Playing for Keeps
Chapter 2
She was wearing an Adidas jogging pants, loose T-shirt; her best pair of Nike shoes and a Lakers cap. She also brought along a body bag where she placed all her extra clothes and her own mitt and ball. Serena was ready to go!
As she opened her door and locked it, she saw a man with jet black hair and midnight blue eyes. He was carrying three big, black bags. 'Poor boy.' She said to herself. He looks pitiful. She laughed softly. 'How mean of me.'
She was intrigued with his eyes, so she stole a glance. She was held back when their eyes were locked with each other. It was as if it was telling her that she belonged in his future.
She shook her head vigorously, trying to forget and shake out the thought that she read. She didn't like it, it scares her. 'I need to go' she whispered. She was walking as fast as she could, almost running. She almost bumped into the man, almost taking him off balance.
Before he could even say anything she dashed off, but he shouted, "Hey! Watch it!" She raised her hand and waved it, then said back "Sorry!!!"
'Phew. That was close."

"Great going, Blondie." Darien said obviously annoyed. Annoyed at the girl and annoyed at the building for not having those elevators or escalators. The building is a simple one, lobby, hallways, and their simple! But once you've entered the rooms, they're extravagant!
Darien Shields has been going up and down for almost four times now, and these three bags are the last. Thank goodness. He was exhausted! He asked help from his friends Andrew, Jadeite, Zoicite, Neflite, and Malacite but according to them, they were too busy. 'I could Understand Andrew, he has a café to attend to." He whispered. "But not the rest." Then he remembered his phone calls to the four:
"Hey, Jade." He said. "Do you have time to help me carry my baggage to my new apartment?"
"Well, uh.. er.. I have a.. a.. DATE WITH RAE! Yeah a date with Rae! Yeah. So I can't help. Sorry." Jadeite replied clearly hiding something.
Zoicite on the other hand said he's got an errand that his mom told him to. Once again, hiding something! Neflite said he's got this thing to do with Malacite.
What's up with them? He sighs.
He opens the door, drops the baggage and walks slowly towards his bed and lays down, closes his eyes and opens it again. He can see his new blue wallpaper. He turns around and sees his balcony. His apartment is quite big, but the bigger the better! His apartment is clean also well equipped. He's got a television set, DVD, Laser Disc. Hmm.. way too many to mention.

It is a pleasant Saturday afternoon and in this afternoon, her training's going to start. (Why Saturday?!?!) The training will be held at the "Stadium". According to some people that she asked, it's located at the Apollo St. but she can't figure where it is.
Grr… she grumbled. I shoudda asked the receptionist in the building or at least go there a few days before the training so I wont get lost! Ahh!!! She complained. She continued walking and stopped as she saw Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten around the corner. Suddenly, a smile appeared on her face.
"Seiya, Taiki, Yaten!" She called.
The trio turned around and Seiya grinned.
"Ah. We meet again, my princess." Seiya said, bowing.
"Haha. Whatever."
"Deciding on how you look like, you seem to be going somewhere." Yaten said still smiling.
"Oh, yeah. I am going somewhere. To the Stadium. Do you happen to know where it's located?"
"Aha! You should have tried going there yesterday. You shouldn't have gotten lost today."
"Yeah , Yeah, Yeah. Stop the lecture, I know that already!" she smiled. "So, are gonna tell me where it is?" she asked impatiently.
"You look like you're in a hurry. So okay. You go straight until you see this arcade in the Arcanum St. take a left then you'll see the stadium straight ahead." Taiki directed.
"Okay! Thank you very much!!!!" she started walking and stopped again when she heard Seiya ask. "What are you playing?"
"Baseball." She continued walking.
**
The trio just watched her go. When she was far enough for her not to hear their conversation Seiya started:
"Isn't she just wonderful?"
"A little. She looks a little bit like Mina." Yaten said imagining 'his' Mina's beauty.
"You guys got it bad!" Taiki teased while shaking his head.
"You know Seiya, I can't wait to see Taiki fall head over heels over a girl. I can't wait.."
**
Finally, she reached the Arcanum St. and did see the arcade. It was packed! As she passed by it, it was noisy! What can I say? They were having fun!
Arcanum street sure is filled with activities! If you're bored, simply stop by Arcanum St. and you'll get a time of you're life! There were arcades, shops, restaurants… name it they've got it! It's a really long street that's all I can say. Ü
She reached the Stadium in the Apollo St. This street is peaceful when you compare it with Arcanum. It has it's activities but not now.
As she entered, she saw the reception.
"Excuse me." she said to the receptionist. She seems to be busy with all the papers scattered in her desk. That's unusual.
"Yes, may I help you?" she asked. The girl's got blue hair. She's thin and pretty.
"I got the letter for the training." she handed her the letter.
"Oh yes! The training." she gave back the letter. "the trainer is Mr. Shields. Go to his office. His assistant is Ms. Hamazaki will attend to you. Take a left turn there." She points at the back of Serena. And smiles. Serena thanked her.
