Derek walked over to his best friend Brad.

Derek- Hey Brad what's up?

Brad- Nothing much

Derek- listen I talked to my dad this morning and he said I could throw a party tonight, you in?

Brad- Sure you know me I love a good party.

Derek- Especially if girls are there

Brad- Oh yeah

Derek- So your definitely coming

Brad- You bet bro wouldn't miss it for the world.

Derek- Awesome, hey there's Tammy

Brad- So, what about that bitch?

Derek- I want her to spread the news about the party around school that way everyone comes.

Brad- Oh… but I could do that for you.

Derek- No Tam knows who I want there. Hey Tammy wait up.

Tammy turns around a sees Derek running after her. She stops to let Derek catch up to her.

Brad- Later D

Derek- Later

Derek ran over to Tammy and she folded her arms.

Tammy- What do you want?

Derek- Nothing special

Tammy- Whatever

Derek- Hey listen can you do me a favor?

Tammy- No

Derek- There's a party involved

Tammy- What would you like me to do Derek baby?

Derek- (rolling his eyes) whatever… I want you to spread the rumor that I'm having a party at my place tonight.

Tammy- Sure you know me and rumors

Derek- Yeah so you'll do it?

Tammy- Duh but what's in it for me?

Derek- Nothing

Tammy- Come on Derek let me have one date with you

Derek- Not going to happen and besides I have my eyes on another girl.

Tammy- Who?

Derek- (dreamily) Someone I really got to know yesterday

Tammy- Come on Derek tell me

Derek- Sorry, but don't worry you'll see her at the party

Tammy- Okay whatever

(the bell rings)

Derek- Well later I got a test to take in biology .

Tammy- Oh well see you later at your party

Derek- ok see you later then

He ran off and she walked to her class. Derek took his seat, which was next to Karen.

Karen- Hey Derek

Derek- Wow you look so much better today

Karen- Don't you mean sound better?

Derek- Both

Karen- (blushing) Thanks

Derek- So….

Karen- I'm not going to tell you

Derek- Pretty please

Karen- Screw you

Derek- please

He gave her a pout and she laughed.

Karen- Okay…. So Peter and I got back together

Derek- What?

Karen- Yeah, he asked me back out this morning I couldn't really say no.

Derek- Oh

Karen- he sounded really sorry and upset about the whole break up thing. I really care about him so I thought I would give him another chance.

Derek- yeah (depressing sound in his voice)

Karen- I love him so much

Derek- Oh… good for you I guess, but honestly Karen, can you really love someone who broke your heart and made you so upset that you were hyperventilating and everything. I mean I couldn't love someone if they did that to me.

Karen- Yeah Derek but that's you not me. So how was your night?

Derek- Huh, oh fine

Karen- Are you okay?

Derek- yeah… hey would you um like to come to a party at my house tonight?

Karen- Sure as long as I can bring Peter

Derek- Yeah I guess you can

Karen- great

Mrs. Kingsley came into the room with a stack of the test packets in her hand.

Mrs. Kingsley- Okay class settle down and get ready for the test

Karen- (whispering) Thanks Derek

Derek- Yeah no problem

Derek sighed sadly before beginning his test. Hopefully or maybe he could like and get to know Peter as much as Karen did. For some strange reason, he hoped for Peter and Karen to not be together, but he was wrong. He was secretly falling for Karen.
