This popped into my head during the lunch line a couple days ago. It might be a two-shot, or more. I might also update "When Tragedy Strikes" and start one of the ideas that float through my mind.

A/n: Casey's POV

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN LIFE WITH DEREK.

It was Thursday, your typical day in Thompson High, and I was standing in the lunch line. All of a sudden hands grab my waist and squeeze playfully. I squealed and turned to see who it was "Der-ek!" I playfully slapped he shoulder. Derek smirked at me and I smirked back.

"Don't you have someone else to torment." I teased as I ran my fingers through my hair.

Derek crossed his arms over his chest "Oh please Casey you know you love being teased."

I said with a sarcastic tone "Oh sure, I just love being teased."

"Really, Do I sense sarcasm in your voice?"

"Maybe."

I was walking to my table with Derek and he went to his.

"Why were you just flirting with Derek?" Emily asked.

"What? No Why would I?" I blurted.

"Yeah you were. Let's see you talked in you playful sarcastic flirty voice and you ran your fingers through your hair. I don't know why you would Casey. Normally you tell me if you like someone."

"So what if I did that it means nothing at all. I don't like Derek, okay Em."

"Ok whatever you say Case, I just wanna be in the loop cuz I am your best friend."

Lunch ended and the rest of the day was pretty boring. Derek and I got home and it was empty. I noticed a note in the kitchen

Dear Derek and Casey,

George won't be home till 5 because he went to a meeting at Lizzie and Edwin's school with them. I am out with Marti shopping till 5. If you need anything call.

Love,

Mom

"Derek, Mom and George won't be home till 5!"

"Okay." He faintly said because he was upstairs.

I ran upstairs to my room.

Why was I flirting with Derek at lunch? He was flirting with me too though with the way he grabbed me and everything. Does Derek want me? My STEP-brother wants me! Do I want him too? Ah! I flung back on my bed. I should go talk to Derek.
