This is my first story and it is called...drum roll please...
The Things They Know
Casey was sitting in her room doing her homework when her phone started to vibrate. She picked it up thinking it was Emily or maybe even Max calling to apologize. When she flipped open her phone she noticed it was a picture message. All she could do was stare at the screen. It was a picture of her and a shaggy haired boy, lying on a familiar bed, lips together. At first she didn't realize who was in the picture since she dated many saggy haired boys. After a moment of trying to figure out who the mystery man was she noticed that there was a message written underneath.
'I don't think our parents would like to see this'
Once Casey registered this all she could do was let a single gasp escape her mouth before she covered it with her hand.
'Oh no oh no I can't believe this is happening to me' thought Casey as she began pacing around her room.
Casey couldn't believe they had been careless enough to get caught. They had been sneaking around for over 5 months. They had been careful enough to only be seen in public places together where they knew no one would be able to recognize them. Even though they had dated for 5 months, Casey still had her doubts. She still remembers when Derek first asked her out
Flashback
Casey woke up to the smell of carnations and pancakes. She noticed a tray sitting on her end table. She lazily walked over to her end table and picked up a small bouquet of pink flowers. Attached to the bouquet was a small card. On the front of the card was a picture of an arrow pointing towards her door. The inside read 'follow the arrow after you eat and meet your second present on Corpora St.'
All Casey could do was wonder who sent her these flowers and who would really want to take time out of their day and be her secret admirer.
After Casey ate and dressed she walked down to Corpora St. and looked around for her second Valentine's Day clue. As she walked down the street she noticed small garden filled with carnations. When she neared the flowers she noticed something sparkling in the middle. She hesitantly walked over to the middle of the garden. She examined the object, realizing it was a ring with her name engraved on the inside. At that very moment she felt tears begin to roll down her cheeks. She couldn't believe that this was really happening to her.
As she studied the ring she noticed it was attached to a string. The string was attached to hallmark card. The card had a beautiful picture of a girl and boy sitting on a deck staring at the sunset. When she opened the card her favorite song began to play.
'She runs on 100 proof attitude powers
and the more she ignores me
the more I adore her
what can I do?
I'd do anything for her Just the girl I'm lookin' for'
She slowly began to cry. She couldn't believe that someone actually really wanted to put so much time and effort into impressing her. As she read the card she noticed the very familiar sloppy hand writing. She couldn't believe that Derek was her secret admirer. When it finally got through her thick skull, that Derek actually had the same feelings as her. She ran home not realizing she never found her final Valentine's Day clue. On her way home she noticed that someone was home, since she turned her house lights off. She flung open the door and ran up the stairs taking to at a time. She barged into Derek's room not caring what he had to say.
When she entered his room she saw a giant teddy bear holding a microphone sitting on his bed. As she neared the bear she heard a very familiar voice. It was his voice.
"Casey I have known you for 2 years now and everyday all I can think about is the way you make me smile. I know this may come as a shock to you, but I have fallen for you Casey McDonald. I hope and pray that you feel the same way."
Casey couldn't even wait for his little speech to be over. She ran over to the end of his bed and jumped on his back. When he rolled over all she could do was kiss him. It wasn't a small kiss. This kiss was filled with so much emotion. They both wanted to stay there for as long as possible. Derek slowly began to break the kiss.
"Casey I love you more than anything. Please be mine."
"Awwww Derek you're such a sap, of course I'll be yours."
End Flashback
After Casey's semi-daydream, she ran into Derek's room. After barging into his room she noticed he was still taking his mid-afternoon nap. She ran over to his bed and jumped on his back.
"What the hell was that for Case" said a cranky Derek.
"Well if you were awake, instead of acting like you were a king that could sleep all day, I wouldn't have to do that" Casey said in a voice that he knew all too well.
Casey was trying to stay on track, but as she looked into his chocolate eyes she just got lost. She rolled over so he was on top. He gently kissed her lips not realizing that he was breaking her morning breath rule. She gently pushed him off, scrunching up her nose trying to hint to him that his breath was not kissing fresh. She slowly got off of the bed and pulled him up with her.
"Derek I have something very important to tell you."
Casey didn't wait for him to give her an answer before she ripped her phone out of her pocket. She carefully retrieved the message.
"Der, I think they know why we were sneaking around"
Casey hesitantly showed Derek the picture of them laying on his bed kissing. Once Casey showed him the picture all she heard was a loud thump. She tried grabbing his wrist to stop his fall, but she somehow missed them. When Derek fainted she tried to help him back up, however he was heavier than she thought he was. Casey whacked him on his arm as soon as Derek regained stability.
"What the hell was that for, Case?"
"That was for not locking your door last night," said a pissed Casey.
"Well what are we going to do now Der?"
"Well for starters, you could stop hitting me" said Derek in a playful tone.
"Derek this is not funny" Casey said giving him another whack on his arm.
"Okay okay, how about we find out who sent us the message."
"Well I tried doing that but the number is unknown."
"Hello princess, 69 them" Derek said in a 'duh' tone.
"I already tried that stupid but the person's phone is turned off and they don't have a custom voice mail" Casey said in a annoyed tone.
As Derek and Casey spoke in his room there was someone on the other side of the door listening intently. That person was the last person that Derek and Casey would think of. This person was always around but neither of them realized it. This person knew all of their secrets and wasn't afraid to let the whole neighborhood know them.
That is where I shall leave you for now. Please do not expect updates every day since I am 1 of the slowest writers ever. I'm stretching for at least 5 reviews before I update again. I hope you guys liked this chapter. It took me 3 days to finally end this chapter since I always start late at night. So now that you have finished this chapter I suspect the purple fairy has come to your house and is telling you to click the beautiful purple button down there.
