"Wasn't that Sammy that just passed?" asked a dark haired man to his companion

"Yeah and from the looks of things, he's gotten over Jen," the driver inquisitively added as he thought of his own problems of love and hate.

"Yeah I thought I saw a blond with him."

"We'll have to see him this evening to get details," said another in the back seat.

"Leave him alone, Jen meant a lot to him. Don't mess this up for him."

"Come on Darien, we're just inquiring."

"You guys are worst than the girls in this campus," he interjected.

"Oh come on Darien... speaking of not getting over a girl, you're still not over Belinda just yet, are you!" Darien said nothing. Several months had passed and still he was stricken with heartbreak. His heart was taken by a girl who he thought returned his every emotion, then without warning. Walked away and denied that she ever loved at all. 'Crushed.'

"Shut up!" said the man in the passenger seat to the man in the back seat. "Dare, don't pay attention to him."

"Just so you know Darien," paused Michael, "WE always thought that you and Bel were never a match."

"You did?" he said motionless. "why didn't you guys tell me?"

"Yeah... well we noticed how she never really gave you her real attention... and we tried to warn you and..."

"I know..." Darien remembered the times where he didn't talk to both Mike and Sammy for talking about Bel that way.

"Sorry you had to go through that man... But you now what love does, it can cause a person to be sensibly blind."

"Besides that reddish due didn't match yours... you need something lighter so it contrasts your dark hair," Kyle had voiced behind a magazine he was busily reading.

"Where the hell did you get that?" asked Mike turning back to face Kyle. "MAXIM... this has some good stuff." Kyle held up the magazine he was reading. The three guys started laughing.

"Where the hell did you steal that?"

"The dentist."

"This is interesting... Kyle, go on.... What kind of girl do you see me with?"

"Let's see..." Kyle had brought his eyes back down in the magazine. Reading a few lines he had an idea "Sunlit Blond... nothing but blond...not brassy blond, but BLOND."

"OKAY.. we get it BLOND," said Michael.

"Stormy blue eyes," Darien found himself staring at his rear view mirror to find Kyle batting his eyes and his hands clasped together at the side of his neck. "Smart, skilled--so she can cook for you and your friends of course, beautiful and yet innocent" joked Kyle.

"Where do you suppose we find a girl like that?" smiled Darien as he played with his friend's description.

"The mall.... No the salon... no the café... where you run into her... and WHAM! Cupid's job is done!" Dreamily Kyle explained his theory as the men shook their heads in amazement of what weird friends they have.

Sammy opened the door to the room and found the room spotless, with the exception of a lone beer can on the table. "Hey this is nice," Serena started walking around. It was a very roomy town home. The living room was in the middle, and the kitchen and the rest of the area was completely open. "How can you guys afford this?"

"We work a lot Sere and of course we have our scholarships and then there's good old mom and dad," he laughed as he sat on the couch. Serena opened the refrigerator door and found it stacked with food. Serena closed the fridge and smiled.

"What?"

"Nothing..."

"Yeah... yeah.. mom told me she'll cut my allowance if you come back having lost weight." Serena laughed and stopped shortly once the door flew open. "Where is she?" Haruka looked around for his cousin.

"Haru!" yelled Serena as she ran to him. Haruka gave her a look of surprise as she made her way towards him. Haruka hugged Serena and all the while was facing Sammy. Making this gesture behind Serena's back of 'SERENA? WOW!' Sammy just smiled and nodded.

"Sere... I'm going to have to make sure we keep an eye on you," he commented as he swirled her around. "You could pass for a college student" then he stared down a bit towards her shirt "Sere... what's the big idea with the... does your mom know your wearing that?" Haruka shook her head.

"I AM NOT WEARING...." she fumed a bit, then laughed to his expression of 'they'renot?'

"Some girls have all the luck," another voice struck the room. They turned and found a blue heiress. Haruka walked quickly towards the girl and did his formal introductions.

"Michiru, I want you to meet my cousin Serena," he gestured. "Serena, my girlfriend Michiru."

"I've heard so much about you... I'm so glad you came to visit, now I can get ammo on those two from their embarrassing past," she smiled warmly as the two guys awed in frustrations. 'I like her already,' thought Serena.

"Don't worry I've got plenty" she winked towards the girl.

~ 10pm

"Hey Darien," called Mike "Where did you just come from?"

"Hey Mike, just coming in from the library," Darien lied, when in fact he had been at the lake. Darien leaned against the stairway listening to his friend. "What's up?"

"Library... uh huh..." he cocked a brow at his friend. "Anyway... Nathan and Zen saw Sammy bringing up a suitcase in his room,"

"Yeah, so?"

"They said that there was this gorgeous girl following him."

"And I want to know this because?"

"Oh come on Darien aren't you a bit curious to who this girl is?"

"Not at all, I know I don't like it when you guys meddle in my business so I'm sure Sammy would appreciate it if you leave his alone," Darien began to make his way towards his private dorm room.

Darien Shields, single, gorgeous, male specimen of a man. He was athletically built, a genius, courteous, well rounded and financially stable. Coming from a well bred family of hardworking parents, he was taught young to earn his money. He was what any parent could ask for in a son. Darien entered his dorm and leaned on the back of the couches expecting the door to open. "3, 2,1," sure enough Mike came walking in.

"Don't you know how to knock?"

"Oh.." Mike went back to the door and knocked, Darien just rolled his eyes. "Come on Darien at lease go with me to Sammy's and Haru's dorm" Just then a few others came strolling in.

"Zen, Kyle, Nathan, Greg, don't you guys know how to knock?" said Darien as he stood his ground.

The guys all went back to the door and knocked on it. "Real funny, I wonder about you guys.... Its pretty scary that you're all connected in the brain," said Darien as he sat down on one the couches.

"Come on Darien.... Can't we use your place? Just for one night?"

"I said NO... the last time I let you guys use my apartment for what ever it is you guys do in here... I found whip cream and strawberry stains all over the place.... And I still can't figure out why the hell were my kitchen utensils doing in my bathroom."

"I hope you didn't use them again." Darien made a disgusted face. "Hell no... I made sure I even had gloves to throw them away."

"Anyway, can we go and visit Sammy now?" said Mike

"Oh man, you've got to take a look at this girl... Blond hair, blue eyes.... Never seen her before."

"Now I'm curious... will you guys go with me to pay Haru and them a visit?" said Kyle. They all filed out of the room. "Coming Dare?" Darien stood there . He too was curious. 'blue eyes, blonde hair is not Sammy's type...'

"No you guys go ahead."

"Suit yourself" said the boys as the all headed towards the elevator.

"You know I'm surprised the guys aren't here looking at a new girl in Sammy's and Haru's room." Said Michiru to her boyfriend sitting comfortable on the couch.

"Those guys.... I can see why they can't find a stable girlfriend" said Sammy. "Well... If I see them making passes at her I'm gonna-" There was a knock on the door.

"I bet you that's them," Sammy went towards the door and opened it freely to see four guys standing side by side with large grins, holding up cups.

"Let me guess, Nathan needs sugar, Zen needs cream, Kyle needs the coffee and Mike needs the water?" he watched as the four bobbed their heads up and down. Sammy laughed and closed the door. He stood back a bit and counted "3...2...1..."

"Come on Sammy..... we need the caffeine!" they came walking in the dorm looking for any new blond girl laying about.

"Looking for someone?" asked Michiru

"We heard there's a new girl in here," said Mike as Nathan began to smell the room like a dog.

"Didn't I tell you to keep your dog on a leash Michael?"

"Nathan.. stop... where's this new girl?"

"What new girl?...." Haruka commented. Then in the midst of their conversation, they stopped as Serena came walking out of the room. Not even flinching or noting that she was in her lingerie. A spaghetti strap, pink silk top covered her top, but with every movement they could see the outline of the heavy set breast. Pink chiffon finished the touch as it covered from the end of the silk area to the top of her waist, showing off her navel and the lower parts of her stomach. Slinky pink boxer shorts tied around each side of her hips with the matching straps. It was short and too much leg for Haru and Sammy. Their mouths dropped and Michiru couldn't help but laugh. Serena went towards the kitchen where the guys were standing.. "Hi," she said when she passed by.

They kept an eye on her as she reached up for a glass and eyes even wider as she moved towards the refrigerator and bent down to get the milk. That's when Michiru had elbowed Haruka and brought him back to reality. He stood and grabbed the pillow he was leaning on and quickly moved towards Serena.

"Sere... go get your robe now," said Haru as she looked at the guys, covering her with the pillow.

"Haru I forgot it... what's the matter?"

"Sere..." The phone started to ring and Michiru was asked to hit the speaker button.

"Tsukino Dorm room" everyone still remained motionless as they listened to the voice.

"Is this Michiru?"

"yes... it is.."

"Hi Michiru its Irene" she said as she looked at Sammy.

"MOM!" yelled Sammy. "When the hell did Sere start wearing...lingerie?????" he asked confused.

"And when did she start developing....?" Asked Haru as Michiru rolled her eyes.

"Sammy, did you expect your sister to stay a child all her life?"

"SISTER?" said the guys!

"Is someone else there?" asked Irene... "Hi I'm Irene, Sammy and Serena's Mom. I'm also Haruka's aunt."

"Hi, Mrs. Tsu-ki-no," the men said in unison.

"Where's my Sere? I want to talk to her and make sure she got their just fine."

"I'm here mom," she said loudly the guys all looked at her but was covered by both Sammy and Haru.

"Honey... the clothes you bought from Victoria Secret arrived, the red silk matching panties, bra, and the matching robe. I didn't know you got the pink teddy too, but did you want me to send it over?" each time Irene described a piece of clothing, Zen, Mike, Kyle and Nathan's eyes grew larger and larger by the second. Serena was about to say yes before someone else answered for her.

"NO!" Haru and Sammy both yelled. The four men that stood quietly listening were entranced.

"Sammy, Haru did I ask you?"

"Mom.... She didn't even bring her robe... do you know what she's wearing right now?"

"Oh, I hope she's wearing that cute pink one that I bought her. it's so cute!" Irene giddily spoke.

"I don't believe this. My mom bought it for her" muttered Sammy. "Mom, she can't wear that here! She's in a campus full of male vultures She'll get eaten alive"

"OH stop it Sammy, you act as if she'll wear that outside... Serena honey.... Ill send your stuff over... do you need anything else?"

"My slippers..."

"bunny, moons, leopard....which one do you want..."

"Since when did you start wearing leopard print?" asked Haruka

"Since your mom," she tapped Haruka's shoulder, "sent me and the rest of the girls some leopard print tube tops and matching pants, she says it's for the band."

"Right, and you've changed the band's name to Sere and the pussy cats," muttered Sammy.

"Oh and Haru, your mom just sent these lovely outfits for the band, she even included the fish nets and leather knee high boots. She is so generous! She's on top when it comes to young fashions.... The girls are beginning to..."

"She what? My mom sent what to the girls?" Haru and Sammy had a headache forming.

"Well I better go, honey Ill send you the moon slippers. I love you!"

"Okay mom, I love you too.... Kiss daddy for me!" said Serena cheerfully leaving Sammy and Haruka bouncing back to Sammy's room.

"Sam, Haru... you better be good to her or I'll disown both of you."

The phone clicked and the guys looked towards Sammy and Haruka.

"Your sister... how old is she?" asked Mike.

Sammy and Haruka looked at the guys sternly and spoke giving them their warning. "You will not hit on my sister. You will respect my sister as if she was your own." Both he and Haruka began to slowly walk towards them. "You will not give Sere those looks... and you will certainly not ask Sere out while she is here." Nathan, Mike, Zen and Kyle started to back up. "You will not be with Sere alone... and you will not go anywhere with Sere without supervision."

"Sere will be SERENA to you. She is only 17 and is too young for any of you horny toads" Haruka and Sammy pinned the guys against the wall and was holding their cups against their chest.

"Okay, okay... we get the point."

"Hey, where's Darien?" asked Michiru

~

Darien sat in his study room. The two bedroom dorm was too large and too empty now that he was alone. There had been many good memories for him here with Bel and many tears as well. It was hard to face at first that Bel had used him for his kindness and everything he had to offer, anything she took advantage of. He was her way of having a roof without paying, having free meals without helping one bit, free tutoring in the same dorm and not worry about paying one single cent for their time. He got a slap in the face when he came home one day and found her room to be empty of everything that belonged to her. She left a letter on the bed explaining her reasons.

'I never loved you, I did what I could to get by and if deceiving you was my ways of living then I had to...'

It was crude but it was the truth. He thought about all the times when he took her out and made her feel like a princess, he never received anything more than a thank you. Not even a kiss which was all he ever asked for. When he and his band played at a local dive, he always found her flirting with other men, rather than paying attention to him. Call him selfish but he wanted sole attention from a woman. When he had his first sexual experience with her it was as if she held back or just pacified him, giving him the lack of confidence. When he had told her he loved her, she never responded. That should have been his eye opener. But love causes one to go blind until the pain blows over. So now he sat in his study room, same wallpaper, same carpet, same heartbreaking silence.
