Chapter 2:
Now Serena couldn't lie. She was very nervous as she walked up the steps. After her conversation with Sammy, she went to go see Seiya. She had to admit that he did a good job. She was worried that she might not pull it off; she was a girl after all. Her brother helped her a little bit by showing her different ways that guys act. According to her brother, it shouldn't be hard for her since she is a tomboy.
She finally made it to the end of the stairs and saw a huge school. It had a statue of what seems to be the founder of the school. She walked into the school and took out a piece of paper. She was assigned a roommate. His name was Darien Shields. She found her new room and was very afraid to open the door. As she opened the door, she saw this drop dead gorgeous guy. He had, what looked to be the softest, jet black hair and killer midnight blue eyes.
"Hi! You must be Samuel Tsukino. Am I right?" He said with a boyish grin on his face.
After a few minutes, she finally remembered that she was supposed to be her brother. "That's right. Call me Sammy. Samuel makes me sound to old for my taste." She said in the deepest voice she could master.
"No problem dude. Settle down and I'll be right back." Darien said as he walked out of the room.
She let out a breath. She hadn't realized that she was holding her breath the whole time. She couldn't believe that the hottest guy ever was her roommate. She knew that this was going to be harder than she thought. She had to play it cool. She had to remember that through his eyes, she was a guy and nothing more.
She sighed. She started to unpack. By the time Darien got back she was putting posters on her wall.
"So you like Ronaldinho and Messi?" He said with a killer smile.
"Yeah. I love soccer. It's my favorite sport." She said in a comfortable tone.
"Really? Well I'm this year's captain for the school's Soccer team. Are you coming to the try outs?" He asked very curiously.
"What day are tryouts?" She asked.
"Tryouts are I two days but don't worry, I'll put in a good word for you." He said like if he had everything under control.
"I'll be there," She said very confidently. In reality, she was asking herself what if she's not good enough.
"Now that we have that out of the way. The guys are outside kicking the ball around how about you show them and me what you can do." He said.
"Sure, sounds like fun, let me just change into some sweats and I'll be right there." She said.
"Great. Don't take too long. These guys are very impatient." He said in a serious tone.
She changed faster that you could say "Penalty Kick." She jogged to the field to come face to face with 9 guys.
"About time, and here I thought I was going to turn 60 before you got here," Darien yelled out from the crowd in a sarcastic voice.
" Yeah…very funny Dare." Serena replied back.
"Anyways, Sammy, I would like you to meet my friends. This is my best friend Andrew. Then it's Greg, Ken, Justin, Zack, Chris, Jason, Matthew, and lastly but definitely not least, Charlie," as he finished he faced the and said, "Guys, this is my new roommate Sammy, he'll be playing with us today to make things even."
"Can he play?" Serena heard Andrew comment.
"We'll find out, won't we? Let's get to it," Darien said hoping that he was right about this kid.
After picking teams, Serena ended up being in Andrew's team. It seemed that the guys had no confidence in her abilities. She'll have to prove them wrong. Andrew put her in as a midfielder. She was happy about that because that was her favorite position. She was opposite of Darien and was a little nervous to take on the 6 foot hottie. After all, she was only 5'5.
The game started. Serena got the ball. Darien charged at her, so sure that he will get the ball with no problem but to his surprise, she faked left and went right. She left him with his mouth open. He was shocked that a rookie would do that to him. She passed the ball to Andrew who did some tricks of his own and passed it back to Serena. Serena at this point was in the perfect position to score. And surely enough she made the perfect corner kick. The guys couldn't believe it. This kid was good. Andrew ran to Serena hugged her and couldn't help but celebrate.
Darien walked up to her and said, "You're pretty good. Definitely have some talent."
Serena couldn't help but smile. She was one step closer. She was in good terms with the players. Hopefully the same will happen with the coach.
After the game was over, Serena and Darien walked to their room and discussed the game.
"So where did you learn those moves," Darien asked
"Promise not to tell anyone," She said seriously.
"I promise," He looked just as serious.
"I learned it from my twin sister, Serena." She said truthfully.
"You have a twin sister? Wow! Is she in the school too?" Darien asked.
"Actually, she is starting at Callahan's in October. To bad she can't start here…huh?" Serena said sadly. "She loves soccer more than I do and she is a better player than I'll ever be," she continued. She wasn't lying. She was a better player than Sammy. He hated sports and kicked like a little girl.
"I would love to meet her. She sounds great." Darien said.
"You will someday." She said hoping that day was soon. She liked Darien.
