Chapter One

My life has surely changed in the past few days. Last week I was a normal high school senior and now I am the long lost princess from a faraway kingdom in a world that coexists with the human world on the brink of war with some evil force and I met someone who I can't stop thinking that I knew him before this life.

The story begins in an ordinary coffee shop in the middle of the town of Tokyo, Japan. I was in line at the coffee shop waiting to place my order. I was wearing my favorite pair of jeans, a black long sleeve shirt with a pink and grey sweater vest. My blonde hair was up in two messy buns so it looks like I have meatballs on my head. I was the next in line when the cashier called his number.

"53 your order is ready" she said. He walked up next to me. I couldn't see his face but he seemed like the kind of guy you would want to avoid. He was wearing a black sports jacket, a plain white shirt, and some jeans that looked like they came from a really nice name brand. He came up, took his coffee while thanking the cashier and for some reason he just stood there for a second.

"Mam may I take your order?" asked the cashier.

"Um… yes can I get a grande mocha cappuccino?" I asked looking away from the guy as he started to walk to an empty table.

"Oh I'm sorry miss we just ran out of chocolate. Can I get you something else?" she asked apologetically.

"No thanks" I said turning around. I started walking towards the table where my 4 best friends were waiting for me. I sat down and tried to relax but for some strange reason I couldn't stop thinking about that guy even though I was in a relationship with one of the star players on the soccer team.

"Hey Serena, where's your coffee?" my friend Amy asked. I snapped back to reality, ignoring their giggling and whispering saying 'Oh she's thinking about Hunter again on their wedding night' and faced her.

"Oh they ran out of what I wanted" suddenly out of nowhere, he was right next to me and he set his coffee in front of me with his hand still on it.

"Take mine" he said in a stern voice. I looked up at him, I saw his brown eyes and he was just so handsome. He had short black hair which looked like he had just woken up and a serious looking face but I had a feeling he was kinder than he looked. "You said you wanted a grande mocha cappuccino right? It's yours, I don't need the caffeine." I took the coffee from him and when I touched his hand, my mind was flooded with different flash backs. He and I locked eyes for a moment then he turned, walked back to his table and pulled a notebook from under his coat. He opened it and started to look over it.

"Serena … earth to Serena … Serena!" said Raye.

"Huh?" I turned back to my friends to see them looking at me intently.

"That guy looks a lot like my ex-boyfriend Freddy."Lita sighed. "Are you going to let a guy like that get away?! I know you're dating Hunter but that guy will beat Hunter in a boyfriend challenge any day. Besides he is so gorgeous, so go after him before one of us get our hands on him!" Mina was talking in hyper mode which happens every time a cute guy walks by. All four of them got me out of my chair and pushed me towards his table. When I reached his table, all of my friends went back to our table to watch the show that was about to start. I was blushing like mad when he looked up at me from his notebook for a moment. Our eyes locked for the second time. Out of nowhere I kissed him. I didn't know what was going through my head, I mean I kissed a total stranger but neither of us fought it. When our lips touched, fuzzy memories rushed into my head causing me to blackout a little bit. After a couple seconds, we parted and stared at each other. I was blushing even deeper than before, so I started to head back to my table but then he grabbed my hand. I gasped as the same memories started to play again.

"Well that was …. Interesting" he said as he let go of my hand, got up and pulled out a chair for me. 'Mademoiselle Votre chaise. I sat down next to his chair and I saw a glimpse of some writing but I couldn't understand it. He sat down, closing his notebook and putting it away.

"H … H … Hi my … my name's Serena" I said a bit nervous after what just happened.

"Name's Darien" he smiled at me. "You don't have to be nervous. I did give you my coffee, didn't I?" he said leaning back into his chair as if he was trying to stay away from me and crossing his arms.

"Well yeah" I said blushing while feeling my nervousness wash away. "So do you live around here?" I asked looking at him.

"Not really I travel a lot. I just transferred to Juuban Municipal high school" I smiled a bit as I heard a loud thud witch I could only assume was my friends' heads hitting the table.

"That's where I go to school. What year are you going in to?" I asked with a smile.

"I'm not going into a school year. I'm a teacher's aide" he said as he stared into my eyes as if he was trying to see my soul or to read my mind. I couldn't help myself as I stared into those beautiful blue eyes of his. I tried to keep the conversation going by asking him some questions.

"So how old are you?" He took some time to answer but after awhile he said he was 19. I asked him how long he has been 19. "Since August." He said looking at me.

"How old are you?" He asked looking at me.

"I'm 18" I said scooting closer to him. He smiled at me then looked at his watch.

"I have to go for now, Meatball head" he said standing up and ruffles my hair in a annoying way. He slipped a note in my hand as he walked away and disappeared into the crowd of people. I opened the note and scanned it over it said. '553-6131 Give me a call or text me sometime' and it had a crescent moon on it in silver ink in the background. I didn't think much of it at the time but I would soon learn that I was wrong, dead wrong. After a few minutes after he left, I rejoined my friends and told them I had to go. I walked out of the coffee shop and down the street thinking about Joshua. He was just so dreamy and mysterious.

"I can't wait to see him tomorrow" I said with a smile and I couldn't help but think that there was more to him than what I learned about him.
