Chapter 11
The Exchange Student
~The Next Day~
*groan*
"Why did I actually have to wake up to this stupid thing." Serena pounded her alarm clock to be rewarded with a dying "BEeeppp" and tried to fall back asleep.
"HONEY! Get your butt downstairs! Quickly! The first day of school you know..." Ikuko yelled holding a pan of bacon and eggs.
Serena erupted out of her bed and started tearing around her room.
'shower, shoes, no dry, socks, clothes, clothes, what am I saying, uniform, hair tie, jacket, bag, pencil, notebook, umm... what'd I miss... BREAKFAST!' thinking quickly Serena jumped in and out of the shower in a matter of minutes and was ready to go to school within ten. She lept down the stairs, almost crashing into the wall, and ran to the kitchen to grab breakfast.
"Good Morning dear." Ikuko said, dishing out eggs, bacon, and toast at rapidly.
"Thanks for the toast Mom, gotta go." Serena mumbled around her toast in her mouth.
"Oh dear?" Ikuko said.
"Yea" Serena paused, ready to leap out the doorway and run to school.
"You have plenty of time, and you forgot Darien." Ikuko pointed out. Darien was sitting at the table watching Serena's anticks closely, while munching on his toast.
"Oh." Serena relaxed. Dropping her bag and pulling out a chair she sat down, and happily began to shovel her breakfast into her mouth.
"Oh dear..." Ikuko said again, the oil in the pan had caught fire. "well, that's alright." Ikuko said and rummaged through the pantry for baking soda.
Kenji ran into the room, "Something's burning!!!!!" He was throughly freaking out. "Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, the oil is on fire!!!" With that he grabbed the pan, and ran it through the water.
(A.N. this works with ne thing 'cept burning oil.)
As soon as the water hit the burning oil flames shot up to the ceiling.
"Kenji! What'd I tell you about doing something like that in MY kitchen?" Ikuko yelled as she turned, spraying Kenji with the baking soda in the process. The pan forgotten Kenji whimpered and backed away from his wife, who, was still waving the baking soda can around threatening.
"Grab your stuff..." Serena whispered to Darien. "Mom's in one of her moods again."
Darien stood up quickly and picked up his bookbag from underneath the table in one fluid motion. Serena mothioned to Darien to sneak to the door.
"Serena! Where do you think you are going?" Ikuko yelled, obviously noticing Serena walking towards the door.
"To school" Serena replied glumly.
"Oh. Have a nice day honey!" Ikuko yelled, even though Serena was still standing at the front door and four feet away from her.
Checking her watch Serena grabbed Darien's hand and dragged him out the door.
"Come on, we have a half an hour, and I still have to show you around the school." Serena said unhappily.
"Yea, sure..." Darien looked around, was it his imagination? 'Naw don't think so.'
"Hey Serena?"
"Yea?"
"Why are all the people on the sidewalk going back into stores or pressing themselves against the wall?" Darien asked curiously.
"Aaackk" Serena looked at her watch in dispair. "It's broken! We're late!" Serena started to sprint, faster than Darien had ever seen and dropped her breakfast and lunch.
Darien stopped to pick it up and follow, but he lost sight of Serena. 'Lost in Tokyo' Darien thought in despair. 'I'll try following the trail of windswept people. It might work, as long as there isn't another person with the same destructive running as Serena.'
~Later~
Serena arrived at school and looked around. 'Ahhh... 20 minutes to spare... why do I feel that I've forgotten something?' she thought as she glanced at her watch. Tapping it carefully she put the watch up to her ear and listened closely. 'Well, what do you know. It works! Now, what'd I forget?'
~Meanwhile~
Darien had run out of luck. Two paths of pressed people and trampled grass crossed. 'Damn. Maybe my Japanese skills are a little better now. It never hurts to try anyways' Darien walked up to what looked like a shopkeeper picking something up and poked him. The shopkeeper ignored him and picked up something on the ground, a small black beeper.
"Damnit," the shopkeeper exclaimed. "Why in gods name does mom have to page me before school? She just saw me like three minutes ago!" he thought aloud. The light brown haired boy sighed and turned around.
"You want something?" he said with a grin.
"Um... I'm an exchange student, but I'm kinda lost. Can you direct me to Juuban High?" Darien said shakily in Japanese. He had gotten better at Japanese, his experiment didn't even blink and look at him in confusion.
"Sure, I'm going there myself." the boy answered in English.
"Thanks. What's your name?" Darien said confidently in English.
"Jason Kang"
"Darien"
"My Dad got transferred here two years ago. Come on, or we'll be late for the first day." Jason said with a grin. "You'll totally love Juuban. It's really cool for just a high school, you gotta see some of the babes here too. There's a group of 'em that'd you'd just love hang with for a night."
'I hope none of his "babes" hear him right now.' Darien thought casually, his mind blanking out almost completely while Jason was talking.
"Hey, dude..." Jason said, shaking the phazed out Darien
"Eh?" Darien said bemused.
"We're here." Jason commented. "Come on, lets get our schedules and everything." Jason pushed Darien through the doors and right into some girl.
"HEY! Why don't you watch where you're going?" Rei snapped as she turned around.
"Sorry Rei." Darien said, and continued down the hall.
"Wha?" Rei said to Darien's back.
"Hey Rei!" Serena said happily as she made a grab at Rei's schedule.
Pulling her schedule out of reach at the last minute she waved it in Serena's face.
"Too Slow!" Rei said with a grin and danced out of Serena's reach. Serena looked at Rei and pouted.
"Awww, come on Rei. Read off your schedule!" Serena whined.
"Whatever. First up is Bio 4, then Computer Graphics, Calculus, English, World History, and last of all Japanese." Rei said melodramatically.
"Great! I'm with you for Bio, Computer Graphics, and Japanese. I think Ami has Bio, Computer Graphics, and Japanese with us, but Lita might have Calculus, and History with you, and English with me! I'm not really sure about Mina though, I haven't seen her around this morning." Serena blurted out quickly.
"Well--" Rei said before she was cut off
"Actually I haven't seen her all weekend" Lita said, interupting Serena and Rei's conversation. She walked up casually, with her bookbag swinging from her shoulder.
"I'm starting to get worried about her..." Serena said in a hushed voice.
"Worry about who?" a bright voice chirped from behind Serena.
"Uhh...umm..." Serena stumbled as she heard Mina's voice behind her.
"Are you talking about some guy without me?" Mina said pretending to be shocked.
"Of course not!" Serena said confidentely.
"Well, anyways... Who do you have first hour?" Mina asked cheerfully.
"Bio 4 with Ms. Jabe" Rei said recovering.
"Bio 4" Serena said equally as cheerful.
"Great, You guys can always help me with it." Mina said unpreturbed by Rei's silence.
"So... Mina, what'd you do on the weekend?" Rei said casually examining her perfect red nails.
Mina visibly paled but replied calmly as a tribute to her acting skills, "I'll have to tell you guys over the weekend, I saw Lita and Ami already and we're gonna grab our group and have a sleepover. As a tribute to a summer lost, ya know?"
"Yeah, sure" Rei and Serena chorused.
"When are we gonna meet?" Rei asked, now looking at her schedule once more.
"Well, we were thinking about Saturday, like around 5 or six so we could get a few movies and some good gossip in." Mina said easily.
"Sure, as long as I can find something for Darien to do. My mom says he's my responsibility since he's in my grade." Serena sighed, 'No more long weekend plans...' she thought wistfully.
"No problem! Andrew said he needed a few players for a football game on Saturday." Mina said helpfully. 'They were also talking about getting stone drunk, but that's besides the point.' Mina finished in her head.
"That sounds great!" Serena said eagerly.
*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG*
(is it just me or do school bells ring as long as possible?)
"Well, we'd better get to class" Jason said to Darien.
Darien looked over to Jason and blinked.
"oh, heh, yea sure, hold on a minute." Darien said embarassed.
"Whatcha looking at buddy?" Jason pushed him aside to glance at the prom pictures from last year.
"Nothing, nothing." Darien mumbled.
"Hmmmmm... lemme guess, the short haired one?"
"No"
"The girl with the black hair?"
"Nope"
"Hmmmm... How about the one with brown hair? She's not a bad looker."
"No." Darien replied simply.
"Then it's one of the blonds. I'm almost absolutely sure of it."
"..." Darien glanced over at a smug looking Jason.
"I KNEW it! Hey, these are the girls I told you about before. Don't worry about it though, everyone is after them." Jason said with a huge grin.
"So, which one is it?"
Darien turned red and pointed with a shaky finger.
"Niiiiccceee..." Jason said slowly and gave Darien a slap on the back.
"Personally I prefer this one, but I heard she taken." Jason said with false unhappiness.
"Aren't we late for class?" the red Darien said, trying to change the subject.
"Oh, yea... Whatever, you can just say you got lost." Jason said flippantly. "Well, come on then. Let's get going." Jason jumped behind Darien again and started pushing him forward by his backpack.
Darien sighed and started walking. "I hope you know i'm never going to learn my way around the school if you're always pushing me somewhere."
"Of course you will." Jason said airly.
"Whatever. Where are we going?" Darien said happy with the change in topics.
"Well, to our first class geniusman." Jason said sarcastically.
"Umm..." Darien said, thinking outloud. He pulled out his schedule and took a quick glance at it.
"Bio 4!" Jason said mockingly.
"Whoo hoo" Darien continued. Jason stopped and looked at Darien.
"Dude that was weird."
Darien rolled his eyes and kept walking down the hall.
"Hey, Darien! Wrong way, homeroom first!" Jason said walking in another direction.
"I wouldn't have the same homeroom as you anyways. My last name starts with an S and yours starts with a K" Darien stated simply.
"Naw uh." Jason replied "homeroom's go by grades, so you're still stuck with me!"
"The insanity, the insanity" Darien said mockingly.
"Oh come on then." Jason said grabbing Darien's backpack and dragging him down the hall.
~In Class~
"Hey class! I'm your homeroom teacher for this year. I'll pass out your student IDs in a minute, first i need to take role." the short blond teacher bellowed out from the top of her desk.
"Hmm...." Rei said examining her nails 'Looks like we have another crazy teacher.'
"I like that red!" the teacher said, rather loudly, in Rei's ear. Without Rei noticing the teacher had jumped down from the desk and was now examining Rei's nails with her. The class, of course, was staring at the usually haughty Rei for a response.
Surprisingly Rei grinned at the enthusiastic teacher and picked up her bag from under the desk. She suffled through it for a short time and came up with a pencil and a piece of paper.
Just then Darien and Jason walked in, rather embarassed, but smiling nonetheless. The homeroom teacher, Ms. Stratman, looked up immediately and grinned evilly at her new victims.
"Well hello there Jason! Who's your buddy?" she asked in a forced voice.
"Uhhh... Well, his name is Darien-" Jason started
"-and he's an exchange student from America. He's 17 years old, and living at my house." Serena said weakly. She got up and walked over to Darien apologetically. Darien smiled and gave her a thumbs up sign.
The teacher clapped energetically and smiled towards the class, "Well at least I know two people who are here today! Jason and his buddy Darien. Now how's about they call role for me?" the teacher said happily.
"Ok." Jason said, still smiling. "Just smile Darien, I think it confuses her." Jason whispered cautiously.
"Ok then." Darien whispered back eyes locked on Serena.
"Here, I'll read the names and you just go find a sit." Jason said with a wink. He pushed Darien towards Serena's seat and gave him his backpack. "Find me a seat too" and with that Jason just smiled and flipped through the list.
"Aino, Mina!" Jason began.
"Here!" Mina said smiling at Jason.
While Jason continued to call names Darien dropped his backpack by Serena's desk and slid Jason's over towards the seat right next to Mina's.
Serena looked over at him with a look of a profuse apology. Darien just winked and turned his attention back to Jason, who was deliberately pausing after calling someone's name. Jason met Darien's gaze a smiled, his new friend was being informally introduced to everyone in the senior class. Serena glanced around the room to meet the amused gazes of her best friends. Serena blushed and turned back to face the teacher.
"Well, now that everyone has been aquainted with each other" she winked at Darien and Jason, "I'll give you your student ids. Oh and you have to fill out this nifty form from the voice above." she said with a large smile.
'Voice from above?' Darien thought with his eyebrows raised, 'the office announcers maybe?'
The teacher counted out stacks of paper for each row and dropped them on the first desk of each row. She then grinned yet again and grabbed the stack of student IDs. "Everyone except the back row! I suggest you keep your heads down!" She smiled ferily and began throwing the cards to each and every student, making sure it landed on each desk perfectly.
'Weird' Serena thought and looked at Darien's reaction. Unfortunitely he had raised his head just in time to be caught with an ID. Serena giggled and handed the ID to Jason who then slapped his hand onto Darien's back. Darien, now beet red, rubbed his eye in embarassment and turned to a very amused Serena just in time to see her get hit by another student ID. Serena giggled helplessly and fell out of her seat in laughter. Darien's booming laugh caught everyone's attention when he couldn't hold it in any longer.
