Chapter 2: Darien

I woke up to my big empty room. It's a new year. No I'm afraid I didn't have a party, didn't have a nice quiet dinner with my family. It's been like this ever since I was 14, when I first moved in with my no good uncle. I should be use to this, but every year that goes by it gets worse. Serena and Andrew are my backbone they are my best friends. Recently Andrew had admitted to having feelings for Serena, he had said he was going to ask her out, but it pained me a bit seeing them together. When I heard she had rejected him, relief healed me I almost smiled until I saw the hurt in my friend's eyes. I never liked the site of Serena being with another boy, we weren't a couple but I want to protect her. She's never had a real boyfriend, and I want to do my best to look out for her. Sometimes I scare myself. I'm so protective of her, but never once did she complain, never once. All the times I made fun of her, calling her a crybaby, she did get a bit upset but quickly jumped out of it. I think about her most of the time. I can't lie to myself she holds my heart and doesn't even know it, I dought she ever thinks of me as more then a friend.

I sat up and rubbed the sleep out of my eyes, the room dark, I never let the sun come in.

I was ready in the school uniform in under 10mins. Walked downstairs into the empty kitchen, the maids had already prepared breakfast for me; eggs, Bacon, and pancakes. "So much food," I thought out loud. "Well you're a growing boy you can't have a sissy meal." Anger once again filling my body, I turned to see my so caring uncle walk out of the kitchen. He could pass as my father with his raven hair and tall stature. I would hate to have a father like him. That was the most he ever really says to me. I ate my eggs and bacon but left the pancakes, I could've eaten it but hated the feeling of obeying my uncle.

I walked to school; I just didn't feel like driving my car, it was only a fifteen-minute walk. I was a bit early for school, and as usual my fan club was waiting for me at the front doors of the school. There stood the three most annoying girls in the school: Sachi, Keito, and Tenshi.

"D-A-R-I-E-N, D-A-R-I-E-N!" they cheered. They had a big white banner saying Darien Chiba, in big red letters; some one spilled to them all my likes and dislikes, to bad they didn't know that I hated annoying obsessive girls. I clenched my fist in frustration. I walked by them without a word, I knew I was being cold but I didn't ask them to stalk me.

I walked into the school and there stood the strangest girl. Her hair so dark, it almost looked purple. She stood there staring at the ground; I took it she was new. Her hair was covering her face it stopped at her chin. She was very petite, smaller than Serena. The girl had skin pale, with a hint of pink.

I turned towards the door leading to the stairs. 'You can't just leave her there,' a voice kept saying in my head. I after standing like an idiot thinking about what I should do, I finally came to a decision. I turned and walked over to the girl.

"Hey are you new, do you need some help?" I asked while putting a hand on her shoulder.

"I have no idea where my locker is, or the office, or even any of my classes, I'm so lost," She said in a voice that sounded like she was crying. This made me a bit uncomfortable.

"Oh… well um… I'll take you to the office." She slowly brought her head up. In shock I took a few steps back her eyes were so beautiful, they glistened as tears rolled down her cheeks. They were big and purple, not common it had to be contacts. Examined her eyes for evidence that she was wearing contacts, and found none. I got a little caught up and jumped at her voice. "I know my eyes…" She turned her head away so I couldn't see them.

"They're beautiful," I said with a smile. I don't understand how she could feel so insecure about her eyes they truly were beautiful.

Her eyes grew wide at what I said. "Uh…" A blush came across her once pale cheeks.

"Come on, the office is this way, I said pointing to the hall to our right.

Later…

I sighed out loud in my business class immediately attracting the attention of everyone including the teacher.

"Mr. Chiba, I don't know why you chose to take this class when you have absolutely no interest." My teacher looks like the typical nerd, with her thick glasses eating her face. Basically her whole appearance screamed nerd, it makes you wonder how she looked as a teenager. The thought made me laugh.

"There's nothing funny about what I just said." Her face grew har.

"I was just thinking about something that made me laugh, I'm sorry." I really wasn't, but I didn't want to get in any more trouble, I got suspended one too many times.

Lunch…

I sat at a table with Andrew and the guys: Rubeus, Malakite, Nephlyte, and Jedite. Andrew was the only one in grade 11; the others were in my grade.

"So Nephlyte, how's it going with you and Molly? I heard you beat her so hard she couldn't walk for a week," Jedite blurted out. He threw his head back and began laughing.

Andrew rolled his eyes, he didn't want to be in the conversation, so he decided to go sit with the grade 11s.

Nephlyte just smirked and said, " That's between me and molly, you don't need to know our business."

" Don't worry, his life is boring he's just trying to live off you." I couldn't help but laugh at what I said. Jedite threw a glare at me.

"My life isn't boring, I get a girl when ever I want, and Darien you could too. You're always rejecting the beautiful girls ready to do anything you ask." Rubeus drifted off into his own little dream world, most likely thinking about all the young girls he took advantage of. For some reason they find his short curly light brown hair adorable.

"For once I agree with Rubeous, Darien you could get a lot of girl, look at your fan club, those are some hot girls. Did you check out that ass on Sachi, I'd love to beat that." Malakite decided to join the conversation.

"The only girl you talk to is Serena," Nephlyte said. I gave him a death glare; he said it as if she was nothing. " Oh don't get me wrong there Darien, She hot, but she doesn't make any moves on you or any guy, you guys are alike in many ways. Maybe it's time to step up you know." He said in a nervous voice, a forced smile appeared on his face.

Jedite stood up. "Maybe I should move on to Serena, it would be a nice change, she's so young and innocent, and that little body…" I slammed my fists onto the table, anger building up fast. "Don't you ever… EVER! Talk about Serena like she's just a piece of ass, or I swear…" I cut myself off and stormed off.

"Darien!" I heard them call after me I just ignored them. That's when I caught site of Serena; she was sitting with her sisters looking bored as she always was with them. The anger just left my body at the site of her, and I decided to go rescue her.

Boo… I'm stressed…review please, with ideas and stuff. I said I would check over my work…but I didn't, kinda rushed sigh I don't like rushing… I'm such a hypocrite I hate it when ppl rush with their stories. My mom is coming home soon… REVIEW PLEASE!
