Chapter 4


The Exchange Student

"Serena?" Darien asked loudly. "Where are we going?????"

"Home. We're late for dinner, and if you're late for her dinner she thinks that you don't want it and puts it all away!!!" Serean said, running along the street and dodging people.

Darien followed closely behind, which was pretty easy, considering his all-state status at home for soccer and lacrosse.

*(AN Where I live all state athletes are the best, and also have pretty good grades.)*

Serena, who was beginning to tire slowed down, and then finally stopped.
Darien didn't notice she slowed down, so for the second time that day, Serena's head bumped into Darien's hard chest.

"Sorry." Darien mumbled his apologies. Serena, a little winded, and a little dizzy from running soo fast tried to shake the feeling off, but started to fall backwards. Darien reached out quickly and grabbed her waist so she didn't fall.

"Sorry, I just got a little winded." Serena apologized and looked up, to see Darien's eyes full of concern.
'girl, you know that Derek is a fink, why not dump him and go after this one. You might get to do whatever you want, considering he does live in your house.' her subconcious reasoned.
Eyes still locked with Darien's she tried to will herself to get out of his warm, enticing arms, but failed.

Darien sensed her need to get out of his arms, but he thought it was all to soon and tightened his grip. He just forgot about everything in the world, and gazed into Serena's eyes.

"BEEEEPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BEEEEPPP BEEEP BEEEP!" a car horn shrieked. Surprised, Darien let go and Serena jumped backwards.

Darien and Serena looked up to see whom the occupants of the car were, and were surprised to see it was the girls.

"Hey girl!" Lita yelled.

"You guys want a ride?" Ami asked.

"Um..." Serena contemplated/

"Come on," Rei said, and dragged Serena and Darien to the car. Rei had noticed their position, at the crosswalk.

For the other girls, this had not gone unnoticed either. Ami had thought it would be good idea to get them out of a public place at least, and into Serena's home. Rei, however, just wanted to get out of the car and drag Darien inside.

It was a bit squished in the car with the two new arrivals, but no one really minded.
Darien didn't really mind being squished up to Serena, but did mind the way that Rei was snuggling up to him.
The silence in the car was deafening.

"So, guys, where did Mina go?" Serena asked curious.

"She said, 'Andrew will give me a ride home when we're done!'" Lita said as she pulled into Serena's driveway.

"I hope she's not doing anything too bad. She's told me they're already past base two." Serena said worriedly.

The girls just shrugged.

"Well, you never know. Andrew is already out of high school and..." Serena trailed off, realizing what she was going to say in front of a guy.

Serena needn't have worried; Darien wasn't really listening. Just staring intently at Serena. Thinking of what he could do to get her as his girl, and make her love him.
'Wait love me? When did this come up?' Darien thought to himself.

"Thanks for the ride guys, if you want I can ask mom if she'll give you guys some dinner..." Serena offered, thinking about it for a minute.

"Naw. We're going to Lita's to grab some of her great pasta." Ami replied.

"Come on Darien. Let's go before Mom gets really mad!" Serena grabbed Darien's hand and ran for the door.

"Bye," Darien said simply as he was whisked away by Serena.
