It was a Tuesday morning at school and neither Casey nor Derek knew that their life would change within the next days. Derek was hanging out with some girls by his locker. Casey was talking to Emily about their science project. They had not come in contact all day, well except for breakfast. After they left their home, they took different rides.

3rd Period-

Economics

"So as you can understand, even with the little things that some of us have, we actually have much more then 3rd world countries." Miss Daze explained to her class.

Derek was staring out the window. He found class boring and he honestly did not care about 3rd world countries. 'Not my problem, I don't need to deal with it'. 'What I do care about is that chick that gave me her number this morning. OK, so I don't care about her, but I would not want her to get hit by a truck. She is a really good kisser.'

"Mr. Venturi. Come here to the front of the class."

Derek got kind of scared. He had no idea what his teacher wanted from him. He went up to the front of the class and winked at the girl he met earlier.

"Derek, What is your most prized possession?" His teacher asked.

"My Ipod."

"Would you say you need your Ipod in order to survive?"

"Yes." A couple students laughed. 'They probably have Ipods too.'

"I want it." She said this with complete seriousness.

"No."

"I'll fail you if you don't give me your Ipod for the week."

"Fine." He grabbed his backpack from under his desk and took the Ipod out. He could not fail this class. His dad would not let him play hockey anymore.

After taking the Ipod, she said to the class, "Everyone who laughed; I want your Ipods too. I know who you are and I can fail you as well." 5 students got up and took their Ipods to the front. One guy kissed his Ipod goodbye and went back to his seat crying. 'Loser' Derek thought as he looked at his Ipod longingly.

"This is to teach you that you don't need these things. These things are wants, privileges, and not needs. For the next week, we, as a class will be learning about what we need. We will also be learning about kids your ages that don't even have those needs. Be prepared. I might ask you to do things you normally would not do or might make you uncomfortable." Miss Daze said, her eyes scanning the classroom as if she was in a military camp.

The class groaned. Thankfully the bell rang and the students hurried to get to the door.

"Class, Tomorrow, I want you to bring something you don't think you could live without. Derek, Spencer, Allie, Kendra and Nick, you don't have to because I already have your Ipods. See you all tommorow."

A/N I know this is short, because it is kind of a preview for the story. Tell me if you like it so far, and if you have any ideas.
