Chapter 6: New Friends. Lunchtime Troubles.
Serena sat down under a large, shady maple tree with her lunch to wait for her three fellow idols. She looked around and saw two guys heading her way. She thought, 'They look like seniors. Don't tell me their coming over here to.Oh no, they are.' The two reached Serena and she quickly put on a reluctant, but fake-cheerful smile. "Hi. What can I do for you guys?"
The two young men grinned at each other. "Hey, I'm Joey Wheeler and this is Tristan Taylor. We're third year students." Serena thought, 'Ha! I was right, they are seniors.' The blond guy continued, "You're Serena Kou right?"
"Yeah, that's me. What do you want?"
"Well, I'm not busy tonight so I figured we could go out tonight. What d'you say baby?" Joey said in a low, husky voice.
"Hmm.let me think about that.Hmm." Serena pretended to be thinking about what he said. "Hmm.How about, no?" She smiled sweetly up at the boys. "I'm already taken."
Joey looked startled. He quickly hid it, but not before Serena glimpsed it. "What? No one EVER says no to me. Not even if they have boyfriends. So let's try it again okay? We're going out tonight, right?" He said menacingly.
"No. Who would wanna go out with an arrogant jerk like you? I mean, come on, you totally gross me out." Serena said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, loving how this guy was acting.
"Why you." Joey started closer to her, but a hand caught his arm and roughly shoved him back again.
"If you mess with her, you mess with me," the guy said letting go of Joey's arm.
Serena sighed. "Seiya, I can take care of myself."
"I know that. I just didn't want another guy getting the worst end of your temper, again," Seiya said, still glaring at Joey. "Get outta here. Unless you want some trouble," he told Joey who was glaring back at him. Joey hesitated and then finally walked away, Tristan following close behind.
Seiya watched them leave, then relaxed, and sat down next to Serena. "So, how did you manage to get rid of your fans?" Serena asked Seiya with a grin.
"I just told them that I would be signing autographs after school in front of the school if they left me alone. As well as you guys."
Serena laughed. "I figured."
Seiya grinned at Serena and the two leaned in to kiss each other. Almost immediately as their lips touched, there were gasps from around the courtyard. Seiya and Serena gently ended their kiss and Seiya grinned. "Looks like we're found out."
Serena smiled. "Looks like it," she agreed and felt Seiya squeeze her hand. She looked around with a small smile on her face and saw girls whispering urgently to one another, sending glances towards the newly-found-out couple. Serena even saw a a few glares sent her way, but she ignored them. Serena turned back to Seiya. "So where are Yaten and Taiki?"
Seiya pointed to the two young men who had a large crowd of girls following right behind them as the two headed towards Seiya and Serena. "Does that answer your question?" He grinned.
Serena shook her head at him as she grinned back and then put on a serious face and yelled out, "Hey girls! Leave them alone for the rest of the day okay? They'll be giving out autographs after school if you do!" Their fans quickly dispersed and a relieved Yaten and Taiki sat down in front of them.
"Thanks Sere. I don't know how much longer I could have stood it." Yaten sighed and took a bite of his favorite sushi rolls.
Taiki rubbed his temples. "Yeah, thanks. I was starting to get a headache."
"You're welcome. But you're on your own this afternoon." Serena grinned.
"Oh well, at least we have three more hours of peace and quiet." Taiki said as he started on his lunch.
"So Sere, how was your day so far?" Yaten asked her.
"It was pretty good. I met a girl in class that seemed really nice. Her name's Ami Mizuno." Serena unwrapped her sushi roll from its plastic covering.
"What?! You met her?! Really?!" Taiki was excited, but then he noticed the looks he was getting from Yaten and Seiya and turned slightly red.
"She and I talked and she didn't even ask a single question about you guys," Serena said happily.
The three guys looked at Serena and then looked at each other. All three turned back to Serena and exclaimed at the same time with great disbelief, "What do you mean she didn't ask even ONE question about us?!"
"You heard me," Serena said innocently. She bit into her food and chewed slowly.
"How can she not ask you anything about us?! We're supposed to be the hottest guys around!" Yaten exclaimed. Taiki and Seiya nodded their heads in agreement, serious expressions on their faces.
Serena swallowed. She looked at the three of them and burst out laughing. "You guys are so full of it! Get over yourselves. You should know that some girls do have boyfriends and crushes."
"Well, okay so we're not always the first on girls' minds, but she didn't ask even ONE question about us?!?" Seiya exclaimed.
"Nope. She was really polite too."
"So she's not a fan of ours?" Taiki asked.
"No she is. She's one of our greatest fans, she says. Well, she said that maybe her good friend Minako Aino is a bigger fan than she is," Serena grinned and looked at Yaten.
"You're telling me," Yaten rolled his eyes. He had had to listen to Mina's excited whispering throughout the whole duration of morning class.
Serena teasing grin widened. "She said your Mina's favorite."
"Oh brother," Yaten sighed and stuffed his mouth with sushi.
"Oh! There she is with Ami!" Serena said, feeling glad that she had finally found a friend who liked her for who she was not the fact that she was a famous idol and had two hunky "brothers". She smirked at Yaten. "I'm going to invite them over!" She jumped up before Yaten could say anything and strode deliberately towards the group of girls who gathered under the large tree on the far side of the courtyard.
Yaten shouted in fake desperation after her, which caught the attention of a bunch of girls who sat near them, or rather, near the three young men of the Four Lights. "Oh please no! Sere! Come on! That's torture and you know it!"
Serena grinned as she heard the "desperate" pleas of her fellow band member and made her way over to Ami and her friends. They saw her approaching before she was even halfway across the courtyard and Ami waved to her. Serena smiled and gave a small wave back.
"Hey Serena. Would you like to join us?" Ami smiled at her when she reached them.
"Oh no. I wanted to see if you guys wanted to join Taiki, Seiya, Yaten, and myself under that very 'lonely' tree over there," Serena joked, gesturing towards the direction of her fellow band members. A few feet away, a large group of girls was sitting and was watching the three with seemingly hawk eyes as they ate their lunch. The girls whispered amongst themselves every so often as if they were sharing some top-secret information about the three handsome brothers.
"Uh, I, uh, don't know about-" Ami started to say, her face flushing a light pink. Mina jumped up and said excitedly, "Of course I will!" She suddenly shrank back in embarrassment and said sheepishly, "Uh, I mean, we will. We'd be glad to, right Ami?"
Ami bit her lip and then gave a small smile. "Sure, I guess so."
"All right then, come on. The guys are waiting for us." All the girls gathered their lunches and followed Serena to the boys. Serena dropped down next to Seiya and the other girls too seats across from the other four teens.
Just as Ami was going to introduce the girls to the Four Lights, a girl strode over to them from the big group of girls, who were shooting dirty looks at Ami and her friends. "Hey Yaten, Seiya, Taiki," the girl said in what she thought was a sexy voice.
"Hi, who are you?" Seiya asked politely.
"I'm Lacey Kurishige. My friends and I were wondering if you three wanted to come eat with us?" Lacey batted her eyelashes at the three brothers. Yaten shot a secret, gagging expression to Serena who stopped herself from laughing by taking a big bite of her sushi roll.
"We're fine right here," Yaten replied coolly. He took a bite of his own sushi roll as a sign of a dismissal. But the girl still stood there.
"Well, we'll sit here with you three then," The girl said sweetly and then turned to Ami and the girls, pointedly ignoring Serena who was getting into a bad mood, thanks to this girl's attitude. "Sorry, but you'll have to leave. It'll be too crowded with me and my friends here and you'll only be taking up even more room." She made a small shooing motion with her perfectly manicured fingertips.
"Actually, I think we're doing fine right here, like Yaten said. We don't need anyone else here. Buh-bye." Serena imitated the girl's sickening sweet voice and her shooing motion, except Serena's fingernails weren't manicured and weren't very long because of her guitar playing.
"You died and made you queen of Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten," the girl practically snarled at Serena. "Besides, I was talking to them." She turned back to the three boys, "Right boys?"
"Well, actually, Serena being my girlfriend DOES let her have say on who I eat lunch with," Seiya said and slid his arm onto Serena's shoulders. Serena automatically leaned closer to Seiya.
Lacey seemed surprised. "You two are...dating?"
"Yeah, so if you don't mind..."
"Yaten and I will have to agree with Serena and Seiya. We don't need anyone else over here. It'll be to crowding, like you said," Taiki replied politely. "And we'd like to get started on our lunches if you don't mind."
The girl stared open mouthed at them, probably because this was her very first rejection from a guy, or rather, three guys. She closed her mouth and whipped around, stalking back to her friends.
After the girl had moved a few feet away, the group burst out laughing. It helped to ease some uneasiness between them.
"Ah, well, that was the best laugh I've had in a long time," Ami said. She gave a short laugh. Then she looked at the Four Lights. "Well, I'm Ami Mizuno and these are my friends. This is Minako Aino, but we call her Mina," she gestured to the bubbly blond haired girl who was looking right at Yaten. "This is Rei Hino, "she motioned to the girl with long black hair and purple eyes, "and this is Makoto Kino," she nodded to the tall, dark brown haired girl who looked like she was a tomboy, although she was wearing the girls' school uniform.
"Nice to meet you all," Seiya said with that half-smirk, half-smile of his that was seen on most magazines and photos; whenever he let his cool-guy look fall for a few moments.
"I'm Serena, and these three are Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten, but I'm guess you guys already know that?" Serena asked raising an eyebrow in amusement as the other girls nodded to her statement.
"So, how long have you guys been dating?" Mina jumped right in. "I saw you guys kissing before so I know it has to have been going on over a year or something."
"We've been dating for a little over 3 years," Serena said with a smile as she fed Seiya a piece of sushi.
"Really?!" Mina, Makoto, and Rei exclaimed in amazement. "And the press never knew about it?" Makoto asked.
"No, they just never asked, and we, uh, conveniently 'forgot' that we were going out when we were in press conferences and such. Here is the first place we've been able to go out together," Seiya said with a grin, after he swallowed the sushi.
"So that's why," Rei said. "Did you know that some of the other girls were saying how they couldn't believe you guys were dating. Some of them were really jealous, but I heard a few girls saying you guys match."
"Really? Wow. Never though Seiya's fans would be saying we match," Serena laughed.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Seiya looked at Serena with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing. It meant nothing," Serena said innocently and then turned to share a look with the girls. The girls all burst out laughing and Seiya was left confused. Taiki and Yaten just shook their heads, muttering, "Women."
