Darien plays in his father's little game of revenge, but how long will he be able to last in this game? Soon, he starts to develop true feelings for Serena.

Author's Quick Note: I hope nobody forgot my story already; but just in case you did, let's recap a bit.
-/-/-/-/-/- A Quick Recap -/-/-/-/-/-
I was deep in thought for a minute or two, and then I said, "Ok, I'm in, so…what's the plan?" I watched as my father smiled evilly, and as he pulled out a notebook from his desk drawer. Finally, he said, "Well, son, here's the plan. We will start the plans on the first day of school. All you need to do is act as if you really like her, even though you don't. Finally, when the time is right, you break up with her and ridicule her with me as she drowns in her misery. Well, what do you think? Is revenge sweet or what?"
I thought about it for a moment, and I asked myself, 'Should I really get involve in all of this? After all, I wasn't the one that got in the fight, but I don't want to let my father down. Ugh, there are so many decisions to make.' After asking myself that question, I said, "I think the plans are good, and that they will work really well. Revenge is sweet…I guess." I watched as my father smiled again, this time in pure happiness, and then I left his office and went back to my room.
To be continued?!…

~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: The First Day of School (Monday) :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
Today was the first day of school for Serena. She trotted to school while eating her breakfast. When she caught the glimpse of the time on her watch, her face showed signs of panic as she raced off to her infamous destination, which is school.
While running to school, Serena bumped into a rather hard something or someone. She got up quickly and apologized to whomever it was that she bumped into; and without looking to see who it was, she ran off. Before she could run off, though, the man, who she had bumped into, grabbed her wrist and spun her around to face him. He said, "Hi Serena!" Finally, when she looked up at him, she recognized him as the new next-door neighbor who she could not speak to because her father said so.
*/*/*/*/* Flashback to last week of summer (Friday) *\*\*\*\*
'Finally, tomorrow is the first day of school; the day I've been waiting for', thought Serena sarcastically, 'I really think that I CAN wait for tomorrow to come.' Serena was at home watching TV until her parents came home, that is.
When her father came home, he was grumpier than usual; and after he unpacked his briefcase, he sat down on his favorite armchair and said, "Serena, in order to prevent the argument between our neighbors and us from getting worse than it already is, I want you to ignore our neighbors. Do not even say 'Hi' or anything because, knowing Joe, he would have a plan or two up his sleeve. Do you understand me?"
After sighing quietly, Serena replied, "Yes, dad, I understand." After her reply was said, her father said approvingly, "I'm glad that you agree with me on this. Well, now, you may go upstairs to your room and watch TV." Serena asked, "Why do I have to go upstairs to watch TV? I was here first anyways." Upon hearing those words of 'disrespect', her father said strictly with authority, "Look, I am the older one; therefore, you should respect me. Now, scurry off little'un." After the statement of authority was stated, Serena huffed out a sigh and walked up the stairs.
She headed towards her room; and when she finally reached it, she went in, locked the door, and sat on her bed. She pondered if it was possible to ignore Darien, since she heard that he was going to the same school as her. She also wondered if the agreement with her father would work out because she liked Darien since the first day she set her eyes on him from her window, but she would have to make this agreement work out somehow because she did not want to let her father down. Sure she let her father down by her grades and klutziness, but she knew that this agreement was something she could do.
*/*/*/*/* End of Flashback *\*\*\*\*
After a few moments of silence, Darien said, "Are you going to answer me?" As soon as he said that, Serena thought, 'Let's see…to talk to you…or…not to talk to you? Well, if I talk to you, I'll let my father down, but he'll never know as long as I don't talk to you outside of school. If I don't talk to you, then I will be obedient. Oh well, I'll just do what my heart tells me to do, and it says, "Yes, go and talk to that handsome man standing in front of you, but don't get caught."
With her questions answered, she looked around quickly, and then she looked back at him and said, "Hi Darien! Um… do you think you can let go of my wrist because I'll be late for school if you don't." Darien quickly let go of her wrist and offered to run with her to school since they are going to the same school. With the offer accepted, they raced off to school.

Both of them arrived at school and barely made it to class. They took their seats, which were across from each other, and talked a little since the teacher had not arrived yet. They talked to each other and found out a lot about each other. Before any of them could ask each other more, the teacher walked in. Every student eyed the teacher's every move. The teacher looked extremely dreadful. Her hair was swept up into a messy bun with many strands of hair falling to her face as if she just woke up and didn't bother to comb her hair. She looked half awake, and her clothes were too casual to be called professional.
The teacher took a seat on her desk, looked directly at the students, and said, "Students, you may have free time. Please leave to your next class when the bell rings." With that said, the teacher put her head down on her desk and drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
With free time announced, all of the students switched seats and started to talk once again. Serena and Darien both asked each other personal questions like 'Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?' and many other general questions. Before the bell rang, Darien asked, "Well, Serena, it was great getting to know you. Uhm…since you don't have a boyfriend, uhm…I-I was wondering if…you would want to be…my girlfriend;…I understand if you don't…" After forgetting all about the fight with the neighbor and the agreement with her father, she said, "Sure. I'd love to be your girlfriend." With that said, she left to her next class, leaving behind a stunned looking Darien.
The next class went by swiftly and, coincidentally, Darien was in that class too. He waved as he passed by Serena, and he took a seat behind her. This class was math, the hardest one of all. Today's math lesson was just an introduction to the new curriculum and what everyone would learn throughout this year. Finally, when that class was over and the introductions done, it was recess time.
~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~: Recess Time :~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~:~
At recess time, Serena and the group hung out under a large oak tree. They talked about the latest gossip…well, actually Mina did. Amy talked about how easy some of the advanced classes were. 'Well, that is just typical Amy,' thought Serena. Lita and Rei talked about the extracurricular class that they are taking together, which is karate. 'Well, that is typical for Lita, and…Rei…I guess,' thought Serena again.
Being aware that Serena has been suspiciously quiet, Mina decided to do some exploring, so she asked, "So…Serena, why are you being really quiet? Did something happen in your first period class?" Serena replied quietly, "Yes, something did happen in my first period class and that is why I'm being really quiet…I guess."
Listening to every word Serena said, Mina reacted by jumping up and down excitedly and by saying, "I knew something happened, so tell me what happened." Serena looked around and noticed that this group was receiving many stares mainly because Mina was still jumping up and down. She quickly turned around and said, "Mina, I'll tell you what happened if you'll quit jumping up and down and keep your voice down." Mina agreed quickly and said, "Well…" Serena let out a sigh and said, "Well, to make this story short, Darien asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said 'yes'."
The whole group gasped in shock. When Rei came back to her senses, she asked and smirked, "Aren't your parents in a fight with Darien's dad? Don't tell me you forgot about that." Serena gasped and replied, "Oops!…I must've forgotten about the fight and the agreement." Finally, Amy came back to her senses, she asked, "Well, what are you going to do now that you're his girlfriend?" Serena replied, while dumbfounded by a new dilemma, "I don't know."
/*-+ Darien's POV +-*\
While everyone else was enjoying their recess time, I headed to the restroom with my backpack in hand. I made sure no one was in the restrooms before I locked it, and that the windows were shut. Once those were done and made sure of, I took out my cell phone from my backpack, and I called my dad.
My father said, "Hello?" After the questionable greeting, I replied, "Hi dad! For your information, the first part of the plan has been carried out." My dad laughed mischievously, and then he said, "Son, you must be really good with charming people. Well, now that the first part has been carried out, you should plan some dates that way it'll seem more romantic." After thinking about the idea for a minute or two, I said, "That sounds like a great idea and a plan." With that said, I hung up. Deep inside my heart I heard a voice saying that it wasn't a good idea for me to pretend to like someone and turn them on especially when I do not like them, but can consciences ever be wrong?

It looks like Serena is now his girlfriend. What will Serena do now? What will happen next? Will Serena get caught? How will Serena escape her house to go on the dates? Are consciences ever wrong? Dom … Dom … Dom …
