Thanks for sticking to this story.


I wasn't on good terms with Darien or Rae. Since Darien started dating Lita there was nothing to talk about. We usually talked about what stupid thing Lita did or who Mina was dating or who won the game last weekend. Now we just sat there waiting for one of us to speak.


3rd Period

"So, how are you?" I asked.

"I'm doing fine. What about you?" he answered back.

"Good, you're still dating Lita right?" Serena said.

"Um, I sort of still date her." Darien sighed.

"I thought you hated her." Serena sat back in her chair.

"Well, she is not that bad, sometimes." Darien was sitting still.

"Well, she makes me want to hurt myself just so I can get away from her." I looked at the ground.

"Please don't" Darien whispered under his breath. He thought I didn't hear, but I did.

"What did you say?" I asked confused.

"Huh, Wrestling won there match the other day." Darien stuttered

"That's not what you said. What did you really say?" I was asking him as the bell rang. He jetted out of the classroom. I guess I won't know if I heard what I thought. I went to my next class. I wondered what it meant. Did he like me? Or am I just jealous and I don't want to state the obvious.


5th Period

I sat down in my seat. It was across from Darien. I didn't know why I picked it on the first day, but I do now. So I can look at him. Next to him was Andrew. They both had my heart. They also had me confused.

Ms. Haruna said, "Ok Class, usually I say pick your partner and get to work, but since you always pick the same people I thought I would mix things up a bit." The whole class sighed except me. If she doesn't pick partners I end up working alone. "It will be fun you guys. Ok in my hand is a deck of cards. Each student is going to pick a card then find that person with the same number. There is two of each number." She walked around allowing kids to pick cards without looking into the black bag she out them into. I got an Ace of Hearts. I looked around for another Ace. Too much of my dismay Andrew was my partner. Ok, I know that I said he was hot, but Lita and Darien were paired up together. The whole time I was working with Andrew I didn't talk. I kept looking at Darien. Once, when I went to look at him I saw him look at me and give me a sorrowful expression. What did that mean? What was going on in his head? Only he knows.


Darien P.O.V.

Ok, I know that Serena likes Andrew, but why is she so depressed. She looks so beautiful. No one that beautiful should be depressed. It only depresses her admirers. I sighed. I was stuck with Lita while Andrew was happy because he was partnered up with Serena.

"Hello, are you paying attention I don't know the answer." Lita intruded my thoughts.

"Maybe, if you tried reading the stories, you would find the answer.' I'm never that mean, but it seemed she was hurting Serena. I'm not allowed to talk to Serena when Lita was around. All Serena wanted was for her friends to be there for her.

Lita huffed, "Fine."


Back to Serena's P.O.V.

I heard Darien huff, "Maybe, if you tried reading the stories, you would find the answer." His huff was so cute. It made me want to lean over and kiss him if he was close enough. It meant that he still hated her. Then why was he dating her?

"Serena, what is the answer to number 3 and are you going to get the answers down." Andrew asked.

"Yeah, sorry I'm just tired." I looked at the question. "The answer is B. Let me see what you got so I can get the answers down."

A few minutes after that the bell rang.
