Two Can Play That Game

Chapter 1- Catwalk

It was one of those hot days in August. The sun couldn't have chosen a better time to cook every person in the city. The Tsukino's had just arrived in their new home.

The woman, in her late forties stepped out of the car in excitement. She contemplated the huge modern mansion cheerfully. The movers had already started moving in the big carton boxes into the house.

Her husband pulled out the small baby out it's car seat and handed her to her mother. He kissed his happy wife who couldn't wait any longer.

"Where are they?" she demanded impatiently, glancing at her watch.

"I'm not sure, I think they said it was something like the Glowendale or the Owendale Park." said the blonde as she maneuvered the wheel or the car.

"We're lost. I knew it." replied the sandy blond boy in the passenger seat.

"That's ludicrous!" mimicked the blonde driver with the pigtails.

They had now done 4 times the neighborhood.

"I'm hungry and thirsty…That's it! I'm calling mom." insisted the boy.

"Com'on Sammy, don't wimp out on me now!" exclaimed Serena. She stopped the car at the nearest corner store and opened the door.

"Where you going?" asked Sammy.

"I'm gonna try to find some directions. You can't go off running to mom all the time." she closed the door behind her leaving her younger teenage brother alone in the car groaning.

Besides, if she was going to be living here now, she needed to know what the place was like. She spotted a group of cute guys sitting at a table playing cards.

"Argh, Fuck! Damn you Seiya you're a god damn cheater!" cried the silver haired one. He had a soft, musical voice and a long ponytail. He threw his cards roughly on the table, frustrated.

They all lifted their heads when they saw her standing there.

"Um...Hi guys. Sorry to bother your game it's just I'm trying to find the um, Glowendale park. Would you happen to know where it is?"

The guy with the long dark hair and the ponytail chuckled.

"You mean the Goldendale?"

Serena slapped herself mentally. "So that's what it was." she said, dumbly.

'Stupid, stupid Serena, stupid. Now their going to think you're a dumb blonde.' she thought to herself.

"Well you go straight on Kennedy and take a turn right at the 3rd stop, you can't miss it." he said, not taking his eyes off her.

Serena smiled and pushed her bangs out of her eyes. She looked him up and down subtly. His face had fine features and almond eyes, almost feminine, but his ghetto slang language and the way he hung himself was very different. He wore a plain white wife beater with baggy denim jeans and Nike sneakers.

"Thanks so much. I'm Serena." she held her hand out to him. After all, she was new, nothing better than making new friends right? And it's a bonus if he's hot.

"I'm Seiya. These are my friends." he shook her hand and almost had trouble parting from it. The other guys at the table waved at her discreetly.

"Wanna join us in a game?" offered one of them.

"No thanks, my brother's waiting in the car." she said, pointing the new BMW she'd gotten for recent her birthday.

"You're new here?"

"Yeah."

"What school you in?"

"Raldon. You guys know?"

Seiya and the other scrunched up their noses. "Man, yeah I know Raldon, it's a real shit hole over there. You should come to our school."

Serena raised her eyebrows curiously. What could be so bad about Raldon?

She was about to ask them when her cell phone rung; it was her mother.

"Well I have to go guys. I'll see you around. Thanks for the directions!" she said, waving goodbye to them.

'Woah, Seiya was really hot.'

"Where were you?" grounded the woman.

"Sorry Mom, we got lost on the way."

"Yeah mom."said Sammy taking another lick of his fudge ice cream.

She sighed. "Well its getting late. Tomorrow you need to start unpacking your stuff because school starts on Monday."

Sammy and Serena shared an exasperated sigh.

Last year echoed through Serena's head. School, homework, friends, boys, rumors, parties… This was going to be fun.

NEXT DAY

The sun's rays streaked through large window's curtains. The strong light pierced through room's darkness and shun right into his face. His small eyes calmly rose open. He rubbed his neck and sat up.

"Mr. King?" asked the short plump lady with the apron, "You're already awake at this time?"

"Yeah Doris. Today, I have to pick Andrew up from the airport today." He said, walking down the stairs.

He walked up to the auburn haired girl sitting in the middle of the large fancy wood table and kissed her forehead.

"Morning Mika."

"G' morning." she chanted cheerfully.

The tall man sitting at the end looked up from his newspaper in shock.

"Is he sleep walking ?" he whispered to the girl.

"You're awake at this time? You know its 9:30 right? You don't start school till tomorrow."

"Good morning to you too James." mumbled Darien slightly annoyed. He sat at the other end of the table as Doris pulled out his favorite cereal and a bowl of milk.

"Thank you Doris."

James lifted his eyes to the man at the other end.

"Darien, what did mom tell you about coming to the table without a shirt on?"

Darien rolled his eyes and jumbled the cereal with his spoon.

"Yeah well she's not here so…"

"It's very impolite. I insist."

"James, give Darien a break, you know you do it too sometimes." defended Mika.

Darien winked at his baby sister. "Thanks kid."

"You two always gang-up on me. What is with that?" frowned James.

Mika pushed out of her chair and gave James a hug. "Oh...you know that's not true…I love you both equally, you are a great big-big brother."

"Yeah…James you know we love you." said Darien sarcastically.

She made her way towards the exit of the dining room slowly, almost tip-toeing.

"Where are you going little lady?" asked James.

"Shopping with friends!" she shouted quickly from the entrance.

"Bye!" and closed the door behind her.

The two men smirked at each other.

"Good thing we put that GPS in her phone."

"Yup…always gotta know where that girl is." said James, and went back to his reading.

Serena stepped out of the bathroom and went into her new room. She absolutely loved it. The long white walls and the chandelier made her feel like a princess. Her mother had always loved big houses…which is probably why she had gotten married to Nigel, her new step dad.

He wasn't so bad, Sammy and Serena got along fine with him, as long as he made their mother happy…

"Wahhhhhh!!Wahhhhh!!"

And then there was the new baby of the family, Jamie.

Serena walked over to her room, "Com'ere. You're just too cute to be crying aren't ya?"

The baby looked at Serena silently, and started to cry again.

"Oh well. It won't be my fault if we don't have a healthy relationship. At least I tried." she said, and walked out.

She stepped into her walk-in to choose what to wear.

"How about…?"

"You." said Darien, pulling out a navy Ralph Lauren Polo.

RING

He grabbed the phone on the bed.

"Hello?"

"…"

"Drew, You there yet?"

"…"

"Yeah…I'm pickin you up."

"…"

"Aight, see you later."

Darien grabbed his keys and left.

"Serena, can you go buy some milk at the corner store for me?"

"You want fries with that Mum?" mocked Serena.

Her mother shot her playful stern look.

"Yes Boss…" she said immediately.

She grabbed her keys and walked out to the car.

It wasn't so bad, after all, maybe Seiya and the hot guys from yesterday will be there again.

Darien leaned on the leather car seat and turned up the music. He couldn't help but admire his new baby, Benz. The beautiful black Mercedes he'd gotten for his 17th birthday earlier in August.

He'd been parked in the airport for some time. He looked at his watch when someone banged at the window. Darien looked up at the blonde outside the car and smiled.

The man sat into the car and man-hugged Darien.

"Man…Really feelin the car, you're gonna have to let the Papy chulo take it for a little ride..." said Andrew as he inspected the inside of the car.

"Andrew Korvitch...never gonna change are you? You only have two interests, women and cars—"

"And money, you forgot money."

"and money…Nice to see you're still your same old sane self. "

They both laughed and Darien started the car.

"So...how was Brazil?"

"Ha! Beautiful, beautiful women all over. I finally understand why my father always went there for business…Beautiful island, the water, the trees, the carnivals…Its truly beautiful—wait just stop over there for a sec, I gotta get some cigarettes."

Darien sighed, "You're still smoking! I thought I already told you, that shits gonna kill you one day you know it."

"Comon' Dar everybody's got a small addiction they need to nurse oncer in a while. I'm only a casual smoker."

Darien glared at Andrew and snorted. He parked the car and they got out in front of the corner store.

Serena stared at the window. She didn't which milk to choose.

She grabbed the two kinds and passed by the ice cream window.

It was like 100 degrees outside. Why not?

The cute guys at the table weren't there that day. She had looked forward to seeing Seiya again.

She walked over to the caisher and stood in line after an old lady who had at least 30 things to pass. She sighed, worried that her ice cream might melt.

Andrew and Darien walked into the small store and stood in the long line behind a petite blonde. 'Hmm, she's cute' thought Darien.

Finally, the old lady was finished. Serena walked up to the counter and looked up at the cashier. He seemed familiar… the long dark ponytail...Heavy accent…

"Seiya?"

He turned around and grinned. "Serena! You just couldn't wait to see me again huh?"

She couldn't help but giggle.

"I didn't know you worked here…" she started.

Darien couldn't wait any longer…Blondie over there was flirting with the cashier and he needed to get home.

He rudely stepped in front of her, interrupting the conversation with the cashier.

"Well it's my dad's store so—"

All of a sudden a raven haired man stepped in front of Serena.

"Yeah, and I'll take a pack of Marlboros…"

Serena was shocked. "Excuse-me."

When he heard her annoyed tone, something about it made him smile.

"Oh...and I'll take some gum too." he said, picking out a random pack of chewing gum from the candy stand.

"AHERM. EXCUSE-ME!"

He then turned around to face the gorgeous creature who had called for his attention.

"You callin' me baby?" he mocked her cockily.

Serena couldn't believe the nerve of this man. He was hot but that didn't give him any right to do that.

"I'm sorry but I was here first, so do you mind."

"Why yes I do. While you were over here flirtin' with whatshisface," he pointed at Seiya, "we were all waiting to pay our stuff and get the fuck out. So if YOU don't mind, I'll just pay my stuff and you can do whatever the hell you want after." said Darien.

Serena saw red. She felt the steam coming out of her ears. No man had ever spoken to her in that tone and she wouldn't let anyone cross that line.

"You…you JERK. First of all, it's not my fault you chose the stupid decision to smoke, if you were patient and POLITE you would just wait just like all the other people in line here. But nooo, Mr. I own the world with your stupid hair and your stupid Ralph Lauren logo just gotta be VIP, you just can't be like normal people and wait!"

She was so cute when she got mad. Darien just wanted to kiss the blonde right off her.

"Lady, if you knew the meaning of RESPECT and POLITENESS you would have noticed that behind you there's a small kid who wants to buy a candy, a girl who wants to buy some tampons and inoffensive men who just want to buy some cigarettes. These people don't have the courage to stand up to you but I do, and I'm telling you that I'm fucking tired of waiting for some dumb bitch who's trying to score a date with some loser, just ask for his friggin' number so we can all go home in peace."

Everyone in the store stared at Darien, shocked.

Then there was a big silence in the whole store. Everyone waited for the young blonde's comeback. But instead, she mumbled something about them being jackasses and stomped out without paying for her things.

In the meantime, Seiya had watched the whole scene in numb struck ness. He didn't know what else to do in this situation other than, "Um...okay everyone. Y'all can walk out with your stuff, it's free for today. Come back again."

Andrew grabbed his pack and slipped a chocolate bar in his pocket. He and Darien walked out to the car.

"THAT JERK! I SWEAR I'M GONNA…" Serena was furious. This ASSHOLE thought he could play a girl like her. The thought of him made her kick someone. He had a terrible nerve to speak like that to her, and without even bothering to apologize. She wasn't used to this kind of treatment coming from guys.

Who was he anyway?

Darien stopped the car in front of a large brick mansion. Andrew drew the cigarette from his mouth.

"What a day huh?"

"Yeh…"answered Darien, still a little groggy from the outburst out in the store.

"You know we have school tomorrow right?"

"Huh?"

"We have school. Pick me up tomorrow morning."

"Tss…Boy, where's your car?"

"At the garage. One of my raging fans scraped it."

They both chuckled.

"I guess it's back to school, back to work, back to sweet ladies dizzying you up?" said Andrew as he opened the passenger door.

Darien smirked. "You mean I'm the one dizzying the girls up."

"Pshyeah, whatever D. Nice going sweeping that blonde off her feet." he said, and closed the door before letting his friend get back to him.
