Episode 16 : Flipping the Script
★ DARREN HEART★
~DORM~
Derek and Donald walk into the dorm only to find it empty.
“Is there a living soul in this house?” Donald ask.
“There is,two infact but it doesn’t seem like they are home ” Derek said moving towards Ariana room while Donald went to Darren room.
“Darren isn’t here” Donald said.
“I think you should come see this” Derek said getting into room while Donald followed suit.
They both stood starring at Darren and Ariana curled up on the bed while sleeping like a babe.
“Let’s leave” Donald said to Derek who wanted to wake the two up but Donald pulled him out of the room.
“What was that for? We should wake them up, I can’t believe that Ariana girl is trying to take my Darren attention” Derek said looking angry.
“Darren isn’t yours and stop exaggerating, Darren needs a girl in his life and that girl is her” Donald said.
“Just until a few days ago, you were head over heels for her” Derek said to Donald who snorted in reply.
“I was like you’ve mentioned but seeing Darren and her together have made me realise that she isn’t for me and I doubt that she will want a guy who left her in the midst of dangerous men” Donald said remembering their outing incident.
“So are we just going to leave them alone and do nothing?” Derek asked.
“We will” Donald replied.
“I can’t do that” Derek said turning back towards Ariana room but Donald pulled him back and out of the room.
The door slamming shut got Ariana opening her eyes.
She stirred and turn only to hit someone on the bed.
She found herself touching the thing on the bed and immediately her eyes widen when she felt someone underneath her soft touch.
Opening her eyes fully, she saw Darren sleeping on the bed, on her bed and it was at that particular time that he opened his eyes too.
The two of them stared at each other for a while but it was Ariana who broke the silence.
She screamed and push at Darren who lost his footing and fell hard on the floor.
“What are you trying to do you pervert!” She yell at him.
“I wasn’t trying to do any thing, I was only trying to help you cause you were……”
“Get out of my room, you jerk! You dirty playboy! How can you do this when you know am just a poor sick girl! Get out,get out before I kill you!” She yelled while throwing things on him, things he dodge before as he quickly left her room.
“What a jerk!” She yelled and turn to get off the bed when she saw a wet towel, a bowl of water and drugs on her bed side table.
Did he…..she stop when she remembered some time during the time she was sleeping that someone had wake her up forcing her to use a drug.
“Did he take care of me?” She ask feeling bad for having judge him.
She left her room and went to his only to see him lying on the bed with his back turned towards her.
“Darren,I…..” She began trying to find a way to apologise to him.
“Am sorry Darren, I didn’t know you were taking care of me though am still wondering why you chose to sleep on my bed after taking care of me but still……am sorry and I…..are you listening to me Darren?” She called softly.
“Are you okay, Darren?” She asked moving close to him when he still didn’t answer.
She touch his arm only to feel it’s hotness.
“You have a fever” she said turning him to face her.
She touch his head only to feel it’s hotness.
“Your burning up” she muttered in fright and immediately went out to get some towel and water.
She did the same thing he did to her a while back and it wasn’t until midnight that she felt his temperature coming down.
She felt too tired to get to her room and so sitting on the carpeted floor, she lay her head on his bed and also went to sleep.
~MORNING ~
Darren woke up not to feel sick again,his banging headache from last night gone and he stretch in contentment.
He hates being sick and talking of sick, he had help a sick person yesterday only to be treated like a pervert, he sat up wanting to go talk some few truth to Ariana when he saw her sleeping on his bed.
She was seated on the floor with her head resting on some part of his bed.
He was about waking her when instead he found himself moving close to her, looking at her face.
He wouldn’t deny that she look pretty when she’s asleep, he thought still starring at her lovely face.
Just then he felt his heart beating fast, he didn’t know why but his heart kept beating fast each time he stare at her face.
He felt flustered by her nearness and some weird sensation in him, it’s his first time feeling this way and somehow it made him feel strange.
He thought moving away while trying to calm his racing heart.
He stood up and went to where Ariana was.
He carried her swiftly into his arms and took her to her room.
He was about laying her down on the bed when he tripped over one of her shoe.
It send him staggering with her until they both fell on the bed.
With Ariana beneath him while he was on top of her.
At that moment she opened her eyes starring at him silence and once again Darren finds himself starring at her eyes and lips.
Most definitely at her lips which kept calling to him wanting him to kiss it.
He couldn’t control the urge and bent towards her, his mouth aiming for her lips.

★ SNEEZE★
Darren kept moving towards her wanting to satisfy the urge of tasting her soft full lips when Ariana sneeze out loudly.
Sneezing all the mucos from her nose on mouth on his face.
“Arrrgh!!” Darren yelled as he got off of her while wiping his face.
“Am sorry, I didn’t mean to do that, I just….am sorry” Ariana muttered sitting up.
“I understand that sneezing is some thing you can’t control but did you have to do it on my face? ” He asked still wiping his face clean.
“Am sorry” Ariana said hiding a grin.
“Is that a smile? Are you laughing at me right now?” He asked.
“Why would I?” Ariana asked only to laugh again.
“Am sorry, it’s just so funny with my sneezing and all and…..”
“You won’t mind if I did mine too cause I can feel a sneeze coming” Darren said moving towards her and when she made an attempt to stand up.
He pulled her back which got falling flat on the bed while he was over her.
“No Darren! Am begging you don’t sneeze on me” she said putting her hand over her face and instead of putting his threat to action.
Darren found him self starring at her while she continuously begged him.
Slowly he pulled her hand away from her face while she stared up at him with cute lovely eyes.
“Beautiful” he said with out realising it also startling Ariana who wondered what he meant beautiful.
“What are you two doing?” Donald ask starring at them with interest.
“Nothing” Darren said sitting up while Ariana did the same.
“You two were definitely too close to be doing nothing” Donald said.
“We weren’t and it’s time you both get out of my room, out!” Ariana said while Darren and Donald walk out of the room.
“Tell me what’s up with the two of you?” Donald ask.
“Nothing” Darren replied.
“Derek and I saw you two sharing the same bed last night and now this….. Don’t tell me you like her?” Donald ask.
“You very well know that I don’t do love” Darren said heading to his room hating the discussion they were having.
“But that look” Donald said suddenly which made him stop.
“What look?”
“The way you were starring at her. It’s a new look, a different one. A soft one to be precise. Have never seen it on you before, that should tell you some thing” Donald said and not bothering to give him a reply.
Darren went into his room not bothering to give him a reply.
Is there really a truth in what Donald said, does he like Ariana? He thought as he put a hand on his chest.
“I missed school and you guys so much” Bella said with so much excitement.
“If some one heard you talking they will think we’ve been separated for five years when it’s just the weekend” Ariana said.
“You have no idea what I went through in the hands of my darn brother while staying at home with him during the weekend”
“You always talk about Derek like he’s some sort of ogre which I doubt” Ariana said.
“He isn’t an Ogre but a monster” Bella said shaking her head while Ariana smiled knowing that under neath the insult Bella loves her brother dearly.
“You know you haven’t finish telling me about your date with Darren” Bella said softly.
“What date?”
“The one which got you two wet on the weekend ” Bella said.
“It’s not a date and I only went there because I felt guilty knowing he would be waiting for me in the rain” Ariana said.
“To be sincere with you, I never thought Darren would wait for you even after I went to him to tell……”
“You talk to him?” Ariana asked and she nodded.
“Few hours before the rain started, I went to him and told him that you have no intention of showing up but then he still chose to wait “Bella said while Ariana wondered why he did.
“Which tells me clearly that Darren is into you. Think about it , why would he wait for you when you never told him that you would be there…..have known Darren for a long time and I know that he isn’t the type to wait for anyone but he did for you which tells me that he likes you” Bella said excitedly.
Back when she sneezed on him she was sure that he was going to kiss her, could it be that he really likes her? She thought only to dismiss it.
“That’s nonsense” she said walking off while Bella followed suit and unknown to them both Sandra stood in shadow having heard their whole discussion…
Episode 18 : The School Lounge Showdown
★THEIR PLAN★
Felicity walk into one of the school lab feeling very angry.
Darren had went out with that bitch during the weekend and he even went as far as to wait for her when she didn’t show up.
He has never wait for her before ,he always tell her that he hates waiting for people and then he did the opposite just because of that witch, Felicity thought as she screamed again.
Just then Sandra and Belinda walk into the room.
“What’s going on?” Sandra ask as they went to the raging Felicity.
“Darren, am gonna lose Darren to her” Felicity said now with tears in her eyes.
“Calm down and explain better to us” Belinda said and Felicity did explain.
“That slut! I never knew she was aiming for Darren” Sandra said.
“As long as she is not interested in my Donald then am…..” Belinda shut up when she saw the angry look Sandra gave her.
“What can we do about this cause we can’t just seat back and let her take Darren away from Felicity” Belinda said saying the thing they needed to hear.
“I have a plan and if you guys help, I know it will work” Felicity said wiping off her tears.
“Of course,just tell us what it’s about” Sandra said.
~ CLASS ROOM~
“He likes you, he likes you, he likes you ” Bella words kept ringing in through Ariana head that she didn’t get the chance to focus on class and it wasn’t until the bell rung for break that she finally came back to earth.
“Are we done?” Ariana asked Bella who nodded.
“Of course, where on earth did you go to girl?” Bella asked only for Ariana to hit her arms.
“Aren’t you the one who told me stupid things that is now in my head” Ariana said.
“What stupid thing ….oh! Is it Darren ” Bella asked smiling naughtily.
“So you also know that he likes you” Bella added jokingly.
“Just stop filling my head with crazy thoughts” Ariana said getting out of her seat.
“Call Susan and let her know we are going to the cafeteria ” Bella said after her.
Ariana was about doing that when Sandra approached her.
“Hello Alien, oh! I mean Ariana. Can you please spare me a few seconds?” Sandra asked.
“Why?”
“I need you to listen to some thing and it’s pretty important” Sandra said taking hold of Ariana hand before she could stop her.
It wasn’t until they got to the library that she let go.
“Stay and listen to some thing juicy and when I mean some thing juicy, I mean some truth” Sandra said before walking away.
Ariana was about to leave when she heard a particular voice coming from inside which got her staying where she is.
