Under the Covers
I can't make Serena dump Seiya's cheating arse because that would make Serena a hypocrite because she cheated on him right from the beginning.
So unfortunately Ann will again pop up and Beryl will enter the screen again but not right now.
Oh lots of Seiya bashing so don't read if you actually like him.
Flash back time! Might answer some of your questions to.
Anne is also here by renamed Ann.
Chapter 7
Raye shared a troubled look with Mina and Lita as they awkwardly hovered around Serena. Who was hunched over the table, her milkshake placed in her hand but not a sip had been taken.
She had been like that for nearly half and hour and didn't show any signs of snapping out of her broken down trance.
"This is stupid! Can you please tell me why you are all mopey? It's not like you broke off with Seiya. All you did was get into a pathetic squabble," Raye burst.
She gave her friends a so-what shrug as they glared daggers in her direction and a tight frown was placed across the fiery tempered woman.
The three girls raised there eyebrows in surprise as Serena's head lifted up and her normally crystal eyes landed on them.
Her eyes were devoid of any emotion and left a cold chill sweep through them. It made them want to run away, want to huddle the girl in their arms and bring back colour to her pale cheeks.
"I have been thinking," Serena began slowly.
They nodded their encouragement just like Serena thought they would. It didn't lighten the mood.
"Maybe. I should break things off," Her voice dipped low.
"Break things off?" Lita urged softly.
The blonde nodded her head, "With Darien," She answered in almost a whisper that they had to strain to hear.
Each girl took on a different stance as they tried to comprehend the information presented to them.
Lita shook her head in sympathy. She had never been truly in love before but she knew love when she saw it and when she looked at Serena and Darien she saw love just shinning through. They may never admit to themselves that they needed each other but she could see how much they depended on each other. She was there when she saw the painful episode when they had tried to distance one another. It lasted for about 2 weeks before they caved in. Lita looked on in sympathy. There was nothing she could do but to back up any decision that Serena might make.
"What?" Mina gurgled.
Raye saw how Serena was conflicted on the inside. Her eyes held no hold, offered no warmth. Bugger that basted Seiya! He was the reason that she was even in this state. With any other boy, had a relationship been this hard she would have broken things off and enjoyed her 'single' time. Of course that meant snuggling in Darien's bed every night. She had to admit that she had her doubts about Darien and Serena being together. Of course there was that whole issue on crushing on him back in high school when all he had been back then was their teacher. But Serena knew the trouble Darien was bringing her into and she went willing and didn't look back. Raye had to admire her for that. Raye listened with interest as Serena begun to explain herself. She started off slowly.
Serena looked up at her friends uncertain that they would listen to all she had to say and still be her friends. But she trusted them and she put her faith and heart out to them. She drew in a deep breath. "I started my relationship with Mr Shields with my eyes wide opened. Or that's what I thought."
*Flash Back*
Seventeen year old Serena laughed with her friends like any other day. Her head was tossed back as she laughed at one of her quieter friends Amy made a witty remark.
"Oh! Stop! Stop!" Serena gasped out in between fits of giggles. "My stomach can't take any more of this," She protested as Raye quirked up.
She landed on the floor as her giggles mounted; she dragged her friends with her.
They didn't care that they were drawing curious glances or that some were completely scared witless but for most it was a just part of school's rich tapestry.
It was then when she first saw him. Her breath caught and her stomach did a frenzy flip flop. She scrambled onto her seat and tried to smooth her silky strands. It was then that she knew.
Mr Shields had entered the room and along with it every girl's heart stopped and the boys looked on with admiration.
Serena felt an arm wrap around her shoulders and a face nuzzle her neck.
"Hey Serena," the voice breathed.
She turned slightly in her seat and she let out the breath she didn't know was holding in. "Hey Chris," She greeted her boyfriend.
He kissed her on her neck and was working up to her face when Mr Shields spoke for the first time and Serena melted in her seat right there.
"Alright, everybody get to your seats-"He waited till everyone was seated and not so fidgety. "I'm Mr Shields but I prefer it if you all called me Darien though only in our classroom. Seems I can get into a heap load of shit if I let you use my first name. I think that you can all guess that I'm here because I'm your new English teacher,"
From that day onwards Darien was the youngest teacher at Brick Wood High and the most popular.
He was on everyone's desired list and he cut the top 5 in Serena's chart. He was hot, handsome, mysterious, funny and a great teacher.
In no time he had students trusting him and teachers eating out of the palm of his hand. And of course Serena played all the tricks in her book to get his attention.
She had no shame in showing him a bit of leg or a bit more skin then necessary. To her having even a minute of Darien's time was enough, for it was nothing but a fairy tale for her to even begin imagining herself to where she was with him now.
But a girl could dream could she not?
*End Flash back*
"Then there was the chase and our bump and grind in the class room,"
*Flash back*
The bell rang signalling the end of the period and the end of the day. But for many it was just hard to just tare them away from there seats as Darien had weaved a magic spell on them.
Who knew that Shakespeare could be so fascinating? Who knew that listening to Darien ramble on about Shakespeare was so fascinating?
Darien's voice called out quick and clear before the mad rush would start to get home first. "Serena! Can you stay behind for a minute?"
Serena felt her cheeks burn up and nodded dumbly as everyone else continued packing up and then making a fast exit. Something that Serena wished she could just do.
When no one else was in the room Darien stalked towards seeing as she was rooted to her spot.
"Ms. Starr?" Darien asked.
Serena shuddered slightly as she heard his silky voice run over her name and Darien watched half amused as she turned a slight shade of pink.
"Serena," Her voice squeaked out.
She mentally bashed herself as she listened to how breathy her voice was. It wasn't like she couldn't speak to hot guys. For gods sake she had dated half the male population at her school.
"Serena, I've been worried lately about your behaviour in class. It seems that you zone out most the time-"Darien trailed off. "Though Ms Haruna tells me that's just one of your lovely traits,"
Serena blushed a deeper shade of pink and twisted her hands nervously. "You're just lucky I don't fall asleep on you," She joked.
Darien smiled but it didn't reach his eyes. "Please tell me what I can do to make your lessons more.enjoyable. It seems to me that you want my attention and then freeze out,"
Serena said and thought to herself, 'If you only knew'
His eyes suddenly zoomed to her mouth where her tongue wetted her lips and he mentally groaned and indiscreetly pinched himself.
She gasped suddenly as his eyes darkened to dark- almost black orbs. His eyes projecting his lust.
She reacted immediately and changed her stance so her shirt rose up revealing some skin and her skirt clinged to her legs just like she wanted to.
Serena didn't know when she changed. She normally was every faithful to her current boyfriend but no one else had got her so excited, so hot before.
He could make her feel things he shouldn't. She did things to him that she shouldn't know how to.
So when Serena saw how close she was to Darien and how much she could feel his body heat travel through and warm her own bones she didn't expect him to draw back.
She didn't expect the curses that he muttered under his breath and his hand that ran through his head. A sure sign that he was troubled. So she was even more surprised when his lips finally crushed down on hers.
His arm snaked around her petite frame and her arms travelled around him to keep their bodies joined together.
Her body reacted almost immediately and she was kissing him back with equal fever and heat. His mouth bruising and demanding against her tender sweet lips.
Her eyes flew open as she felt his excitement press against her stomach and she wrapped her never ending long legs around him and grinded against his pelvis. Making him moan and squeeze his eyes shut.
It took all Darien's will power to not zip down and take her right there. Ravish the minx who was all wrapped around him. Her scent making him dizzy with delight. Her presence just making him feels alive.
A sudden gasp echoed in the deserted classroom as Darien fondled with her breast, his mouth attacking her neck and every sense of right and wrong floated out the window.
They sunk to the floor somehow. Maybe it was because Serena could no longer hold herself up on her own two feet or maybe because it would give them better access to each other.
Whatever the reason they didn't expect to be half naked rolling in between desks on the classroom floor.
Darien gave Serena another hard demanding kiss and tweaked her nipple before gasping out, "Is this what you wanted?"
At first her brain couldn't bring itself to piece together his words together- to full of mush and over work of senses. Then her eyes widened and she pushed herself off Darien. Both immediately regretting the loss of warmth.
"I'm not a whore Darien,"
Darien watched her with even eyes as she tried to cover herself up to his twinge of regret. "No, but this is what you wanted? Wanted to make me notice you. Wanted me to.do what?"
Her eyes filled up with pent up tears and her cheeks burned with embarrassment and the thought of going down and dirty with her teacher just minutes before.
He cursed himself when he saw her tears welling up in her crystal blue eyes and it took every strength of him not to forget all about reason and take her there and then.
"I don't want to be your student. I want to be more,"
*End Flash back*
"We started a very dangerous relationship. During the daytime I would pretend that everything was all right between me and Chris but in between classes and every spare minute I had. I spent with Darien. Then there was the annual spring carnival."
*Flash Back*
Carnivals, fetes, they were all the same. The noise was always the same. Little kids dragging and pleading with there parents to let them ride one more ride. Junk food of every sort littered on the ground.
Fairy Floss being shared around, tickets being sold, happy couples lost in their own world. Screams coming from the haunted house and shrills of delight coming from the Sizzler.
It was Brick Woods Annual Spring carnival. The biggest funniest thing, that even the nerds could come and enjoy.
Everyone was in the highest spirits especially the happy blonde whose grin was so big you would have thought it was stuck that way.
"You've been really happy all tonight Serena," Chris said as his arm tightened around her shoulders.
She fought the urge to shrug his arm off but let it settle there. Darien promised he would make an appearance at the carnival and promised her a ride in the Ferris wheel.
"I'm just really happy that it's a beautiful night and I'm here with you,"
Raye made gagging noises behind their backs and Amy giggled as she picked on her fairy floss.
Chris didn't mind as he leaned in close and kissed his girlfriend tenderly.
'Nothing like Darien's kisses' Serena said to herself wistfully. 'No one could ever compare to Darien's kisses,'
Raye noticed with amusement as Serena checked her watch for the hundredth time tonight and then shot a panicked look at her. Raye glanced at her own watch and saw how close it was to Serena's and Darien's reunion.
"Ah, Chris! Come on you promised me a ride on the. ah bumper cars!" Raye said tugging on his arm.
The bumper cars were the furthest away from the Ferris wheel.
"I did?" Chris asked with a slight frown.
Serena shot a worried look at Amy and she hastily added, "Yes you did, I was right there when you promised,"
"Oh alright," Chris gave in.
They started to move but Serena stood rock to the floor. "I'm going to pass on this you guys. Um, I told Molly that I would meet up with her,"
"I can't leave you alone,"
"Yes you can, I'm a strong girl plus in a crowd like this nobody can try something without drawing attention to them selves,"
After a few more minutes of disagreement they finally decided to go there separate ways. Amy would also go with Serena.
When Chris as out of sight the blonde took off quickly to the Ferris wheel with Amy lagging behind.
When the blue head finally got to the place she couldn't see Serena or Darien any where until she catched Serena lining up in the line holding Darien's hand.
A cocky move but Amy could see the tenderness that they held each other in and smiled as Serena whipped out her hat and tucked in her hair- like that would disguise them.
Amy watched the pair for awhile and then pulled a long face when they started making out like there was no tomorrow. It was her que to stop looking and wander off.
Serena didn't notice that Amy left but she did notice Darien's lips on hers. His kisses wiping out the kisses she shared with her boyfriend.
They finally managed to get in a carriage and they were on their way. They stopped at the top and admired the sun set. His arm wrapped firmly against her waist. Her head snuggled up on his shoulder.
This is where they could spend the rest of there days with. Just holding each other in their arms.
"Now take off your ridicules hat,"
*End Flash Back*
"For my entire senior year I was happy. When Chris broke up with me it was the best thing he could have done for me and for that one year. I didn't have to worry about sneaking around and cheating on Chris. All I had was Darien and he was all I ever needed"
"I remember that year. You were always happy and cheerful. I remembering just smiling 24/7 because you were smiling 24/7," Raye put in wistfully.
Serena nodded sadly, "Yeah, but than came graduation and I thought that I wouldn't ever see him again,"
"But you did," Lita said.
"I did. We parted as friends and I parted as a virgin,"
"You were a virgin! After all that time?" Mina screeched mortified.
Raye slapped a hand across Mina's mouth to quieten her down, "Darien wanted her to lose her virginity to someone special and no matter how Serena tried to seduce him he wouldn't budge,"
"Its hard now a days to find a guy with morals like that but I'm glad we waited because my first time was amazing," Serena assured Mina.
Lita shot Mina an annoyed look before turning to face Serena again. "Continue with the story,"
"Ok. We didn't know that we would ever see each other again but I knew that some thing was special about him. When I started university I thought I was staring a new leaf. Instead I got the shock of my life,"
*Flash Back*
Nineteen year old Serena entered the lecture hall with a determined stride. She had been on campus for nearly a week and classes had only started a day ago and already she was settling in.
She was extremely happy that Raye had been accepted at the same Uni. A familiar face was always a good sign. She was happy that Amy got into a medical school. She could reach her dreams.
"Hey! Meatball head! Over here," A voice called her over.
Serena scanned the crowed with a tight frown until her eyes settled on the smirking raven head. Waving her over.
The blonde plonked herself onto the seat beside Raye and hit her friend good naturally, "Don't call me that,"
Raye shrugged and smiled, "So how is university life treating you Sere?"
"Its only been the second day!"
"Yeah, I've gotten lost like a million times too,"
Suddenly the doors opened and a middle aged man worked his way to the front desk. Nothing was amazing about him. Just like every other professor that Serena had encountered.
"I'm Professor Newton and this is your English 101 class-"He broke off abruptly when the doors opened again revealing a much younger handsome man. With black jet hair.
"And this is my assistant Darien Shields. We will be your teachers for the next so many years. So buckle down kids because this is only the begging,"
Serena gasped as she heard Darien's name out loud and her heart beat raced just a little faster. Ok a lot faster. So fast she wondered if any one else could hear it beat against her ribs.
Raye shot Serena a meaningful look and glanced back at Darien who was making himself comfortable.
"Breathe Serena,"
She stood up suddenly and raced down the stairs and hurried out of the lecture hall.
Darien gazed at the door at the blonde's fast retreat. She looked so much like Serena. He thought to himself before he mentally punched himself.
He had come here to forget about his one time blonde lover not to imagine everyone else was her.
Professor Newton nudged Darien slightly, gaining his attention and then went on talking about the curriculum.
*End Flash Back*
"Serena couldn't hide all the time, I was planning on doing something drastic than Serena has a klutz attack and Darien is right there catching her," said Raye.
"At high school I hated the feeling of sneaking around, I felt like a rotten rat and I hated lying to everyone. But what Darien could make me feel.. I think it was worth everything,"
"So, if you had to do it all over again would you do it the same?" Lita piped up.
Serena looked thoughtful for a second going over every second she had with Darien. "Apart from all the lying, I wouldn't swap my time with Darien for anything. I would have done everything all over again,"
"Not even a year's supply of chocolate?" Mina teased.
"Not even a million years supply of chocolate.. Ok maybe not,"
The 4 laughed and Serena felt happy that she could just laugh if only for a couple of minutes.
"But right now? I'm sick of all the lying and sneaking around. It's driving me insane. And I still have Seiya to deal with,"
~~
Cliff hanger! In the smallest sense.
What advice will her friends give her? Who will Serena choose and what will she do? Find out next time - next time!
I can't make Serena dump Seiya's cheating arse because that would make Serena a hypocrite because she cheated on him right from the beginning.
So unfortunately Ann will again pop up and Beryl will enter the screen again but not right now.
Oh lots of Seiya bashing so don't read if you actually like him.
Flash back time! Might answer some of your questions to.

Chapter 7
Raye shared a troubled look with Mina and Lita as they awkwardly hovered around Serena. Who was hunched over the table, her milkshake placed in her hand but not a sip had been taken.
She had been like that for nearly half and hour and didn't show any signs of snapping out of her broken down trance.
"This is stupid! Can you please tell me why you are all mopey? It's not like you broke off with Seiya. All you did was get into a pathetic squabble," Raye burst.
She gave her friends a so-what shrug as they glared daggers in her direction and a tight frown was placed across the fiery tempered woman.
The three girls raised there eyebrows in surprise as Serena's head lifted up and her normally crystal eyes landed on them.

Nineteen year old Serena entered the lecture hall with a determined stride. She had been on campus for nearly a week and classes had only started a day ago and already she was settling in.
She was extremely happy that Raye had been accepted at the same Uni. A familiar face was always a good sign. She was happy that Amy got into a medical school. She could reach her dreams.
"Hey! Meatball head! Over here," A voice called her over.
Serena scanned the crowed with a tight frown until her eyes settled on the smirking raven head. Waving her over.
The blonde plonked herself onto the seat beside Raye and hit her friend good naturally, "Don't call me that,"
Raye shrugged and smiled, "So how is university life treating you Sere?"
"Its only been the second day!"
"Yeah, I've gotten lost like a million times too,"
Suddenly the doors opened and a middle aged man worked his way to the front desk. Nothing was amazing about him. Just like every other professor that Serena had encountered.
"I'm Professor Newton and this is your English 101 class-"He broke off abruptly when the doors opened again revealing a much younger handsome man. With black jet hair.
"And this is my assistant Darien Shields. We will be your teachers for the next so many years. So buckle down kids because this is only the begging,"
Serena gasped as she heard Darien's name out loud and her heart beat raced just a little faster. Ok a lot faster. So fast she wondered if any one else could hear it beat against her ribs.
Raye shot Serena a meaningful look and glanced back at Darien who was making himself comfortable.
"Breathe Serena,"
She stood up suddenly and raced down the stairs and hurried out of the lecture hall.
Darien gazed at the door at the blonde's fast retreat. She looked so much like Serena. He thought to himself before he mentally punched himself.
He had come here to forget about his one time blonde lover not to imagine everyone else was her.
Professor Newton nudged Darien slightly, gaining his attention and then went on talking about the curriculum.
*End Flash Back*
"Serena couldn't hide all the time, I was planning on doing something drastic than Serena has a klutz attack and Darien is right there catching her," said Raye.
"At high school I hated the feeling of sneaking around, I felt like a rotten rat and I hated lying to everyone. But what Darien could make me feel.. I think it was worth everything,"
"So, if you had to do it all over again would you do it the same?" Lita piped up.
Serena looked thoughtful for a second going over every second she had with Darien. "Apart from all the lying, I wouldn't swap my time with Darien for anything. I would have done everything all over again,"
"Not even a year's supply of chocolate?" Mina teased.
"Not even a million years supply of chocolate.. Ok maybe not,"
The 4 laughed and Serena felt happy that she could just laugh if only for a couple of minutes.
"But right now? I'm sick of all the lying and sneaking around. It's driving me insane. And I still have Seiya to deal with,"
