Another week crawled by with Darien devising a perfect plan to catch his Bunny. He would go to bed early the night before, exceptionally early, and would make sure to get to school at least a whole hour early to ensure he found a safe place to watch his locker from afar out of sight from his sneaky Bunny. But once he caught her he was unsure what he would do.

Would he confront her right then and there? Would he initiate some grand romantic gesture to finally climax this ongoing pining into an actual date? That he had yet to figure out. But Darien also liked that the idea gave him comfort of letting him have whatever reaction to who Bunny actually was in private and without her knowing he had learned of her identity. He also would have the comfort to figure out his next moves.

Monday morning had finally arrived and Darien had followed the plan perfectly getting up at five AM to shower and get himself ready for his plan. And perfect to the plan he got to the school right at six AM way before most students even showed up to class. He then wandered the hall and found a perfect place for him to crouch behind to spy on his locker while avoiding Bunny catching him watching her. Now he had to wait. He could feel his heart thumping loud in his chest and could hear his own heartbeat in his ears. He also felt his stomach turning as he waited anxiously never taking his eyes off his locker.

Finally after what seemed like an eternity but had actually only been ten minutes he heard a door open from down the hall and heard gentle footsteps getting closer towards his locker. Was this it? Was it her?

He watched carefully but felt paralyzed as soon as he recognized her face and that familiar hairstyle stop in front of his locker and quickly do a quick scan of her surroundings but somehow missing him hiding. She then opened her bag and retrieved that damned pink envelope and gracefully without any trouble fit the envelope into the tiny metal opening of his locker before she quickly darted away from his locker wanting to avoid being seen.

Even though she was gone now he still couldn't move out of his crouching position. He had caught his Bunny alright. But he was stunned. She was Bunny. He had been right when he collided with her last week that smell was too unique to be anyone else other than Bunny. Serena was Bunny and he found himself reeling trying to wrap his mind around the fact that she was Bunny. Serena who was a loud mouth, clumsy, hateful, and idiotic young girl liked him? And he now was finding himself interested in the tiny blonde. It was all too confusing for him just yesterday he was indifferent towards her with just a strong dislike towards her when he was in her presence. But now how was he supposed to act around her? He needed time to figure out what to do, how to act towards her, and how to feel about her.

He noticed that more students were starting to pile into the halls and it was now about the time he got to school normally and for the sake of keeping appearances he knew he had to go to his locker even though right now at this moment he wanted to avoid it.

Darien got up from his crouching position and made his way to his locker and opened the locker with ease and saw the pink envelope now fall to the floor. Funny he used to think these letters fell gracefully out of his locker now he saw it fall out with almost as much clumsiness as he had seen Serena fall.

He bent down to pick it up quickly and stuffed it away in his bag with less gentleness than he used to have. When he looked up he made eye contact with two bright blue eyes staring at him from behind her locker door.

Had he never noticed before? Had he never noticed her watching him every Monday open his locker to retrieve her letter. He felt stupid how had he missed her.

She saw him lock eyes with her, she had watched him open his locker like always but today it was different. He had opened with such carelessness almost like he was indifferent towards the letters. She felt her heart sink a little but then he looked up and right at her with a knowing look. She felt heart face burn bright red. She quickly turned her head and grabbed her books without thinking closed her locker and turned to head to class. Had he known? He couldn't have she was so careful. Plus she was sure if he knew he would humiliate her but that look in his eyes said so much without words.

Darien watched her awkwardly shuffle away as he had caught her staring at him.

'Not such a sneaky bunny,' He inwardly mused before shaking the loving thoughts away still needing to process everything. He had to admit though the blush that crept over her cheeks was adorable when he caught eye contact with her.

The day continued with an awkward feeling hanging over Serena. She felt thrilled that the day had finally ended and was excited to meet Mina for a milkshake and just some girl chat to shake the day's weird feeling.

Serena finally entered through the sliding glass doors and was welcomed into the familiar hangout spot greeted with the smell of fried food and the 8 bit music from the arcade machines.

Serena made her way to her familiar booth surprised for once that she was here before Mina. She hated when this happened. People were nicer to her when Mina was in her company. When she was alone people tended to treat her worse because of the relentless bullying at school.

"Meatball head," Andrew greeted her at the table as Serena was just sliding into the plastic covered booth chairs.

"Serena," She corrected him.

She never understood why Andrew hated her. She always thought he was so nice and his interactions with Mina and others he generated such a warmth but towards her he had such a cold attitude.

"Whatever, will it be your usual large order?" He said putting extra emphasis on the world large.

"Uh." Serena feeling awkward, "No just a chocolate shake." Serena said not meeting his eyes.

He then just walked away as Mina finally scooted into the booth, "Hey Serena," she said cheerfully.

Serena then pushed aside the tears that were threatening to brim her eyes and smiled her bright smile at Mina, "Hey! I beat you here for once."

"I know it must be a rare day better mark your calendar don't think you will ever beat me here again," Mina giggled.

Darien watched Serena from his normal barstool seat. He watched the girl she emitted such a brightness and warmth that he hadn't noticed before. It was like nothing could bring her down. Not even when people were rude to her. How had he not noticed all these things about her.

Andrew then returned to their table with Serena's shake and this time with a smile when he saw Mina.

"Hey Mina, what can I get you?" He asked while placing the milkshake on the table ignoring Serena at this point. Not that Serena minded being ignored, it was better than being picked on.

"Just an order of fries, thanks Andrew," Mina said politely not noticing Andrew hung around a bit longer than normal until he finally left the table to put her order in.

Serena stopped sipping at her milkshake once he finally left the table, "I think someone has a crush on you," Serena giggled.

"Maybe if he treated my best friend better his crush would be fulfilled," Mina shrugged glancing over at Andrew.

"Mina, don't let me come in between your dating life," Serena looked down feeling guilt overcome her with the fact she was afraid she was just a burden to Mina with a lot of problems that came with being her friend.

"Oh no don't get that look in your eyes," Mina frowned, "Sure he would have a chance but if he can't treat my best friend of all people with some respect then it would never work, plus I don't like bullies, and you are not a burden before you let yourself go there."

Before Serena could interject Andrew returned with a plate of fries, "Here you go Mina, let me know if you need anything else." Andrew smiled and then gave Serena a look before returning back over the counter to talk to Darien.

Darien noticed the look Andrew gave Serena as well as the way he was treating her and he felt oddly protective of her now.

"What was with look?" Darien asked raising a brow as Andrew returned back to the counter.

"Why do you care?" Andrew said giving him a confused look.

He had not realized he would have to maintain appearances at least until he figured things out and still had to act like he hated her, " I don't but I do care that you seem angry with her, so what did she do?"

The answer seemed to be sufficient to Andrew who didn't press him further, "I heard Mina talking and she apparently won't give me any chance unless I am nicer to that brat."

"Well would it be so bad to be nicer to her?" Darien said without thinking and noticed the look Andrew gave him like he had gone mad, "I mean for the sake of getting a date with the girl you're practically in love with?"

"Darien, it's Serena. While I may have no personal issues with her it's uncool to be nice to her, somehow Mina gets away with it, but..." Andrew paused.

"Dude that's stupid, popularity is not that important you shouldn't be a tool to her because it's cool to," Darien said.

"Dude seriously what is with you today? You're defending Serena?" Andrew asked now raising his brow at him.

"I am not defending her. But if you are being a jerk to her because it's cool to then its pathetic. Plus if you want a date with Mina you're gonna have to be nice to her," Darien said deflecting.

"Aren't you a jerk to her too?" Andrew asked.

"Well yeah, but that's different, I don't do it to stay in good graces with my popularity." Darien shrugged not really sure why at this point he was such a jerk to Serena.

Was he a jerk to her because she truly was a thorn in his side? Did that one time she ran into him with a milkshake really warrant his rude behavior? He was not even sure why he hated her because of these damn letters.

"Any new leads on Bunny?" Andrew asked breaking Darien from his thoughts.

"No," Darien said sternly not wanting to talk about it at this moment in time.

"Well until you find this Bunny why not keep your bed occupied and let out some of your frustration on one of your many fans," Andrew smirked.

"That is the last thing I think I want right now," Darien said honestly, "Hey I think I am going to go," Darien stated and gathered his backpack while Andrew waved goodbye to him.

He just needed to be alone right now and he hadn't gotten around to reading the letter that Serena had left him and he truly was interested in learning what it contained now that he knew of her identity.

Mina who had overheard the conversation from afar smirked thinking Darien had become soft suddenly. It was sweet seeing this change in him and he truly seemed to be enamored by her best friend but of course he didn't know that, he only knew her as Bunny.

"Mina? What's with that look?" Serena spoke breaking her friend's thoughts.

"Oh nothing just thinking about something from earlier," Mina shrugged dipping her fry in some ketchup.

Once inside his apartment and alone Darien plopped on his couch and retrieved the pink envelope from his book bag. He gently ripped it open feeling anticipation in what the letter said this week, he hadn't had a moment alone today to read it and to be honest his brain was still spinning at his knowledge that Bunny was Serena he wasn't ready to read the letter until now.

Darien,

I dreamed of you the other night, I dreamed that we walked through the park at night and we ended the night with a sweet kiss. I hope one day we can meet and maybe it won't be something saved for my dreams.

With Love,

Bunny.

He didn't know why but the thought of Serena dreaming of him made him hard. He wondered if the dreams really were as innocent as she wrote them to be. Or was she leaving details about the dream out? Just the thought of Serena having a wet dream or touching herself to him made his mind go wild.

He had just learned of Serena's identity of being Bunny but he warmed up to the idea of it quickly and began to see more qualities of her he had not noticed before. Like her bright blue eyes that reminded him of the sky on a sunny day. How her hair seemed to shine when she was in the sunlight. How kissable her pink lips were and watching them suck on the straw of her milkshake at the arcade drove him mad with want when he thought back to it. He began to notice the young blonde had curves that he wanted to see more of and long milky legs hidden under her skirt.

How had he not noticed all of these things before.

Unable to control himself he unbuttoned his pants and began to stroke himself muttering her name to himself between each stroke till his climax.

Serena finished her milkshake still laughing in the booth with Mina about whatever and anything that happened over the weekend and during the school day.

"Say Serena, write anymore letters?" Mina asked finishing her last french fry.

"SHUSH!" Serena glared, "Not so loud, and maybe," Serena stated not meeting her friends eyes while finishing her milkshake.

The girls finished up their conversation and made their way out of the arcade before Andrew stopped her from leaving causing Mina to give her friend a suspicious look. Serena knew why Mina was hanging back but Serena urged Mina that she would be fine and turned to Andrew feeling her stomach churn afraid of what he would possibly say to her.

"Listen," Andrew started letting out a breath, "I know I have been a jerk."

"Yeah and?" Serena said staring at him with confusion where this was coming from.

"I heard Mina say she wouldn't give me a chance unless I was nicer to you," Andrew said matter of factly.

"So now you're gonna be nice to me to score a date with my friend? What a nice guy," Serena rolled her eyes annoyed that this was the only reason someone could ever be nice to her.

"Well yes, but Serena to be honest I don't hate you." Andrew stated.

"Then why do you act like it?" Serena asked now.

"Because it's dumb but it's expected of me and I know that is a shitty excuse but thats why." Andrew said.

"That's a really dumb reason," Serena stated feeling tears begin to well up, "Listen I won't discourage Mina from dating you and I am sure she will if you stop acting like a dick but I still don't like you because," Serena stopped speaking and bolted out of the arcade.

She just couldn't take it anymore no one liked her except Mina, everyone treated her poorly. And why because it was cool to? What made that okay?

She continued to run home wondering if thats why Darien treated her so poorly? Because it was cool to? Or did he treat her poorly because he actually hated her and everyone else followed in suit because Darien was idolized by the school population.

The sinking feeling set in why would Darien ever look at her differently.

Darien cleaned himself up and began to think. Darien never pleasured himself to a girl. No he usually had that girl if he wanted her and sure he pleasured himself from time to time but not with a specific girl in mind. It slightly terrified him that Serena had this effect on him so quickly. Was he that depraved from a real relationship with someone.

He began to think to himself what he would do from here. He knew who Bunny was and he had taken to the idea pretty well that she was Serena. But now how did proceed. He wasn't sure if he was ready to make things public with her and ask her on dates yet. He was mainly not ready to handle his friend's reactions, he wasn't exactly sure why that bothered him but the idea of him being with someone like Serena very publicly was difficult for him. He would start slow, and he had the perfect idea. He got up and quickly grabbed some stationary and a pen and began to write back to his little Bunny proposing it was time they met face to face, somewhere private. He needed to talk to her. He needed her.

A/N:OH BOY two updates in two days as promised! I will update again next weekend so keep an eye out we are just starting to get interesting. I hope you all enjoy the chapter and until next time!
