Chapter 3

Darien woke up to the roaring of his alarm clock as he did every morning deciding to ignore it a little while longer. He grunted in protest as the sun shone through his windows beckoning him to awake. After a while mentally telling himself that he was 'getting up.' He finally managed to lift himself up lazily to get dressed. He looked at a pile of fliers that sat idly on her dresser; he and his older brother had made them the other night. The only proved to be another unwanted reminder that they had to have auditions today. Auditions were the worst, it was torture for his sensitive ears, having to sit and listen to people who assumed that they had talent try their luck. He grimaced when he realized that Rie would most likely try her luck once again, today would be a long day.

Andrew marched his way into Darien's room once again to borrow some cologne. "You know what," Andrew said looking it to Darien's mirror examining himself, making sure he looked good enough to grace the school with his presence.

"No I don't know what." Darien retorted as he slipped a shirt over his head.

"While I was working in the school's office yesterday I over heard the principal and one of the secretaries talking about some new student transferring into our school. She should be here today." Darien's head shot up, this is the first time Andrew had mentioned a girl to him.

"And why is this a big deal." Darien snapped staring at his cologne bottle it was near empty, there wasn't a sufficient amount let for him to use now.

"Well they were talking about how she was going to audition for the school choir."

"Why would she want to do that? Our chorus sucks. You know who's in there right: Rei, Mina, Lita and Amy, the four worst singing girls in the entire school or as they like to put it vocally misunderstood."

"Well the new girl is rumored to have a siren's voice; maybe we should have her audition."

"Well since she's new she has to go to the office before she goes anywhere else. You'll probably be the first to see her so take a flier and try to convince her to audition for us, if she rejects just grab her ass; that should convince her."

"You've grown up into quite the pervert."

"Hey... you can't blame me if I have twice the hormones a normal boy my age should. I'm the real victim here." Darien retorted and they both laughed together until Darien kicked him out of his room so he could continue dressing in private. They soon made they're way to school parting way as usually except this time Andrew rushed to the office in hopes of meeting the new singer he recently told Darien about and Darien casually went to his group of friends. Darien took note to the fact that Rei wasn't connected to Chad's arm as she usually was. "Where's you girl, Chad?" Darien asked as he greeted everyone.

"Oh, there is a new girl in school and is going to share homeroom with Rei. Therefore my darling has been stolen away from to give the royal tour of this shit hole, the new girl."

"Well that explains it. Andrew told me she might be able to sing so if she becomes friends with Rei it will be easier to convince her to try out."

"Yeah I heard that too." Mina added as she walked over with Lita and Amy. "Albeit we have never seen her she's rumored to be a looker, drop dead gorgeous body."

"Afraid of competition Mina," Chad challenged, everyone had to agree Mina was immensely narcissistic.

"Why would I be, I doubt she could take me on."

"Your ego never ceases to amaze me." Darien added

"There you just admitted that I amaze you. I knew you were utterly infatuated with me the moment you realized I grew up to have such a killer body." Mina stated striking a pose earning herself a whole hearted laugh from all of her friends. There banter continued until the bell rang and the all went their separate ways. Darien began to wonder if Andrew and Rei had met the new girl yet... He himself began to wonder if she was that good looking if so he might have him a new temporary toy until the bitch Beryl came back... He shook him head in dismissal of that thought. He would let Andrew have first dibs on her, It wouldn't be fare if he took yet another girl when Andrew had never had a girlfriend his whole life. Darien vowed to hook them up if it was the last thing he did.

Mean while Andrew had rushed to the main office looking to see if the new girl had arrived. He sighed in relief when he realized that she hadn't arrived yet that he'd gave him the chance to look at her class schedule before any one else, but before he could find it he was interrupted by Rei. "Whatcha doin'" She stated leaning over the front desk a large pinkish bubble concealing half of her face.

"I should ask you the same question." He mumbled as he popped her gum and continued to look for the file containing the new student's classes, he didn't know her name but it wouldn't be to hard to find her since she was the only new student.

"I'm waiting for the new girl I have to be her tour guide since we have homeroom together." Rei said as rounded the desk and sat next to Andrew. "I haven't even been told her name."

"I know her whole arrival is one big mystery. I wonder what's so good about her."

"You don't know... Jesus from what I heard she is supposedly famous in New York for winning her singing. Why she transfers here I have no fuckin' idea. I mean like if she had such a great reputation up in NY why the hell move down here. You would think that she would want to stay up there where to opportunities lay." Rei stated bewildered by the whole situation. Everyone was very curious to meet this girl. Andrew wasn't really paying much attention to Rei's antics to busy trying to look for the file. After a couple of minutes he finally found her class schedule. With out bothering to look at her name they both trailed down to the list of her classes. All her classes were shared with Rei. Andrew realized that they shared two classes together, Physical Education and Mathematics. He would also have to same lunch period with her. Andrews mind was submerged with curiosity. Both Rei and Andrew where interrupted from their thoughts by a small yet vaguely familiar voice.

"Excuse me but... Isn't that mine?" Andrew and Rei shot their hand up and closed the file and hid it behind their backs albeit they had already been caught. Andrew's mouth dropped in sheer shock. The girl in front of him was absolutely stunning. She was wearing a tight crimson low cut shirt that stop just above her pierced navel, with an unfamiliar Japanese symbol on it. And a short jean skirt hung off her velvety hips. His eyes trailed down her mellifluous legs down to her feet where she bore red flip flops that matched her shirt. 'Cute toes' he commented to himself as his eyes raced back up further examine her face. The words 'perfect' came to mind but that wasn't enough to describe her delicately flawless features. He had never seen anyone in his life look this beautiful. He half wondered if she was even mortal... not mortal could posses this kind of magnificence. Their eyes locked and he felt her breath hitch deep in his throat when her shining azure eyes clashed with his dark evergreen ones.

Rei thoughts were roughly the same as Andrew's, this girl was to faultless to be true. Rei began to stare at the girl's hair; supple, and shimmering dead blonde hair hinted with light brown and silver streaks. The girl began to fidget nervously due to the their gawking expressions. "Um... They told me to come over here and find Rei." Her voice smooth and even, Andrew had never been this attracted to someone since childhood. God this girl was a breath of fresh air, she reminded him so much of Serena's beauty. His thoughts where interrupted when Rei finally broke out of her own trance and began to talk to the girl.

"That's me. I am Rei... at least that's what they call me... probably because that's my name." Rei said her voice jagged from her nervousness, she had absolutely no idea what to say. Some how she felt as if she had met this girl before, but tried to dismiss it she knew no one from New York, but she just couldn't get the familiar feeling out of her head. Ironically Andrew had felt the same but they both opted brushed it off.

"Probably..."

"Oh... This is a good friend of mine, his name is-"

"Andrew" The girl interrupted rendering Rei and Andrew speechless; she had known his name before Rei could tell her. The girl laughed to herself lightly and then looked at them both with a huge grin on her face. "Have I changed that much Rei funny how I can at least recognize you two with ease? When you don't have the slightest clue, who I am..." Her laughter befuddled them even further. So apparently they knew this girl and she knew them. Their slow minds tried to think of possibilities but came to known. She laughed even harder to their thinking expressions. After a while she finally managed to calm herself. "Since you don't remember allow me to introduce myself. My name is Serena Fields. Not too long ago I used to live in this town next to these two boys named Darien and Andrew, and I went to Wilson Elementary with them and some other good friends such as Rei, Amy, Mina, Lita and Chad..." Serena shot them a mocking grin to their numb shocked expressions "Remember me now?"

"Serena..." Andrew managed to chock out. Serena hold out their arms to them inviting them into an embrace. They both didn't waste any time dashing to her and embracing her in a three way hug.

"Yup... the one and only, I'm back." Serena sobbed out with tears of joy, Rei decided to join her sobbing while Andrew just held onto her tightly afraid he was dreaming, that if he let go she would disappear. They stayed connected for a long while until the ringing of the bell brought them out of their stupor.

"Is this for real Serena, you are here to stay..." Rei asked hopefully Serena smiled a reassuring smile to them. "God this is surreal. I really never thought that I'd see you again like this... God Serena look at you, you've completely grown up. You must have done a number to those boys in New York." Serena blushed deeply while Andrew really didn't like the thought of her being with other boys, especially ones from big cities like New York.

"Well I've had a couple of relationships, I just ended a two year relationship recently." Serena grimaced at the thought of her ex boyfriend; He was upset because in their two year relationship she refused to give herself to him after two years. She just couldn't bring herself to make love with him, when her heart still belonged to her childhood love. "What about you two?"

"I am in a current relationship, two years and still going strong... with Chad" The two girl shrieked with excitement while Andrew just watched on in a daze, only brought back to reality when her sweet voice directed itself to him.

"Andrew what about you; any relationships," She asked but before he had a chance to answer Rei saved him the trouble.

"Nope he's been single since forever. I don't even think he knows how to kiss a girl."

"God shut up Rei, just because I haven't had a girlfriend doesn't mean I've never kissed before." Andrew retorted which wasn't a lie he had kissed plenty of times before he had just never enjoyed it fully. Then he remembered the flier he had in his pocket for the auditions. "Serena... I know you just got here and it is a bit sudden but, Darien and I have a band. Our singer is temporarily out of the continent. Why don't you show up for auditions? It's at our house" Serena's heart broke just then, she knew it was foolish but she remember Darien's promise to her. The promise that he would want only her to sing for his band, she quickly hid her emotions by beaming up at Andrew. She had noticed the moment she walked in how attractive he was. He had grown up into and well built man how gazed at her as if she was the only woman in the world. She almost drooled as his fierce green eyes bore into her own. Rei's helpful nudge brought her out of her trance.

"Sure, no problem, that would be great."

"Good, I'm sure mother would be happy to see you again."

"Great cause I'm just ecstatic about see her again as well. It's been so long..." Serena trailed off. Andrew had a feeling he know exactly what she was thinking about, more like whom she was thinking about. "How's Darien?" She has her voice solemn with longing. Andrew began to wonder what would happen between them now that she was back, the thought alone broke his heart.

"Class of course exactly where you two should be so run a long I will see you soon." Andrew shooed the two out of the office and in the direction of their homeroom. Andrew grunted her closeness almost erupted his self control, he had a hard on by the mere sight of her.

Rei and Serena walked blissfully into class where she was introduced to her new class, she also rekindled some old friendship with some certain group of old girl friends. The morning half of the day was rather eventful, greeting old friends making new ones. The boy population swooned over her, and her delicate appearance. During P.E. Andrew hung closely to her making sure every guy know that they had no chance of getting with her while he was around. When lunch hour dragged around Andrew insisted that Serena come over to were the 12 graders ate separating them selves for the other grade levels: Rei, Mina, Lita, and Amy of coursed were invited as well. They weren't just going to let Serena be dragged to where all the cute older guys were at all alone. Rei hadn't even noticed that she had ditched her boyfriend yet again. Meanwhile the girls and Andrew were having joyously catching up. Chad and Darien were frantically looking all over the school for them. Truth be told Chad was looking frantically Darien just followed nonchalantly eating an apple.

"Where the hell could she be?" Chad asked in agitation and in sorrow... he was missing his other half. Darien just shrugged indifferently.

"Hell if I know, she's probably still giving the new girl a tour."

"That reminds me I've heard some rumors about her."

"Not even here for more than 5 hours and already rumors. But if you insist on gossiping let's here it, what have you heard?" Darien voice disdain as he took another bite of his apple.

"I hear that your bother has taking quite the liking to her. All the guys are say how at P.E. he would give a menacing glare to anyone who even tried to glance at her through the corner of their eyes. He was really protective of her. Oh! And the way he looked at her gave off the impression that he had every intention of making her his." These words suddenly sparked an interest from Darien.

"It's good to hear that Andrew as finally found someone to his liking. I was starting to worry that he was gay. She must be quite the gal to have intrigued him to that extent. Truthfully I haven't seen anyone do that. I guess I won't be able to touch the great beauty." Darien mocked beaming at his friend. "We should have party so I can find a temporary playmate."

"Yeah man... but where?"

"At your house of course," Darien took a bite of his apple and walked off in order to avoid Chad's loud protest.

"FUCK NO! Are you fuckin' kidding me, last time we had a party at my house drunk bastard broke my mothers favorite china, it was and antic."

"But Chad, we can't have it anywhere else. Your parents are the only parents that are hardly ever home. And I know that they won't be home all weekend long. We could have the party on Friday, and I'll help clean and pay for any damages."

"I don't know man. If we get busted or if anything breaks, I'll be in some serious shit."

"Oh come on live a little. You are always so up tight."

"That's because everything you do gets me in trouble." Chad stated matter-of-factly, Darien was clearly trying his best to charm his way into getting what he wanted.

"Hey man you know that I always go down with you. Come one. This is perfect your parents won't be back until Monday. That gives us plenty of time. Our band could play give us some practice in front of audience. Just say yes you know you want the opportunity to spend some nice quality time on the dance floor with your girl maybe even some quality time in a more private location of you house... a.k.a. your room." Darien chuckled earning a rightly deserved punch on the shoulder.

"Fine man... a party at my place Friday."

"Great!" Darien chanted happily to himself. Chad and Darien decided to give up looking for the girls since the lunch hour was almost over and they still hadn't eaten a full lunch. They went through their classes waiting in anticipation for their last period, hoping that the new girl would be in their class. Then it came their last period they took their seat and hooked their eyes to the door... waiting. Class had already started and they hadn't yet to see this supposed goddess and Rei. Nor would they with because Rei had taken Serena to the music room to try out for the dance team, and it lasted all period.

"Shit where has that woman been all fucking day!" Chad spat out disdainfully waiting in the parking lot with Darien for Andrew to pick them up and give them a ride.

"Everyone seems to be avoiding us even Andrew's missing. We never have to wait for him to pick us up, shit, I'm about to walk home." Darien hissed glancing from side to side every other minute to see if Andrew's car was anywhere in sight. After another ten more minutes they both decided to walk to Darien's house since they had auditions soon. The whole way Darien and Chad were seething with anger this was the first time they were ever forced to walk home from school in their lives. A couple of blocks away from Darien's home Andrew, ironically, pulled up next to them with a huge grin on his face.

"You guys should have waited for me at school so you didn't have to walk home. I have been looking all over for you. " Andrew commented with a huge grin implanted on his face while eyeing their sweaty and bile figures, decided that his sarcastic humor just might just help them all laugh about this later.

"Fuck you we did wait! We waited half an hour for you like two stupid idiots on the side of the road. I think we should be the ones asking where you were." Darien retorted.

"I held up, sorry about making you wait. Hop in I'll take you the rest of the way."

"What's the point now that we are like two blocks away from home?"

"Air conditioning would do you some good looks of you."

"Again I repeat, fuck you."

"Such dirty language little bother you will have to wash you mouth as soon as we get home, now get in." Darien glared at his brothers grinning face. 'What the fuck is wrong with him. He normally isn't like this.' Darien wondered silently to himself before sighing in defeat and entering the car with Chad. He would figure out why Andrew was acting so strangely later, right now he had to focus on the auditions for Beryl's temporary replacement. They made it home shortly and prepared for the auditions, a lot of people had actually decided to try their luck. Hours passed by and everyone who tried sounded like shit. Around seven they decided to give up and try again tomorrow. That's when it happened, that's when she walked in...
