"It was nice meeting you" said Serena as the owners of the international multi million dollar company strutted out of the study.

After Darien had arrived they had quickly left saying that they had business to attend to. She figured business meant the company. Darien had glared at them on there way out. Something she didn't understand. She couldn't even yell at her father. Serena made an assumption that Darien didn't want 'the parentals' talking to the crazy smart girl with a social statue of one point loser encase they happens to say something that Darien didn't agree with it.

She guessed that it came with being popular a high school and having statue internationally or he was just being a jerk, which was something that didn't surprise her in the least. That was after all the kind of guy Darien was and will most likely probably always be like. No chance of that changing. Darien's voice bough her back down to reality and out of her swirling mind of thoughts.

"Lets get this over with." he snarled in result of her meeting his parents and finding out that Serena's father was an employee at his parents company.

"Couldn't agree more" Serena replied with a sweet innocent yet dangerous smile.

They got to work on there project. It was on Mexico and it was all turning out very well despite their differences, socially and just all out completely. Serena turned another page in her book to read about the rebellion in Mexico between them and Spain so they could gain their independents to become a free country with out Spain's leadership.

"So my sister says your on the cheer thing." said Darien.

"Cheer squad and yes. I am" replied Serena.

"I guess you will be at the next game than"? questioned Darien.

"I guess I will." smirked Serena.

"You never seemed the type"

"Are we really going to have this conversation again about what I am and what I'm not. Like I said before you don't know me and you never will because we are just too different. I have five dollars in my wallet right now with last weeks horoscopes. You most likely have several hundred if not thousand's of dollars with a few packets of condoms. I own a skateboard to get to and from school. You own a Bentley. My clothes come with a discount yours come with a thousand dollar receipt. I live in a low income area and you live in the hills. So stop pretending you can relay or question what I am and what I'm not because you have no idea." said Serena bringing out an updated but recycled speech.

"Now are you really going to go in this 'we are so different' speech again"? asked Darien.

"I guess we are." snarled Serena.

"Well you probably are right about what is in my wallet and you really only have five dollars"? said Darien with surprise.

"Not every is filled out with money you" Serena informed him.

"Yet you go to East high. One of the most expensive schools in the country with ninety-eight percent of the school having a rich heritage. How did you end up in East high"? asked Darien.

"Simple my father got a transfer to the main building of his sector and East high is the only school around for miles" confirmed Serena.

" Where did you used to live"? asked Darien.

"West side of the city" answered Serena.

"So you either when to West high or West Archer high" questioned Darien raising his eyebrows. This was the kind of conversation that Serena looked forward to avoiding this conversation but she didn't think she would have the conversation with him.

" Where do you think? West Archer high. If I was from West high I think the whole school would be torturing me a hundred times more than what they already are" lied Serena.

"Good to know because West high is the worst a person can ever get. Only white trash and idiots attend the west"

"NO we are not. We……………….."

Darien double taked

"What"? asked Darien.

"What"? said Serena

"What"?

"What"?

"What"?

"What"?

"Oh you said West high. Sorry I thought I heard Archer in there" said Serena with a nervous smile. She mentally slapped herself for that little slip up. She was really starting to push it.

"Yeah I guess being referred to a trashing school would annoy anyone" said Darien with disgust.

"Who the hell do you think you are to even think of calling West high trash……….(Serena could not believe what she was saying)……….Wh-wh-en they are much worst than that. Seriously is that the best you can come up with for that pathetic excuse of a school" Serena laughed hoping he believed every word of it. He seemed to take it.

"Well I guess we finally found common ground" smirked Darien.

"I-I-I guess we have" stuttered Serena but Darien didn't seem to notice.

They soon finished up the project and it was ready to be handed in. Surprisingly it had only taken a few after school meetings just to finish it. Serena had started to load her bad up with all her things and now that the project was done, she could return to normalcy and get out of the stoplight of Beryl torture. She hoped that now that she didn't have to spend time with Darien anymore, Beryl changed her mind on her stupid assumption that she could in anyway be a threat to regaining that relationship that was over in seventy-two hours.

Than maybe they could form some kind of tolerances. But knowing Beryl, she would probably be on her 'she must die' list from now and to the rest of eternity. When Serena finally finish packing everything up surprisingly Rei walked in and smiled at Serena. She was amazed that Rei wasn't out shopping or whatever it was rich popular girls did.

" Hey Serena. You working on the assignment"? she questioned.

"Yeah. Just finished" she replied back.

"Okay good because you need to help me with making the new routine and fast. Regional is coming up and we are so gonna winner with the routines you come up. I mean I look back on the stuff you did at West high, wow" said Rei but than a nervous face was pasted on Serena's face.

"Yeah West Archer was pretty good" said Serena covering Rei's slip up. At least she knew that she wasn't the only one having a hard time overing. Rei caught on quickly was Serena was putting across.

"Oh yeah, I mean the squad there has always been in the top as well. "smiled Rei innocent.

Serena took matters into her own hands before either her or Rei actually managed to slip up again but than again Serena was on a slipping count of two and Rei was only on one. Anymore mess ups and it would become obvious about what school Serena really transferred from and with the king of East in the room she didn't need that happening.

"Well we should go over steps and modify some of Beryl's steps in her routine" said Serena and she, with out thinking grabbed Rei's hand and ran out of the room to the hall but before she got to the door she said " Bye Darien" trying to make a smooth exit of leave. If it indeed passed as smooth she wasn't sure.

"I'm sorry Serena" said Rei once they had left the hall and had began to head to the gym that was located in the north wing of the mansion.

"No big deal. I already did that only I did it twice" said Serena with a friendly smiled.

"Well lets run some steps, I can't wait to ditch B's routine" said Rei

"B" ? questioned Serena with confusion.

"Trust me after spending all the time in the same room with her you are never gonna want to call or even hear her name. So we started calling her B and she didn't mind but little does she know that B actually stands for Bitch not her actual name " giggled Rei.

"Wow and you actually escaped the any evil glare from the fire queen herself" laughed Serena.

That ran steps till it was time for Serena to hit the road and catch the bus but Rei had other ideas.

"My car is in service so Darien can take you home" said Rei.

"I don't think that's a good………………………..idea" Serena said but she had already ran out of the room. Rei came back three minutes later.

"Just give it ten minutes oh and I hear your going to ball this Saturday so before the game on Friday West versus Johansson come shopping with me, Mina, Ami and Lita. It will be a lot of fun" said Rei. Friday happened to be tomorrow. Serena had completely forgotten about the ball.

"Oh and my brother and you the guys had planned go to the game, you stack out the competition but because of the ball they have to out buy clothes and my father has my him doing something that night. So all is good. Oh you friend Claire invited me to the game to see you in proper action so put on your best show. It just gonna b me and the girls there to see you." said Rei.

"Oh so that's what the conversation was in on the phone with Claire." said Serena.

Darien walked into the room with his keys in his pocket it was obvious to her that he definitely would want to be doing other things than give her a life home but she guessed that Rei has made him suck it up and just do it or something along those lines. She wasn't sure but either way she wasn't taking the bus today and for that she was happy. Even if it meant having to be in Darien's unhappy presences.

******************************************************************************************

The drive was quiet and Serena didn't feel in the mood to make conversation and by the looks of it neither did Darien. But she soon go anger seeing how angry Darien seemed to be and how his hands seemed a lot harder than was needed on the wheel. So she decided to say something so calm the guy done before they had some kind of freak accident due to his rage.

"Look I know you probably have something else to do than drive me home but it ended up like this so can you please just relax or something. Or starting to freak me out." said Serena.

"Yeah well you could have walked." said Darien

"Oh so that really is what its about. Look relax its just ,what?, ten minutes of your life. I'm sure you will make it up in getting drunk or getting laid" snarled back Serena.

"Don't talk to me like that. I could make your life a living hell because I have the power over the school to do that" Darien said more calmly than his last sentence but the anger was still there in his voice.

"I don't doubt the 'power'(empathising on the power in her speech) you have over the school but my life is already heading down living hell track at East." said Serena. Darien pulled up at the address she had given him and for some reason she had given him her actual address.

"Thanks for the ride" said Serena and she quickly got out of the car and went inside so she didn't have to be in the same space as Darien. She watched his car staying in the drive way for a few minutes as he looked at the house from what she could see from looking out the window without him seeing her. She bet that he had the words cheap and poor running in his mind as he looked at the house she lived in. After about five minutes he drove away and Serena felt like she could breath again.

There, I am finally finish. I really wanted to finish before tomorrow because I have to go do my traineeship and I knew I would be to tired to update anyway I hope you enjoyed this. Oh my reason for his rage is true but I really wanted to get that nice guy out of peoples minds that he has seemed to have in my last few chapters. I wanted him to be the bad boy behind the wheel. Anyway I hope you all liked it

Okay I just went and looked over the mistakes sent to me bymangamania. Who always seems to be looking out for me and catching my mistakes. Its good to know so I have looked over the mistakes checklist and changed them

Thanks again
