Serena
I sat with Tia and her friends, but I could feel Shaun's stare.
After school, I was in a hurry to get in my car, so I didn't see him coming as I fumbled for my keys.
"Serena, how strongly are you opposed to seeing a movie with me this weekend?" he asked.
I looked up, at first not believing what I was hearing. I was aware that it was Thursday. Very aware.
"Unopposed," I said, so happy. Inexplicably happy, as I met his eyes. They weren't black, just a very dark brown.
"I'll pick you up," he said.
"Come to this address," I said, scrawling my street and house number on a piece of paper my hands had reached when I was searching for my elusive car keys. I added my number, saying,"and here's my number."
I was so incredibly happy as I handed him the piece of paper.
"Here's mine," he said softly, writing his own number down on the other half of the paper, tearing it and handing me the half he'd written on.
Tia
She'd said yes!
I was waiting in my car "conveniently" parked three down from Serena's.
And it was all thanks to me.
It was turning out to be a better day than I hoped for.
I smiled smugly to myself as I pulled out of the parking space.

I'm just drifting, drifting down this road.
The dust kicking up behind me,
Just a cloud to hide my past.
My feet don't leave any footprints,
My name never graces those lips
That I'm watching from a distance,
A distance that grows greater
As I'm drifting, drifting down this road.
I'm not on the way to anything great,
I'm just hiding, hiding down in the dark.
The shadows closing in around me,
Just a blanket to smother my past.
My eyes can't see in the gloom,
My voice never breaks the silence
That I keep deep in my heart,
A heart that grows blacker
As I'm drifting, drifting in the dark.
