Catching Up

At the end of the day, Darien got out of his class early and waited outside of her classroom. The bell rang and students fled out excited to be going home after a hard first day's back.

When he saw her, he pulled her out of the crowd. She was so surprised. She squealed until she noticed what was happening. She got away from his hold, though she didn't really want to, she hid it and walked towards her locker. He rolled his eyes and followed her.

"We need to talk," Darien said touching her on the arm.

She could of sworn she felt a tingle when they touched, but pushed it aside.

Serena was getting angry glares from a lot of girls, but was oblivious to them. Mina on the other hand, was smiling at her and winked. Now it was her turn to roll her eyes.

"Okay, after I put my stuff away," she said and opened her locker.

Darien leaned against the a locker waiting. Mina went up to the two.

"Hi, Serena. Who's your friend? You must introduce us."

Serena put the last of her things away and closed her locker.

"Darien, this is Mina. Mina, this is Darien. Darien was an old friend. Mina's my cousin that I just met a few years ago."

Mina shot Serena a knowing look for she already knew who he was and now remember that she had some pictures in her room that look very much like him.

Darien, being a gentleman, flashed her a brilliant smile that would make any girl melt and took out his hand. Mina returned the smile and shook his hand. Mina's smile would have had that same affect too, but on guys. She was one of the hottest girls in school, even though she was only a freshman.

"Nice to meet you," they both said in unison and laughed.

Deep in Serena's stomach, she felt sick. She didn't know why.

"Well, Darien and I need to catch up. See you later."

They walked in silence until Darien broke it.

"So, where to?"

"The Crown Arcade. You know, the one where that blonde guy gave me a free ice cream scoop? His son works there now. In fact, he goes to out school; about I think a junior like you. Maybe you've seen him around? His name is Andrew," she started gushing about him.

Darien wasn't really paying attention after that, "I think someone has developed a crush," Darien interrupting her, irritated. He was kind of getting tired of Andrew this… Andrew that… It made him sick.

"No! He's just a great guy, unlike you,"

"You don't even know me."

"Oh, yeah? Try me. I already know that you are a jerk."

"Okay, Meatball Head, what are my favorite kind of flowers? They may have changed, or they may have not."

"Roses."

"My favorite colors?"

"Blue and black. Even though black isn't really a color…"

"What do I want to be when I grow up?"

"A doctor."

"Okay, what is my favorite smoothie flavor?"

"None, you hate smoothies."

"Okay, since you know so much about me, my turn."

"What are my favorite flowers?"

"Roses."

"Colors?"

"Pink, light blue, and yellow."

"You're good. What is my favorite food?"

"Chocolate. You can't live without it."

"I give up."

The Crown Arcade came into view.

"Here we are," she saw Andrew and flashed him a dazzling smile, "Hey, Andrew."

"Hey, Serena. What can I get you?"

"The usual for me and…" she looked at Darien.

"Coffee. Black coffee," he finished.

She looked at him strangely. "Black? Gross. I need lots of cream and sugar in that."

"You know, you can die early from all of that junk food you eat."

"Yeah, but life is short and you are not a doctor yet, so don't tell me what to eat and not to eat."

"I'm just caring for your well-being. All that food you eat is going to come back to you, Meatball Head." he smirked.

"My name is Serena!… Wait, are you calling me fat?"

He started laughing, but stopped when he got hit in the head.

"I said it will come back to you. I never said you are fat. I mean with all the junk you eat I'm surprised you're not fat yet!" he said bursting out laughing.

She took one last slurp. She look at his laughing figure and had an evil glint in her eyes.

She murmured, "Sorry for wasting such a perfectly good milkshake," and dumped it all over his head.

"That'll show you!"

With a huff, she was gone. He watched her leave and then paid before getting up and leaving himself.

This was definitely a good day… he thought grinning while he replayed her cute face angry over and over in his head.

So? How was it?
