A/N: Hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving and finally another chapter. Hope you guys love it.
It was a Friday before the weekend; Serena began to feel her anxiety about meeting with that woman again build up in her. She sat in her math class and stared blankly at the white board drifting off into thought about how she would preoccupy the woman's daughter all she knew was the girl like my little pony. Serena had considered stopping by a toy store after school and picking up a my little pony coloring book to keep her occupied other than having her sit in front of the TV for hours. While she was lost in her thoughts she almost completely missed an unfamiliar boy walk into the middle of class while being escorted with one of the school's consolers.
"Excuse me Ms. H?" The school consoler interrupted her lesson.
"Yes?" She said annoyed, Serena and every student knew the woman hated any interruptions she wasn't a very patient woman and probably choose the worst career to enter in due to her lack of patience.
"I have a new student for you," The woman smiled and pushed the boy in front of her.
"Would you like to introduce yourself?" The consoler asked the boy.
He wore jet black hair in a long ponytail tied tightly back so it lay against his back. His eyes were a light blue and sparkled a little when Serena looked into them.
"Hi everyone my name's Seiya Kou," He shuffled awkwardly in front of everyone.
"Aright Seiya if you would like to take a seat behind miss Serena over there so we can continue on with our lesson," Ms. H gestured.
"Which one is Serena?" Seiya smirked.
Serena awkwardly raised her hand to help Seiya identify her, "I am,"
He nodded and then made his way back and sat in the empty desk behind hers. The rest of the class dragged on rather slowly while Ms. H complained about the interruptions she always had to deal with until the bell finally rang. Serena began to gather things up and put them in her bag when she felt a soft tap at her shoulder.
"Hey Serena, I am Seiya," Seiya smiled at her extending his hand to her.
"I know you introduced yourself to the whole class," Serena giggled shaking his hand.
"Oh right. Well what's your next class?" Seiya asked.
"Child development in room 100B, what about you?" Serena smiled.
"Oh you're in child development that's pretty cool, and computer sciences in 105B," Seiya said, "Though I am not sure where I am going."
"Well that room is in the same hall as my class, I'll show you," Serena said leading the way through the school's halls while Seiya followed close behind.
"So why child development?" He asked.
"I want to be a school teacher one day so I thought I could get a head start on my career while I am still in high school, why computer sciences?" Serena asked laughing at the man's curiosity.
"I didn't choose it I wanted to be in a music class but I guess those classes were filled," Seiya shrugged while the two headed down a flight of stairs.
"Oh you play music? What instrument do you play?" Serena asked.
"Guitar, you should come see me play with my band this weekend," Seiya gave her a grin.
"I would but I have to babysit anyways here's your classroom," Serena smiled once outside his classroom.
"Thanks," Seiya said tearing a corner of paper out of his bag and grabbing a pen, "And text me if your babysitting ends early and you want to hear some good music," He said after scribbling something on the paper and handing her the paper.
Serena nodded and smiled at him before leaving and heading to her own classroom. Once inside her child development class she sat down next to Molly.
"Why do you look so happy Sere?" Molly said while she analyzed her overly happy friend.
"I met a cute guy," Serena blushed.
"What about mystery man?" Molly frowned.
"Again he is a mystery I don't know his number and it's doubtful I will meet him again, this guy however goes to our school and wants me to go to a music gig when I am done babysitting this weekend," Serena grinned from ear to ear.
"Alright Serena but just be careful you only met him today don't rush it just be friends with him first," Molly advised.
"I will I don't need a repeat of Andrew," Serena giggled.
The rest of the school day dragged on quite slowly but once it ended Serena made her way out to the school's courtyard where she pondered on where she could pick up a my little pony coloring book and some crayons for the little one she was babysitting tomorrow. She began to think of stores she could get such items.
While she once again got distracted by her own thoughts and got lost away from the world around her she hardly noticed Seiya walk up to her.
"Hey Serena?" Seiya said snapping Serena back to reality.
"Yes?" Serena smiled.
"Do you daze off in la la land often?" He chuckled.
"You have no idea, I was just thinking about where I could get a kid's coloring book and crayons," Serena said.
"I could help you," Seiya smiled.
"Sure I would like some company," Serena laughed, "But that doesn't help where we should go to get such a thing."
"Maybe a grocery store? They carry a lot more things than groceries. Damn those misleading titles," Seiya laughed at his own joke.
Serena laughed a little not thinking it was too funny, "We could try," she shrugged feeling a little awkward now.
Serena led the way to the nearest grocery store from the school while Seiya walked with her. For a while the two walked in an awkward silence not sure what to say since they didn't know much about one another.
"So where did you move from?" Serena asked curiously.
"I actually didn't move, I just swapped schools," Seiya said while he kicked a pebble as they walked along the sidewalk.
"Why?" Serena said raising a brow in wonder why he would switch schools during the middle of senior year.
"That's a story for another time," He laughed.
"Okay," Serena shrugged when they finally reached the grocery store.
The two walked inside and began to walk up and down assorted aisles hoping to come across a coloring book. When they finally reached an aisle with pens and pencils Serena found the my little pony coloring book and smiled to herself knowing she would definitely make this little girl happy tomorrow. She also found a box of crayons not too far down the aisle and took both items up to check out.
While Serena and Seiya waited in line to check out Serena took this time to observe the man before her. He was nothing like mystery man who she mistook to resemble him earlier. He was attractive in his own defense though Serena had to admit. He was a little odd though to her. He had an odd sense of humor and something was tugging inside of her to find out why he swapped schools but she knew he didn't want to talk about it and didn't want to push him.
Once the two finally reached the register Serena gave the cashier a warm smile and handed him a ten for the items and received her change and then the two headed outside.
"Thanks for coming with me," Serena smiled at him.
"Of course and let me walk you home its dark outside now," Seiya said.
Serena only nodded appreciating how much a gentleman he was. The two awkwardly walked in the direction of Serena's home while the two began to talk about their interests in everything to food and movies.
"So tell me do you only like sweets or do you actually like a real food?" Seiya laughed pulling at her pigtail.
"I love Italian food," Serena smiled at the thought of pizza and other Italian dishes.
"Is that where the hair is inspired from?" Seiya teased.
"My parents styled this when I was little and I just never changed it," Serena shrugged, "Maybe they based it off the food."
When the two finally reached outside her house Serena turned to him and gave him a quick hug, "Thanks for walking me home and for being so kind," Serena smiled.
"Thanks for being my first friend in the school," Seiya smiled back causing Serena to blush a little.
Serena waved goodbye and headed inside her house and upstairs to shower and change for bed.
Beryl packed her suitcase while Darien sat behind her watching what she packed silently judging everything she put into the suitcase noticing was nothing business related.
"Tell me Beryl do you really need to bring a bikini with you on this business trip," Darien said from behind her.
"Sure once I am done with business then I will relax in our hotel's hot tub," Beryl grinned thinking she outsmarted them.
"Then why are you bringing your clubbing outfits?" Darien raised his brow hoping she would finally admit this trip was a sham.
"Look I get it you don't want some stranger watching our daughter tomorrow but things will be fine okay so stop judging everything I am packing already," Beryl snapped.
Darien shrugged and gave up and headed out of their bedroom down to their daughter's room who was playing with her pony dolls. Darien smiled at the sight of his daughter then returned back to the living room and turned on the TV to his favorite show and eventually drifted off to sleep on the couch something that was bound to become a more constant thing now.
