Buh buh and Burr burr

Chapter one

The day it all began

Casey McDonald is sixteen years old but has seen more pain than most people at her age. Along with the everyday teenage girl problems of school, chores and boyfriends that turn out to be jerks, Casey has had to deal with many other hardships such as rape, abuse and divorce. Her parents have not gotten divorced yet, but with all the fighting and chaos at home, she knows that it is right around the corner. Her sister Lizzie notices it too but doesn't stress over it as much as Casey does. It probably is more because Casey doesn't get along with her mother at all and her mother is constantly making mistakes and hurting Casey's father. Casey is really close with her dad and hates seeing him go through all this pain. Casey is in the 11th grade at Grove High School and is sort of happy there. She transferred in the middle of high school because she did not want to go to a private school anymore. She has made plenty of friends but there are many people that she wished she didn't have to see everyday. He goes on with her days at that school trying to be happy but after a while it sucks not having a real true best friend that will always be there for you, no matter how hard you're crying, or how bad you're hurting. It is something she longs for and craves. Until one day when her wish came true.

Casey was on AIM and Myspace talking to friends and answering survey questions when she comes across a survey an old friend of hers, Jessica, took. Underneath relationship questions the survey asked, 'Do you like pie?' Casey chuckled at Jessica's answer of 'sure'. Casey thought it was too funny not to send to someone. She was in the middle of a conversation with her friend Alyssa and decided to send it to her.

SpaceCase99: Look what this girl wrote on this survey

Preciousbabyxox: okay.

SpaceCase99: "Do you like pie?" "Sure" That was under relationship questions.

Preciousbabyxox: Ha-ha wow, a girl wrote that?

SpaceCase99: Ha-ha yup. She obviously doesn't know what that question was asking… actually maybe she did... Ha-ha.

Preciousbabyxox: That's so funny.

SpaceCase99: Ha-ha yeah.

Preciousbabyxox: So Casey, do you like pie?

SpaceCase99: Ha-ha no I'm good, I like lollypops wink

Preciousbabyxox: Ha-ha wow.

SpaceCase99: Ha-ha

Preciousbabyxox: Oh my god I just asked my friend Derek if he liked pie and he said what flavor?

Casey begins laughing but realizes that most people don't think of what that question really means especially when it is asked out of the blue like that.

SpaceCase99: Explain to him that you like lollypops not pie.

Preciousbabyxox: He still doesn't get it ha-ha

SpaceCase99: Tell him the flavors of pie are white, black, Spanish, Indian, etc.

Preciousbabyxox: He got it now ha-ha.

SpaceCase99: Ha-ha okay good.

Preciousbabyxox: Yeah I just told him about you and the whole survey thing.

SpaceCase99: Oh okay...

Preciousbabyxox: Yeah. Look I have to go though, sorry. I told him to message you though. Have fun, bye!

SpaceCase99: Wait! No!

Preciousbabyxox has signed off.

'Great now some random person who definitely thinks I am crazy has my screen name.'

And before she knew it, she was getting a message from HockeyStar00

HockeyStar00: So I hear you like lollypops?

And that is when she met Derek Venturi. Derek was also sixteen and a junior in high school but he attended Hoover High School, not Grove. He only lived about ten minutes away from Casey though. Derek used to date Casey's friend Alyssa but he had never met nor even heard of Casey before. But from that day on these two never stopped talking; they hardly went a day without talking even if they were in a fight. They formed the most amazing relationship either of them had ever been in, and as far as Casey was concerned, February 11, 2008 was the best day of her life. February 11, 2008 was the day that two people found each other and helped the other one become a better person. This was the day that this amazing friendship began.
