Would You Be Mine?

By: Eternity's Angel

Chapter 5: Annoyance

Back at school wasn't exactly what Serena Tsukino had in mind, but after what she had encountered during the mid-winter vacation, she didn't want to spent another minute with that jerk. Over the break, all she did was argue with him. She didn't exactly had that in mind as fun. She wanted to some spend time with Mina and go to Manhattan to visit her boyfriend, Seiya Walker. Although she did spend some time with Seiya during the break, it didn't came out as she had planned. She wanted to go on a double date with Mina and Andrew, but no, stupid Darien-jerk had to tagged along. When Seiya and Darien had met, things quite didn't go all that well.

:: Flashback ::

The night before Serena knew anything that might had happen, Seiya had called her, and informed her that he would be visiting her in Brooklyn. Serena was so excited that she decided to set up a double date with Mina and Andrew. Little did she know, Darien had also tagged along, courtesy of Andrew. They decided to meet in a café, then go and watch the latest movie Mean Girls.

Seiya had picked her up and when they had got there; the others was already there. Darien, Andrew, and Mina all looked up at the couple. Serena introduced Seiya to everybody-she was shocked that Darien was there, since they didn't get along. Mina and Andrew greeted Seiya with a warm welcome, but Darien just stood there, silently. When it was his turn to greet him, both fell into silence. Darien and Seiya just stood there, staring at each other, in Serena's point of view. But, they were actually glaring. If one were to look to distinguish the difference between the two, they could be mistaken for being twins. Same ebony black hair-but Darien's were silky, and Seiya's were a bit rough messy. The same cerulean blue eyes, and at least the same height. But, the difference between those two would be their length of hair. Darien had short silky black hair, while Seiya had long roughly black hair.

It was like at the very first glance, they had hated each other. They didn't even bother shaking hands, only exchanging a brief and cold greeting to one another. All the time, they would be glaring at each other in disgusted. Seiya would often wrapped his arms around Serena's shoulders, making Darien narrowing his eyes every time he would glanced at them. It's like hate at first sight, but only deeper, with them going on with each other. It's like a verbal war between them, and only they can understand what's going on. Who knows what had been going on through their minds. At the end of the movie, when everybody would depart, Seiya had a chat with Serena.

"Serena, I don't trust that Darien guy," he said, stopping his car in front of her house.

"Why?" was the only reply from Serena. Although she hated Darien, she was curious to know why Seiya didn't trusted him. Interesting, because Seiya was never the unfriendly type. She smiled, "Are you jealous of that guy?"

"No," was a quit reply from Seiya, while he refused to looked in her eyes.

"You are, aren't you?" said Serena, she founded it adorable that Seiya was jealous of Darien.

"What if I am?" Seiya grunted. He turned to faced Serena, "I just don't trust that guy whose named Darien. He seems like he'll be the bad type for you to hang around."

"Don't worry about anything. I can handle him. He doesn't bother me, only annoys me to hell, that's all. Bye Seiya!" Serena pecked a kiss on his lips and got out of the car.

::End of Flashback::

Walking towards her locker, she opened her locker, and got out the books that she would be needing for the next classes that she would be having. To her rotten luck, she had English next period, with that obnoxious jerk, Darien. But, she was thankful that Amy was also in that class. Slamming her locker shut, she walked towards to English class. Entering the room, she was relieved that Darien wasn't there yet. Amy, however on the other hand was there, reading a book in her hand. Sitting down to her original seat that she had chosen on the first day, she greeted Amy with a "hello".

"Hi Serena," Amy puts down her book, "How was your vacation?"

"Ugh! It was terrible Amy. You wouldn't believe who in the world I had to spent my vacation with. That Darien-baka who constantly bothers me to hell. All we ever did was bickered, and it's non-stop!" Serena exclaimed, letting all her anger out.

Amy didn't seemed bothered by the release of anger, though she was curious of that word that Serena had just describe Darien a while ago, "Baka?"

"Oh yeah. I learned Japanese back at my old school. Baka in Japanese means stupid, idiot, etc. I should have told you. It was fun, learning another foreign language. A huge advantage to say whatever I would like, without anybody knowing what they mean," Serena giggled.

Amy nervously giggled, "Serena, I don't think you should involved yourself with those people like Darien."

"Why not?"

"Because, Darien here is consider a jock. Those popular guys who girls would swooned over every time they passed by. You have to be careful around here at Fort. You don't want to get mixed up into those groups. Especially Darien. You have to stay away from him. Beryl Thompson is Darien's number one fan-not to mention stalker. She's like devoted into him. I heard that she wouldn't let anybody near him. Last time, Darien tried to helped a girl with something and when Beryl heard about it, she did something to that girl. Rumors has it that she threaten her to stayed away from Darien or else. Beryl is like a jealous girlfriend; only problem is that she isn't his girlfriend," said Amy seriously.

"Whoa, whoa, slow down. You think I liked Darien? Are you crazy? Besides, I already have a boyfriend," said Serena.

"Yes, Meatball Head. That wonderful boyfriend of yours, Seiya. How pathetic of him to get a girlfriend like you? Do you even know what kind of a guy is?" Darien said behind Serena, which startled her.

Serena glared at him, "First thing is first. Is it so hard to say my name through that thick pathetic skull of yours? Second, Seiya is twice the better guy than you can ever be! He's kind and sweet. You're just jealous that someone like me can get a boyfriend, when you yourself can't get a hold of a girlfriend!"

Darien laughed, "Me? Get a hold of a girlfriend? That's a joke. None of them suits me anyway. And I could call you whatever I want, Meatball Head."

Serena scowled at him, but the teacher had already came in. Darien went to take a seat next to Andrew. Ms. Russo wrote today's lesson on the board, while the class scribbled down whatever she's writing. Darien was copying notes until a note landed on his desk. Confused, he opened it up, and it was a letter from Andrew.

'Yo, why do you bother Serena anyway? She's a nice girl.'

'She's just easy to tease. Got a problem with that?'

'Actually, I do. I can't help but noticed that all you ever do is bickered with her. Why? Wait..scratch that. How did you met her in the first place?'

Darien smirked.

'Simple. I collided into her.'

' How convenient. But, why tease the poor girl? You still haven't answer my question yet.'

'I don't know exactly. It seems she's easy to tease. That's all. Besides, it's amusing to see her get angry.'

Andrew raised an eyebrow at that. If his assumptions were correct, it seems that there were some chemical between the two. But, Serena already has a boyfriend. She wouldn't go and cheat on Seiya. He had to talk to Mina later about this. There was something fishy going on, and he wants to get the bottom of it. Probably, this can help Darien out.

'Whatever. Why were you so tense on that day when we went to the movies with Seiya and Serena?'

'Those are my own reasons.'

'Is it true that you're actually jealous of Serena that she has a boyfriend?'

'Don't be a moron. Are you crazy? Me? Jealous of Meatball Head? HA!'

'Whatever you say.'

And that was the end of the conversation. Darien had crumpled the note, and heeded his attention to the board. 'Am I truly jealous of Meatball Head?'

It was raining. Serena didn't bring any umbrella with her today. How would she know if it was going to rain of not? Apparently, she didn't watched the weather last night. She didn't bring any money with her take the bus home. The school didn't distribute her Metro Card yet. And worst of all, Mina had plans with Andrew, and that leaves her standing inside the school lobby, staring at the pouring rain. She sighed, 'I guess I have to wait for the rain to stop. Mom and Dad are working today. I can't call them and disrupted their work.'

A hand shot out of no where and handed on Serena's shoulder. Serena let a startled scream, which had the 'attacker' winced at the loud noise. "Gee Meatball Head. You sure can scream loud!" said the 'attacker'. Serena stopped, and turned around and found Darien Shields smirking at her.

"Do you enjoy sneaking up behind other people?" Serena yelled.

"No, I only enjoyed sneaking up behind you Meatball Head. So amusing to watch you get mad," Darien grinned.

Serena glared at Darien, "Well, now that you got your fun, run along. Don't bother me!"

"How about you Meatball Head? Why aren't you running along?"

"That's none of your business!"

Darien stared at Serena. Why would she still be at school? He, himself, had just finished computer club. Why would Meatball Head still be here? He stared outside the opened door. It was raining very hard. 'She's probably have no way to go home. From what I have recalled, Andrew and Mina had a date together. Which leaves Meatball Head no transportation.' Darien smiled under his breath, "Is it because of the rain Meatball Head?"

"Huh?" Serena stared at Darien through her crystal sky blue-eyes.

"Tell you what, I'll give you a ride home? How does that sound like?" Darien said gently to the small fragile Meatball Head. She was standing there, like a porcelain doll, all fragile and scared. But scared or not, she managed to put a strong face, "Are you making fun of me here?"

"No. From what I know, Andrew and Mina had went on a date, so I guess that you might need a ride home. So, how about it Meatball Head?" Darien asked, reaching his hand down to Serena. Serena just stared at the hand. Should she go with him or not? That was the question. She stared outside again, it was still pouring. She sighed, and accepted his hand, "Fine. But no funny business on the way back to my house. And don't call me Meatball Head. Got that?"

Darien chuckled, "Fine. I promise that I won't call you Meatball Head during the ride home."

Serena was satisfied, "Good. Now, move it! I want to get home as soon as possible!"

Darien followed her outside, where it was still pouring, and together, they ran in the rain and towards his car.

---

Serena stared around the area surrounded around her. This was not what she had in mind. Students were all over the place. Some would be playing games, or talking to their friends, or just eat what they had ordered in the very same place that Mina had brought her to on her first day of school. That jerk was sitting across from her, eating his hamburger, while drinking his coke. How enjoyable...not! Serena was stirring her milkshake and looking absently outside the window. She glanced back at him, "Why in the world we're here? You're suppose to bring me home, so what are we doing here?"

Darien took another bite of his hamburger, then took a sip of his coke, "Because Meatball Head, in case if you haven't noticed, I was very hungry. You didn't expect me to stave to death before I took you home?"

Serena glared at him, which went unnoticed by him. If she had known he would have done this, she should had hitch a ride with someone else. "Meatball Head? You promised me that you wouldn't call me Meatball Head!"

"Correction, I said that I wouldn't call you Meatball Head during the ride home. Does it seem like I am driving? So, I get to call you whatever I want," Darien smirked, as he finished his last bite of his hamburger.

Serena growled at him, "You're lucky that you're taking me home. Or else, I'll rearranged that face of yours!"

Darien chuckled, but he made no comment to it. He looked around the place, until he spotted something-more like somebody-outside the store, which was behind Meatball Head's shoulder. Darien started to panic, realizing that it was Beryl-one of his famous stalker. 'Damn. If she sees me here, she'll go attaching to me in no time. Crap, what do I do now?' Darien thought. Normally, he would have cared less, but he didn't want any of Beryl's attachment to him to start-especially since he had returned from vacation already. Darien groaned, frantically looking for a way to avoid Thompson. His eyes landed on the blonde that sat in front of him. She was bored out of her mind, so why not give her some piece of fun? Darien grinned, and he slips off his booth and sat down next to Meatball Head's seat; which startled her.

"What the hell are you doing?" Serena hissed, trying to edge away from him, but only have him moving closer. Her heart was pumping faster than usual. 'What the hell is he doing? And why the hell am my heart beating fast?'

"Listen, Meatball Head, I need a favor. You see that girl over there? The red-headed one?" Darien whispered into her ear, sending chills down her spine; he turned her head gently towards the direction, where he wanted her to look at. "I need you to pose as my date-just for today. Nothing personal; I just need to avoid her today, that's all."

"What makes you think that I'll help you?" Serena hissed at him.

"Because, I would be your ride home. If you want to get out of here, you have to act just this time." Darien whispered.

Serena grunted, 'That was a stupid way of blackmail. But, he is right. I do need a ride home, and he's all I got. Unless I hitch a ride with some totally stranger. Ooo...I hate it with situations like these! Damn! He got me corned!' She looked up, staring at cerulean eyes, almost pleading her. She grinned slyly to herself, this could be blackmail for him too! "Fine. But, after this is over, I want you to take me home immediately!"

Darien quirked her a grin, "Sure thing, Meatball Head."

Darien and Serena were quietly minding there own business. Darien was hoping that Thompson would get the hell out of the place, while Serena was hoping to get the hell out of here. But before they could get any of their hopes, Beryl was heading towards their booth.

'Oh shit.' were the thoughts of Darien, while Serena tried to remained calm. 'Remember Serena. All you have to do is pose as his date. That's all. He's not expecting for you to kiss him or anything, so just relax. The sooner, the better.'

"Hello Darien. What are you doing here today?" Beryl purred, making Darien cringed inside.

"What the hell do you want Thompson?" Darien said, eyeing her with dislike. His voice was strong, and was very malicious. Serena tried not to shiver, with that voice of his. She had never heard him talk like that. Annoyed, yes. But, malicious, no.

Beryl pouted. "Aww...is that how you speak to your girlfriend?"

Darien narrowed his eyes on her, "Since when were you my girlfriend from the first place? From what I know, you're a bitch."

Beryl choose to ignored his comment, but her eyes landed on Serena, who tried not to squirm. But, Darien's hand was on her shoulder, calming her down. "And, who is this girl, Darien? Is she your cousin? You never told me that you have a cousin!"

"No, Thompson. She's not my cousin. She's my girlfriend." After the word 'girlfriend' was said, Beryl gasped while Serena froze. 'This certainly wasn't what I had expected. What the hell?'

Yeah! I finished! Thank god! This had took me forever. I was so busy working on my YGO fic, and I tired to fit in time to write the next chapter. Not to mention another chapter to another story. Damn. It's really getting into me. Hopefully, when summer comes, updates would be much faster. Currently, I am still at school, with only a few days left. So, please be patient with me.

I am sorry if this chapter is small, but I hope you'll like it anyway! I have no idea when the next chapter would come out, so please be patient with me.

A/N: I've noticed that things might have speeded up a bit. But, this is all part of the plan. Although, you might have complaints about it, please hold them, until you see what happens in future chapters. Thanks! Also, this chapter isn't edit! So, please excuse my grammatical/spelling errors. My editor was unavailable, so I have to do this by myself.

Don't forget to review! Thank you very much!
