"..." Talking

'...' Though

(AN: ...) Author's Notes ( even though no one reads them -.-)

When Darien and Serena finally arrived, Serena was the last one in as usual, but no one expected to see the substitute teacher arrive late. Serena wasn't thinking about that though. She was just shocked to see who the substitute teacher was.

When they were running down the hallway, Serena kind of got the picture that he was substituting there. He had done that in the past. He was the top student at one of the very top schools in the country, after all. Andrew had told her all this one day over coffee.

"Oh yes," He raved about his friend. "Darien entered college as a junior. He only had to go for two years. I guess all those duel credit classes he took in high school really paid off, eh? It kind of makes me wish I hadn't just blown all that off. Maybe I could have escaped college a bit early."

Darien was only 20 years old, although he looked much older. "Not really older," Serena told herself once class had begun. "Just more mature." She found herself admiring him as he was talking. She blocked him out completely, and just watched him. He wrote 'Mr. Shields' on the board and began to talk again, looking through the books on Ms. Haruna's desk.

"Ok class, since Ms. Haruna can't be here for some time due to family complications, I will be taking over for the remainder of the semester." There was a community groan from the boys, and community sighs from the girls. Serena wasn't the only one admiring Darien.

She shook her thoughts off. 'I have him for the rest of the semester?!' Her pleasant thoughts about him were gone. 'I bet he did this on purpose! I bet he knew this was my school and only took this job to piss me off! He's such a...' She thought inside her head. "Jerk!!" She yelled out loud, pounding her fists on the desk, completely losing her inner monolog. The whole class turned to stare. Darien stopped in mid-sentence as well to hear what she was talking about.

"Excuse me, Ms. Tsukino, I hate to interrupt you, but what is it that you're talking about? I'm sure you're not talking about me, as we both know that would get you a detention." Darien responded to her. His voice was low and threatening. She glared at him. "So what if I am?" The class gasped. Where did she come off speaking to a teacher that way? But to Serena, he wasn't a teacher. He was Darien Shields, the jackass of Tokyo. "Besides," She continued. "What business is it of yours?" By this time the class had taken in so much air due to gasping that it was a shock that anyone in the school could still breath.

He growled. "In my office. Now! As for the rest of the class... you're all dismissed!" The class cheered and flooded out of the room as soon as they all could.

Darien began to move quickly to her desk, grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of her seat. He pulled her into his office in the corner and practically pushed her in there. "Serena, just what was that about?!" He yelled. Serena could have sworn the soundproof glass rattled. "What was what about?!" She yelled back. "That pompous display in my class room! You are my student, remember?" She shrank back. She had never seen Darien this mad.

He paced around his office for a moment, steadily getting angrier and angrier. "That's it!" He said suddenly, pounding his fist on the desk next to Serena. "Full day Saturday detention. The next time you feel like being a smart ass in front of my whole class and embarrassing me like that, you'll remember what it was like to spend a whole Saturday in detention!" And with that he left the office, leaving Serena to sit there and contemplate what just happened.

"What the hell..." She couldn't understand. What had made him so damned angry? "It was just a little teasing... jeez..." She said out loud. Her own voice echoed around the office walls, startling her.

Ok, it was kind of short and pointless, but it sets the stage for a WHOLE Saturday ALONE with DARIEN! Now WHO wouldn't want that?! But yeah, I'll have a better one up soooooooon! ;)

Love,
