Chapter 8 (Mistaken)
Darien grabs her roughly by the shoulders her and turns her to face him abruptly. "Serena!" He yells happily into the air until his eyes collided with her face. She definitely not Serena, she didn't even blush like Serena. Serena had an unique style that he had taken the trouble to memorize unconsciously. This girl stared into his eyes and turned red completely. Serena would look up into his eyes for a second and then turn here eyes away from him. He cheeks lightly tainted pink if she became even more nervous they might turn redder but she looked adorable each time. Serena's cheeks were amazingly coloured. She would never need make up to bring out her cheeks they stood out on their own. This girl was different her whole face was bright red, and she didn't become shy like Serena this girl stared openly into his eyes. Darien let released her shoulders realizing he's idiotic mistake. He can't stand looking about her, it wasn't that this girl wasn't attractive she was very attractive but her eyes did nothing to his heart. He turns his gaze down to the grass and her face turns back to a normal soft pale white. And she step forward to him wondering if she had hurt him in some way he looked horrible Andrew walked up calmly. And slapped Darien's back causing him to tumble to the floor.
"Jesus Darien you should at least apologize for scaring the wits out of Mina." Andrew said chuckling to himself watching the enraged Darien get back up. Andrew turned and smiled to Mina, blushing slightly. She glared coldly at him and she walked over to Darien and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"I hope he didn't hit you too hard. Are you hurt? I could take you to the nurse's office." She said to him Darien could tell she wasn't using her true voice she was trying to manipulate a sweet tone. Andrew was easily tricked but Darien just brushed her hand off his shoulder.
"No, I don't need to go to the nurse's office. You really think I am that weak, oh please." Darien scoffs as he rolls his eyes. Mina appears to be hurt by his words but doesn't say anything. Before Darien can walk away Andrew grabs him and has a rather serious expression on his face. Darien is curious by the protective look in his eyes.
"Man you really don't have to be so rude to her after all you were the one that confused her for some one else. Apologize..."
"And what if I don't" Darien said mockingly he loomed over Andrew trying to intimidate Andrew enough to show he's intentions over this girl.
"Just do it." Andrew tone is stern not going to break under pressure. Darien smirked slightly really enjoying this. After all the mocking he endured he was now able to give back to his kind friend. The saying is right 'giving is better than receiving.'
"No."
Do it now."
"I refuse."
"YOU JERK, APOLOGIZE TO MINA!"
"I won't apologize to Nina."
"IT'S MINA. NOW!" Mina watches them bicker uncomfortably letting out a sigh in defeat as she stares at Darien.
"Mina who?" A chipper voice intervenes in the conversation. All three turned their attention too the person in possession of the voice. Andrew smiles mischievously, Darien is too stunned to express react, and Mina just stares in confusion. Darien just snaps and lashes out, not understanding why he is so angry.
"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL DAY SERENA?" Darien yells out into the air Mina flinches due to the severity of his words. Darien also soon regrets it's looking at her shocked expression. 'I've been dying to see her all day and now that she is in front of my I scream out her. I seriously would like to know what the hells wrong with me.
"I...I... well I wasn't aware that we were scheduled to meet each other today." Serena chokes slightly on her words. Then she let's out a huge smile. And takes out her daily planner, and begins to scan through it. Darien is looks at her in irony. 'She actually schedules our meetings.' She lets out a soft sigh in disappointment. "I must have forgot to put it in here."
"Yeah must have," 'what I am I talking about I never even asked her to see me today, sht this is all my fault goddamn it. But it is so much easier to blame other people. Yeah she should have known I would want to see her today... Wait I guess she did since she is hear now.' He thought.
"Don't worry about its ok just remember to schedule everything properly next time." What else was he suppose to do admit he was wrong and never asked to meet her just assumed, no never too much pride.
"When did you say you'd meet me?" She asks whole-heartedly. Darien Is stunned that she is bright enough to ask catching him in his own game. Feeling a little panicked on how to respond, when suddenly it came to him 'Distraction.'
"Have you eatin' anything? Would you like to have some school lunch with me- I mean us. Andrew and I... Me and Andrew... LUNA! Did you bring her with you?" Darien manages to ramble on rather nervously capturing Serena effectively, she forgot about her previous question.
"Yeah, I am starving! I have never had a school lunch before." She smiles gleefully as she latches onto Darien's arms, earning an unnoticed glare from Mina. "Oh, Luna is here." Serena reaches into her he front coat pocket and takes out the small grey kitten. 'Oh I get it. It's ok to be in her jacket but when you in mine you go crazy and become on take mode. The cat's sexist.' Darien thinks to himself. 'And how come she gets to be so close to Serena. I swear she likes the damn cat more than me... that's couldn't be possible could it. No I am the daddy and she has to like the daddy better. Wait what am I say! I can't believe I am going along with her stupid little notions. Just be cool Darien, just chill.
"Come on, it's on me then, here give me Luna. I carry her for a while." Serena smile genuinely as she hands Luna to Darien. Darien greedily takes her not wanting her to be anymore closer to Serena this was his time and she was going to enjoy it. Darien decides to be audacious and takes he hand in his as the walk over to the line slowly. Mina mouth drops he didn't even acknowledge her existence in front of Serena. Andrew glances over to her slightly flushed. He felt sympathy for her knowing that watching some one you have feeling for pine over some one else was truly heartbreaking for he has been pining for Mina ever since she became manager of the basketball team.
He watched her as she stared at Darien longingly. He watched in agony as she watched in agony. He wanted to approach her so many times but just could never bring himself to do so. She was so enwrapped with her dreams of Darien she would never acknowledge him as a possibility. He hoped that after seeing Darien with Serena that she might come to her sense and get over him, and he was willing to dream himself, for at time's that all we have. Andrew heard Darien and Serena beckon him but before he left he turned to face Mina.
"You should give up you know..." he says solemnly to her, trying to hide his own affections for her. She looked at him in shock. "Darien's heart belongs to Serena. I am sorry but you should give up before you get hurt even worse." Mina was quite shocked that he had known her feeling for Darien but brushed it away. He stood up straight and closed her mouth clenching he jaw tightly, she turned to him, glaring coldly at him as if he had mortally offended her. Andrew already knew what she was about to say but listen anyways savouring each moment she spoke to him. This is the first time they ever spoke, thanks to Darien's confusion.
"I am ten times better than her. Before today I was always too scared to approach him considering he has a some what scary reputation. But now seeing her I know I can win. I will tell him how I feel and I won't waste anytime doing so. Do you hear me! Thank you for considering my 'heart' but I assure it... it won't be broken. I won't lose."
"Anyways if that's how you feel I wish you luck, although I don't think it would do any good and I don't think you should meddle in their relationship because it doesn't concern you. But I wish you luck all the same." Andrew smiled his façade smile. He's been doing it for so long now he couldn't even tell the difference anymore. He truly didn't want to encourage her. Her words stung him hard burning into his brain, she cared for Darien too much. And he didn't want to discourage her with his words he wanted her happiness though it would be impossible. He walked away from Mina, his face pale. He had so man offers from girls to be there boyfriend... He rejected them all thinking of only her in that sort of way.
He felt truly defeated until and small arm latched onto his catching him off guards he looked to see Mina's demanding face looking up at him. "I am going with her. I have to keep and eye on those two." Andrew smiled whole- heartedly, something more than his façade, just happy with the simple contact that she had made with him. The walk over to the lunch line and get lunches. Andrew automatically knows that Darien will be hiding behind his favourite tree. He was hesitant at bringing her there but couldn't say no to her. They both stepped behind the tree to find Darien and Serena sitting side by side. It would have been a romantic situation if Serena didn't have her face engulfed with food. Food was flying everywhere. Darien just smiled nervously. His hand behind his head watching her, one thought raced through all their minds at that moment 'what a pig!' Serena then looked down out her empty tray sulking.
"It's all gone..." she murmured softly. Apparently she was still hungry. Darien chuckled to himself and slipped his arm around her waits and brought her closer to him. Mina struggled to hold in her jealousy. Darien stuffed and apple in her mouth, 'There my most beautiful little piggy.' He thought holding her body tighter against his. She happily ate it Mina not able to take much more of this drops her tray to the ground. Both turn their attention to her but Darien has no intension of letting go of Serena. "oh you must have been so hungry you dropped your tray in excitement. I am sure Darien could by you another one." Serena tells Mina like most of the time he thinking was strange. But Darien was caught wither last sentence.
"ME! I don't even know the chic. Why would I bye her, another lunch?" Darien said nonchalantly, he really had no idea who she was. He had no idea that she was around him every day due to her being the basketball manager. Mina was hurt really hurt and both Andrew and Serena's heart when out to her. Although Serena thought she was sad over not having food. Serena stood up breaking Darien's tight hold. He mentally cursed as Mina for this.
"You miss your food that much..." Serena kneeled in front of Darien. "PLEASE! OH PLEASE DARIEN SHE IS HUNGRY AND NEEDS FOOOD FOR HER GROWING BODY. IF SHE UP AND DIED COULD YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELF KNOW YOU PROBABLY CAUSE IT BY NOT GIVING HER THE CHANCE TO EAT THIS ONE TIME." Darien wasn't paying attention to her words the only think that caught his attention was her closeness to him. She places her gentle hands on his knees. He had no chance now. He knew he was going to end up buying her a new one anyways so decided just to submit now. He shifted slightly and drew his wallet from his back pocket, and handed the money to Andrew.
"Andrew, go with her to get a new lunch." Darien motioned for them to leave as Serena encircled his neck in a warm hug thanking him. Mina had had enough of how he treated Serena and how he refused to treat her. Andrew grabbed her arm to turn her back to the lunch line but she ripped away from him violently.
"NO!" She screams separating Darien and Serena starkly enough to cause Serena to drop to the ground. Darien was furious but before he could help Serena Mina stood before him cry. Darien didn't even a bit of empathy for her tears. He pushed her aside but not strong enough to push her to the ground. He knew Andrew would step in to defend her and did not wish to ruin a friendship over some one who isn't worth wasting a relationship for. Luna who was drinking milk earlier take her saw what Mina did and attacks her the only way she could thing of. She sunk her nails into her leg, much like what she did with Darien. Mina squeals in pain. Andrew rushes to her but is unable to separate the two. Each tug only forced Luna to dig her self deeper into her body. Darien was just going to let the cat have her fun but Serena gave him a stern look. Seeing that he would budge no matter what she did. Serena walked over to Mina's leg and cooed the kitten off of her. She whimpered slightly but forgot the pain when she watched Darien still prefer Serena.
In her frenzy to win him she ran to Darien and embraced him from behind. "DARIEN! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" She yelled desperate to do what ever it took. Everyone was brought to a silence, with the sudden declaration. Darien broke away form her tight hold and turned, his face with out emotion.
"I am sorry Shana but I don't even know who you are. I have never seen you in my life before today. To put it simply I am just not interested in YOU." He said his voice stead and calm Serena was just in shock. Someone besides her had affections for Darien.
"Mina..." she murmured into the still air. My name is Mina." She ran to him and took his hand in hers. "You know me Darien. You've seen me. I became the manager of the basketball team the instant you became captain... to be closer to you. Darien we have been going to the same school for two year, you know me. Please say you know me." She even more desperate with each word the left her lips. Andrew looked at Serena's shocked state. Serena had no idea what to do know. Normally she would do anything in her power to help but she didn't want to help now. Something stopped her from putting on a big smile and helping them together. Someone else wanted to claim Darien. She didn't want him to leave her. She didn't want her to take him.
Andrew took Serena's hand and dragged her away from the scene allowing Darien and Mina some privacy. Although he was feeling the same emotions as Serena, possessiveness , but wanted Mina's happiness more.
"Look Mara. Like I said I am not interested because I already have some one- "
"HER, THAT SKINNY LITTLE BTCH! DARIEN, WHY HER? WHY DO YOU CHOOSE HER OVER ME. DARIENGIVE ME SOMETIME I CAN PROVE MYSELF I PROMISE!" She pleaded with him, but Darien she tore his hand away from hers. She was annoying to him. She was the needy type, always wanting and never giving in returned. 'spoiled brat.' Darien thought to himself in disgust.
"Look, whatever the hell your name is, you ever call her that and I wont hesitate to beat your ass." Darien backs her up into the tree looming over her letting her sense his angry memorize it, fear it. "As I told you before I am not interested, and never will be. Stop being so self-centered and leave me the hell alone. And stop using your post as team manage to stalk me. If I have to I'll get a restraining order. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"I...Darien I..."
"Don't speak to me just nod your head. I am sick of hearing your manipulative voice. It won't work on me so stop trying." She nodded to his words a blatant lie. She wiped the tears away from her face. She had no intention at giving up here. But felt too exhausted to continue. Darien looked behind him and noticed that Serena and Andrew were gone. He turns and leave Mina was about to follow him but decided not to. She knew that she should approach him some other time when he mind was cooler. She walked solemnly away to approach he friends.
Darien found Andrew and Serena behind the school talking. Andrew was trying to console her out of her daze Darien decided to not make his presence known and listen in. He mind burning with jealousy and angry, but his subconscious knew Andrew was not the type to try to steal his girl.
"Are you feeling better?" Andrew asked Serena rubbing her back softly trying to ease her tense. She finally looked up at him.
"Do you think I should give him up Andrew? Do you think that Darien would want to be with her rather than me? He probably would... He doesn't like me at all does he. I am just a bother to him." He eyes fill with tears as she speaks her doubts.
"Serena I... would like to tell you what to do but it's not my place really. You need to talk to Darien. Tell him how you feel. I really don't think that he would reject you, I think you are something that he values."
"I don't know. Ever since I meet him he's been trying to push me away. I want to get closer to him but he won't let me. I wish eh would just tell me what he thinks of me whether it be bad or good. I just wish he could trust me."
"I'm sure he'll open up to you soon."
"How do you know?"
"Lucky guess..." She both laugh at his sheep joke calming both their spirits down. Darien can't watch anymore. He didn't want her to be around guys that weren't him. He trusted them both but jealousy of her being able to laugh so care free with Andrew made him mad. He had to claim her for his own and soon. Darien walked up behind Serena and wrapped his arms around her waist. His spirits calming as he nuzzled his face in her hair. She calmed in his embrace as well while Andrew just felt awkward. He wanted to take in the sent of her hair... He has never deliberately tried to smell her hair. He had expected her hair to be exotic and mesmerizing, something her would never forget and would be enticed to smell it everyday. What he smelled was a shock to his nose.
"Serena... Why does your hair smell like peanut butter?" Andrew looked at her questionable as Darien asked her that. They were both confused. Serena just blushed and grabbed a stand of her hair lifting it to her nose.
"Don't you like it? It's my especially made peanut butter shampoo. It's very good for my hair. And I just look the smell of peanuts, kind of makes me hungry." Serena's eyes brighten up as she mentioned food to herself. Evidently still craving more food Darien and Andrew chuckled, of all the things her hair could smell like hers had the unique aroma of peanuts. Darien couldn't help but feel at ease as he help her close to him Darien spent the rest of his lunch hour talking to Andrew and Serena. When the bell ring he felt he missed her already and he still had his arms wrapped around her. Andrew let to class early giving them time to say their good- byes. Serena turned around in his arms, smiling. Darien felt the walls of his chest constricting with each breath he drew.
"Serena, meet me after school please. Can you?" Darien nuzzled his nose on the side of her face, causing her to wrap her arms around his neck. Darien pressed his cheek to hers and let his nose wonder to her ear. She giggled lightly.
"Okay Darien I will be here."
"Make sure you drop by after four because that's when basketball practice ends don't forget okay."
"I can't believe I forgot to meet you earlier."
"UH... well don't worry about it. I am sure it's not your fault." Darien kissed her lightly on her temple. Serena shivered in his embraced. Darien loved the vibrations he felt as she trembled against him wanting more of it. He began to suck on her earlobe slightly, getting exactly what he wanted. She shook vigorously in pleasure, moaning softly as he continued to entice her. "I'll save some for when you meet me okay." He pulled away from her know that if he didn't end this now he would find himself in a very compromising situation, and he was almost late for class. HE ran back to the building staring back out her limp body. He crashed into the door hard and ran in. He felt he missed her as he ran to class but more at ease knowing he would see her Again. He ran straight to his seat barely late once again, taking a seat next to Andrew. Andrew looked at Darien as he remembered from earlier something...
"You know Darien... Serena looks familiar to me. It's weird but I feel like I've seen her face like a billion times. I just can't place where I've seen it."
"It's either you know her or you don't there is no in between Andrew..."
"Hmmm you are right... it's just that... never mind forget it." Andrew turned his attention back to class while Darien couldn't help but wonder. 'What was that all about? Does he know her or not? I get a bad feeling from this'

"And what if I don't" Darien said mockingly he loomed over Andrew trying to intimidate Andrew enough to show he's intentions over this girl.
"Just do it." Andrew tone is stern not going to break under pressure. Darien smirked slightly really enjoying this. After all the mocking he endured he was now able to give back to his kind friend. The saying is right 'giving is better than receiving.'
"No."
Do it now."
"I refuse."
"YOU JERK, APOLOGIZE TO MINA!"
"I won't apologize to Nina."
"IT'S MINA. NOW!" Mina watches them bicker uncomfortably letting out a sigh in defeat as she stares at Darien.
"Mina who?" A chipper voice intervenes in the conversation. All three turned their attention too the person in possession of the voice. Andrew smiles mischievously, Darien is too stunned to express react, and Mina just stares in confusion. Darien just snaps and lashes out, not understanding why he is so angry.

"Andrew, go with her to get a new lunch." Darien motioned for them to leave as Serena encircled his neck in a warm hug thanking him.

In her frenzy to win him she ran to Darien and embraced him from behind. "DARIEN! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU!" She yelled desperate to do what ever it took. Everyone was brought to a silence, with the sudden declaration. Darien broke away form her tight hold and turned, his face with out emotion.
"I am sorry Shana but I don't even know who you are. I have never seen you in my life before today. To put it simply I am just not interested in YOU." He said his voice stead and calm Serena was just in shock. Someone besides her had affections for Darien.
"Mina..." she murmured into the still air. My name is Mina." She ran to him and took his hand in hers. "You know me Darien. You've seen me. I became the manager of the basketball team the instant you became captain... to be closer to you. Darien we have been going to the same school for two year, you know me. Please say you know me." She even more desperate with each word the left her lips. Andrew looked at Serena's shocked state. Serena had no idea what to do know. Normally she would do anything in her power to help but she didn't want to help now. Something stopped her from putting on a big smile and helping them together. Someone else wanted to claim Darien. She didn't want him to leave her. She didn't want her to take him.
Andrew took Serena's hand and dragged her away from the scene allowing Darien and Mina some privacy. Although he was feeling the same emotions as Serena, possessiveness , but wanted Mina's happiness more.
"Look Mara. Like I said I am not interested because I already have some one- "
"HER, THAT SKINNY LITTLE BTCH! DARIEN, WHY HER? WHY DO YOU CHOOSE HER OVER ME. DARIENGIVE ME SOMETIME I CAN PROVE MYSELF I PROMISE!" She pleaded with him, but Darien she tore his hand away from hers. She was annoying to him. She was the needy type, always wanting and never giving in returned. 'spoiled brat.' Darien thought to himself in disgust.
"Look, whatever the hell your name is, you ever call her that and I wont hesitate to beat your ass." Darien backs her up into the tree looming over her letting her sense his angry memorize it, fear it. "As I told you before I am not interested, and never will be. Stop being so self-centered and leave me the hell alone. And stop using your post as team manage to stalk me. If I have to I'll get a restraining order. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?"
"I...Darien I..."
"Don't speak to me just nod your head. I am sick of hearing your manipulative voice. It won't work on me so stop trying." She nodded to his words a blatant lie. She wiped the tears away from her face. She had no intention at giving up here. But felt too exhausted to continue. Darien looked behind him and noticed that Serena and Andrew were gone. He turns and leave Mina was about to follow him but decided not to. She knew that she should approach him some other time when he mind was cooler. She walked solemnly away to approach he friends.
Darien found Andrew and Serena behind the school talking. Andrew was trying to console her out of her daze Darien decided to not make his presence known and listen in. He mind burning with jealousy and angry, but his subconscious knew Andrew was not the type to try to steal his girl.
"Are you feeling better?" Andrew asked Serena rubbing her back softly trying to ease her tense. She finally looked up at him.
"Do you think I should give him up Andrew? Do you think that Darien would want to be with her rather than me? He probably would... He doesn't like me at all does he. I am just a bother to him." He eyes fill with tears as she speaks her doubts.
"Serena I... would like to tell you what to do but it's not my place really. You need to talk to Darien. Tell him how you feel. I really don't think that he would reject you, I think you are something that he values."
"I don't know. Ever since I meet him he's been trying to push me away. I want to get closer to him but he won't let me. I wish eh would just tell me what he thinks of me whether it be bad or good. I just wish he could trust me."
"I'm sure he'll open up to you soon."
"How do you know?"
"Lucky guess..." She both laugh at his sheep joke calming both their spirits down. Darien can't watch anymore. He didn't want her to be around guys that weren't him. He trusted them both but jealousy of her being able to laugh so care free with Andrew made him mad. He had to claim her for his own and soon. Darien walked up behind Serena and wrapped his arms around her waist. His spirits calming as he nuzzled his face in her hair. She calmed in his embrace as well while Andrew just felt awkward. He wanted to take in the sent of her hair... He has never deliberately tried to smell her hair. He had expected her hair to be exotic and mesmerizing, something her would never forget and would be enticed to smell it everyday. What he smelled was a shock to his nose.
"Serena... Why does your hair smell like peanut butter?" Andrew looked at her questionable as Darien asked her that. They were both confused. Serena just blushed and grabbed a stand of her hair lifting it to her nose.
"Don't you like it? It's my especially made peanut butter shampoo. It's very good for my hair. And I just look the smell of peanuts, kind of makes me hungry." Serena's eyes brighten up as she mentioned food to herself. Evidently still craving more food Darien and Andrew chuckled, of all the things her hair could smell like hers had the unique aroma of peanuts. Darien couldn't help but feel at ease as he help her close to him Darien spent the rest of his lunch hour talking to Andrew and Serena. When the bell ring he felt he missed her already and he still had his arms wrapped around her. Andrew let to class early giving them time to say their good- byes. Serena turned around in his arms, smiling. Darien felt the walls of his chest constricting with each breath he drew.
"Serena, meet me after school please. Can you?" Darien nuzzled his nose on the side of her face, causing her to wrap her arms around his neck. Darien pressed his cheek to hers and let his nose wonder to her ear. She giggled lightly.
"Okay Darien I will be here."
"Make sure you drop by after four because that's when basketball practice ends don't forget okay."
"I can't believe I forgot to meet you earlier."
"UH... well don't worry about it. I am sure it's not your fault." Darien kissed her lightly on her temple. Serena shivered in his embraced. Darien loved the vibrations he felt as she trembled against him wanting more of it. He began to suck on her earlobe slightly, getting exactly what he wanted. She shook vigorously in pleasure, moaning softly as he continued to entice her. "I'll save some for when you meet me okay." He pulled away from her know that if he didn't end this now he would find himself in a very compromising situation, and he was almost late for class. HE ran back to the building staring back out her limp body. He crashed into the door hard and ran in. He felt he missed her as he ran to class but more at ease knowing he would see her Again. He ran straight to his seat barely late once again, taking a seat next to Andrew. Andrew looked at Darien as he remembered from earlier something...
"You know Darien... Serena looks familiar to me. It's weird but I feel like I've seen her face like a billion times. I just can't place where I've seen it."
"It's either you know her or you don't there is no in between Andrew..."
"Hmmm you are right... it's just that... never mind forget it." Andrew turned his attention back to class while Darien couldn't help but wonder. 'What was that all about? Does he know her or not? I get a bad feeling from this'
