Sorry for the long wait,personal life crisises.Hahaha,well anyways,here's the next chapter! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'Well,I guess I'll find out how chummy he wants to be in a few seconds.' Serena thought anxiously.He ran up to her and pulled her into a hug.

"Oh God Serena,I'm so happy to see you!"he shouted happily."I really am,"he whispered in her ear.He pulled back and gazed into her eyes.She felt her knees get weak from his touch.She could feel his abs through his black tank top.The two cheerleaders ran up panting.That's when he did it.He slowly bent down and pressed his lips softly against Serena's.At first she was,of course,surprised.But then she almost immediately responded.He brushed her lips with his tongue and she opened her mouth,allowing him entrance.Angela and Ginger stood paralyzed to the ground,watching THEIR Darien play tongue tag with another girl.Serena just couldn't get enough of Darien.She ran her hand through his thick hair.Then she grabbed his head and pulled him deeper into her mouth.He was obviously enjoying himself too.His hands on her waist moved even lower onto her hips and he pressed her up against his pelvis.He started rubbing her thighs,sending warm shivers down her spine. She was backed up against a tree and he started grinding against her.She moaned and arched her back into him.

"Should I get you two a room?"Raye smirked.Her voice brought them out of their trance and they pulled apart. Darien sweatdropped and ran a shaky hand through his hair,his other arm still around Serena's waist.

"Erm,s-sorry,I,ummm,guess we got carried away."Ginger looked at him in disbelief.Then she looked Serena up and down.

"Why would you want that when you can have this,"she said while leaning forward to make sure he could see her cleavage.Mina obviously noticed her doing this and Serena's clenched jaw.

"You shouldn't bend over any farther Ginger,you're socks might fall out,"she said while smirking. Ginger turned crimson.

"I d-don't s-stuff my bra!"she cried.

"Yes you do,"Mina said cooly."You must've forgotten that Serena and I are both on the volleyball team and your giant padded bra fell out of your locker. Along with the socks taped to the inside."Ginger turned even more red,if that was possible.Angela sniggered quietly.

"I don't stuff MY bra,"she boasted."Wanna check for yourself Darien?"She giggled and walked up to him.Then she stood on her tiptoes(AN.remember, Darien is pretty tall.)and pecked Darien on the lips.Darien put his finger on his lips and wiped them off in disgust.But something in serena snapped.

"What the HELL did you just do that for?!"she screamed at Angela,who was looking rather pleased with herself.

"Well obviously to show Darien that I'm a MUCH better kisser than your nasty self."Serena could not take it anymore.She raised up her fist and punched Angela square in the nose.Angela flew backwards and landed on the ground,blood squirting from her nose and crying.Then Serena walked over to Ginger who was looking at her fearfully.Serena ripped off Ginger's bra and sure enough,there were socks taped to the inside of it."Bitch you better stay away from my man or you'll succomb to the same fate as Angie over there. Ginger was beyond mad now.She swung at Serena but Serena grabbed her arm and then hit Ginger in the eye.Ginger started crying,grabbed Angela,and ran off towards the parking lot.Mina and Lita were grinning,Amy had a faint smile,and Raye didn't look surprised.Darien was staring in disbelief at Serena.

"Way to go Rena!"Mina shouted,breaking the silence.

"Well,I don't approve of violence,but I have to admit,they DID have it coming,"Ami said quietly.

"Yeah,"Lita agreed."Especially Angela.I mean,how dare she even THINK of kissing him!What a whore!"Darien walked over to Serena,who was breathing heavily and had her back to him.She was watching the spot where the two girls ran from.His arms snaked around her waist and he felt her body tense up,but then relax.He looked at her face and saw a few tears falling down her gorgeous face.

"Serena..."he whispered into her ear.She could feel his hot breath on her neck and she shuddered."Serena,what's wrong?"The other girls decided to let them have some privacy while they talked and they went off towards the school. Serena saw all her friends walking away and she leaned against Darien's chest.The walked over to the tree and Darien lay down.Serena did too and she put her head on Darien's chest.He stroked her cheek with his thumb and she began to cry again."Serena,what am I doing wrong?"

"I-it's not you Darien,it's...it's me."She hiccuped through her tears."I beat them up because...because..."she trailed off,not finishing her sentence.He brushed her tears away with his thumb.

"Because why Rena?"

"Because I don't want to pretend anymore!"she yelled and then she ran off towards the school.Darien sat there in shock.'Ok,let's contemplate this,'he thought.'First,we make out like there's no tomorrow.Then,she beats up two girls who were coming on to me.THEN,she says she doesn't want to pretend anymore.Sounds to me like she really likes me.But no,she couldn't could she?She couldn't possibly like me.Oh I get it,she hates me.Well,that's great...'He heard the first bell ring and walked off towards the school,still deep in thought.

~Serena's first hour(world geography)~

Mrs.Baisler,the teacher,was giving the class a lecture about the terrain of Greece.Serena of course,wasn't paying attention.She had her head to the side staring out the window.She had just recently run out of tears and her cheeks were still stained."Serena,Serena!"Molly hissed in her ear.

"Huh?"

"The bell just rang you retard,go to your second hour!"

"Oh,thanks Molly."Serena slowly got up from her chair.Her next hour was astronomy and anyone could take that class.Darien was in that class.He was the last person Serena wanted to see right now.But she didn't really have a choice,unless she wanted to skip.She had never skipped in her life.'Oh suck it up Serena and go to the damn class!'her conscience yelled.So she did.She quickly walked into the class and took her seat in the back.About two seconds later Darien came in.Serena pretended not to notice and started slowly taking her materials out of her backpack.The bell rang and Darien sat down next to her.The teacher had yet to come in.

"Serena,"he whispered in her ear.She shivered and kept looking at her feet."We need to talk."

"What is there to talk about?I thought I made myself clear!"she hissed.

"Well you didn't.All you said was you didn't want to pretend anymore.That could mean LOADS of different things.I want to know what you meant."

"Well you'll just have to figure it out yourself,"she said coldly as the teacher walked in.

"Settle class,settle down!"Ms.Togra said.She was a dumpy little teacher who wore too much eye shadow.She had on a pink floral knee length skirt that had slits up to her thighs,showing off her cream colored pantyhose.She had on a pink cardigan that didn't match her skirt and black clicky shoes.Her earings were green(of all colors!)and dangly.'I bet her pantyhose are riding up her butt.'Serena thought angrily as the teacher handed out their assignment. Ms.Togra was only 23.Serena thought even SHE could teach the class better than Ms.Togra.Suddenly a note was on Serena's desk.She figured it was from Darien and was hesitant to open it,afraid of what would be in there.But alas, through her fears she managed to open it,carefully so as not to rip it.

Serena,
I don't know why you said that this morning.All I can think of is you must really hate me and you can't stand to be around me.That would crush me if you felt that way.It would kill me more than you could ever know Rena.The reason is...well I have feelings for you.I've had them for awhile but I'm sure you wouldn't be able to tell by the way I used to treat you.I've always been afraid to love,to open my heart to anyone.But you Serena,you found the key to unlock this precious emotion and make me feel things I never thought I would feel.I feel so complete when I'm with you and I don't know what'd I do if you hated me.I'm really sorry about the way I used to treat you.I only did it because I was scared.Scared that if I let you into my heart that I would only be dissapointed.And if it turns out you hate me,well then I guess I WILL be dissapointed.But I don't regret opening up to you.I'm glad that I was able to love.I guess the saying "Better to have loved and lost then never to have loved at all."is true.I just hope that I haven't lost you.So if you can please forgive me for the way I used to treat you and maybe you could be my friend.I promise I won't try to force you to love me.Just please give me one last chance.

Love Always,
Darien

Serena was once again in tears by the time she had finished reading the letter.She could not believe what she just read.She looked over at Darien but he was busy doing his work.'Figures.'she thought glumly.So she took the opportunity to study him.His dark ebony hair was falling into his ocean blue eyes.His brow was furrowed in concentration and his lips were slightly pouted.Serena had to stiffle a giggle.He had honey colored skin and Serena looked back to his lips.They were perfect for him and she just wanted to ravish them with her own.The bell rang and she jumped in surprise.She put her stuff back in her bag,all the while keeping an eye locked on Darien.She watched him walk out the door and quickly ran up behind him.She silently followed him to his locker and waited while he got his book.Then he shut the locker and turned around.Serena quickly pressed her lips against his.He was surprised at first but then he pressed back just as firmly.His hands wandered down her back and landed on her hips.Hers,in the meantime,went up to his hair.Darien felt her getting weak and reluctantly pulled away.She started gasping but smiling none-the- less.He placed a few more light kisses on her lips then leaned back against his locker.Their little make out session had attracted quite an audienceHe grinned boyishly at her .

"Well,I see you got my note."She giggled and blushed.

"Oh Darien,of course I got it.And no I don't hate you,as you could tell from just now."She blushed again."In fact,I feel the exact opposite about you."He raised an eyebrow.

"Oh?And what,"he said slyly,pulling her against his chest,"is the exact opposite of hate?"

"This,"she said.Then she pulled his head down and kissed him tenderly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!
