Author's Notes:
Hello Hello minna!!! Yep, this is Rosetta, now known as the Midnight Dreamer (thanx Lady Ci!) with another fic for ya. I'm gonna try to give you something that will have you coming back for more :-) I think that this one will be an alternate reality fic (gotta love 'em). I won't tell you the plot, because that takes away from the fun of reading the story, don't you agree?
Before I go, I want to let those that don't know is that 'TA' stands for Teacher's Assistant. When you get to university, you will encounter many of those!!! :-p
If you want to see more, I need to get email(my best friend!)

Title: Astronomical-Prologue (Serena's First Impressions)
Author: Midnight Dreamer
Serena sat at her desk staring blankly at the computer screen. " Why did I ever pick this major in the first place?" *Because you wanted to prove to everyone that you are not the ditz they believe you to be, and you LOVE it!* an inner voiced whispered into her weary brain. Looking once again at the equations on the screen in front of her, Serena decided that she needed a little break. With that, she got up from her desk and went over to the window to look at the star-studded night sky.
Leaning her head against the cool windowpane, she let out the stress that had been building up during the day. As she starts to wind down, her mind thinks back to the incident in astronomy class last month(AN: yes, Serena uses her noodle!). The one that is the cause for the all the tension that she has been feeling for the past couple of days. " I guess that it is kind of rude to call him an "incident". 'Conceited jerk' would fit much better." she grinned. As she looks to the nightly heavens above, she contemplates on the event that just might change her life...
*Flashback*
"Today class, I would like to make an announcement. Your current TA, Greg has had to resign from the university for personal reasons." A collective gasp went up from the class. "However, this will not stop the amount of homework that you will receive." the professor chuckled, him being the only one to get the joke. After clearing his throat a couple of times, he continued. "We have been fortunate enough to get a replacement on such short notice. Class, may I introduce to you, Darien Centuri, a student from my advanced graduate class. Darien, would you like to say a few words?" The professor proceeded to give Darien the floor. "Well, I guess all I can say is that I'm glad to be here and I hope to assist all of you in any way that I can." Darien returned to his seat in the front row.
" Well, it seems that we have a new handsome TA Sere, what you think?" asked Mina (AN: had to put her in, she my favorite scout ;-) "That he is just another 'I think that I am superior' TA", Serena replied. Mina giggled at that, but unfortunately brought attention to her and Serena. "Is there a problem, ladies?", the professor inquired with an eyebrow raised. "No sir. There seems to be a little dust in the air. We're sorry for interrupting", Serena said, looking at the face of Darien Centuri, staring back at her before he turned around.
After class was over, Serena made it a point to introduce herself to Darien. "Hello Darien, I hope that you will be able to help me with my homework in the near future.", she smiled. Darien regarded her coolly and stiffly replied, "It's Mr. Centuri and I will be sure to assist you in any way that I can. By the way, it would be great if you wouldn't distract the other students from their studies. Some people are actually interested in the material being taught." Serena was taken aback. He made her feel insecure, and that was one emotion that she didn't want! *What got his boxers in a bunch* she thought as she mumbled "Thanks" and walked out the room.
*End Flashback*
"I refuse for him to get to me!" Serena exclaimed. After taking another look out into the night sky, she turns around and approaches the dreaded machine once more. *Even if I have to stay up all night to finish this, I will. I will not settle for anything below an 'A' on this assignment. That should wipe the smirk off his face.* As the night wore on, she worked until the first rays of dawn begin to rise over the horizon. With a yawn, she printed her assignment, stapled, and placed it in her notebook. Stretching, she got up from her desk and flopped on her bed. *That should be enough for Mr. 'I want perfection' Centuri. I will win this battle....* were Serena's last thoughts as she drifted into a light sleep.
The Next Day
*I can't believe it! I stay up until 4 o'clock in the morning and all I get is a B-! This has to be a mistake. I checked and double-checked before I turned this assignment in. I will NOT accept this grade...it seems that have to have a talk with Mr. Centuri about this...* Serena fumed. She then proceeded to shoot daggers at the back of Darien's head. She was so upset, that she didn't even hear the professor dismiss the class. She still sat there as Darien began to gather his things to leave. Suddenly, he turned around and noticed that Serena was still in her seat staring at something. *Seems she has spaced out. Well, I guess I should go see what the problem is* Darien thought to himself. Climbing the lecture hall steps, he finally reached her seat. "Miss Taylor, what seems to be the problem?" *You're about to find out, BUDDY!* "It seems that you have given me a grade that I don't feel I deserve" Serena replied. "Is that so....well how about you come to my office and see if we can clear up this confusion?" Darien inquired. *He sure is arrogant, but cute* "Thank you Mr. Centuri, this won't take but a minute. Alright, I 'm ready...lead the way." Serena said as she and Darien left the classroom together.
