Derek!

Casey slammed her door as she ran into her room and collapsed onto her bed. She and Sam had just broken up about twenty minutes ago at school and she didn't know what to do. She knew her annoying stepbrother, Derek, would home any minute now to make fun of her and all she could do was wait.

Just to get things straight, she DID NOT break up with Sam, he broke up with her. Casey had been attracted to Sam since the day she first saw him on the steps with Derek. She fell hard, not just metaphorically speaking, but literally.

Sam had been attracted to Casey too. He had liked her the same way she liked him and at first everything was great. They started dating, and in three weeks it would have been theirsix monthanniversary. Casey couldn't have been happier, but Sam was a whole other story. He really liked Casey, but the relationship was putting too much strain on another, his friendship with Derek. And Sam decided that his friendship with Derek was more important than any high school girlfriend.

As Casey cried silently into a pillow Derek was walking home with Sam. "So you want to come over and play some Babe Raider?" Derek asked.

"Not today man," Sam replied.

"Why?"

"Because I just can't"

"What got to get ready for a date with my sister?"

"Okay A, no I don't have date with Casey, B, I have a ton of homework to do tonight, C, I'm babysitting for my next door neighbor, and D, Casey and I broke up so you don't have to worry about me dating YOUR SISTER ANY MORE!" Sam shouted.

Derek was dumfounded. He simply didn't know what to say. When it was time for the two to go their separate ways the two best friends said their goodbyes and departed. Derek didn't know what to do. Casey would be devastated. She was truly in love with Sam.

Of course this could work to Derek's advantage; he was starting to see Casey in a different light. When he saw Casey, he no longer saw annoying stepsister, he saw hot 16 year-old with a room right down the hall.

But he was also starting to care about Casey more than sexually, and he didn't want to see her hurt like this.
