Thanks, Darien
"Wow, it sure is does look like it wants to rain out, I'd better head home," said the dark haired man to himself.
He was out for a walk, being that it was sunny out just 10 minutes ago, hoping to run into someone to talk to since his best, and only buddy, Andrew, went to Africa to visit his girlfriend. Darien didn't have very many friends being that he had just moved here a week ago. He got a job working at The Crown, an arcade/café, where he met Andrew, his boss, and they became buddies instantly. He sighed after no luck of finding anyone to talk to.
Not realizing the possible weather change, a young beautiful blonde was headed to meat her friends. While on her walk, she spotted a young guy that looked rather depressed. Having the kind heart she does, she decided to go and make conversation.
"Hi," the blonde said in a chipper tone. "My name is Mina."
Darien looked kinda startled, but quickly drifted back into reality. "Hi, I'm Darien. How are you?"
"I'm fine, how 'bout yourself?"
"I'm okay, I guess. I'm new here, just moved here a week ago."
"Oh, me too. It's actually kinda funny; I have four really good friends. We've been friends since like kindergarten and when my parents told me we were moving, I was heartbroken. Then all the other's parents decided to move here, some with business, some just cuz they wanted their daughters to be happy."
"That's really cool. I have four really good friends that lived with me back in California, but they're moving in with me after they get the rest of our stuff packed."
"When they move here you'll have to introduce them to me!" She said always willing to meet guys.
"Will do. So how old are you?"
"16, you?"
"16, do you know where you'll be going to school?" he asked.
"Yah, someplace called Franklin, you?"
"Same." Darien said as he felt a raindrop.
"Looks like it's about to-" Mina was cut off by an instant downpour. "I guess I should have brought an umbrella."
"Here," Darien pulled out his, "you can use it, and my place is just a block away. Wanna get out of this mess?" He offered.
"Thanks and sure."
Back at Darien's place:
"I'll be right back, I'm gonna change." He said soaked.
"Okay, I'd better call my friend, she's expecting me." She called back to him.
"Okay."
Mina pulled out her cell phone. As she was about to dial her friends number, the name 'Lita' flashed across the screen. She picked up.
"Hey, I was just about to call you."
"Oh, well I was just gonna say, tell the others I'll be late. It's really coming down out there." Her friend said over the phone.
"Yah, I'll call Amy, I got caught in it, and this guy invited me to get out of the mess. So I'm at his place." Mina kinda chuckled.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh, been in town a week and already hittin' on guys." Lita laughed.
"Shut up, I don't even know him, and he's not my type. I like blonde haird, blue eyed boys."
"Yah, yah, yah, you know I was kidding girl. So I'll see you later?"
"Yah and I'll call the other girls. Bye-bye"
"Okay, bye."
Darien had come out after she hung up the phone. "So what were you doing walking around when it was about to storm?"
"I was going to meet my friends at The Crown for some lunch." She answered as she pulled out her phone again.
"I can drive you there; I have to go to work in a few minutes anyways." He answered. Mina noticed him in a casual Crown uniform.
"I didn't know you worked there?!" she said surprised, "That'd be great."
"Okay, let's go." He said grabbing his keys.
"Thanks for driving me again." Mina said as they neared The Crown
"No problem." Darien said parking.
"I'll see you later?"
"Yup, see ya."
After Mina got into the arcade and explained how Lita was gonna be late cuz of the rain and how she met Darien, her twin-like friend piped up.
She started to ask questions in a half hushed tone, "Is he cute, what color is his hair, what about his eyes…"
"Whoa, Serena, calm down." Mina interrupted. "You are always ogling over guys, and how many have you dated?"
"None, but-" She was cut off.
"Exactly, no buts about it." A raven haired girl said.
"You're always so cold Raye." The girl known as Serena snapped back.
"Why must you two always bicker?" asked a bluenette who poked her head over a book.
Serena started to answer, "hey, wh-"
"Can I help you ladies?" Approached a waiter with dark, ebony hair.
"Hey, Darien, how are you?" Mina asked.
"Oh, hey Mina, I'm good, how 'bout yourself?" Darien asked.
The girls' eyes widened when they saw the stunning 6'3" tall, muscular man. He wore a light blue shirt, which clung to his muscles. His eyes were like staring into a deep blue ocean, and his hair was so dark, it blended into the night sky.
"Girls this is Darien," Mina announced as she stood up. She pointed to each of the girls. "This is Serena, Ray, and Amy. Our other friend, Lita, hasn't shown up yet."
"How are you ladies," they all nodded, "Can I get you something."
They all ordered as they heard panting and a chime from the door.
"Sorry…I'm…late." Panted a brunette leaning over trying to catch her breath.
"And that would be Lita." Mina said pointing at the brunette.
"Hi, can I get you something?" Darien asked.
"Water…please." She panted.
"I'll be right back with your orders." Darien walked away toward the kitchen.
"That Darien?" Lita asked as she sat at the table.
"Yah," Mina answered.
"Come on Lita, even Serena got here before you." Raye said is a snobbish tone, pointing towards Serena with an evil look on her face.
"HEY RAYE, I WAS HERE BEFORE YOU TOO! In fact, I was the first one here, thank you very much." Serena reminded Raye as she stuck her tongue out at her.
They started to have their usual tongue war until Darien cleared his throat loudly that stopped them mid-spit.
He snickered, "Here's your orders." He placed four plates of food and five drinks in front of the girls.
"Thanks, Darien" The five of them said in unison as he walked off waving over his shoulder.
