Derek's POV
"DEREK" came the voice that never stopped yelling. Casey McDonald.
Derek was getting tired of have to deal with all of her fits but it came with the job, after all he did cause about 99 of her problems. He silently smirked to himself. Derek turned the corner and popped his head in the kitchen. "Yeah?" he said already knowing why she was angry. "Did you eat the last of the cereal?" she asked trying to keep her temper. Derek could see that one little snappy comment and she would break. "Well look at that," he began, " it looks as thought I have. Why did you want some?" She glared at him and he simply smirked back. He turned and headed for the car. "Come on space Case we don't want to be late to school now do we?" he said mocking her.
Once at school they headed their opposite ways. The secret still hadn't gotten out that they were step-siblings. But if someone did find out it wouldn't matter. The only time they interacted at school was in English the only class they had in common. And they didn't even sit next to each other there. No, the only time Derek picked on Casey was at home. There he could pick on her one on one, there it could be more personal, more painful, and the chicks wouldn't think he was a total jerk because they would never see. Derek liked to think of it as a win-win situation.
Casey's POV
As Casey reached her locker she was trying to remember what she needed. What's today? Ah B day meaning: Ancient History, Geometry 2, Elective and then English . English was Casey's favorite class. The only thing wrong with it was Derek is in her class. Luckily they didn't sit next to each other and sometimes she forgot he was even there. "Hey Casey!" Casey turned in the direction of the voice. "Hey Emily" "So I was thinking" Emily began " that tonight you could come over and we could have a movie marathon all night!" " Um well…" Casey replied. " Come on Casey if Friday. Its not like we have school tomorrow anyways." True she was right and Casey couldn't remember the last time she stayed up all night for anything other than school. "Fine" Casey agreed " But I get to chose the theme… We could do musical night and only watch movies that are musicals or…." Casey started to making the schedule in her head so that she and Emily could get as many movies in as possible. I mean how often to people get to just sit around and watch movies when there are so many books to read and places to go.
The rest of the day went by quickly. Casey was so excited she already had all the movies in order. First: The Sound of Music. Duh, that was a classic. Second: The King and I. One of her favorites. Third: Annie. The little red head was so cute. And finally The Phantom of the Opera. No musical night would be complete without it and it brought tears to her eyes every time. Casey was about to burst. She could hardly wait to tell Emily what they would be watching. The dismissal bell rang and brought her back to reality. She grabbed her books and hurried of to the car to find Derek already waiting there.
"How did you get here so fast?" she asked. "English just got out and I didn't stop to talk to anyone." "I have my ways." he said implying that he skipped English. Casey didn't even notice. Normally she would go in to a huge explanation on why staying in school and doing work was so important but she was so happy about to night that she just forgot.
Casey was looking around the living room. "Has anyone seen The Phantom of the Opera lying around anywhere?" This was the key movie without it, it would not be musical night it would just be people running around singing randomly night. " The Phantom of the Opera? Why would a ghost want to haunt people that sing to loudly? " Derek said coming up behind her. "I mean if I were a phantom I would totally go for some place like the girls locker room… Although I wouldn't haunt it" he sat on his chair looking as though he was thinking seriously about killing himself just to haunt the girls locker room. "Anyway," he said snapping out of his little thought " I can't say I have." Casey signed angry. He could be such a sexist pig sometimes. She thought as she turned to leave. "Mom do you know where The Phantom of the Opera is? I can't find it in the DVD holder." she asked as she entered the kitchen. "Um no, I don't think I have seen it in awhile come to think of it." "Okay well then I guess I will go check upstairs again. Thanks" She ran upstairs and was going to her room. When she saw that Derek had left his door open. Open doors had always bothered Casey so as she went to close it she saw the movie sitting on top of Derek's computer. "How odd " she thought "Why would Derek have this movie in his room?" Well it didn't matter she was just glad she found it so that they would have a complete musical night. Casey ran back down stairs announcing that she had found it and that she was going to Emily's house.
She grabbed the other movies and headed for the door, when the doorbell rang. Casey turned the knob to find Emily standing there. "Hey Em, I was just about to head over there. What's up?" "Well I was wandering if we could have movie night over here tonight." "Um sure why?" "Well my parents are dinner with his boss tonight and their coming to our house, and my father was freaking out and everything has to be right and …." "Okay, Emily. I get it." Emily gave a faint smile "So would that be okay?" "Yea sure, as long as I get to pick the movies and there's lots of popcorn!" Casey turned around "Derek! You aren't invited!" She would not let her step-brother ruin this plan. "Not invited to something in my own house, that hurts Casey, that hurts deep." he said as he held his chest and hung his head. Casey decied to play his game. "Sure you can stay. The theme is musical night and we are going to watch: The Sound of Music, The King and I , Annie, and The Phantom of the Opera" she said with a small grin. "You know now that I think about it I've watched a lot of T.V. today I think I'll just go up on the computer instead." he turned and bolted up the stairs " Suit yourself" she smirked to herself and turned to Emily. "So you ready to start?" "Yup, but first we have to promise each other not to fall asleep."
