HI EVERYONE I'M BACK!!! First of all, I send all my love and thanks to people who e-mailed me!!!!!!! It really boosted up my confidence!!...well, sort of. I'm still very nervous about writing this story. Well, enough about me! Onto the story!! *Insert usual disclaimer here* Title: Thinking of you... Author: Milkiss Part two ******************************************************** For the first time in their lives, Serena and Darien found themselves comfortable sitting next to each other in class. Of course, they would never admit it. Serena thought about what happened during lunch and decided she was too mean to him. "By the way, thanks for the lunch...I really needed it..." she whispered. "Hey, it's no big deal." This time it was Darien's turn to blush. Serena giggled at the sight he made. He actually looked cute when he blushed!! Darien heard her giggling and blushed furiously, and attempted to show his smugness, or what was left of it anyway. "Meatball Head!" Immediately, Serena's smile turned into a scowl. "DJ!! Humph!" They both turned in opposite directions and pretended to be listening to Ms. Haruna's lesson. ============================================================ Social Studies......I hate Social Studies......Serena groaned. Unfortunately for her, it was one of Darien's strongest subjects. Serena, unconsciously, started to daydream, while Darien was having the time of his life since he knew everything. "SERENA!! Answer the question!" Ms. Haruna scared Serena half to death. Serena's head shot up and she became very nervous with all the students looking at her for an answer. "umm.........it's umm........." Serena could feel a bead of sweat roll down the back of her neck. "you see, it's umm............" Darien, being Darien, raised his hand and proudly answered correctly. "Good work, Darien. Serena, please pay attention." Darien gave her a smug and annoying smile. "Yes, Ms. Haruna." Serena had to forcefully calm down. *I hate you, DJ!!!! Soon, your stupid smug face will die!! Bwa-ha-ha-ha!! * (AN: umm......sorry guys, I kind of lost control there. Hehehe ^_^ ) "Class, work on this worksheet for the rest of the period." Ms. Haruna handed out papers to the whole class. Oh, this is so confusing! I'm never gonna get this! * Serena sat there with a frown. Darien watched and felt pity for her. Should I help her? No Way! She calls me with that stupid nickname, DJ AKA Dorky Jerk!! But...she looks so helpless. "Umm, Mea-, I mean, Serena?" "What?!" She was very annoyed. First she couldn't do the worksheet, and now, DJ was going to bother her again!! "If you want, I could help you..." He ignored the annoyed look in her voice. "Oh...umm........." * Well, I might as well take his offer. He is better than me in Social Studies. * "umm......Ok..." * I know I'm gonna regret this!! * "Alright, where should we begin..." Darien started. "How about with number one?" Serena interrupted and spoke sarcastically. Darien ignored and started to explain more simply than Ms. Haruna. *I can't believe it! I actually understand what he's saying!* *I can't believe it! She really understands what I'm saying!* Darien thought. But, in the back of his mind, he was also thinking *gee, she looks cute up close.* Then their eyes met for a slit second. Unable to move, they gazed in each other's eyes, falling in a trance. * Her eyes are so beautiful...* Darien suddenly felt light-headed. * His eyes are so beautiful...* Serena lazily thought. She suddenly had the urge to run her fingers through his silky black hair. It took all his strength from kissing her pouting lips. They both sighed longingly. "A-hem!!!" Ms. Haruna cleared her throat a little too loudly. Serena and Darien turned their heads slowly, both annoyed for being interrupted. Then, they blushed furiously. The whole class had been gawking at them the whole time!!! Even Ms. Haruna had been staring at them, but of course since she was a teacher, she quickly got under control and decided to stop them before *something* happened. Serena met Mina's eyes. She could literally see what Mina was thinking or better yet, *planning* to do. Serena mouthed, "No way" silently across the room at her. Mina smiled slyly and nodded, "yes." Serena vowed to go to Mina after school and strangle the wicked blonde girl before she did something. She stared at Mina with venom in her eyes. Darien, who didn't notice anything, replayed the scene in his head becoming more confused every time. "DING, DING, DING, DING!!!!!" The last bell rang. "Class, remember to finish your homework and study for tomorrow's test!" Then Ms. Haruna ran out of the class faster than any student. The class, shocked, sat there not knowing what to do. Their * teacher * ran out of the classroom before any of them!! Then, realization dawned in them, of course! She had a date with her boyfriend today! One by one each walked out of the classroom. Serena ran around the whole school looking for Mina. * If that girl says anything about me and Darien, other than that we hate each other, she's dead meat!! OOOHH!! That annoying girl! Where in the school is she!!?? * Meanwhile, on the basketball court, Darien and his friends were playing a game of basketball and decided to rest. One of his friends, Andrew, saw everything in the classroom and decided to bring it up... "Soooo, Darien, isn't there something you need to tell us?" Andrew smiled slyly. Darien was becoming annoyed. "Is there something between you and Serena that you're not telling us about?" "NO WAY!! I was just helping that dumb Meatball Head!!" Darien felt denial in the back of his head. "Yeah, sure, whatever. Come on, D-man, admit it. You like her don't you?" "First of all, D-man??!!! What the heck is that??!! Second of all, I told you, I was just helping her! Third, NO WAY!! Me? Like Meatball Head?!! You've got to be kidding." "Darien, don't act stupid. Stop denying it! You know you like her!" Andrew insisted. Darien felt himself blush, that meatball head is cute, though. All the boys saw him blush and hooted with laughter in triumph. Then they started to shoot the questions... "Are you gonna ask her out?" "Where will you take her?" "Umm............" Darien trapped."Are you gonna keep acting like you hate her?" "umm............" Darien felt nervous. "Do you know if she likes you?" After that question, Darien paled. He started to ask questions in his mind desperately...Do I really like her? I don't know! Everything is just so confusing now! Then Darien pictured her large blue eyes that were looking at him intensely, earlier at school. Then, suddenly, his mind became clear and everything made sense!! He really did like her! He was just trying to hide his true feelings by teasing her! Everyone saw Darien's eyes light up. Andrew studied intently and smiled. "HAH! Darien does like Serena!! I knew it!! HAHAHA!!" This time instead of having an annoyed look, Darien smiled. Andrew started to speak again, "Now we got to hatch up a plan for that D-man to make Serena fall in love with him!!" "NO! Andrew let's just drop the subject ok?" Darien didn't really want a bunch of boys or girls messing with his personal love-life, or lack of it. "Oh, come on, D-man, Serena does like you! She just doesn't know it yet!" "Would you stop calling me that!?? Geez!! I thought girls were like this!" (AN: umm...no offense to all the females out there!! Besides, I'm a female, too!!) "I'm outta here." Darien got up and walked away. He was getting annoyed again at how much they kept butting in his love life!! I'll take care of it myself, thank you! The boys sat on the benches watching Darien walk away. Andrew wasn't about to give up any time soon. "I know! We could tell Serena's friends! They could help!""YEAH!!" "They could persuade and help Serena realize that Darien likes her and she likes Darien!!""Who should we ask?""All of them!!""Ok, sounds like a plan!" "YEAH!" They were about to get up to find the girls, when someone from the shadows stepped out. Revealing her long golden hair and large blue eyes she said slyly, "Perhaps, I can help..." "SERENA!!!!?????" ********************************************************************** OK! That's it for today!! How did you like it?? I'm speechless right now. So I can't help ya.
