Chapter Two

Darien's POV

God, I love those people! I mean like I'll spend everyday of this week with Serena! Prove yourself, Dar! She thinks you are this typical basketball captain, which you are NOT! She's different from the other girls. Not only is she smart, but also very pretty and confident. I'm sooo going to show her!

The corridor

There she is. Ok, play it cool Dar. It works on every girl. Ok, beside her. Come on, say something smart.

"You know what? Your eyes are the same color as my Porsche.". I didn't even know when the words escaped my mouth. SHIT SHIT SHIT she looks mad. Dare, where did that come from??

"And that's what counts for you? Fantastic Dar, can you please go away now?" she looks at me angrily.

"Chill out, just joking… So, your place or mine?" Ok, she's smiling. Waitta minute.. I don't like that smile AT ALL!

"Both, actually: I'll go to mine, you'll go to yours." Aaah got me. Not gonna let you get away sweetie…

"We have to spend some time together… You know, the practice?!"

"This school has a very nice gym as far as I know…" she answers. "Today at 3. See ya" and off she goes! Hey, can't she at least wait for my answer?

Math class

Ok, keep it cool. You, Chiba, are never ever nervous around girls. It's easy… Ok, sit next to her. That's the only class I sit next to her. Say something nice.

"I believe that it was Socrates who opined, "Know thyself." Well, I already
know myself, how about I get to know you?" ohh Dar do not try to be clever. DO NOT!!! She'll kill me..

"Yeah? And you know what 'FUCK OFF' means?''

"Yeah, I do know what 'fuck me' means but Sere, never knew you were so quick"

I say, and before she has a chance to say anything the teacher comes in. I ROCK! Well, I don't 'cause she still hates me..'

Serena

Sitting next to him really makes me nervous. God, would I just like to be with him! He is just another stupid guy, remember Serena. Remember.

Ok, here goes the practice with him. That outfit is so not an outfit. I mean like come on, it doesn't resemble one! It barely covers me! Any problemS? Yep… Guys stare too much. Especially him.

I didn't notice him come in to the gym.

" Hey sweetie, ready to get the party started?" He asks.

"Party?" I say still in the dreamland.

"Yep, you know? Me, you? Coolest party ever!"

I just get up and tell him

"ok, let's get this over with!" Does he look hot in that shirt!!! Uhoh, am I now staring for a little bit too long?

"I know I'm not a grocery item but I can tell when you're checking me out" he tells me with his 'I'm so cool' face.

"in your dreamland, Dar" I tell him.

We get started.

"Ok", he says, "let's start off simple": when you dribble the ball, try to make it look as if it was staying there, in your hands a little longer, like this" yep, this move does look great. "Try" he adds.

God, this is a little bit harder than I expected.

"Not like this, Sere, look at my legs. They are bent, see" he tells me. Yep, his nicely shaped legs are… are what? SERENA, concentrate this is strictly for business, remember?

I try my best but doesn't work. He comes up behind me and bents his legs with mine.. I can feel him against my clothes, his nice chest.. His hands on my thighs. Serena, have some decency!

"Much better" he says right into my ear. I slowly rise, trying not to look too disappointed.

We do a few more tricks, before I realize it's already 5.

"Time to finish, Darien. It's getting late" I said. Late?? Serena, if 5 is late for you than.. congrats!

"um, ok, same place and time tomorrow?"

"yep"

"Want a ride?" Yes, of course I do but there is no need to admit it, right?

"Nah, thanks. I'll manage."

"You sure? Because you know, you and my PORCHE match perfectly" Is he being the Jerk again??

"Gimmie a break Darien" I say and walk away. FAST!

I can hear him shout "Love you too honey!"

Darien

Do I have to act like an ass in front of her? It's getting better, she doesn't shout at me no more and than I have to say something stupid and mention the damn porche. First: control yourself. From now on, you Darien Chiba will CONTROL yourself. Clear?

I get in to my car. It's a great feeling to drive it- it's soo smooth! Isn't that Serena there? I see her being pushed around by 2 guys. What the fuck is going on?! She's screaming!

I stop the car and get out of it as quickly as possible. The guys heard me (hello, the scratch of the wheels, hard not to hear!) and turn around.

"Any problems?" I ask Serena. I see she's slightly shaky.

"None of your business" says dangerously one of the guys.

"Well, than you don't mind me taking this girl" I say as I try to take her. The other guy blocks me

"Actually we do." And pushed me. Oh, no, you don't mess with me.

"I strongly suggest you leave this girl alone" I growl.

"And who you might be to tell us what to do?"

"Darien Chiba"

One of them looked at me wide-eyed.

"yyou are… Ddarien Cchibba?

"Do we have a problem?" I ask again, definitely more confidently.

"YES!" Before I know the other one pulls out a knife and before I can get out of the way, scratches my arm.

"You idiot! Run now!" Shouts the other one, and they both run away. I would have run after them, but Serena threw herself at me.

"Daren, God, are you ok?"

"yeah, just a little scratch. I'll live"

"Let's go to your apartment" she says. I don't remember how we even got to my place, but before I knew it she was taking my shirt off and looking at the scratch, which turned out to be pretty big. All I see is her running around, and before I even know what's going on I see her with a first aid kid. WHAT??

"Serena, what the fuck are you.."

"Healing your wound"

"I'm fine" I say as I try to snatch away, but she is quicker.

"Darien, please? It's my fault after all" . Her hand is so warm, I get so hypnotized by her I nod my head slowly.

"It will hurt a little bit" she says., "not much for you".

"You know you don't have to …aaaaaaaaaah" this doesn't hurt! Fuck!!! I could feel my muscles clenching. Do not make a sound, Dare!

"There" she said and walked away.

"That was not supposed to hurt!" I shouted at her.

"If I told you I the truth it would hurt you even more" she answered from my bathroom.

Serena

"My!!! His apartment is sooo nice! I mean I expected a lot of mess, lots of dirt, not washed dishes etc. while this is so.. prefect. Did I just say that out loud?

"What's so perfect?" Darien? How did he… it's his apartment ,idiot!

"Nothing, I really like your place" I said and passed him. Or rather- tried. He stopped me, his arms around me. Serena, come on, GET A MOVE ON! No, don't stop! GOoooooo!

So? What do you think? Any good? Thanks for the reviews 
