamily. "Andrew??"prompted Ken. "Me????Well...I don't know...maybe,Mina.." "Greg will probably ask the shy genius,Amy."laughed Chad,elbowing Greg's arm playfully,turning Greg bright red. "You didn't ask me.."drawled Darien trying his best to pretend to behurt. "Hahaha...we don't need to man.Everybody knows you're going out with Melissa."laughed Ken. Darien snorted. "Melissa probably said she'd be going with me,didn't sh-..."said Darien until his sentence stopped dead....his jaw hanging open. "Uh Dare??" Darien saw a laughing vision in a white spaghetti strap bikini. Andrew smirked when he followed Darien's gaze to Serena.....until of course,Mina followed with a wetsuit-like bathing suit.Mina flipped her long blonde hair back as she laughed slong with her friends. "Hey you two,pick your jaws off the sand...it's impolite to stare." chuckled Chad.Then,his eyes locked onto Raye, who had her raven hair in a loose red ribbon and wore a strapless reddish orange bikini. Darien and Andrew smirked at Chad's expression. "You were saying,Chad??"asked Darien. "I'm in heaven."mumbled Chad. "Oh stop drooling you three...they've settled a few yards away."said Andrew to Ken,Chad and Greg. "Dude..I don't think they saw us."said Chad. "Brilliant einstein."said Ken sarcastically. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The five girls settled down on their blankets unknowing of the pairs of eyes that watched them. "Amy,can you help me with my back??I don't want to get a burn."said Serena as she tried to reach her back. "Sure Sere."said Amy taking the sunblock from Serena. "Hey,I'm going to get a cone.You girls want anything?"called Mina. "Soda,please!"called Raye. "Custard for me!!"laughed Lita. "No thanks."said Serena. "Plain water will do."said Amy. "Okay..see you in a few."waved Mina. "Coming to the beach was definately one of your better ideas,Lita." sighed Raye. "I know."smiled Lita as she closed her eyes. Serena shrugged,her eyes straying to the waves....then someone caught her attention.... "Raye!!Is THAT...Chad????"exclaimed Serena her eyes wide,Chad was...surfing!!! Raye's eyes popped open,brushing some strands of hair away from her face, Raye sat up quickly and gasped. "That IS Chad!!!"exclaimed Raye. "But if HE'S here....wouldn't...." "Hey girls!!Look who I ran into!!"called Mina happily. "ANDREW!"exclaimed the four girls. "Hi...I didn't think I was so popular with you girls."joked Andrew. "This is terrible."wailed Serena. "Well..I'm insulted."said Andrew trying to be serious...failing miserably. "What's so terrible????"asked Lita curiously. "BECAUSE....if Chad and Andrew are here....wouldn't the rest of the guys be here too??And wouldn't THAT mean...-" "Hey,Rabbit." "-Darien Chiba's here too...."groaned Serena. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
