The Mechanics

Serena POV

I sat watching the clock tick slowly...the day had been manageable but long. I had been able to relax a bit more about everyone gossiping now that I knew I had a "date" for the dance. I could pretend Darien was my boyfriend and take him to the dance, once everyone's question were answered enough so that my lie wouldn't be obvious we could break-up and everything would go back to normal. Simple as that.

Thing was I didn't know if I could really not argue with Darien. He was the jerk would had wound me up and insulted me every day for the past year after all. If he kept calling me Meatball head or made fun of me would I be able to not get into a fight? And if we weren't fighting how exactly was I supposed to act? I did really know how to act like a couple...I'd never had a boyfriend before. Would I have to cuddle up to and kiss Darien Chiba? Whilst yes he was good looking I wasn't blind but it was weird! He was Darien!

Either way I was about to find out.

Darien rounded the corner at the same time as I did as usual, but unlike usual I didn't walk straight into him because I knew he would be there. I was nervous...why?

"How was detention?" he asked, stopping in front of me. Did we always stand so close? Actually thinking of the times we fought...we probably did but I just never noticed before. I awkwardly took a step back.

"Pretty much the same as any other detention." I muttered.

"Cheer up Meatball Head." He smirked, reaching out to grab my arm. "After all you should be happy that you get to spend so much time with me this week." He pulled me close to him and instantly my face became a colour very similar to a tomato.

"What are you doing?" I asked warily.

"I think people might think it strange if we don't get within six feet of one another all week don't you?" he replied, his breath washing over my flushed face reminding me how close he was.

"People are going to think this is strange full stop." I replied. I couldn't look him in the eye. I didn't know what to say or do and my stomach was tying in knots. I moved to step back but he stopped me.

"You've never had a boyfriend have you?" he asked in a softer, slightly surprised voice.

"So?" I pouted, embarrassment flaring up again I turned my head to face away from him.

"Don't tell me you've never been kissed?" he asked, catching my chin and turning my head back to his.

"I have so!" I protested, glaring up at him. I gulped and stumbled to find some more words. He was looking at me like I fascinated him, confused him...it was very unnerving. "Once..." I admitted.

"Well consider this a learning opportunity." He smirked suddenly before leaning back up and opening the arcade door for me. It took me a moment to regain my senses. For a moment then I thought he was going to kiss me. I wasn't sure whether I was relieved or not that he hadn't and that worried me even more.

"So what do we tell everyone?" I asked.

"Don't be silly Meatball Head, you don't tell them anything." He replied. "They have to think they figured it out by themselves."

"Have you done this before?" I asked, glaring up at him.

"No, I'm just smarter than you." He grinned. I took advantage of our closeness to thump him on the chest, before ducking under his arm and walking into the arcade. The girls were already in our usual booth but hadn't seen us yet. I headed for the counter to order. I could practically feel Darien following behind me.

"Let me guess Serena problem solved." Andrew smiled.

"Well unfortunately I don't know very many guys. So I guess it's a good thing they're both good looking...shame one is taken and the other is a total Jerk." I stared pointedly at Darien.

"I'm almost hurt." Darien mocked.

"Burger and fries please Andrew...and a strawberry shake." I said, ignoring Darien.

"I'll bring it over when it's done Serena, the girls are already here." Andrew smiled. I dug in my pocket for my cash.

"And a latte please Drew." Darien said, handing over the cash for both orders. He looked at my shocked expression and leant in close to my ear. "That's me not being a jerk." Then he placed his hands on my shoulders and turned me away from him, giving me a gentle push. I started towards the girl's table trying to make my legs work. I failed and tripped over an unsuspecting chair. I quickly steadied myself with it and made my way to the booth.

"Hey Serena!" Mina called.

"Get over here girl!" Lita grinned.

"Hey guys!" I said, sitting down next to Mina. "Where's Raye?"

"She had to help her Grandpa at the temple but she's meeting us tomorrow." Mina replied.

"Detention again?" Amy asked me, I just nodded. "Serena one day you really are going to have to start taking school a bit more seriously."

"I know." I sighed.

"So what was that just minute ago?" Mina grinned.

"What?" I replied, doing my best confused face.

"You and Darien!" Lita jumped in. "You were like actually getting along."

"No not really." I replied. "I think he's just going a little easier on the insults after yesterday...he'll be back to his pain in my butt self in no time." They bought it. They all bought it. I can't believe that not one of them even considered Darien as a possibility for my mystery boyfriend.

Darien POV

Andrew had quizzed me on the arrangement Serena and I had made. I had to admit I sort of enjoyed acting different with Serena. Still being able to tease each other but without the huge fights that gave me a head ache was kind of cool. The fact that I could use her body against her to tease her in a whole new way was also something I enjoyed. Horrible I know but somehow the tension between us had just gone through the roof without us even knowing it was ever there before, and I didn't intend on letting her forget it.
