Serena sat on the bar stool playing with ends of her hair wondering how late her boyfriend was now. It had already been an hour since she arrived and usually she was the late one but now he was always late. Seyia was perfect, sweet, caring, or was up until a month ago. They had been dating for 8 months, and Serena finally felt she was ready for more in the relationship. More than puppy-love. All they ever did was hug or hold hands, and sometimes that occasional peck on the lips. Nothing more than that. Serena didn't mind at first but after their 7 month anniversary she suggested with small hints that she wanted a longer kiss or two and maybe more. When Seiya picked up on these hints however he backed off from her instantly. She barely heard from him, he was always late or canceled dates with her, and barely touched her like she had some disease. Serena had the hardest time figuring out why. As she continued to sit there her phone rang.

"Hey, where are you?" Serena answered quickly.

"I can't make it… I got stuff.. To do." Seiya sighed into the phone.

"This is the third date in the row you have canceled on. Can't you try to cancel your 'stuff' you have to do this once for me?" She said as her voice rose a bit in anger.

"Serena. Please you know I love you. But please try to understand. I can pick you up for school tomorrow if that's fine."

"FineILoveYouBye." She said fast in anger as she clicked her phone shut.

"You okay bunns?" her best friend Andrew asked from across the bar counter.

"Not really Andrew, can I have a strawberry shake and some fries please?" She whispered sadly to him.

"Only if you cheer up okay?" He smiled

"Thank you." She said with a small cheerful smile.

Andrew had been her best friend for years; she had even met Seiya, her boyfriend, and Darien through him. They were really all really close. Andrew however was dating her cousin, who might as well be her twin, Mina. Serena, Andrew, Seiya, Darien, Mina, Lita, Amy, and Raye all went to the same private high school. They all were really close.

Andrew slid her shake and fries in front of her, "Now what's wrong bunns? Seiya again?"

"Sadly. I shouldn't have asked him or suggested to do more in the relationship. I just wanted to have a more serious relationship than what we have now." She sighed into her shake as she sipped it.

"Well I can understand why you're upset it's been a while for you two. Maybe you should let him make the moves and plans so he can need you?" Andrew suggested.

"I just want to work this out. I don't want to lose him just yet" She said.

"I don't think you will bunns. But hey after school tomorrow you, I, Seiya, Mina, Darien, and Raye could all go to the movies after school. Like a triple date. I bet that would help him feel comfortable to show affection with you while everyone else is showing affection." Andrew smiled at his idea.

"That might just work" She grinned.

After his suggestion the two had spoke for a while and about what movie they would see the next day.

After she gobbled down her shake and fries. She got up and headed out the sliding glass doors and headed home to think of an outfit for the next day.
