Thanks for all of the reviews! Sorry I didn't get to update earlier because my computer had something weird wrong with it… Well, here is the new chapter!

Finish Up

Mina and Serena walked to their lunch table.

"Hey, guys. How is the first day doing you?"

Everyone groaned with the exception of Amy, who replied with a, "Great!"

Cue for a sweat drop.

They started talking about how their day was going.

"So, what are you guys trying out for?" asked Andrew after everyone shared their experience of their first day of school.

"I'm think volleyball," replied Mina.

"Choir," said Raye in a matter-of-factly way.

"Either karate or wrestling, but I don't know if they let girls into wrestling, so I will most likely go for karate. Cooking isn't until fourth quarter," Lita responded.

"I'm going for track!" Serena exclaimed.

Cue for another sweat drop.

"Okay, of course Darien and I are going for our sports, basketball and football. What about you, Amy?"

"I'm considering swimming," Amy answered.

"Really? Good because sports can be good too, not just schoolwork all the time."

"I know."

Seiya joined them. "Mind if I sit here?" Seiya asked them.

"No, the girls answered awfully quickly.

They guys just rolled their eyes.

"So, what sport are you trying out for?" Serena asked.

"Either basketball or football, so get ready for competition guys."

"Oh, we'll be ready," Darien replied.

Everyone was silent after that.

Darien didn't like seeing Seiya flirt with Serena. He saw those light brushes when he pretended to accidentally touch her. He couldn't take it anymore. He hurriedly ate and made an excuse to leave.

"I have to go finish something up. See you guys later."

Mina and Serena shared a knowing smile.

After lunch the girls left Serena with Seiya. Again, he walked her to class.

"Serena, you seem like a cool girl. I would like to get to know you better. How about you and me at the arcade after school?"

Serena frowned. "Well, you see Darien and I have this thing that he takes me to the arcade on Mondays." she made up because she really wanted to talk to Darien after school.

"Oh, not, it's cool. I see you're taken by him. I never thought he could have everything in this school," he said walking away.

"Wait, no, it's not like that. We're just good friends. We knew each other when we were kids. I can do it tomorrow." It seems like Darien is too stubborn into confessing so soon. I shouldn't have to wait for him. Plus I like this guy; he seems cool.

He turned around and flashed her a charming smile. "Cool. See you later."

She nodded and went inside her classroom where she was bombarded with questions.

After school, Serena looked around the school for Darien and found him.

"There you are. I've been looking all over for you. We need to talk."

He nodded and opened his car door for her. They drove to the arcade in silence. They got their own booth and Darien ordered coffee and a chocolate milkshake for her.

"So, what was up with lunch? You didn't really have something to 'finish up'. Everyone could so tell that that was a lie."

"No, I didn't I just don't like that guy."

"Why?"

"Because he's bad news, Serena. I don't want you hanging out with him."

"You can't tell me who or who not to hang out with. I'm hanging out with him tomorrow whether you like it or not."

"No, you're not. He's just using you to get what he wants."

Serena got up. "I'm a big girl, Darien. I don't need your protecting anymore like when I was five. You know what, Darien? I'm starting to think you're jealous. Why can't you just be happy for me?" she said and left. Yeah, if you don't want to admit that you like me and he does, you have no right to. I don't belong to you.

Darien watched her leave. Why can't I just tell her? Everything will be okay when I do, so why not? He ran his hand through his hair in frustration.

Because I'm afraid of rejection…

So, what did you think? Please review! Watch out for the new chapter. What could happen next? Will Darien confess? Will Serena go to that date with Seiya after all? Only I will know that and you will know next time. Hahaha… Well, I feel bad for tormenting you, but it will all be good in the next chapter. At least I hope it will…
