"That's it, Serena. I can't take it anymore. I think it's time we went our separate ways," Darien said, looking everywhere except his now ex-girlfriend's shocked face.
"D-Darien… are you breaking up with me?" Serena said, incredulous. This could not be happening.

Darien snapped shut his cell phone, got out of the car, and walked out of the parking lot and onto the university campus. He was starting his third year today. Usually, he was more enthusiastic around this time of year, but he felt kind of bad about breaking up with Serena.
"Excuse me, Darien Chiba?" a cool feminine voice came from behind Darien.
Darien turned around and came face to face with…
