I hope every one likes it so far, and that you were all pleased with chapter 2, because here come chapter 3!! Blaze finally takes some action, secrets are revealed, and of course, were gonna have some romance in it too. ON WITH THE FIC!! “Serena, get up! SERENA!!” Luna shouted over and over at the grumbling girl. “Stop yelling so loud Luna, mom and dad might here you.” She said, tossing a pillow into her cats face. “Get up Serena, you don’t want to be late for school, and the other’s will be here in any minute.” She said, pulling Serena out of bed by the coller of her p.j.’s with her teeth. “Alright, alright. Give me a minute.” “Good, I’ll go and get your communicater.” Luna left the room, and came back a moment later to see Serena asleep curled up in a ball on the floor. “SERENA!!!” *** “SERENA!! BUUUUUUNNNNNNYYYYY!!!” Mina shouted, cuffing her mouth. “Will you stop yelling like that Mina? Were not kids, and why are you calling her ‘Bunny?’” Ray asked, with an annoyed tone. “Well, we got to get her up some how. And I happen to like that nick name, it suits her cause of her hair.” She smiled. “I prefer meatball hea-OW!!” Ray was silenced by a flying peace of toast at her face by Serena. “I’m here. Lets go.” She yawned. The five girls walked together down the street to Serena’s school. Each girl giving suspicious glances at passer byres. Lita and Amy on the left side of Serena, and Ray and Mina to her right. Lita cracking her knuckles every time some one came near them. ‘I’m not sure why, but protecting Serena like this almost feels familure. And so right, like were supposed to. Weird…’ Lita thought. “Guys, I like you all doing this and every thing, but wont this make you late for school?” Serena asked. “You know you like it Meatball Head.” Ray teased. “ On second thought, just stay till 4th period.” She snapped. “OH MY GOSH!” “What’s wrong Serena?” The girls took a stance, thinking they would have to fight, when.. “I forgot my P.E. uniform. I’ll be right back.” She left the pile of girls with sweat drops on their heads. “SERENA! WAIT! YOU CANT GO OFF ON YOUR OUN!!” Ray shouted, fallowing her. *** “Better hurry, cant be late again. I am NOT In the mood for detentioOOOOOON!!” Serena shouted as she ran into some one right in front of her house. “Ow, ow, ow, ow.. I’m so sorry sir, I’m in such a hurry and -Oh my gosh it’s you.” Serena went from an opologetic tone to a bitter one. “Serena, are you alright?” Darien asked, ignoring her comment and placed his hands on her shoulders, emeadiately making her nervous. “Wh-what?” She said in shock. Did he just ask me if I was alright? No way, no how, didn’t happen.. did it? “Serena, are you hurt?” “What- uh- or course not, I’m fine.” She stood up and dusted off her skirt. Trying to ignore the intense gaze Darien was giving her. Instead of giving her the creeps, it gave her chills. “D-Darien you don’t live any where near here, what are you doing here?” she asked, trying to avoid this deathly silence. “Ieee.. uuuhh, um.. I go for walks in the morning since I don’t have to go to collage for a few hours.” He said, barely saving himself. “Oh. Well, I gotta go, *I* have school in a few minutes.” She took off to her house. Not noticing that Darien never took his eyes off her. She came back only but 2 minutes later to see Darien standing in the exact same spot she left him in, still staring at her. She at first had eyes of pure shock, but looked to the ground to hide her nervousness and flushing as she walked passed him. She turned to head towards her friends when he spoke. “Serena, how about I give you a ride today?” he asked, it was weird. He said it at first as a almost commanding tone with a hint of worry, but then turned to a kind tone as if he was a friend that asked me it often. “Um, I- I cant Darien, I’m walking with my friends and they’d be mad at me if I just ditched them. But th-thank you anyway.” Saved. She turned around to head towards them and get the heck out of here when she felt some warm powerful hand reach for her wrist, and held it tight, not letting her walk any further. “Darien?” she asked, now VERY nervous. “How about tomorrow? I’ll pick you up at 8 so you wont be late.” He held on to her wrist for a few moments, as if he almost didn’t want to let go, then slowly released her and walked away. She stood there dazed for a moment, then snapped back to reality. “HEY! You can’t just order me around like that! HEY!!!” She fallowed him around the corner but only to find an empty street. I could have sworn he went this way, how did he…? Oh never mind. And she dashed off to meet up with her friends again. *** ‘She should be safe, I heard that Lita girl is very tough, and Ray knows a little about martial arts as well. Having those other two with her wont be half bad either, it should be alright, but I’m not taking my eyes off her.’ The caped man thought, as he swiftly jumped from roof top to roof top watching the group of 5 girls. *** “O.k, I’ll head off to my school now. Remember Meatball head, don’t go ANYWHERE alone. We need to make sure he, whoever he is, doesn’t find you.” Ray said. “Alright, alright, I KNOW!!” Serena said, pouting. “I have to go to. See you all after school. Mina and Ray waved to there friends and took off to head to her own school. The others continued to wave until they were out of sight. “So this is going to be what we do every morning? Right Serena?” Lita asked. Serena was suddenly very quiet. “We should probably do this earlier in case we get delayed some how, so lets try for 8, alright?” Amy asked. Serena suddenly stopped in her tracks. “Um, I have a slight problem.” Serena started, looking at the floor blushing. “What is it?” Amy asked. “Um, I saw Darien today, and for some reason, he wants ME to ride with HIM today. I told him I was walking with you guys, so he asked me about tomarrow.” “What did you say?” Lita asked, falling deep into this jucy gossip. “I didn’t say yes or no. He just TOLD me to go with him and took of, what a jerk. Jeez.” She said, now getting mad. “Hmmm.” “What are you ‘Hmmmming’ about Lita?” the blonde asked. “Oh, nothing.” “LITA!!” *** “Maybe I can ask the teacher to sit next to you in class?” “Lita, were in the same classes, you don’t need to sit next to me in every one. It’s o.k.” Serena said, patting the tall girls shoulder. “Well, o.k.” They walked into there class and sat in there seats, as the teacher sat up. “CLASS! We have a new student today. He just moved here from…. The united states I think. So let’s try to make him feel at home.” She said, making a hand motion to invite the stranger into class. The door suddenly opened, and the next thing you hear is every girls sigh in the class from instantly falling for him. He had brown hair, that went just below his ears. Killer silvery eyes, but with a dull quality to them. And earing on his left ear, and very well build as well as tall, just about as tall as Darien. “Class, his name is Blaze.. What did you say your name was?” she asked. “Blaze Blade.” He said, with a cutting tone to his voice. Then he quickly turned his gaze to the class. Then suddenly his breath caught, there she was. His eyes met with Serena’s. He gazed at her for who knows how long. When finally the teacher had finished describing him, she told him to sit wherever he chose. He walked passed all the seats in class, including the ones with the girls signaling him to sit next to them. And walked strait to Serena’s chair, and sat right next to her. “Hello, I guess were going to be class mates.” He said, in a friendly tone. “Um, uh-yes. I guess.” She said, in a nervous voice. When she felt something small hit her head. She looked to see a small crumpled up piece of paper, and opened it up. ‘Serena, you didn’t tell me you knew such a hotty, honeslty. You should have introduced me to him, he looks so much like my old boyfriend. And did you see the way he was staring at you? Looks like you got a crush. Are you going out or something?’ Serena gave Lita glare as she blushed bright red at the note. She slowly turned her head to look at Blaze, who was still staring at her. She quickly spun her head to look at her desk, trying to avoid him seeing her blush even more. *** “Alright, class dismissed.” The teacher said. As all the students stood up, none of them seemed to realize the small beam of light that Blaze shot from his eyes to hers. Except for Amy, Serena, and Lita getting weird vibes. “Serena, would you please show Blaze around the school? Thank you.” The teacher said, almost as if she was half dead. Serena’s eyes shot open as she heard her orders. Oh no. “Well, let’s go.” He said, as he grabbed her hand quiet possessively and pulled her out of the classroom. “And that’s the library, I hardly ever go in there. There’s the cafeteria, my favorite room. And that’s the gym. That’s pretty much our whole school.” Serena finished her talk with a small laugh, but quickly stopped as soon as she turned around to see him smiling a sly smile at her. “So, um… any way.” She turned her head and began to spout rubbish, trying just to come up with things to talk about, to forget about this little problem. They walked down the halls to the other side of the school. “That’s pretty much everything Blaze, I hope you will like it here.” She beamed at him. “I think I already do.” He grinned. “Really? Great, so I didn’t do that bad of a job touring the school to you, I was afraid my mouth ran away with me again.” Blaze simply gazed at her, with a sly grin. He placed his hands on both of hers, and slightly pushed her against the wall, with one side of her body against the wall, and the other completely stiff, against Blaze’s hard, muscle bound chest. His grip on her hands still tight. The shock of what was happening still rushing through her, she couldn’t even move. He leaned closer to where his mouth was an inch from her ear. “It’s your mouth that has me fascinated,in fact, I cant get my eyes off it.” She suddenly blushed as red as a cherry, and her eyes shot open. No one has ever said anything like that to her before, the shock was too much, he was too close, this was going too fast, she had to do something. While she was screaming at her herself to do something, he unknowing to her, slowly wrapped his arms around her slim waist, once his arms were around her, his grip tightened to where she wouldn’t be abill to move if she tried. His face working his way to her front face, where he could gaze at her eye to eye. She was shivering, his arms only tightened around her, not about to let her go. “Serena-“ BAM!! “ON NO! I’M SO SORRY!! DID I HIT ANYONE!?!” Yelled a frightened voice. Serena had her eyes shut, they when she heard the voice, she opened them, she noticed the tight arms that were keeping her from moving, were gone. And there in front of her was Blaze, slightly bent over, with his hand on his head where the Basketball hit him. “BLAZE!!” Yelled one girl, who rushed to him, literally pushing Serena aside. “Blaze!?” Yelled 3 other girls, who rushed to him, then 5 more, then ten more, soon it was almost like the entire female student body was comforting the shocked Blaze, who was looking quite annoyed. ‘This is my chance.’ Serena walked away as casually as she could from the crowd of squealing girls, who made a giant circle in the middle of the hall. Humming to herself, while inside she almost fainted from aftershock. *** “AMY! LITA!” Yelled a cheerful voice. The tall brunett, and the shorter blue haired girl, turned there heads to see there best friend running towards them. “Hey girl, what happened to you? We didn’t see you all lunch.” Lita asked the little blonde. She noticed Serena suddenly struck still for a moment, then looked like she shook it off, and tried to giggle her usual cheerful giggle. “Anything happen between you and Blaze?” Lita asked, with a large smile. “Um, uh.. I ..” Serena began to step back as Lita stepped towards her, the creepy smile growing larger. “Serena, your unusually nervous, DID something happen?” Amy asked, for the first time taking her nose out of the book she was reading. “Well. . “ Lita stopped when she noticed the serious, and slightly SCARED look in Serena’s eyes. Oh no. “What did he do to you?” Lita asked, suddenly getting rather fearsome, and protective of her. “He-He didn’t do anything Lita, well, almost.” Serena said, taveling off in her sentence. “Almost?” “Well. . “ “HE WHAT!?” Lita screamed, earning some glances from other students walking down the street. Lita turned to them, “TAKE A PITCHURE! IT’LL LAST LONGER!” They gasped as her outburst and walked on. “I cant believe he did that to you Serena, I cant believe we let you go alone. Were supposed to be protecting you!” Serena eased her burning friend. “Lita, we cant make that to obvious, if the enemy see’s that he will think that were. . you know who.” Serena whispered. “I DON’T CARE! From now on, we go every where you go.” Lita said. “I agree, from now on. . we have to be serious about this. Who’s house are you going to sleep over at tonight?” Amy asked. “Well, I guess Mina’s, it has a lot of short cuts I can take for my 100 yard dash to school.” The two girls giggled. “I’m off to the arcade, BYE-“ “Oh no you don’t Serena, were coming with you.” Fallowed the tall brunett. *** “Hey Serena. Hey Lita, Hey Amy.” “HI!” Came the cheer of 3 happy girls. Andrew chuckled and led them to a seat. “So, what’s going on with you girls lately?” Andrew asked with a smile. “Nothing much, you?” Lita asked, blushing a little, Amy and Serena took notice to this. They walked to the counter and chatted about there day, leaving the part out about Blaze’s ‘passing’ at Serena of course. In fact, she was quiet through most of the confersation, witch was weird, almost scary. To have the bubbly, out going, kind, and happy girl Serena, quiet, and serious, not good. This is not good. “Hey, I heard that Blaze got transferred to your school today, did you see him anywhere?” He asked, trying to lighten the mood, little did he now he only stiffened it, and he noticed it as soon as Serena ‘accidentely’ spit out her soda while she was drinking it. Lita suddenly got a protective expression on her face, and Amy blushed with a look of concern in her eyes. Andrew got a little nervous. ‘Was it something I said. .?’ he thought. “Uh, are you all o.k.? you look a little pale.” “Oh, were o.k. Andrew, just. . we didn’t see him, but we’ll be sure to give him a little ‘hello’ when we see him.” Lita added to herself. “I’m sorry guys, I would stay, but I got a project due tomarrow, I really need to get started on it. Bye!” Serena waved to them, Lita and Amy jumped off there seats to fallow her but stopped when they saw her bump into something. But not something, someone. “Serena! Jeez, were gonna have to stop meeting like this.” Darien said. Serena blushed, and looked down, only noticing it looked like she was looking at his chest, so she quickly spun around and looked at the floor. Andrew stood wide eyed at the counter. “WHAT did you just call her!?” He yelled. The two girls were equally shocked, they would have thought he would be in at least 10 pieces by now, especially after a certain ‘incedent’ at her house. “Serena. So?” He looked at them all, they each made 3 perfect circles on there faces. His attention suddenly turned to the little blonde who was trying to run out of the Arcade, when she suddenly looked out side, got a shocked, and almost. . scared look in her eyes, and slammed the door shut, and ran behind Darien, with him between her and the entrance. “Serena? What’s wrong?” Darien asked, full of concern. “Wrong? Nothings wrong? What makes you think anythings wrong? Nothings wrong! He he he.” She laughed a phony laugh, and ran to a table and put her book bag to the side of her face, making it so that anyone who passes by wouldn’t see her face. Lita and Amy looked out side, and got a glare of anger at the windows. Darien figured something behind him. The two girls looked at though they were going to confront whatever it was, but decided to walk to Serena and comfert her. Darien was about to walk over there, when he saw a certain someone walk into the arcade. Blaze. *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^* Oh boy, Blaze.
