Summary: When Darien De Lucca walks into the life of Serena Chartwell as a new student in school, he reeks havoc upon her mind and heart. Is she willing to defy school queen and bitch, Rei, to prove to him she isn't like the latter, judging people by their looks? And what will come of her defiance? [AN: I think that is the worst summary on the face of the earth. Oh well! --;;]
Adonis I
"I cannot believe you just did that, Sere. Telling Rei off like that. You've got to be insane! You know how she gets when she's pissed. She'll make you a reject for the rest of your life and . . ." my best friend Mina droned on.
Belive me when I say that I go to the most hierarchic school in the universe. And Rei just happened to be named Queen. She decides if you're 'In' or 'Out' by just looking at you and there is no way you can change that. Only she can.
So just a few minutes ago, I yelled at her when she poured milk on Melvin just because he happened to brush past her in the cafeteria. I bet she's fuming right now at my public display of defiance. Or not . . .
Rei walked up to me with one of her so-called charming smiles plastered on her face. It couldn't get any faker.
She smiled at me 'sweetly' and said, "Sere, I didn't think the whole fiasco in the caf was called for. I GUESS I owe you an apology."
Her apologies meant nothing. They were worth a yen in the States [AN: No offense intended]. But I played along with her and forgave her under the pleading glare of Mina.
I was on Rei's 'In' side for God knows what reason and Mina insisted that I don't screw it up unless I wanted to have the most miserable high school years of my life.
I snapped back to attention when I heard Rei's annoying voice spreading a little more gossip.
"You know, I heard there's some new guy arriving today. Let's just hope he's ho-" She made the most disgusted face and turned back to me. I was hardly listening in the first place but I picked up what she said next.
"Like OMG! Don't look now but there's like the most hideous thing I've ever seen step into this school."
I turned and nearly felt my legs tremble. HE was nothing like what Rei said. The silkiest black hair, midnight blue eyes and a faint smile to make my heart melt. I could have slapped Rei for calling him hideous.
As I stared, I barely heard Rei cussing about how ugly the 'puke green' blazer was and how the glasses made him look a hundred years older and how he was totally in the 'Out' group.
I saw him reach into his bag and pull out his schedule. The second he looked down, a passerby bumped into him and a few books tumbled out of his arms right in front of me. We bent down to pick them up at the same time [AN: Not too cliched I hope?]. Our eyes met and I smiled at him. Time stopped in my mind and I held his gaze. He smiled back and it seemed as if we shared a secret that no one else could know. My fingers froze on the edge of a text book and I lost track of where I was. Rei didn't matter anymore. Rejection didn't matter anymore. That was until Mina cleared her throat exaggeratedly and kneed my shoulder. I blinked and lost sight of his hypnotizing orbs. I looked up and saw Rei glaring at me and Mina with another one of her pleading looks. I sighed and picked up his books as fast as I could and handed them to him. I turned away quickly. If I looked once more at him, I don't think I could ever pull away.
I felt his small smile fade when my back turned on him and Rei huffed past with Mina tugging me by. I heard Miss Queen say, "I can't believe they let things like that come here."
I gaped at her remark and turned one last time to see him frown. He certainly heard Rei. He met my eyes one last time and I could have sworn I saw disappointment in them.
;--; ---[ a poor attempt at reproducing Serena's meatballs]
I don't think I heard a thing around me for the rest of the day. No one could compare to him anymore. Not even Andrew who I had a crush on for a year or so.
I don't think I was obsessed. Maybe just possessed. By curiosity and . . . Can't think straight anymore. This isn't like me.
"Sere! This isn't like you to space out for ten minutes. You haven't touched a thing on your plate. You're always the first one done in ten seconds flat." Mina said with concern and a pinch of mockery to go with her last comment.
I sighed and pushed my plate away. "I'm gonna go get some air. Eat it if you want."
I got up and walked past our table. Passing by Rei, I cursed her for her evil ways. Guys were swooning, and I mean literally, in her presence. God, it was sickening. I felt her glare at me for a second and then I walked out the door.
The cool breeze felt good on my face as I walked away from the school building. I still had about forty minutes until next period and intended on spending it away from the throngs of noisy people in the cafeteria.
About four blocks away, I realized how far I had gone and stopped in front of the coffee shop. I stepped in to find it practically empty. Unusual for lunch hours. I ordered a cappucino and walked to the magazine rack. Picking up one of them, I went to sit on the plush sofa placed in a section of the shop. My order came a few seconds later and I sipped the drink slowly. My eyes scanned over the pages of the magazine, not seeing the words. The caffeine wasn't working for me.
I looked up when the little bell at the door rang and I nearly spit out the bit of cappucino in my mouth. HE had just walked in. He spoke briefly to the person at the counter and then sat at a table not far away.
I put the magazine down and then got the nerve to get up and walk over to him. He didn't look up. I pulled up a chair and sat opposite him. Maybe that would catch his attention. He glanced up form the book he was reading and then looked back down. I sighed, exasperated by his behaviour. This Adonis just had to ignore me now.
His coffee came and he sipped slowly while I watched him intently. Gradually, I felt him get annoyed.
"Aren't you afraid Rei will find you here with someone that's labeled 'Out'," he said without looking up at me. He took another sip.
I froze at his words. He seemed so cold now. I tugged at one of my signature meatball streams; something i did when nervous and such.
I straightened up and replied bluntly, "No."
He finally raised his eyes and lifted an eyebrow. I noticed he had ditched the glasses. It just added to the spectacularity of his features.
"Elaborate on that," he said without a hint of emotion.
"I don't give a damn about what Rei thinks and she can just go kiss my ass for all I care."
He tsked at me. "Such profanities coming from you. It's alarming."
I wanted to slap him there and then. His looks didn't matter at that moment. I seem to get aggravated at times and the only thing I think about is slapping someone.
"Did you want me to say something with vocabulary coming from someone with an IQ of 300?"
He lowered his eyes again but I could see mockery coming from them.
"Do you even have an IQ of 100?"
I practically screamed of irritation. I could have sworn he was doing this on purpose.
"Jerk," I muttered under my breath. I returned to my cold cappucino.
"Meatball Head."
I stared at him with hatred coming out of my eyes like lasers. That morning didn't exist in my mind anymore. The impression he made now had changed everything.
"How dare you!"
"I dare, Meatball Head."
I slammed my cappucino down on the table, making it slosh around in the process. Standing up abrubtly, I bade him a gruff goodbye.
Just before turning, I heard him say, "I know you like me, Serena."
"That arrogant pig. Ooooh, I just ought to smash his head in." I then stopped in my tracks, recalling his last words. "How in the name of God does he know my name?!?" I shrugged at the thought and continued ranting under my breath.
"Sere! Earth to Serena!" I saw a blur in front of my eyes. Something moving around frantically. Focussing, I saw a hand. Grabbing it in frustration, I yelled, "WHAT?!?!"
"I've been calling you for two minutes! What's up with you today?" Lita, another one of my good friends, stepped in front of me. The tall brunette was sporting a look of pure confusion in seeing my absentmindedness.
"Nothing."
"Nothing my ass. Mina tells me you've been acting a little weirdly today. You didn't even eat lunch!"
"Is that so surprising? I had a cappucino instead, okay?"
She raised her eyebrows at this.
"It didn't do you much good. You look as if you're sleepwalking in the streets. And to add to that, you're talking to yourself in the process! I'd think you were a psycho if I didn't know any better."
I sighed for like the umpteenth time that day.
I needed to go home. I'd just fake being sick, which wouldn't be that hard considering the state I was in and then be able to convince my mom.
"I'm going home. Call me if I have any homework." With that said I trudged away.
"But you never do your homework in the first place!" Lita called after Serena. "God that girl's lost it today."
XD XD XD XD XD
AN: HEllo to all! Thank you for reading!
I sound like a maniac there. Anyhoo, this is sorta my first fic. Well it's the first one that has a whole chapter. Hoping to get more up as soon as possible but school is a pretty big obstacle. Review for me and please send me suggestions on the plot 'cause I don't think I know what's gonna happen all the time. And warn me if it gets too corny.
I find it hilarious that Rei thinks Darien is hideous. I didn't mention his name yet but you know it's him right?
