Chapter 13
The Exchange Student
"Out in the hall you two!" Mr. Kaino said with a smile.
Still laughing Serena and Darien made their way out into the hallway and closed the door behind them.
After ten minutes they were no longer laughing but staring off into space. Rather Darien was staring at Serena and Serena was looking down the hall.
A few more minutes went by before Darien spoke up.
"So how long do you think we'll be out here?"
"No idea" Serena replied shortly.
"Have you had Mr. Kaino before?" Darien tried again.
"No" Serena replied squinting as she looked down the hall at two figures. "Is that...Mina?"
She glared at the couple down the hall who were lip-locked and making just enough noise for her and Darien to hear it all the way down the hall. Serena glanced at Darien briefly before returning her gaze to a blank spot on the wall, completely tuning out her busy friends down the hall.
Darien followed her gaze down the hall and smiled to himself.
"Jealous?" he whispered into her ear.
Startled Serena jumped and swung her head around to meet Darien's eyes.
"What if I am?" Serena replied with a smirk.
Darien grinned and backed her to the wall, one hand now pressed against the wall and the other close to Serena's waist.
'Almost' Darien and Serena thought to themselves.
BAM
"Fuck!" Darien bit out as the door slammed into his head.
"Wot'cha doing there mate?" Mr. Kaino said with a laugh.
"Apparently getting hit in the head by the door." Darien said sarcastically.
"Anyways, class is nearly over yea? So come in and grab your stuff before the bell rings." Mr. Kaino continued unaware of the sarcasm.
BAM
"#$$#$$#!#!&(()($#" Darien swore again.
"Never mind mate, they beat you to it." Mr Kaino quipped before striding into the room and bursting into laughter.
"You okay?" Serena asked concern evident on her features.
"Just peachy" Darien winced as he touched the back of his head before realizing that he was pressed chest to toe against Serena. Her hands were pressed against his chest, apparently to stop him from falling completely on her after the first door swing.
Serena's hand snaked around his neck as Darien leaned in. Darien enjoyed the feel of her fingers playing lightly over his shoulder muscles and up his neck...until she touched the spot where the door had hit him.
She frowned and pulled her hands away.
"You call this okay?" Serena pushed him away from her slightly and showed him blood on the tips of her fingers.
"Fine enough." Darien said undeterred and leaned in again.
Serena sighed, grabbed his hand and dragged him out of the door's range before stomping into the room grabbing both their bookbags. She stopped for just a moment to catch her breath.
'Again again again... how many times does that make? two or three? AND we're not even half-way through the day.' Serena thought to herself while trying to calm herself. she slung hers over her shoulder and tossed Darien's to him before briskly walking to their next class.
"Class Darien, we still have class." Serena reminded him when he simply stared at her retreating form.
"Oh, right." Darien said slightly confused and walked after her.
"What's your next class?" Serena asked when he caught up to her.
"BC Calculus? with someone named Sadonchi?" Darien said as he pulled out his schedule.
"Down this hall and to the right. We're in different classes for this period. Have fun with Rei and Ami!" Serena said as she hurried off towards her next class.
Darien blinked at her retreating for a few times before turning on his heel and heading off towards his next class. "BC Calc... Sadonchi" he mumbled to himself as he looked at the signs on the doors.
cough cough Someone on Darien's left coughed politely while tapping him on the shoulder. Too concentrated on finding his class, Darien didn't even notice until a particuliarly vicious poke.
"ow!"
"Our class is three doors back that way" Ami said politely pointing in the direction of a closed door.
"oh hey Ami, thanks..." Darien said rubbing his shoulder where Ami poked him.
sigh
"Math is soo boring..." Serena grumbled to herself as she watched her AB calculus teacher sketch out diagrams on the board meticulously.
Her teacher, Mrs. Buchian, was drawing out the diagrams soo carefully she had chalk on her nose when her face whipped around to glare at Serena.
"Math is NOT BORING!" She almost yelled, her red, sleep-deprived eyes bulging out.
"Sorry?" Serena offered and took the opportunity to draw the diagram on the board in her notebook.
"Good!" Mrs. Buchian said forcefully and turned sharply back to the board.
poke poke "hmm?" Serena said in her stupor before realizing someone had slipped a note into her hand.
'S,
this class is friggin' boring! it's just our luck that we're sitting at the two furthes spots from each other.
any ideas to spice this shiz up?
oh and btw, what's with you and your boy?
tell me later at the arcade yea?

Serena smiled at the note and began writing one of her own.
wrote chapters, lost chapters, wrote 'em again, lost 'em again.
