Now shall we begin? *****Serena's room*************************************************** "Buzz, Buzz, Buzz" Serena's alarm sounded as it read 6:15am. "Stupid thing. Damn alarm." Serena mumbled as she went to turn it off. It normally takes Serena a few minutes to get up, but once she is. Everything then seems a little brighter. Today was no different. She goes into to the bathroom and 15 minutes later. She comes back refreshed. Serena walks over to her dresser and pulls out a pair of white leggings and a gray sweatshirt and puts them on. She grabs her white Reeboks and proceeds to put them on her feet. She goes over to her vanity table and brushes her hair. She then pulls her hair up in a high ponytail on her head. She looks at the time and sees it is 6:40. 'Well better get going if I want to have my morning jog.' she thought. She grabs her keys quickly and leaves. *****Out in courtyard*********************************************** 'I have been here for two weeks now. Why do I still feel so out of place.' She wondered. She had made a few friends, but the fact that she was busy settling in and working hard in her classes plus the homework left little time to socialize. Though she did talk to the girls in class and they were becoming good friends. But didn't see them much out of class. Mina, on the other hand, she seemed to talk to a great deal more. A couple of times she had come over to Serena's dorm room. Where they would talk for a couple of hours. She and Mina were slowly becoming very close friends. Now that she was settled in. She could get into the groove of things. She wanted to be able to hangout more with her new friends and even maybe find something she could do on the weekends. Something that was flexible and willing to juggle with her other commitments without a problem. While she was running through the courtyard of the campus she could see that it was going to be a beautiful day. The sky was such a deep ocean blue. 'Blue...his eyes are blue like that.' she thought. 'Why does he always seem to come to mind?' Ever since Serena had met one Darien Shields.... she could never really keep him from her thoughts. When she had a free moment.... he would pop into her mind. It didn't help much that they had a lot of the same classes. It seemed everywhere she went. He was around. She was either seeing him or even running into him. As she thought about this...she had suddenly crashed into someone. This sudden movement made her lose her balance and started to fall backwards. She wait for her butt to hit the ground but for some odd reason it didn't. Instead she felt 2 warm hands grab and steady her. She had lost all the ability to think as the warmth invaded her being. She looked up to see who it was. It was Darien. 'Speak of the devil,' she thought. Looking into those warm deep blue eyes she felt like she was beginning to lose her last bit of strength. With the last bit of strength she had, she pulled away and muttered an apology. ******Darien********************************************************* 'I needed this run.' Darien had thought. These first 2week have been hard. He was keeping busy with classes, homework and friends. He had to work hard because he wanted to prove to his stubborn old grandfather that he could make it as a dancer. Plus it helped because his grandfather was paying the bill of this place with resistance. His grandfather had wanted him to follow his footsteps and his father's. He wanted him to join the family business in advertising. Darien just couldn't see himself doing it. He loved the freedom he felt when he danced. He loved the way the music flow through his body. It was like he was the music. They had become one. 'I can't believe I actually went out with that stuck up snob Michelle. My friends warned me, but did I listen. No. And I was stuck listening to her gossip and talk about herself. It was so boring.' Darien thought. Then his mind drifted to a certain golden haired angel. Though he kept trying not to think about her. He just couldn't. She was always drifting to his thoughts. When he had a free moment, he would think of her. If he weren't thinking about her.... he would see her or bumped into to her. He just couldn't stop the feelings he had. "I need to stop thinking about her," he told himself. And with that he had crashed into something warm and soft. Before he knew it ... he had grabbed a hold of the person (now who could it be?) to stop them from falling. That was his first mistake because the feeling of warmth enveloped him and he couldn't think straight. It was the same feeling he got when he danced. The next mistake was to look down and see his angel with her big blue eyes just staring at him. He felt the urge to just pull her in and kiss her passionately. Then he heard her speak which brought him out of his trance. *************Courtyard********************************************** "I am so sorry about running into you." Serena apologized. "It's okay. What is this now the tenth time we have bumped into one another this week." Darien laughed. "Yeah. It is like some force that keeps bringing us together." Serena said. She thought for a moment then shook her head to clear her thoughts. "Yeah. Right" Darien agreed sarcastically. "Well I got to get back to my room to get ready for class. So I guess I will see you later." Serena said as she started off towards her dorm. "Okay.... See ya" Darien called after her. Then, he went off in the direction of his dorm. ******Dorm Hall******************************************************** As Serena was going pass the bulletin board in the hall of her dorm. She had noticed a flyer that said "Looking for someone to sing at our cafe on the weekends. Pays decently and weekly. Come audition and see if you can make it. Auditions held every Saturday between noon and 4. See Artemis Black. Silver Moon Café 'That sounds pretty good. I think I will go and audition. Won't hurt to try.' she thought. She took the info from the flyer and went to her room to get ready for another day of working her butt off. ******Twenty Minutes later in the Dorm Hall********************************** "Lita, look at this flyer," Mina told her friend as they passed the bulletin board. "What?" "The Silver Moon Café is looking for a singer to work the weekends." "Yeah. Don't tell me you want to tryout." Lita questioned her. "Maybe? It would be nice to go eat there and maybe watch the audition." Answered Mina. "Okay. Maybe. How about we see if anyone else would want to go with us tomorrow?" "That would cool. Have lunch and spend part of the day watching the audition." Mina replied. "Well, we better get going or we are going to be late for class." Lita informed her friend. With that said they were off and running. ******Silver Moon Cafe'******************************************** Around noon the next day Serena found herself in the 'Silver Moon Cafe' looking for Artemis. "Hi. Can I help you with something?" A man with white hair asked. "Oh yes. I was looking for Artemis. I found this flyer and I want to try out." She told him excitedly. "I am Artemis and do you want start now. The band is getting ready for this evening. And if you do well.... would you like to start tonight." "I would but that is if you will like me." She informed him with a smile. "Can you tell me a little about where you learn to sing?" "My mother taught me. I used to sing in the school chorus and in chruch. I even took vocal lessons for a while." she replied to him. "Good. Now go and talk to the band. Tell them what you want to sing and get yourself ready so that I can listen to you. Let's say 5 minutes, okay" He smiled at her and went to sit down at a near by table to watch. "Sure. See you in 5 minutes." she said as she walked over to the band. ************************************************************************ Okay that was it for Chapter 3. What did you think?
