A/N: Wow. o.o didn't realize how many weeks I had skipped posing for this. Wasn't anything really (with the exception of last week) just hadn't had anything to post for my other story so I forgot totally about this one. x.x I'm going out of state this week end and my friend mentioned one of us witting for this and I thought "when was the last time I posted?" turned out to be about three weeks. X.X Sorry guys. I'm posting this week's chapter early too so I won't have to worry about trying to find a connection in Arkansas. Thanks for your patience!

Enter Serena

"Oh that looks so good Lita!" I squeel in delight when I feast my eyes upon her home made meal. I swear, Lita makes the best lunches.

"Would you like some?" She chuckled as my face was now an inch away from the box. I nodd excitedly. "Ok, let me fix you a plate."

She handed my a spare container she kept in her book bag, along with an extra set of chop sticks. She glanced up & stopped as she was handing me these things. A broad smile stretched across her face. I turn to see what had cought her attention. My heart nearly skipped a beat. It was Darien heading towards us.

I jump from my spot on Lita's blanket & run over to meet him. I plow my body right into his. He wraps his lean muscles around my delicate body. It felt so right to be in his arms again. I felt his warm lips kiss the top of my head.

"Come have lunch with me? I'll have you back before the bell rings." His voice husky in my ear. It sent shivers down my spine. I nodded my head & gleamed up into his brillant blue eyes. He kissed the side of my neck gently. I giggled & took his hand, leading him towards the car.

We both climbed into his red sports car & sat silent for a moment. I finally broke the silence. "How was your day?"

He reached for the ignition & cracked up the car. The smooth vibrations surrounded us. "Good. You?"

I grin widely. "Great! Though I failed my math test again." I say the last line in a small voice. Very small voice.

He have me a playful glare. "Serena." He said in a mocking manner. "You need to study more young lady."

I fidget around with my index fingers. "I know."

"So whats new & exciting?" He laughs changing the subject. My mind jumps back to the day before yesterday. Images of Kyoufuu fill my head. I decide to keep this secret from Darien. He might not like how another guy walked me home.

"Um nothing." I lie. The image of Kyoufuu wouldn't leave my mind. Why couldn't I shake this?

Darien notices my worried expression & gives me a sympathic look. "You sure?"

This startles me & I look at him in suprise. "Y-yea."

"Ok." He shrugs, placing his eyes back on the road ahead.

"How about pizza?" He finally says pulling into a local pizza shop.

"Sure." I say excitedly. He knows me all to well. We walk in & sit down. We begin to chat about random things like school work, parties, food. We finish up our pizza & head back to the car to make it back before the bell rings. Once we pull back into the school courtyard I step out of the car. He rolls the window down & gives me a half smile.

"Thanks for lunch Darien." I smile.

"No problem."

I hear the bell ring. I wave goodbye to my beloved & head back towards the building. On my way I notice Lita in the spot I had left her in with the boy from the arcade. I held back a small giggle & walk right into the school. Maybe everything will be ok after all.
