Chapter Four

Today was Sunday, and Serena knew where she wanted to be. Serena jogged all the way to the arcade, having a major craving for a strawberry milkshake with a cherry on top. As soon as the automatic doors opened for her, she saw Raye walk out, giving her a smile.

"Raye, what are you doing here?"

"What do you mean, 'what am I doing here'? The arcade is a public place, anyone can be here."

Serena narrowed her eyebrows, "Of course I know that! I don't usually see you around here that often, that's all."

Raye began to turn her body to the right, and turned her head to say, "I'm going over at Lita's. I'll see you later okay?" With that, she left and ran down the side walk.

Serena jollied in the arcade. The first thing she saw was that, Darien was sitting by himself (well, trying to anyway) and was just looking at his reflection in his coffee cup. Serena sat in the red swivel chair that was right in front of Andrew. His body was turned around, wiping cups so, he couldn't see her. He turned around, and got so startled by seeing her face, he almost dropped his cup.

"Hey Serena! You scared me for a second there. I just turned around for a quick second, and then BOOM! You're right here." Said Andrew, placing the coffee cup on the counter.

Serena laughed, "Sorry Andrew! Um… I think that you should stop wiping cups for a day or two. You're hands are probably getting pruney by washing them and cleaning them everyday!"

"Ha ha, very funny. So, what are you up to today?" He said, as he rested his elbows on the counter.

"Nothing in particular. I don't know what to do right now. This is such a boring weekend! All the girls are busy, and there's nothing to do!" Serena whined.

"Hmm… I have work all day. Maybe you can spend time with Darien or something since all the girls are busy. You should get to know him, he's a good guy. Maybe he's not busy? You're are going to have to know him sometime…"

She frowned a bit, "Wait, what! What about Beryl?"

"Hmph, look over there." Andrew pointed to Darien's direction and Serena turned the swivel chair around a bit. She noticed one big thing. Beryl wasn't with him today.

"Whoa… w-where's Beryl?"

"They broke up last night actually. Man, you should have heard the whole story. It made me feel so angry. Perhaps Darien will tell you, if you hang out with him today that is." Andrew said with a wink.

"Are you trying to set me up with him or something?" Serena said, while crossing her arms and legs.

"Hmm, I don't know, am I? Well, I figured that since both of you are good friends of mine, and you guys don't really know each other, I thought that you guys should get to know each other better."

"Well, I think that their 'break-up' was big enough news. I think that all the girls are asking him to do something today so, I don't think so." Serena said, while fidgeting with her fingers.

"But Sere--"

"I could ruin his 'popularity' if people see me with him! And, I'm especially going to ruin it by tomorrow! He's going to know who received the part of Snow white, and that's going to make things even worse! He is just another one of those guys that all girls are attracted to because of his looks." She said as she began to raise her voice louder and louder.

"Do you think that Darien is really like that?"

"Well uhm--"

"He's not like that at all. He's not that kind of person. I'm quite surprised that Beryl didn't change his personality because if she did, I wouldn't even be talking to him right now. Popularity? What does that have to do with anything?"

"Don't you know how girls are Andrew? C'mon, you and Rita have your ups and downs. Doesn't she talk about that. Wait, I forgot. She's also popular too!" Serena snapped back.

Andrew went around the counter, and grabbed Serena's arm. They were both standing up and Andrew rushed Serena to Darien's table. Darien looked really confused, and sat up straighter.

"Dude, you haven't touched that coffee ever since you got here. Anyway, I'm sure that you know Serena. She wants to hang out with you today."

Serena shook her head awkwardly, "W-what! I didn't anyth--"

"You don't want to?" Darien began, "You don't want to hang out with me today? Ouch, that hurts." Darien said with sarcasm.

Andrew laughed, "You doing anything today? Any ladies request you to do anything with them?"

"Yeah actually, I got a whole line up. I guess everyone knew about the break up yesterday."

Serena rolled her eyes with disgust. Gee, why am I not surprised.

"Well, I have to get back to work. So, you guys should have a little 'chat'. Bye!" Andrew said, as he some-what sprinted back at the back of the counter, and grinned at Serena, while she gave him a rude look. He stared at her, wondering what she was doing.

"You know, you can sit down." Darien said, as he pointed to the seat that was across from him.

"Oh, right." Serena sat down, kept her head low, and began to fidget with her fingers again. Darien put his elbows on the table because of his boredom.

"So… planning on doing anything today?" Darien asked, just to make her look at him.

"Nothing in particular… how about you?" Said Serena, with a little trembling in her voice.

"Well, I got invited to go to the mall a lot. Ah, these girls just don't quit." He leaned back on the cushioned chair, and began to spread out his arms a little bit.

"Oh, that's interesting…" He's like a lady magnet. Just, not really to me. Thought Serena. She just wasn't sure if she was just lying to herself or not.

"Would you like to go? No offence but, I think that your clothes are a bit too tremendous for you." He said with a little laugh.

"What's wrong with my clothes? They seem just fine to me." Serena said as she was looking down at her clothing that she admired.

"C'mon, lets go. Just wait outside the door for a little bit, and I'll give you a ride there. I'm going to talk to Andrew for a little bit." They both began to stand up. Serena was a bit confused because she thought that it was quite awkward that a popular guy is asking Serena to the mall. THE MALL. That is public domain! Anyone could be there right? What if Beryl was there? She would just tackle Serena as soon as she would see her with Darien.

Andrew saw Serena head out the arcade, and he was wondering what was happening. Did sparks fly or what? He then saw Darien coming towards him.

"Hey Darien, what's happenin'?" Andrew said as he was making coffee for himself.

"I'm taking her to the mall." He began to take out his wallet to see how much money he had. No cash Darien said to himself. Oh well, credit card will do just fine.

"Seriously! She actually asked you!" He said as his eyes began to bulge a little.

"Surprisingly, no. I had to ask her. Well, you know how this test is right? I'll take her to the mall to see if she wants me to buy her anything. If she doesn't, then that means she's not like those other girls that have been following me around." Darien said with a serious tone in his voice.

"Right, right. Well, I think that you should go before she gets grumpy." Andrew laughed.

"Okay, I guess I'll see you tonight maybe. Bye!" Darien headed out the door, and saw Serena standing there by herself.

Ha, I hope this will go alright. Andrew said to himself.

"WHAT! This is YOUR car! You've got to be kidding me!" Serena said surprisingly as she was looking at all of the details of his car.

"Yeah, this is it. There is only one kind of car that was made here in Japan, and I got it. I'll open the door for you." He opened the door for her, and she stepped in. He walked the other way around, and got into the car.

"I'll take you to the Hilton mall." He got out of the drive way, and rolled down the windows for some fresh air.

"WHAT! No! That's the most expensive mall in this town! I have never stepped one foot in that mall in my whole entire life!" She said trying to persuade him to not got there.

"Well, it's time to try something new right?" He grinned.

She pouted. His smile is cute. She thought to herself. Serena shook her head a little bit, wondering why she was thinking about him like that. I can't get too close to him like that. She frowned.

"SIXTY DOLLARS FOR THIS SHIRT! THIS IS THE THINNEST MATERIAL EVER MADE!" Serena yelled loudly in the store. Everyone looked at her obscenely, and then they looked at the person that was at the till. Mocking my store now? The manager whispered to herself.

"Hmm… what about this one? It looks nice, doesn't it?" Darien handed the shirt that he found on near the counter of the till, and she made a face.

She laughed, "I'm not really the kind of person that wants to show my belly button."

"Just go try it on." he looked to his right and said, "Excuse me, can she try this on?"

Serena's eyes widened, and scrunched her face at Darien, "No!"

"Excuse me miss, your change room is this way." The lady pointed towards the change room, and was wondering why Serena was fussing over a shirt. "Oh, that's a good shirt. You should have a pair of jeans with that too." Said the lady. She went towards the jean rack, and found a pair of jeans that looked exactly her size. Maybe, she got lucky with the size the had chosen for Serena.

"Have fun Serena!" He grinned at her, and waved.

"Darien! I'm going to get you for this!" He laughed, and she entered the change room.

"Oh, man. I can't go out like this. I hate it when these change rooms don't have any mirrors. They make you go outside and everyone starts to look at you." Serena said, as she just finished putting her shirt on.

"Come out Serena." He said, while 'acting' impatient.

She whined, "No way! Not like this!"

"If you don't come out ever, how are you going to even get home? Remember? I have to drive you back at school." He said, trying to make her puzzled.

"Ugh! Fine, fine!" She gradually began to open the door, and was trying her best to cover her stomach from revealing. She eventually put her hands at her sides, and twirled twice.

His heart skipped a beat. He didn't realize how long her legs were from those jeans, or at all. Even though she wasn't that tall, she still looked like she had really long legs. Darien saw how fit she was, and could see her abs a little bit. He sighed, and he blushed just a little bit. Shouldn't she have been the one that's blushing? She was just… perfect. Well, right now he thinks so anyway.
Serena hurried to go back in the change room but, Darien stopped her by saying, "You want to get this outfit?"

"No… I couldn't. A sixty dollar shirt, and a one hundred-fifty dollar jeans? Nope, I don't think so."

"Hmm… but, I think that your clothes are a bit tremendous for you." He said, trying not to mock her style that much.

"I'm getting fashion tips from a guy," she laughed. "To me, I honestly think that clothes are just clothes. There's nothing magical about it. I have clothes, and I'm happy. I'm thankful for what I have."

The car ride was pretty silent. Serena felt bad of what she said, she didn't realize that her life was so different from his. She hasn't really seen him wear anything twice, and even if he did, that would be rare.

"I'm sorry for what I said in that store, I didn't --"

"No, it's okay. It just made me realize something." Serena looked at him immediately, and wondered what he could be thinking of. He rested his face on his knuckles, trying to relax while he was driving.

"What did you realize?"

"… Nothing, never mind." He slightly shook his head, not wanting to share his thoughts. "Anyway, has Raye told you anything yet?"

"She was supposed to tell me something? What is it?" She crossed her arms, knowing that Raye was keeping something from her.

"She didn't tell you?" He said, while making a 'joke-looking' face.

"TELL ME WHAT?" She said, raising her voice.

He laughed, "Hmm… maybe I should wait for her to actually tell you. Maybe I'm not allowed to." Darien said, trying to tempt her into knowing what he's talking about.

"Can you tell me? Please?" Serena made her googly-eyed face. The one that would attract any man the most.

"Okay, fine."

"Yay!" She grinned at him. That was the first big smile that she has ever given to him this whole day. He smiled back and said,

"Well, apparently, you're going to stay at my dorm for about a week or so. Maybe two? I don't know. But, it's definitely fine with Andrew and I."

"WHAT! OH MY GOSH! But, but… UGH!" She crossed her arms in a stubborn way, and was pretty angry.

"You don't want to stay with us?" He asked innocently.

"It's not that… I'm just surprised that she asked you guys."

"What's so surprising?" He asked her, trying to make her look for an answer.

They finally got back at the college, and they both exited his car. Serena looked kind of upset in a way. She was happy that she was with his good friend Andrew but, with Darien? She pretty much just met him today, and she's going to stay in the SAME dorm? So many things are going all wrong!

Number one: I got the part of Snow White when I wasn't expecting to.

Number two: I'm in the same room as Darien! Now, this can look pretty bad!

Serena thought, trying to solve her problem. At least, hopes to.

Hello again! Ah, I wasn't really happy with this chapter. I don't know why really, I just don't feel comfortable with it. I didn't get much time to put this all together. Anyway, YOU ALL GUESSED RIGHT. Wow, it was pretty obvious wasn't it? I was actually going to putSerena in a differentdorm but, you guys all guessed "I bet she's going to stay in Darien Dorm" and well, I wanted to make you all happy heh heh. So, I'm working on my next chapter.

Chapter Five: It's FINALLY Monday, and that's when Darien is going to know who gets the part of SNOW WHITE! Will he be surprised? Sad? Or even, happy?

Keep on reading, and please review!
