Author's Notes: Hello kirei minna-sama!! This is my newest story and

not!) Um, this is an A/U and therefore, makes the ages a little screwy! The

Chapter 1: The Gang and The Arch Enemies
Darien and his group of guy friends-consisting of Andrew, Chad, Greg, and Ken- were strolling down the street to the Crown Arcade fully dressed out in their black graduation robes. Darien, the tallest of the group, had ebony hair and midnight blue eyes. He stood at about 6'2. Andrew, Darien's best friend since the age of 7, was about 6'1 with blonde hair and forest green eyes. Chad, the music freak of the group, stood about 5'11 with shaggy brown hair that always fell into his bluish-gray eyes. Greg, the brainiac, had dark brown hair with dark blue eyes and he was about as tall as Chad. Ken, the quiet one, stood at about 6'0 with light brown hair and light blue eyes. This group had been together since the 4th grade and knew all about one another.
Darien, the only single one of the group, had lost his parents at the age of 6 and met Andrew when he was 7. He was studying to be a family doctor. He was the second smartest guy in school, next to Greg, of course.
Andrew was the owner of the Crown Arcade and was always working there when he wasn't in school. When he wasn't actually working he was hanging out with his friends or drawing manga. He was going to be a cartoonist someday. His main character to his newest comic strip was his girlfriend, Mina.
Chad, being the wannabe rock star he was, wanted to work in the music business. He had connections, but he wasn't good enough to be an actual 'rock-star'. If you put it into the words of his girlfriend, Raye, he bites monkeys.
Greg also wanted to be a doctor like Darien, but he wanted to be a rocket scientist. Go figure, so did his girlfriend, Amy. They planned on going everywhere together-college, work, school, etc.
Ken, last but definitely not least, was interested in many fields. He was more of a business man more than anything else. Sure, he was quiet, but he always had great ideas and planned to go into business with his girlfriend, Lita, when she graduated from high school next year.
Speaking of the girlfriends, they were all in the arcade when the guys walked in talking and chattering away. But, there was one extra girl, Serena. She was the best friends of all the guys and the girls except for Darien. They had hated each other ever since they could remember. She had crystal blue eyes with a blonde hair that was done in the most unusual hair style. It was pulled into two buns on both sides of her head with streamers of hair falling from both to about the length of her knees.
Mina, the other blonde of the group, looked almost close enough like Serena to be her twin sister. She had lighter blonde hair with the same crystal blue eyes except a little lighter. As soon as she saw Andrew she nearly screamed with excitement.
Lita, a tall brunette blessed with grace and beauty, was too busy staring at the magazine infront of her to notice that anybody walked into the arcade, never mind Ken.
Amy was indulged in her new science book. She was trying to keep herself ten chapters ahead as usual. She was the smartest girl in school and was always competing for top and second spot with Darien and Greg.
Raye, the priestess of Hikawa Temple, rolled her eyes when her boyfriend entered the arcade. She smiled lightly at him and blushed when he waved to her.
Everybody was completely fine until the guys decided to join the girls. Everybody sat next to their respective girlfriends and started chattering away which left Darien and Serena as the 5th wheels. Argument city next left.
Darien plopped down into the stool next to Serena. Serena laid her head into her hands which were held up by her elbows on the circular table infront of her. Darien sighed lightly as he leaned back into his chair trying to ignore the lovey-dovey conversations going on around him. He glanced at Serena's bored expression out of the corner of his eyes and sighed again.
"Could you stop using up all the oxygen, lame-brain?" Serena muttered, glaring at Darien from the corner of her eye.
"Sure, meatball-head," Darien replied, sighing again. He grinned lightly as she growled at him.
"I can't believe you actually graduated. Boy, they must've just pushed you through to get you out of their hair," Serena said, nonchalant.
"Actually, all of my teachers said they'd miss me," Darien countered, grinning. "Unlike you. I can't believe you're actually going to be a senior next year with all those 65's." Darien knew he hit a soft spot because Serena turned to glare at him, murder glowing in her watery crystal blue eyes. Serena wasn't stupid, she just never asserted herself. She had been passing her classes with D's and C's far too long for a teacher to ask her if she wanted help. What made it hurt even more was that the harsh words were falling from Darien's mouth. Sure, he was conceited and he was a jerk, but he still was her secret crush. They teased each other, not hurt each other.
"Well, you'd know if you'd pull your head out of the clouds of your little dream world," Serena replied, her eyes glittering softly with tears. No, she refused to cry infront of anybody, especially him. She stood up from the table, wiping her eyes. "Excuse me you guys. I have to help my mom with something."
As every watched Serena run out of the arcade, their eyes fell on Darien. He suddenly felt guilty. "What? She started it!"
"Does it really matter?" Lita asked, crossing her arms across her chest.
"Darien! How could you?" Andrew scolded, rolling his eyes.
"If she doesn't talk to us because of you I'm going-" Raye growled and nearly leapt over the table at him only to be restrained by Chad.
"Fine! I'll fix it, okay?" Darien grumbled, standing up. He waved to everybody before wandering out the door to find the blonde. He didn't have to wander far.
Serena had laid herself down on a bench not too far away from the arcade. Actually, it was only a block away. She was laying on her stomach facing the opposite way she came from, so her hair was scattered lightly across her back to catch the sun. Her white sleeveless shirt would no doubt get dirty from the bench, but so would her tan capris.
As Darien saw her he began to march towards her angrily, but it wore off as soon as he heard her whimpering into her arms. He suddenly felt the guilt wash over him again and he growled at himself for making her upset. It's not like he meant any of the stuff her said to her. He just didn't know how to have a civil conversation with her. He was so downtrodden and lonely while she was completely opposite, happy and sunny. How could he talk to a person like that?
"Are you okay, Serena?" He managed to ask, once he regained his voice. She growled at his familiar voice.
"Go away," she muttered into her arms. "I'm not in the mood for another round of merciless teasing."
"Look, I want to explain why I-"
"I don't want to hear it!" She nearly yelled. Serena sat up and whirled around to face him, her eyes burning with tears and murder. "You seem to find it amusing that I get bad grades and how I trip over everything and how I do my hair, but you never seem to notice when I'm feeling bad. You see me and automatically think that I'm in a good mood. You assume that I don't care about school or what others think of me or how immature I am. I do care! You and my friends just never seem to notice, but when I finally do, you ask me if I'm feeling okay. Well I am! I'm completely fine! So, maybe I'm not pretty or perfect and I can't walk straight! So, what! If those things matter to you more than my friendship, then I never want to see you again, Darien Shields!"
"But-"
"Just go away!" She growled at him before jumping up and storming off down the street. He sighed to himself and shook his head as he tried to remove the hurt feeling he was getting. As he turned to look up at Serena again, she was out in the middle of the road and a car was headed straight for her.
