Chapter 2-A Friendship is Made

Darien placed the sleeping girl into his red sports car and stared at her. 'She looks so beautiful when she's asleep.' Darien thought. Then, Serena began to wake up.

"Sammy what are you… wait I'm not in my bed. I'm in a car? Where…?" Serena looked up at Darien confused and scared.

"It's ok Serena. You fell asleep…" He would have said 'in my arms' but it would have sounded like he loved her or something. "in my…lap…while you were crying."

"Why were you looking at me like that? You better not have been thinking about what I think you were thinking about."

"No! I would never. I'm no pervert or anything. You just looked like my prin -…someone I had seen in my drea -… just someone I had seen before."

"Darien finish what you were going to say." Serena had a good idea what he was going to say.

"It's nothing."

"Were you going to say 'princess' and 'dream'?"

"Well…"

"Don't lie."

"Yes ok happy."

"Yes." Serena smiled. It was funny how she had gotten her way with him.

"I should get you home it's late." Darien said getting into the driver seat.

"Oh my god! What time is it?"

"Midnight." Darien joked.

"What?!" Serena screeched.

"I'm kidding it's like 8 or something."

"Oh thank god! If my dad found out I was in the park with an 18 year old boy, alone, with a 19 year old guy, at night, with a 20 year old man!" Serena was hysterical.

"Serena calm down. First off I'm 19 and second I'm going to drop you off about a block away from your house so that your parents will never know. Unless you tell them. Ok?" Darien said getting his keys out.

"Ok. Wow! This is the longest we have ever gone with out fighting."

"Yeah you know I think my hearing is coming back." Darien said joking.

"Ugh! I think I'll have a voice from now on."

"Ok, ok, I quit. I think we have a good thing here. This friends thing. Tell you what. I'll try not to call you Meatball head if you try not to run into me anymore deal?"

"Deal!" Serena said happily. "I think I'll walk home thanks though. You know I need to get my exercise if I'm not going to have school for 2 weeks. Night!" Serena gave him a peck on the cheek and hopped out of the car. Darien didn't have any time to say anything but bye. Then he heard a piercing scream.

"Serena!" Darien jumped out of his car.
